Leon felt the familiar sensation again, his body being torn apart and reassembled at the sa ti as space twisted violently around him.
Fwoosh!
When his feet finally touched the ground, he imdiately scanned his surroundings.
There was a forest, filled with faint magical energy that lingered in the air like an invisible mist.
’h, expected.’
He stood in a small clearing, trees surrounding him from every direction, their presence thick enough to limit visibility beyond a certain distance.
But Leon didn’t pay much attention to the environnt itself. Instead, he opened his panel.
[Level: 74 (235,500/840,000)]
’Well, a few dozen kills should do the trick,’ Leon thought with a faint grin as he stepped forward, his sword and staff already in his hands.
And just like that, he moved.
The first monsters he encountered were [Enchanted Goblins], small creatures that relied on magic and numbers to overwhelm their targets.
Slash!
They didn’t last more than a second in front of Leon’s power.
He cut through them effortlessly, his attacks precise and efficient, leaving no room for resistance.
He continued moving forward without stopping, encountering different types of enemies along the way: [Magic Gnos] and [Demonic Fairies].
Creatures that might have posed a challenge to others, but to Leon, they were nothing more than stepping stones.
Each kill brought more experience. Each battle ended quickly. And slowly, his progress climbed.
Until finally—
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 75!]
[Due to "Heaven’s Blessing", you have gained 450 points in all attributes and 450 free points to distribute.]
"Phew," Leon exhaled lightly, a small smile appearing on his face, "Only took about 30 minutes... I hope Celeste and Emilia aren’t too far behind."
And then, another notification appeared.
Ding!
[You have reached level 75, your experience will now be locked until you complete your second assessnt.]
[Do you wish to teleport to the "Expert Divine Temple" to undergo your fourth assessnt?]
[Yes] [There’s no other option anyway]
Leon stared at the options for a brief mont before selecting the second one without hesitation: [There’s no other option anyway.]
Ding!
[You have selected "There’s no other option anyway" and thus will be teleported to the "Expert Divine Temple" in three minutes.]
"Alright," Leon muttered as he quickly opened his [Storage Space], his expression sharpening slightly, "Gotta quickly do what I need to do."
With the three minutes he had been given before being transported to the [Expert Divine Temple], Leon didn’t waste even a single second as he fully opened his [Storage Space], his focus imdiately shifting to the items he had just obtained during his run through the [Enchanted Forest].
His gaze moved quickly but precisely across the contents, taking in everything at a glance while his mind processed their value and potential uses almost instantly.
[Enchanted Goblin Essence x18: Consuming will increase Strength by 13 and Spirit by 15.]
[Magic Gno Essence x12: Consuming will increase Spirit by 20 and Agility by 8.]
[Enchanted Staff x18 (Uncommon)]
[Sub-Talent Scrolls: x31 Super Spirit Enhancent (C-Level)]
[Gno Hat x12 (Rare)]
[Small Fairy Wings x32 (Uncommon Material): Can be used to craft "Fairy Wings", extrely fragile.]
Leon looked through all of it carefully before giving a small nod, clearly satisfied with what he had managed to collect in such a short amount of ti.
Especially considering that this was only a brief leveling session and not a full grind focused on farming.
The only slight disappointnt ca from the [Demonic Fairies], which hadn’t dropped any essences, though he didn’t dwell on it since they still provided materials that could be sold later, making them far from useless.
As for everything else, Leon already knew exactly what he wanted to do.
Without hesitation, he imdiately began consuming the essences.
Nom! Ding!
A series of notifications appeared as the effects were applied directly to his stats.
[ 234 Strength, 510 Spirit, 96 Agility.]
A faint surge of energy ran through his body as the attributes were absorbed, reinforcing his strength, sharpening his movents, and expanding his mana reserves all at once.
It wasn’t a massive increase on its own, but combined with everything else he had been stacking, it continued pushing him further ahead without any wasted effort.
Next ca the equipnt. The [Enchanted Staff] and the [Gno Hat].
Leon didn’t even consider using them. They were too weak. Too far behind what he already had.
But that didn’t an they were completely useless. Instead, he imdiately began fusing them.
One after another, the items rged together, their number decreasing while their quality increased, until eventually, he was left with two [Enchanted Staff 3] and one [Gno Hat 3].
Even after the enhancent, they still weren’t anywhere close to matching his current gear, but they were at least valuable enough to keep for later.
So he simply stored them back without a second thought.
That left one category of items that actually mattered: the sub-talent scrolls.
Leon’s eyes lingered on them for a brief mont as he thought about their potential.
’Emilia’s spirit enhancent sub-talent is C-Level... and Celeste’s is D-Level.’
That alone was enough to make his decision obvious.
No matter what, these scrolls would allow him to improve both of them. And not just slightly. Significantly.
When he had ntioned earlier that he expected to "get sothing" from the [Enchanted Forest], this was exactly what he had been referring to.
With a na like that, it was only natural that the enemies within would possess spirit-related sub-talents. And now, he had them.
Without wasting any more ti, Leon began fusing the sub-talent scrolls, combining them step by step, watching as their rarity increased with each successful rge.
The number of scrolls decreased rapidly, but their quality rose just as quickly.
Until finally—
Ding!
[Sub-Talent Scrolls: ga Spirit Enhancent (A-Level), Super Spirit Enhancent (B-Level)]
"Phew," Leon exhaled lightly as he nodded, satisfied with the result, "I guess it all worked out."
This was more than enough.
With these two scrolls, he could grant both Celeste and Emilia powerful upgrades to their spirit-related abilities, significantly boosting their effectiveness in battle.
And for Emilia in particular, this would be huge.
With her [Support Saint] title already amplifying her capabilities, increasing her [Spirit] even further would push her support abilities to an entirely new level, making her even more valuable in any fight.
Leon didn’t dwell on it too long though. There was still more to do.
His gaze shifted to another part of his panel.
[Free Points to Allocate: 11,950]
He hadn’t touched these points in a while, choosing instead to let them accumulate as he focused on other aspects of his growth.
But now, seeing such a large number in front of him, he couldn’t help but grin slightly.
Without hesitation, he made his decision.
"5,000 in Spirit, 5,000 in Strength, and the rest in Agility," Leon said quickly as he allocated the points.
There was no need to overthink it.
[Spirit] and [Strength] were his main attributes, the ones he relied on the most in both combat and skill usage, and more importantly, both of them were linked to S-Level enhancent sub-talents.
That ant every point invested into them would have an even greater impact on his overall power.
As the points were distributed, Leon felt the changes imdiately.
A surge of strength flowed through his body. His movents beca sharper. His mana reserves expanded even further. Everything about him improved in an instant.
And finally, he moved to the last thing he needed to do:
[Skill Stones x45] [Enhancent Stones x69]
Leon stared at the numbers for a mont, considering his options.
He had accumulated a decent amount over ti, though it still wasn’t nearly enough to fully maximize everything he had.
’Being able to max out all of our skills and equipnt will be essential in the future,’ Leon thought, his expression focused as he considered the path ahead, ’but for now... I’ll focus on mine.’
He knew that it was only a matter of ti before he would have enough resources to push everything to its limit.
Not just for himself. But for Celeste and Emilia as well.
And when that happened, their power would reach a completely different level.
But for now, he brought his attention back to the present.
More precisely, to the stones in his possession. And what he was about to do with them.
