Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
274 Chapter 273

Before their second visit to the liches dungeon, Leon only had a couple of hundred hundreds of undead Trent branches, but now he has thousands... Keep them stored was a waste of time, so Leon decided to use Mana-Eater and consume those. It wasn't a plan Leon would like to use often, but he could use that skill to tire his opponents out. But to do so, he would have to level up that skill more than a few times. Although Leon could also consume mithril to level up Mana-Eater, it wasn't that efficient, since his mana was used to consume and create the mithril, after all.

After creating the rings, he wanted and several spares, Leon wondered why he didn't obtain a magic item that had the Mental Drain skill. Creating mithril weapons was time-consuming, so he attempted to seal the spirits of the liches in some steel weapons, still, it wasn't enough to obtain the skill through magic items either.

"... Maybe it is because they obtained that skill the moment they formed the pact with the god of death. It isn't a skill that they could only have as long as they work for that thing... even though they don't have any means to cancel the pact."

Considering that the shadowy figure wanted mana, it was probably a skill that decreased the power of magic attacks and converted some of the energy into mana. Either way, it didn't matter since Leon couldn't have it.

Leon wanted to create some items that would increase the magic power of his Magma Spear. So Leon and Darya headed toward the north of the continent and look for Anton. However, he stopped nearby the mechanical spiders' dungeon.

"Let's see if my theory is correct."

Leon attempted to seal the 'spirit' of a mechanical spider inside the Emperor's Katana, and he actually succeeded. Although the growth was small, it was still something. For the time being, Leon was satisfied with the result.

Emperor's Katana (+4)

Grants the user the skills: War Cry Lv 42. Strength + 56, Speed + 56.

Cost: 200 mana

Cooldown time: 600 seconds.

While Leon was busy analyzing the status, he felt some presence approaching. That dungeon was nearby Gurr's village, so it couldn't be helped that Leon and Darya would end up meeting with some of the warriors working under him. However, Leon recognized those who were approaching just by their speed and careless movement.

"Leon..." Darya whispered.

"Relax, I know those guys," Leon said.

A few seconds later, the figures of Hammath and Ava appeared. Although Leon knew that they were approaching, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh when they left the poison mist.

"Leon! Long time no see!" Hammath said, showing a big smile. "It looks like the rumors are true, and you are not traveling alone anymore."

"Hello," Darya forced a smile.

Although Darya saw the warriors living down there a few times, she couldn't help but get nervous every single time she sees them... or perhaps it was because Ava was looking at her without hiding her displeasure.

​ "Hey... are you sure it is a good idea talking to me after what happened last time?" Leon asked.

"Don't worry, grandfather isn't the type of person who holds grudges," Hammath said.

"He certainly looks the type who actually hold grudges..." Leon frowned. "Well, it has been a long time indeed. We can talk if you want, but it would be preferable if Ava doesn't emit so much bloodlust."

"Sorry, she is prone to act like that, but the recent attacks of the people above worsened her mood even more than usual," Hammath explained.

"Although Anton sent some of his warriors to help other villages..." Leon said.

"He did, but every warrior has their pride in protecting their own homes..." Hammath explained. "Receiving help from others even if they are friends isn't something we like to rely too much on upon."

"That looks like the type of thing your grandfather would teach others..." Leon said. "Anyway, I have some weapons that can help you in that regard. If you give me the information I want, I will give you those."

Steel Knife VI

It grants you the skill, Sting Lv 20, Blood Sucker Lv 10. Dexterity + 30, Speed + 25.

Steel Spear VI

It grants you the skill, Sting Lv 20, Blood Sucker Lv 10. Strength + 30, Speed + 25.

"... What kind of information you want?" Hammath turned pale after seeing the skills of those weapons.

"I want to replace fire-type monsters and earth-type monsters stronger than the elemental golems," Leon answered.

"Fire and earth monsters..." Hammath rubbed his chin and thought for a few seconds. "... There is a certain dungeon that you can replace monsters that can use fire and earth magic. But... isn't a place I would recommend to go... much less accompanied by a woman."

"A goblins dungeon..." Leon frowned.

"That is right." Hammath nodded.
