YM778.TV 408 Chapter 407
Soon Leon learned that the city was called Dragon Yard... quite the mighty name for a human city in another world. Leon couldn\'t help but wonder if a ten-year-old child had given that name. Regardless, it was only obvious, but the place warehouses, shops, and specialized buildings to skin all types of monsters.
The tower was in the middle of the city, and now that Leon was close, he could see that the place didn\'t have all that many floors. The tower had ten levels, and Leon would have to defeat ten warriors to prove that he wasn\'t an enemy.
"This place doesn\'t seem too bad... but it looks only the strong can prove their points here."
Leon could see some kids playing around and teenagers practicing their skills. They didn\'t look in any way sad or beaten… it looked like the current leader of the city was a good guy who didn\'t tolerate violence against the weak.
The tower of the sin... it was the name of that tower. Now Leon was sure that the same kid named both the city and the tower. That tower was made of steel, and every floor was separated by thirty meters of pure steel. Even if superhuman like beings fight there, the place wouldn\'t be destroyed.
Although the inhabitants of that place looked at Leon with dubious eyes, they didn\'t seem afraid since fifty heavily armed guys surrounded him. Perhaps they would feel some fear if they knew that Leon got attacked by several minutes but didn\'t suffer a single scratch.
"Enter," The guard said.
When they arrived at the tower, the guards made sure that Leon had no route to escape, and the only possible path was to enter the tower. Leon couldn\'t help but sigh if they wanted to close all the routes, they also had to fly...
Regardless, the steel gates of the tower opened, and Leon entered without any hesitation. The first thing Leon found was a long ladder around the walls of the tower, the inside of the place was one hundred meters long and wide, but it looked like Leon would have to climb a little before finding his first challenge. Eventually, Leon met the first warrior he would have to face. Although he expected to hear some cheesy lines, the man on the other side of the room just readied his sword.
"No talk, huh," Leon said.
It looked like there were no rules for the battle or someone to oversee the action, so Leon just attacked using Mana Bullets, the swordsman didn\'t see the attack, but it felt the air vibrating. The warrior tried to dodge while protecting his head using his sword, he succeeded in preserving his head, but Leon hit every single other part of his body and break his bones since he wasn\'t wearing any single piece of armor. The warrior fell on the floor, unconscious due to the amount of damage he received, and Leon approached it while he was moaning in pain to heal his body.

"I should do this in order to make them spread the word that I\'m not an enemy."
Although the battle ended quickly, Leon obtained some status points, so he was feeling quite generous. Soon the warrior woke up and then granted Leon the chance to move to the next floor.
The second warrior was a redhead, female archer. She also wasn\'t wearing any armor so Leon couldn\'t help but wonder if that was a thing or he would face more equipped adversaries the more he climbs the tower. Once Leon got ready, the archer shot several steel arrows in fast succession, and much to his surprise, he didn\'t see her stopping her attacks.
Even if Leon\'s Anti-Mana Field wouldn\'t stop those arrows, since those had been created by magic but had physical forms, Leon stopped the arrows using Telekinesis and then connected them all together using Gravity. That action created a giant steel arrow that, at the same time, protected Leon and could be used as a weapon.
Leon shot the massive chunk of steel, and that made the female warrior pale since the speed was unbelievable, but she passed out after being hit by an Earth Punch on her face. The steel arrows would be an overkill, and Leon wasn\'t there to kill anyone. So, he did that and waited for the female warrior to wake up.
The difficulty increased a little bit with every warrior. So, Leon started to wonder if that wasn\'t something that came out of a game or something. Still, Leon faced lancers, swordsmen, archers... but not a single mage. So, he couldn\'t help but frown after he defeated the seventh warrior.
"What the hell... I wasted my time teaching so many people, and the best thing they could create using mana are steel plates?"
Certainly, being a mage wasn\'t easy... the ordinary ones couldn\'t do anything or fight for longer periods without mana potions. But that kind of barrier only helped Leon to find creative ways to solve his problems. While Leon was thinking about that, he reached the eighth floor, and there he finally found someone familiar... Tom.
"Welcome, young warrior," Tom smiled brightly. "You did well come so far and surviving until this point. It has been thirty years since someone reached this floor and challenged me."
"So, no more silent battles now, huh," Leon said. "I guess it is already obvious who are the two I will have to face later..."
Tom didn\'t change all that much physically, but it looked like his attitude changed a little... Regardless, he didn\'t recognize Leon either.
