Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

It took him quite a while, but Leon eventually learned the spells that increased his status as long as he uses his mana. It would take a while before Leon can recover his mana faster than he can spend using all those skills, but he was okay with his progress so far.

"That was already expected, but it is quite troublesome the fact that there are no spells that increase only recovery and luck," Leon said while he watched his new buffs in the skill list. "In any case, it is time to return to my regular training."

That would be difficult because Leon was out of ideas again, and the monsters didn't have any new spell. To make matters worse, a new enemy appeared to make Leon lose focus again.

"What the hell..." Leon frowned when he saw a group of cloaked and pale figures leaving the ocean in the middle of the day. "Vampires? Are you for real?"

Another type of monster that Leon didn't see so far, even though some skills that they have, didn't make any sense. They weren't that strong... if they get too close to an enemy, then things could dangerous, but Leon was pretty sure, considering their humanoid shape, that they wouldn't survive if he crushes their head and heart.

Leon's elementals made ice and electricity rain over them, and since they were at the level three hundred, the first group of vampires quickly died.

"I really don't want to drink blood... but I guess the transformation skills might be useful," Leon said. "Blood Manipulation also seems quite interesting."

Leon couldn't take the memories of the moments the vampires learned those skills, but he could use Mind Control and make them use those skills for quite a while and then transplant those memories to his head. Although the monsters resembled a lot of humans, in the end, Leon didn't hesitate to use them. Leon considered that hypothesis, but those weren't racial skills. After experiencing the memories for a while and trying to replicate the things he felt, he received some notifications.

"Mmm? This is weird..." Leon frowned while he flew around in the shape of a two meters long bat.

Leon soon understood the meaning of his discomfort; his status changed alongside the transformation. Most of his points went to stamina, and the same thing happened to intelligence, but the points went to speed. Something similar happened when Leon transformed into a wolf... it wasn't like his ordinary Transform skill. For the good or for the worse, that skill changed his status completely.

"Blood Manipulation is like Telekinesis, but with more precision, since I can ignore the flesh and bones of the targets..." Leon said astonished.

The problem with Blood Manipulation was that Leon could only practice in living beings. He wouldn't try on himself since he would end up causing damage to his brain, and the vampires were undead creatures, so it wouldn't count as a practice. Although that was troublesome, it was probably for the best... killing a monster using Telekinesis was one thing. Killing a monster making the blood stop flowing through a monster was quite dreadful. Leon didn't even have to test to know it.

"... Whatever, even though it is troublesome, I miss the feeling of accomplishments of when I learn some impressive spells on my own," Leon said after a long sigh. "To get rid of my worries, I guess something like that might help."

It didn't take long for Leon to have some ideas. Even though it was getting hard as of late to learn new offensive spells, his mind was still working in strange ways to make things more efficient and even to surprise his enemies.

It took a while, but after training Blood Manipulation in order to make small amounts of blood leave his own body, Leon obtained enough control to make it impossible without letting him feel a thing. That would obviously be more useful using corpses as a basis, so Leon decided to stop after succeeding in creating a single spell.

"It less harmful than I thought it would be..." Leon frowned. "Still, just what the hell am I thinking of using my own blood as a weapon? Is this one sign of me going mad?"

Leon saw Ilyana's tomes many times, and he didn't see anything that used the life of the user as a basis. Still, considering how Leon acted so far, he would probably be suspicious if Ilyana had put a tome like that insider her vault in order to make Leon learn it...
