430 Chapter 429
The moment Leon appeared, the first thing he thought was to rip the heads of those five bastards. However, Leon couldn't kill them... at least not yet. Since he couldn't give them any chance to run away either, he covered their entire bodies with the exception of their nose with earth then transformed it into steel. Even if they could use Transfer, they wouldn't be able to move a single centimeter since their eyes had been closed.
"Shit... now I can't punch them." Leon clicked his tongue.
The other twenty-five people started to scream and ran when they saw five of their allies had become deformed steel statues. However, they were stopped when the guards of the wall suddenly flew and surrounded them. At the same time, Yuki and Ren finally landed on the ground.
"At least warn us when you decide to act..." Yuki furrowed her eyebrows. "Are those five the terrorists?"
"Yes," Leon said while he was distorting the steel shape to make those bastards feel in their limbs as much as pain as possible.
"What about the others?" Ren asked.
"They had been infected, their memories had been erased or perhaps even replaced as well since they are acting as if those pieces of trash are really their allies," Leon answered.
"We can't revert their memories back," Yuki said. "But, I can cancel the infection."
"Good, lock those maggots in a safe place while I visit Australia to capture the others," Leon said and then turned around the steel balls and made them hit their heads on the floor a few times. "Don't let them wake up. They might have Telepathy and try to inform their other allies."
"Yes... do what he said," Yuki said. "I will leave things with you, Ren. I'm going with him to Australia. We will be able to solve things faster if I head there myself."
"Understood." Ren nodded.
The moment Ren left the place while he and some soldiers were transporting the terrorists, Yuki started to use Full-Recover to cancel Chakra Affliction. Leon analyzed the status, and he confirmed that that skill really worked.

While Yuki was explaining to the immigrants what just happened, her phone begun to ring and when he checked it. She smiled widely, and she looked at Leon and nodded... the other terrorists appeared in Australia.
At the cost of half of his breastplate, Leon and Yuki arrived in Australia half an hour later. Although the whole continent had the same walls that were protecting Japan, not the entire area inside of the walls had cities or even fields to grow crops. Although Mana changed the climate and even the vegetation for the better, there was a limit of how much food they could eat. The production was fast, so they didn't have to make use of their whole terrain.
Regardless, Leon and Yuki had to fly for more than five minutes in order to reach the convoy that was transporting another group of exactly thirty survivors. They could have arrived faster, but it looked like Yuki didn't like to fly all that much. Thus, her flying speed was low.
"They are smart enough to split after returning to Earth, but not smart enough to choose a different strategy for both groups..."
Leon made sure to fly high enough for his body to be mistaken as of some bird. Despite the distance, he still managed to see and analyze all those thirty immigrants... once again, twenty-five of them had been infected while five men were the real terrorists. Without wasting any more time, Leon used Transfer, and when he appeared in front of the group, he covered them using earth magic once again. However, this time he made sure to leave their mouths free for a few seconds. After punching their mouths and breaking their teeth. Leon felt refreshed and then covered the rest of their bodies in steel.
"And you call me imprudent..." Yuki frowned when she appeared late again.
The guards that were escorting the group stopped their convoy when they heard some of the immigrants screaming and causing a ruckus. Now that Leon thought about it, those people sure were a bunch of scaredy-cats considering that they lived and fought the monsters for over nine hundred years.
"Perhaps those bastards can even change the personalities of some people by replacing their memories... what a bunch of low-lives..."
"Lady Yuki? I knew that you were coming, but..." One random guard said. "I didn't hear that you would appear like this."
"Sorry, but we are in a hurry," Yuki said. "If you know about the situation, you should explain it to the immigrants after we leave. We will only take the terrorists with us in order to interrogate them."
"Understood, I will pass the message to my superiors," The guard said. "Thanks for coming in-person to solve this situation."
While Yuki and the guard were talking, Leon turned the terrorist's upside down and made their heads hit the ground several times. Although the mass of steel was pretty dense, Leon was pretty much fine since he was constantly absorbing his mithril breastplate. Still, at that rate, once they return to Japan, Leon would only have a helmet and the bracers... and that would make him look pretty silly.
"You sure are skilled at using earth magic," Yuki said while she was using Full-Recover on the immigrants. "What is your secret?"
"The power of friendship..." Leon said.
Although Leon had no problem in answering that to his old friends, he wouldn't reveal the existence of spirits to a bunch of strangers. Trust the friends that forgot about him wasn't a good idea, but revealing that kind of information slowly was an excellent way to test them if they had any intentions of betraying him or not.
