Instead of automatically casting Spinning Earth Arrow, Leon decided to create the projects one after the other manually. His attack speed decreased, but eventually, he was focused enough and managed to attack at the same pace while he was doing that automatically. And when he finally surpassed that speed where he could create a projectile in 0.2 seconds…
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Fast Conjuration.
You obtained 01 status points.
Leon smiled widely while looking at his new skill, which not only would increase the speed of his attacks, but it was also a passive skill. He would increase the speed of his attacks without having to spend more mana!
"Hehe, this will be very useful… while I can cast multiple spells while using Multi-Conjuration, I can't make them hit the same spot. But things change with Fast Conjuration."
That being said, that skill only increased his cast speed by one percent, so Leon would have to level up that skill to level one hundred in order to double his attack speed, attacking instead of five, ten times per second.
Congratulations! The skill Fast Conjuration has leveled up.
You obtained 01 status points.

...
The moment Leon learned the spell, those notifications started to appear at a fearsome speed. It was evident because the most powerful the target was, the faster the skill leveled up. Unfortunately, Leon had to stop because he ran out of mana.
"Thanks for the help," Leon smiled, satisfied. "Let's take a break because I used almost all my mana."
"… Maybe you should practice a less noisy spell," Alurelle said.
"I wanted to practice underwater because of that…" Leon sighed. "Besides, even though I'm making noise, Ismenria is watching our surroundings. Didn't you say that she was suited for that job because she had good eyes as an archer?"
"Well… even so…" Alurelle said, nervously.
"… Fine," Leon sighed.
It was annoying, but since he wasn't working alone, Leon had to compromise. Although his attacks were less powerful since he wasn't alone all thanks to Lion's Pride, he still was powerful enough to make even Jorhorn be pushed back on his ordinary form. Since Mana Bullet probably wouldn't be effective against angels, Leon decided to learn a new earth spell. It wasn't that powerful, but it could be used to surprise the opponents since the projectile was quite small.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Earth Needle.
Cost: 03 mana
You obtained 01 status points.
Leon made a test and shot at Jorhorn. The impact caused some noise, similar to a marble hitting an ordinary wall, even though the noisy would increase, the sound of the ocean was enough to camouflage that sound.
"Satisfied?" Leon asked.
"Yes… you can continue," Alurelle smiled wryly.
"Good grief…" Leon sighed.
Since Leon did almost everything by himself over the last six years, having to compromise was indeed annoying. He knew that it was necessary since monsters had dominated the world, and his group only have eight people, but still…
Congratulations! The skill Earth Needle has leveled up.

Although those status points will be useful in the future, the fact that Leon wouldn't be able to kill angels with Earth Needle was annoying. Still, he didn't have much choice but to keep training small spells like that, because accordingly with Leon's calculations, his spells were leveling up four times faster while he was using them against Jorhorn.
"I can't wait to obtain Volt's powers… even small spells will be useful since they can electrocute my enemies."
Still, eventually, Jorhorn got tired of being Leon's target practice, and no one else felt like helping Leon. Their excuse was that they needed to conserve their strength for their future operations.
"So, it is going to be like that…"
In the end, Leon was already expecting something like that. However, even if it was slower leveling up his skills against the monsters in the sea, it didn't really matter, because alone, he could level up Lion's Pride. The next time Leon decided to train on the ocean, Jorhorn tried to stop him, but this time Leon paid him no mind and used Transfer. He immediately appeared underwater, and even though several monsters came to attack him, he survived because no mermaid was nearby. It didn't take long for a pair of merpeople to appear, though.

Leon used Appraisal before he could feel the effects of Enthralling Aura. He didn't know if that would work, but he wounded his arm a little hoping that the pain would decrease the mermaid illusionary powers. It did, but it was barely noticeable.
In a hurry, Leon used Gravity and Telekinesis to slow down both of them while his spears approached. Still, despite that, they could swim faster than Leon's spears could move underwater.
"Time to change tactics…"
Leon grabbed the mithril spear of the devourers and readied himself to use Transfer and stab those monsters by appearing in front of them. However, before Leon could try that, two Ice Meteors fell on the ocean and smashed the creatures. When Leon left the sea, he saw Jertien flying above him.
"All right, boy…" Jertien sighed. "You won, I will practice with you."
