BXBX NOVEL 210 Chapter 209
People like Hammath hated the guys living in the city above because they lived underground in a place where sunlight could barely reach. But survivors like Gurr hated them for many more reasons. Still, that wasn\'t Leon\'s problem, so he got up and looked at Gurr in the eye.
"I need your map, I will return to my planet using the dungeons," Leon declared. "It looks like it doesn\'t matter if you people use mana or not now that the harvesters are here, but you guys can\'t use mana freely. So, I will do that for you as long as you give me the map."
"Even if I wanted to trade the map for your services, which I don\'t want to," Gurr smirked. "It would be useless in your hands. Like I said, the dungeons evolved, and new ones appeared. Do you know why? Because the mana on our planet reached a level where it could create those connections. Eventually, the mana on your planet will reach the same level, but for the time being, you won\'t be able to use any dungeon on this planet to reach your goal."
That also made sense, so Leon bit his nails in annoyance. Gurr was mocking him for his choices, but in the end, Gurr\'s choices also led his people to live in that kind of place where the food was scarce, and water wasn\'t clean… if Leon was a fool, Gurr wasn\'t much better, and that only annoyed him even further.
Still, Leon couldn\'t afford to lose his cool. Once more, he was away from home, this time the trip back would be even longer, there was a chance that he wouldn\'t even return… but he couldn\'t lose his cool. He had to use his head to use everything in his favor in order to reach his goal.
"The knowledge and technology of the guys up above should be leaps and bounds larger than Earth. Maybe they can localize the position of Earth, and I will use a spaceship to return… again with those crazy ideas. Even though they probably advanced in many fields even more over the course of the last seventy years, I doubt that they have that kind of technology yet."
Leon wasn\'t alone, but he felt like he was back on the island. He couldn\'t see any paths that would lead him to his goal, after all. It looked like the frustrating days of the island returned to torment Leon.
"I can\'t wait until Earth reaches the second stage of assimilation… the only thing I can do is to learn how to bend time and space… even though I barely can control lightning."
Fortunately, Leon didn\'t have to feel like he was walking in a dark room. There was a way for him to learn that, instead of trying several different things hoping to discover what he wanted eventually. He just had to obtain the knowledge of the people above to find some clues or ask the harvesters. Both plans were crazy, those couldn\'t even be considered to be plans, but Leon had no other options. So, he left that house without looking back.
"Didn\'t you hear me? You can\'t return to your planet." Gurr said. "It is impossible."
"… Right now, it is indeed impossible." Leon looked back. "But not for long. I won\'t let my planet be invaded by greedy bastards… sorry for taking your time."
After leaving the house, Leon saw Hammath training with several other people. It looked like he wanted to talk, but Leon ignored him because he was already tired of the stares of those people in that village. Without waiting to receive permission, Leon left the underground hideout and then closed its entrance. Although Gurr was annoying, Leon didn\'t felt like causing problems to those who only feared him.
"First things first… fill my stomach."
Leon had no idea how many harvesters were trying to invade that world, but he knew one thing, their numbers weren\'t supposed to be that big. Otherwise, invading worlds to get stronger wouldn\'t be that efficient if the competition was fierce. Still, if only a few were causing a problem to thousands perhaps millions of survivors of Miebos, then they were strong as hell, and Leon barely had the power to defeat the guards of a peaceful city… he had to get stronger, and the fastest way was to eat dragon hearts. While Leon was toasting and eating dragon hears, he considered the things he could do to get stronger even faster.
"My goal is to return to Earth before the second stage of assimilation begins, to do that I need to learn a similar spell that lizard used to teleport me… I need the teleportation spell, but to reach Earth without knowing where in the universe it is, I will probably need a stupid amount of mana. My primary goal once again is to increase my mana…"
That way of thinking was the exact thing that made Leon put Earth on its path toward destruction, but in the end, it was the only thing he could do. Dragon hearts would increase his physical strength too, but he doubted that even by eating those and training his body like a madman would grant him the power to travel between worlds by leaping. Maybe learning how to fly and increase his Ice Resistance would grant him the power to cross the outer space, but he couldn\'t breathe��� Leon facepalmed… his crazy ideas were returning at full force.
"I need to find a dungeon and train to increase my mana before anything. Since using my spells against targets will make them level up faster."
