Leon made his choice, and when he did it, he approached the ocean. A few moments later, the same sea-snake that attacked him came to chew his body, but Leon made it eat twenty-four lightning bolts. Leon had to use all his mana, but he killed the beast instantly... at the price of almost losing his hearing. Leon's lightning bolts were so powerful that their movement made the entire air in several kilometers vibrate.
”Phew... I guess I have to return to Earth and ask Yuki if they are selling headphones there. My ears won't last long if I keep using this kind of attack often and keep them unprotected.”
Leon solved that problem thanks to Multi-Casting, but he had time to notice that the last lightning bolt was the one that killed the beast. Since the skill level up, he would be able to save a little more mana, but it didn't change the fact that he would waste a lot of time making that ocean of that world explorable and secure.
In order to save time, Leon started to absorb the mithril of his equipment and flew around that world. Five minutes later, he found another sea-snake, and things repeated itself. However, this time, Leon escaped the Water-Beam. The creature fell on the ocean, but after a few seconds, it returned to annoy Leon, but his presence was ready to be delivered and then once again... Leon killed another beast using Lightning and Multi-Conjuration.
Although it wasn't good for his heart, Leon used that strategy to lure and kill the sea-snakes for an entire week. After doing that for so long, the tax of encounter decreased from twelve every hour to one per hour. It wasn't one hundred percent safe, but Leon couldn't keep going like that, he had to find the spirit of water because time was something he couldn't afford to waste. Leon decided to take some risks.
”I think I'm walking in circles being stubborn not to use Summon Zombie and still thinking that I don't have time to waste... in the end, I'm putting myself at risk two times more...”
Since Leon couldn't feel the mana of other living beings and keep Mana Concealment active, he had no choice but to swim and accept the risks. Well, floating was probably the correct way to say it, since he was using Mana Barrier. In the end, he wasn't that unprotected.
”I heard that some animals get scared when they feel the smell of their own blood in some enemies... Shall I do that? Will those monsters even feel the smell underwater? Can they even feel fear?”
