290 Chapter 289 (1/2)
”I'm an idiot... but an idiot with a clear conscience…” Leon murmured.
In the end, Leon had to move his base to another island. He didn't know if Alurelle would be able to track that place or not, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Although Leon could have obtained one hell of a magic item, he was satisfied with the knowledge that he obtained. It took two weeks of practice, but Leon finally learned one hell of a useful skill.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Transfer.
You obtained 01 status points.
Although it was a skill that was the upgraded version of Checkpoint, it was relatively simple to learn it. Considering that Transfer and Checkpoint were similar, Leon just had to apply the similarities of one to learn the other. After drawing the runes of Checkpoint using his mana alone and in a place a few meters away of himself, Leon obtained the power to cross distances almost instantly. However, the cost was absurd, and Leon could only transfer himself to places he could see.
”With this skill, I won't be able to return to Earth… but I will be able to give a very unpleasant surprise to Donan…”
Although Transfer was handy, Leon wondered if the next stage of that skill would be the real Teleportation. In his mind, Teleportation was something much more straightforward than creating a circle full of runic symbols… it was the power to cross massive distances with a single thought… but now that Leon was thinking about it, that was a god-like ability.
In any case, Leon decided to level up Transfer for a while in order to make the cost of mana more efficient. Although Leon defeated a harvester, he didn't let that feeling fool him. He defeated a weakened one, and he attacked Alurelle by surprise. The chances of her being able to dodge his full power attacks weren't null; in fact, it was pretty high.
”I have no doubts that a direct hit will kill Donan… but he is probably even faster than the harvesters.”
Leon could have asked how the harvesters could become so big and how they didn't sink on the earth. He was also very interested in how they used many more spells than they had mana. However, the chances of Alurelles answering that were low because that would give Leon some insights into how he could defeat them in a confrontation, and she looked the type who would never do that.
”Hah…..” Leon let out a long sigh. ”I should have at least 'borrowed' her swords…”
What was done was done. Besides, it was Leon's conscience that let him sleep soundly at night… so it couldn't be helped that certain actions were required of him.
”Alurelle said that they also use the dungeons of this planet… why?” Leon rubbed his chin. ”Considering their powers, they probably cause dungeon breaks to make things more efficient… she said that they sacrificed millions of monsters to connect two worlds… they have a way to use the monsters' energy?”
