Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon couldn't keep a machine that decreases the temperature around him running while he sleeps. So, Leon's best option would be to learn Frozen Aura. However, the cost of that skill was too high... Leon had to learn a weaker version of it. One that wouldn't change the ambient all that much and reveal his position to the magma creatures, but at the same could turn the ambient a little less... hellish.

"I can't learn just like that how to emit a cold wind through all my body... but I can do that using my hands... so tired, I have to finish this on the first try."

Ice Beam was too powerful, so Leon decreased the power of it by many times. He was slowly creating wind and water from the palm of his hand, combining it and leaving it without a target. It was weird... it wasn't an offensive spell, but Leon soon received a notification.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: North Breeze.

Cost: 3 mana mana per second.

You obtained 01 status points.

The moment Leon received the notification, he fell asleep... fortunately, the spell stayed active since the palm of his hand was still upward and firing the breeze upward. Several seconds later, the wind and small particles of ice begun to fell on him.

When Leon woke up, he was feeling many things, a bit hot, wet and kind of refreshed and very hungry... for a second he thought that he had wet his clothes while he was sleeping. But soon, he shook off those thoughts out of his head. He saw several notifications in front of him and understood what happened.

"Cryomancy and North Breeze leveled up until level fifteen... that is kind of surprising. In the end, the skill didn't create all that much water. Otherwise, this place would have been filled by steam."

The cost of the skill also helped Leon. He could keep that active forever, after all. If the cost were just a bit higher, North Breeze would have been deactivated, and Leon would probably die due to the hellish heat. Regardless, Leon solved two of his problems, but he was far from leaving that hell.

"Shit... the first thing I have to do after I woke up is look for parasites to eat? Is that some kind of bad joke?"

If that was the case, Leon wasn't laughing... Anyway, even though Leon had to spend half an hour to create that hideout, he couldn't stay there forever. Leon left the place and immediately got attacked by the magma creatures. Since his mana was full, Leon created another hammer of earth, hardened it, and then send the monsters back to the river of magma. He was too tired and hungry to waste time with them, to make matters worse, every time Leon thought about the food he got even madder.

To make matters worse, before Leon could find his breakfast, he bound a bifurcation... once again, he had to choose between the left or right path. Leon stopped to take a deep breathe... because that was getting on his nerves.

It was hard to know if getting pissed would help Leon or not. Getting worked up would level up Rage, but at the same time, he would consume a lot more energy... considering that food was scarce there, it wasn't a good idea to do that. Regardless, Leon chose the left path again... only to find a parasite and another dead end.

"That bastard really teleported me to this place to annoy me... instead of getting stronger, I feel like I'm going to die since a vein will probably explode If I keep getting pissed like this."

Leon returned to the bifurcation and repeated the same things he did previously... he put his arms on the lava and only took them out once he couldn't endure the pain anymore.

"I guess I still lack some passive skills... the fact that I got teleported again and couldn't do a single thing is proof enough. Still... I'm pretty sure I have all elemental resistances. So, how can I counterspells like teleportation and summoning?"

Mana Armor didn't work, and there was a chance that perhaps Mana Barrier could work, but Leon wouldn't bet on that possibility. Until now, he thought that Teleport belonged to the shadow element, but since Leon obtained Darkness Resistance when he fought against Donan and he didn't receive any notification after meeting with the shadowy figure again, he was wondering if that was really the case.

"There are spells like Mana Bullet that can't be categorized in any elemental classes, after all. So, it is possible that Teleport doesn't belong to any elemental category... I need another type of resistance to stop that kind of thing from happening."

Leon concluded that there was something like Teleportation Immunity, but if he couldn't even learn something like Fire Absorption, could he learn something like that even without having no idea how to replicate? The answer was no. In the end, Leon only came up with a single idea of how to counter that kind of attack... he had to keep moving. Teleportation certainly was a spell that bends the space, but it couldn't bend all space. So, Leon couldn't give his enemies the chance to aim.
