10 Chapter 09 (1/2)
Since Leon could manipulate earth, water, and wind, he also needs to manipulate fire. However, he was aware of the fact that one would be difficult because he would have to mix oxygen, heat, and fuel to create it. It was also time to light up the campfire, so he approached it.
”Mmm…”
Leon tried to control his mana while connecting oxygen, heat, and fuel, but then he stopped. How could he control heat? Although he could feel the heat like the air...
Leon really wanted to learn that skill, but after trying several times, he gave up. He still was a newbie using mana, but he doubted that he would be able to control and understand it to the point where he would be able to control light itself.
”I shouldn't get too greedy here… I should feel content that I manage to pull off those crazy things.”
Leon lit the campfire the usual way and started to practice his earth manipulation, but then he stopped because he was feeling itchy all over his body. It was time to clean himself.
”Oh, man�� how will I survive here wearing the same tattered and dirty clothes?”
His shirt was long gone, his sneakers wouldn't be of any use while he stays on that island. So, Leon's clothes were basically his briefs and trousers, and those were already making his parts all itchy since he didn't clean them in three days.
”Well, there is no one nearby, so it is okay.”
Leon took off his clothes to wash in the ocean before the night comes; he would need them to sleep since his clothes were the only things that made him feel comfortable on that island. However, Leon stopped when he approached the ocean and saw several weird looking fishes with red eyes.
”What the fuck is that?”
Leon staggered and fell on his butt because those fishes were too close to the beach. They were so close that Leon could probably step on them before the water reaches his knees. Despite that, what really grabbed his attention was their appearances. Aside from the red eyes, they had fangs leaving the mouths, and their fins looked very sturdy and sharp. Leon's suspicions were right, many other monsters came to earth aside from dragons, and those fish looked like wanted to eat him.
”Now that I think about it… I don't feel all that itchy anymore…”
Leon made a mental note to check the other parts of the island the next day, but he wasn't expecting much. It looked like those weird fish had been there for quite a long time, somehow they could sense him, so they probably would chase him.
”Things were going too well… I guess it was time to find some problems.”
Congratulations! The skill Earth Manipulation has leveled up.
