Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After the battle, Leon noticed that he had consumed a good part of his two boots... as expected, he did the right thing in making them useful in that kind of situation.historical

"Mmm... this place is..."

Leon couldn't help but frown when he looked around, he had imagined that he would see a world very similar to one of the elemental golems, but that one also looked very ordinary. Leon could see in the distance a forest, a few mountains and... a massive castle.

"The sentient race of this planet still exists? That is surprising... but if that is the case, why they aren't trying to invade Earth?"

Maybe Leon should change his mindset a little... it was a bit harsh to consider that every single creature of other planets were his enemies. Regardless, the building was so massive that Leon couldn't even see any scratches from that distance. It was hard to imagine if that had been built after the dragons appeared or before and managed to survive their attacks.

"I wonder what I should do... if there are people there, I can't understand why they didn't try to communicate with the humans from Earth. If they aren't interested in domination or aren't concerned with them, it must be because they are powerful, but that doesn't make any sense, since this world is supposed to be on the third stage of assimilation."

The more Leon thought about it, the more confused he got. To avoid problems and unpleasant surprises, Leon decided to lay low for a while and do his own things. He came to that world to train, after all. Not to make friends. It didn't take long before a few elementals started to approach the purple crystal that would lead to Earth.

"I guess it is time to level up my skills. I must start following the order on the list..."

After covering the monsters' bodies with earth magic, Leon shot several Fire Bullets toward them by combining Fast Conjuration and Multi-Conjuration. Leon used a lot of mana, but the creatures also started to tremble while they suffered damage... even though they were creatures that had no proper feelings like fear, they still could react that way upon receiving damage.

...

It didn't take long before Fire Bullet could reach level fifty, Leon used a lot of mana, after all. Despite that, some elementals were resisting and didn't die... they were all Fire Elemental, as expected. Leon already imagined something like that would happen, so he fired Ice Bullets toward them at the same time he was slowly consuming the mithril around his body.

Most of the Ice Bullets started to melt even before it hit the Fire Elementals' body, but little by little, the water was decreasing the hear they could emit. At the same time, Leon's spell was getting stronger and more resilient. Still... only those weren't enough to kill such monsters, much less a group of them.

"It is time to bring the big guns..."

Leon fired several Spinning Ice Arrows, the power of those were still low, but they did the job and stopped the fire elementals before they could get too close. Regardless, Leon had to use the equivalent of the double of his mana pool to defeat a small group of fifteen elementals... that was troublesome. Still, since Leon's goal was to level up skills and obtain status, he decided not to overthink it.

As if they had been programmed or something to do that, five minutes later, another group of five fire elementals, five frost elementals, and five thunder elementals headed toward the purple crystal. More and more, it was becoming clear that they weren't monsters... they were magic creatures obeying the will of someone.

"A harvester... one much more powerful than the ones who tried to screw with me."

That was clear because the status of the elementals didn't change no matter what... that being said, Leon was having difficulties imagining how someone could create so many creatures that had that much mana.

"It is probably a mage, and since that is the case, I shouldn't get too far away from the crystal since they can probably feel their minions getting killed."

Since Leon didn't know the logic behind summoning or perhaps monster creation, he wasn't sure. But it made sense that the mana of someone was creating those creatures, Leon didn't have the skill to create golems, even though he was pretty sure that it does exist and it wouldn't require a catalyst to be used.

Leon decided to concentrate in order to act in case something happens, the chances of a mage that was specialized in creating minions approaching him to fight were low, but one can't be too cautious.

Regardless, it looked like things wouldn't go the way Leon wanted. When the fourth group of elementals appeared, they suddenly stopped and vanished. Much to his surprise, a semi-transparent screen of mana appeared in front of Leon. Nothing was being shown on the screen, but then Leon heard a strange voice amidst the sound of static.

"Hello, traveler. I want to talk to you. Can you come to my castle?"
