356 Chapter 355

"Thank you very much." Leon smiled in satisfaction.

Thunder Resistance leveled up to the level two hundred, and Leon once again obtained the points for each level up. The Thunder Blessing he was already expected to receive; that being said, Leon thought he would be able to summon a more powerful spirit, not another lesser spirit... Regardless, Leon forgot about that when he saw the description of Electric Armor.

Electric Armor: A spell that envelopes your body in electricity. It increases your speed, strength, endurance, and the power of your electric attacks by a certain percentage that equals the level of the skill.

Cost: 100 mana per second

"The cost is a bit high... but I guess it is the thunder version of Dark Aura. I won't be able to teleport, but it will increase my speed exponentially. However, the stronger it becomes..., the more difficult it will become to keep the skill active for longer periods of time... that is probably one of the reasons Thunder Resistance is now level two hundred."

It was a pretty good power-up, Leon now could count on three lesser spirits to help him, and he also would be able to learn thunder spells faster. There was no reason for him to feel unsatisfied.

"May I ask you a question?" Leon asked.

"Another one?" Volt asked.

"Yes... do you know where I can find other spirits?" Leon asked.

"Yes, you can go to the planet of angels," Volt answered. "You will find the fragment of the spirit of light there. Receiving his cooperation will probably be impossible."

"Why?" Leon frowned.

"You killed a lot of the people who worshiped him," Volt explained. "Even though they didn't have, the angels offered him many offerings over the decades. Thanks to those offerings, he will be able to live for hundreds of thousands of years. So I doubt that he will have any interest in negotiating with you."

"I see..." Leon looked away, disappointed.

Leon could always kill a spirit in order to obtain a part of its power, but that would probably make things difficult if he finds another spirit and notices what he did. Besides, Leon decided not to think of that, since spirits could read his mind by the movement of his mana...

"Well, I can always find another spirit of thunder somewhere else..." Leon said. "There is another spirit nearby?"

"... There is someone who killed another spirit. You can go to his world if you return to Miebos." Volt said.

"Ah, that guy..." Leon said. "I guess I won't be able to find the spirit of shadow there, but I will be able to recover a part of his power."

"Indeed. Although you can't defeat him now, you will receive almost the same amount of power I gave you," Volt explained. "That being killed a fragment which was far stronger than me, so most likely, you will receive a huge deal of power."

Leon turned and walked toward the exit of the dungeon, and he only started to think about what he heard when he left the mountain. It was hard to be sure, but there was a possibility that Volt also tempted him with promises of power.

"Considering Volt's words and brief hesitation... he wants that shadowy figure dead. Well, it is obvious considering that he killed a spirit to obtain its power, but his actions were still a bit dubious... considering that he has been alive only for twenty years or so..."

Regardless, it looks like Leon won't obtain the spirit of light's power for the time being since he caused the end of the race that more or less worshiped him. It was a pity, but Leon couldn't always get what he wanted.

"Well, I can't waste time, and should it level up as much as I can..."

Leon activated Electric Armor, and he felt all his body really ticklish, the spell was really above his skin, but the electricity wasn't wounding him in any way. However...

The more the skill leveled up, the bigger the discomfort grew... It didn't take long before Leon could feel his skin burning. Thanks to Thunder Resistance, his body wasn't getting numb, but the damage was there.

"As expected... the cost to keep such useful skill active isn't only mana. Still... I have no other option but to endure this. This spell is too useful to ignore."

That being said, Leon's primary goal was to return to Earth, so he couldn't just ignore everything to level up Electric Armor. The list of useful skills Leon had to level up was increasing... but it couldn't be helped. He wanted to cross the universe, after all. Such a task couldn't be done with guts alone.

Leon returned to the biggest continent of Celosie and then started to use Mana-Eater and drain the mana of the magic circle. He had no idea for how long he would have to do that, but he was decided to stop only when the mana of the magic circle disappears or until he manages to see Earth using his telescope.

"This will take a long time... I guess I shouldn't keep thinking about that and should just start..."

Leon sat on the ground and started to use Mana-Eater...
