Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

615 Chapter 613

"Well, then. Shall I give you my powers immediately? Or do you want to drain all the mana I stored before that?" Rem asked.

"Huh?" Leon frowned. "What about the trials?"

Leon got caught by surprise when he heard that, but in the end, it wasn't that surprising that a spirit could read his mind and even his memories to some extent. Sekundez could do a lot of things, after all. That being said, finding a so cooperative spirit raised a lot of questions in his head. Also, considering Sekundez warnings, Leon imagined he would have a hard time convincing a pacifist spirit to help someone like him who wanted to protect Earth and his friends no matter what.

"You found me and destroyed my defensive spell in the blink of an eye," Rem replied. "That is more than enough for you to obtain my powers and total cooperation. Besides, I know what you want to do with my powers, and I don't have any reason not to help someone who wants to protect others."

The reasoning was sound, but Leon couldn't help but feel weird, given that the spirit of light was too cooperative. Regardless, in the end, that only would help him… Leon didn't have time to waste since Earth was in danger, and his friends were fighting for their lives.

"All right, then. Thank you for understanding my situation and for deciding to help me," Leon said.

In the end, Leon spent two hours draining the mana stored in Rem's body. Still, he stopped when his mana was around twenty percent remaining. Leon didn't want to risk killing the spirit, after all.

"Hello, everyone," Rem said already inside Leon's head. "It is nice to meet you. As you are aware, I'm Rem's fragment. Since we are allies now, I hope that we can get along."

"Sure," Celsius said.

"You look strong," Efreet said. "How about we test our powers once you reach the max level?"

"Something smells fishy with you," Undine said.

Although Leon shared Undine's feelings, at least he wasn't worrying all that much since Rem was pretty considerate and polite. Still, as usual, Leon soon understood that Rem was a pain in the ass just like Shadow… but in a totally different sense.

???Heh, so you were the first spirit who decided to follow, Leon," Rem said. "It seems you had a lot of fun with him since then."

"So, you like to fight against Leon now and then, Efreet," Rem said. "That is very impressive considering that we are basically a part of his power, and we will never be able to surpass him in terms of raw strength."

"As expected of Gnome!" Rem said. "You managed to convince our master to give you mana to create your own labyrinth. That is very impressive since that isn't something that would help him in any way."

If Shadow was like a depressive teen, Rem was a happy-go-looking guy who liked to talk a lot and even access the memories of everyone without asking for permission. He was a real chatterbox and couldn't see how problematic it was for everyone that he was reading their memories. Although Leon could do something similar, he would never do that to his allies.

"In any case, I think you should join Shadow to recover your power as fast as possible," Leon said.

Before Rem could give him an answer, Leon used Mindscape Transportation and sent Rem to his mindscape. He wanted to hear some explanations of the skill he just received, but considering Rem's behavior, that would only annoy Leon instead of informing him.

Light Manipulation was a self-explanatory skill. Although it was powerful, the logic behind now that Leon had Rem's cooperation was relatively simple. The same could be applied to Light solidification. By using some extra mana, Leon could solidify things made of light. That would be useful in the future…

"Light Aura… I thought that was the skill that granted the angels the power to keep that small sphere form, but I was wrong," Leon rubbed his chin. "That skill is Light Sphere Transformation… by using that skill, I will be able to increase my defenses and probably use Light-Speed movement without damaging my body."

The only skill Leon had no idea how truly worked was True Damage, but after some tests, he quickly understood what that could do. In essence, with that skill, Leon could attack the health, mana, and stamina of his enemies directly and ignore their defenses completely. Leon couldn't help but grim after noticing that.

"… It is too soon to get excited," Leon shook his head. "Although I finally obtained the cooperation of all spirits, I'm still far from reaching my goal."

As usual, Leon decided to assimilate the knowledge and experience his replica obtained to calm down. After that, Leon began to concentrate because his next steps would need to be carefully selected.
