Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Since Leon was already sick of that hellhole, he decided to make his spear hollow in order to move faster. He would open a path, and by moving inside the spear, Leon wouldn't have waste time. Even though that was his plan to save time and mana, things weren't going fast enough. Even if Leon uses Haste and multiplies by three the speed he could drain mana, he could only create two grams of mithril per second. It was very impressive but not enough considering Leon's goal.

"If by some miracle I reach the max level of this thing in less than a month, it still will take months to finish the spear..."

After two hours, the spear already had Leon's size, and he was fortunate enough that there was no sign of the mana ending or of the monster reacting. Still, time was of the essence.

"Shall I wait and see and hope that by leveling up, I will eventually reach my goal in just a few months, or should I try something more?"

Just attacking the flesh of the monster wasn't enough since it could regenerate, but if Leon leaves the mithril spear stuck on the flesh, it will prevent the healing was, and at the same time, it would of stack up the damage caused. Leon had to be smart because he couldn't do three things at the same time; he could only use Mana Absorption in one hand and create the mithril spear with the other. Although he could control several spears, it was very different from using spells.

In the end, the only thing Leon could do was also to use Electric Armor to increase his speed a little more, it would be uncomfortable, but it wouldn't be as unpleasant as the heat of that hellhole.

At least by using those active skills, Leon didn't have to worry about his concentration. Also, after several level-ups, Leon managed to reach one of his goals, his recovery reached 2500 points, and now he could focus on increasing his intelligence again.

"It looks like Craft, Blacksmith, Magic Craftsmanship, and Magic Blacksmith won't level up until I finish the weapon. That means I will obtain a lot of status points once I finish... but that is troublesome."

There was also a chance that the creature could react in some way before Leon finishes the weapon and causes critical damage and then stop him from finishing it. That would be very annoying, but it wasn't like Leon had much choice. Although the tip of the spear was more or less finished, he couldn't finish the butt of it because if he does that, he would have problems lifting the spear and make it grow upward.

"Shall I add some spikes around the spear? I bet it would make this damn thing suffer a lot... it is a pity that I would have to waste a lot of time to create that."

In the end, Leon didn't have time to be nasty and make that living prison suffer. Just killing was more than enough for the time being. Regardless, Leon had to work non-stop for one week to create a mithril spear long enough that could pierce two layers of those maze-like paths. Leon forgot that he would most likely penetrate a river of magma, so he almost wet himself when he saw magma flowing inside the spear.

Afterward, things got a little faster since several skills leveled up. However, even after Mana Absorption reached the level two hundred, Leon still had to work for three days straight in order to pierce another layer of space inside the creature.

"Since it has come to this, I guess I don't have to worry about this monster suddenly trying to kill me... unless I destroy some vital organ, it will just ignore me. Rather, this thing even knows that I'm inside of its body?"

Either way, Leon wouldn't change his attitude, but he couldn't help but think that he would love to have such a chance again. Although it was dangerous, the next time he finds another unbelievable gigantic monster, he would stay inside for a while just to have access to nearly infinite mana and train his spells.

After working hard for one month, Leon's spear was already seven hundred meters long and now pierced through twenty layers of flesh, magma, and rocks... Still, Leon couldn't see the end of it. Regardless, now Leon could penetrate one layer of rock, magma, and flesh every single day, and he also discovered something. After leveling up, Mana Absorption to the level three hundred, the beast stopped emitting its hellish heat. Leon could absorb one million mana points every ten minutes, and that was the same amount the monster could recover in that time.

"I don't know if feel happy that I can produce one kilogram of mithril every ten minutes... or if I feel scared that a creature that has one million points in recovery can exist..."

After confirming that and noticing that nothing changed on his surroundings, Leon confirmed that nothing would happen to him. So, he started to work even faster...historical
