Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path -
195 Chapter 194
Now that Leon saw that figure, he was finally sure that something was happening behind the curtains. Possibly, that figure was the one who gave him the Summon Zombie tome, but why? That person just told him that he didn't have time to relax, and yet it gave him a powerful skill that would make everyone become lazy…
"That doesn't make any sense… what the hell is going on?"
If worrying about monsters, aliens, and making allies wasn't enough, now Leon had to consider those weird events. Due to the circumstances, Leon didn't want to believe in that person, but it was obvious that he couldn't relax. He tried to sleep while keeping Mana Dominion and Mana Armor activated, but that person still managed to talk to him in his mind. That meant that Mana Armor couldn't protect Leon from mental attacks.
"Tch… I can never catch a breath."
It looked like Leon was destined never to have a day off ever again… Regardless, he had to return home to calm his friends down. Leon acted without thinking, but thanks to that, he found that figure. However, now he had to explain his behavior to them. Fortunately, when he returned, Amanda hadn't returned, so he had time to explain that before his little sister could worry about him.
"What was that, Leon?" Betty frowned. "You acted like you had found your arch-enemy or something."
"Sorry, I thought I had seen a monster that I had eaten on the island." Leon forced a smile. "The meat was very good, but I guess I only dreamt that I had seen the monsters."
"You acted like that because of food?" Betty frowned again. "What kind of idiot are you?"
"Well, I can understand the master's feeling," Gisela said. "Dragon's heart isn't bad, but eating every day is a little too much."
"If you are that eager to eat something different, you can always tell that to Sarah or Yuki," Sasha said. "They keep contact with many important figures, and most of them want to gain your favor."
"Nah, I'm fine," Leon said. "I just acted like that because I was half-asleep. I guess working underground tired me out more than I imagined… So, I will practice outdoors until dinner. See you later."
Without giving them the chance to say anything, Leon left Las Vegas and went to the nearby dungeon. It was the place where he captured the desert wolves, and now it would be the place where he wouldn't think of their well-being all that much. He would only stop once he creates a magic item that protects his mind from all kinds of spells and skills.
Some of Hector's subordinates were guarding the dungeons, but they didn't stop Leon when he said he would enter the dungeon alone. He was a famous figure in Las Vegas, so everyone was fully aware that he could clear such a dungeon easily. Leon knocked down the desert wolves that tried to attack him. To increase his practice speed, he used both hands, and this time he ignored the monsters' cries of pain. Until now, Leon had some room even to afford to consider the pain he was causing to the monsters, but now he did not. He would do anything to avoid seeing any unpleasant nightmares like that again, and he also would do anything to prevent that nightmare from actually happening.
Much faster than Leon expected, Leon learned Seal two days later. It was obvious that now that he had lost his hesitation helped him a lot. Anyway, the cost and the time he had to wait between uses was the same. Also, just as Leon had expected, the level of the skill influenced in the effects an item would have once Leon Seal, the spirit in the object. By the way, Leon couldn't see his mana, but once he managed to take a seal out of a monster's body, he could see a weird smoke flying over his hand. That was the monster's soul. When Leon infused the soul into a ring, he had prepared beforehand, that was a result.
Steel Ring (Earth)
It increases the power of earth-related attacks by one percent.
"Oh boy… it's worse than I thought it would be."
Maybe it could be sold, but Leon decided to train Mana-Eater and dispel the effects, by doing so, he would be able to train Seal and that skill at the same time. Leon tried to suck the soul of several desert wolves that he had killed, but as expected, it didn't work. Regardless, Leon decided to train that skill and see how the effects would change in different types of weapons.
As it turned out, the desert wolves' soul really showed different results in different pieces of equipment. When Leon used sharp weapons like swords and spears, the effect was increased damage to monsters that use wind magic. However, sometimes the effect was some extra bonus stats in endurance and stamina.
When Leon tested on a shield, the opposite happened; more times, the effect was an increase in status, and fewer times, it granted bonus in defense against wind magic.
"Still… the effects are too damn low. Maybe if I try to steal the soul of a boss, the spell will level up faster, and the effects will be better."
Leon was right, the effects were better, but he had a hard time defeating the boss without killing it. Anyway, like the boss, he faced before, that one used wind and earth magic. So, the effects were related to that, increasing of attack power when it was used on a weapon and in defense when it was used on protective equipment. Much to Leon's surprise, he managed to create a weapon that granted the skill Sandstorm Lv 10 in one of his experiments.
