Unlimited Power: The Arcane Path

Ren frowned when he saw Leon hitting thirty of his soldiers with scary precision. His soldiers didn't block the attack. Leon was the one who hit their weapons at the same time.

"You have a pretty good aim..." Ren said.

"It is thanks to the helmet, without it, I doubt that I would even hit half of the targets," Leon said.

The soldiers got caught by surprise, but soon they recovered from the shock. They had been trained well enough to recover themselves. Leon didn't wait for them to say something. He just shot another volley of Ice Punches.

It looked like Leon wouldn't actually waste too much time there. His skills would progress even faster when Ren and Yuki join the fray. A few hours later, Yuki appeared and saw some soldiers on the floor and breathing hard. Their arms had several bruises, and she could see signs of broken bones and damaged muscles. Yuki became a muscle-head, but Leon noticed that she didn't neglect her talents while looking after the soldiers he 'beat to a pulp.'

"It looks like you have a lot of fun while I was away," Yuki said after she healed her soldiers. "Let's see if you will have the same fun against me."

Yuki entered her battle stance, but she didn't move from the place. She wasn't armed with her gloves, which means that she wanted to block Leon's attacks using her arms alone. Leon hesitated but soon got rid of those thoughts. Even if he damages Yuki a little bit too much, she was fast enough to heal any wound before something bad happens. Ren joined her sides, but it looked like the soldiers wouldn't join them. They were preparing to leave, and no one was approaching.

"Only you two this time?" Leon asked.

"The other soldiers will only join us at dawn," Yuki said. "Don't hold back. This won't be fun unless you take things seriously."

Yuki became a troublesome woman, but since she asked for it and it would be disrespectful to ignore her wishes, Leon decided to take things seriously. However, he couldn't go all out. Besides, his goal was to train his spells, so he cast five Ice Punches toward her and the other five toward Ren in a rapid succession. As expected, Yuki used her own fists to attack and destroy all the magic projectiles. Meanwhile, Ren engulfed his sword on fire and destroyed all Ice Punches in a single strike. Still... both of their hands started to bleed. Their weapons didn't fully nullify the power behind Leon's attacks.

"Is that all?" Yuki asked. "I can't believe you defeated my soldiers with just that."

"I didn't defeat them, I just practiced with them a little," Leon sighed. "Why are you getting so worked up?"

In the blink of an eye, the bleeding stopped. So, Leon resumed his actions. The next time and fired seven Ice Punched toward them. But once again, they destroyed the magic projectiles. There was no need to tell them to heal themselves, so Leon attacked again and increased the projectiles little by little.

When it dawned, Leon was allocating his status points while studying the fallen Ren and the pale, but still smirking Yuki. It was very impressive. They helped Leon to reach the level one hundred in two skills in just a few hours. But he couldn't help but worry about their mental health... their bones broke again and again, but they didn't ask for a pause, and things didn't get easier when Leon used the Fire Punches. There was no impact, but the heat of the fire wasn't something to laugh at.

"Look on the good side. I'm not the only one who can have his mental health questioned."

When the next group of soldiers appeared, they frowned when they saw their empress wounded and her right hand on the floor in front of a strange man, but Yuki explained to them what had happened before something troublesome could happen.

In the end, those three days passed in the blink of an eye since Leon didn't have to wait even for a minute for a new target. Many, many soldiers came to the training ground because it was a rare chance to see the immortal empress and her biggest simp training together with a mage that could actually wound them.

"This wasn't as bad as I had imagined it would be. At least it is clear that my hard work still is paying off, that is clear considering that even my weakest spells can wound the most powerful survivors of Earth."

Leon would feel even more bored with training if the difference in power between himself and the other humans decreased... even though the inverse would actually decrease his worries a lot. Even though Ren, at some point, became weaker than Yuki, he wasn't half bad. In the future, Leon was sure that they would help a lot in the battle against the harvesters.
