Leon increased his intelligence and control to learn the spell faster, but it took one week for him to receive the notification… Although his intelligence increased his powers, it looked like Leon had some affinity with other elements instead of wind.

”Oh well… no pain, no gain, I guess.”
In the end, Leon's hard work paid off. Although Thunder Ray didn't fly in a straight line, it always hit Leon's target. Besides, the speed of the projectile wasn't something most creatures could react in time to dodge the attack. In fact, even after hundreds of years of battles, Leon doubted that even the harvesters could avoid that attack. Perhaps blocking them was possible, it would decrease the damage they would receive, but it would be painful and… shocking.
”All this trouble could be avoided if I had decided to buy potions or frequently use blue angel leaves. While I'm fine in using those to train, it isn't a good idea to rely on them in the middle of a battle. Any smart enemy will try to prevent me from using them. Besides, the moments I focus on restoring my mana will be a moment where my focus will wane.”
Leon didn't waste time and went to play with the fire earthworms using his new toy. Since Leon couldn't leave the hideout to buy potions and he was still replanting his blue angel leaves, he used Mana-Eater to restore some of his mana by absorbing the energy of some trash magic items he made. He had tons of those which were made of steel, and those aren't useful anymore. So, it was time to get rid of those.

Although Leon leveled up that skill non-stop for three weeks, in the end, he had to use it for sixteen seconds before he could kill a fire earthworm. Leon had to use three times more mana than Magma Spear consumed. He decreased that time by half using mithril rings that increased his intelligence, but then again, Leon didn't feel satisfied with that.
”I guess I would have to keep improving while I try to stop all the monsters of a single dungeon of this world by myself…”
The time finally came to crush all the angels' camps on the continent, so Leon had to put his training on hold because that was a job they couldn't fail.
