Chapter 434

After a week doing nothing and just observing Sylph, Celsius, and Efreet doing whatever they wanted. Leon decided to resume his search for the other spirits. Those three were already noisy and somewhat troublesome. However, with their presence, Leon wouldn't feel abandoned or forgotten anymore. Although they weren't humans, they were part of his power and had their own interests and personalities... More important than that, they would always be there, until the moment he dies.

"Maybe that is why Ilyana can manage to stay sitting like that for so long... she has them too,"

"What does Ilyana have?" Sylph asked.

"Nothing... I was just daydreaming," Leon answered.

Leon went to Ilyana's castle, and she was like always, sitting cross-legged and creating elementals... Leon wondered what was her goal by creating them for so long. Did she want to level up the skill until level max? Or was that just a lazy way to obtain coins?

"Morning," Leon said, smiling.

"You seem a good mood," Ilyana frowned. "You also practiced for longer than I imagined you would... Good for you. So, what spirit will you look for now?"

"I guess the spirit of water..." Leon rubbed his chin.

"I see." Ilyana nodded. "It will be difficult to find her... I can't give you any directions."

"May I ask why?" Leon asked.

"The spirit of the water's temple is in a similar situation of Celsius' temple was," Ilyana answered. "It will be better if you see for yourself."

Without giving any other proper explanation, Ilyana teleported Leon to another purple crystal, and when Leon touched it, he understood what she meant by that. Leon appeared underwater; he was in some ocean. Leon reacted on time and swam upward, after flying upward for a while, he confirmed that he was in another 'water' world.

"So... the spirit of the water temple is underwater, and some creature is moving the temple from one place to another."

Leon let out a long sigh. It would be really annoying finding the temple underwater that was even truer since there were no landmarks above water, and Leon could only see the landmarks underwater when he was close.

"Do you guys feel the presence of the spirit of water?" Leon asked.

"Yes," Sylph answered.

"Obviously," Celsius answered.

"I'm bad at that kind of thing," Efreet answered. "But I'm good at destroying things."

"Okay... which direction should I go?" Leon asked.

"I can't tell," Sylph answered.

"Just find it yourself," Celsius answered.

"Finding the spirit is part of the trial," Efreet answered.

Leon decided to reevaluate the importance he was giving the spirits... they were a little important to keep himself sane and not depressed, but they were still very annoying. Regardless, the ocean was deep. So, Leon couldn't just fly above it and hope to feel the spirit of water presence. While Leon was wondering about that kind of thing, he felt something approaching at unbelievable speed. Without wasting any time, Leon used Transfer and appeared one kilometer above that place, and when he looked downward, he saw a massive snake-like monster leaving the ocean... it was one hundred meters long and had several fins along its body... it made Leon recall of the earthworms since that creature had a massive month, scary teeth and no-eyes.

"... Why I always find those damn colossal monsters with such ease?"

Leon escaped the monster's first attack, but the very moment the creature noticed that Leon escaped, the thing shot a small, but powerful cannon of water... It was the Water Beam, the evolved form of Water Cannon. The skill was so fast and powerful that Leon didn't have time to dodge and lost seventy percent of his mana when Mana Armor got hit. As if that wasn't enough, the attack shot Leon upward, spinning.

"Shit... do I have to find the water spirit inside an ocean where that kind of monster lives?"

Leon only managed to stop his body from spinning and moving when he was five kilometers above sea level. Fortunately, it looked like the Water Beam couldn't hit him from so far away. Because the sea-snake didn't show itself...

"I thought that I got stronger... but I guess I was getting ahead of myself."

Leon got stronger, but it looked like that was a monster that was almost on the fifth stage... a creature that grew much stronger than the current world it was in. After thinking for a while, Leon concluded that it wasn't possible that he would find a massive number of those monsters. Since it was very likely that it was a cannibal monster... Leon didn't find any other possible way to explain that absurd power. However, even if that were the case, Leon would have to lose a lot of time dealing with them... in order to reach his goal as fast as possible, Leon would have to use Summon Zombie.

"This world is probably on the third stage of assimilation... a single day here will equal ten days on Ilyana's words. How troublesome..."

Leon was in a bind, lose some time in order not to rely on a high that would solve his problems too fast, or rely on it and little by little dig his grave?
