443 Chapter 441 (1/2)

”I can't believe that you are considering using us like this,” Celsius said, visibly annoyed.

”I will repay the favor...somehow,” Leon said.

Although Leon talked with his spirits like a lot, he had no idea what things Celsius liked. Perhaps, she liked to complain, but that was something Leon could only think when she was out of his head. As for the others, Efreet liked to fight, and Undine liked to tease Leon. Meanwhile, Sylph and Gnome liked to play.

”Just don't get used to this,” Celsius said.

Leon made a mental note to be a few times more friendly with his spirits after that. They were his friends, after all, and their help would definitely change the tide of the battle. While Leon was buying potions, he was also creating several massive containers of steel. All the spirits were helping Leon, but Efreet couldn't do much alone using magic or even his body... his flames quickly melted the bottles.

”Efreet, I think it will be a better idea if you keep the hippogryph's at bay,” Leon said.

”Hahaha! Now we are talking!” Efreet laughed. ”I don't like wasting time doing complex tasks like that!”

Although Efreet wasn't strong enough to fight them, Leon helped now and then. Regardless, after a few hours, Leon noticed a group of soldiers approaching, one of them was Hector.

”Hey, long time no see...” Hector said while looking at the containers of steel and observing the mana potions moving around thanks to the help of ice, wind, water, and earth. ”I don't think it is a coincide that you returned after such a long time, right?”

”Nope, I have come to help... to some extent,” Leon said while he was still buying mana potions non-stop.

”I thank you for that, but... what do you mean by that?” Hector frowned.

”Given the circumstances, I don't have the right to judge your actions or choices,” Leon said. ”However, considering the things I know, it is clear to me that you guys are walking a dangerous path. Wishing for peace is good, I also want that, but it is clear that none of us will have that until we get rid of all monsters and troublesome enemies. Running away and hiding wasn't the best choice you guys made.”

”I see... so, how are you going to proceed?” Hector asked.

”I will kill the demi-minotaurs as much as I can, but only after you guys understand that the battle against monsters will never end,” Leon answered. ”In the not so far future, some bastards will come to Earth and eventually this planet to hunt down all humans. They will turn our planet into a living hell. I'm going to protect it, but I'm not going to babysit anyone.”
