Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

"Now, this has returned to its rightful owner..." Leon said while he was flying and touching the gigantic mithril helm.

"You think you can defeat me by doing that?" Ivolaer frowned. "For an insect, you sure are arrogant."

"Who needed the help of the insect to return to this planet?" Leon frowned. "Who asked for the help of an insect to obtain better weapons and equipment?"

Instead of answering, Ivolaer swung his sword and shot a Thunder Blade at Leon, but he used Transfer and escaped.

"No answer, huh?" Leon looked away, bored. "Figures..."

Congratulations! The skill Mana-Eater has leveled up.

At that moment, Leon was controlling three objects with his Telekinesis. The massive spear he took back from Jorhorn, the helmet he retrieved from Ivolaer and his damaged shield, which he was using to recover his mana. The colossal mithril helmet would work better than three of his shields, it wasn't appropriate for that, but it would work.

Regardless, Leon would take Ivolaer's mithril equipment one piece at a time in order to increase the damage he could cause. However, it was quite unpleasant doing that in front of someone who was there just to observe the fight and learn more about Leon could do. He could attack it once or twice, causing a lot of damage without letting Adellum know what he did, but it wouldn't work forever. Just changing his position a bit would be enough for that.

"I guess I don't have enough time to take all his equipment..."

It was risky, but Leon had to finish Ivolaer quickly in order not to reveal much information about himself. If he could use Transfer and move to the back of Ivolaer's head and then create a Plasma Lance or something, he was confident he could kill him in a single strike, but he didn't have enough mana or time for that.

Ivolaer didn't have the intention of letting Leon create a strategy to deal with him. So, he kept shooting thunder attacks toward Leon. It wasn't his specialty, but Ivolaer wanted to finish that problem without getting closer to Leon. He didn't know how, but Leon killed one of the angel generals, and Malahk alone was the angel who defeated the seven harvesters alone.

"I can't let that guy see Plasma Bullet... it is my only weapon that can damage them. My only choice is to defeat Ivolaer slowly..."

Instead of using Transfer, Leon decided to fly around Ivolaer and attack him using Thunder Ray and Ice Beam. Although he had Thunder Absorbtion, it wasn't at a level where he could absorb all the power of Thunder Ray and combining Ice Beam with that, Ivolaer started to feel annoyed since the ice around his body was quickly getting thicker. However, once Ivolaer activated Electric Aura again, the damage Leon was caused decreased.

"Tsk... I guess this won't work..."

Leon had another option to finish things quickly. However, to succeed in that, he would need to get rid of more pieces of Ivolaer's armor. Unfortunately, the breastplate wouldn't be easy to steal. If Leon had made the armor while thinking of that, the harvesters would have noticed his intentions.

"I can use that, too..."

After Leon made his choice, Ivolaer suddenly charged forward. His speed was fearsome, but Leon slowed him down using the colossal mithril spear before he used Transfer and reappeared behind Ivolaer's head with Malahk's sword on his hand.

"Ugh!" Ivolaer moaned after getting hit by behind.

Despite the protection of Electric Aura, Ivolaer suffered a lot of damage, and his head started to bleed. Not only that, he got caught by surprise, lost his balance, and the colossal mithril spear managed to overcome his sword and hit Ivolaer's shoulder piercing the skin a little.

Ivolaer's charge only stopped two kilometers away from there, but despite the wounds, he was smiling, because he now had the colossal mithril spear on his hand. After returning, Ivolaer smirked.

"Now, you won't be able to stop me anymore," Ivolaer declared.

"I wonder if things are simple as just as you are assuming..." Leon frowned.

Leon showed Malahk's sword and also equipped the spear he created using his spirit. Without a hint of hesitation, he used Sword of Light and Spear of Light. Surprisingly, the projectiles made of light were more powerful and faster than the angels could use. Ivolaer got caught by surprise, suffered another wound on his shoulder, but the other he blocked... even though he was pushed back a few meters.

"... Maybe I should have kept this as a secret... it is more powerful than my Plasma Bullets."

Although it was a spell, Leon thought that intelligence didn't affect all that much the power behind it. The angels didn't use many spells, after all. Although one of the generals had a magic wand, they couldn't be called a race of mages.

"I will definitely learn this eventually..." Leon declared.

"Hahahaha," Adellum laughed. "You won't be able to learn it... unless you find the spirit of light."

"How can you be so sure?" Leon asked.

"Spells of the light and shadow attribute can't be learned, only taught by their respective spirits," Adellum shrugged. "Only beings like spirits can understand the logic behind those attributes, after all."

Leon couldn't help but frown... if that was the case, then Plasma Bullet wasn't just a lower-level type of light-magic... it was just a combination of the other elements. If teleportation were shadow-type magic, then Leon would never find a tome being sold at the dungeon shop... that left him speechless.
