"What? They already reached Las Vegas?" Sarah asked. "Where"s your scythe? Did you get the bow?""My sister is using them; Betty is also there to offer support," Leon answered. " But a single person can only do so much. Anyway, let"s go to the entrance of the building. I have to give some warnings before I leave."
Sarah nodded, and they headed to the entrance of the building. After showing what Leon did with the three most powerful survivors of that city, a lot of people trembled like leaves when he said he would do the same to anyone who tries to cause problems in the future. He also explained that the survivors and the soldiers would choose the new leader or leaders, but they had to wait for the guys on the island. After that, Leon carried Gisela to his apartment and let her sleep there. It was better to sleep in a place she was used to, after all. In any case, without wasting time, he returned to Las Vegas.

Since Leon had a lot of luggage, he only arrived in the middle of the afternoon of the next day. Even from afar, he could see that things weren"t looking good, several places in the city were burning, and Leon finally saw them… the demons. Leon thought that they were called demons due to their crazy behavior, but no. They did look like demons; some of them had humanoid forms, horns, and dark wings. While the others had many shapes and sizes, birds, wolves, black smiles… However, the ones who had humanoid forms were the most dangerous and vicious. They were crazy enough to fly toward a group of survivors while being hit by magic projectiles only to pick a single survivor and slowly split them in half.
"Monstrous b.a.s.t.a.r.ds… I will make you taste a little of your own poison."
Although Leon wanted, he refrained from doing so. Those monsters were destroying his sister"s city, but he didn"t have time to waste with them. Leon had to eliminate them as fast as possible.
"Let"s see… destroy their brains and hearts."
Leon had no idea where his sister was, but the first place he was to check was her house. So, he killed those demons who could fly using his Earth Arrows. Some of them were fast enough to dodge Leon"s attacks, but not fast enough to keep avoiding forever and reach him. In no time, Leon made dead demons rain over the city while he flew toward Amanda"s home.
When he reached his destination, he saw her garden on fire. The house was mostly intact, but Leon saw several dark slimes inside of it. Those couldn"t use magic, but they could spit acid that could melt stone walls instantly. Despite that, they froze and broke into pieces when Leon used Ice Arrows.
Suddenly, Leon heard Maya"s cry. He hurried to her room, only to find Sasha protecting her against several dark slimes. Her skin had burn marks in several places, but she was still fighting vigorously using two short swords. Leon killed them using several Ice Arrows, and Sasha sighed in relief when she saw an ally.
"Le-Leon!" Sasha said."
"Use this; it should protect your arms and heal your wounds." Leon pa.s.sed the gloves to Sasha.
While Sasha"s mouth was wide open looking at the information of those gloves, Leon hugged Maya and patted her head to calm her down. It looked like, despite the plans, things didn"t work well. Leon didn"t see a single soldier nearby Amanda"s house.
"Where is my sister?" Leon asked.
"She is probably fighting near the central plaza," Sasha explained. "Most of the demons and monsters came from the south, so our forces fought there. However, this morning, they also came from all sides. Amanda and Hector probably decided to retreat slowly in order to keep the formation."
"Got it, I will keep an eye on things around for a while and then offer them some support," Leon said. " By the way, keep an eye those three and don"t let anyone or anything touch them."
Leon didn"t want to let the steel b.a.l.l.s, which were William, Sanchez, and Alisson, in Maya"s room, but it couldn"t be helped. He couldn"t fight while keeping them around, and he also couldn"t let them in an unguarded place.
Sasha frowned when she saw that three human beings were there, but soon she nodded. If those dark slimes could melt walls, the only thing Leon could do was to eliminate all of them before he joins Amanda… and so he did. He couldn"t defeat all monsters, but he could attract them, and then the pile of corpses would lead them out of that part of the city. Leon created a huge fireball to reveal his position, so it didn"t take long before the monsters and demons flew toward him like moths to a flame. Since they were stupid enough to attack Leon head-on, he burned them to a crisp and used the Ice Arrows to kill the dark slimes.
There were a few demons here and there, but their numbers were small, and Leon couldn"t see others coming in the distance. He had done enough in that part of the city, so Leon flew toward the central plaza where a ma.s.sive battle of humans against demons was happening.
"Come on, Leon… you can do it. After this, you can take a break for the rest of your life."
Leon said to himself in order to make himself feel a little less tired.
