Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon spent two weeks playing with the minotaurs in their world until he got tired of it and returned to Ilyana's world. Someone once said that no news is good news, but according to Leon's experiences so far, no news meant something shitty was about to happen. Despite all that, he didn't see anything different when he returned. The only real difference is that Ilyana was summoning Mud Golems this time.

"How was your vacation?" Ilyana asked, using Telepathy. "Did you bring any souvenirs?"

"No," Leon answered.

���So thoughtful..." Ilyana said. "If you don't mind, can you help me a little? I want to level up my golems. Just do the usual, drain their mana and create more of your own minions."

Leon sighed. Ilyana didn't wait for his answer and just imagined as if he would help her as a matter of fact. Leon owed her much more than that and would owe much more once he finds the other spirits, so it couldn't be helped.

Leon slimes got a little stronger, but he would never find an opponent that they could kill alone. Mostly because Leon couldn't go to a world that was on the first stage of assimilation. Leon also doubted that his Earth Golems would become strong enough for it before Leon's existence starts to be rejected by those worlds.

Since the earth golems could level up more efficiently, Leon decided to create three slimes and one earth golem, and so on per turn. He was just summoning them to gain status points, so it didn't matter which one reaches level max first.

"Did something happen on Earth while I was away?" Leon asked, imagining that Ilyana could hear him.

"Weren't you there?" Ilyana asked.

"Don't pretend that you don't keep an eye on me, 24/7," Leon shook his head.

"Nothing happened, you friends are diligently increasing their power while building their defenses," Ilyana said. "Can't you endure seeing your friends for a few months? At this rate, you won't last until your planets are attacked."

Leon let out a long sigh to calm his nerves, Ilyana knew about the things he endured to return home and find his family and friends, and she still was capable of saying things like that. However, Leon couldn't understand why she was like that. She probably lost the people she cared about thousands of years ago, and even though she wanted revenge, she was doing that for herself, not because someone caused the deaths of her family and friends. Just like Amanda forgot about Leon after nine hundred years, Ilyana probably forgot about most of those she cared about.

Leon couldn't help but wonder if something like that will happen to him. If he manages to survive after protecting his family, his friends, and Earth... will he forget about them after a hundred years? Will he still care about them four hundred years in the future to risk himself for them? Leon was more than aware that humans weren't creatures easy to understand. He himself was quite complicated and, despite everything, quite emotive. It wouldn't be weird if someday he suddenly snaps and decides to forget about them after being treated like a stranger for who knows how long... Leon shook those thoughts of his head. He didn't have time to think about that kind of thing.

"When are you going to tell me the location of the spirits?" Leon asked.

"You are not ready yet," Ilyana answered.

"And when will I be ready?" Leon asked.

"It is impossible to know," Ilyana answered. "It isn't about status or skills. It is about your will... The current you won't survive any of the tests, the three remaining spirits will force you to pass to obtain their powers."

It was a pain, but it looked like Leon would have to become a little more mature or perhaps bloodthirsty to pass the trials of the spirits of light, shadow, and time. Leon couldn't even imagine what kind of things they would force him to do... Leon was a man who would put his arms in a river of magma just to train his elemental resistance, but it looked like only that much bravery wasn't enough. He needed to be more insane... and that wasn't something good.

Those notifications were the things that made Leon wake up in the middle of the 'battle' against the Mud Golems. At some points, he started to fight full-auto. Although it wasn't bad to find a way to fight without overthinking, fighting without thinking was just too dangerous.

"I guess it is time to learn the next summoning spell... Let's see If I can learn this on my own."

Leon, more or less, knew the logic behind summoning spells, and if summoning an earth golem was relatively simple, he imagined the same thing would apply to the other types of golems. With that in mind, Leon started to practice.
