Unlike sitting still and casting spells, filling, filling, and refilling, sparring could not last long.

Leon went down to the ground and let out a long breath.

While he was wiping the sweat running down his chin with his sleeve, Felix also approached Leon after polymorphing.

“There is no defensive magic?”

“There is.”

It was possible to summon Arpina’s earth attribute summon, Black Orb, and create a shield made of lumps of rock.

“That’s because I can’t stop your breath.”

Even if you stack 9 magic spells, you still can’t escape the limitations of basic magic.

Because of that, I couldn’t even take off my Guardian Robe for fear of being fatally wounded, so I only had three defensive magic circles left.

“What is this? I can’t just breathe it out.”

“… You are strong.”

“Haha, it’s nothing compared to my sister.”

Felix, who had been wagging his tail as if he was in a good mood, opened his mouth again.

“But where do you always disappear to by yourself?”

“… .”

“Don’t ask.”

Kito, who was watching the match, approached.

“Why?”

“It’s my master’s secret. You don’t need to know.”

“You speak so harshly, Sister.”

I still can’t get used to the three heads of the snake, each with a sullen expression.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

Since Kito kept the secret to a reasonable extent, Leon disappeared into the space inside the jewel without hesitation.

I sat cross-legged in the air thick with magic.

The magical power that had been depleted began to fill up like a wave.

‘Defense magic… … .’

Breath magic was difficult to block with Leon’s current defensive magic.

The only way to avoid it was to accelerate.

‘Am I being too simplistic?’

Leon could manifest nine spells at a time, but up until now he had only used one spell to increase the number of spells by nine.

Because it was immediately helpful in a combat situation.

‘You can apply magic of various attributes simultaneously.’

For example, weakening it with strong wind and fire magic, then blocking it with a stone shield.

This was possible with Arpina’s basic magic.

Because I realized the harmony of these attributes in 5 stars.

However, there is a limit to weakening and blocking with Arpina’s basic magic.

However, if you were to use high-level magic, there was the burden of having to calculate all the magic formulas, each with their own system, at once.

It wasn’t impossible, but in an urgent combat situation, you never knew what mistakes could be made.

It’s also difficult to shout out different spells at once.

‘Either there is truly multi-attribute magic that handles multiple attributes with one system, or you can create your own system through ‘harmony’.’

Of these, Leon chose the latter.

I had already decided not to expect multi-attribute magic to come out and to do so.

Leon, who realized the true nature of the wall blocking him, stopped sparring with Felix.

He immediately spread the ‘Providence of Harmony’ that Arpina had given him before they parted ways.

The Providence of Harmony was a B-class magic.

Useful up to Advanced Mystery, but not quite enough for B+.

Since the Providence of Harmony was an upper level magic of the basic magic of Arpina’s four elements, the basic magic was boldly omitted.

This spell deals with summoning superior summons of the four elemental summons of Arpina’s basic magic from level 1.

The blue slime-shaped summon that Leon can currently summon turns into a fish summon, and the bird that is small enough to fit in the palm of his hand turns into a firebird that is big enough to cover Leon’s body.

This wasn’t much different from when I was training Arpina’s basic magic.

In just one week, Leon mastered the first level of the Providence of Harmony.

The second level covered magic that created summons with attributes that had not been covered before, such as electricity and wood, and furthermore, it covered the advanced process of ‘harmony’, which allows you to summon six summons at the same time and treat them as one body.

This was the realization Leon was seeking.

Even if you treat them as one body, you still need six threads of will to have six summoned creatures cast magic at the same time.

In that respect, the providence of harmony was also a magic that those with little talent could not learn.

This means that the Arpina who created this is at least a carnivorous being.

For reference, from 3 stars onwards, you can use the secret magic, Six-Transformation Linked Strike.

It was a magic where summons of 6 attributes would activate their own attribute magic at the same time, inflicting fatal attacks on the enemy in succession.

When reaching the polarity, Arpina could use the great magic, Yukhapcheongwang (六合天光), which she used to kill Rodrik.

It was a stage that Leon, who had not yet perfected the Glorious Lightning Magic, could not touch.

For a month, Leon focused on learning the two-star magic of the Providence of Harmony.

“All come out.”

As the magic power swept away, six summoned beasts rose up around Leon.

It is definitely a B-class magic, so it consumes a lot of magic power.

