I Can Level Up Infinitely

".1% comprehension? I will have to cast like 1000 ice balls to perfect it then. Let’s see how many spells I can master before tomorrow’s sun rise."

Leon walked out of the forest and headed in a random direction. "But I should pick the lower ones first."

Leon continued to roam around. He came across a few beasts but attacked none. One was a black lion, a C-Class beast while the other one was a giant humanoid boar, a B-Class beast.

After walking for almost three hours, Leon finally found his aiming practice targets. A horde of 30 elite goblins fighting against 25 razor wolves.

"Perfect. That’s what I had been looking for."

He quickly walked toward them and stopped at a 60 metre distance. He raised his hand. "Ice ball." He murmured without hesitation. A crude sphere of ice materialized before him and shot toward a razor wolf.

Bam!

The beast didn’t die but was skidded back. Before the monster could react, three more ice balls rained over it. One hit its head while the other two landed on its back.

Dead.

But the moment it fell, all the monsters who had been fighting among themselves stopped and turned toward Leon.

"Grrrhhhh!"

Before they could process what was happening, Leon hurled a few more ice balls. 5 to be exact. Two elite goblins fell. And then... The slaughter began.

The horde rushed toward Leon. Leon sprinted left and right, somehow escaping their reach. And amidst that, his palm continued to produce ice balls after ice balls.

[Comprehension level: 1.3%]

[Comprehension level: 2.4%]

Leon weaved between them and continued to throw ice balls.

After minutes, all the monster corpses lay sprawled on the ground.

Leon looked at the panel.

[Comprehension level: 17.8]

Leon quickly collected the monster cores and moved forward. He consumed the cores while marching.

[You have absorbed Qi.]

[Qi: 12,137,000/40,960,000]

Next, Leon met a horde of humanoid boars.

Without a moment of delay, he sprang into action. 20 of them were slain by him in less than 15 minutes. Each boar had to be hit ten times to be defeated.

[Comprehension level: 37.8]

Leon didn’t forget to swallow the cores.

[You have absorbed Qi.]

[Qi: 12,517,000/40,960,000]

The night had already fallen but Leon’s massacre didn’t stop. He continued to walk forward, searching for his next pack of hunts.

He met two more groups. By the end, his comprehension reached 72.4%.

[Qi: 14,942,000/40,960,000]

Leon was on his knees, gasping for air. "I thought it was going to be easy but I couldn’t even comprehend just one spell to its max."

He looked around. It was a mixture of white and dark. Snow land stretched far beyond his eyes could follow. And the darkness... It was silent and dreadful.

Just as he was about to stand up straight and start looking for his next targets...

Grahhhhhhhh! Grahhhhhhhhh!

Hungry growls echoed from behind.

Leon turned back his head sharply. First... Only a pair of round browns. Then another. And another. Soon the number crossed over 50.

Creek! Creek! Footsteps across the snow echoed as one of those round browns came forward. A white creature in full white except its head emerged.

"Tyrant ice bear." Leon whispered.

Then all those creatures came forward, all looking at Leon with hungry eyes.

"More than 60 D-Class beasts, huh?" Leon turned toward the horde.

"I didn’t want to use it... But....

System."

[Yes, Host.]

"The blade, please." Leon said as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The white blade with black hilt emerged gracefully. Leon slowly wrapped his fingers around the hilt.

"Come. Help me reach a breakthrough. I won’t forget your contribution in my cause."

Leon leaned forward slightly, his knees bending.

The horde of monsters lunged forward desperately as if each one was worried who would get the food. They were over 60. And Leon... He was one. But only if they knew what was waiting for them...

Leon still didn’t move... He only raised his hand holding the sword at the back.

The bests were getting closer.

40 metres. 25 metres. 12 metres. Only fives metres!

Leon finally moved, the snow caving in where he just stood. "First form....

.....

.....

....

....

Sword dance."

Instantly a white flash. The ice bear who was at the frontmost, thinking he had won the race for collecting food suddenly saw the world spin around it.

And then...

Thud!

It saw its body still standing. Just without the head.

Leon went deeper in the horde and spun on his heel. A full horizontal slash. Five white beasts were cleaved in half.

These were the very same monsters who had frozen Leon’s heart with despair just two or three days ago. But at the moment, they were nothing more than dummies for Leon to practice his sword art.

Leon’s damage was now at 42. And with the sword’s +150% damage effect, he was equivalent to a B-Class knight. How could these beasts even stand before him.

After already massacring half of the horde, something clicked in Leon’s mind. ’Wait. I need to comprehend my spell too. I will only use the sword when it’s a must. And the other times.....’

He didn’t finish his thought. Instead, a spehere of ice materialized in his left hand. But not crude anymore. This time it was smooth, polished. With his increased comprehension, the ice balls were now more efficient and powerful.

He hurled it toward a beast. The ice ball landed on its face squarely, ice shards erupting outside.

The beast didn’t die. Nor did it move. But that was enough for Leon.

Leon pushed his speed to the limit and started moving like a shadow in the darkness.

He appeared behind a bear and threw five ice balls at its waist.

The beast turned around but Leon had already vanished.

He appeared behind another one. He bent down and spun on his heel. The beast fell only to receive multiple of ice balls slamming in its face.

Leon continued this, intentionally dragging the fight.

Then after one hour, it finally happened.

[Comprehension level: 100%.

Congratulations, host. You have mastered 1st spell and comprehend second ice spell.]

[Second ice spell: Explosive ice ball.]
