Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

606 Chapter 604

In a different manner than Undine, it was hard to understand what Sekundez was thinking or feeling. She seemed like a spirit who didn't care much about anything, and that was what made things pretty complicated. But Leon felt a slight tone of worry from her voice... it looked as if she had some experience with that kind of dangerous action.

"Thanks for your concern, but this is absolutely necessary," Leon forced a smile while ignoring the headache. "Besides, it is just the beginning since I also have to train your skills, and I will need more mana to do so."

Most likely, that headache wouldn't decrease if Leon increases his mentality or endurance... because he was damaging his spirit directly by forcing it to obtain mana much faster than his current body can handle.

"Anyway, I guess it is time for you to explain what the skills I learned can do," Leon said. "Based on the knowledge, I will be able to focus on the most useful skills first."

"First, I'm going explain what the passive skills can do," Sekundez said. "Temporal Armor can nullify the effects of time manipulation if someone uses that power against you. However, it works like Mind Armor. It will only work as long as you have mana. As for Death Sense, it is also another self-explanatory skill. Usually, beings that have a lot of mana like you can live much longer, but there are many ways to die without aging... Death Sense will alert you about your death. You will feel like life is leaving your body... the best way to counter that effect is by leaving the place where you are or fleeing from the battle. As long as you get away from whatever will cause your death, those effects will disappear."

"Interesting... what about Temporal Awareness?" Leon asked.

"That skill will warn you if someone or something suffered from the effects of Time Manipulation," Sekundez replied. "Some users of Time Manipulation may try to use the time to destroy objects and memories of living beings by making time pass faster or even backward. As soon as you get close to anything that has been suffered under those effects, you will notice it."

Leon wasn't sure about how much that skill could be useful, but most likely, once Leon is powerful enough, he would be able to restore the memories of certain people and the effects of magic items. However, that was dangerous... if Leon tries to make Darya recover her memories about him or even his friends from Earth, they will lose their powers as well as the other memories. In any case, Leon didn't have to use that kind of power... there was another way to restore lost memories.

"Stop is another self-explanatory skill," Sekundez said. "As long as your target's mentality is lower than your intelligence, you can stop their flow of time. Since that kind of skill can't become more powerful, it will become more efficient and cost less mana the more you level it up."

,m Although that was useful, Leon could think of a dozen of ways to stop a target from moving without spending so much mana. Still, Stop was more powerful because it didn't grant the chance for the target to react in any way. The problem was the requirement for the skill to work... Leon wouldn't be able to use it against dragons.

"Accelerate does exactly that. It increases the speed and flow of time of certain things," Sekundez added. "Although it can work on humans, it has limits. For example, the skill will be canceled if you suffer any type of damage or touches something that has mana. So, it isn't that convenient to use in the middle of a battle. As for its effects, each level increases the flow of time one time. At the level of one hundred, you will be able to increase the flow of time in your mindscape by one hundred times. At the max level, you can speed the flow of time as much as you want, just like you are using Mana Magnetism, but consume of mana will increase exponentially as well."

Leon nodded, it would be useful, but the weaknesses were troublesome. Most likely, if Leon wanted to speed the flow of time two thousand times, he would have to spend the double of mana and so on... Considering the effects of the mindscape, time will pass ten times faster at the level max without Leon's interference. So, Leon would have to spend twenty thousand mana points to give someone the chance to train in a friendly environment for almost three hours while just one second would pass in reality.

"This will be useful... and about Time Manipulation," Leon said.

"Using that spell, you will be able to make the time pass forward forcefully or backward of someone or something without their notice," Sekundez said. "However, the more mana something or someone has, the more mana you will have to spend."

"I see... Well, I guess it is obvious that I have to use Accelerate first," Leon nodded to himself. "By the way, how do I use that spell to increase the speed of the things that happen on my mindscape?"

"Just wish for it, and it will happen," Sekundez replied.

Leon wondered if it could be so simple, but he did that, and then his mana started to decrease even faster. In the end, Leon only managed to keep all spells active for a little more than twenty seconds. Much to his surprise, his spirits didn't return when Mindscape Transportation was deactivated... they would stay there just like his replica unless Leon wishes for them to return.

"What a fearsome power..." Leon muttered.
