Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

595 Chapter 593

As expected, the next day, the level of the dragons increased. Although Leon had to keep a high level of caution to avoid unpleasant surprises, things looked good for the time being. However, at that rate, he would run out of mana fruits, and the mana stored in his soul eaters would end in more or less two months...

"Now that I think about it... why dragons are the first monsters that appeared on the fifth stage of assimilation?" Leon rubbed his chin. "Ilyana said that they would return, but she didn't say the exact time... considering everything I saw so far, only the weakest monsters would appear first on each stage."

Aside from the galactic snake, the shadowy figure, the lizard bastard, and Ilyana, Leon didn't know anything more powerful than dragons. Not even Crik could deal with them solo... there was also the woman who Ilyana wants to kill, but Leon knew close to nothing about her.

Regardless, if Leon would face monsters even stronger than dragons in that dimension, he had to prepare himself accordingly. However, in the end, the only thing way he thought of to deal with the dragons as efficiently as possible was to by returning to his past self... where he used weapons instead of only one use spells.

"I don't have much of choice... it is a pain to rely on weapons again, but by doing so, I will be able to save a lot of mana and thus train other spells."

To save himself of some trouble, Leon decided to take some risks. He still had enough mana stored to kill dragons for two months. However, he sacrificed half of that to create a single mithril spear. It wasn't the size of the one he used to kill the galactic snake, but it was at the same level since Leon got more used to weapons creation, and even his skills leveled up.

"Woah... what a scary name for a weapon," Leon frowned.

Although Leon created that weapon in less than a second, the spear even received a name, unlike the usual 'mithril spear.' Regardless, the power behind it was real, and Leon could still enchant the weapon one hundred times to further increase its power... it would be great if he could create a specialized weapon to kill dragons, but so far, he didn't obtain such effect.

The spear was fifty meters long and weighed over fifty tons. Just to have that weapon under his control, Leon had to spend five thousand points of mana per second. So, considering that, he made some adjustments. First of all, he created a hollow space inside the weapon where he could stay. After that, Leon used spirits that could use Mana Absorption... that way, whenever he attacks a monster, the weapon would drain its mana and transfer to Leon.

Misery's End (+ 100)

It grants you: Strength + 350000, Endurance + 350000, Speed + 350000

Automatic Effects: Mana Absorption (Drains ten thousand points of mana per second from enemies.)

"What? The effect of the skill increased as well?" Leon said, shocked.

Putting aside the stupid status bonus that Leon already knew he would obtain, the automatic effects were just too good to be true... in any case, since Leon didn't have a lot of endurance, strength, and speed, only a small fraction of the bonus could be applied. But that didn't matter since Leon could use his magic to attack.

It was quite a powerful weapon, even though Leon created in less than a minute... Regardless, it was time to test it. Another group of fire dragons appeared, and even though they could move faster than Leon could control the spear, he closed the distance between them by using Transfer. From a random fire dragon's blind spot, Leon fired his gigantic spear. However, even though Leon didn't hold back, the spear only managed to pierce the dragon's skull... it didn't hit the brain.

"Just another push..." Leon muttered.

Instead of retrieving the spear, Leon increased its weight by using Gravity... he could have done that and increased its power, but he forgot about it. He also could increase the piercing power by making the spear spin... but he forgot that as well. In any case, Leon noticed that and made the mental notes to apply that later.

Eventually, the mithril spear hit the dragon's brain, and the creature screamed, but just for a moment. The brain wasn't that resistance, so it quickly got destroyed.

Congratulations! The skill Spearmanship has leveled up.

...

Before Leon could even celebrate the good result of the test, the other dragons were already about to fry him alive with their breath attacks. However, Leon used Transfer and escaped the danger. This time he didn't forget to add spin and the decrease the spear's weight before shooting... the result of that attack scared even Leon. The dragon's head got destroyed beyond recognition.

Leon would never forget that moment for many reasons. One of them was because that day, and at that moment, the dragons looked at him, and he saw fear in their eyes.
