Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Although Leon's next step was clear, instead of looking for the spirit of light, he decided to stay on Shadow's planet for a week. Despite the fact that he became Leon's ally several days ago, the darkness was yet to disappear from the planet… Even though it was a pretty decent spell, Shadow used one that consumed only a small amount of mana to stay active, but that also could maintain itself for a few days in case something happens with Shadow.

Given Shadow's behavior, Leon thought the planet he had chosen to stay on would be more desolate and grimmer. However, Leon only found a planet that made him recall an Ambiental park. The vegetation was full of life, and everything was very colorful… despite that, Leon was feeling annoyed seeing that because he was troubled. Leon couldn't forget about Earth's situation, nor about his friends… and the fact that Ilyana didn't give him a single report was annoying as hell.

"Once I finish this training, I will giver her a piece of my mind…" Leon bit his lips, annoyed. "Anyway… Sekundez, do you have any other spells that you can teach me?"

"Yes, but to learn them, you will have to have Time Manipulation at level max, and I also need to be at the max level," Sekundez replied.

It was only evident that useful time magic spells would have such requirements, but Leon still felt depressed hearing it. Regardless, since training those would be a pain, Leon's only option was to wait for his other summons to reach the max level before focusing on Sekundez to do the same.

"Learning physical skills is good and all, but I guess I should tell my replica to focus on using spells since those are easier to learn and practice," Leon rubbed his chin. "For the time being, the list of skills I can learn from dragons is still pretty big, so I can afford to train physical skills only now and then to make good use of my health and stamina."

It would be a good idea to train Dark Aura since Leon soon would have to a place full of light thanks to the spirit of light actions. By using that, he probably wouldn't go blind… even though Leon probably heal the damage in his eyes using Full-Recover, he didn't want to experience such things.

"The problem is the cost of mana, but maybe it will come in handy in the case to obtain their cooperation, I have to defeat the spirit of light in a fight," Leon said.

"The trial probably won't be a fight," Sekundez said. "The fragments of the spirit of light I found so far were all pacifists. You should be more worried about your usual violent behavior since spirits of light tend to be pacifists. They don't get along well with violent beings."

"I'm not violent… I'm just prone to solve problems by using brute strength," Leon said.

Although that wasn't a good argument, it was the only one Leon could think of. In any case, Leon didn't expect to hear that. Even though he didn't see the spirit that gave power to the angels, he didn't expect much from a being that gave power to those creatures that blindly attacked anything that didn't have wings.

"By the way… how did you manage to meet other fragments of the spirit of light?" Leon asked.

"I didn't spend my entire life in that temple," Sekundez replied. "Besides, some people that challenged me also had the power of the spirit of light, so I had the chance to talk with them directly while their masters were trying to complete the trial."

"I see… in any case. Most spirits can absorb the mana of some elements to level up faster. Can you do the same thing?" Leon asked.

"I can absorb the power of all elements and become stronger by absorbing it, but the process isn't that efficient," Sekundez replied.

"Why?" Leon asked.

"Basically, I make the time of certain spells go back in time to the moment where they were just mana, and I absorb it," Sekundez explained. "Although I just make the time go back to a single thing and only for a few moments, a lot of mana is used. That skill is called Temporal Absorption and is one of the skills I will teach you eventually, but as you can imagine, it is only useful against powerful skills."

Just knowing that Leon could absorb mana like that was enough to make Leon feel excited to learn it. Although its use would be difficult, it was the perfect skill to use against dragons.

"Accelerate is at level three hundred… Meanwhile, all my spirits reached the level six hundred," Leon nodded to himself. "It is good progress, but not fast enough."

Accelerate was almost at the level where one second in the real world was one hour in Leon's mindscape. Despite that, he would only really feel satisfied once he reaches the same level as Sekundez… it would be insane. Still, Leon wanted to create an environment where one second, in reality, would be five thousand years in an imaginary dimension.

"Now, I finally understand why Ilyana has so many tomes stored in her vault," Leon said.
