Chapter 228

Although it was a convenient spell, it wasn't something easy to put into practice. First of all, even though Leon would be able to use it to cross larger distances when he levels up the skill, at level one, he would have to spend almost half of his mana to travel between two places that were one kilometer of distance from each other. Besides, he would have to use one thousand points of mana to create the 'checkpoints,' and the checkpoints had to have some gravures and that gravures had to be made of mana.

"It is a very complicated spell… I have no idea how the researchers discovered that." The girl said. " Can you memorize the gravures?"

"No, but I already learned the logic behind it, so eventually, I will discover the right patterns of the gravures," Leon answered. "Now, where are the archives about time-magic?"

The pieces information about teleportation, space-magic, and time-magic were pretty close to each other since those were deeply-related. So, the girl found it rather quickly.

"… This looks quite complicated." The girl frowned when he read the archives about time magic.

"What does it say?" Leon asked.

"It looks like the researchers are still in the early stages regarding the study of this type of magic." The girl explained. "Currently they managed to learn the spells Haste and Slow, they are trying to learn the version of those spells that can be used in multiple targets, but for the time being, they didn't succeed yet.

Leon frowned because the name of those spells was the same as the skills of a game Leon played alongside Betty when they were at high school. That made him recall some good memories, but he was more worried about why the name was the same…

"To cast Haste, you have to create a layer of mana around your body or the body of the target and make the mana move to all directions very fast." The girl explained. "To cast Slow, you have to do the reverse…"

Leon wondered why she thought that was complicated, but soon he understood why. His body wasn't like a sphere. The surface was uneven, so he would have to make his mana flow around his body, creating something like a torrent of mana. He couldn't let the flow of mana slow down by making the mana concentrate on a single spot… It would be hard to replicate that.

"Those spells will be useful… but I guess I will have to train for a few months to learn them. Regardless… I found less information than I thought, so I have some time to search for something more, but what?"

Teleportation, space, and time magic was what Leon needed to return home. But even that civilization didn't have all that much information about those…

"Information about summoning magic," Leon said.

"Do you think you can do the reverse thing the lizard did?" The girl frowned. "Beings capable of doing that are even stronger than the harvesters…"

"It doesn't matter… just look for it," Leon said.

Unfortunately, they didn't have much information about summoning magic, either. It looked like there was a dungeon that connected Miebos to a world where he could face a race similar to them to some extent. They weren't warriors, but they could summon swarms of monsters to fight in their place. Anyway, the people of Miebos knew that they could obtain the power to control monsters by forging a pact with them. But they still don't know how to replicate that kind of thing, and they didn't know how to move a being from a place to another without using Checkpoint.

"Shit… this is almost a waste of time." Leon clicked his tongue.

Time was running out, and considering that Leon would never have a chance like that again, he felt like he didn't learn enough. Although somehow that girl managed to unlock the archives room, he doubted that she could delete all traces of his or her actions. Besides, he couldn't keep her as a hostage to use her again another day, and since he would let her live, the researchers would amplify the security system.

��Look for anything related to magic absorption and magic that can restore mana and stamina," Leon said.

"… All right." The girl said.

Since it was hard to classify those spells, the girl had to look for quite a while, and only after checking several computers, she found what Leon wanted. But…

"It looks like it is impossible to learn how to absorb magic attacks… unless you make a pact with an Elemental Spirit. Although some magic items can have that power…" The girl explained. "Using your mana to recover your own mana is impossible, but you can transmit your mana to ally. You just have to infuse your mana to your ally while you decrease the tension of your mana. You should be able to do that since you managed to erase your magical presence. To restore stamina, you have to do the same thing, and you can use it to restore your stamina too. You just have to concentrate your mana on the lungs and the heart of your target."

The logic behind was somewhat simple, but even though he was interested in asking about those Elemental Spirits, he decided to forget about because the door of the archive room opened. On the other side, Leon didn't see anyone.

"Let's go… I will release you once we leave the building." Leon said.

Truth to be told, Leon wanted to get the hell out of that place as soon as possible, but he forgot the way back because he was too nervous. Regardless, after ten minutes, they finally left the research center. But when Leon was about to run like hell, he heard…

"Can I come with you?" The girl asked.
