Thanks to Geomancy and Pyromancy, Leon managed to learn those spells in just one week. Explosive Fire Arrow and Spinning Earth Arrow were particularly handy. At level one the first spell could explode upon impact, causing enough damage that was equal to a grenade… it was hard to be sure since Leon didn't see any real grenades exploding.
Spinning Earth Arrow not only had a fearsome piercing power, but it could even destroy some big rocks… Even though those probably wouldn't be enough to kill the angels, it would probably be enough to keep them at bay, in case a horde of them comes to attack Leon. In a world where they were everywhere, using Transfer to escape from a battle wasn't the best idea.
"The best combination would probably be water and thunder magic... but to learn those without something like the equivalent of Pyromancy, it would take too long."
Leon had some idea of spells that would combine Pyromancy and Geomancy, but creating magma out of thin air wouldn't surprise the enemies. The best way would be to attack from the ground, but against flying enemies, that wouldn't work. While Leon was thinking of creative ways to decrease his problems, he thought of something interesting… what if he creates a golem made of earth and put the spirit of a monster?
"Mmm… just creating a golem won't work. The same thing will happen when I tried to create a magic backpack… but what if I make a golem that instead of regular limbs, he had spears or swords?"

"Interesting... very, very interesting..."
Since it was made of mithril, the thing couldn't move like an actual bird, but it could fly like a drone. It would be interesting if it could grow stronger, but it wasn't such a useful skill. It also needed mana to move, but considering that was a creature like the lesser spirits that could act independently and follow Leon's orders at the same time, it was useful nonetheless.
"Control -5… my control didn't decrease. So, my control decides how many of those creatures I can control?"
That was probably the case, the skill had several limitations, or it would be way too useful if Leon could create an army of mithril dragons that could follow all his commands. Maybe it was the difference between size and weight, but that bird could fly for one minute using only ten mana points.
"Although it is cool and all having a familiar working for me, I don't think I will be able to create many that could be useful in battle... until I increase my control, shall I make them harvest blue angel leaves for me?"
That probably wouldn't work unless Leon creates those inorganic familiar using the devourer's spirit… No, even if Leon uses those, the devourers had to eat things that had mana to absorb mana. So, before putting them to work, Leon would have to waste some time putting the familiars in an appropriate place where they could defeat enemies and absorb their mana. It was a good way to obtain a few extra coins, but not much use to help Leon increase his training time.
"Wait a minute, what if I give an inorganic familiar the shape of a shield... won't he protect me at all times? It certainly will... but I doubt that can withstand more than a few attacks. Besides, using my Telekinesis, I will be able to prevent a possible magic projectile making the shield smash me."
It would be great if Leon could absorb the mana of those familiars stored, but then again, they weren't that convenient. In the end, that kind of power wouldn't be useful unless Leon spends a lot of time and mana on it. Since he was already too busy improving his telescope and training, he would try that later.
Anyway, according to Alurelle, it would take a month before they could have enough mana to travel back to their world. Leon would have to keep practicing Transfer for one week at least until that skill reaches level one hundred for efficiency's sake. So, Leon would have two more weeks to train freely. Learning new spells to obtain status points wasn't a good idea, so Leon used his remaining free time to level up Explosive Fire Arrow and Spinning Earth Arrow.
