Chapter 564

While Leon was training Spell Breaker, he had a few ideas for new spells. As usual, he only managed to think of powerful spells that caused a lot of destruction, but it was better than nothing.

By combining oil and fire, Leon could crease the temperate of his fire attacks, but it was quite difficult to give it shape by using such combinations. So, the only thing Leon could really do with it was to cause chaos. Ablaze was a sphere of oil that would burn once it hits an enemy. Sea of Fire was just a little more oil that was thrown at a certain area, and then it would burn. Meanwhile, Fiery Hail was a rain of oil... and the droplets would burn everything it touches like acid.

"Oh boy... why I always create some nasty spells?" Leon frowned while he watched the Scylla burning even underwater.

Acid Eruption was no better... usually, Leon would use acid, and the monster would suffer damage from head to toe. But with that skill, they would lose their legs first and scream until the death. Fortunately, Absolute Zero was the instant version of Frost Nova. By shooting a sphere of concentrated ice in an area, everything around would freeze to death and become a statue of ice.

"Maybe I should learn more ice spells," Leon said. "Although they kill as fast as any other spell, those don't make the monsters suffer... probably."

Thanks to that kind of thinking, Leon remembered that he could learn some types of a skeleton he had forgotten previously. Those were the ice skeletons... and since they had that element, it was very likely that Leon could find tomes that would teach him to summon fire and possibly thunder skeletons.

Just as Leon had expected, he found them. Despite the fact that those creatures had some serious elemental weaknesses, Leon brought them for two hundred millions each. It wasn't cheap, but Leon had more than a few coins to spend.

"I barely have enough mana to summon them..." Leon sighed. "Anyway, even though I don't have to use summons all that frequently, not learning the spells would be too much of a waste."

Leon decided to make his skeletons do the job for a while until he levels up Spell Breaker to the max level, but only that wasn't enough for him. Creating a copy of himself to increase the speed of his training was also a goal that he wouldn't reach anytime soon, so Leon had no choice but to find another midterm goal to make things interesting.

"Mmm... maybe it is about time to learn how to absorb elemental spells," Leon rubbed his chin. "My spirits didn't teach me that yet, but most likely, isn't a skill that I will obtain once a find some more powerful fragment. In any case, since they didn't teach me that before, it only means that I didn't have the necessary requirements for it."

Like most skills, Leon's elementary resistances were probably the lowest level of skills in a skill tree. It was hard to be sure, but after Fire Resistance, the next of that skill would be Fire Immunity, and the next would be Fire Absorption. The other elemental resistances certainly worked in that manner. Considering that not even the most helpful spirits like Volt and Celsius taught him that, it was clear that Leon needed to have the elemental resistances at the max level before learning the improved versions.

"I guess that is impossible for the time being..." Leon concluded. "Shall I make good of the mana stored in the magic boxes and soul steals?"

Although that was a difficult goal to reach, a taste of that power would probably motivate Leon quite a lot. By his calculations, Leon concluded that by using all the mana in a single magic box, he could keep a copy of himself active for one hour. It wouldn't be enough to train decently enough, but Leon wanted to see what a copy of himself could do.

Without wasting time, Leon created a copy, and since he and the copy had a mental link, they didn't to talk. So, the copy just grabbed one soul eater and started to fight against the monsters that were coming from the sea. The speed, strength... everything was on the same level as Leon's. However, the copy didn't have mana, it could use all Leon's spells, but it would consume Leon's own mana to it.

"Well, well... this is very surprising," Leon smirked.

It was weird. Leon felt his own body gaining the battle experience, even though he was only losing mana. In any case, it was a stupid skill that consumed thirty thousand mana points for second. It would take hundreds of years before Leon truly use that skill effectively.
