In the end, it took Leon thirty years for him to make all his elemental immunities reached the level max. After those thirty years, the zombies were still coming, but the mechanical wargs could stop their advance with ease.
"I can finally focus on learning new skills again..." Leon said and then sighed.
Although Leon could have done both at the same time, Leon decided to focus as much as possible on just one task in order to focus on the other later. Unfortunately, Leon was already wondering about the elemental absorptions..., but as usual, a few skills to learn and level up were what he needed to focus himself again.

"Now that I mastered the elemental immunities, the best choice would be to learn the elemental absorptions because those skills would be a third layer of defense," Leon muttered. "That being said, I have a feeling that dragons will let me learn that much faster than trying to do it on my own."
It would be too easy if the requirements to learn elemental absorptions were the max level at the elemental immunities and a certain number in mentality. Although the upgraded version of certain skills can be learned by doing simple things, Leon doubted that it would be as easy to something so useful as the elemental absorption skills. At least that was his instincts were telling him. So far, they never failed Leon, so he decided to listen to them.
"Well, if the worst-case happens, I doubt that even the dragons of the fifty stage can survive for long if I make them eat plasma or poison," Leon shrugged. "Still, just to be safe, I guess I will level up some offensive skills to the max level before this horde of zombies come to an end."
Although it was possible that Leon would find some poisonous dragons or even acid dragons, he doubted that he could find a plasma dragon... so that kind of skill would be useful against them if they show themselves to be stronger than expected.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Plasma Lance.
Cost: 5000 mana
You obtained 01 status points.
Before anything, Leon decided to learn Plasma Lance since that would be the easiest and perhaps one of the powerful weapons he could trainalone. After that, he stopped from learning new skills and trained all the plasma related skills. Plasma Bullet, Plasma Arrow, Plasma Bomb, Plasma shield... since they all combined the strength of the basic elements, it took quite a while to level up all of them to the max level. It took Leon fifteen years...
"Since I managed to learn all elemental immunities, perhaps I will find some dragons that have all of them, and the power behind it will decrease..." Leon rubbed his chin. "If that happens... I guess I will have to make do with my fists alone."
Although Leon said that, he had no intention of training his physical skills to the limit for the time being. He was determined to level up them at the same pace as the other ones.
"I wonder if I also should do some strength training..." Leon rubbed his chin. "My strength, dexterity, and speed will never be as high as the other status, but maybe I should increase those as well instead of just relying on buffs."

In the end, even though Leon allocated some status points to the attributes he ignored until now, after a while, he would always increase his intelligence and recovery again. To achieve his ultimate goal, he needed both of those alongside with mana and control... nothing else.
"Although recovery is growing well, maybe it is time for me to create magic items that grant me effects like Mana Magnetism," Leon muttered. "Even though there is a limit of how much I can obtain in this dimension using that skill, it should help me save some time."
The mana stored in Soul Eaters was running out at an astonishing speed, so Leon was forced to worry about that again. Although most likely the dragons would be an excellent source of mana, Leon doubted that he could drain their mana using the soul eaters faster than they can try to destroy them.
In the end, Leon tried to create a mithril ring that had Mana Magnetism, but it didn't work...
"The only real difference between Mana Magnetism and Zen is that one is an active skill while others is a passive one," Leon said. "Is that why I can't seal a spirit that has the knowledge of that skill in anything?"
Even though Leon has been sealing spirits inside items for literally centuries, he still didn't know all the limits of such spells. Regardless, that hadn't been the first time Leon failed at something, so that didn't bother him all that much.
