"You should create at least ten thousand slimes if you want to level up that skill to a decent level," Ilyana said after another session of torture ended. "Those won't be useful in the future, but at least they will grow and buy you a few seconds if the necessity arises."

"Ten thousand slimes... that is a pretty big number," Leon rubbed his chin. "It will take a while to create that many... by the way, do you have any idea when my skill will reach level max with that many slimes attacking your monsters?"

"Something around one hundred and fifty years," Ilyana answered.

Leon opened his eyes widely after hearing that... it was insane, after all. Still, it kind of made sense since every skill had some drawbacks. No wonder Ilyana created elementals for months to make the skill reach the max level.

"If I create stronger monsters, you will be able to level up your skill faster, but..." Ilyana hesitated.

"Nah, it is fine," Leon said. "I was just asking because I was curious. Once I learn how to summon other monsters, we can make them fight to help each other, but for the time being, I'm fine with my own pace."

"All right, then," Ilyana said.

Leon left Ilyana's castle and did some math. Currently, he was obtaining around three hundred status points per day. So, if he keeps allocating his points equally into intelligence, mana, and control, it will take ten days before he can finally try how to summon golems. It was quite a good pace, but not enough.

"If I create some steel weapons and control them using Telekinesis, I will be able to level up passive skills like Staffmanship pretty fast... I guess I will do that."

"Aww... I thought it was my turn now," Undine said, apparently dispirited.

"Just wait for a bit, this shouldn't take too much time," Leon said.

It was hard to know if Undine was sad or if she was just trying to mess with Leon, so he decided not to overthink it. Leon created several steel staves and started to hit the Ghost-Swords with them. He already expected that, but be able to control twenty-five objects at the same time was still shocking.

"It is kind of scary that control can increase my ability to use Telekinesis so much..."

"You can multiply your speed by almost ten times, you have six intermediate spirits under your command, and you also have a colossal snake orbiting your planet..." Celsius frowned. "And you still get impressed by that?"

"Well... yeah," Leon acknowledged that looked pretty stupid. "But you guys aren't under my command. We are allies."

Putting the sweet words aside, Leon focused on his task of leveling up Staffmanship. In the end, the skill reached level eighty in just two hours, but the weapons were totally destroyed after that, and Leon even managed to kill some of the Ghost-Swords with such low-level weapons.

"That wasn't half bad... What shall I train next? Ax Mastery? I just hope Ilyana doesn't get mad if I kill a more of her monsters..."

"Why do you still worry about such things..." Celsius sighed.

In the end, after just a couple of hours, Leon managed to level up Ax Mastery, Hammer Mastery, and Whip Mastery up to the level eighty. He wanted more, but Leon didn't manage to learn new skills after using flails, knives, or even blunt weapons. Most likely, that kind of weapon belonged to other weapon categories.

"I didn't use many times, but I wonder if I can learn something like Gunmanship... I decided not to rely on tools, but it should be fine using a magic gun to obtain status points."

In the end, Leon decided not to think about it. When the time comes, if such skill becomes necessary, he was pretty sure that Ilyana would offer him a way to learn it and master much faster.

"Well then, it is your turn now, Undine," Leon said.

"Hah... just when I was about to take a nap," Undine protested when Leon materialized her.

Leon sighed, as always, it was hard to understand what Undine was genuinely feeling. Fortunately, she still taught Leon two spells... However, even though Leon could have complained while he was learning, he only did it after receiving the notifications.

"...What is the meaning of this, Undine?" Leon asked.

"You asked for two spells," Undine frowned. "Didn't you like them?"

"I want spells to defeat the enemies who will threaten my world," Leon said. "I don't want to clean them or wash their fields."

"Well, you should be more specific the next time," Undine smiled. "Since everyone just taught you two spells, I will only teach me after everyone's turn."

Undine disappeared and returned to the inside of Leon's head... The rank of troublesome spirits changed. Undine now was by the most troublesome one, even more challenging to deal with Sylph and Gnome. However, since she wasn't totally wrong, he couldn't complain. So, Leon did the only thing he could really do... he leveled up both Shower and Rain up to the level fifty.
