229 Chapter 228 (1/2)
Although it was a convenient spell, it wasn't something easy to put into practice. First of all, even though Leon would be able to use it to cross larger distances when he levels up the skill, at level one, he would have to spend almost half of his mana to travel between two places that were one kilometer of distance from each other. Besides, he would have to use one thousand points of mana to create the 'checkpoints,' and the checkpoints had to have some gravures and that gravures had to be made of mana.
”It is a very complicated spell… I have no idea how the researchers discovered that.” The girl said. ” Can you memorize the gravures?”
”No, but I already learned the logic behind it, so eventually, I will discover the right patterns of the gravures,” Leon answered. ”Now, where are the archives about time-magic?”
The pieces information about teleportation, space-magic, and time-magic were pretty close to each other since those were deeply-related. So, the girl found it rather quickly.
”… This looks quite complicated.” The girl frowned when he read the archives about time magic.
”What does it say?” Leon asked.
”It looks like the researchers are still in the early stages regarding the study of this type of magic.” The girl explained. ”Currently they managed to learn the spells Haste and Slow, they are trying to learn the version of those spells that can be used in multiple targets, but for the time being, they didn't succeed yet.
Leon frowned because the name of those spells was the same as the skills of a game Leon played alongside Betty when they were at high school. That made him recall some good memories, but he was more worried about why the name was the same…
”To cast Haste, you have to create a layer of mana around your body or the body of the target and make the mana move to all directions very fast.” The girl explained. ”To cast Slow, you have to do the reverse…”
Leon wondered why she thought that was complicated, but soon he understood why. His body wasn't like a sphere. The surface was uneven, so he would have to make his mana flow around his body, creating something like a torrent of mana. He couldn't let the flow of mana slow down by making the mana concentrate on a single spot… It would be hard to replicate that.
”Those spells will be useful… but I guess I will have to train for a few months to learn them. Regardless… I found less information than I thought, so I have some time to search for something more, but what?”
Teleportation, space, and time magic was what Leon needed to return home. But even that civilization didn't have all that much information about those…
”Information about summoning magic,” Leon said.
”Do you think you can do the reverse thing the lizard did?” The girl frowned. ”Beings capable of doing that are even stronger than the harvesters…”
