YM778.TV 550 Chapter 548
"Well now... these are some enemies I didn\'t expect to face," Leon said when the first group of liches left the sea.
Although they had been recognized by the system, Leon knew that the liches had been created by the shadowy figure. Still, that meant that Sekundez had been attacked by the shadowy figure as well. In any case, Leon couldn\'t help but start to wonder about some weird things again. Did Sekundez experience the assimilation in that exact same order? If the answer was yes, it was very weird because only someone very lucky would have the chance to get strong at a steady and relatively safe pace.
"It is also weird that she would have enough mana to defeat so many enemies," Leon said.
If the answer was no, why Sekundez would make Leon face the monsters in a convenient order? That was the kind of thing Leon couldn\'t understand since neither answers made any sense.

Although the elemental armors could make more or less the same thing, Leon felt quite satisfied in learning elemental enchantments. With them, he could make better use of the elemental weaknesses of monsters since he could add the power of several elements to his weapons and even his punches and kicks.
"Things are progressing well... soon, I will be able to buy the tome of Omnilingualism," Leon rubbed his chin. "Although I decided to learn Mind Summoning after learning Omnilingualism, I think it is a better idea to learn Mind shifting. Maybe if I delete my memories of this endless grinding, I will manage to handle the years to come."
Mind Shifting was probably what Donan\'s used to delete Darya\'s memories. Although Leon had decided not to learn that, that kind of power would help him. Those years alone were hard to deal with and it was clear that Leon wouldn\'t miss the days where he didn\'t think of anything and only used spells nonstop. But there was one problem, Sekundez. Would she cancel the trial if Leon learns and use such a skill?
"It is probably fine, Sekundez said that I just have to experience the same things," Leon nodded to himself. "Besides, she didn\'t stabilize any other rules. Sekundez probably knew who Ilyana is what this mark on my arm could do and still didn\'t say anything, after all."
It was a bit risky, but Leon was willing to take that risk in order to delete his own memories that would be useful. It was better to clean the HD of his brain and keep as much space as possible available for the memories of his family and friends. Leon was enduring that for them, after all.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Omnilingualism

In the week Leon became fifty years old, he finally obtained that skill. It was a weird present for himself considering Leon\'s age... even though he didn\'t feel any day older than when he was in college. Regardless, without wasting any time, Leon bought a wand in Ilyana\'s storage and since the wand had a skill Leon thought it would be difficult to replicate, it was the perfect test subject.
Flesh-Eater
It grants you the skills: Acid Beam Lv 400. Intelligence + 500, Recovery + 500, Dexterity + 500

"The skill isn\'t half bad, but it is crap if compared with Ilyana\'s tomes," Leon frowned.
Without wasting time, Leon activated Omnilingualism. As expected, since it was an object, Leon didn\'t hear voices, he only felt the exact same thing over and over again. The same thing the wand felt when Acid Beam was used... it was the only thing that objects only felt in its entire existence.
"I guess this answer one of my doubts... spirits sealed in objects no longer have consciousness," Leon said. "This information puts me at ease."
Although Leon did that over and over again, he always wondered how the monsters and even sentient beings he sealed in weapons felt. Although he still caused the death of those, that wasn\'t something he could regret of doing so. He only killed those who tried to take his life more than once. As such, Leon didn\'t feel all that bad for causing the deaths of assholes.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Acid Beam

"Mmm... it was easier than I had imagined," Leon said. "I guess feeling the same thing again and again helped a lot."
Leon received the notification after a few tries, so he confirmed his theory that he could learn skills directly from magic weapons. Not only that, it was much easier than he had imagined, the problem was the cost. Although Leon could obtain the weapons for free, his pride didn\'t allow him to do that. Still, Leon\'s mind was occupied with something else.
"That feeling... that feeling..." Leon said.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Acid Creation
You obtained 01 status points.
It seemed a bit late to learn that, but it couldn\'t be helped given that Leon wasn\'t that good at combining elements yet. Acid Beam gave Leon the chance to create acid directly by combining water and fire, so that was why he only learned that at that moment.
"Still..." Leon frowned. "I wish that I had learned this a little sooner. Learning this kind of skill when the current monsters are liches is quite troublesome."
Liches were monsters, Leon had no doubts about that. Still, their humanoid appearances made everything much more complicated.
