BXBX NOVEL 290 Chapter 289
"I\'m an idiot... but an idiot with a clear conscience…" Leon murmured.
In the end, Leon had to move his base to another island. He didn\'t know if Alurelle would be able to track that place or not, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Although Leon could have obtained one hell of a magic item, he was satisfied with the knowledge that he obtained. It took two weeks of practice, but Leon finally learned one hell of a useful skill.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Transfer.
You obtained 01 status points.
Although it was a skill that was the upgraded version of Checkpoint, it was relatively simple to learn it. Considering that Transfer and Checkpoint were similar, Leon just had to apply the similarities of one to learn the other. After drawing the runes of Checkpoint using his mana alone and in a place a few meters away of himself, Leon obtained the power to cross distances almost instantly. However, the cost was absurd, and Leon could only transfer himself to places he could see.
"With this skill, I won\'t be able to return to Earth… but I will be able to give a very unpleasant surprise to Donan…"
Although Transfer was handy, Leon wondered if the next stage of that skill would be the real Teleportation. In his mind, Teleportation was something much more straightforward than creating a circle full of runic symbols… it was the power to cross massive distances with a single thought… but now that Leon was thinking about it, that was a god-like ability.
In any case, Leon decided to level up Transfer for a while in order to make the cost of mana more efficient. Although Leon defeated a harvester, he didn\'t let that feeling fool him. He defeated a weakened one, and he attacked Alurelle by surprise. The chances of her being able to dodge his full power attacks weren\'t null; in fact, it was pretty high.
"I have no doubts that a direct hit will kill Donan… but he is probably even faster than the harvesters."
Leon could have asked how the harvesters could become so big and how they didn\'t sink on the earth. He was also very interested in how they used many more spells than they had mana. However, the chances of Alurelles answering that were low because that would give Leon some insights into how he could defeat them in a confrontation, and she looked the type who would never do that.
"Hah….." Leon let out a long sigh. "I should have at least \'borrowed\' her swords…"
What was done was done. Besides, it was Leon\'s conscience that let him sleep soundly at night… so it couldn\'t be helped that certain actions were required of him.
"Alurelle said that they also use the dungeons of this planet… why?" Leon rubbed his chin. "Considering their powers, they probably cause dungeon breaks to make things more efficient… she said that they sacrificed millions of monsters to connect two worlds… they have a way to use the monsters\' energy?"
It was weird since Leon didn\'t see any suspicious skills when he used Appraisal on them. Most likely, it wasn\'t a skill… it was a racial trait or something. Like the people of Miebos became more skilled in using mana and, at the same time, became shorter and physically weaker. Alurelle and the others probably had a trait that granted them some advantages…
Congratulations! The skill Transfer has leveled up.

After practicing for one week, Leon leveled up Transfer to the point where he could move to the extreme limits where his eyesight could show him. He could increase the scope of his vision by flying, but that wasn\'t necessary. Transfer didn\'t have a cooldown time, so he could immediately use it after its use… as long as he has mana.
"Now, I just have to test if this skill works inside dungeons."
Using the same underground path Leon created before, he headed toward the goblins\' dungeon. When Leon left the hole he used to escape, he saw the destruction Dolan caused. His rampage left the entire area around the dungeon clean… at least from the rubbles of the previous city. The poison mist was already there, but the goblins\' villages weren\'t.
"It looks like he got rid of them…"
Although the territory was free of goblins, Leon could see some guards flying around, searching for the warriors who lived below their city… or perhaps they were waiting for Leon. But that was unlikely. Four months have passed since Leon was there, and those guys guards were seriously patrolling the surroundings… even if they were diligent, after so much time, anyone was bound to relax on their jobs. Those guards were definitely waiting for something.
"I should wait and see for a while… their numbers aren\'t that impressive, but even if I defeat them, Donan may prepare another trap for me while I\'m on the other world… I can\'t fall for the same trick twice."
Fortunately, Leon didn\'t have to wait inside a hole for a long time. Soon, the area started to tremble a little. When Leon left the hole, he saw some warriors attacking the guards. Among them, Leon recognized Gurr, Eadmund, and Anton.
"Why are they attacking the guards? Do they want to go to another world?"
That probably wasn\'t the case, Leon noticed that when the guards reunited in an area to fight, opening the path toward the dungeon. Despite that, Gurr, Eadmund, and Anton didn\'t even look at the dungeon. They were fighting vigorously… they weren\'t saving energy to go to the dungeon.
"I guess they are just fighting like always… I can use that…"
Leon didn\'t feel indebted to either of those three and besides, they had the advantage since they had the magic weapons Leon sold to them. Without a care in the world, Leon used Transfer and appeared inside the dungeon without letting anyone notice…
