Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Suddenly, Leon heard several hissing sounds. Instead of looking, he just used Transfer and appeared several meters ahead of that point. When they turned around, Leon saw several arrows hitting against each other from several directions.

"What the..." Leon looked around and didn't see or felt anything within the range of his Mana Dominion. "Mana Concealment? Those centaurs sure are crafty..."

There were some trees and piles of rubble nearby, so Leon imagined that the centaurs were hiding behind those. However, before Leon could investigate those, another massive number of arrows flew toward him from several points he wasn't watching. Again, only the hissing sound warned him.

Leon used Transfer, and soon after, he activated Invisibility. Thanks to that, he began to fell from the sky, but his landing didn't cause a loud noise or wounded his legs.

"I thought they fell from my trap... but I guess I fell from theirs. That group of scouts' sole purpose was to lure every creature that may approach their dungeon."

Leon had to wait for a few minutes before the centaurs finally left the places there using to hide. Leon thought several of the archers were hitting him, but it was just four... they changed their positions without letting Leon noticed and also made him think that their numbers were higher. Regardless, the creatures reunited and started to murmur something on their language. Leon approached, and when they were on the line of fire, he shot Plasma Arrows toward their heads.

The centaurs fell on the ground dead after their heads got destroyed. As usual, no drops, their weapons disappeared as soon as their health bar became empty.

"In the end, I had to use some tricks as well," Leon said. "If I really want to learn something from them, I should avoid doing that in their world."

The centaurs didn't have special skills, so Leon wouldn't have to waste time sealing their spirits in weapons or items. Leon headed toward the dungeon, and it didn't take long before he found another group that tried to lure him toward a trap. Since he was already tired of that trick, Leon used Transfer and bombarded the five centaurs that were running away using Thunder Bullets, the power behind them was still weak, but it had been enough to paralyze them until their brains fried up.

...

Once again, Leon began to fly in the sky while looking for the archers that would attack him. Judging by the position of the first group, he already knew where they were. However, he still heard the hissing sound of the arrows coming from the three different directions because he could only look at a place at a time.

"Even without seeing me, one of them was aware that I was observing his position... I thought they were just a warrior race, but they also had some tactical and tracking knowledge."

Leon used Transfer and escaped the volley of arrows, still, that hadn't solved the problem. Becoming invisible to attack them by surprise wouldn't let him learn much... Leon couldn't observe the four places at a time if he summons his spirits, that could be solved, but then again, Leon wouldn't learn anything.

"What to do..."

Just standing still in mid-air was foolish, but Leon stayed like that in order to test something. He also activated the Mana Barrier and just waited for the volley of arrows, Leon got attacked, and he noticed that the arrows of all directions hit his Mana Barrier after certain intervals. The ones coming from the south hit him first, since those aimed at his back, it was hard to identify with his eyes alone. After that, his Mana Barrier got hit in the west, north, and east side. Leon was pretty sure that was the correct order, and somehow the centaurs used that order to signalized to each other.

After turning to the west, Leon got attacked first by the east, then south, west and north... the first volley of arrows would always be aimed at his back. The one who was behind Leon was the one who had to judge the best time to attack.

"Not bad, but..."

After getting hit so many times, Leon already knew the angles and the trajectory of the arrows. When he heard the first hissing sound, Leon turned around and used Transfer. He barely arrived on time to see the centaur hiding under the earth... the monsters could use magic like that to surprise their enemies. Leon killed the creature before it could hide entirely, and he also didn't have difficulties finding the others.

"Their tactics aren't so bad, but nothing very impressive either... Unless they can do something much better than this, I won't spend much time in their world."

The same thing happened several times before Leon finally entered the centaurs' dungeon. It looked like they didn't find many enemies so far that could quickly find their positions or ignore their attacks like that. Regardless, their tactics didn't change even slightly, probably because they didn't notice Leon defeating their friends. Although Leon felt a little bothered by it, it couldn't be helped given that he was dealing with monsters that couldn't even use proper words.
