However, unlike Darya who needed to sleep at least six hours every day, Leon only had to sleep once every three days. He used that extra time to level up Haste. After another month living in that place, Haste reached level sixty, and now Leon could experience everything one hundred and sixty percent times faster. The only real problem they faced so far was the lack of monsters that resembled grim reapers. Since they were surrounded by the ocean, they didn"t found a single ghost-type monster.

Despite that, things were going well, perhaps too well. Leon had a feeling that soon something troublesome would happen and throw their current routine out of the rails... Leon didn"t want to let that happen before he solves the problem with the Zen skill.

"Checkpoint isn"t powerful enough to transport us from here to back to the continent... but at least it should take us to the halfway point."

"What"s wrong?" Darya asked.

"I was just thinking of leaving this place for a while to find ghost-type monsters that can suck mana," Leon said. "Even though we will only be gone for a while. We need to completely erase our traces from this island. Using Checkpoint, we will probably have an easy time leaving the continent to reach the ocean. However, to do that, we will have to reach the continent using an underground path. The best method of doing that is by..."

"Using the mouth of an ancient whale in order to save time, and we won"t need to go to the surface to get air…" Darya sighed. "I supposed it can"t be helped… I will get the plants, and you will destroy everything we created here."

Darya was a bit troublesome because she was somewhat childish, but she was quick to understand that sometimes things couldn"t be helped. It was unpleasant for her, but to avoid detection, they would have to travel inside the mouth of a monster.

While Darya was putting their stock of blue angel plants inside the magic box, Leon was making sure to destroy without leaving traces of anything they built on that island. After half a day, everything was ready, Leon used the zombie Kraken to defeat an ancient whale, and after that, he made the decaying corpse of the Kraken fall into the depths of the ocean by deactivating the skill.

Although they had to stop to make the whale stock some air, it was quite easy and fast since the monster didn"t have to put all his body out of the water. Regardless, when they were twenty kilometers away from the coast, Leon had the zombie stop. Then he created one of the points he needed to use Checkpoint skill. The limit of that skill was twenty-six kilometers at the moment, but it was better to keep some room for error in case something happens.

Fortunately, that job had been quite easy since the ocean in that area wasn"t so deep, and Leon barely could feel the effects of the pressure. He had to use his gravity ring to make sure Mana Barrier wouldn"t go to the surface, but something like that wasn"t a problem.

After travelling for a while, they finally reached the proximity of the coast. Leon and Darya were like two kilometers away from it, but if they get too close, the soldiers nearby would probably notice the zombie whale approach. So, they left the mouth using a Mana Barrier. Leon tried to find the hole he created, and he found it, but just as he had expected, something happened, and it was closed with some earth. Something like that couldn"t even be considered a problem, so both of them get rid of the obstacles and eventually found only the hole they created filled with water.

Using Mana Dominion, Leon checked if someone or something was nearby, but he found nothing. Despite that, he left he hole slowly, only to find he and Darya alone under the ma.s.sive city.

"It looks like no one came to this place since we left," Leon said. "Still, I will seal the hole just in case."

"What is the plan?" Darya asked.

"I will ask the few acquaintances I have here about ghost-type monsters," Leon said while he was creating the second part of the Checkpoint. "I"m sure Anton or Eadmund would give the information I want as long as I help them a little. Even if they don"t have the information I want, they can give me some clues."

After hiding the Checkpoint symbol under a fake rock, Leon and Darya flew toward Anton"s village. Along the way, Leon created several Checkpoints and hid them as well. Although only Leon and whoever he wants to transport could use those symbols, they could be destroyed. So, hiding them was a must. Leon would be able to cut down the time it took to return to the ocean, and even level up the spell, increasing its effective range. The only real problem of Checkpoint was the cost of mana and that he could only move between two-predetermined locations.

Although only a few months have pa.s.sed since Leon and Darya left that area, they managed to reach the territory of Anton"s village in two days, even though they had to fly during three when they headed to the ocean. Regardless, soon they noticed a few things... the number of b.l.o.o.d.y wasps was small, but not because Anton and his friends were making good use of the magic weapons. It was because they were fighting against something... and by the signs of destruction created by magic, it looked like they were fighting against the guards of the city above.
