Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After a while, Leon finally noticed that now that he could drain all the mana that monster could recover, he could use Appraisal on it. So, he didn't waste time after consuming all the mana of the creature once again.

"What the hell..."

Leon knew that he was inside of an apex predator like no other, but he didn't expect to see such crazy status and skills. Still, by the look of things, he only damaged ten percent of the monster's health... it took him one month to damage only to that extent such a beast. At that rate, Leon would only kill it after almost one year.

"You have got to be kidding me..."

Everything even the name of the monster was ridiculous, Leon's life was absurd... ten years ago he only worried about bills and grades and now he had to worry about a Galactic Snake... a snake that probably traveled between galaxies. If that wasn't insanity, Leon didn't know what it was.

"Yeah, I know... no need to tell me."

Leon didn't have time to worry about such insanity, so he just kept increasing the size of the mithril spear. Regardless, after analyzing the beast, Leon managed to discover that the thing had to rest for six hours before it could restore all its mana. He used that to organize the time he would use to rest. That being said, it looked like Leon couldn't increase the speed of his progress, it was only obvious, but even the mana of that hellish creature had a limit.

"What can I do to speed up this process?"

Leon had some ideas, but first, he had some tests to make. First, he tried to move the mithril spear upward using a large steel platform. That would help him save a lot of mana, but that would only be possible if the steel can endure the small moments where the flesh could transmit its heat. If the flesh couldn't damage or melt the steel, then it would work.

The test had been a success, even though recovery could also repair damaged flesh, it wasn't powerful enough to break or ignore the steel. That made sense and Leon experienced something similar, when he woke up on the island, recovery didn't work while his bones were damaged and out of their respective places.

Leon decreased by half the amount of time he needed to pierce a layer of that thing's body. However, another problem appeared. The weapon was getting too heavy that the steel base was getting crushed by the weapon's weight.

"Hehe, I know how to solve this..."

Leon created another tip for the spear, the second one would be pointed downward, and even without Leon's help, it started to pierce the creature's flesh, all thanks to the massive weight of the weapon. It was a pity now that the spear he was making had some steel parts, but it couldn't be helped. Everything was to save time.

"ACHOOOOOO! Holy shit... what is this cold now?"

Surprisingly enough, maybe it was because the time the creature could emit heat was decreasing more and more, things started to get really cold. When Leon pierced the next layer of flesh, he got surprised when he saw the magma had become rocks again... that cold was something else, so Leon couldn't help but wonder why the snake was getting so cold.

Regardless, it was a problem Leon didn't have to worry about. Although its health was high, a fire monster getting cold only meant that creature was suffering damage from outside sources, and that was a very beneficial thing for Leon. The problem would be after he kills the beast...

"I just hope this thing is on a planet for the time being... considering there is oxygen here, then perhaps I don't have to worry. But also considering the size, this beast can store a lot of oxygen... Until now, I didn't feel this monster moving. So, the chances of this thing are flying through the space are very high. Still, if that is the case, how come the gravity is still working? So many questions..."

Leon was someone who tends to worry a lot, so thinking about that kind of thing was unavoidable. Regardless, Leon had to prepare for all possible outcomes. So, he decided not to increase the temperature of the ambient and just leave his Ice Resistance leveling up... even though that would make him sneeze non-stop.

Little by little, the creature was dying, Leon endured that test of patience for several months. However, after six months, the snake only had ten percent of its health remaining Leon decided to stop. Most likely, once that thing dies, the shadowy figure would notice. If that happens, Leon would be teleported again... he had one thing to do before he finishes the beast.

"I have to learn a spell to counter Teleportation."
