After making some tests, Leon confirmed that Protector's Realm didn't interfere with the bonus he received thanks to Lion's Pride. Maybe things could change in the middle of a battle. He would only see that when the time comes.

"Finally, my replica is obtaining some results.." Leon nodded. "Still, why the hell an alien creature would have a spell called Odin's Spear? I'm pretty sure that is a myth, and I doubt that story would have been made outside Earth.. Anyway, it looks like now I can use Railgun without having the proper weapon."

It was a bit too late for that given that Leon had far more powerful and convenient spells, but it was another skill that would grant him many status points, so that was just a side note.

"It seems that you are not progressing fast enough in accessing their memories," Ilyana said, using Telepathy. "I have a feeling that she will come soon, so I think I will help you with that."

Leon frowned when he heard that, for the first time, Ilyana said something that Leon was involved but didn't ask for his opinion. She wouldn't take a no for an answer, so Leon worried about what he should do. Still, deny her help and accept the risk that might not be strong enough to deal with the woman who caused his parents' death or just nod and say yes?

Lion's Pride already was at the max level, so Leon doubted that he would lose some levels. Besides, Ilyana would just offer him the mana that he needed to increase the speed of the passage of time inside his mindscape.

"I guess it is fine.. but do you think you are powerful enough to defeat her?" Leon asked.

"I am," Ilyana glared at Leon.

For the first time, Ilyana looked at him angrily.. Leon was experiencing many things as of late, and he couldn't help but wonder if that was a bad or good sign. Regardless, Ilyana touched Leon's hand and nodded, and then in the next moment, he used all his mana to speed up Mindscape Transportation. Despite that, Ilyana quickly transferred him to the same amount of mana. Thanks to all that, in reality, one second was equal to four days in that mindscape.

It didn't take long for Leon to feel that numbness again. Ilyana probably noticed that, but she didn't stop transferring his mana onto him. So, the only thing Leon could really do was to endure.

After a single minute, Leon had to stop and received those notifications alongside his replica's memories. As expected, having a lot of mana was really convenient. Despite having spent so much, Ilyana didn't feel even a bit tired.. her reservoir of mana was much larger than Leon's.

"I still need to keep increasing my intelligence in order to make my attacks more powerful, but it looks like it would be wiser to increase my mana and make time pass even faster in that dimension. Still, considering the future, increasing recovery also would help a lot.. I wonder what Ilyana would recommend if I ask her about this."

Before Leon could ask or even think of a solution himself, he soon activated Mindscape Transportation again when Ilyana touched his hands. Most likely, if she didn't give her opinion about his status until now, she wouldn't say anything if Leon asks. At best, he would hear an 'it is up to you.'

In the end, Leon didn't find the perfect solution, but he decided to compromise and increase all those statuses equally. If he finds the perfect answer in the future, at the very least, he would feel thirty-three percent less depressed by making a possible mistake.

Regardless, it was a pain in the ass to keep reading all those notifications, but Leon had no choice but to in order to allocate the status points obtained. Still, he doubted that he would have to endure that situation for so long.. Although he couldn't feel any after-effects for using so much mana for so long, even Ilyana wouldn't make Leon train like that for so long. At least that was what Leon thought.. he never imagined that he could be so wrong.
