Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

After confirming that he could use Transfer freely inside the dungeon, Leon relaxed a little, with that spell, he wouldn't be caught by surprise by Donan anymore. Regardless, Leon shook those thoughts out of his head because he had another goal... create the mithril bracers of the devourer.

"In the end... I can't just let my anger dictate my actions, but I can't ignore my anger either."

To make things work, Leon decided to compromise with his reason and his feelings. He would punch Donan in the face until he feels satisfied with it, but his soldiers and guards wouldn't just watch Leon and their leader fighting. So, that was why Leon needed to compromise. He would use Donan and his minions as fuel to keep himself rampaging... Even though winning or losing, nothing would change...

Mithril Bracers of the Devourer (+6)

It grants you the skill: Mana Absorption Lv 240.

"Good with this, I will be able to move around punching everyone, moving around and recovering mana while I'm at it… why does this sounds so fun?"

Putting Leon's imagination aside, it looked like the number of times he could improve a magic weapon increased, just like his control. As expected, the weapon didn't raise his status, but it didn't matter. With every hit, Leon would be able to increase his buffs for several more seconds, and that would increase his attacks.

" I would cause more damage using a spear, but my anger wouldn't dissipate with that…"

With the help of Lion's Pride and Haste, Leon was sure that he would be able to move at the same speed Donan could. However, even with Lion's Pride, Leon felt that he lacked a little in the brute strength aspect. So, he was hoping to train Martial Arts at least for one month in order to increase his damage. Besides, he needed to have some experience using his fists. The better option would be to fight against powerful human opponents, but warriors that live under the city didn't have much mana, and without draining mana, Leon wouldn't be able to train his skills.

​ "The problem is… what I'm going to do after dealing with my anger issues…"

It won't surprise Leon if he stays depressed for a month or two after the next big battle. Defeating Donan wouldn't change anything, and now that he knew that the harvesters didn't have a decent method to travel between worlds, Leon knew that he would be stuck on Miebos until Earth reaches the second stage of assimilation, or until he develops teleportation himself. Leon visited an underwater dungeon to check the shop every day, but there was no sign of the tome he was looking for… that was why Leon was trying not to think about it.

Regardless, when Leon left the dungeon, he saw that the warriors and guards were still at it. Both lands suffered some losses, but since their numbers were almost equal, they were on a stalemate.

"Maybe I shouldn't get involved in this…"

If Leon makes them owe him a few favors, he could end up learning a few cool techniques, but in the end, Leon was a mage to his core. Even though he learned a few skills that consumed stamina, he always forgets to train them… but he never forgot to train his magic. It was already an instinct…

In the end, Leon just left that area using the spell Transfer. A few hours later, Leon was back to his base. Considering his experience, Leon knew that the best targets to train Martial Arts and his buff would be the krakens and ancient whales. However, using magic to attack them and attack with his fists underwater were two very different things. Still, did Leon have any choice? The answer was no.

"I guess this kind of training will be helpful for the future…"

For the first time, Leon started to explore the ocean of that world without the help of a zombie Kraken or whale. Thanks to his Underwater Resistance, Leon could dive quite deep in the sea, using Mana Barrier he could go even deeper, but he couldn't use his fists. Soon, several Plant-Tentacle, Sharp Starfish, and Crab-Hammers approached to attack him. But even underwater, Leon was faster than them… with the help of Haste. Leon's Swim was leveling up fast, but he wasn't causing that much damage with his punches.

"Well, this much was expected…"

Although his punches weren't causing much damage, Leon didn't even have to worry about using all his strength. The monster stopped moving after getting hit five times, thanks to Mana Absorption. While they were in that state, Leon made good use of them as sandbags.

Still, those weren't Leon's targets. Soon, an ancient whale approached. The creature recognized that Leon had a lot of mana, but underestimated his power. Instead of using any of its special attacks, it just moved to eat Leon. The moment the creature opened its mouth, Leon transferred himself to the inside of it. With the help of Fly, Leon prevented the water from pulling him into the whale's stomach, and after that, he started to punch.

"Here I go…"

Leon's started to punch the insides of the monster; of course, he wasn't causing much damage. The creature was one hundred meters long, after all. However, soon the beast started to sink since Leon's punches drained all its mana. To make things more exciting and to make good use of his limited time underwater, Leon used the extra mana to recover his stamina while he used Bash. The single offensive skill that he could use with his fists.
