"This is..." Darya said and then let out a long sigh.
"The island number 151 we found this week." Leon also felt like sighing, but he didn't. "I guess things won't be that convenient for us."
One week had passed since Leon had started to explore the ocean of Miebos. For some reason, Leon though they wouldn't find many islands, probably because the world had only a single continent. But he was wrong... still, they didn't found any dungeon so far. Although they haven't been neglecting their training, Leon was feeling like they were moving too much and soon would stumble upon a harvester... or the other way around considering the difference in size
After another day without any success, Leon and Darya returned to the island they were using as a base. Although if they find a dungeon on an island, their routine would probably change, the failures didn't. So, Leon and Darya, as soon as they returned, started to practice their magic. There wasn't any reason for both of them to learn Checkpoint at the same time, so Leon was the only one who was trying to learn it. While Darya was attempting to replicate the metal the lizards used to create the helicopters he gave to William and the others. After learning that, they would share their knowledge and provide some tips while teaching each other the skills. Since Darya was better than Leon using the basic elements, it was the perfect job for her. Meanwhile, Leon was trying to learn Checkpoint, which was something that one would have to have excellent control over its own mana to succeed in replicating.
Learning that kind of spell was necessary in case a harvester finds the island they are using. After that, Leon would practice it like hell because with his mana, he could only transport himself and Darya to another place one kilometer away from the original point, and he was pretty sure one kilometer wasn't a safe distance from those creatures which were like one hundred meters tall.
Until Leon learns that spell, he prepared an underground shelter in case something happens. The house and the blue angel plants would most likely reveal that someone was living there, but Leon also prepared an escape route through the underground shelter. So, they were fine for the time being.
It was hard to be sure, but it looked like the more intelligence one has, the faster one can learn spells. Considering the opposite of that, Leon understood why he had to spend a week to learn simple physical skills. His physical stats weren't strong enough for that... Anyway, much faster than he thought, Leon learned Checkpoint. Unfortunately, Darya didn't make any progress trying to create that metal.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Checkpoint.
Cost: 1000 mana
You obtained 01 status points.
"It looks like you are having a hard time... for a change." Leon.
"This metal is just too weird," Darya frowned. "I tried to infuse a lot of mana in the sand, but I never get the result I want. And I already managed to replicate all kinds of metal we have on this planet..."
Leon nodded, even though he also could create different types of metal, he always chose steel because it was the simplest and easy to create. Regardless, it looked like there was a trick somewhere to create the metal... but it wouldn't be easy. After all, the people of Miebos probably tried to replicate the metal but didn't succeed. Although it looked like a waste of time, neither of them would give up. They were confident that kind of metal would give them the chance to create more powerful weapons. Besides, by trying to replicate that metal, they were also training Earth Manipulation and Earth Transformation. It certainly wasn't a waste of time.
As much as Leon wanted to help, he decided to level up Checkpoint as much as he can for the rest of the day. Unlike the other spells, intelligence couldn't increase the effectiveness of Checkpoint. Only by leveling up the skill, Leon would be able to increase the distances they would be able to cross.
While Leon was traveling to the nearest island, he noticed that he didn't have to look for a dungeon on an island. The whole ocean was a dungeon that dozen of different types of enemies. More than that, he was pretty sure that creatures like Kraken and the ancient horned whale were perfect targets to level up his skills.
