Things started to progress much faster once Leon began to face the mechanical spiders Ilyana was creating. Using Mana Absorption alone, he could destroy in less than a second, but since he had to spend the mana obtained, he was taking a few more moments. However, considering that Ilyana could create mechanical spiders once every three seconds. It was more than enough to make Leon stop her whole army of monsters alone.

"Come to think of it, following the logic of games and some stores... Fire, Ice, and Thunder Breath were supposed to be techniques of dragons."

"Dragons can learn that kind of technique faster, but it doesn't mean other species can't replicate the same action," Ilyana said via Telepathy.

Leon sighed. Now the number of people monitoring his thoughts increased by one. Although Ilyana wasn't as troublesome as his spirits, Leon couldn't relax around her. Regardless, putting such thoughts aside, at least Leon returned to the pace where he could obtain three hundred status points every day. Still, Leon couldn't help but feel out of place since things were too easy, and he could even create some golems and slimes to help him with the extra mana.

"Things would be much more convenient if you guys helped me,"

"Getting stronger by training and facing real opponents is one thing," Celsius said. "but this isn't either of that. Unless those mechanical spiders reach level five hundred, it wouldn't be a real challenge to destroy them."

"And if we destroy them, you won't be able to absorb their mana," Undine added.

Leon nodded since it made a lot of sense. In the end, the spirits would get stronger faster, and at a fast pace, the mechanical spiders would become even more boring. Much to Leon's surprise, even the battle-freak Efreet wasn't interested in that. In contrast, Sylph and Gnome were more interested in relaxing if Leon wasn't going to play with them. Volt was the only one who said that he was fine with it. But Leon noticed by the tone of his voice that he also wasn't that happy in getting stronger facing weaker but numerous enemies.

"I guess it is also a good idea to level up Mana Armor now that I have the chance to face so many enemies... come to think of it, I wonder what will happen to those robots if I use Anti-Mana Field near them."

"You will kill them, but you will spend some mana and won't be able to drain any," Ilyana said via Telepathy."

Although the answer was welcome, once again, Leon couldn't help but feel... troubled. Overthinking about every single thing wasn't good, but obtaining the answer to his questions quickly wasn't good either. Regardless, Ilyana and even helped Leon to train his Mana Armor even without saying anything. It was convenient, but weird... Leon couldn't even think that Ilyana was strange since she was practically monitoring his thoughts.

"... I have to focus on the training," Leon said after a long sigh.

One week later, Leon finally achieved his current small goal... all his skills were on level fifty. Leon started to wonder what he should do... learn new spells or level up his current ones? In the end, he had another idea.

"Ilyana... won't I learn the debuff version of Health Zone and the other spells like that one?" Leon asked.

"The reverse skill of Health Zone can drain the health of enemies around you," Ilyana answered. "Can you even drain the health and stamina of a single monster?"

"... No," Leon answered. "Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"

"You will eventually learn both, but you are not ready yet," Ilyana said.

In the end, Leon could only shrug. It looked like to prepare himself for the battle that will take place on Earth. He would have to learn many things. It was clear that Leon was a magician, but he wondered if it was fine in becoming a jack-of-all-trades magician. Status changed his body down to a molecular level, but it looked like that changed didn't apply to elemental properties or anything similar. That was why Ilyana intended to make Leon learn offensive magic, support magic, and even summoning magic. They had some time until the battle, so it couldn't be helped that she wanted to teach him everything.

Still, Leon couldn't help but wonder... wouldn't it be better to have several students instead of a single one? If Ilyana decides to teach magic to all the people on the Earth, Leon was pretty sure that they would be able to accomplish much more than Leon could do alone.

Just teaching and learning weren't enough. Leon was aware of it. Things like loyalty and battle experience were necessary to create a good soldier. Most likely, Ilyana didn't think that the humans of Earth could become loyal or that they even had enough battle experience. It was also necessary to consider that other harvesters may notice if she decides to make such a big move... in the end, Ilyana had to consider many things.

Leon wasn't special, but considering everything, Ilyana knew that he fought plenty of battles against stronger enemies and that he would never betray those who helped him in some way. He was a safe investment...
