224 Chapter 223 (1/2)
After discovering that Leon could control the mana, which wasn't his, inside the Mana Shield, he was one step closer to nullify the mana within a specific place. The problem was, the mana within the poison mist still could be felt, and Leon couldn't make the Mana Shield thinner to make it untraceable. He also needed to make his own mana untraceable, but that problem would solve itself once Leon finds a way to get rid of the mana within the poison mist.
”Let's see… shall I use Mana-Eater?”
Although the poison mist inside Mana Shield had become a dense, small sphere of poison that had the size of a marble, Leon still managed to absorb its mana. However, that itself didn't solve the problem. If he could use Mana-Eater to eat every single bit of mana inside the Mana Shield every moment, perhaps that could work… but he couldn't.
”This is so incredibly annoying…”
After a long sigh, Leon resumed his practice. He didn't recall complaining all that much when he was on the island. Perhaps, he complained a lot at the beginning, but after a while, he got used to the no-end practice… it looked like he needed to get used to it again.
”I guess my accomplishments after I left the while made me become a lax person… I failed sometimes, but I guess I succeeded more, and that was why I feel so annoyed right now.”
Learning offensive spells was so easy, that even if Leon had to practice for one week straight, he couldn't feel bothered by it, because he already knew the things he had to do. Although learning new things always made Leon feel proud of himself, the process before the success would always get on his nerves.
While Leon was practicing to make the poison mist inside of the Mana Shield reunite in a single place that wasn't near him, he noticed one thing. All the mana around him, which wasn't his, had also being absorbed by the mist. That was how the fog could keep itself working non-stop, but it wasn't the mist that made the ambient mana… Leon's mana did.
”I knew it… maybe if I learn how the poison mist spell works, I can apply the same principle to Mana Shield and absorb the mana of the environment… but first things first. I need to destroy it since I can't absorb it, yet.”
In the end, Leon learned and recalled on the most annoying way the first law of Thermodynamics… ' energy is always conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed.' In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another. Mana was a source of energy so that it couldn't be destroyed… he only learned that trying for one month.
”I should have done push-ups on the island instead of practicing magic… I'm too dumb to be called a magician.”
While Leon felt like he wanted to bury his head on the ground to hide his embarrassment, he felt someone approaching. It was Eadmund.
”It looks like you are having a hard time learning that…” Eadmund said. ”It doesn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure the people above didn't even learn such skill and never will since that would cancel their magic advantage..”
”Well, it's not the first time I'm having a hard time learning something,” Leon said. ”By the way, how do you know that? I thought that kind of information was a military secret.”
