Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

552 Chapter 550

Thanks to Mind Melding, Omnilingualism, Mind Shifting, and Mind Absorption, Leon's notion of time started to deviate a little bit in that imaginary dimension. Aside from the time the relived some of his memories and the times he had some thoughts about certain things, he pretty much deleted his memories of that place. The sole exceptions were the times he learned and made skills reach the level max.

"According to my memories, I feel like I have been free for a couple of years," Leon said while he studied his mithril statues. "But according to those... twenty years have passed. Now I understand why the shadowy figure let me live, the bastard and probably all the other harvesters absorb the minds of anyone who might get in their way, and thus they obtain a huge deal of power pretty fast."

As usual, mentality and Mind Armor could counter those effects, but Leon's mentality was at a stupid low-level, and Leon saw many times his Mind Armor being ignored. Regardless, even though Leon had to get rid of the problem of time by deleting some of his memories, it looked like he would have to stop reliving the memories of the past. He had to do that to increase the passage of time even more, or at least to make him feel like the time was passing much faster.

It was weird, but Leon's memories were getting filled with only the moments where he received those notifications. He already knew the cause of it, but Leon couldn't help but feel weird considering that his life had become like a life of a superb magician. Most of Leon's new skills were quickly forgotten because of it... even though it was weird, it was also fine because Leon had no intention of using anything aside from his plasma skills since those were the combination of several elements.

"There is also a chance that the skills I will obtain thanks to the spirit of light and shadow will be more effective," Leon said. "Regardless... Ilyana probably has the same exact of power. Why didn't he use that on me? Using without consent would be unforgivable, but I can't why she never mentioned such a possibility. Was she considerate?"

After thinking for a while, Leon concluded that Ilyana wanted to experience many things. One of those was a failure. If Ilyana had helped with that kind of training since the very beginning, Leon wouldn't have lost to that guy who rescued the rat people.

"I wonder why she keeps so many secrets..." Leon rubbed his chin. "She isn't young anymore to think that trying to look mysterious will make her look cool, so it doesn't make any sense."

p Although Leon didn't find a proper explanation for that, he decided not to delete those memories. In the end, he had to keep some doubts in his mind in order not to fall for any tricks or traps. After that, Leon resumed his magical training.

Now and then, Leon would have some inspiration for new spells, but not even the monsters had that many skills that he didn't have. So, Leon was thinking about level up all his skills again. This time he decided to do it since the monsters didn't have any new skills as of late. As expected, even though Leon spent years doing that, he only kept the memories of a few moments.

"One, two, tree... twenty-nine statues," Leon counted the mithril statues that he created while he was training all his spells. "I spent eight years training all those skills only to reach level two hundred and fifty. As expected, I need to fight against strong monsters."

It would take a while for that to happen because Leon only focused on training himself and helping Darya, he didn't find many types of monsters in Miebos, but it looked like the number of species increased instead decreasing. Regardless, even though there wasn't much to see or experience in that place, Leon felt like his life was a game that only had cutscenes, and he was skipping all of those.

"Shit... since I so focused on training my skills, I forgot to learn a new summon," Leon bit his lips, annoyed.

Leon already imagined that something like that might happen, but he didn't notice that he would overlook such important detail for long. Still, so he relaxed because the ghost-swords were monsters that only appeared in worlds on the third stage of assimilation. In the worst-case scenario, only one or two years must have passed since the time the skill reached the max level. Still, thanks to that fact, Leon finally noticed another thing that he had overlooked.

Summon Skeleton tome

Cost: 1000 mana

Cooldown time: 10 seconds

Cost: 0 and 5,000,000 coins.

"Oh, boy... I can't believe I forgot this too," Leon, without a hint of hesitation, learned the spell.

It couldn't be helped, but forgetting the skill he used to solve so many problems made Leon feel like he was really getting old. Regardless, unlike the skills he lost, that one only summoned an ordinary skeleton, but only meant the skill had several variations and upgrades. So, without wasting any time, Leon began to use it.
