In the end, Leon had to kill zombies for a full year before the creatures finally stopped coming out of the sea. Leon felt like he just survived the most stupid zombie game ever on the lunatic mode. Still, he leveled several skills to the max level thanks to it, not like he had any choice but to do it.

"In the end, using oil and fire became one of my main strategies..." Leon sighed. "Ah, come on... give me at least a day off."

Leon protested when he saw some mechanical spiders leaving the ocean. Despite his protests, he was quite satisfied with it because he would obtain coins again. Besides, that was the start of the second stage of assimilation.

"In the end, the bosses never appeared," Leon rubbed his chin. "I wonder why..."

Putting such worries aside, Leon summoned his own mechanical spiders. It would take a while to fill the island with those creatures, but Leon wasn't in a hurry, so it was fine. Still, eleven years have passed since the start of the trial, and Leon couldn't help but wonder for how long he would have to deal with that situation. Considering the tomes that he could buy, it was clear that he wasn't strong enough to defeat the harvesters that threaten Earth, but the constant grinding was becoming more and more difficult. The only times that he didn't feel bored was when he was trying to learn new spells, and given his creativity, those moments were getting less and less frequent.

"Now that Transmute reached the max level, I bet I can create some things to kill time," Leon rubbed his chin. "The problem is, I can only create things that I understand."

Transmute was useful, but Leon couldn't create a PC, for example. Because he didn't know every single thing, he could find inside of it. In the end, Leon created some simple pitching machines. However, even though his speed and dexterity were considerably low compared to another status, it was still more than enough to hit a ball flying at one hundred kilometers per hour.

"By using Mind Summoning, I bet I can create some pitching machines that shot balls faster than the sound." Leon nodded to himself. "Hell, with a skill like that, I can probably create the death start itself."

"Even god-like spells have limits..." Leon said. "Still, even though I can't change some memories, interacting with some of my past memories isn't half bad, I just have to do it with moderation."

Regardless, a few years have passed since the time Leon used all his spells in order to make them reach a certain level. Even though he felt like it was time to repeat that, Leon decided to learn some other physical skills. The knowledge he obtained when he practiced Steel Claws and Bite would be put to good use.

First of all, Leon created a random sword and then started to transmit his mana and stamina toward the blade. As expected, using his energy to cover some parts of his body was much easier. Still, he didn't give up. It took more than a few days to learn it, but Leon felt more than satisfied when he finally succeeded in using the skill and split the ocean for a few seconds.

"No wonder is so powerful... the cost of the skill is pretty impressive," Leon said, surprised. "Besides, I can only use this with weapons like sword and axes."

It wasn't a spell that would surprise an enemy since Leon couldn't instantly cast it, but it could have its uses. The blade of energy that would fly once Leon swung his weapons were fast as lightning, and the effective range was quite broad as well. However, that just one of the skills Leon wanted to learn.

The second weapon Leon created was a lance, it was difficult to use, but the movement Leon would have to replicate was relatively simple. Much to Leon's surprise, he learned the next skill much faster since he just focused his mana and stamina on the tip of the lance and made it fly toward his target.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Mana Sting.

Cost: 300 mana and 300 stamina

You obtained 01 status points.

"Well, well..." Leon said after succeeding in using Mana Sting for the first time. "It is slightly faster and more powerful since it is a concentrated attack, but Mana Blade is cooler."

Although that kind of training was fun, it wasn't that efficient since Leon could create elemental variations. Most of his spells had similar effects, shapes, and sizes, after all. Fortunately, the same logic didn't apply to Leon's punches and kicks. But the long names were a bit annoying.
