Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

At the end of that week, just when Leon was about to leave and look for the spirit of light, he received the notifications that his spirits reached the max level. That was awesome, but suddenly all of them left the imaginary dimension. Everyone left except for Shadow because he had a late start.

"That new spirit is really annoying," Celsius said after a long sigh. "I can't believe it is more powerful than us."

"Hahaha! I'm finally free from that depressing atmosphere!" Efreet laughed.

Although the others didn't say anything about it, Leon could feel that they were quite troubled by Shadow's behavior… even Undine and Volt were the most understanding ones. As for Sylph and Gnome, they looked bored but didn't complain since they had the mentality of good kids.

"Bullying the new kid, huh," Leon crossed his arms and frowned. "How unexpected of you guys."

Although Leon said that, he was fully aware that Shadow was hard to deal with like a troublesome teenager��� the problem was: Shadow was much older than any teenager, so he would never grow up from that behavior. In the end, Leon decided to assimilate the knowledge more frequently to make new and refreshed replicas. Although Leon would always revive the memories of his replicas, he couldn't remember them since he always deleted those soon afterward.

"New and cooler spells… if only they were stronger than my plasma attacks, I would use them in real battles, instead of using them just to obtain status points." Leon said after a long sigh.

Wind Slicer was a generic spell, but Storm Blade was very different. Although those weren't that powerful, by casting that spell, Leon created several swords that could cut an enemy or several of them in quick sequence, just like a tornado. As for Phoenix Ascension and Phoenix Dive, those were just a bigger and flashier version of Fire Armor. Instead of protecting Leon, he created a massive firebird around his body and fired the same toward his enemies upward or downward.

"It is time to look for another spirit for you guys to bully," Leon said.

"We didn't bully anyone. It is just tiring to deal with Shadow," Celsius protested.

"Whatever… I believe that you guys can still teach me some new spells," Leon said. "So, relax while you can because eventually, you will have to teach me then, and the best place to learn and practice spells is in that dimension."

Leon thought he would hear some protests, but nothing happened. Most likely, the spirits customized the imaginary dimension to their liking. Leon knew that, but he couldn't imagine how they could feel relaxed in there. Although Leon could force and increase the dimensions of his mindscape, his brain was already too busy dealing with Mana Magnetism, so his mindscape was just five kilometers long, a large and tall cube. To make things fair, they shared all the terrain among themselves, so each spirit had an area to play around that was five kilometers long, wide, and eight hundred meters tall… they claimed Leon's mindscape for themselves without asking for permission, but it couldn't be helped. The spirits helped him quite a lot, after all.

Regardless, Leon had to prepare himself for a while, but he eventually had enough mana to move toward the location where he felt another spiritual-like presence. As expected, he appeared in what to be inside of a massive lamp. The light was so dazzling that even with Dark Armor, Leon was having difficulties keeping his eyes open. To make matters worse, Light Resistance wasn't helping in any way.

"What know…" Leon muttered.

This time Leon couldn't feel the spirit's presence. That was weird since he could feel it from afar… in any case, it was clear that the spirit of light was using another method to keep themselves hidden. However, that wouldn't work forever… Leon discovered recently another property of Black Hole, that skill sucked mana from any living being aside from Leon that was nearby. If that environment had been created by using mana, it wouldn't last long.

Black Hole got more powerful, so even a miniature of the skill quickly started to drain the mana of the environment. Although Leon didn't have much mana left, he concluded soon things would end because some cracks started to appear immediately in that place.

"This is enough," Leon heard a male voice coming from all directions.

Suddenly, all the light disappeared, and another planet full of life revealed itself before Leon. However, before he could observe that place further, a figure covered in light appeared in front of him. It was evident that was the spirit of light, but fortunately, Leon still could look at it without getting his eyes annoyed by the light.

"As expected of someone who managed to obtain the cooperation of all other spirits," The spirit of light smiled brightly. "You dealt with my defensive spell in mere instants. I'm one of the fragments of Rem, the spirit of light. Nice to meet you."

"… Nice to meet you. My name is Leon," Leon said after a brief moment of hesitation.

Leon didn't know what to expect from the spirit of light after he met Shadow. Although he heard somethings about it from Sekundez, he still didn't drop his guard. Fortunately, and strange enough… the spirit of light seemed rather normal.
