Chapter 433

Once Leon returned to Ilyana's world, he wondered how he should proceed. Ask the location of another spirit or just train some of his skills in order to obtain status points.

"I forgot about the plants I used to solve Celsius' problem... I guess I will use them for training my skills up to level fifty. But first... I should inform Ilyana about my arrival, she already knows that I returned, but the visitor still had to greet the owner of the house... or in this case, the owner of the planet."

Ilyana was just like always, sitting cross-legged in the middle of her massive castle, Her eyes were closed, it looked like she was using Zen... but somehow the elementals still were appearing around her every five seconds. Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

"You have returned..." Ilyana said.

"Sorry to disturb you, I just came to inform you that I returned," Leon said.

"What spirit are you going to look for next?" Ilyana asked.

"I think I will level up my skills up to the level fifty-first," Leon said. "I just noticed that my offensive attacks grew a lot, and I want to increase it even more in case something happens. I will come to ask for the location of the next spirit later."

"All right," Ilyana nodded.

Leon left the castle using Transfer and then headed toward his plantation of leaves. He forgot to ask how she could keep Zen active and then use other skills at the same time, but it was probably something Leon couldn't emulate for the time being. Besides, he could always ask later.

"I should also ask the real differences between Transfer and Teleport... well, everything in its due time."

It would take a while, but considering the order in his active skills list, Leon would have to train Lightning first... he would have to start with the most troublesome one. But it was better than letting that for latter and in the end skipping the skill because of its cost and cooldown time.

"Mmm... one week to level up five skill twenty times. Since their costs aren't high but low either, it is difficult to level them up without targets."

"Then why don't you ask for that woman to use her elementals as targets?" Celsius asked.

"I don't want to bother her with it..." Leon answered. "She is doing her own things to get the revenge she wants, and I don't want to get on her way."

"You really worry about the stupidest things..." Celsius sighed. "She can create elementals every five seconds... It won't change anything for her if you kill one or two thousands of them."

Leon wished he could be so positive like that. Still, even though the spirits that were with Leon were probably older than him, they couldn't fully understand his worries and problems. They were sentient beings, but they weren't people like Leon and Ilyana that at some point were only ordinary people. Besides, their existences were different. For numerous reasons and because Leon solved his problems alone until now, he wanted to rely only on himself. Using Ilyana's knowledge would be something that would go against that logic, but don't use it would be stupid.

Considering the things Ilyana could do, it wouldn't be strange if she could read Leon's memories like a comic book... so, it was clear for her that Leon wouldn't betray her and join the dark side... probably. So, she wasn't losing all that much by giving Leon the knowledge he wanted, and she also was training a possible useful ally.

Regardless, Leon leveled up thirteen other skills up to level fifty the next two weeks. Although his status was growing nicely, just practicing spells without real targets were boring and not very efficient.

"Since my goal became something massive... I'm losing sight of things like small accomplishments. Strength is also only a means to an end for me, so I can't be excited even though it is clear that I'm growing stronger... Anyway, I will continue with this later."

Leon was having motivational problems again unless he finds a real obstacle to surpass or get his ass-kicked, it was unlikely that he would overcome that anytime soon. His enemies can't be found using reasonable means, and Leon would only fight them in hundreds of years. So, it couldn't be helped that he was getting unmotivated.

"Can you stop making such a pathetic face?" Celsius asked. "It is very annoying to see you showing that kind of expression."

"We can solve that easily!" Sylph declared. "Let's play tag!"

"Bahahaha! Nothing like a good battle to raise the spirits! Let's fight, Leon." Efreet laughed maniacally like usual.

Leon scratched the back of his head and then let out a long sigh. It looked like the 'voices' in his head wouldn't let him waste time with useless thoughts. Although they were noisy and troublesome, Leon was thankful for that.

Instead of training or looking for another spirit, Leon decided to materialize Sylph, Celsius, and Efreet and let them make noise outside his head. He had to keep using Mana Liquid in order to keep them materialized, but in the end, it had been worth the hassle since their voices didn't let Leon think about useless things.
