Chapter 390

While Leon was using Transfer and moving toward New York, he started to wonder about the things he should do now. He suffered a lot inside the galactic snake because he lost his magic items and everything else he had, but because he lost them, he also obtained power and skills that no one would be able to steal from him. Because Leon couldn't rely on anything but himself, he got a lot stronger... so he was wondering if he should use monsters and create some mithril in case he needs it.

"Solving problems in the middle of a battle using that method will be easy... but won't I get too lax if something similar happens? Instead of relying on tools, I should use my head to think of ways to prevent troublesome situations instead of thinking of ways to solve them."

Leon was thinking about that while he was flying over Kansas City... or at least was left of that place. That wasn't one of the areas that had been recovered by survivors after the monsters appeared, but Leon was worried about the fact that he didn't find any human or civilization along the way. He only saw monsters...

"They are a bit stronger than I remember... Anyway, it doesn't look like they want to put everything on fire."

They had quite a bit of mana, so Leon decided to attack them using Thunder Ray and drain their mana. Although Leon got powerful, his offensive spells didn't level up in the last months. In the end, Leon needed mana to train them. However, since Leon was in a hurry, he only made a small box of mithril, which weighed one kilogram.

Even though Leon spent one hour doing that, he arrived in New York two hours after leaving Las Vegas... his mobility increased a lot thanks to Transfer, but he didn't feel like celebrating that. New York wasn't covered in a forest of monsters, but the place was abandoned. All the bridges had fallen due to the lack of maintenance. Leon couldn't even see the ground or the streets since the grass was pretty tall. Even though a lot of time has passed, Leon noticed some craters... those were signs of battles and some big spells had been used to destroy most of the city.

"Shit... all my work had been for naught."

Leon also found a dungeon in the middle of the destroyed city, and the monsters that the place was spawning didn't give Leon time to get angry or sad.

Ghost swords were creatures that were ten meters tall and had the appearance of a massive sword. However, the hilt looked alive, and Leon could see a single glowing eye in the middle of it. Those creatures would be annoying if they get too close, so Leon hit their eyes with Plasma Bullet. Surprisingly, only that wasn't enough to kill them. However, Plasma Arrow did the job.

"Earth really is on the fourth stage of assimilation... I didn't notice any difference on Miebos, but on Celosie and Dasaliv, monsters could use the purple crystal at will to move between worlds... what changed now?"

It was only evident that the monsters got stronger, but Leon wasn't interested in that. If New York had been abandoned and Las Vegas was no more... then the chances of Leon finding any survivor in his country were low. He taught a lot of people how to use Earth Creation, and those people worked to create walls in Las Vegas... Still, Leon didn't find a single sign of walls there. The situation was worse than Leon had imagined, and his head was in turmoil.

"Shit... shit... why, why? I spent so much time teaching people magic, why this place is abandoned?"

Since Leon didn't find any sign of Amanda and Maya, then he would have even less luck finding his friends. It would also be challenging to find Sarah and Tom... the only options Leon had left were Yuki and Ren. However, considering that America was the center of the alliance with the other nations, Leon couldn't imagine Japan surviving whatever happened to the world. Besides, Leon disappeared before he could talk with the Indian and Chinese leaders, considering that Japan was close to them. It wouldn't be weird that the country that suffered the most.

Despite not hearing anything aside from the movement of the ghost swords, Leon walked around New York for quite a while. He couldn't use Mana Dominion, so he could only rely on his senses to hear anything or anyone. However, there wasn't a single sign of human life there.

"Amanda, Maya, guys... where are you?"

Leon headed to Japan to confirm that, but based on what he saw... his home country was now the lair of monsters. America was no more...
