While Leon was looking for inspiration, for powerful abilities, he learned a few more interesting spells. Although the primary use of that kind of shield was to nullify elemental attacks, they could be used offensively as well. Rather, not using them offensively was a waste of mana.

"I wonder if there are some other spells that I can use at the same time and learn the combined version of those spells," Leon rubbed his chin. " I guess the most obvious choices are the zones skills and the spells that increase my status."

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Absolute Enhanced Zone.

"As I had expected, the cost of mana is a lot higher than all the basic skills combined," Leon said. "Still, that is a bit troublesome."

In any case, it will take a long while before Leon has the power to keep such skill active for so long. Although the cost to keep his status bonus would also have a similar cost, Leon decided to do it anyway because there is always a chance that he might forget to do that later.

"Mmm... I guess it would be too weird if this type of skill had several levels," Leon said.

Unfortunately, Leon only learned that when he used all of the highest tiers of spells that increased his status. Still, given that spell alone could increase his status by ten points per level, it was more than satisfactory.

"I guess what really would solve all my problems was replaceing a skill that increases my recovery like Mana Sacrifice," Leon nodded to himself. "Still, while it is logical that endurance and strength can be increased by doing physical activities, I can't imagine what kind of action could increase my recovery."

Leon already had one hundred and ten years of experience using magic. He already knew what he had to do to increase all his status with the exception of luck and recovery. Considering that, imagining himself discovering that kind of thing was becoming harder and harder. Still, also while considering that he would stay for thousands of years in that imaginary space, it was a bit early to give up on that.

"Draining energy is relatively easy," Leon said to himself. "Now, draining attributes will be much more difficult. While I can decrease the status of an enemy, it isn't the same thing. Still, that kind of power seems really appealing. Even if it is only temporary, the ability to drain the enemies' statues would be stupidly useful."

Although Leon was progressing quite well, he decided to relax a little bit, and by relaxing, he decided to train all his skills up to level three hundred and fifty. Since he couldn't think of any special ability that would be stupidly powerful, that was the only way to decrease the weight in his mind.

"I just hope this will be enough to refresh my mind," Leon said to himself.

It didn't take long for Leon to regret that idea, since he couldn't use his mana to summon his cold and explosive cores anymore, the zombies began to climb the tower using the bodies of other zombies.

Leon easily could solve that problem by using the spells that were already at the max level, but that would be a waste. Although the zombies didn't grant him a single coin, they were as strong as angels, after all. Besides, unless Leon annihilates their bodies completely, the corpses would only help the next zombies.

"Using Sunlight Nova will solve the problem, but..." Leon hesitated a little bit. "I suppose it can't be helped."

The pile of corpses that was almost one kilometer high evaporated when Leon used Sunlight Nova. Fortunately, he didn't have to use that skill for more than a few seconds... the ashes of the zombies flew toward the horizon after just a few seconds.

"I forgot about it... but since my intelligence increased, the power of Sunlight Nova increased as well," Leon scratched the back of his head. "Still, it is a bit weird that I'm using such powerful skill just to clean the island..."

Putting such small worries aside, Leon focused on the task at hand. Thanks to the fact that his next goal was now clear, time passed really fast. In no time, the fifth year of the battle against the zombies started, and it ended there as expected. Although time was passing fast for many reasons, Leon wasn't progressing all that much. After four years, he had only leveled up twenty percent of his skills to the level three hundred fifty. At that rate, it would take decades before Leon could reach his next goal, and in the end, the zombie horde lasted for twenty-five years, and Leon was still on his task of leveling up his skills.
