V6.C3 Another surprise, Solving a crisis

Leo scrolled through his list and chose [Martial Arts], [Marksmanship] and [Melee Weapon Mastery] to fuse. After paying the price of 16000SP another useful skill came out of the fusion.

[Master of Wars] (Passive skill)

Allows the user to wield any weapon in existence with the highest efficiency.

The surprise didn't faze him. That seemed wrong, his eyes were still wide open. He equipped the cursed sword in his hands, the sword never felt so natural in his hands. He lightly swung the sword, creating a long trail in the desert. He couldn't help but marvel at the difference in power.

Next was [Hellfire Orb] and [Fire Breath].

[Hellfire Breath] (Active skill)

Allows the user to manipulate the fire of chaos and destruction.

He flipped his palm and manipulated mana to his hand. A ball of black fire mixed with red floated above his palm. He even tried touching it to find he had fire resistance. Looking at the fire orb, a crazy idea formed in his mind. Blackish fire with red tint flowed from his hands and coated his whole body.

'Great!'

His brief session came to an end when a new presence entered his territory.

'Isn't that Bize and the butler called Mervyn I believe? Should I save him?'

The white-haired young man with tanned skin was about to fill the stomach of a worm monster. Leo granted him mercy and killed the worms surrounding the young man with a thought.

'I should request an outrageous amount of money for saving his life.'

Grinning mischievously, he teleported behind Bize.

Meanwhile, Bize along with Mervyn stood with an aghast expression on their faces. The corpses of dozens of sandworms lay in front.

"Mervyn-san? Who do you believe did this?"

"Beiz-sama, I do not know. But there is only one young man who can do this in the whole world."

Some color returned to Baiz's pale face and he looked at the necklace on his neck. He really wanted to call Leo for help but the last meeting really shamed him. He wanted to make a new friend for his advantages. But he couldn't bring himself to accept the proposal.

"Yo! Baiz!"

The unexpected voice nearly made him jump in surprise. He immediately turned back to see the Devil smiling like a kid who pranked his parents.

"W-Where did you come from? And is this doing yours?"

Leo lightly nodded to answer his question. He was wondering what to choose as the reward.

"Anyway, where were you two going in such a hurry?"

"Oh, we were going… Gugh!"

Biz suddenly fell to his knees and began gasping for air. Leo detected the mana inside him was rampaging uncontrollably.

"Bize-sama! Please hold on!" Mervyn turned to Leo and lowered his head. "If you have a miraculous potion, please give it to Bize-sama."

Do I look like a God? Yeah, I had something to cure this…

He shook his head and took out the useless ore rotting inside his inventory.

"Serene stone! It can cure Bize-sama. Please mix its powder into water and give it to Bize-sama. We'll pay any price."

Leo did so and gave the glass filled with water to him. Bize weakly opened his eyes. He was sweating bullets because of the heat in Gruen Desert.

"What happened? Am I still alive?"

Leo opened a gate to the Royal Palace of Ankaji Dukedom and tossed both of them inside. On the other side was the same room he ate the meal with Bize. He stared at the Young Lord and Butler duo with a serious expression.

"What happened? What is that disease?"

Mervyn muttered something under his breath and started to explain the incident. In his words, three days ago, a high fever epidemic descended on Dukedom. More than 20,000 people had fallen unconscious. The healers in the communal center were unable to look after anyone, resulting in the death of nearly a thousand patients.

The cause of all of this was drinking water containing a poison that causes mana inside to rampage. Even the oasis was polluted. Thus, Bize and Mervyn set out to request water for 270,000 residents of Dukedom.

"...Even my mother and sister are weakened and my father… his weak body couldn't take it anymore… I request your aid, as the current Lord of the Dukedom. You can teleport to anywhere from the gate, so please bring us to the Heiligh Kingdom."

Leo turned his head and sighed. He wasn't the one to let innocents die if he could save them with just a lift of his finger. The begging look in 

"I have enough Serene stone to cure everyone. As for water, I can purify the oasis. But mark my words, you'll owe me your life from now on and do everything I say."

Bize's face paled, he could become a slave and let everyone live or just ignore it and wait for help.

"Please help us! I'll do anything in my power."

"Good. Then, here is your order for Serene stone."

A tear in the space appeared and began pouring faint pink colored ore. When it stopped, a small mountain was formed out of it. Bize and Mervyn dumbfoundedly stared at the heap of Serene stone.

"W-Why do you have so many of them?"

"Oh, I just picked them when we conquered Gruen Volcano Labyrinth. Tell me if you need more."

I can just create them if I want...

"Y-You have more of them. God! I'm sorry for calling you Devil. You are a true Apostle of God."

He waved his hand with an indifferent face and opened the door. "I'll go and purify the oasis."

On his way out of the palace, he ran into Grazie, Bize's mother. Her appearance looked really haggard, her face appeared to be aged more than ten years by weakness. He greeted her politely and headed toward the oasis.

Baiz and Mervyn hurriedly ran toward the oasis. At the very least wanted to witness how the young man would cure the massive oasis.

Leo after getting the Warlord's territory always kept it activated for any ambush and when he stood in front of the oasis, he was surprised to find a presence brimming with vitality hiding in the bottom of the oasis.

Baiz, followed by Mervyn, reached the oasis. Every healthy person inside Dukedom watched the shocking scene playing in front of them. Thousands of tons of water floated in the air like it weighed nothing. The young man with platinum blonde hair floated above the oasis, his fingers danced in the air and surprisingly, the water followed his directions.

"Is he really a God?" Bize couldn't help but whisper his doubt.

"Maybe…"

After the water nearly filled the vision, Leo waved his hand to create a rift and forced every drop of water inside it. Just as the water level hit the bottom, a slime-like body with numerous tentacles rose from the oasis.

"So it was the cause of the water poisoning… Demon-race? Only they have reasons to poison human countries. Can't these guys stay peaceful..."
