"The job is done, and thanks to you, the Atlantic Free Nation beca our allies," Tom said. "It looks like they will have five represents, and those five will contact the other international leaders when the ti cos. I also gave them the phones to do so. What's the plan now?"
"I guess you guys should return to New York," Leon said. "It will take a few days for the survivors to collect the dragons' hearts for , even though they are gladly doing that since my zombies are protecting their borders. Anyway, Sarah said that she was short-handed, so you guys really should return as soon as possible."
"Got it, see you next ti," Tom said.
In the end, Tom and the others mostly worked to buy the mana potions Leon needed. In any case, there weren't really needed since the zombies could protect the survivors while they rebuild the cities that were destroyed and work to prepare for the next fights. Unlike Leon had imagined, they were working hard to the next ti be able to protect their hotowns themselves instead of being saved by a stranger.
"I guess I will make the zombies disappear after one week just in case and tell them that the zombies have an 'expiration date.' That will work for the best."
That would work in order not to let the other nations rely on that skill too much. Besides, Leon couldn't leave Las Vegas every single ti sothing unexpected happens. The countries working together had to solve that themselves, obviously, Leon would help but once now and then. Otherwise, everyone would rely too much on him.
"I'm going to investigate the areas around the dungeons of this continent." Leon declared. "What are you guys going to do?"
"We will accompany you, obviously," Betty said. "Amanda will get mad at us if we leave you alone for a second."
"Yes," Sasha nodded.
Leon couldn't help but shrug. Even though his little sister was quite scary but at the sa ti cute when she was angry, he didn't feel that intimidated. It was hard to understand why they were so serious about such a silly job.
South Arica was too big and had more than three hundred dungeons, by Leon's calculations, the survivors would need one week to collect all dragon hearts, so he didn't have ti to investigate every single dungeon. But in the end, he didn't have to. After flying for a few hours, Leon found one of the places where the dungeon breaks happened. It was a moths' dungeon, the creatures were quite scary and ugly up close, but they were weak against fire and electricity... However, Leon wasn't interested in that. He got interested in the massive crater, which was in front of the dungeon.
"Did a teor fall here?" Betty asked.
"I don't see any teor..." Sasha said.
The crater was massive; it was more or less two kiloters large and five hundred ters deep. Leon and the others moved to the center of the crater, but they didn't found any teor. A teor didn't fall there; a monster created that crater with a powerful attack.
"This is weird... if an attack of a monster caused this, the impact should have been felt at least in Porto Alegre. But the survivors there didn't ntion earthquakes or anything the like…"
Leon investigated several other dungeons, so had no weird things nearby like craters, but so had. In so mountains that were nearby dungeons in Chile, Leon found several of them that had been destroyed in part by sothing.
"What could have caused all of this?" Betty asked.
"I don't think that even dragons can destroy mountains so easily," Sasha said.
After searching for a few more days, Leon also found sothing even more suspicious; he found craters that had been filled with sand. As if soone was trying to hide their actions…
"Jesus Christ… I thought that only brain-dead monsters were the cause of our problems, but that isn't the case."
If a monster caused the dungeons breaks and destroyed mountains and opened craters, it was a very smart monster since it was trying to hide the things it did. It was still very weird, why it would go so far to cause dungeon breaks and destroy several places only to conceal its trails sloppily? It didn't make any sense…
Although Leon didn't want to rely too much on his zombies to clear dungeons, he would use them to observe the dungeons for him if they could, but they couldn't.
"We have to monitor all the dungeons in the world to avoid such disasters again… but, it is impossible to put caras near them to watch them in real-ti."
Most places where the dungeons appeared got destroyed by the wave of monsters, so there was no electricity. Thus they couldn't use vigilance caras. The only viable solution was to create a cara that works by sucking mana from its surroundings. Still, according to Sarah, the people studying the choppers were having a hard understanding of its chanisms.
Maybe Leon could ask for the Russian leader to monitor the dungeons, but that was unreasonable, even if he still had control over so satellites, it would be impossible for him to watch a thousand dungeons.
"You look troubled, Leon," Betty said.
"Shouldn't you feel troubled, too?" Leon asked.
"Usually, that would be the case, but after seeing thousands of dragons destroying my hotown, I reached the conclusion that so things are beyond human understanding," Betty said.
"… Who are you, and what did you do with the real Betty that I know?" Leon smirked.
"You will need to try harder if you want to make mad." Betty looked away.
Still, Betty had a point; so things were really beyond human understanding. However, Leon didn't want just to accept that so readily. He wanted to find out who or what caused the dungeon breaks and who or what made monsters appear on Earth.
