Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Some time has passed since the time Leon bought the last tome. Still, it would take a few decades for him to obtain the necessary coins to buy that tome.

"Well, it will be useful, so it is worth the hassle," Leon nodded to himself. "After learning that and obtaining Sekundez's power, I will be able to create this environment and create super-soldiers at an astonishing pace."

The cost of mana wouldn't probably be high since Sekundez said that only a moment would pass in reality while Leon undertakes the trial. The only problem would be too finding individuals how could withstand being alone for hundreds of years. The human race wasn't strong enough to survive the attack of the harvesters, but they had the strength that couldn't be surpassed by just a few decades of training. Hence, the kind of situation where Leon was in was necessary.

Although the cost of mana of those new spells was high and he couldn't customize them as much as he wanted, Leon would still use them because of their effective range, and considering the size of skills, it would be perfect for smashing the zombies with them.

"Using Mindscape Transportation, my replicas will probably meditate faster..." Leon concluded. "Even without Sekundez's power, I should be able to increase the speed of time passes there... the problem is, can I transport a replica to such a place when I'm in a place created by someone's else mind?"

The answer was probably yes since Leon could summon things from his mind, after all. Still, Leon could think of applications of that skill once he learns it. For the time being, it was better to focus on the things he could do.

Although Leon hesitated a little bit, after learning some skills from a random species of monster that he lost interest in, he decided to summon a replica of Darya in order to learn Telepathy. To avoid all possible problems, he summoned the Darya before he even learned her name, and even so... as soon as she appeared, he used Sleep before entering her mind and finding the memories of her using that skill. As soon as Leon found those memories and copied them, he made the replica disappear.

"In the end, I feel like I did something even worse of creating someone to talk to..." Leon said, dropped his shoulders, and then sighed.

Although Leon did that to summon Donan and some angels, it was different since most versions of them treated him like an enemy. The only version of Darya that treated Leon like an enemy was the one who helped Donan when Leon challenged him.

In any case, Leon didn't have to summon his friend again because most of the skills Darya had, Leon was the one who taught her. Now, Leon could take with his summoned monsters without being nearby or touching them, but it would be useless for the time being since his monsters were already at the max level, and he wasn't using them to fight all that much.

"I guess the easiest way to level up Telepathy would be too try to talk with Sekundez," Leon nodded to himself. "Trying to make my mana leave this place will certainly consume all of it... Although that will cause a massive headache, I can't see better ways to level up Telepathy here."

It already had become a common occurrence at that point, but a new monster appeared when Leon was about to do that kind of experiment. Much for Leon's surprise, the new species of a monster was very small... smaller than his fist. But even without using Appraisal, he discovered what they were just by seeing them flying around with small wings and sparkling like gems.

"Fairies?" Leon asked, dumbfounded.

In Leon's mind, all fairies were females, but he saw some males among that group. However, such concern disappeared from his mind when those little creatures started to sing. Their voices were beautiful, and the melody was also relaxing, but Leon didn't feel even a little bit relaxing when his health, mana, and stamina started to drop for some reason.

Without wasting time, Leon used Sunlight Nova. The choral-like sound disappeared while the corpses of the monsters turned into ashes. Leon couldn't remember a single game or story where fairies were enemies, but it looked like they would torment him unless he kills them fast.

It was already obvious, but Leon still felt quite surprised when he learned the fairies' skills. They could use their songs to attack the enemies' health, mana, and stamina directly. They also increase the status of their allies and decrease their enemies' status just by singing... it would be great if Leon could use all those skills at the same time, but he couldn't unless he uses Transform and create a version of himself that has five heads.
