Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

While the third Leon was reaching the max level in certain skills, Leon was also receiving those notifications… perhaps that was Ilyana's goal. Make him stronger by accessing the memories of parallel universes. Although that was convenient, it was much more painful for Leon than training by causing harm to his own body. Still, it was weird because he couldn't understand if that was totally necessary. He just learned the techniques that put the black-haired woman to sleep for a while, so what was the point of continue watching that.

"Let's see how things will play out this time with Ilyana…" Leon muttered and then crossed his arms to observe the other Leon.

However, much to Leon's surprise, things went the same way as it did with him. The third Leon was obviously cautious of someone like her since he couldn't measure her power and frowned once Ilyana proposed an alliance.

"It can't be helped that you are cautious of me," Ilyana said. "Then, how about this: I will show you a way to obtain power fast without doing anything suspicious. Have you heard of the great magic spirits?"

The third Leon obviously didn't hear of them, and Leon frowned because it didn't make sense that they would exist at that point in time when they didn't exist in other universes. However, the strangest thing of everything was that Ilyana herself wanted to give the third Leon the spirits' power.

"I wonder if Ilyana not only can obtain the knowledge of other universes but also can give them useful pieces of information," Leon said. "Perhaps she told others how to create the spirits… still, is this Ilyana powerful enough to create them?"

Leon's doubts didn't stop increasing… as usual; he couldn't quite picture Ilyana's end goal. Leon had some suspicions, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions. Regardless, the third Leon accepted that once he learned about the spirits and just as things went him, things proceeded well with the third Leon, and in the blink of an eye, he obtained their cooperation. The fact that he didn't have to worry about Earth anymore helped a lot. That being said, not having anything to protect didn't make the third Leon stronger… if anything, it made him weaker.

"I guess the trigger to learn those is to form contracts with the spirits," Leon nodded to himself.

Even though Leon was hoping to see things from Ilyana's perspective, that didn't happen. Leon was also hoping to notice any strange behavior, but that didn't happen either. The third Leon acted exactly like him, and thus she acted the same way she did it with him. The only real difference was that she was also conveniently training to kill a certain species that decimated her planet's dominant race. They were the dragonewts.

"Given that the Ilyana that I know lied to me. Perhaps this one is also lying," Leon muttered. "Still… the dragonewts exists. Those are the fellows that we defeated alongside Netro… so perhaps, she isn't lying."

It was a massive pain in the ass to wonder if someone was lying or not, but it was absolutely necessary for Leon. He couldn't let himself be fooled again, and since the skills he used to analyze the opponents didn't work if they were stronger than him, he had to find other ways to confirm his suspicions.

Strangely enough, Ilyana never asked the third Leon to do any jobs for her. The only thing she asked him to do was to train his resistance as much as possible. In fact, Ilyana even gave him the knowledge of how to learn the elemental immunities and absorptions. In no time, the third Leon was strong enough to endure without trying to defend himself the power of a fifty-meter-long meteor falling on him. It was painful but bearable.

"This is weird…" Leon frowned.

As if that wasn't strange enough, Ilyana also taught the third Leon useful spells like Mana Absorption, Mana Magnetism, and even Mana Link. The next step was obvious, Ilyana taught him summoning spells, and then Leon used Mana Link on the summoned monsters.

"This is way too weird…" Leon frowned. "It can't be a coincidence that this Ilyana is using the same method that the first Leon used… the first Ilyana definitely taught this one the method to increase their mana pool. Or perhaps…"

There was a certain possibility that Leon has been considering for a while, but he didn't want to admit that because that would complicate things on many levels, that would also explain a lot. In any case, after making a lot of effort to forget that, Leon returned to watch the movie.

Congratulations! You have become a Level one Master Summoner!

After a while, Leon noticed that this Ilyana smiled quite a bit. She also didn't nag him all that much… probably because the only thing that that Leon could do was to train. There were no humans to make him stray from the path of chasing power alone, after all. Also, the spirits' behavior didn't change all that much, and even though they resembled a little the behavior of the first Leon's kids, it wasn't that similar…
