Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

620 Chapter 618

After Efreet reached the level two hundred, it was Sylph's turn to evolve. Although Mana Magnetism was little by little becoming more powerful, it would take at the very least ten days for him to evolve. However, Leon kind of wanted to focus more on that because he was eager to see the new form of his spirits.

"Boy, oh boy… even though I try to learn skills that don't consume so much mana, it looks like it is a waste of time," Leon said after a long sigh. "In any case, my replica did well in learning the ranged versions of Haste and Slow. It would be great if I could use skills Herculean Strength on my allies, but I'm pretty sure it isn't possible."

Although Leon was learning several spells and growing strong quite fast, he felt like his mana wasn't growing like before. It was only evident given that he was forced to recover and spend almost thirty thousand mana points per minute, but it was troublesome not to be able to use Mana Sacrifice like before.

"Well, this shouldn't be a problem. Eventually, I will run out of skills to learn… so I will use Mana Sacrifice like there was no tomorrow until I discover new spells to learn," Leon nodded to himself.

That would only happen once Leon makes all his skills reach the max level, but given that his replica is working hard, it shouldn't take long for that to happen.

Congratulations! The skill Summon Rem's Fragment has reached the max level.

"It looks like some interesting things happened while I was away," Rem appeared already smiling brightly. "When will it be my turn to evolve?"

"I should have asked to evolve first…" Shadow said and then sighed.

"You will be the last, Rem," Leon answered.

"Why?" Rem asked, shocked.

"Because you were the last spirit that joined my side," Leon replied. "It is only obvious that you turn will be the last. Just hang in there and don't bother me all that much."

Leon thought of motivating his spirits to work by promising them that their turns might come sooner if they teach more simple spells to his replica, but that wouldn't be fair. In any case, after seeing Efreet evolving, even the usual calm and quiet Volt expressed his wish to evolve. That was quite surprising that they didn't show any interest in getting stronger faster than before… maybe there was some hierarchy among the spirits, and Leon wasn't aware of it. Or perhaps all of them were just that competitive.

As expected, things got quite noisy now that Rem and Shadow were in the place. Although Shadow was a bit depressed, the other spirits already got used to his presence and behavior. Basically, he was just lazy… so treating him as such would be less annoying for everyone else.

"Mmm… it looks like Efreet was to stay on my good side, and he is teaching some spells to my replica," Leon rubbed his chin. "Most likely, he wants to become the first to evolve again if there is a chance to make the spirits evolve again."

Although making the spirits stronger was a very interesting way to increase his own power, Leon didn't know if he would have that much time. Although time on Earth was passing ten times faster, everything could change in the blink of an eye, and Leon would have to return to Earth and cancel Accelerate and Mind Transportation… it would be insane to fight harvesters while trying to maintain such high-cost spells, after all.

By Leon's calculation, at the max level, the original Efreet would be at the max level, more than one hundred times stronger than a lesser fragment at the max level. While an ally like that would be useful, it would cost too much mana to keep and to evolve such spirit active. Considering that Leon had to spend one billion mana points to make Efreet evolve, in the best-case scenario, he would need one trillion mana points next time… Leon couldn't even imagine how many skills he could level up to the max level by using a massive amount of mana.

"In any case, I don't have much of choice there," Leon rubbed his chin. "One of the safest methods to deal with my opponents would be by trapping them using Mindscape Transportation. While my replica will have the same chances of winning against any opponent, things will work better if he has the support of the spirits."

In fact, making his spirits become as powerful as their originals were probably the key to make Leon use Accelerate and Mindscape Transportation on himself without worrying about enemy attacks. Most likely, they would be able to stop any harvester and gain some time once they reach the apex of their strength.
