BXBX NOVEL 677 Chapter 674
Leon couldn\'t remember the last time he felt so nervous about something, but he didn\'t lose his mind thanks to the profession system. Every single moment when he was awake, Leon would worry about when the harvesters would come. That apprehension was slowly but surely making him lose the feel nights of sleep that he already had.
Not only, that, but Ilyana had also been avoiding Leon lately. Thanks to that incident where he said that she had the power of lust. At the very least, she wasn\'t mad, but not talking with Leon made him feel as if he was a lamb that was about to be sacrificed. Besides, the mana she provided him was too useful, and he was missing that.
"I should be thankful that the harvesters are taking their sweet time," Leon sighed. "Still, thanks to that, I can only worry while imagining that they are preparing a sure-fire plan to obliterate Earth."
The enemies were harvesters, beings that were as powerful as Ilyana. So, Leon\'s scary imagination was helping him imagine all crazy scenarios. However, finding a solution to those scenarios was another matter altogether.
In any case, Leon was somewhat confident that he could still take out harvesters at the level of Netro despite the power difference. However, he wasn\'t so certain about the woman who summoned dragons on Earth. Leon didn\'t want it, but it looked like he would have to leave her to Ilyana since he couldn\'t imagine himself getting stupidly strong as Ilyana so fast, not even if he tries to master the profession system. Currently, even with all sorts of things Leon could draw mana from, he barely had enough mana to keep two replicas training in two mindscapes. So, he couldn\'t create a third place inside his head to master the profession system.
"Well, at this point in time, I\'m already used to this kind of problem," Leon shrugged. "Come to think of it. I can generate mana now… so I should see the limits and how useful that skill can be."
Leon activated the skill, but nothing happened. At least, nothing he could notice. However, after a couple of seconds, he noticed that he couldn\'t generate mana because his mana was already full. Only after summoning Volt, his mana begun to decrease. It was because his capacity to recover was mana equal to the mana required to keep his replicas working.
Leon tried to activate Mana Creation and confirmed that he obtained one hundred points of mana out of nowhere. That was certainly impressive given that the skill still was at level one. Not only that, Leon didn\'t even try to use his full power. He just wanted to test his skill.
"Mmm… It still is kind of hard to think that I\'m creating mana without doing anything," Leon frowned. "What do you think, Volt?"
"I think it is a beneficial ability that suited someone as talented as you," Volt replied.
"I\'m asking about what do you think about creating mana out of nowhere…" Leon said.
"You tend to question every single thing, Leon," Volt said. "That is part of your nature, so it is acceptable. However, you must understand that you are no longer a normal human. The very moment you surpassed normal humans\' lifespan, you should have understood that you have become something like a demi-god. After training for so many years without non-stop, you should feel as if it was only natural that you can do such a thing."
Volt\'s comment made sense, but Leon still could see himself as nothing more than just a human. If he weren\'t one, he wouldn\'t have made so many mistakes and lost some allies along the way. Leon wasn\'t normal anymore, that much he could accept, but he couldn\'t think of himself as an evolved form of the humans.
Still, considering that Leon doesn\'t remember a single day where he didn\'t train his magic, perhaps Volt was right. He should feel proud of his abilities instead of questioning them. Hell, he even had a skill related to pride…
"Well, let\'s try to use this skill on you," Leon said. "Since your body is made of mana, you should be fine, right?"
"Yes," Volt nodded.
Since the spirits were a part of his power, Leon thought he would succeed, but he failed. He couldn\'t create mana outside his body. That demerit made sense… otherwise, Leon could become a being that could accelerate the process of assimilation of worlds. However, he didn\'t give up.
"Let\'s see if we can do this while you are inside my head," Leon said and then canceled Volt\'s summoning.
Leon couldn\'t see the spirits while they were inside him, but he could feel their presence and after reaching his level, transferring his mana while they were there was something easy. Besides, Leon didn\'t forget about feeding his mana to the spirits in order to make them become as strong as their originals. This time, Leon succeeded, and, in an instant, he managed to give Volt 362 points of mana. Leon didn\'t know why that number was exactly that at level one, but he did his best.
"How do you feel?" Leon asked. "Is there any difference between my own mana and the mana I created?"
"There is no difference," Volt replied. "However, the mana feels a little cleaner for some reason."
Leon\'s eyebrows twitched. Although he knew that wasn\'t Volt\'s intention, it made Leon think that as if he had implied that his mana was dirt or something. However, it was only obvious that the newly created mana would be purer in essence.
"Well, let\'s add this skill to the skill of skills my replicas need to train," Leon said. "It is only obvious, but this spell will be very useful in the future…"
