Since Leon wanted to have all his skills to be higher than the level twenty, it took some time for him to level up his new ones. Still, instead of learning of the ones he had in mind, Leon decided to buy some tomes from Ilyana's storage. It was time to make good use of the coins he obtained.

"Easy come and easy go..." Leon sighed. "Sixty million coins in just three spells. Although they will be useful, I can't help but wonder if Ilyana just didn't put some random prices. Although she did many things to help me, she doesn't look to be the type of woman who would go to such lengths in order to do everything perfectly."

Regardless, Leon put too good use of his new skills and tried them on the current monsters that were leaving the ocean... the velociraptors. Leon only wanted to test the skill but soon regret it a little when he made the small yellow could fly toward a monster's head. Ten seconds later, the creature fell on the floor dead, and its head lost all the flesh. Leon felt shivers while looking at it.
"Oh boy... what a scary spell," Leon said it is only at level one and already can kill a velociraptor easily. Well, the velociraptors aren't that strong yet, but even so..."
The number of mithril statues was increasing, but it looked like it would take a while before Leon sees the ocean spawning the monsters that can only be found in worlds that are on the second stage of assimilation. Although it wasn't wrong to keep that pace, because Leon liked to be surprised in that dimension, the fact that Leon didn't have to lift a finger to defeat them was a terrible drawback.
"Mmm... I wonder why I didn't see any boss until now," Leon frowned. "Usually, bosses are pretty big, and even though the monsters at level max are strong, I can't imagine they being the bosses of their species."
At first, Leon thought that bosses were just evolved forms of the monsters of a dungeon, but since he found several dungeons with different types of monsters, he confirmed that that wasn't the case even though that same theory could apply to some monsters.
Regardless, after leveling up the skills he learned by using tomes, Leon practiced a few more ones that he had in mind. He couldn't help but wonder why he didn't think of those before... it was probably due to his worries. Fortunately, he decided to write on a rock the spells he thought about it during those two years, and Leon would do the same if he has a few more.

"Learning new spells would be much easier if everyone were with me... even the noisy ones like Efreet and Gnome would be a good company now," Leon forced a smile after a long sigh.
That was the fourth time, the fourth time that Leon was forced by an external factor to stay alone and don't have any contact with anyone. The airplane crash, his kidnapping, his presentment inside the galactic snake... Four crazy situations, and in all of them, Leon was forced to stay in a stranger place where he had no one to rely on. Leon didn't believe that forces like destiny and fate could exist, but it was like someone or something was telling him that it was his destiny to be alone and endure such hardships quite frequently.
"Well, perhaps once I leave this place, I will have enough power to deny and maybe go against those forces fully," Leon said. "Still, it will be useless unless I reach my final goal."
Leon decided to put those thoughts aside, and while he practiced his new spells, Leon searched on Ilyana's vault for a tome that would grant him the same power that she has, the power to use Zen and still be able to use spells. Although Leon could keep using Zen and doing other things, some extra status points were always welcomed.
"Mind Creation and Divided Mind..." Leon found two tomes that were most likely the ones Ilyana uses. "Each tome cost one hundred million coins... Well, I already expected such crazy prices. Still, to be able to create minds and divide my own mind is kind of scary. Isn't the same as creating my own splitting personalities? Maybe with that, I won't feel so lonely anymore, but I wonder how such a splitting personality would work, considering that it would never obtain control over my body."
