263 Chapter 262 (1/2)
After creating another underground route, and escaping from several krakens that were close to the coast, Leon and Darya begin to create some checkpoints while looking for a suitable island to use. In the southern part of the continent, there were numerous small islands, but none were big enough for their purposes So, they used those to create checkpoints. The cost to use them wasn't low, but it was the best way to escape from a place without showing to an enemy where they went.
Eventually, Leon and Darya found an island that was four times larger than the island Leon first got stuck on. They would have the chance to plant around four times more plants there... While it would be troublesome this would allow them to plant and harvest four times more plants. This became necessary due to the new training regimen that he wanted to begin.
”Here we go again...” Darya let out a long sigh.
”Less complaining and more working,” Leon said.
Even though Darya was using Telekinesis to do everything, the job was too repetitive and monotonous. Even though they hurried, Leon and Darya only finished everything after a week.
”All right, you can have this,” Leon passed the ring of gravity to Darya. ”I would like you to try to crush me using the skill of this ring. Don't hold back because we don't have time to waste.”
”... I thought I got used to your crazy ideas, but it looks like you get worse every day.” Darya frowned. ”Well, I don't want to kill you. So, I will increase the power of the spell gradually.”
Leon nodded, he wanted to level up his resistances as much as possible, but in the end, he couldn't force a friend to do something so unreasonable. Besides, Leon also wanted to discover some insight into gravity magic while he was at it. He wanted to learn how to fly as soon as possible, and if he didn't learn by using Telekinesis, he would learn by using Gravity.
Regardless, Darya wanted to start slow, while she was holding back, her powers already could be compared with the liches Stagnation. Little by little, increasing the pressure of the space where he became very unpleasant. The pressure exerted was so great that even the sand on the beach was damaging Leon's skin.
After practicing for the rest of the day, while conjuring Heal non-stop, Leon managed to level up his Gravity Resistance six times, and he even understood a little how Gravity worked. Just like the time he wanted to learn how to control the magic inside his Mana Shield, he had to move his own mana to emulate the increase of gravity.
”This will be hard... I will have to send and control my mana to a place away from me and make the mana move emulating gravity.”
”Well, my intelligence is increasing by the day thanks to Zen... so it shouldn't take that long to learn it.”
Leon eventually got used to the pressure that Darya and the ring of gravity could cause. Since Darya couldn't increase the power behind that anymore, they have to do that for one week until Leon's Gravity Resistance reached level fifty. In the meantime, Leon and Darya were also trying to learn Gravity themselves, but since their mentality was high, they barely felt anything. Besides, the whole process was too complicated.
