Novel Bin 555 Chapter 553
Although the monsters Leon could summon using Mind Summoning didn\'t obey him, those creatures could give him coins, and he also could use Seal on them, unlike the monsters that that place spawned.
Considering Leon\'s control, he could upgrade a piece of equipment many times. The question was, what kind of equipment could help him at that moment? One that could increase the speed of his training would be a good idea. Leon already had a ring that granted him a skill at the max level, so he knew very well how useful such an item would be. But by using a ring or any other type of equipment that may grant him Haste at its max level, he would lose the chance to level up the skill. It was better to be patient and master that skill and instead think of another.
"Most skills have stronger and weaker versions," Leon said. "Maybe Haste has a stronger version."
Even if that was true, Leon didn\'t find such skills while using Appraisal on monsters, so he would have to learn and level up the skill the hard way. Most likely, such skill wouldn\'t make time pass faster, and he would have to experience even greater time in that dimension, but it doesn\'t matter because Leon would delete those memories.
In the end, Leon managed to conclude that spells like Time Acceleration and perhaps Future Hastening did exist. However, those obviously belonged to the spirit of time\'s power. Leon was exactly in that place because he wanted Sekundez\'s power, and the chances of him obtaining that without her cooperation were close to none.
"There is no tome in Ilyana\'s vault that has the power that I\'m looking for..." Leon said and then scratched the back of his head. "In the end, the only option is the simplest one... I have to increase my speed."
There was a possibility Leon didn\'t consider so far. It was that the reason he was getting so bored of things quickly was because of his speed. Although he always moved at the speed of an ordinary person before the monsters appeared, he was fully aware that his senses and reflexes were far too sharper than before. Maybe it only happened while he was focused or during battles, but it was clear that his mind and body moved much faster than before. There was only one way to find out... Leon had to run.
By activating Haste and Electric Armor, Leon could complete a full lap around the island in two seconds. Although he wasn\'t fully conscious of the fact, even though he couldn\'t remember the exact moments, Leon managed to run over only the beach instead of moving to the sea. That meant that despite the lack of total control over his body, Leon\'s body always ended obeying his will. Even without direct commands.
"It is like my body obey my instincts, even though my mind can\'t move at the same speed," Leon concluded. "In the end, intelligence doesn\'t increase the potential of my brain and the speed it works... it only increases the power of my magic attacks."
It wouldn\'t be the same thing, but Leon found some spells that would help him in that regard... one of them was pretty simple. It had the same effects as Haste, but it only increased the speed of his brain.

"I wonder why I didn\'t learn this spell... It is probably because it is a double-edged sword," Leon said.
Keeping Concentration active would help Leon to think faster, but unlike slow that drops the speed of mind and body, it increases the speed of mind to the point where one\'s body can\'t react in time. Considering the cost in mana, it was clear that there were better versions, but for Leon to use them, he would have to increase his speed.
It was quite a scary thought having a fast mind but a slow body. Still, it could become one of the best weapons under Leon\'s command. But first, he would have to level up the skill for quite a while.
"The chances of me being able to use Mindscape Materialization in this space are low since this place is obviously the same thing," Leon rubbed his chin. "But if I manage to do that, there is still a chance of me finding a way to speed of time in this place. Well, it will take probably twenty years to obtain enough coins to buy the tome, so I just have to wait patiently."

Patience wasn\'t one of Leon\'s qualities, but at least he didn\'t have to feel impatience for more than a few hours thanks to Mind Shifting. Also, thanks to Mind Shifting, he could delete those memories and keep his head refreshed to learn and create new spells. Although Poison Nova and Sola Typhoon weren\'t user-friendly spells, the others would be very useful.
Regardless, without a better option to pass the time, Leon decided to train all his skills again for a few decades until he obtains enough coins to buy Mindscape Materialization. This time... the session lasted for thirty years.
