Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

In the end, Leon only managed to relax for a few hours. Although his body wanted to relax after training for so long, his instincts were telling him to continue because his enemies were getting stronger much faster than him. So, when the mana liquid ended, Leon got up and then walked toward the Ilyana's castle.

Things were going well on Earth, according to Ilyana, his friends were building their new homes and also making use of the time dilation... things were going well, perhaps too well and that kind of thing was what bothered Leon most.

"I guess so many things happened so fast in the past that I got used to it to the point where I miss troublesome situations for me to solve..."

Regardless, after walking for two hours, Leon reached Ilyana's castle, and after half an hour, he found her in the center of the empty building. As always, she was sitting cross-legged and creating Ghost-Swords.

"Mmm? I don't think it is time for your weekly resistance training," Ilyana said, surprised at Leon's arrival. "If you want to train your resistance more and faster, you need to increase your health."

"Didn't you hear me approaching?" Leon said, surprised. "I thought you are always watching me."

"Do you want to be watched every single moment by me?" Ilyana frowned.

"No..." Leon answered. "Anyway, I learned Determination Zone... though I think it is weird that there is a spell that can motivate my allies. Regardless, I have come to learn how to summon a golem."

"It isn't much different of how to summon a slime... you just have to create a mass of earth of the size of the earth golems you saw before and concentrate forty-five hundred mana points in its center," Ilyana explained. "The feelings you have to think while you create it is something like: attack everything on sight and the same feeling you have when you manipulate Earth."

Leon frowned upon hearing that, again the exact numbers... but he didn't overthink it. The problem was the things he had to feel while creating the golems since he had to pass those feelings to them. Otherwise, they would only become statues.

"You look confused, but it isn't that complicated," Ilyana said. "Just imagine yourself like a golem that attacks everything and also imagine yourself using Earth Manipulation."

Leon nodded and then left the castle. The theory seemed a bit more simple, but Leon was aware that he would have a hard time learning the spell since he had to everything in the blink of an eye.

"Since golems are made of earth, that means you can create them, Gnome?" Leon asked.

"Of course," Gnome answered. "But they will be under my command, even though I will end up using your mana."

Leon nodded, in the end, he couldn't solve the problem so easily. Regardless, Leon started his practice creating only a statue of the golems. Using mana to create their cores would make him consume too much mana, so it was better to do that later once he can create the bodies of the golems fast enough.

...

Fortunately, Geomancy made everything much easier. The old and good elemental magic was straightforward to use, so Leon managed to create the statues pretty fast. However, he only stopped when he could make a perfect golem when he could do that in 0.1 seconds. It was insane, but Leon could do it thanks to Lion's Pride that enhanced his attributes even without consuming his mana.

"Now I just have to make a copy made of mana of the golem's core, at the very moment I finish its body..."

Just as Leon expected, things got difficult from that moment onward. Mostly because the cost of mana to create the core was high. After failing only three times, Leon had to use mana liquid or blue angel leaves to restore his mana. However, since Leon was really looking forward to that skill, he persevered, and two days later, he finally succeeded.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Summon Earth Golem.

It couldn't be helped, but Leon couldn't help but frown while looking at the golem... the fact that creature was in status only five times stronger than a slime was depressing. The cost of mana was also insane... even though it was expected. Regardless, Leon started to create more and make them attack Ilyana's Ghost-Swords. Things got noisy since the magic projectiles were made of earth, but Leon ignored that because he also started to receive a lot of notifications.

"I knew I wanted to learn how to summon them, but... man, they take a lot of space."

Leon created three and tried to control them in order to make some mana liquid, but even though he only made then make the powder, the effects of the mana liquid decreased. When Leon was the one who made the powder, and they add it to the water... the same thing happened. It couldn't be helped, and Leon already knew that, but he couldn't contain a long sigh once he confirmed that fact.
