Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

In order to make things as efficient as possible, Leon decided to summon several corrupt trees. Although it would take a while for those produce the mana fruit as fast as Leon wanted, it wasn't a waste of time since they could clean the battlefield.

"Oh boy... it looks like the list of weird spells won't end."

Leon thought monsters could only learn some spells, but it looked like Ilyana found a way to cheat the system. At least that was what Leon thought at first, but soon he changed his mind when he saw his new skills in action.

Although it was weird that Leon was learning a lot of animal-like skills as of late, it couldn't be helped since he was focusing on learning skills that were cheap and could be easily used. Fortunately, those skills were easy to use, and Leon didn't have to produce silk or poison from certain parts of his body.

Sonar, Aquatic Breathing, and Enhanced Smell were self-explanatory. Although Silk Creation and Poison Creation were relatively simple, their use wasn't that convenient. Since those were skills Leon learned by using tomes, they could only be used one at a time, and since their level was low, their effectiveness was still questionable.

"It is weird that I can create some very elastic and yet durable silk, but I guess that is only a small bonus considering that I can create new clothes."

The world Sekundez created was really weird. Leon thought that it was an illusionary space, but more and more, he thought that actually was some sort of small parallel reality or at least a world inside her head. Leon could sweat, feel hunger and thirst... his clothes were getting damaged. It wasn't an illusion...

"This is one god-like ability... if a fragment of Sekundez can do this, the original spirit might as well be stronger than Ilyana and all the other harvesters."

Putting such thoughts aside, Leon focused on his task of leveling up his new skills. Although the mana fruits were increased the speed of his training a lot, there was still so much mana Leon could use at a single moment. One week later, Leon leveled up his new skills up to the level one hundred and fifty, but instead of spending more coins to buy new tomes, he decided to make another race against time.historical

"Well, this is silly as always, but at least I don't have to focus too much. It will be relaxing, and as long as I punish myself for failing, it will be a good lesson."

This time Leon bet on making his fire and earth golems reach level max before the goblins reach level five hundred. Although there was a limit of how much monsters he could create on that island, that drawback could be countered easily by making them use their attacks against himself again. Even better, thanks to the mana fruit, Leon could give them mana much more frequently.

​ "I just recovered the levels I lost by accepting a tome for free... I can't fail again."

Seven months have passed since Leon started that trial, and life was boring in that place, and it would continue to be boring until some dragons began to spawn, so Leon had to do that kind of thing to feel challenged in some sort of way. In the end... Leon failed again. His golems only reached the max level when the goblins reached the level six hundred. As much as that difficult, Leon punished himself again...

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Clairvoyance.

The skill Lion's Pride lost ten levels.

To make sure that Leon would try even harder the next time in order to not fail, he acquired a spell that would be difficult to level up. Clairvoyance was basically the evolved version of Sharp Eyes.

Congratulations! The skill Clairvoyance has leveled up.

Much to Leon's surprise, he used all his mana when he tried to see Sekundez's temple. Although he felt a massive headache, he leveled up that skill mana times, and that wasn't half bad.

"I will be able to cross over longer distances using this and Transfer... That is when I leave this place."

Although the mana consumption would be higher than usual, by using that combo, Leon would be able to overcome the major flaw of Transfer. It was his line of sight. Although Teleport still far more useful, he believed that Clairvoyance would grant him the chance to arrive in certain places without being noticed even after using Teleport. That skill would probably grant him the power to move to places he had been before or to places where he could feel certain things, but positioning himself would be difficult.

Regardless, even though it wasn't comfortable, Leon soon made Clairvoyance reach the desirable level by trying to see things outside that dimension.
