"Jesus Christ... why my life has so much grinding... It's not like I hate this, but everything has a limit."

Leon already knew that, but it looked like life would always spit on his face that he couldn't choose the safest option. To find the fastest and possibly the only way to return home, Leon couldn't do anything but keep doing insane things. He didn't know if the shadowy figure was a god or not, but since he killed a powerful fragment of the spirit of shadow, he was a fearsome enemy, and he would have to get stronger to beat him and get the answers he wanted. So, to obtain that power, Leon decided to level up all his skills up to level thirty.

Soul Eater

It drains and stores all the mana of enemy foes.

Mana Stored: 12123625412

After returning to Dasaliv, Soul Eater had that much of mana. Although it wasn't a small amount, against a creature that was absorbing mana of several worlds, Leon would have to increase it by many times. So, he also decided to use half of the mana he obtains by using Mana-Eater to store it in Soul Eater and the other half he would use to level ups his skills.

"Well, at least everything becomes much simple and faster, all thanks to Multi-Conjuration and Fast-Conjuration. Let's see for how long the mana of this magic circle can help level up my most basic skills..."

Leon wondered for quite a while if it wasn't a better idea just to level up Magma Bullet or develop even more powerful skills combining all basic elements. That kind of attack worked well against the angels, after all. However, it was clear that the shadowy figure was someone who a lot of magical power. Thus it was safe to assume that he had access and the means to counter such spell. So, it was better to increase his raw power and mana and then attack using the Sword of Light. It was the most high-leveled skill on Leon's arsenal, after all. Besides, the light was probably the best element to damage someone who had the power of the spirit of shadow.

"Well, that makes sense in games, but what about reality?"

Leon and the harvesters caused the downfall of almost one million angels, despite all that, it wouldn't be weird if that shadowy figure faced and still faces monsters that can use that kind of element. So, most likely, the shadowy figure has some resistance against light-type attacks. Anyway, even if that was the case, Leon had no better weapon to use.

Still... if it comes the moment where Leon's magic becomes useless, that was another thing he could use... but he really didn't want to use that... So the only thing he could really do was to work hard and prepare himself for all possible outcomes.

After the end of the first day of training, Leon made a mental note to increase the level of his lowest skills at least once every day. Although he wouldn't always have such a convenient way to recover his mana, it was too easy to level up the low-level skills he learned years ago. His mana pool grew to the point where that kind of thing was possible, and he also had the tools to recover his mana quite fast. So, leveling up his weak spells in order to gain some status points was a must.

"Why I feel so empty doing this... Is it because I got used to it? Or is it because I have a lot of skills? It has been a while since I felt any sense of accomplishment..."

Suddenly, Leon stopped and frowned due to his feelings. He obtained a lot of status points, and those would help him to go home... but Leon couldn't feel even a bit happy. At first, Leon thought it was his usual depression after so many failures, but that wasn't the case. He wasn't feeling lethargic, after all. It was just... as if everything had become routine. Training his spells, obtaining status points, getting stronger, and failing at reaching his goal... it became... normal.

"This is a very bad feeling... no matter what, I can't let myself get used to failures."

Maybe it was because his goal became even more difficult, or perhaps it was because the scale of his problems was much bigger. Either way, Leon couldn't let himself be overwhelmed by any situation or problems.
