Darya sure had a way with words... she was swift to annoy or depress someone. Regardless, Leon wouldn't change his mind. He would try to go home in the quickest way as possible, or he would die trying.
After waiting for two hours and confirming that the battle indeed ended, Leon and Darya finished the hole. Even before they could truly reach the ocean, the hole was starting to get filled with water. That was the sign Leon had been waiting for, so he and Darya used Mana Barrier, and they moved the earth faster. Suddenly the frontal part of the hole got destroyed by a massive waver of water that started to push Leon and Darya backward. But by using the gravity and telekinesis rings, Leon stopped that and even made them breach the ocean floor in a few seconds.
Leon expected that the ocean of advanced civilization would be dirty, but that wasn't the case. The Miebos ocean was a beautiful sight. Crystal clear water amid a soft white sandy beach. Unfortunately, due to the battle displaced monsters returning, they couldn't take the time to properly enjoy the view. As they could already see two mammoth creatures swimming in the area already.

Without personally battling each of these new creatures, Leon was unsure how well their powers compared to the most powerful sea creature, the megalodons, that he fought on Earth. Unwilling to risk battling these unknown foes, they escaped as fast as possible. Only shooting thunder bullets to slow the creatures down, as they made their underwater escape.
Four minutes later, Leon and Darya left the ocean and moved several hundred meters upward. Leon was pretty sure that the soldiers couldn't see them on the continent. So, he decided to take a break because Darya was about to puke after drinking several mana potions... she was the type of girl who didn't like to dirty her skin. Even though it was barely noticeable, anyone could see small fragments of blue angel leaves in the mana potions.
While Darya was recovering from that... Leon looked around and didn't see any flying monsters. That was kind of surprising because even though the world had a single colossal continent, it wasn't impossible that there were no dungeons in some islands. In fact, Leon was expecting to find an island that had a dungeon. Just practicing spells without a target wasn't enough for him, after all. Although he mostly would use blue angel leaves to level up Haste, he couldn't slack off on his magical training.
"Hey... have you heard about any dungeon that was outside the continent which didn't spawn aquatic monsters?" Leon frowned when he saw Darya's face was still blue.
"No... ugh." Darya let out the final wave of puke. "That kind of information they don't spread... only the victories of the frontline are shown to the public."
"Figures... Anyway, first let's look for an ordinary island." Leon sighed. "We will use the first island that we find as a base to plant some blue angel leaves and then let you learn Mana Concealment. After that, we will slowly look for an island that has a dungeon."
"I see… Mana Concealment will help us to avoid the eyes of the harvesters." Darya nodded.
Soon, they started to look for a random island, but then Leon started to frown. He was looking for some islands to stay, but as if that wasn't weird enough considering his past, Leon would stay on a desert island with a girl. He was pretty sure that he dreamed about that kind of thing at least once in the past... but right at that moment, Leon couldn't imagine any romance developing mostly, because it has been a very long time since Leon has seen anyone in an erotic light.
Leon sighed. Unless he stays awake for several days straight, he can't fall asleep when he wants mostly because he is worried about his friends and family. But he still had room to worry about his problems down there... he wondered if he wasn't taking things seriously...
It didn't take long before they could find an island, but they looked for another even farther away from the continent. The harvesters that were attacking that world were massive, after all. So, it was better to stay away as much as possible from the battlefield. Besides, no one knew what they do between battles. They could always return to their world, or… rest on Miebos.
"Well, we found the place." Darya looked around the island, which was three kilometers long and five wide. "What do we do know?"
"First, let's secure the place. Makes sure that no monster is nearby." Leon explained. "After that built a decent place to sleep and then plant the blue angel leaves… after that, I have to try to learn Telekinesis."
"Why Telekinesis so suddenly?" Darya frowned. "I bet we can learn more simple spells and obtain much more status points while we try to learn that skill."
"It is necessary, or we will lose too much time harvesting the leaves," Leon answered.
