BXBX NOVEL 317 Chapter 316
For a few days, Jorhorn\'s group used the cave as much as possible and only left in random moments to hunt the angels. They were being more careful than Leon imagined, but that was understandable. They lived for hundreds of years, so acting like that for weeks or months wasn\'t that surprising. However, the same thing didn\'t apply to Leon.

Leon managed to upgrade the last of his four holy mithril shields to its limit, but he wasn\'t satisfied with the speed of Jorhorn\'s group progress. Although Leon would probably live or reach their age, as long as he doesn\'t get eaten by a monster, he didn\'t have time to do things so slowly. So, one week after they arrived on Dalasiv, Leon decided to use his new spells on the monsters of the ocean. It was risky, but Leon wouldn\'t obtain power fast if he doesn\'t accept some risks. Much to his surprise, Jorhorn blocked his path.
"Where are you going?" Jorhorn asked.
"I\'m going to train," Leon answered. "Unlike you guys, I don\'t have all the time of the world."
"… You can\'t," Jorhorn said. "You will end up revealing our position, and it will take a while to find a good place to use like this if we get discovered."
"I will be careful," Leon said. "Besides, if the angels attack only me if they see only me. I will work as a bait, and you guys can finish them off. It is perfect, right? You guys will have the chance to kill the monsters without even leaving the cave."
"If we kill too many monsters here, even if we dispose of their bodies, we are bound to be noticed," Jorhorn explained. "That is why it is important to kill them in other areas."
"All right then…" Leon sighed deeply. "I won\'t cause problems, but in that case, you will have to be my target… in order not to cause problems for me, as well."
"What?" Jorhorn frowned, annoyed.
"I just want to level up my spells," Leon shrugged. "Hitting any powerful target will do. Don\'t worry. I won\'t try to wound you. I will shot at the same place, so you will be able to block. Here, I will even lend you one of my shields."
"… I don\'t need a shield," Jorhorn smiled confidently. "My spear will block every single one of your attacks."
"Well, your confidence puts me at ease…" Leon sighed in relief. "I will use an earth spell since you have a high tolerance against that kind of elemental attack. If you want me to stop, you just have to say. Also, to avoid any unpleasant surprises, I won\'t use any items that increase my intelligence."
Jorhorn bit his lips to the point where he started to bleed. Despite that, he didn\'t attack Leon; he only grabbed his old spear and readied himself. While Leon was putting the rings that increased his recovery, he couldn\'t help but frown while looking at him… there was a limit of how someone could be so unreasonable. Almost every single one of his actions or words annoyed Leon, and he does that intentionally, but he always got incredibly mad at the rare occasions Leon did the same.
Regardless, despite being a hundred years old, Jorhorn was the type who would self-destruct thanks to his short-temper and anger. Although that would cause some problems for Leon, he already had some plans of what to do in case the harvesters fail. Although it wasn\'t that practical, he could use containers to store mana liquid, and then he would be able to find the spirit of thunder. After obtaining that power upgrade, he would keep strengthening himself until he can Transfer himself back to Earth or find some other tome that may help him.
Anyway, without wasting much time, Leon shot several Spinning Earth Arrows toward Jorhorn\'s spear, he didn\'t even have to move his arms to block the projectiles. The speed also paled in comparison to the attack of the angels. However, every arrow made a thunderous noise when it hit Jorhorn\'s spear. Not only that, but it also made him tremble from head to toe, even though he didn\'t change his stance. Little by little, he was also being pushed backward.

"Hehehe, now we are talking…"
It was really useful to have powerful \'allies\' that could help Leon. Thanks to their existence, Leon could level up the spell he learned a few days ago, like crazy. The earth shards were hitting against Jorhorn\'s body and even leaving some scratches… even though he was supposed to have a strong resistance against earth magic.
"Mmm… using Multi-Conjuration would make this skill level up faster, but I don\'t have that much mana and recovery to keep using like that without relying on potions… wait a minute…"
Leon knew that even without using Multi-Conjuration, he would run out of mana soon. However, instead of worrying about something like that. He had another interesting idea… and couldn\'t help but smile while imagining it.
