440 Chapter 438 (1/2)
Currently, Leon was in the middle of a labyrinth. The labyrinth was inside of a massive mountain range. After asking Ilyana about where he could find an intermediate fragment of Gnome, the spirit of earth, Leon went to another planet that had a lot of mountains and forests. Fortunately, this time, Ilyana knew where to find Gnome... the problem only started after Leon find the spirit. Just like Sylph, Gnome was a goofball that liked to play. In order to receive his powers, Leon would have to find him, at the end of that massive labyrinth.
”Why do you complain so much?” Celsius said, annoyed. ”Just break all the walls and move in a straight line.”
”That won't be fun!” Sylph protested.
”Gnome will probably get mad if someone destroys the labyrinth he created with such care... while he didn't have anything better to do,” Undine smirked.
”What a stupid trial,” Efreet said. ”If you are spirit, you have to test your powers!”
It was a waste of time, but Leon couldn't help but hear the spirits' complaints. Although he wanted to hear something useful to raise his spirits, he only became more depressed since they weren't worried if Leon would find Gnome in time or not. To obtain his cooperation, Leon would have to find him in twenty-four hours and to obtain his power. He had one week... twelve hours had already passed, and Leon was already sick of it.
”I guess always moving forward and to my left side won't work anymore... I got it! I will use Electric Armor, that should help me not to get lost.”
Until that moment, Leon only used Haste to move in order to conserve mana, but since Electric Armor would also burn the path he passes, it would be an excellent way not to follow a path he already explored.
In the end, that simple decision solved Leon's problems. Even though the mountain range and the labyrinth were massive, they had a limit. After saving a lot of time not exploring the same places over and over again, Leon found Gnome.
”Aww... you found me,” Gnome said, dispirited. ”You are the first person that found me so fast... but the next time, I will create an even better labyrinth.”
”Next time?” Leon frowned. ”Wait a minute...”
Before Leon could protest because it looked like Gnome would cause problems for him every week just like Sylph, he turned into a yellow sphere and entered Leon's body. The energy stabilized like usual, and then he received the notifications.
