Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

524 Chapter 522

"Time never waits..."

Leon heard that same voice in the same boring tone for the fourth time. Although the voice actually sounded neutral, Leon always imagined someone smirking while watching him struggle. The spirits he had found so far weren't like that, but Leon felt like it was time to find the biggest asshole in the spirits' history.

Although Leon wanted to learn several more skills, he only learned a few because the cost was too high. Until he finds a way to obtain coins again, it wasn't a good idea to spend so much without caution. Even though he still had millions. Regardless, Leon had a hard time practicing those skills for obvious reasons. Fortunately, Leon leveled up Tiger Stance quite fast, since it was a skill that was similar to Iron Fists, the real difference it was the fact that increase the power and speed of attacks and blocks using his arms.

"This time, I should level up my offensive skills up to the level one hundred fifty... It won't be very easy, but I don't have any choice but to endure. Besides, I have a lot of free time here."

"Why don't you learn some new spell from us, Leon?" Sylph asked.

"It will take too much time, and I will kill two birds with a single stone using the spells I already have and using them against myself," Leon explained. "Status-wise, learning new spells is more efficient, but I also need to train my elemental resistances before returning to Earth."

Even though they didn't have any memories of the last two hundred days, the spirits were quite worried about Leon's mental state. Only a few individuals were crazy enough to harm themselves to near-death points, and the chances of one escaping the training without mental issues were very low. Unlike them, Leon was pretty confident in his mental health because he could see one thing that tempted him every moment...

Teleport tome

Cooldown time: 5 seconds

Requirements: 10000 Intelligence, 5000 Control, Lv Max Checkpoint, Lv Max Transfer, Lv 100 Darkness Manipulation.

Cost: 0 or 10000000 coins. (Since you are stupid, I know you will spend your coins.)

Although Leon could buy it, he didn't have all the requirements to learn it. Besides, he was pretty sure that Ilyana decreased the prices... Regardless, Leon would have to find the spirit of darkness before he can have the chance to learn that.

In the end, Leon managed to level up around seventy percent of his skills up to level one hundred fifty in the next fifty days. It wasn't half bad. Still, Leon wasn't satisfied either... it couldn't be helped since he was basically torturing himself day in and day out. However, things changed when he completed the fiftieth run.

"Time never waits... I congratulate you, traveler. In enduring my trial up to this point," Sekundez's fragment said. "You have earned the right to see me. I'm waiting inside the temple."

Leon had a really hard time controlling himself not to say something that would put himself in a bad situation, but in the end, he avoided that. He walked toward the temple, and Leon finally noticed himself actually approaching the building. The place was huge, but it was only one hundred meters away from his original position.

"Try not to screw up after coming this far," Celsius said.

"It would be a pity to disappear, but I guess it would be pretty interesting seeing Leon picking a fight with such powerful spirit," Undine said.

"Bahahaha! If you want to fight the spirit of the time, you can count on my help!" Efreet declared. "Even I am bored after such trial... not to mention that everything you endured was just to meet them. What an egocentric excuse of a spirit!"

Leon ignored his spirits and just kept walking inside the totally dark temple. Although he thought of killing the spirit of time numerous times, now that he finally calmed down, Leon was fully aware that he didn't have any chance against it. The power of that fragment was far greater than Leon's. If they wanted, the spirit could torment Leon for all eternity, just making Leon experience thousands of times what he already experienced in that world.

Regardless, much to Leon's surprise, Sekundez's fragment actually was made of flesh and bones, unlike the other spirits. As usual, it had a humanoid body that was hard to identify if it was a male or female. But by judging by its voice, Leon concluded it was a female.

"Welcome, I'm one of the three fragments of Sekundez's, the spirit of the time," Sekundez's said.

"My name is Leon... I imagine that you already know why I am here,?? Leon narrowed his eyes and showed that run on his left arm. "But before going to the main topic, is one of your fragments with the woman who created this?"

"That is incorrect, the woman who created that also has a fragment like me, not a fragment of me," Sekundez explained.

"I see... is the third fragment in some part of the space like you or is with another being?" Leon asked.

"The third fragment is with someone else. I'm the only remaining fragment that can be found in the universe," Sekundez explained. "If you manage to show me that you deserve my cooperation. The original spirit of time will be the only one that still will be free."
