Even though that son of a bitch was unconscious, he was still someone who fought and lived for thousands of years. His natural defenses were also quite powerful, so Leon had to work for quite a while, absorbing the memories he wanted while he erased others.

The first time Leon heard about that kind of power, he had decided that he would never use it since it was disgusting to erase the memories of someone. However, after living for so long, he finally found things that he couldn't forgive… things that would make him gladly use disgusting spells in order to torment his enemies.

"Now that Shadow became less annoying, you are assuming his role as the emo kid of this group?" Celsius asked.

"No,… please just overlook the fact that I'm letting my darkest instincts run rampage right now," Leon replied.

"Well, it is only understandable that you want to do what you are doing," Celsius shrugged. "Just try not to feel too excited about it."

In the end, to save even more time, Leon decided to make a replica do that work for him. He could feel his real body running out of mana, so he had to return. After leaving Efreet, Gnome, and Sylph behind to watch over his replica, Leon returned to reality and confirmed that the darkness didn't dissipate.

"Shadow, absorb all the darkness you can while you guide me to the place that has the largest concentrations of mana in this world," Leon said.

"Yes, Master," Shadow nodded.

That master bullshit was getting on Leon's nerves, but since it was less tiring than dealing with the little old shadow, he decided to overlook that. Just as he had expected, even though he couldn't see, eventually, Leon could feel himself approaching to a large concentration of mithril. The mithril was powering that darkness, so it was better to cut that link off in order to use that mana to make his other spirits evolve.

Leon thought Shadow would protest when he ordered to replace and destroy the connection between the darkness and mithril, but he didn't. He obeyed without hesitation,… it looked like his sudden change of behavior wasn't just an act.

Regardless, Leon frowned when he saw a mountain of mithril in front of him and thousands of cables connected to that mountain and heading to all directions.

"It looks like he wasn't just using magic…" Leon rubbed his chin. "I also wanted to try to combine technology and magic, but I didn't have enough time to do that."

Fortunately, those cables were complex, but their use was relatively simple. So, Leon would be able to use the mithril without wasting any of it. He also would save some time since those cables could transmit one million mana points per second if necessary.

"Well, before starting this, I have to see how things are on the other side," Leon said to himself.

Although Leon only found a few individuals that could use Shadow's power, that bastard sure took his sweet time to level up Darkness Absorption. In any case, Leon felt thankful for his battle experience. However, things didn't end there when he absorbed part of the mind of that guy without leaving anything behind.

"Oh, boy’’ my list of fearsome skills keeps increasing," Leon frowned.

Although the skill he could absorb was limited by the level of Skill Absorption, Leon now could absorb abilities from his enemies. Since the memories and experience of them using those skills would go to Leon too, he also would obtain status points. However, he could only use on unconscious enemies.

Most likely, the shadowy bastard had planned to do something similar to him, but lost in the end, and now Leon will absorb his memories until he becomes an empty shell. Things were so serious in Leon's mind that he didn't even want to use Appraisal to learn that guy's name. Calling him shadowy bastard was more than enough.

Once Leon returned to reality, he summoned Celsius, Undine, Volt, and Rem began to transfer some of the mana to them. He also wanted to do the same for Sekundez, but first, she had to reach the level max, and that was why he left her in the mindscape.

"It looks like you won," Ilyana suddenly said, using Telepathy. "Good job."

"How are things on Earth?" Leon asked.

"Same as usual, the humans were fighting the dragons, and no other enemy is around to bother us," Ilyana replied. "If anything, some humans were looking suspiciously at your friends because they suddenly got strong thanks to the power of the spirits."

"Eventually, I will give the same power to them… once I have time," Leon said. "Anyway, why don't you use Teleport and grab some of this mithril? I guess half of this will be enough to pay all the favors I owe you."

"Just use it to grow stronger as fast as you can," Ilyana said. "I'm pretty sure you know that saying about the calm before the storm… right now, we are enjoying the calm, but soon new harvesters will come… and you lost a lot of time dealing with one of their small fries."
