Although Leon\'s new skills had powerful names, he couldn\'t help but sigh while looking at those notifications at that point in time. Doing things right for the sake of status points made him lose some time… conceptual magic wouldn\'t be easy to learn and replicate since he wouldn\'t be able to use it just by learning a single spell would need a lot of time to understand it. But even with Ilyana\'s help, things weren\'t progressing as fast as he wanted.
"In the end, I have to be patient because I also need the battle experience that the shadowy figure and Netro have… Still, they only faced weaklings in hundreds of fears, so perhaps their combat experience won\'t help me all that much."
It looked like Leon would have to trust on his instincts more than anything. He wasn\'t that smart despite being a mage, so trying to come up with some elaborate plans to defeat enemies much more powerful than he wouldn\'t be so simple. He was a guy who decided to be his life that his enemy would give up first when Netro decided to smash both of them with the sun, after all. If Leon had any doubts that planning ahead was one of his weak points, he confirmed that after almost dying.
Regardless, at that point in time, Leon was quite interested in how much powerful Ilyana was. Still, just using Appraisal wouldn\'t help him to see her status… Although that would be a rude thing to do, he had to see it in order to have an idea of how powerful the next opponents could be. Of course, asking Ilyana was out of the question. Leon couldn\'t learn a more powerful version of Appraisal either because Ilyana would know, so he only could trust his instincts to tell him that.
Given that Leon now had three hundred thousand mana points and Ilyana still could transfer to him that same amount of mana every second, it was clear that she could recover far more than that. Leon started to wonder how someone could recover so much without risking herself… She certainly wasn\'t using Temporal Variation, and Leon couldn\'t feel any signs on her that she was using Mana Magnetism by increasing the scope of that skill to its limits. The only possibilities remaining were…
"Her recovery is stupidly high. She has a stock of mana fruits, and several replicas are consuming them somewhere while transferring the energy to her… Or, she captured more than a few harvesters over the years, and now she is using them as batteries."
In the end, all three possibilities weren\'t that acceptable. If Ilyana was just relying on recovery alone and she could recover more than three hundred thousand mana points per second, then that would mean that she has one hundred eight million points in recovery, and that would be more than insane.
The second option didn\'t seem the real one because mana fruits could only restore one hundred thousand mana points even at the max level. A single person wouldn\'t be able to east that fruit so fast and considering the cost to keep the replicas active. It seemed like a waste of mana.
The third possibility seemed like the most possible. Instead of relying on replicas, Ilyana probably found some way to send all the mana of the people she defeated her while keeping them alive. That seemed like a good idea, but it was probably too late for Leon to do that… he wasn\'t strong enough, so he needed to absorb the minds of his enemies, and that alone would slowly decrease their status, after all.
"Haa…. Why my life has to be complicated?" Leon asked after a long sigh.
He was saving a lot of time thanks to Ilyana, but thanks to the urgency of the situation, Leon couldn\'t afford to worry or think of ways to do things in a perfect manner. Given that Ilyana lost many things, it wasn\'t possible to tell that she created a path to cultivate her power that seemed perfect, but it looked like she did it from an outside perspective.

Regardless, after allocating the status points he just obtained, Leon started to wonder if there was something else that he could do to become stronger instead of just increasing the numbers on his status screen. Although he lacked experience if compared to Ilyana and the woman who summoned the dragon on Earth, that problem would be solved somewhat thanks to the shadowy figure and Netro… Still, just like the points in his status screen, the fighting experience wouldn\'t be enough to make Leon reach the level of beings like Ilyana and that woman who had a massive head start from the very beginning.
