93 Chapter 92 (1/2)

Leon managed to spend the first month in New York without letting anyone notice his presence. Although there were some rumors about him, no one knew his face. However, crossing the city covered in sand and blood made him stand out a lot. There was no water near the dungeon, so Leon only could clean himself at home. When Leon opened the door of his apartment, Gisela welcomed him with her mouth wide open of surprise.

”Master, what happened to you?” Gisela asked.

”I'm not your... forget it,” Leon sighed. ”Can you buy something for our lunch? I'm starving since I lost some weight to recover from my wounds. Don't run.”

”Yes, master,” Gisela said.

Although Gisela wasn't a stranger anymore and she had to train, Leon pretty much every time he wanted to take a bath, he would make her buy something. It was awkward to clean himself while someone so pretty was nearby, which was even more awkward since Gisela respected Leon a lot.

In the end, Leon burned those clothes since he wouldn���t be able to get rid of the smell of blood. Eventually, Gisela returned, and Leon started to eat while recalling the last battle. In the end, the problem was the fact that he was holding back to fit in that organization. However, he almost died because he was too weak physically.

”I guess I will have to train my body more frequently. I can increase my endurance and stamina just by training regularly, but I guess it is time to increase my health too... I'm not on the island, and most of the doubts vanished. I guess I'm ready for some painful training sessions...”

”Gisela, do you know how a person can increase health without using status points?” Leon asked.

”The only way I know of doing that is by eating dragons hearts, master,” Gisela answered.

”Is that so... that is a problem since no one can choose what kind of status the dragon's heart can increase.” Leon massaged his forehead.

In the end, it wouldn't be so easy to increase the stat that could increase the amount of damage Leon could take. There was a chance that someone discovered the method of doing that without using a dragon's heart, but since that information was too valuable, only a few handfuls of individuals could know that.

”I can't increase my health permanently... I guess the only is to learn some defensive or support spells.”

However, in the end, that was also difficult. Leon could use Mana Reinforcement to increase most of his stats to some extent, but he didn't need that. Besides, it was too inefficient to improve his dexterity or strength when he only used magic. He needed to learn spells that could raise his endurance, speed, and mentality to increase his chances of survival. By increasing those, he would decrease the amount of damage he can receive if he fails on blocking projectiles or direct attacks.

”Creating offensive spells is easy... I just have to give the shape and shot as fast as possible, but I have no idea of the logic behind support spells.”

At that point in time, Leon couldn't deny that he was a mage, and he knew the most common defensive spell for a mage, the Mana Shield. However, give shape and physical attributes to mana while he couldn't see it was just too difficult.

”And I didn't even learn how to absorb mana from cores yet...”
