Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

608 Chapter 606

Since Leon's list of spells that he had to learn was quickly getting smaller, he began to wonder about Sekundez's skills. She lost her powers when she became Leon's ally, but eventually, she would recover her powers. The question was: would she be able to replicate a copy of that dimension?

"In the end, it isn't necessary..." Leon nodded to himself. "Sekundez will use my mana to summon every single monster, after all. So, the quickest way for her to do that is by increasing my own mana pool."

"Why are you talking about me as if I'm not hearing?" Sekundez frowned.

"It became a habit of speaking my mind out loud..." Leon replied. "A few centuries of isolation is enough to do that."

Little by little, Leon was increasing the scope of Mana Magnetism, so the time his replica had to train was also increasing. Sometimes his replica decided to train some spells on his own, but Leon didn't feel any harm in that because most of the time, the replica would think like Leon. Just like the replica, Leon also had decided to learn the new skills in that order, but now that he received the notifications, Leon couldn't help but wonder why he would learn so many nasty spells in a row...

"Now that I think about it... it is probably possible to use Mindscape Transportation on myself and leave a replica controlling my real body," Leon rubbed his chin. "That way, I will be able to use Mana Sacrifice quite a lot."

"That isn't possible," Sekundez said.

"Why?" Leon frowned.

"Because the moment you use a copy of yourself controlling your body, that copy will become the owner of the body," Sekundez's explained. "You still can increase your mana pool by using Mana Sacrifice, but only if you are the owner of your body... only the original conscience can use that skill."

Leon dropped his shoulders and sighed. As expected, having so many restrictions was a pain... In the past, Leon thought that being a magician was the quickest path to become strong, but now that he had a come long way, he knew that it was a path full of restrictions.

In the end, there was no easy way to obtain true power. Leon only learned that after fighting for four hundred years... as expected, he was terrible at learning things. He wanted the power to protect his family and friends, but he was only good at destroying things... it would be comic if it weren't tragic.

Regardless, even though Leon was getting used to that headache, he was getting annoyed to the point of thinking of learning a way to cancel that pain. Since Leon still had access to Ilyana's vault, he looked for such a thing there, but as expected, he didn't a quick way to solve his problems.

"Whatever... I just have to get used to the pain," Leon shrugged. "Hey, Sekundez, do you think I can use Time Manipulation to make time move backward in a single area of my brain? If I do that, I will be able to cancel the headache."

"It is impossible to use time magic to counter such effects," Sekundez replied. "But like I said before, this pain is caused because you are restoring mana too fast, and mana is stored in your spirit, not your brain. Your spirit is being damaged by such actions... even though you feel like it is your brain that is suffering."

"How about making the time flow backward one second constantly for my spirit in order to cancel those effects?" Leon asked.

"You are just ignoring my main point," Sekundez added. "Although you can probably do that, it won't solve the problem. It will only grant you momentary relief. Let me say one thing straight... your spirit is the reason of your existence is where your memories and feelings are actually stored. If you mess or damaged it too much, someday you won't recognize yourself in the mirror, and you will end up becoming the very thing you hate the most."

The very thing Leon hates the most... he had no idea what that was. If Leon had to pick one thing, he would say that he hated the woman who Ilyana is hunting. However, that wasn't true hate... it is hard for someone to hate another person who they never saw. Leon also hated the lizard bastard and the shadowy figure... but he felt that hate for so long that such feeling was slowly fading away.

"I guess this is better than feeling nothing but hate... even so..." Leon frowned.

In the end, thinking too much about it wouldn't help Leon, and his doubts would only increase. Instead of worrying about that, Leon focused on his training.

"Yeah... I should focus on my current problems," Leon said to himself. "I will leave my future problems for the future me."
