In the end, Leon had to work like that for a week. He only stopped when a mutant devourer appeared and didn't move from the front of the crystal. It looked that would be the new boss of the dungeon... Regardless, Leon confirmed that it was time to leave that place and report to Ilyana. But first, he would have to find a way to escape that dungeon while transporting via Telekinesis hundreds of earth spheres that had his size.

"I guess this is a job for you, Gnome," Leon said. "You like to dig holes and create paths inside a huge chunk of earth, right?"

"Yahoo! Just leave it to me," Gnome said after he appeared.

While Gnome was creating the path toward the top of the mountain, Leon made sure to get rid of every trace of his presence there. Once Leon realized that he would for more than a few days, he made sure to create some mithril during the nights while he meditated. So, he left the mountain and covered the hole pretty fast.

"Well, this is the time where usually something unexpected might happen," Leon said while looking around in the middle of the night and at the top of that mountain.

"So pessimistic..." Celsius said.

"After spending four years alone on an island before finally obtaining the power to return using magic and after being abducted by an alien lizard and then returning when nine hundred years passed on earth, I would be crazy if I weren't someone pessimistic," Leon frowned.

Despite Leon's worried, nothing happened. So, he just flew to the first place where he appeared in that world carrying tons of earth that were the earth spheres. Not even his control was enough to grant him the power to use Telekinesis and move three thousand massive spheres of earth. So, Leon lumped them all together.

Fortunately, Leon didn't have to wait even for a second. The very moment he landed it was the moment Ilyana teleported him back to her planet.

"You completed your job," Ilyana said via Telepathy. "Thanks for the help... about your reward. I think it will be enough if you leave the corpses that you brought to be absorbed by the land around you. It should create a zone similar to that dungeon, and that will also stay active for a week."

"Are you sure about that?" Leon asked. "Won't that increase the assimilation process?"

"It doesn't matter; the amount of mana this planet will receive after absorbing those corpses will only accelerate the process in a week or two. Besides, my castle is a place built to speed up the growth speed of my skill, and I did the same thing several times, and I wasn't planning to use this planet forever anyway."

Ilyana probably didn't offer Leon the chance of training in such a place because she knew he would refuse. Her reasoning was sound, so he decided to do it. Leon only noticed the difference the next day when suddenly, his golems and slimes started to cause a lot of noise. Their skills had gotten more powerful all of a sudden, and Leon received several notifications.

"This isn't bad, not bad at all," Leon said while he was allocating his status points.

Leon finally understood that that battle in Brazil probably helped the population quite a lot since he killed millions of monsters in the same area. Still, they had to price... hundreds of lives were lost there.

Regardless, Leon decided to focus again and make good use of that event, and the best way to do was by learning spells using tomes.

Leon was so focused on finding ways to absorb the energy of his targets that he forgot that there was an easier way to decrease their energy. It wasn't as nearly as effective or all-purpose like the spells he wanted but by Mana-Destroyer and Stamina-Destroyer. He could lay a trap on the ground that would directly attack the enemy's energy. Although its use was difficult, it was also very handy if a time comes when Leon has to face an army alone. That happened more than a few times, so that kind of skill was more than welcome.

"I won't be able to level up Stamina-Destroyer all that much, but I rarely find the monster or other enemies that fight only using attacks that consume stamina, I guess that is fine."

Mechanical spiders moved thanks to the mana in their bodies. It wasn't due to the stamina. In fact, they didn't have stamina. They weren't living beings, so it made a lot of sense. Despite the fact that the cost of the new skills was high and it wouldn't make Leon defeat the mechanical spiders fast, he wasn't nearly as worried about that because he would have the chance also to practice Trap Creation.
