At this very moment, Leon's joy was simply beyond words.
Not only had he mastered a spell he had never known before, but after living by the rules in this world for eighteen years, he had unexpectedly come to understand this world anew!
It was the other side of the mountain that most people had never seen—
Sincerity was not the only way to borrow the Gods' power. That power did not even come from the Gods at all! It came from the written rules! Even if those rules had indeed been written by the Gods! "You You! We may have discovered a New World!"
"Eh? But hadn't You You already told Lord Demon Lord about this before—"
"It's different! Before, it was only a guess, but now we've proven it through practice!"
Leon excitedly paced around the Magic Workshop, circling in place within the dim Stone Cave as his thoughts continued to spread.
It was as though he had seen an apple fall before him, while the mysterious hand that had plucked it was faintly coming into view! The truth seemed to be right before his eyes.
Yet there was always a thin layer separating him from it. No matter how hard he pressed forward, he always seemed just one step short.
What a pity.
His actual job was being a Demon Lord, not a scholar engaged in research. He certainly did not have heaps of time to waste obsessing over minutiae.
"The barriers between different magic systems will be broken, and faith will no longer hinder spellcasting! What a pity. If only I could write these findings into a paper and publish them... If I keep digging, I might uncover something even greater!"
Thinking of this, Leon could not help feeling somewhat regretful.
He knew it was impossible.
