Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

136 Chapter 135



After one week of lessons, all survivors could manipulate the essential elements... to some extent. After that, they decided to focus on training a single element in order to learn an offensive spell as fast as possible. Usually, that would mean that Leon\'s workload would increase. However, he already explained the theory dozens of times, so the only thing the survivors could do was to practice while he corrects them.

Leon also progressed after training his mana to cover the area around his body; he finally learned the magic that could protect himself from projectiles and all sorts of attacks with a barrier that also let his friends approach him.

However, since it was a defensive spell, it didn\'t work to feel the mana of his allies. Leon was sure that he was on the right path, but he still had to let his mana become thinner to the point where barely any energy was spent.

"I still can\'t see mana, but I can feel my own mana around my body. However, considering that it can protect me, it means that it is too dense..."

Leon had never been good with delicate work; things would be even more difficult since he was dealing with mana, and the only to control it was with his mind. Still, he had no choice but to learn. Although it was a pity not to train the skills he just learned that could save his life one day, Leon made a promise and his mind; he would do everything in his power to learn how to heal severe wounds.

One random day while Leon was trying to make the mana shield thinner, Hector appeared to bother him. Since Gisela was meditating and Maya was sleeping on his arms, he decided not to make much noise.

"Leon, can you teach me an electric attack?" Hector asked.

p "Dude... you can\'t even use an ice spell yet." Leon frowned. "Ice is easy to control and to make; thunder isn\'t it. Do you really think you can learn such a thing?"

"Can\'t you give some tips like always?" Hector asked.

"... I only know a single electric attack, and it isn\'t user friendly." Leon said. "I eventually will try to learn since the skill to paralyze an enemy is very useful, but for the time being, I decided to learn things that won\'t hurt me."

"Can you show me?" Hector asked.

"I can, but what house do you want me to destroy in order to demonstrate that?" Leon asked.

"Is that powerful and hard to control? It sounds like you are talking about a lightning bolt." Hector laughed.

Leon laughed too, but only to make Hector feel like an idiot. Although Hector was annoying, Leon didn\'t have a single thing to complain about his current life. He lost his parents, but that was something beyond his control. Thanks to the power Leon obtained, now he could spend his days teaching magic to survivors, playing with Maya, and talking with his friends. Considering how happy he was, his four years alone on that island had been worth the trouble.

Two weeks passed after that without anything happening, the only thing that happened was some calls that Sarah and Tom made to ask for some more steel bows and arrows. It looked like ordinary citizens decided to participate more actively in defense of the city after a few dungeon breaks that happened. They offered some payment, but Leon denied it. It was better for them to use the coins to strengthen the defense of the cities, if they do a sloppy job even after receiving so much help, Leon will talk with them a little bit.

Anyway, after training whenever he had the chance, Leon finally learned the skill he wanted. However, he didn\'t let that go to his head since it was the first step in order to heal Gisela\'s eyes.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Mana Dominion.

The effective range was relatively small, but the more it levels up, the bigger would get. Leon could feel the mana of everything around in a range of three meters around himself. It was so useful that he could predict the enemies\' actions just by feeling their flow of mana. As long as he levels up that and keeps active, the chance of him suffering ambush decreased by manifold.

"Now that I can sense other people\'s mana, I just have to learn how to stimulate them."

That being said, before learning how to stimulate other people\'s mana, Leon had to learn that by making his own wounds heal. All in all, he had to return to the part where he had to wound himself again. Leon couldn\'t do that in the middle of the day, much less when someone was nearby, so he decided to train that only at night.

Like everything Leon learned so far, he had a hard time understanding the principles and making things work the way he wanted. But in the end, after trying several different methods, he succeeded in healing a small bit of a wound. It took another couple of weeks, but by concentrating his mana in a certain part of his body and stimulating that mana, the energy itself reconnected the damaged cells. Still, the system didn\'t recognize that as a spell.

"Mmm�� it is probably because I\'m slow, and I\'m no able to stimulate all the mana in all cells at the same time."

Regardless, Leon was sure that with practice, he would learn the healing skill, and the second part of his training would be complete. However, the third part would be very difficult. He could heal wounds, but in the last part, he would have to heal body parts that didn\'t exist anymore. That would be one hell of a challenge.
