"I will need your help, guys," Leon said and then summoned all his spirits.
"I can't believe that you are considering using us like this," Celsius said, visibly annoyed.
"I will repay the favor...somehow," Leon said.
Although Leon talked with his spirits like a lot, he had no idea what things Celsius liked. Perhaps, she liked to complain, but that was something Leon could only think when she was out of his head. As for the others, Efreet liked to fight, and Undine liked to tease Leon. Meanwhile, Sylph and Gnome liked to play.
"Just don't get used to this," Celsius said.
Leon made a mental note to be a few times more friendly with his spirits after that. They were his friends, after all, and their help would definitely change the tide of the battle. While Leon was buying potions, he was also creating several massive containers of steel. All the spirits were helping Leon, but Efreet couldn't do much alone using magic or even his body... his flames quickly melted the bottles.
"Efreet, I think it will be a better idea if you keep the hippogryph's at bay," Leon said.
"Hahaha! Now we are talking!" Efreet laughed. "I don't like wasting time doing complex tasks like that!"
Although Efreet wasn't strong enough to fight them, Leon helped now and then. Regardless, after a few hours, Leon noticed a group of soldiers approaching, one of them was Hector.
"Hey, long time no see..." Hector said while looking at the containers of steel and observing the mana potions moving around thanks to the help of ice, wind, water, and earth. "I don't think it is a coincide that you returned after such a long time, right?"
"Nope, I have come to help... to some extent," Leon said while he was still buying mana potions non-stop.
"I thank you for that, but... what do you mean by that?" Hector frowned.
"Given the circumstances, I don't have the right to judge your actions or choices," Leon said. "However, considering the things I know, it is clear to me that you guys are walking a dangerous path. Wishing for peace is good, I also want that, but it is clear that none of us will have that until we get rid of all monsters and troublesome enemies. Running away and hiding wasn't the best choice you guys made."
The two soldiers looked at Leon, annoyed, and he felt their mana getting intense, they were readying themselves to fight. One more sentence like that, and they would attack Leon, but that was the last of his worries. After looking them in the eye for a single moment, Leon understood that they were men who were born after the humans came to that planet to hide. They were strong physically since they could defeat hippogryphs, but they weren't true survivors... those only who survived numerous battles and tasted despair many times have the right to have such a title. In fact, even Leon thought that he didn't deserve it. He survived a lot of troublesome situations and tasted despair many times, but he doubted that he suffered more than Hector and Amanda.
