236 Chapter 235 (1/2)
As much as Leon wanted to let Darya obtain the power to protect herself as soon as possible, he couldn't afford to wait any longer if she couldn't learn that on the easy way, which was by forcing herself to get used to her fear, Darya would have to get used on the hard way... while fighting for her life.
”Let's go,” Leon said.
”Are you going to try to clear the dungeon?” Dary asked. ”You think I'm ready?”
”No, you are not ready,” Leon answered. ”But time is of the essence... just try to learn as you keep fighting and make sure to focus on keeping yourself alive. You didn't practice all that much, but you probably can fly pretty fast if you use an earth platform. If something happens, escape and don't look back.”
Four months have passed since Leon came to that world. Although he got strong enough to defeat five elemental golems before running out of mana, he was aware that only that wasn't enough to clear the dungeon. However, Leon intended to compensate that by using mana potions. It wouldn't be that efficient, but by using mana potions to recover his mana and using his spells against a boss, he would be able to get stronger faster. Instead of using ordinary elemental golems, he would use the spirit of a boss to create his magic staff.
”Let's just hope my defenses increased to the point where I can survive for a while in a long battle...”
Leon's battle plan was... unconventional. Just like the time he left the island, he would try to recover his mana in a weird way. It was better to find a way to cultivate some blue angel leaves; in fact, he had some in his magic box. He visited the island when he was using megalodons to create magic items for his friends. However, when Leon tried to plant those… the poison mist sucked their mana and killed the plant.
Leon and Darya walked toward the dungeon, some golems tried to stop them, but they failed miserably. Although she wasn't that efficient, Darya was equally powerful as Leon, and with someone nearby to offer support, she didn't feel afraid. So, the golems were being defeated at a crazy pace.
Although they reached the dungeon quite fast, they stayed at the entrance for quite a while, because Leon brought fifty thousand mana potions.
”... Are you sure you are going to need that much mana potions?” Darya frowned.
”This is for both of us,” Leon said. ”It pains me to admit, but even though the level of your skills is lower, we can cause more or less the same amount of damage.”
”It's because of the mana crystal in my forehead,” Darya said. ”Still... to think that I would have to participate in such weird plan...”
”It is just to save time... since we have the same strength, the battle won't become easy, just shorter,” Leon explained.
His plan could have been much more convenient if Leon could customize his magic box... but he couldn't. Not only that, but Leon also couldn't even see on the dungeon shop anything related to the magic box being sold.
