BXBX NOVEL 581 Chapter 579
Even though Leon spent days training his skills and searching for interesting tomes in Ilyana\'s vault, he didn\'t find anything particularly interesting. The number of things he could buy was great, but sometimes Leon felt like some of the tomes only appeared randomly. In any case... Leon was more and more certain that Ilyana was far older than she said she was.
"Well, it wouldn\'t be weird if she has lost some notion of time if she did the same thing I\'m doing with my memories," Leon concluded.
Regardless, goals were necessary, and since leveling up his skills was something like breathing for Leon, he decided that his next goal would be to create something like the tattoo Ilyana created and put on his left arm. Creating a mini game-like system would be interesting, but it looked like Leon would have to do that later because a group of new, unexpected enemies appeared... witches.

"Well, that certainly is unexpected..." Leon frowned while looking at the witches, leaving the ocean while flying on their brooms.
The new monster surprised Leon, even more than the vampires since they had brooms, pointy hats, dark robes... the complete set of the old witches of fairy tales. The only difference is the fact that those ones weren\'t old and ugly. They were relatively young and very good looking. Their massive bust size was also something common between them despite the fact that the witches didn\'t look like each other, at least considering their faces... Regardless, Leon soon understood that everything was just an illusion created by Enthralling Aura, so he attacked them the very moment they left the ocean.

While Leon was learning the witches\' spells, he stared at them for quite a while, hoping that some stimulus would be sent to the holy sword. Illusion or not, the appearances of the witches was quite a sight for his sore eyes. Unfortunately, even though Leon\'s head was full of bad ideas, the holy sword was still completely sealed.
"... I should have known," Leon after a long sigh.
Not even a thousand years of isolation would make Leon give up on the holy sword, but even someone with that much determination couldn\'t help but feel depressed sometimes. Regardless, even though Leon wanted to train his skills as much as possible, he couldn\'t ignore the amount of mana the enemy has. So, he drained their mana as much as possible using his Soul Eaters.
An interesting way of using those enemies would be by creating several Soul Eaters and impaling them with it. Although the witches looked humanoid, at least considering their faces, they were essentially monsters. Despite that, Leon couldn\'t bring himself to do that. He wanted power and create more reservoirs of mana, but even Leon couldn\'t do something like that. He needed restraint, even against monsters.
"I guess restraint is the difference between the bastards who destroy worlds just to get stronger and me..." Leon said. "I can\'t forget that, no matter what."
Although that way of thinking always put more hardships along Leon\'s way, it was also a good thing for him mentally speaking. Always choosing the easy way out would, without a doubt, cause problems to him later.

Leon hoped to have a break after dealing with the witches, but a new enemy appeared with some skills that he didn\'t have. Still, for the time being, he could train them, but he was more interested in creating a game-like system as Ilyana created. Although that seemed like a waste of time since the system itself was game-like, Leon wasn\'t interested in the enjoyment he would have. He was interested in some aspects of games that couldn\'t be emulated in reality... if he could emulate those aspects, Leon would obtain a powerful hidden card.
"I guess creating a shop using her vault as a basis is the easiest method and the simplest application," Leon concluded after thinking for a while. "Now that I think about it... it isn\'t useless to create a shop-like system? Why would Ilyana create something that would be useless to her?"
Considering the application of the shop and only the owner could put things inside it, it wouldn\'t benefit Ilyana in any way if she had given to someone who doesn\'t intend to pay for tomes and items. There was a chance that Ilyana created that system to help the people of her world, but... Leon wasn\'t sure of it. In any case, that kind of training would be useful for Leon because he wouldn\'t train offensive spells, he would try to create concepts using magic, and if he succeeds...
