Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

"I see now... while Lion's Pride can increase my status and level up while I fight alone, the skill can lose levels if I do something that is against my pride. It is a very weird skill..."

Leon wondered why that didn't happen before but soon noticed that even though he was prideful, he never crossed a certain line. Still, he also started to wonder if Ilyana knew that something like that might happen and still granted Leon the chance to obtain things for free.

Regardless, finally, some things changed on the island. Slimes at the max level only appeared for a single day, and then Leon finally noticed that new monsters would appear at every one hundred and two days.

"It has been a while since I saw those guys... it is a pity that these ones don't drop weapons since they are basically illusions."

Although the Sahuagins were stronger than slimes, they were still at level one, and the island was full of slimes. In fact, Leon had to kill some of them since he could create one every two seconds. The poor Sahuagins immediately got killed when they left the ocean. Another group of ten appeared one minute later, but they suffered from the same destiny.

"I guess I can leave with them the task of getting rid of my slimes."

Leon had to level up Acid Bullet and then decide what he should do next. Although he obtained a lot of points summoning slimes for one month straight, he could have obtained a lot more by training seriously. So, he had to take things seriously for a few days before doing something silly again.

"It looks like gradually the difficulty of this place will increase, while that is good to make me stronger, it is also dangerous if someday ten dragons started to appear every minute... Still, following that logic, the best way to proceed is by learning as many skills as possible and practice them against powerful monsters."

Still, most likely, it would take a while for any strong enough monster to appear. It was possible that only monsters that appear in the world that were on the first stage of assimilation would show themselves for the time being.

After leveling up Acid Bullet to the level one hundred fifty, Leon decided to learn some flashy spells. It would be less tedious and time-consuming to use those, after all. Although Leon could use them on the sea, it was a bit troublesome to get hit by mini-tsunamis afterward. He only did that because the Sahuagins gave him two coins each, and considering everything he knew so far, eventually, they would give him twenty.

"The meteors are just one meter long, and they are quite round at level one... I guess their size will increase by leveling up."

Jertien's Ice Meteors were five meters long, so Leon was expected a lot from those new skills. Still, thanks to their cost, Leon only finished his job of leveling them up to the level one hundred fifty, one month later. It was around the same time his slime summoning skill reached the level max.

Congratulations! The skill Summon Slime has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

"I know that I obtained one thousand points by using those guys, but... looking at their status, I think that I only wasted time. It would be great if the skill had evolved or something, but not even that happened..."

To make matters worse, even though the Sahuagins reached the level three hundred, they only killed a small number of slimes. The island was still crowded, and Leon would have to summon golems. Summon water golems would be a waste of time, so Leon decided to summon fire and earth golems for the time being. While they also fought against the Sahuagins that appeared, they also destroyed the slimes. In the end, Leon made them stop because he noticed that he could drain their mana while doing the dirty jog.

"This will save me some time, but it is very weird..."

Thanks to Haste, that was always active, Leon get rid of his slimes quite fast, and soon afterward, one-third of the island was being used by golems. The poor Sahuagins who didn't manage to kill not even a few hundred slimes barely could scratch the golems. The difference in power was evident, so Leon wouldn't have to create thousands of golems... at least for the time being.

Although it was a bit strange living a gradual process of assimilation, Leon felt a bit satisfied with it because he didn't experience anything so far on the same order or at least at the same speed as the other human being. Besides, it was a bit exciting imagining what kind of monster would appear next... even though the time waiting was almost fifteen weeks.
