Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
643 Chapter 641

"Food really is a powerful drug…" Leon said while he was chewing a huge chunk of dragon's leg. "I can barely feel that headache."

In the end, Leon could increase the scope of Mana Magnetism quite easily while he was doing everything else. Although it wasn't as good as a potion, eating monsters' meat also was could recover his energy and even heal his wounds. Thanks to that, Leon got carried away, killed three dragons, and brought them to Ilyana's world.

"It looks like you are trying to fool yourself again," Ilyana said, via telepathy. "Eating dragons won't solve the problem caused by Mana Magnetism and won't slow down the effects of Temporal Variation."

As usual, Ilyana was fast to understand and see the changes in Leon's body. That being, she was quite lenient, considering that both skills would lead Leon to an early grave.

"Oh, well… I guess she is tired of complaining all that much," Leon shrugged.

"Or perhaps she knows that you are a lost cause," Celsius said.

"I think that is highly possible…" Leon closed his arms and nodded. "Anyway, you aren't talking all that much recently."

"Are you saying that I talked too much in the past?" Celsius frowned.

"No… I'm saying that you are too quiet," Leon scratched the back of his head. "Is that because I didn't spend half an hour praising you and Undine? If that is the case, I'm sorry. My social skills have grown rusty."

Maybe it was time for Leon to ask to be taught some new spells by his spirits, but everyone except for Rem and Shadow looked weirder than usual. Sekundez was always like that, so it couldn't be helped. In the end, Leon decided to wait for a while and just assimilate the knowledge his replica was obtaining.

"That shadowy bastard had more or less eight hundred thousand points in mana," Leon said to himself while thinking about the things he could really do at the moment. "To summon a mechanical dragon, almost the double of that amount is needed. Most likely, even more, it will be necessary to summon a dragon… So, at the very least, the woman who summoned the dragons that destroyed Earth nine hundred years ago had two million points in mana."

That was the best scenario, but it wasn't that good since Leon had seven times less mana than the most terrifying enemy he knew of. Regardless, if Leon uses Mana Magnetism and nothing else, without even increasing its scope, he would be able to increase his mana by one point every three minutes. That wasn't so bad, but considering the status, he was obtaining just by absorbing the mind of that guy, it wasn't that good.

"In the end, just having enough mana isn't enough… but at least that determines how much mana one can use per second," Leon said.

It would be great if he could, but even if Leon reaches the level max in all his skills, his mana pool won't reach that level. Even if he focuses solely on increasing that… Of course, Leon had no intention of summoning dragons. That was just a milestone he had to overcome in order to confirm his own power.

Leon looked to his left arm and still could see Ilyana's tattoo in there. It looked like she wanted to make Leon use her vault. Maybe Leon would replace more ways to get stronger by using that, but even if he uses the coins he obtains, he doubts that kind of power would help him truly.

"I only felt really growing when I learned on my own Magma Spear and Plasma Bullet," Leon said. "Magma Spear isn’t that useful anymore, but the magic projectiles made of Plasma still are… I doubt that I will replace anything better in dungeon shops. Ilyana's vault is definitely a treasure chest. Well, in the end… it will be better if she ends up obtaining those coins for… for… does she use coins for anything?"

Coins more or less became useful for Leon since his power was always above the level of the planet, he had been… at least considering the offensive spells. But things were probably different from Ilyana… she probably knew many types of spells, but she never stopped training, which means that she was always learning a new spell. However, Leon was more interested in how she spends the coins.

"Do you want to know?" Ilyana suddenly asked.

"I don't want to think that… but I'm pretty sure that you watch me every single moment," Leon frowned. "Don't you think that is a bit shameful?"

"Not at all," If you get as old as I am, something like that won't bother you in any way," Ilyana shrugged.

"You don't even have the decency to deny it…" Leon sighed. "Well, tell me, how do you spend your coins."

"Just use Clairvoyance and think of the coins while you look for the entrance of the dungeons in all the worlds of the universe," Ilyana replied.

Leon frowned when he heard that, but he tried to do that anyway. First, he did that in the dungeons of that world, and much to his surprise, even without being there, Leon could access the shop. Considering the density of mana there, Leon also managed to replace dungeon shops in worlds that he hadn't go yet… he could even access the dungeon shops in worlds that were only on the second or first stage of assimilation.
