Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
379 Chapter 378

While Leon was thinking about the next skill he should learn, he remembered about Yuki and couldn't help but wonder how he would face her now that he lost the Emperor's Katana. Fortunately, the chances of her remembering him after two hundred fifty years were pretty small. Besides, to return to Earth, Leon would most likely have to face the shadowy figure. He would die trying to defeat the creature, or at least he would succeed and recover his items... unless the bastard sucked their mana and made them become dust. Regardless, that doubt made Leon think of learning War Cry.

"I'm really an asshole... in the end, instead of worrying about the real problem, I'm wondering if I can learn War Cry now..."

Leon sighed... he could only do that given the situation. In the end, the matter of losing his items became a problem hidden deep in Leon's mind because he started to practice in order to learn War Cry.

"The effects of the skill are like Rage, but the skill is much less powerful, and there were no demerits to the allies. I'm pretty sure the skill would level up faster if I use on several allies, but I'm interested in the variations of such skill."

For the time being, Leon had enough buffs, but learning a few debuffs wouldn't be in any way a hassle. Well, it would be complicated, but it would be very beneficial. The problem was, as always, learning the basics.

"Why I always get sidetracked so easily... my goal was to learn more passive skills, and now I am worrying about learning more buffs and debuffs..."

Despite that, Leon knew that he needed to increase his status like that. Aside from mana, intelligence, and recovery, every other of his stats were on lower levels. Since Leon also made sure not to rely on tools anymore, that kind of spell was vital.

Regardless, since Leon didn't know the logic behind buffs and debuffs aside from Haste and Slow, he decided to practice certain actions of a famous RPG. Since the name of the spirits he had seen so far were the same as the elemental spirits of some games, it was possible that he could learn the skills of the same games. Thus he started to Cheer... as if he was watching a soccer match and cheering for an actual team, but in front of him, he could only see the walls of his hideout. Obviously, Leon was feeling quite silly since he didn't receive any notifications.

"Maybe I should add mana to my voice like when I use Sonic Scream..."

It took quite a while for Leon to learn the said spell. Since he practiced Sonic Scream before, he ended up using the spell every time he emitted mana using his mouth... The right way to do that was to emanate his mana slowly to his surroundings. Eventually, Leon learned the weaker version of War Cry.

"Oh, boy... I really learned."

Leon wondered if his mindset wasn't still stuck to some 'realism.' He now was inside one hell of a massive creature, and he visited several planets, he could fly and create a magic metal... it was kind of late for that, but Leon decided to experiment with many things in order to grow stronger.

"Well... one step at a time... I can't get ahead of myself."

Leon learned Cheer, a skill that raised the strength and speed of himself and any ally close him. At level one, the skill raised his strength by one, and at level two, his strength and speed increased by one, and so on. That was fine, and all, but Leon was more interested in the skills which would increase his intelligence and mentality. That being said, Leon leveled up Cheer until it reached the level fifteen before trying anything else.

Once he did that, Leon tried to learn the other spells, but things didn't go as expected. Most likely because Leon had to do weird things to learn the skills he remembered from games. It was strange to look at an enemy and try at the same time scary them…

"Using mana through my voice is easy… the problem is, how do I do that using just my face? Can I even use my mana to make myself look scarier?"

Leon didn't have the habit of looking at the enemy showing hatred on his face or eyes. However, Leon soon found a way to learn that, but first, he had to do something unpleasant.
