Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

The next few days passed rather anticlimactically. According to Ilyana, Japan, Australia, Hector, and Gisela's camp didn't do anything unusual. They only made more use of dungeons that led to planets that were still on the third stage of assimilation. It was kind of surprising, but Japan and Australia didn't notice about time dilation because they didn't have those dungeons in their territories.

Although Hector and Gisela were making their soldiers go rather frequently to such places, they weren't slacking off in the construction of their new base. They knew that time wasn't something they could afford to waste, but they couldn't just live in non-walled cities now that monsters that could quickly melt steel or destroy it with their magic attacks were roaming all over Earth.

"Thanks for the help, Volt," Leon said. "You can rest now."

"Understood," Volt nodded. "You can always call me when you wish to learn more spells, Leon."

Leon felt weird because he was starting to treat his spirits like Pokémons, but he was pretty sure that everything would be fine unless he starts to give them commands like 'use scratch.' Regardless, Leon beginning to get tired of his routine, he felt like challenging a dungeon. However, he soon gave up on the idea because challenging a dungeon that would prove itself to be a challenge would literally be a waste of time. While Leon would hunt down a few thousand tier four monsters in a few hours, he could have trained for days in Ilyana's world. Having such a downside, Leon didn't feel compelled to escape from his routine.

"I just have to hang in there. I'm sure that things will become more interesting once I learn how to summon golems. I just hope that Farming and Alchemy will still level up... even though I intend to outsource all the work. "

Since Leon knew that the spirits wouldn't be able to teach him spells that consumed small amounts of mana, he decided to level up the ones that he had and were still at low-levels. Despite that, Leon felt that he wasn't progressing fast enough. Ten days have passed since the time Leon made some calculations, he thought that he would learn how to create a golem that day, but Leon obtained only seventy percent of the status points he thought he would obtain.

"This is bad... even though I'm constantly learning new spells. I'm not progressing all that much. Wait a minute... I can use that."

Leon wondered how he forgot such a thing... it was an excellent way to level up some skills he had forgotten until now. Leon headed toward his slimes that were attacking without causing a single scratch the Ghost-Swords and then used Cheer.

He had to move quite a lot to buff all his slimes, but since the effects of the skill didn't last long, Leon soon could use them on the same group of slimes again. After a few hours, Leon also decided to level up Hateful Gaze. He didn't even have to move to level up that skill. Since Ilyana's monsters were frequently leaving her castle, he just had to stand near one of the entrances, and he would be able to use the debuff on many creatures.

"After the next training session, I should ask her about some buffs and debuffs... Ilyana probably knows the better and easy ones to learn. Regardless, I'm also running out of ideas for spells. So, I guess I will buy some tomes... I have to make a habit of this since coins are pretty much useless for me now."

"Why are you so stingy?" Celsius said, and Leon imagined her frowning. "You don't use those coins for anything, why don't spend all of them already?"

"Although I don't use coins that frequently, I like to the number high, I guess..." Leon scratched the back of his head.

"You are so weird..." Celsius said.

" I can't deny that..." Leon shrugged.

It couldn't be helped that it became a habit for Leon to see and enjoy his coins growing in number. Although he couldn't see them, those increased every day while he was on that island for four years. But now that Leon thought about it, perhaps spending them would increase the speed that he obtain status quite a bit. Even though those skills couldn't be used frequently, Leon could ignore the cooldown time by using Multi-Conjuration, and since that passive skill would always be useful, it was an excellent time to make use of it.
