Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Infernal Mithril Helm

It grants you the skill: Burning Aura Lv 140. Endurance + 120, Mentality + 120.

After freezing the hellhound, Leon used its spirit and enchanted the helmet he created previously. Initially, he intended to develop Magneto's helmet... but since he now had Mind Armor, it was no longer necessary.

"Mmm... I can feel a warm aura around my body, this certainly protects me from ice and water type attacks, but can it increase the power of my fire attacks?"

Leon tested that and confirmed that wasn't the case. Still, it was handy, but it was a pain to keep using a helmet... maybe it was because Leon was used to fighting with his clothes alone, but he felt annoyed with that on his head. However, he would have to get used to it.

...

One very interesting about Leon's current situation, he didn't have to leave his position to use Mana-Eater. Somehow the angels created a paint using mithril, so since the paint was connected, he could absorb all the mana of the circle that was covering half of the continent...

"So much mana... why did the angels still need monsters blood? Were they sacrificing the world or something?"

Such thing was the theme of many books and games Leon saw in the past... human beings using blood and making an offering to summon na evil creature, and then those same human beings were eaten by the beast they summoned. Regardless, Leon and the harvesters would probably learn what they were plotting once the angels return. That being said, Leon couldn't imagine them appearing and giving the answers Leon wanted to hear.

After improving the mithril helm eight times, Leon wondered if he could keep enchanting other equipment. He didn't have all that much equipment he could enchant, and besides, he had to improve his telescope. The only way to do that was to keep trying to create better versions of it while Magic Craftsmanship and Magic Blacksmith level up.

"Increasing the size will also help, but... it will make it easier to find, and my enemies will try to destroy it just to mess with me. I guess the only option is to keep improving the small version until I solve the other problems."

Things could be solved faster even faster if Leon obtains a Soul Eater, but it looked like the harvesters got one thanks to an incredible amount of luck. After killing one hundred thousand angels, nothing even comparable had been dropped by them. Creating a weapon that has a similar effect would be the best option, but Leon didn't meet any monster so far that has any similar skill.

"I guess my only option is to keep improving my mana pool and level up Transfer to make it more efficient... at least for the time being."

While he was waiting for the hellhounds to leave the dungeon, he practiced Transfer and improved his telescope. While Leon was training, Jertien suddenly appeared in the middle of the first night after that battle. Leon had nothing against the old man, but it was getting hard to keep a straight face while looking at him.

"Hello, Leon," Jertien said. "I came to ask why the angel looked annoyed at you so many times. It is because you obtained a skill to counter Appraisal?"

"I don't remember learning such a skill," Leon frowned. "I only recently learned a spell that can counter some illusionary spells and mental attacks."

"Is that so?" Jertien asked. "It seems to me such skill also can counter Appraisal. Can you give a few pointers, I think such a skill will be handy against the angels."

"Sure, but how about you teach me something useful first?" Leon asked. "That way, we will be able to help each other."

"I guess you are quite angry because we didn't fulfill our end of the bargain," Jertien rubbed his chin. "Well, that is easy... how about I teach you some spells that may help you defeat Jorhorn? Truth to be told, he gets on my nerves too."

"Nah, I don't need something like that," Leon said. "It doesn't have to be something powerful. If it is useful, I'm fine with it."

"I'm pretty sure a spell that can help you defeat Jorhorn would be very useful..." Jertien frowned. "Well, it is your choice then. How about I teach you a spell that I developed after I obtained the power of Celsius. The name of the spell is Ice Trap, you pour your mana into a place, and then a spike of ice will pierce the opponent the moment he steps on it."

"So, the name of the spirit of ice really is Celsius..." Leon said. "Well, I'm fine with Ice Trap. How can I learn?"

"It is very simple, just pour your mana into any place on the ground and try to create the runes," Jertien created two small sculptures of ice that had the shape of a Z and upside down R. "Put those above each other while your pour your mana and you will learn it."

Leon couldn't help but frown. Although those were supposed to be runes and were very different from the ones Leon had to create in order to create a Checkpoint, he did so, anyway.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Ice Trap.

Cost: 30 mana

You obtained 01 status points.

"You actually learned on the first try..." Jertien frowned.

"How did you discover that you could use Ice Trap like this?" Leon asked.

"I just saw those runes in a temple on another world," Jertien explained. "I saw some gravures that made me think of Celsius, so I decided to try."
