Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

When Leon checked his skill list, he noticed that his summoning skills grew a lot while he was on Earth. That being said, Ilyana's Mud Golems reached level five hundred when his own monsters didn't level up, not even one hundred levels. So, Leon couldn't get ahead of himself.

Since Leon was really looking forward to learning how to build useful things, he decided to train his skills just by keeping his spirits materialized. Now and then, he would have to stop and create some mana liquid, but he felt quite relaxed while doing that in between his study sessions.

"I never thought you were a bookworm," Celsius said.

"It is kind of surprising that humans can read books for so long without getting bored," Sylph said.

"I'm just reading and keeping reading because I have a goal," Leon said, a bit annoyed. "And because I don't understand anything that is written here," Leon said.

In just a single day, Leon read the same archive that had three hundred pages three times, the content was like middle-school level, but since it has been decades since Leon read a book, he forgot nearly everything when he went to school and college. The only things he really could recall were practical knowledge. Still, even if he couldn't understand the content, as long as he can memorize the internal parts of an object and what functions those parts have, he could replicate it... probably. At least that was what Leon was telling himself.

Since Leon didn't want to mess with gunpowder, his first goal was to create a weapon that used high-pressurized water. After that, he would study batteries and solar panels. He knew that he wanted to create some things that only existed in sci-fi stories, but considering that he moves faster than the sound, the sky was the limit.

"It is only obvious, but I should start with baby steps..."

Leon already could create simple things like sunglasses using Transmute, but since he wasn't someone who wasn't good at understanding or explaining the theory of things, even about the magic that was more or less his specialty. Leon decided to start trying to create some simple but 'practical' things. Instead of jumping ahead and trying to create a gun that could shot massive amounts of water, he went with basic and created a water gun... a toy. It was mostly made of plastic, but since its 'mechanisms' were pretty simple, he succeeded in creating it.

"What the heck is that?" Celsius asked. "A toy?"

"No... this is a small step for me and a giant leap for no else," Leon said and pulled the trigger, making some water fly a few meters in front of him. "Anyway, it does work. Now, I just have to make some adjustments, change the materials, add some things, and then eventually, I will create a railgun myself."

"No one needs to pay to have dreams, even the most stupid ones," Celsius said.

Although Leon was still in the early stages of his experiments, he already could imagine himself creating a gun that used mithril bullets, and those mithril bullets would become some element when the trigger were pulled. It would be really convenient if all humans could use a Flamethrower or Water Cannon just like that... even though it would be more convenient to create a gun using mithril and seal the spirit of a monster that has such skill within.

"I can't think that way... this is just to make me relax and to use my mana in unexpected ways."

It couldn't be helped that Leon would even take a hobby seriously like that. The only thing he did in the past fourteen years was to take everything seriously, after all.

Although Leon couldn't understand all that much the contents of the archives he read, his memorization capacity seemed to have improved quite a bit. After observing the image of the interior design of a handgun, he managed to replicate and even adapt. Instead of using gunpowder, he created a paintball like a gun, the design was lacking, but he could store bullets made of earth and make them fly for fifty meters before losing speed and altitude.

"This isn't so bad..." Leon said to himself. "At this rate, I'm pretty sure that I will be able to create something useful soon enough."

"You shouldn't waste time mixing magic and technology," Ilyana said, using Telepathy.

Leon's heart almost stopped since he didn't expect to hear Ilyana. After he calmed down, he decided to ask why she seemed so upset. Leon could only pray that she wasn't mad about the previous joke.

"If you create weapons using mana, it is fine, but ordinary weapons that also use mana won't last long," Ilyana explained. "Although mana is a type of energy clean and its use is very friendly, the metals that can withstand their use for a few months are rare."
