While Leon was sure that he could create or combine several spells, his brain wasn't working the way he wanted. He already knew that he wasn't a creative person, but after a few days without a single idea of new spells, Leon felt like an idiot. Regardless, Leon couldn't stay like that forever.
"I guess I will level up my skills up to level two hundred," Leon rubbed his chin. "By doing so, I will keep my mind busy, and perhaps I will obtain insight into new spells."
Two years have already passed since Sekundez's trial had started, and even though it was convenient to be in such a place, Leon once again was feeling restless since solving problems became a habit. Leon was almost forty years old, and even though most of the time, he felt strong and young like usual, he was also feeling the weight of his age, at least mentally.
"I never planned my life with detail... but I never imagined that I would be in a situation like this," Leon looked at the starry sky of the night while he imagined several things. "It is quite insane that someone like me had been forced to stay single and without having the chance to use the holy sword for so long. The fact that surprised me most is the fact that I didn't have gone mad... yet."
Leon recalled his high school and college years. Even though he wasn't a sex beast, he was quite carnivorous. Still, maybe it was because he wanted to avoid such depressing thoughts, but he was pretty sure that he wasn't mentally strong enough to endure such a situation for almost two decades. Most likely, the fall of the plane caused some irreparable damage to Leon's psyche and body. Damage that not even the all-purpose mana could help him to solve. Although that kind of problem saved Leon of a lot of trouble since he would have to stay in that dimension for a lot of time, it was still disheartening.
"Now that I think about it... Ilyana watched all my movements and is probably aware of the seal that had been put on the holy sword. Usually, despite everything, she tries to be quite cooperative in order to stay on my good side... but I guess even she wouldn't be shameless enough to offer an alternative to my problem directly. Perhaps she lived for so long that such a problem isn't even worth the hassle for her."
Although that was a very important subject for Leon, he still felt like he was wasting time and even digging his grave while thinking about such a thing in that dimension. Leon shook those thoughts of his head and focused on pursuing his new goal. In the end, Leon achieved his goal... but it took him two years.
"Oh, boy... that kept me occupied, but I didn't expect it would take so long," Leon said. "As expected, training skills will become even more difficult from now on. So, learning new ones will be vital."

"As expected, there isn't much difference between the golems of the second stage," Leon said. "Still... it took more time than I expected for Summon Magma Golem to reach the max level... probably because I focused too much on reaching the level two hundred in the other skills."
Although that been somewhat troublesome and a very slow process, Leon learned that he works best with short-term goals like that one. Most likely, Leon would have to spend four to five years to make his skills reach level two hundred and fifty, but as long as that keeps him busy, it was fine.

"I can combine several spells, but I forgot that I also could upgrade a few of them," Leon said.
Even though that was true, Leon only noticed that some spells could only be upgraded after he had enough intelligence. Although he didn't know the requirements for Flamethrower, he found a Fire Beam tome in Ilyana's vault, and that required ten thousand points in intelligence, and that was something Leon didn't have before meeting Ilyana. Also, much to his surprise, the tome disappeared from the vault after Leon learned Fire Beam alone.
"I didn't buy the tome, but I guess Ilyana did something to make me see only the tomes of spells that don't have," Leon rubbed his chin. "Clearly, mana can do a lot more than cause destruction, but I guess I'm only good for that."
