During those two years where he leveled up his skills up to level two hundred, Leon also recalled that some spells had some variations that he didn't learn. So, Leon decided to learn those variations as well.

By combining wind and Poison Generation, Leon created Poison Tornado. After that, instead of creating mud, he created Poison Fountain by mixing poison and earth. It was a bit surprising that poison was so versatile. Unfortunately, it would never become part of Leon's true arsenal since it could be countered by Poison Resistance and spells like Purification. Regardless, soon Leon would be preoccupied with something else because it was time for a new monster to appear.

The new monster was surprising in many ways. The mutant mantis was precisely that, an oversized mantis that instead of arms has two very sharp looking blades. It was even more surprising that the creature had a spell and could even use Haste. Unfortunately, even though the monster's arms looked like blades of swords, it always lost its edge when the creature died.
"I suppose those parts could still be used, but it would be a waste of time considering that I can create mithril," Leon said. "Although it is only a single spell, I should be happy that I can learn something that isn't in Ilyana's list."
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Heat Bubble.
Cost: 20 mana
You obtained 01 status points.
There was a trick to learn such a spell. Although it wasn't powerful, it combined the power of water, fire, and wind, after all. The trick was relatively simple. The bubble just had to have a cold layer of air between the water and hot air... it was so stupid that Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Regardless, Leon obtained two hundred status points in no time since the cost was low.

Regardless, even though it would be more convenient if Leon buys some tomes, he decided to save his coins in order to learn Omnigualism. With that kind of power, he would be able to learn skills and spells from all kinds of monsters and possibly from objects. It was evident that he wouldn't be able to take anything he obtains in that dimension, even from Ilyana's vault to the reality, but he could learn some useful skills.
"Objects don't talk, but I will learn how to communicated with them by touching them... hopefully," Leon said.
It would take several years, perhaps even decades, before Leon obtains enough coins to buy the tome, but at least he would find a new way to learn new spells and save some other coins in the future.
Although there wasn't much to do in that dimension, Leon was already used to it. In less than a year, he made Mana Magnetism reach the max level, and thanks to it, he learned that that space exactly dimensions. The dimension created by Sekundez has the exact range of Mana Magnetism had at the max level, five kilometers tall, long and large.

Leon also learned a few other tricks thanks to monsters, but in the end, he even decided to learn Bite. Even though he had no intention of fighting using his teeth, it wasn't uncommon for Leon to second guess himself, but he felt that the more time he spent in that place, the less control he had over his inhibitions. Although that was good on one side since that would grant him the chance to learn many more things using mana, it was also bad because that increased the chances of him becoming a different person.
Leon was growing old. Despite the fact that he felt full of energy like usual, he felt the weight of age. His memories were getting fuzzy by the day, even though some events were hard to forget, less and less details he could recall with precision. Although that was the natural process of things, Leon didn't want to forget anything. He didn't want to forget why he decided to accept that nightmarish trial without a second thought. He was doing that for his family, for his friends, and for his world... Unfortunately, little by little, the power of his will was getting weaker, and now he could clearly understand why most people in Hector's camp lost their edge.
