Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 218 Chapter 217

After giving his warning and leaving that area, Leon let out a long sigh. He was too stressed… it was all because Leon knew it would take years before he could return to Earth. Once again, he would have to work hard for years day and night to return to where his family and friends are.

"I don't have time, nor the leisure to let the blood rush to my head… calm down, Leon. Focus."

Once again, Leon would have to search for a dungeon blindly. Still, it was better than traveling with strangers. Besides, he was already used to staying alone. It was easy to concentrate alone, anyway.

It took Leon a few days, but he eventually found the next dungeon after reaching the territory of a new type of monster… golems, again. However, those were the evolved version of the previous golems. They couldn't change the body to all the four elements like the bosses Leon faced back on Earth, but their bodies weren't only made of earth, water, wind, and fire either. They were made of ice, magma, steel, and thunder.

"They look more dangerous than that boss… still, I guess this is a good opportunity to train my elemental resistances."

It would be painful and very dangerous, but Leon knew that he had to make some sacrifices in order to avoid problems down the road. Besides, even though they were far stronger than the ordinary golems and probably had the same level of power as the boss, Leon faced, he still could counter-attack using their weaknesses. To stop a golem made of magma, ice would do the job and so on…

"Still… I wonder what kind of planet they came from. It is the same world that it was connected to Earth? Gurr said that two planets couldn't stay connected if they are in two different stages of the assimilation... but I have to check that."

Although Leon didn't even think about the boss of that place, he was already wondering about their world… it was a bit imprudent, but it couldn't be helped given the situation.

Like the golems Leon faced before, those were slow. However, their attacks were far stronger and faster… Leon felt shivers when he faced a thunder golem and tried to block a Thunder Lance with an earth wall… only to see his defense get completely destroyed. He stopped the magic projectile, but the debris hit him. To make things worse, the power behind the lance warmed the stones to the point where Leon suffered some burns where he got hit.

"Why the hell did I give that thing the chance to attack first?"

Before recovering from his injuries, Leon created five earth walls and made them two times thicker than the first. Thanks to that, he managed to block the attacks of the thunder golem. Leon used those blocks to smash the golem into pieces, but much to his surprise. The creature moved so fast when it noticed that Leon was trying to lock it, that it looked like it had teleported. However, it didn't move to get closer. It moved to escape from the attack. Not only that, but the thunder golem also stopped moving and didn't attack for a few seconds.

"I guess it can use the thunder in its body to increase its movement speed… but that is risky, and it can't be used frequently."

Before the thunder golem could recover itself, Leon shot an Earth Lance. The attack hit the core of the golem's body, which was the only solid thing Leon could hit. Despite that, he barely caused damage.

Thunder Golem

Health: 1030/1150

Mana: 1850/1900

Stamina: 440/440

Active Skills: Thunder Lance Lv 50

Passive Skills: Thunder Absorption Lv 100

Those opponents were many times more difficult than mechanical spiders… perhaps they were the true monsters of the second stage of assimilation. Regardless, Leon discovered the electric attacks would also heal the creature, but he didn't intend to do that anyway.

There was no time to waste, and Leon wanted to make a magical weapon out of that golem, so he didn't hold back on the use of his mana. Once again, Leon tried to smash the golem using his earth walls, but the creature moved at an unbelievable speed again. Still, Leon already had a good idea where the golem would land. So, without wasting a single moment, he created the earth and sent toward the creature covering its whole body. Turned the earth into steel would be the quickest way to kill the thing, but Leon would suffer a lot if he does that. So, Leon just compressed the earth and slowly smashed the creature.

"I guess using the inverse element to kill them like this is also an option…"

Before the thunder golem's core could be destroyed, Leon created a spear and then activated Seal to steal the monster's spirit. The shock almost made him give up but endured because he was pretty sure that magic weapon would be pretty nice, and he was right.

Steel Spear IV (Thunder)

It grants you the skill Thunder Slash Lv 30. Speed + 40, Strength + 40.

This weapon causes thirty percent more damage to water and ice-related targets.

Although the status and the new skill weren't half bad since the spear could shot a wave of electricity in the shape of a crescent moon, Leon was more interested in using a weapon like that like he uses his own spears.

"Mmm?"

Still, much to his surprise, Leon couldn't control it as he wanted… it was an immense letdown, but after a while, Leon understood why he couldn't use his new spear like that.

"I can't transfer my mana to the weapon because the weapon already has mana in it… it is a magic weapon, after all." Leon sighed, disappointed.
