Although Leon wondered why Lion's Pride was still working even though he was using Ilyana's mana to train, he still tried to learn many things before he couldn't do to the mana consumption. One of them was the Plasma Armor, one hell of a useful skill with all the bonus points of his defensive spells, but none of their restrictions. That being said, given the cost of mana, it would be weird if it had even more restrictions.

"To think that I would learn a spell on my own that automatically transform monsters into magic items…" Leon frowned. "It is a bit late to notice that, but I'm pretty insane, aren't I?"
"You are not the first person to use that spell, so you don't have to worry about it," Ilyana said.
"Can you guarantee that those who can use this spell aren't insane?" Leon asked. "Rather than that… I was monologuing here; don't jump into the conversations I have with myself."
"I guess you are definitely insane…" Ilyana looked away.
Regardless, Plasma Armor not only could destroy most magic projectiles but could also increase Leon's defensive status by two hundred points per level and also could damage those who might attack him physically. The other spells were just ordinary ones, so Leon didn't pay much attention to them.
"Your body already got used to using vast amounts of mana," Ilyana suddenly said. "So, you should be able to learn a certain spell."
"Are you going to teach me one without asking for my opinion?" Leon frowned. "That is rare…"
"We are in a hurry, and we can't afford to lose the next battles, so it is absolutely necessary," Ilyana said. "This skill won't work if you keep receiving mana from another person. So, use this."
Soul Eater
It drains all the mana of defeated foes.
Mana Stored: 1.000.000.000.000
Ilyana suddenly made a soul eater appear out of nowhere and then made it fall over Leon's hands. The amount of mana stored in it was insane, and by the look of things, Ilyana wanted to teach him one hell of a crazy spell.
"Learn this spell is easy. All you need is to wish for it with all your might and have a decent source of mana," Ilyana explained. "Wish to use all the mana stored in the soul eater and at the same time, use Mindscape Transportation, Accelerate, and Summon Replica. The last thing you need to do is to think of a skill you want to level up until the level max."
"… What kind of spell is that?" Leon frowned again.
"It is called Instant Mastery,��� Ilyana replied. "By using that spell, you automatically create a place inside your head where you can level up any skill up to the max level. The cost of the skill is a bit troublesome, but it is worth the hassle."
That was like too good to be true… a spell that could let anyone master other skills instantly? Wasn't that way too overpowered? Then again, Leon had been playing with time for the last months, and that also was a power beyond human imagination.
In any case, considering the spells Ilyana told him to use it, Leon imagined that perhaps such a spell actually exists. That would explain why Ilyana was much more powerful than she was supposed to be, given that she was five thousand years old.
"Isn't this spell way too powerful?" Leon asked. "I thought eating dragon hearts was a crazy method to get strong, but this is much more insane."
"No, both of those are equally useful," Ilyana said and then showed an angry expression. "Just like you, that woman has the power of a deadly sin… the power of gluttony. She can eat anything without having to worry about getting full. Not only that, but she also obtains a part of the power of the things she eats. Thanks to that power, most monsters that she eats works like dragon hearts for her."
"That sounds incredible… then again, I don't think Lion's Pride is weaker than that," Leon rubbed his chin. "By the way… you are the first person who noted that I have such skill… you have one too, right? The power of a deadly sin. What is yours?"
"I'm not going to tell…" Ilyana looked away, and then she crossed her arms.
That reaction surprised Leon. That was the first time Ilyana seemed… flustered? Embarrassed? Given how old she was, Leon imagined she would be above such emotions, but it looked like that wasn't the case…
"You… you have the power of lust, don't you?" Leon asked. "The more you wish for someone, the more powerful you get, right?"
For some reason, that made a lot of sense in Leon's head. Given that her planet's people died a long time ago and Ilyana didn't do anything aside from training and working to have her revenge, he couldn't imagine her wishing to have somebody. Still, if his hypothesis were right, that would explain Ilyana's power and massive mana pool.
Leon didn't stop to think about the demerits of gluttony, but considering the nature of lust… perhaps as long as Ilyana's keep wishing for someone without having sex, she would become more and powerful. However, she would lose all that bonus power once she gets laid. Maybe she wished for a lover that died a long time ago? Leon wasn't sure.
"Shut up! Idiot!" Ilyana shouted and then disappeared.
"… What the hell was that?" Leon asked, astonished.
