Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
475 Chapter 473

Since the mechanical spiders granted Leon fifty coins, each and Ilyana could create twenty-five thousand of them. He decided to spend the coins he obtained over the course of that week. Leon also made a mental note of to make that a daily task... but considering that he had planned to spend his coins every day to buy at least one tome and failed, he wasn't expecting much of that mental note too.

Since Leon was facing several mechanical at the same time, it was the best moment to level up his Area of Effect spells. So, he decided to buy some of them and use them against Ilyana monsters. He also learned the thunder version of the spell Efreet taught him, even though it wasn't exactly a safe skill to use since he had to touch the enemy and even receive some of the shocks, it was the perfect way to immobilize the careless enemies that may approach.

"More than a few days must have passed on Earth... I wonder how everyone is."

Someone once said that no news is good news, but Leon couldn't help but worry about his friends. It couldn't be helped since Amanda, Maya, and his friends were the sole reason for him to struggle so much and return to Earth after so many years. Regardless, even though Leon had been warned to leave them be, he still wanted to help them a little more.

"Those monsters are weak, and since I can defeat them fast, my concentration is wavering."

Leon still could improve on the patience department, but it looked like it would take a long time before he becomes a patient person. He was already thirty-five years old, but he still a single day older than twenty. Several life and death situations didn't change that, so only a lot of time would make him feel older and wiser.

"It won't be fast to level up my skills past level fifty against the mechanical spiders... it will take a few months, but I guess my best option is to learn new spells and train them up to that level."

The only problem was that he couldn't stop from destroying the mechanical spiders. So, Leon's only option was to buy more tomes. Leon wanted to learn things the harder way in order to get rid of the demerits that he would have to deal with by using tomes like the cooldown time... but it couldn't be helped.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Fire Rush.

"Woah... it is worse than I imagined." Leon frowned. " The cost, duration, and cooldown time of the skills are terrible."

"You could have obtained those spells by using my tomes," Ilyana said via Telepathy. "I don't understand why do you spend coins when you can have them for free."

"It is the force of the habit..." Leon said. "Do you have those skills at the max level?"

"Of course," Ilyana said.

"Well... I have to feel that I deserved those skills," Leon said. "That feeling is small even by buying the tomes since I'm used to learning spells the hard way. So, I guess this much is fine."

Despite the demerits, those skills were pretty useful. The damage caused by the thunder that enveloped Leon's body was amplified by his intelligence, Wind Transformation, Wind Creation, Electromancy, and Thunder Blessing, after all. So, he could destroy the mechanical spiders just by staying nearby them for a few seconds, and the same thing applied to Fire Rush. In that meantime, he could use Mana Absorption. So, it wasn't all that bad.

"Focusing on learning new spells in order to have the means to escape all kinds of troublesome situations is good and all," Ilyana said. "But it is time for you to learn some physical skills as well. Although the effectivity of those skills will decrease given your status, it is necessary nonetheless."

"I guess you are right..." Leon sighed.

Although those were some cool moves, Leon would have a hard time leveling up them since they could be used alongside Multi-Conjuration or Fast Conjuration. Ghost Punch was the skill that Leon concentrated some stamina on his hand and then make it fly toward the enemy. Beast Aura was an improved version of it. Leon had to focus stamina around his arms and then move them toward the enemy to fire a wave of energy that had the shape of a wolf toward the target. Triple Crescent Kicks was the coolest skill of them all, as its name says, Leon could kick the opponent's head or whatever he tries to use to block the attack three times... the skill was so powerful that Leon could even move a few meters upward without even using magic!

However, since Leon's body wasn't used to that kind of skill... he started to feel some muscle aches after using them just a few times.
