"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.
Congratulations! The skill Staffmanship has leveled up.
You obtained 01 status points.

"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..."
