Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 102 Chapter 101

Although Leon only had a single slime's core, he had several golems' cores, and those belonged to bosses. However, he hid them outside New York. They could be sold for a high price, but Leon would use them without any hesitation to strengthen his new card, but since he didn't have them, he couldn't use it.

"Maybe, I can use the skeletons' dust..."

Leon tried to absorb that, but he ended up absorbing only the particles he touched. The amount of mana recovered was low, but he was doing that to train his skill anyway. However, he decided to stop when the particles of bones became lifeless like sand.

"... What did you do, master?" Gisela asked, showing a surprised expression.

"Just a little experiment... don't worry about it; it is not something the current you can replicate," Leon answered.

Leon has been playing with mana for the past four years, so it didn't surprise that he learned ManEater so fast. It was impossible for Gisela to learn it anytime soon. Anyway, Leon now had a new way to obtain mana, he needed to train a little more, but it wasn't something he needed right now.

"Let's see... ManEater is probably a low-tier version of the skill to absorb mana, I want to learn that, but I think I should try to learn some support spells."

After spending the entire night trying to use mana to strengthen his muscles, brain, and legs, Leon didn't make any progress. On the other hand, Gisela managed to freeze the entire bucket of water. That was hard to accept, seeing others progressing while himself didn't was hard to accept, but considering the Gisela had to use all his mana and he learned ManEater, he decided to forget about it. Much sooner than Leon thought, it was time to teach Gisela how to create water, but first, he had to work.

"Tch... I will have to repeat that some bothersome process of faking my progress."

It was annoying beyond reason, but it couldn't be helped. Leon decided to play it safe during the next weeks while trying to find a way to use support magic, training ManEater, and teaching Gisela. Although she learned Water Manipulation and Water Transformation relatively fast, it took her two weeks to learn Water Creation.

"Now, you will try to learn how to use a real spell," Leon said. "It will be hard in the beginning, but once you succeed, you will feel accomplished and more eager to practice."

"I will do my best, master!" Gisela raised her right fist upward.

After she manages to learn her first spell, Leon wouldn't have to teach her water magic. The foundation was there, so she would have to decide her own means of attack. Since her homeland was in Europe, perhaps learning fire spells would help her, but Leon wondered if he would have time for that. Lately, he could see in Tom's eyes his excitement. It looked like soon his fake progress would be enough to convince Tom. Eventually, he and the others would challenge the grim reaper of that dungeon. Speaking of the others, the other two members of the team were quite lazy as well. A Canadian blond woman called Suzan, she was a whip user. And a Mexican black-haired youth called Juan who used knives. Just like Miller and Kelly, they obtained a powerful skill by using a tome, and their weapons had special effects too. They also tried to mess with Leon but soon stopped.

Two more weeks passed, and Leon decided to show the result of his 'training' to Tom, he could control three earth spears and make them spin at fearsome speed, making the piercing power increase a lot.

"It looks powerful, but we have to test it." Tom declared.

"How?" Leon asked.

"Your spear against my hammer," Tom said. "If you manage to overpower me, then you are ready."

"All right then," Leon nodded.

Leon and Tom walked toward the front of the dungeon, and after taking some distance from each other, they prepared themselves. Leon created an earth spear and made it spin. Meanwhile, Tom holds his hammer with all his strength. Tom wouldn't hold back his brute strength this time, so Leon couldn't hold back all that much either. He had already spent too much time in there.

Like an unreasonably fast bull, Tom charged and swung his hammer toward Leon's head. However, midway he stopped because the earth spear hit the hammer. Tom tried to keep moving and sent the spear away, but he barely had the power to keep holding his hammer. Eventually, he felt the bones and muscles of his arms ripping apart. Tom tried to endure that too, but ultimately, he lost control over them.

Without anything to hold it back, the hammer flew hundreds of meters away from Tom. He was used to the pain, but he still fell on his knees. Leon approached, showing an apologetic expression. He went too far…

"Don't worry; it will heal very soon…" Tom forced a smile. "We will clear this cursed dungeon tomorrow if I find my hammer in time."
