Over the course of the last month, Leon learned and practiced Mana Bullet. Since the skill didn't consume much mana, he managed to level it up until the level seventy with the help of Multi-Conjuration. That skill only consumed a single point of mana, but now it had the power to explode the small fry monsters that always appeared when Leon killed krakens and the ancient whales.

"…"

Things changed a lot in the last month, thanks to the wounds he received from Donan, and now due to the fact that he had no one to talk to, Leon felt like he had indeed returned to that island. Now he had thousands of blue angel leaves every day that he could use to train his skills just to himself. Still, if he could, Leon would instead share those with someone. Leon and Darya mostly talked about magic and what they could do to better their spells… However, now and then, they talked about their homes and lives… She was a friend to him, just like Hector, Gisela, and the others were.

It has been a long time since Leon leveled up Rage. It wasn't a coincidence, but it leveled up whenever one of his friends was under the control of the enemy. Rage didn't level up when Leon was trying to rescue Yuki, mostly because Leon was more disappointed with himself since he failed in protecting Makoto. As expected, Leon wasn't a hot-blooded person or someone or someone who would take most things seriously. But when family and friends were part of the equation, he couldn't keep his head cool.

"…"

In the last month, Leon didn't say a single word. He was pissed with himself more than anything, but he couldn't complain, nor could he waste time blaming himself for his bad choices. The only thing he could do was to keep training in order to obtain the power to defeat the harvesters and kick Donan's ass.

"…"

Leon still wanted to go back home as soon as possible and help his friends. However, Darya was also his friend, and she was much closer than the others. It was only obvious that his choice would be to rescue her first and find a way home later. However, he knew that even if he defeats Donan, things probably wouldn't be like before…

Leon knew that fighting up close didn't suit him. Mostly because of his status points, which were focused on intelligence, mana, and recovery. Still, he decided to train Rage, Mana Reinforcement, and Martial Arts. Why? Because he wouldn't be able to calm his rage unless he defeats the bastard in his own game.

Leon had no interest in a bastard that treats his relatives like tools; that was why he decided he wouldn't involve himself with him. However, instead of apathy, Leon felt pure hatred toward Donan… Still, even though Leon wanted to crush him with his bare hands, he couldn't. Leon wasn't strong enough. Besides, Donan has more or less sixty years of training and experience fighting with his fists alone. Leon was confident in a year or two. He could find a way to kill the bastard using magic. But he didn't want that… he wanted to break Donan's bones and destroy his flesh while feeling it with his own hands… Leon truly couldn't think straight when family and friends were part of the equation.

"… Here I go again trying to act like a one-man army again…" Leon sighed.

In fact, Leon knew that he already could invade the continent. It was very simple how he could do that. He just had to create thousands of zombies. Things would become even easier if he defeats the harvesters and turns them into his slaves too. Sometimes, Leon was really considering that. But in the end, he always cooled his head because he knew that Summon Zombie was a spell that would cause his downfall and because nothing would change after defeating Donan.

"I already failed, and nothing will change that… but when I succeed, I want to attain victory without relying on external help."

Leon already knew that the island changed him. Despite that, he was a bit too serious about succeeding alone instead of relying on someone or something else help. Although he considered himself as not a prideful guy, that kind of stubbornness was the sign of someone very prideful…

"Pride, huh… I guess I'm prideful."

Congratulations! You have recognized that you take pride in your powers alone.

You have learned the skill: Lion's Pride.

At that point in time, nothing would surprise Leon. To think that he would obtain such a passive skill just by accepting that he had one of the seven deadly sins… the assimilation was really something hard to understand.
