Chapter 262

After creating another underground route, and escaping from several krakens that were close to the coast, Leon and Darya begin to create some checkpoints while looking for a suitable island to use. In the southern part of the continent, there were numerous small islands, but none were big enough for their purposes So, they used those to create checkpoints. The cost to use them wasn't low, but it was the best way to escape from a place without showing to an enemy where they went.

Eventually, Leon and Darya found an island that was four times larger than the island Leon first got stuck on. They would have the chance to plant around four times more plants there... While it would be troublesome this would allow them to plant and harvest four times more plants. This became necessary due to the new training regimen that he wanted to begin.

"Here we go again..." Darya let out a long sigh.

"Less complaining and more working," Leon said.

Even though Darya was using Telekinesis to do everything, the job was too repetitive and monotonous. Even though they hurried, Leon and Darya only finished everything after a week.

"All right, you can have this," Leon passed the ring of gravity to Darya. "I would like you to try to crush me using the skill of this ring. Don't hold back because we don't have time to waste."

"... I thought I got used to your crazy ideas, but it looks like you get worse every day." Darya frowned. "Well, I don't want to kill you. So, I will increase the power of the spell gradually."

Leon nodded, he wanted to level up his resistances as much as possible, but in the end, he couldn't force a friend to do something so unreasonable. Besides, Leon also wanted to discover some insight into gravity magic while he was at it. He wanted to learn how to fly as soon as possible, and if he didn't learn by using Telekinesis, he would learn by using Gravity.

Regardless, Darya wanted to start slow, while she was holding back, her powers already could be compared with the liches Stagnation. Little by little, increasing the pressure of the space where he became very unpleasant. The pressure exerted was so great that even the sand on the beach was damaging Leon's skin.

After practicing for the rest of the day, while conjuring Heal non-stop, Leon managed to level up his Gravity Resistance six times, and he even understood a little how Gravity worked. Just like the time he wanted to learn how to control the magic inside his Mana Shield, he had to move his own mana to emulate the increase of gravity.

"This will be hard... I will have to send and control my mana to a place away from me and make the mana move emulating gravity."

Leon probably wouldn't learn the spell unless the manages to increase the pressure over the whole body of someone. So, he would have to envelop a target with his own mana and then make his own mana move to the points where he wanted while even invisible. It could annoy the opponents. He also would have to do that almost instantly, since the ring of gravity and the ring of telekinesis worked like that. It would be even much harder than learning Telekinesis...

"Well, my intelligence is increasing by the day thanks to Zen... so it shouldn't take that long to learn it."

Leon eventually got used to the pressure that Darya and the ring of gravity could cause. Since Darya couldn't increase the power behind that anymore, they have to do that for one week until Leon's Gravity Resistance reached level fifty. In the meantime, Leon and Darya were also trying to learn Gravity themselves, but since their mentality was high, they barely felt anything. Besides, the whole process was too complicated.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Gravity.

You obtained 01 status points.

It took Leon and Darya one month to finally receive that notification. In the meantime, they only increased their status and only leveled up a few skills. However, they endured that because they knew the potential of that spell. Both of them wanted to be able to properly fly instead of just using Telekinesis or earth under their feet.

Without wasting any time, they used Gravity to cancel the effects of Miebos gravity over their bodies. However, they had to level up the spell until level ten before their bodies could finally levitate. At the very moment, they used the spell to change the direction of the spell to downward to upward. They received another notification.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Fly.

Cost: 10 mana per second.

You obtained 01 status points.

"Hahaha, this is so fun!" Darya said, showing a large smile.

Although Leon and Darya weren't flying that fast, they felt an indescribable feeling of freedom. Controlling Gravity, they could fly. However, by using Fly, they could move toward all directions at the speed they wanted with a single thought... they didn't have to control their mana. That was why they felt so free.

That fantastic feeling disappeared when Leon felt something weird on the horizon. It looked like the air was vibrating in the distance... at first, it was just a small point, but the point slowly was getting bigger. Something was approaching…

"Quickly, let's hide!" Leon said.

Darya got caught by surprise, but soon she recovered herself because she knew Leon wouldn't act like that without reason. Without wasting time, they cast Mana Concealment on themselves and hid in a hole on the beach they created in case something like that happens. There was also a checkpoint under their feet that would transport them to an island thirty kilometers away from there, but before using that, they needed to see who or what was approaching.
