16 Chapter 15 (1/2)

When Leon woke up the next day, he noticed that now he could control an earth sphere that had the same size of a fist. Thanks to that, he had an idea and decided to do some experiments. First of all, he changed the shape of it and created a somewhat short dart. The form wasn't perfect, but it looked like the projectile of a crossbow.

”I guess I need to work on that after I finish my water container.”

Leon made the dart fly around him, he tried to increase the speed, but it looked like it couldn't be much faster than himself. He also had to train his Earth Manipulation in that regard. Anyway, before Leon could run out of mana, he made the earth dart hit a tree. He heard quite a thud, but as expected, it barely scratched the tree, and the dart lost its shape and returned to the ground.

”I see… attacking using mana also decreases the amount of time the mana can be used.”

Perhaps Leon could overcome that problem if he makes the earth denser or if he tries to compress it, but at that moment, that was beyond his abilities. He needed to train some more, but he could visualize that soon, he would be able to create a stone bullet and kill those fish. He wanted to take a shower again, but before that, he had to get rid of them. Leon recalled that on the first time he saw them, around twenty fish were looking at him, but despite having killed three, the number didn't decrease, it increased. Now around thirty fish were waiting for the moment he would enter the ocean and become their meal.

Since Leon had a lot of things he wanted to confirm, he only ran and meditated between the sessions where he trained Earth Manipulation, and his tests paid off again.

The paths to get stronger and increase his chances of survival were quite varied. Leon also noticed some interesting things after those tests. For example, he had to meditate for a certain time to increase his mana. That being said, he didn't have to do that a single time. He could divide that session into many parts; he discovered that because he didn't have enough concentration to keep his head empty for a long time…
