372 Chapter 371 (1/2)
Leon flew for a while, but it looked like the scenario was repeating itself, he could only see magma, walls, ceiling, and rocks. As if that wasn't weird enough, those odd creatures that couldn't be analyzed by Appraisal never stopped from coming.
”I need to change my tactics. At this rate, I will die after exhausting my mana or even by this annoying and hellish heat.”
Leon stopped above a rock and confirmed that only three magma creatures were following him. For whatever reason, they couldn't keep themselves working after getting away from the place they appeared. So, instead of continuosly running away, it was better to deal with the three of them before others join the group.
”Let's see how well Frost Wave can deal with them...”
Leon shot a sphere of ice, and when the sphere hit the creatures, it exploded and ice-covered it. As it was expected, the heat of the river of magma soon started to melt the ice. To counter that, Leon moved the blocks of ice using Telekinesis to the ceiling, but even there, the ice was melting.
”This will only buy me a minute or two... it won't solve the problem.”
In the end, Leon could only solve the problem with brute strength as always. He was out of time, but he still decided to solve a lot of problems he was going to have at once since Leon lost his items.
Leon created a thin layer of earth under himself and sat on it while it approached the ceiling of that hellhole. After that, he started to meditate. His goal wasn't to increase his mana and intelligence. Instead, Leon wanted to learn Zen since it would be much more efficient to recover his mana using that.
Meditation started to recover Leon's mana, but the magma creatures began to attack his Mana Armor. He wasn't losing his focus, but it was clear that he was losing more mana than he was recovering... Leon had no time for that. There was no point in keeping Mana Dominion active. If he feels every single movement of the magma creatures, he will get distracted, so he deactivated it. However, it took a full hour before Leon could reach the level of focus necessary to receive the notification. Still, at least in that state, he didn't have to worry about the heavy air and the heat. His body was still suffering a lot, but he wasn't suffering mentally all that much.