A blue dragon with water attribute.

A bird of fire attribute.

Clouds of wind attribute.

A turtle with the earth attribute.

A wolf with the lightning attribute.

A butterfly with the tree attribute.

In the case of the water attribute, the example used in the magic book was fish, but in reality, the summoned beasts of Arpina’s magic were closer to the embodiment of ‘idea’, so their appearance reflected Leon’s personality.

The phoenix, unlike Arpina’s bird, had an appearance closer to a hawk.

‘My summons are definitely more oriental… … .’

I wonder if there is a concept of orientalism in this world.

‘We must treat them as one body and gain a deep understanding of harmony.’

This process will take quite some time.

However, based on this, Leon was planning to try to combine each attribute magic he currently possesses into one.

Ten Thousand Leaves, Glorious Lightning, Whirlwind, and various C+ rank attribute magic.

At least you have to be at the level of Mystery to be able to attempt it.

Furthermore, if later on, all SSS-class magic can be combined into one magic… … .

‘That’s a bit ridiculous.’

An idea that I think is arrogant at this level.

Leon came out of the orb and approached Felix.

“Can we spar?”

“… What, you’re still here? You really… … .”

“Hmm.”

“No. Okay, let’s do it.”

Felix looked at Kito, who was lying on one side, and then got up.

Felix, who came out of the lair, immediately released Polymorph.

“—–!”

The now familiar Felix’s peer.

And then one of Felix’s heads breathed out.

“Blow and burn.”

The cloud floating beneath Leon’s feet and the phoenix floating beside him opened their mouths at the same time.

As soon as a strong wind blew, the flames from the Phoenix’s mouth merged with the wind.

The wind of fire collided with Breath.

Because it is a secret-level magic, its power is significantly stronger.

Because it had properties that were good for dealing with poison, the poison mixed into the breath was weakened.

However, it was not enough to completely withstand the breath.

“Come together.”

Seven overlapping stone shields follow.

It melts as soon as the breath touches it.

“Run.”

The clouds beneath Leon’s feet moved.

It wasn’t as instantaneous as the acceleration of the Golden Wings, but it was fast enough to escape while blocking.

‘You did it without using any artifacts?’

Breath passed Leon by.

“How many times did you have to use magic to block one breath?”

“I blocked it anyway.”

“That’s true. I did let it slide though.”

That was right.

It was a breath coming from one head, and even that was weak.

“I applaud you for coming up with a solution so quickly, but if you’re just that arrogant… … .”

“Get away.”

Leon immediately struck Felix with nine lightning bolts.

Dismissal-

As expected, there is no major impact.

Except that Felix’s head went down after being struck by lightning, and it felt like he was bowing his head.

“… … It’s ridiculous.”

“The sparring isn’t even over yet.”

“… .”

Felix suddenly swung his tail.

Leon used acceleration without hesitation to avoid the tail.

It was a possible move because it was expected.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to use artifacts?”

“I said I wouldn’t use it in breath.”

“… .”

All three of Felix’s heads opened their mouths.

“Wait a minute.”

Felix, who seemed about to use his breath at any moment, closed his mouth.

Because Kito got between the two.

“Are you that good at fighting?”

“Huh? Sister, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Follow my rare.”

“Why?”

“Tell me who the arrogant one is.”

***

After that, Leon continued to spar with Felix several more times.

Without using any artifacts, you have to try hard to avoid the breath attack and counterattack.

But the power of that counterattack was extremely weak.

Then it is time to increase the power of the counterattack.

“That kid… … He just looks for what he needs… … .”

“What the heck?”

“No. By the way, Sister, aren’t you being too favoritism?”

Leon continued his training by breaking down the walls he encountered through sparring.

Five months have passed.

“Hit it.”

Kururung-

In an instant, the sky darkened, and dark clouds quickly gathered together like swirls.

And then lightning started striking like crazy in an area that could fit five people.

There was a flash of light as if the sky was splitting open.

Dismissal- Dismissal-

After the lightning stops, the residual current remaining on the ground crackles and emits a blue light.

And the sound and light gradually grew weaker and faded away.

You have completed the beginner level of secret magic.

Although it took much longer than the originally planned three months of training, I was proud to say that I had built a more solid foundation.

‘But I still have a lot to learn… … .’

The homework that lay ahead was to reach intermediate level in secret arts.
