Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path
653 Chapter 651

"You… how did you manage to learn that skill?" Netro asked, finally using his voice. "You used not only one, but two skills that can only be used by dragons… how?"

Leon was quite surprised by Netro suddenly questions. If anything, answering his questions might help him buy some time. However, given that Leon was literally starving to death, he didn't have time for that. Still, did he have any other option? Leon barely damaged Netro, and that was when he was in his half-dragon form. Now, he was about to die of hunger, and his opponent was perfectly fine. Not only that, he wasn't using even a single drop of mana to maintain that form.

"… Someone once told me that everything was possible using mana," Leon replied. "The people who tried to learn those spells probably didn't try for long."

If Leon remembers well, he obtained Dragon Force by eating dragons… but now that he thought about it, he didn't eat all that many for him to start to change physically and become like one. If that were possible, many people on Earth would have obtained that skill by know. They have been hunting and eating dragons for a year, after all.

"Mmm… there is also the fact that I ate thousands of dragon hearts, but if only that were enough, Ilyana would have attempted to motivate me to eat dragons more."

In any case… Leon suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He didn't feel like when he was in his humanoid form, but Netro now looked quite delicious… not sexually speaking. He had a lot of meat in his body. The answer to many of his problems was actually in front of him…

"Eating a half-dragon would make me feel bad since they were humanoids… but that doesn't apply for someone who has the body of a dragon that big."

Leon had to strike down now while Netro was shocked by his Dragon's Mode. The only where he could secure his lunch was now… if he fails, Netro will understand his intention, and that would never work again. To increase the chances of success, Leon would need the cooperation of Rem and Shadow.

"Rem, Shadow… you two need to work together," Leon talked with his spirits using his mind alone. "At this rate, I will really die of hunger… so I want you two to bring me a piece of that guy's tail."

"At once, Master," Shadow said.

"It has been quite a while since you gave me any orders, but I guess this is quite an interesting one," Rem nodded.

Although they were equally powerful and stronger than the other spirits except for Sekundez, they seemed by far the less reliable ones. However, Leon didn't have any choice but to rely on them. If he moves too much, he might collapse of starvation, and besides, the spirits could use the elements and cause as much damage as Leon. They just needed the mana and barely had to concentrate.

The very moment Leon summoned them, Shadow used Teleport, and both of them appeared right above Netro's tail. Ren cast a massive Light Lance, and thanks to it, Netro lost the sense of touch on his tail. Meanwhile, Shadow created a Black Hole to damage a small part of it. In the end, they consumed all of Leon's mana, but they also managed to bring Leon the tip of the tail… five kilograms of pure dragon's meat.

"You bastard… how dare you!" Netro shouted, and the whole planet started to tremble. "How dare you eat the tail of a dragon that is still alive!"

It looked like that was something impolite to do, but Leon couldn't care less about such costumes, rules, or whatever the hell that was… He was hungry and hungry people don't care about how they managed to get food.

As expected, the scales were getting on the way, but even without cooking, the meat was pretty good, and with every bite, Leon felt his energy recovering. He was supposed to feel quite scared while being stared at by Netro's bloodshot eyes, but then again, Leon was too hungry to care about anything else.

"Shadow and Rem, your job will be to bring me more food," Leon declared. "He is focusing too much on me, so there will be plenty of chances. He will probably regenerate, and in terms of abilities, he still can overwhelm me, but as long as we buy some time, we will grab the chance when it comes."

"You know… when we mentioned that we wanted to help, we didn't mean it like this," Celsius frowned.

The meat of that dragon was so nutritious that Leon could feel a lot of his mana being recovered naturally. Not only that, even his body was regenerating much faster than usual. That would be a war of attrition like no other, but Leon would use Netro himself to defeat Netro.

…

To give Rem and Shadow the opening necessary, Leon activated Dragon Mode again and immediately moved toward Netro. Although it wasn't that effective at the low-level, his attributes' bonus was fifty percent more powerful compared to Dragon Force. At level one, that skill increased his status by fifteen hundred points, and each level up was increasing that… No wonder Netro was so much stronger than Leon.

Leon shot several Plasma Lances, but Netro blocked them all with a single-arm, and using the other one, he tried to crush Leon. However, by using Telekinesis, Leon managed to stop the beast.

"What?!" Netro said, visibly surprised.
