Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon had a hard time leveling up his skills, but things got a lot better when the first monsters appeared after the third wave of zombies. The first monsters were ice skeletons, and even though they weren't that resilient, Leon's skills started to level up faster.

"Well, now... I guess this is time where I should begin to worry, right?" Leon asked.

Leon didn't experience the effects of the fifth stage of assimilation, but he wasn't expecting to experience that on that island and so earlier. Obviously, Leon didn't expect that things would proceed at the same speed as Earth, but even so... finding monsters that only appear after in the fourth stage after one hundred and forty years was a bit too strange.

"I guess Sekundez didn't plan everything with care..." Leon said. "If she experienced things at this speed, maybe in one hundred years I will face the monsters that only appear at the fifth stage of assimilation. While that is good to level up my skills, I'm worried about the rest of my time here..."

The moment Leon stopped his training, he would think about problematic things, so he decided to focus himself again. Thanks to it, he obtained a lot of status points, even though it took him a few years. Fortunately, he also had some time to test a few things he was training. Leon never tried to create spells like a golden arrow, golden lance, but once he tried, he failed. Leon also experimented with other materials, but nothing happened. However, there was a variation of the earth that he managed to create spells with.

"Those unexpectedly cost a lot of mana... but their power if quite surprisingly high," Leon concluded while he was leveling up them against the hippogryphs.

Although the crystal projectiles were weaker than the steel ones, they could fly faster. Maybe it was due to their weights, but Leon didn't want to think too much about the subject since he could overpower his enemies with spells that combined the power of several elements.

Regardless, while Leon was leveling up his new skills, he also was checking Ilyana's vault. It has been a long while since he bought a tome from there, so it was time to make good use of it. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Leon to find something quite interesting...

Foresight tome

Cost: 10,000 mana per second

Cooldown time: 6,000 seconds

Requirements: 100,000 Intelligence, 50,000 Control, Lv Max Mana Eyes, Lv Max Meditation.

Cost: 0 and 1,000,000,000,000 coins. (Since you are stupid, I know you will spend your coins.)

"Oh, boy... one trillion coins," Leon laughed while looking at the tome that seemed so close and yet so far. "Why do I keep looking at her vault knowing that I will find this kind of thing?"

It would be very troublesome, but Leon had no choice but to level up meditate. Fortunately, he would have a lot of time to do so since he didn't even have one hundred billion coins. Fortunately, even the level one monsters were giving him hundreds of coins. So, it wouldn't take more than a few decades for Leon to learn that. However, instead of waiting, Leon started to think about how he could obtain that power by himself.

"Well, first... I need to train Mana Eyes and Meditation," Leon said.

It was a bit hard to imagine that someone who was only good at learning destructive spells would learn how to see the future alone, but that kind of challenge was what Leon was looking for. Even though it was possible that many harvesters had that power, Foresight would be much more useful outside the battle than during a battle. Leon would be able to shorten his training speed if he uses Foresight while he trains, after all. He just had to use Foresight whenever he makes some changes in his actions.

"Foresight... I wonder how much far in the future I can see with such skill," Leon rubbed his chin.historical

Although it was quite painful, Leon used Haste, Electric Armor, Quick Legs, Speed Augmentation, Enhanced Speed to speed up the Meditation training. Even though Meditation recovered his mana, Leon had to stop several times because it wasn't enough to keep all his skills while healing himself. It took a while, but after eighteen months...

Congratulations! The skill Haste has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

Congratulations! The skill Electric Armor has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

Congratulations! The skill Quick Legs has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

Congratulations! The skill Speed Augmentation has reached the max level.

Congratulations! The skill Meditation has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

Congratulations! The skill Thunder Resistance has reached the max level.

​ You obtained 01 status points.

"It isn't as much as usual, but I did obtain some status points..." Leon said. "Still, I kind of was expecting that, but to think that I won't immediately learn Thunder Nullification after leveling up Thunder Resistance to the max level is quite depressing."

In any case, Leon would have to train Mana Eyes, but that soon would happen since Leon always used it while he was practicing new spells or trying to copy the ones from monsters. Unfortunately, after all that training, Leon had no idea how to replicate Foresight.
