BXBX NOVEL 578 Chapter 576
After a while, Leon was forced to give up on light magic. In the end, there were certain things that just persistence and hard work couldn\'t surpass. The power of the light and the shadow spirit were ones those things...
"Mana Manipulation is already at the level max. If I can\'t replicate light or dark magic, not even a little bit, then it is impossible without the power of the spirits," Leon shook his head and then sighed.
Although it was a pain to stop in the middle of the journey again, Leon had no choice but to do it. Still, he imagined that the trials of the other spirits would be a lot less time-consuming... if they weren\'t, it was better to kill them. Leon didn\'t know how the other spirits would react. If possible, he wanted to have them as friends, but he wouldn\'t waste other thousands of years doing something as hardcore as that.

"Well, for the time being, I\'m good with learning the spells and skills from monsters," Leon said. "Although light magic can dull the senses, and still I have no idea what dark magic can really do, those can be only learned far late in the game."
Even though Leon could forget about some monsters, he always could access his own memories and summon them using Mind Summoning. He made sure not to delete some information that might be important later, after all. Still, it would be difficult to forget those monsters since Leon created a mithril statue for every single type of monster and the number of statues already surpassed the number five hundred.
The real problem now was to learn and level up all the skills all the types of monsters had that Leon didn\'t before the next type of monster appears. Regardless, to speed up his training even more, Leon had the idea of giving a single Ring of Mana Sacrifice for his replica, but unfortunately, his plan failed. Even though he assimilated all the knowledge or even when he tried to complete the mana inside the ring when most of the work had been done by his replica, he couldn\'t use it.
"Well, as expected... every skill has a limit and some weaknesses." Leon shrugged.
In any case, even though it was still very troublesome for his body to keep up with that, Leon finally had the status to use the Ring of Mana Sacrifice, Ring of Health Sacrifice, and Ring of Stamina Sacrifice. To not damage his body too much, Leon used the latest only enough to increase his health and stamina two times per day.
Although the skills Leon could learn from monsters had many variations, their use was rather complicated for humans. For example, Leon could create Sleep Powder, but he couldn\'t use it alongside Fast Conjuration or Multi-Conjuration... he could only expand its range in order to make it level up faster or work on more enemies. Putting its use aside, Leon was learning the skills pretty fast... and before he could notice, two hundred years have passed since Sekundez\'s trial begun.

"My memory is starting to get full again..." Leon said once he noticed that two hundred years have passed. "Thanks to Mind Melding, I deleted most of the \'useless\' memories, but despite that, I am still feeling the weight of the years. I suppose that is inevitable..."
Leon hoped that he would leave that dimension within the worst-case scenario, memories of fifty years of experience, but it looked like that wouldn\'t happen. He was thinking about many things as of late, things that didn\'t make sense and things that were too suspicious, and he didn\'t want to get rid of those. One of them was the fact that the number of skills he could buy from Ilyana\'s vault was too big, considering that she said that she lived for five thousand years.
"Well, perhaps she also deleted some memories like me, and she feels like she only lived for five thousand years..." Leon said. "That would explain a lot, but it wouldn\'t explain how come she would still be an existence that could inhabit worlds in the third stage of assimilation."
Maybe unlike Leon, who always allocated the status points as soon as he earned them, Ilyana wasn\'t using hers in order not to make her presence heavier for the planets, but even if she is really doing that, it won\'t make sense since she has one of Sekundez\'s fragment. In the end, Leon sighed because he couldn\'t find an appropriate answer, and he also didn\'t want to delete from his memories those worries.
