Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

In the end, the difference between monsters wasn't just on the level and status. Leon couldn't see the monster's levels using Appraisal, but if he could, it would only show strong they were in comparison to how strong they could be. A level one hundred smiles were much weaker than a level one hundred magma golem, after all.

"I guess it can't be helped," Leon analyzed the status of the magma golem. "Although the level max slimes overall status is higher, magma golems at level one has more health, mana, and stamina."

As if watching bees, bats, and goblins coming out of the sea wasn't weird enough. Some big ass wolves started to appear in order to say hi. Regardless, Leon discovered a few new skills thanks to those big and gray wolves. Despite looking vicious, they didn't last long against the few magma golems Leon had time to create.

"Learning Bite and Steel Claws are out of the question... I don't want to attack using my teeth and nails. That would be insane," Leon said while he analyzed the wolf status. "Bloody Fury... It probably isn't an interesting or useful skill since I didn't see in any dungeon shop or Ilyana's vault."

After Leon created the hundredth magma golem, Leon decided to create the mithril statue of the bloody bat before he forgets it. Meanwhile, he studied the wolves and finally understood how Bloody Fury worked. Basically, the more wounded one is, the stronger one can get by activating that skill. Unfortunately, it only increased strength by a percentage, so it wouldn't be that useful for Leon. Still, he decided to try and learn it. It was pretty simple. Actually, he just didn't have to control his anger when he gets wounded.

It took Leon a few weeks before he could fill the entire island with magma golems, but considering how much mana was needed to summon one, it couldn't be helped. Besides, considering that it was a monster that only appeared in worlds that were on the second stage of assimilation, it was only obvious that a lot of mana had to be used to create them.

"Ouch... even though they aren't that strong yet, their attacks can be quite painful," Leon said to himself after testing their power and being attacked by thousands of magma golems at the same time. " I guess I will use them for training my resistances, but I won't give them my mana all that frequently. While summoning monsters are useful, the cost to summon them is too high, and there is a limit of how many inorganic monsters I can summon... It will be a pain if level them up too fast and doesn't have enough coins to buy the tomes necessary."

It didn't take long for some magma golems started to die from the hands of the wolves. They were leveling up faster than the magma golems, after all. Regardless, Leon resumed his physical training. Although it was a bit reckless, he decided to continue combining physical attacks and magical attacks with something he always wanted to try at least once, but he never had the chance to do it in real life... drop-kicks.

As expected, Leon had a hard time replicating that kind of attack because his body would become entirely vulnerable to counter attacks. Still, even though he didn't receive any notifications when he used that kind of move alone, he did it when he used magic.

"Yep, I will never use this kind of attack in a real battle," Leon said while he got and cleaned his body from the sand beach. "Even though I can protect myself using Mana Armor, I would be wide open to receive the most powerful counter-attacks. Besides, I'm a mage... I have the advantage while I stay away from my enemies."

Although Leon said that, he practiced the skill over and over again. He wanted the status points, but even though it would be dangerous to use in a real battle, it was fun to use outside of it. It became clear only recently for Leon, but time passed much faster while he was moving his body being running or just practicing his physical skills.

"Well, I guess it is time to learn new spells," Leon said after leveling up his physical skills for several weeks straight. "... I forgot to think of new spells, so I will have to buy the tomes from Ilyana's vault... I should also start to create the wolf's mithril statue before I forget this too."
