Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

In the end, Leon used all the mana liquid stored in all the magic boxes just to keep his replica active. It wasn't because it was like a shadow clone, but it was because the cost of the skill was decreasing by fifteen points with each level up. It made sense since it would be weird if the replica gets stronger than Leon by leveling up. Regardless, at the max level, the replica would drain fifteen thousand mana points per second, but it was better than nothing.

"Just in case, I shouldn't use the mana stored in the soul eaters," Leon nodded to himself. "Although the perfect replica is useful, it won't be helpful against the zombies."

It looks like Leon's worries were unfounded. He didn't feel anything weird when his mind was connected to the perfect replica. Since the copy and the original share the same brain and even the same mana pool, Leon would have noticed if something weird happens.

Regardless, at the max level of both Summon Perfect Replica and Mana Magnetism, and even if Leon concentrates for longer periods of time, he would only be able to keep the replica active for one in three seconds. To maintain a single copy without relying on anything except recovery, Leon would have to increase his mana to nine hundred thousand points alongside recovery.

"Considering my pace of obtaining status points so far... that will take two thousand years," Leon frowned. "The skill is useful since alone I can see the enemies from two directions, but it is really worth the hassle?"

Leon could decrease such problems by half using items, but it seemed a bit weird to focus on that. Still, Leon decided to have someday enough power to keep at least one copy of himself active... because the damage that replica suffered wasn't transmitted to Leon. Meanwhile, the replica could do anything in its power to recover and transfer mana to Leon.

"There are many things that I don't know, and it would take a while to form countermeasures against mages," Leon said. "Considering that I'm not definitely the only one who thought of ways to deal with other mages, the best option is to rely more on recovery. My copy doesn't have a status like me, but it can cast spells with the same level of power and control. So, unless its heart and head are destroyed, a replica can recover from any wound. So, I guess I don't need to increase my health and stamina, considering that."

Considering the unknown level of power of some creatures, Leon's health and stamina still were at a disappointing level. However, it was more than enough for someone who never deactivated Mana Armor. It was time to focus again on increasing only intelligence control and recovery.

"The cost is annoying as usual, but I guess this will help me obtain some status points," Leon said while watching the elemental shields floating around him.

Just for the fun of it, Leon decided to create a variation of his auxiliary elemental swords. Most likely, it would work in other types of weapons, but Leon chose to create those first since they could be repaired by consuming Leon's mana and also because it was easy to level them up.

"Mmm? I had forgotten than I left those skills active..." Leon said, surprised at those notifications. "I guess it is time to level up the next three skills."

Leon deactivated those skills that leveled up and then activated the ones which increased his speed. It has been a while since he trained his body so, he decided to run around the island and see how fast he could increase his endurance and stamina. Thanks to his new skills, he didn't have to worry about expending his mana, so he would be able to train both at the same time.

In the end, despite having the power to recover so much stamina, Leon still had to use Stamina Restoration. However, thanks to it, he learned several things. One of them was a certain rule. To obtain one point in endurance and stamina, Leon had to run for six hours, and his speed had to be of at least two kilometers per second. It wasn't easy, but he could run two times faster than that by using some buffs, so he did it. All in order to cut the time training by half... from that day onward, Leon ran three hours every day all in order to increase his speed and endurance.
