Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

191 Chapter 190

It took a long while for Hector to understand that Leon wouldn't attack him with magic no matter what. Even though using feints wasn't a bad thing per se, Leon wanted to learn how to fight using a weapon and not mess with the opponent's mind. So, he stopped doing that, not because the audience was looking at him reproachfully.

Despite the obvious differences in strength, Leon still could block Hector's attacks… at least when he used his lance. When he used his shield, the only thing Leon could do was to rely on his Mana Armor to deny the damage, but his skill didn't stop Hector from pushing him back. In the end, Leon didn't have the chance to land a single clean hit.

"That was refreshing." Hector smiled.

Eventually, Leon also sparred with Sasha and Amanda, but he didn't manage to do anything against them either. Sasha was weaker than Betty, but she knew how to mess with Leon's movements. Thanks to that, she hit Leon even more than Hector. As for Amanda, Leon had an even harder time against her since she was constantly on the offense while moving in order to keep her distance from the target.

"That is the price for relying too much on magic… I'm a joke when I can't use it."

Despite that, Leon was quite satisfied because he was an acquiring experience. Having a hard time sparring with his friends meant that he had room to grow.

The next day, Leon sparred against Gisela and Lennart. Gisela wasn't that fast with her greatsword, but blocking wasn't an option. So, the only thing Leon could do was to run away. Against Lennart, they practiced their magic attacks, so there was no need for melee weapons. Surprisingly, Lennart didn't only use his famous Freeze Mist but also used Ice Bullets. However, Leon blocked his attacks using earth magic. Sealing the mist inside an earth box and just blocking the bullets with some earth.

"Did your sister teach you that?" Leon asked.

"Yes, I understand that sometimes I won't face many enemies," Lennart answered. "So, that is why I learned, and I'm learning single target spells."

Since Lennart most fought alongside his friends, he didn't learn any defensive spells. However, Leon taught him Mana Armor; they could hit each other several times before things could get dangerous. Leon thought that only Amanda could hurt him with spells, but Lennart attacks were even more powerful. Thanks to that, his Mana Armor was leveling up a lot.

Regardless, from that day onward, everyone sparred against everyone on a daily basis. Lennart only practiced using magic, so Leon was the weakest of them in terms of physical power. But once again, that wasn't something that bothered. Recalling his first days on the island, Leon knew that the baby steps would take him far. Besides, just like his friends were learning magic a lot faster thanks to him, he was getting stronger physically a lot faster thanks to them.

While by night, Leon was obtaining combat experience, by the day he was increasing his speed and stamina while trying to learn the Seal spell. Like always, time was something Leon couldn't afford to lose. So, he decided to increase the efficiency of his training. Try to do that while trying to learn a dangerous spell like Seal was a bad idea, but it wasn't when the question was to increase his speed and stamina. So, to increase his speed as soon as possible, Leon decided to run while carrying weights on his legs and arms.

"I cannot let anyone see me training like an anime character… Betty and Hector would mock me for days."

Still, that was kind of hard to do since Gisela didn't have a job per se in Las Vegas, and she spent most of her time training, and Lennart was always with her… at least they weren't the type to talk about others behind their backs. Rather than that, when Gisela saw that Leon was indeed getting faster thanks to that type of training, she requested the same weights.

If his physical training was progressing, the process of learning Seal wasn't. After a few days, Leon noticed that he couldn't cover the body of the monster if he imprisons them with his steel. In the end, Leon had to knock the desert wolf down before removing the steel and practicing.

As expected, it wasn't something easy to do. Even though he covered his own body with mana, it wasn't the same thing cover another body with his own mana. He had to concentrate for quite a while before finally managing to cover the monster's body with his mana. Even so, the process hadn't been perfect. While he tried to cover the creature's body, some parts of the mana layer were thicker. Besides, if he doesn't control all the mana with care, the energy would dissipate. Regardless, nothing happened since the process was far from perfection.

"Well, just like always… I have to keep practicing until I master the technique."
