Even though Leon barely used Haste, Slow, or even Hibernation, in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed since the trial started. Leon felt like it was time to level up all his skills to the level two hundred and fifty because he was already bored with thinking of new spells. Although he learned a lot, most of them were just variations that would never be used in actual combat.

Among the dozens of skills, Leon learned, Fighting Spirit, War Cry, Spiritual Touch, Exhaustive Touch were the only ones who would be useful in some situations. Fighting Spirit was like Rage, but it didn't make Leon more impulsive. The effects of War Cry were already well-knows, but Leon didn't expect to learn it from monsters that only appeared in the first stage of evolution.

"By using Spiritual Touch and Exhaustive Touch, I will be able to decrease the enemy's mana and stamina while restoring my own energy," Leon said without a hint of satisfaction. "Well, I guess it is time to learn a new summoning spell."

In the end, years have passed since Leon bought any of Ilyana's tome. He almost had forty billion coins, so Leon decided to spend fifty million coins and learn how to summon mechanical spiders. The skill had a cool down, but something like that was just a minor nuisance.

"Mmm? Ah... Those monsters didn't have health and stamina back then," Leon recalled his time on Miebos. "I guess my summons can also have the skills that I don't have."

Although Leon wanted to make his monsters use Bronze Skin in order for him to try to replicate it, he decided to do that later, because, at the moment, T-Rexes were coming out from the sea. Leon didn't even notice that it was already time for that, but even though those creatures were a bit troublesome, Leon pay them no mind because just before, he had faced earth dragons, and they didn't have dragon hearts. It was evident that those guys wouldn't have too.

"I don't understand the logic, but it is kind of hard to understand things inside the mind of a spirit," Leon said.

Most likely, Sekundez's imagined that it would be too convenient for Leon if the dragon type monsters he faces have dragon hearts. Regardless, once Leon finished summoning enough mechanical spiders, he made some of them use Bronze Skin. Even though he couldn't use Omnilingualism yet, Leon could sense the mana being used by everything inside his Mana Dominion. Learning just by watching and feeling wasn't easy, but after watching and feeling countless times, Leon managed to replicate it.

"As I have suspected, it is just the evolved form of Stone Skin," Leon said after noticing his endurance increasing by two points. "The cost of the skill is two times higher, but the effects also increase at the same pace."

Since both Stone Skin and Bronze Skin could be used at the same time, Leon found a way to increase his endurance by a stupid amount. Although Leon was pretty sure, there was something like Steel Skin. He decided to learn it once he finds a summon or an ordinary monster that he can access its memories.

"Still... I have fought dozens of monsters until now," Leon crossed his arms and started to think. "If I remember well, the T-Rexes were probably the strongest mob monsters I faced. I didn't face Megalodons until now, not even three-headed dragons, and it is clear that those are bosses... What will happen after this?"

Leon thought it would take a few more decades before he finally deals with most monsters that appeared in the first stage of assimilation, but when he thought that, he didn't imagine he wouldn't face the bosses of those species. Thanks to that, during the next three months, Leon waited patiently for what was going to happen or appear once the T-Rexes reaches the level max.

Something much more stranger appeared when the T-Rexes disappeared. Instead of bosses, Leon saw hundreds of zombies coming out from the sea at the same time and moving toward him. Although they weren't falling apart like the zombies Leon saw in movies and games, they were definitely dead. Their skin was gray and lifeless, their mouths were emitting a rotting odor that was strong enough to make Leon feel dizzy, and Leon couldn't see life in their eyes... they were definitely zombies, and that was strange because Leon didn't hear about them. Not even a single time.

To make matters worse, Leon saw that when he used Appraisal... those weren't regular enemies, and it looked like this would be a challenger like no other.
