Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path 236 Chapter 235

As much as Leon wanted to let Darya obtain the power to protect herself as soon as possible, he couldn't afford to wait any longer if she couldn't learn that on the easy way, which was by forcing herself to get used to her fear, Darya would have to get used on the hard way... while fighting for her life.

"Let's go," Leon said.

"Are you going to try to clear the dungeon?" Dary asked. "You think I'm ready?"

"No, you are not ready," Leon answered. "But time is of the essence... just try to learn as you keep fighting and make sure to focus on keeping yourself alive. You didn't practice all that much, but you probably can fly pretty fast if you use an earth platform. If something happens, escape and don't look back."

Four months have passed since Leon came to that world. Although he got strong enough to defeat five elemental golems before running out of mana, he was aware that only that wasn't enough to clear the dungeon. However, Leon intended to compensate that by using mana potions. It wouldn't be that efficient, but by using mana potions to recover his mana and using his spells against a boss, he would be able to get stronger faster. Instead of using ordinary elemental golems, he would use the spirit of a boss to create his magic staff.

"Let's just hope my defenses increased to the point where I can survive for a while in a long battle..."

Leon's battle plan was... unconventional. Just like the time he left the island, he would try to recover his mana in a weird way. It was better to find a way to cultivate some blue angel leaves; in fact, he had some in his magic box. He visited the island when he was using megalodons to create magic items for his friends. However, when Leon tried to plant those… the poison mist sucked their mana and killed the plant.

Leon and Darya walked toward the dungeon, some golems tried to stop them, but they failed miserably. Although she wasn't that efficient, Darya was equally powerful as Leon, and with someone nearby to offer support, she didn't feel afraid. So, the golems were being defeated at a crazy pace.

Although they reached the dungeon quite fast, they stayed at the entrance for quite a while, because Leon brought fifty thousand mana potions.

"... Are you sure you are going to need that much mana potions?" Darya frowned.

"This is for both of us," Leon said. "It pains me to admit, but even though the level of your skills is lower, we can cause more or less the same amount of damage."

"It's because of the mana crystal in my forehead," Darya said. "Still... to think that I would have to participate in such weird plan..."

"It is just to save time... since we have the same strength, the battle won't become easy, just shorter," Leon explained.

His plan could have been much more convenient if Leon could customize his magic box... but he couldn't. Not only that, but Leon also couldn't even see on the dungeon shop anything related to the magic box being sold.

���I wonder if I can create a magic box... Nah, it would be too weird... but I should at least try."

Reaching the dungeon had been quite fast since the enemies were scattered, and there was enough space to run in case something happens. But things changed inside the dungeon... Leon and Darya didn't have room to dodge the magic projectiles, but their mana was being consumed a little faster. That being said, neither of them was in a hurry. Besides, the elemental golems were still formidable enemies that could make their skills level up incredibly fast.

Regardless, it has been a while since Leon saw a weird dungeon. Except for the Frozen Dire Wolves' dungeon, most dungeons looked like just regular caves. However, that dungeon had parts that were frozen, while others had small pits of lava, and some parts seemed to be made of some sort of metal.

"This is the first time I have seen a dungeon like this..." Leon frowned.

"I don't know much about dungeons, but I do know that monsters that have strong magic powers can influence the interior of the dungeons," Darya explained. "I heard once that monsters sometimes just stop to rest, and their presences change the place itself to let them have an easier time resting..."

"I wonder why something inorganic would have to rest... much less even without fighting." Leon looked around and touched a frozen wall to confirm its nature.

That dungeon had many bifurcations and dead-ends, adding that to the battles against the golems... Leon and Darya only reached the end after one day, and they finally saw the boss. The creature had a humanoid shape, but it was eight meters tall. Leon and Darya didn't see the core of the beast, and despite having a human shape, it didn't have eyes, nose, and mouth.

"The heck is that..." Leon murmured.

As if its overall appearance wasn't weird enough, the golem had parts that were made of metal, magma, ice, and thunder... Adding to all that, the creature could move those parts at will. So, if at some point the head was made of ice and Leon decided to attack the head with magma or fire, the creature could change the element of its head to magma, and it would heal itself.

"This is going to be difficult..." Leon murmured.

Even without fighting, he knew that the strategy he used to defeat the golem boss on Earth wouldn't work. That thing was several times stronger, and even if Leon got stronger, he wasn't strong enough to freeze that part of the dungeon and kill the creature before it could react.
