Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon had to wait for an entire day before a ninja transported him to outside of Tokyo. Fortunately, he used that time to practice healing skills. That said, he still had a long way ahead of him before he could truly learn the spell.

Much to Leon's surprise, he appeared in the middle of nowhere, and he didn't see the team that would help him, he only saw Makoto.

"Good, keep an eye on things while I'm away," Makoto said. "If you fInd any important information, you should only share with the advisors in the meeting room and when all of them are present."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ninja who brought Leon nodded and then disappeared.

"Shall we go?" Makoto asked.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty." Leon frowned. "Where are the other members of the team who will rescue the princess?"

"We are the team," Makoto said as if it was a matter of fact.

"You can't be serious…" Leon facepalmed.

"You can rest assured, Leon," Makoto said. "Although I don't have the means to defeat you, I'm the strongest soldier of my own army. Besides, after Seiji's betrayal, I can't trust anyone who has power. You are powerful, but you obtained the power to reunite with your family, so I can trust you."

"I'm thankful for having your trust, Your Majesty," Leon said. "But still… this is crazy. Do you understand what you are doing? Although I don't have a daughter, I would do some crazy things to protect my sister and niece, but I'm an ordinary person, and you are not. Can't you see that you are putting your country in a bad spot?"

"Don't worry about it, I solved the most pressing matters," Makoto explained. "The advisors can deal with the minor issues that will present themselves in the next few days."

Leon could only sigh, he already knew that Makoto was crazy enough to participate in the mission to rescue his daughter, but not crazy enough to only select two people for the job. Still, Leon was aware that it was a waste of time convincing him, but he still tried for a while. In the end, Leon would have to succeed in the craziest of the missions.

"What is the plan, Your Majesty?" Leon asked.

"First, you will have to call me by my name," Makoto said. "Seiji and his soldiers left the castle using a similar skill that my ninjas use. So, we lost them completely; we don't have any idea where they went. Our only option is to look by them by investigating the hard way. I doubt that they already reached Moscow, so we have to look for them before they reach their goal."

"Can't you use your spies to find them?" Leon asked.

"… All the spies that I used to watch the Russias stopped giving their reports two days ago." Makoto explained. "Perhaps they are dead, or perhaps they are working for Seiji."

Leon felt a headache; in that mission, they truly couldn't wait to be helped by anyone. To make matters worse, Russia was stupidly large, Leon had no idea where to go or what kind of routes Seiji and his lackeys would use.

"I don't know anything about the geography of Russia, so I will follow your orders," Leon said.

"Let's start by going to the North," Makoto said. "We should use your earth platforms as much as we can at night. By the day, we should walk to avoid suspicious since you already are well-known in my country."

It looked like not even Makoto's spies knew how fast Leon could be. For some reason, Leon didn't saw a single flying dragon since he left the island, so he crossed the ocean flying without worrying about attacks. When morning came, Leon and Makoto arrived at Russian East Coast near a place called Vladivostok.

"To think that you could fly so fast…" Makoto said, visibly impressed.

n his own Leon could fly at almost seventy meters per second. While carrying his luggage and Makoto he could only fly at fifty meters per second. But he decided to keep that information hidden.

"Makoto, can you speak Russian?" Leon asked.

"Yes," Makoto answered.

"In that case, I will let you do the talk in case we find someone," Leon explained. "If you see that people are getting too suspicious of us, you should cough three times, that will be the sign for me to attack anyone nearby."

"All right, but let's not be hasty," Makoto said. "A few Russians wanted my daughter, but that doesn't mean that all Russians are to be blamed for the crime."

"Well, it's your call, I will just obey," Leon said. "By the way, do you fight with your bare fists? Where are your weapons and equipment?"

"Information about the weapons and equipment I use is common knowledge in Japan," Makoto explained. "So, I decided to leave everything behind and just brought my sword.

"… Where is your sword?" Leon frowned.

For a second, Makoto made a silver katana float above his right hand. It was a magic weapon that could appear and disappear according to his will and looked very convenient and powerful.

"I guess that will do," Leon said. "Anyway, first, let's rest for a while. I will make some equipment to use and disguise ourselves.

That region seemed empty, but they still had to be careful. After hiding themselves behind a few rocks near the beach, Makoto watched the surroundings for people and monsters, meanwhile Leon made two sets of armor. Although the final product looked quite good, it was very thin since it was only a disguise. Leon made sure to make helmets that would hide their faces well.

"I guess this is enough for the time being," Leon said. "Use those gloves under your gauntlets; this should keep you alive."

As much as Leon wanted to use those gloves to protect himself, it was better to let Makoto use them. Everything in order to avoid the worst-case scenario.
