It took him quite a while, but Leon's replica finally found some spells that he didn't know yet. At that point in time, sighing while observing the spells' cost wasn't even something Leon would consider to do anymore.

"Although I'm thankful for learning these… it is kind of depressing that they aren't that useful like time magic or projectiles made of plasma," Leon frowned.
In any case, thanks to all the mana Leon was receiving from Ilyana. He could train several spells without sacrificing his lifespan or damaging his spirit. That was a bit way too convenient considering that Ilyana didn't try to stop him from doing so until now… but maybe she could see something using Foresight that Leon couldn't yet. Although Leon used that spell to learn other spells, Ilyana was so powerful that he could afford to use it in order to find when the opponents would strike.
That being said, if that was really true, it was weird that she didn't see the attack of the shadowy figure or the trap of the dragonewts. Ilyana wasn't the type to make simple mistakes, so there was only one explanation.
"Although we can't see that using Foresight, the future is always changing. In the end, that skill is only useful when things were stale and only to see a small part of the future…"
Regardless, Ilyana was so experienced in using mana that she did know exactly for how long Leon had to rest after receiving such vast amounts of mana. Besides, with his current ability to recover mana, Leon could keep Mindscape Transportation active at a certain speed even while he rests. To break the balance of the status he wanted to increase, Leon would definitely focus on letting him train for longer periods of time while using mana without messing with his body. Still, until now, intelligence, mana, and recovery had the same effects on that problem. So, it wouldn't be now that Leon would get rid of that worry.

Leon received so many notifications that he didn't even have time to question why people like the shadowy figure and Netro would have skills like that. They were arrogant bastards that used beings like humans to help them satiate their hunger for power, so it didn't make any sense that they could use massively buffs of an area that could help so many.
Still, even if he had time, Leon wouldn't think much about any of that since he was only eager to find all the basic information related to conceptual attacks. He had some ideas in how he wanted to customize those concepts, but it would be hard to imagine if any of what he wanted was possible without knowing the basics.
"Conceptual attacks… now that I think about it, I wonder what happened to Netro's spear. I didn't see him throwing it away when he became a dragon, so I can't imagine that thing melting and getting destroyed when the sun almost killed us."
Most likely, Netro stored it in some space created by his space magic, and Leon would only obtain it if he uses Mind Control on him. Although that weapon seemed powerful, Leon couldn't imagine that it would become useful in the next few battles. If that were really useful, Ilyana would have asked about it after she heard Leon's report.
"It is also a pity that I won't be able to use their spirits and create magic weapons with them…"
That was one of the downsides of absorbing the mind and skills of someone. It would make them weaker. So, it was clear that the weapon created using their spirit would be much weaker and have poor effects. Still, that also means that Leon would become much stronger, and his body would become the weapon that he needed. A weapon that wouldn't be easily broken or stolen.
Thinking back, Leon couldn't help but frown while he recalled the moments of his first battles. Give that he was just an ordinary average joe, it couldn't be helped that he couldn't fight very well. Still, he had walked quite a long path since the day he killed the first of those weird fish using a small sphere of dirt… until now, the moment where he could create Black Holes and wanted to learn conceptual attacks.
Thinking about things like that, Leon understood that he was raising his own death flag, but he did that so many times that he already used to it. Regardless, to achieve his goals, he would have to think about everything he did in the past to find clues that could help him achieve his ultimate goal… and that was something that even Ilyana couldn't imagine.
