Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After three days, the number of prisoners under Leon's control reached the three-digit mark. He didn't know how well those guys' bodies could work, but three days without eating and drinking anything wasn't easy, and it was pretty dangerous. So, Leon decided to free them in order to avoid deaths.

One at a time, Leon used Transfer and made his prisoners appear back near their friends. Once the soldiers noticed that and caused a commotion, Leon moved another to another location.

"I wonder what is wrong with these guys... isn't obvious that I'm hiding underground?"

After freeing all his prisoners, Leon couldn't help but frown. Maybe there were playing dumb and waiting for Leon to mess up... Regardless, after recovering their allies, those soldiers returned to their flying vehicles and then headed toward their spaceship.

"Now what?"

"Now it is our time to shine!" Efreet declared.

Although Leon wanted to wait for a while longer, he wouldn't be able to do that if the soldiers land on the planet. So, he decided on one last thing to scare the crap out of the mithril people.

After organizing the mithril he obtained after draining the mana from the prisoners, Leon waited until it got dark to act. Only when the place was dark enough, and he couldn't see anything weird on the spaceship, Leon made his move. Focusing his sense and also entering in the mood, Leon pointed both hands toward the spacecraft and then activated Gravity and Telekinesis. The very moment he tried to turn the space ship, his mana dropped to zero.

"I can't believe you are trying to pull this off," Celsius said, and Leon imagined her frowning.

"This is getting exciting," Undine said.

"Hah! As expected of Leon," Efreet laughed. "Only someone who defeated me many times would try to do something so insane."

Leon ignored everyone's comments and tried to see if the space ship had moved even a little bit. Since his mana had been used, then his skills worked... but it looked like he was out of range because he didn't notice anything different.

"Well, I don't have anything better to do, and I have a lot of mithril... I guess I will use this to level up some skills."

It was already actually amazing that he could make his mana reach something so far away. Still, Leon didn't feel satisfied with his current level of power. Unfortunately, he didn't have many skills that could reach something so far away. Some of his most powerful magic projectiles probably could hit the spaceship, but they would lose a lot of power and speed once they leave the atmosphere of the planet.

"I bet I can make the space ship move if I touch it and combine Telekinesis, Gravity, and Geomancy... Still, I would probably freeze to death before I even accomplish anything in outer space."

In the end, Leon spent the night leveling up Gravity and Telekinesis, and he also spent a few kilograms of mithril. However, he didn't notice any change in the spaceship. Although Leon thought that had been the case, it looked like he did something without noticing it. When morning came, Leon was about to fall asleep when he heard a high-pitching sound. Leon opened his eyes widely when he saw thousands of magic projectiles falling from the skies and hitting the ground. Leon immediately recognized those; they were Plasma Bullets... the power behind them lacked a little but the number of projectiles compensated for that. Leon didn't take any chances, so he used Anti-Mana Field and canceled the effects of the bullets that almost him.

"I guess they put the technology and mana to put good in many fields... Still, I didn't expect they would destroy the planet like this."

"It won't destroy the planet," Gnome said. "Plasma is basically the four basic elements in a condensed form. Even though it will destroy the surface to some extent, the mana will enrich the land and make the vegetation grow much faster."

"They are probably using this kind of attack knowing that," Undine nodded. "The mithril people, just want to get rid of you using a method that they had planned to execute all along."

If that was the case, then the plan was stupid. At that point in time, whoever was in charge of the spaceship was already supposed to know that Leon could drain mana. Even if there were no monsters or people nearby, Leon still could restore his mana using mithril. The guys who built the spaceship were also supposed to know that mages can produce it. It was the only explanation for them to have so much of it.

Leon didn't notice that, but it looked like the half-mithril people decided to destroy that entire region since it was obvious that Leon was somewhere nearby. They kept firing for hours and hours until a hole that was five hundred meters deep was created, and it was as large as a small city. Still, it hadn't been nearly enough to reach the point where Leon had hidden his titanium shields.

"They can always recreate the land destroyed later, but I didn't expect they would destroy their flying vehicles as well... in the end, it is only obvious that wouldn't let their technology fall on the hands of others."
