Although Leon couldn\'t use Instant Mastery since he didn\'t have nearly enough mana, he managed to level it up to the level two hundred the few times he used it. It wasn\'t that unexpected given how much mana he used, and in fact, he thought he would level the skill up many more times.

Instant Mastery

Cost: 60.000.000.000 mana

"The cost still will be stupidly high at the level max, but at the very least, it will decrease by three times," Leon nodded after checking the cost of the skill. "Regardless, I can\'t stop my training now even if Ilyana isn\'t around."

Fortunately, the next time Leon obtained a portion of Netro\'s memories, he finally found some clues as to how to use conceptual attacks. It wasn\'t a skill, so Leon wouldn\'t be able to automatize the whole process. However, that also meant that Leon wouldn\'t have a bunch of restrictions.

"It looks like the system doesn\'t recognize conceptual attacks…" Leon frowned. "I wonder why…"

The logic behind conceptual attacks wasn\'t that complicated. Complicated was to try to perform such deeds. What Leon needed to do was to make his mana do what he wanted without taking shape. He also had to do that instantly. For example, instead of burning someone or something by casting Fireball, Leon could do the same thing and ignore the target\'s mentality if he manages to make his mana contact the target\'s body and then move it in a way that would cause friction. Again… Leon would have to perform that instantly, or the opponent would notice, and their mentality wouldn\'t be ignored.

"It is like Anti-Mana Field… but more complicated since I\'m using in something else instead of on myself," Leon nodded. "That kind of thing must also be the evolved form of what that guy did when he fought to protect the rat people."

Leon immediately understood that trying to attack causing effects like burn and freeze would be a waste of time. Instead of that, trying to use conceptual attacks by imagining light and dark attacks would be more convenient because dark magic could destroy matter, and light magic could nullify the target\'s senses. Considering that Netro did, he probably inspired by dark magic, used that attack that split Leon in half many times.

Although Netro combined his Dragon Breath with the conceptual attack, it only was useful because he was a dragon. Spitting fire was like breathing to him because it was… Still, despite obtaining such mastery over that kind of attack, Netro could only do that once every few seconds.

,m "Succeeding in creating a spell like that must be pretty difficult considering that Netro could only the same area of my body," Leon nodded to himself. "Regardless… what is the most convenient way to use such concepts?"

Although Leon called them conceptual attacks, he was aware that they could be customized. Even though he was only good at destroying things and at everything else he had to train really hard, Leon couldn\'t just ignore the other ways he could use his mana. Just like he learned how to increase his mana to create coins and even increase his stats directly, he could be creative and use those concepts in other manners.

"Usually, I would have to start with the basics… but do I have time for that?" Leon rubbed his chin. "Although I can speed up the process of learning such technique by using the place where my replica is training, I also can\'t stop learning the abilities that the Necro and the shadowy bastard still have. From now on, I will need even more time to level up the skills I have, so just using Accelerate won\'t be enough."

Leon was in a bind; he didn\'t know what he should do to make things as efficient as possible. He could try to solve things with Foresight, but that would make him consume even more mana. Leon could solve such a problem by using Mana Magnetism. Still, he was already sacrificing his lifespan to keep Temporal Variation active, and he couldn\'t afford to destroy his spirit before he is sure that all those who may threaten Earth are dead.

"Well, it is not like I will need to use much mana on the early stages, so I guess I can train that myself while my replica keeps absorbing the minds of those two," Leon concluded. "I should start with something simple… I guess destroying a rock is simple enough."

Leon created a rock as big as himself and then began to implement the knowledge he obtained from Netro. As expected, even though Leon knew the feelings, the thoughts, and the actions, he didn\'t manage to replicate not even on a small scale that attacks that split him in half. Leon was emitting his mana in a shape that would split the rock in two, but he could see the mana dispersing quickly since he wasn\'t using a spell, and he clearly didn\'t succeed in creating the effects of dark magic with it.

After many failures, Leon changed tactics and tried to perform a conceptual attack that could split the rock like the wind… it would be much simpler to create wind the dark matter, after all. Still��� Leon failed many times and couldn\'t see any sign of progress.

"This isn\'t unexpected… but still is surprisingly annoying," Leon smiled bitterly.

Leon recalled the days where he was trying to learn more types of magic at that island, and that also made him recall that conceptual attacks didn\'t exist in reality, so he had to make his mana reach another stage of existence. That was easier said than done, but as usual, Leon was more than willing to accept another challenge in his life.
