Emily is occupied because she wants to make dinner for Leon before he leaves for his mission. She also prepared everything that he might need on his trip.Although she didn’t expect that they would be separating this early, she tried her best to understand his situation. Perhaps, this is an important matter for him that he needs to prioritize at any cost. The things that she has heard through Leon and Morrison’s conversation earlier have started to sink into her mind.“Are you sure you will be leaving this evening? Can’t you wait until the sunrise tomorrow?” asked Emily with a worried voice.She saw Leon wearing his shoes and jacket and seemed ready to leave the cottage. “Sorry, but I can’t wait another day. I need to leave this evening no matter what happens,” Leon replied seriously.“At least, eat first before you leave. The dinner is ready,” Emily offered. However, Leon just shook his head and said; “No need, I’m in a hurry. Thanks for being thoughtful, though.”He was about to o
Leon was in deep thought until he finally remembered his mentor’s words: “The blood running in your veins was enough to unlock many doors for you.”His eyes widened as he tried to process the information that Morrison gave him. The man’s words are so deep that he needs to dive in before he can dwell and understand its meaning.“What does it mean, Professor?” he mumbled to himself. He wishes that Morrison would appear in front of him again but he was not on the verge of life and death yet. So he must figure out it on his own.At that time when the man told him these exact words, he assumed it was only related to the other people in society but today, he was grasping deeper to find out what was the real meaning behind those words from his mentor.As he stared at the snakes, he felt a little strange because when he was young, these creatures were he despised the most. He was afraid of snakes since he was a child but at this time, he feels like he was able to tame them.“If the Professor
Leon stood up there with his eyes wide open as he anticipated a magical event that was about to occur in this place.He was right because as the tree was binding with the stone, a green aura formed around Leon, and he felt a strange pull before the force field went slack again.“What the hell just happened? Why am I feeling something weird in my body?” Leon was so confused.After the green aura surrounding him was gone, he felt incredibly strong as if he suddenly became more powerful than his previous self.In return, Leon gains a superpower: the ability to communicate with animals. However, even though he also felt that something changed within himself, he was not fully aware of the superpower he just obtained with the help of the forest stone.Since he was able to present the stone in the ancient tree, he gained a superpower in return. So this was what his mentor was talking about when he said that he could only become more powerful than Lord Rosenberg once he collected all the magi
As expected, Leon struggles to stop his raft due to the fast-flowing of the water in this part of the river. But he uses his quick wit to think of an immediate action.“Damn, I need to get the stone at all costs,” he tried to encourage himself. Thinking about the possible superpower he can obtain once he gets the magical stone, makes his heart overflow with burning desire.Leon stuck out his oar to stop his raft from floating downstream, and he leaned forward to reach the stone. But there is a resistance around it which makes him hesitate.“Oh no, what is happening? Don’t tell me I need to pass another obstacle again?” Leon was tireless.It seems that his journey is getting more rough as he reaches his goal. Like what his mentor said; “The closer you are near to your goal, the more obstacles appear in your way.”Every time Morrison tells him this kind of creepy statement, he does not pay attention since he thought he was just being a nerd teacher to him.Little did he know, it was hi
Leon feels more motivated than he ever was before. This was because he was becoming more powerful than he ever imagined to be.He was aiming to improve his abilities and strength since the beginning because he knew he was lacking in these areas. It was the reason why his enemies always regarded him as a weak person and called him a wimpy kiddo, obviously mocking him.Leon made sure he was able to drink some water in the river to quench his thirst. He still has a long way ahead of him so he needs to preserve his energy to continue his quest.He needs to be successful in this mission so that once he comes back to the cottage, he will be a different person from the way he was before. The wimpy kiddo shall turn into a powerful version of himself as a true worthy owner of the Ring of Apollo at all costs.Leon sets out on the next journey, and the map leads him to a vast savannah, the home of the Lion Stone. Just his feet landing on this land, already makes him have chills all over his bod
Leon freezes for a moment, he is so frightened by the fact that the lioness can make him a supper in just a snap. He clearly knows how fierce this animal is yet he still wants to rely on his ability and tries his best to get near the altar.He’s already here and he finally located the Lion Stone after several days of hardships, why would he give up easily just because of a fierce lioness right?“You can do it, Leon. Remember that your mentor believes in you even though you were not a perfect disciple that’s why you should also believe in yourself,” he mumbles, encouraging himself not to show any fear in this kind of situation.“What are you doing here, feeble man?” the lioness snorted. Leon heard what it was about so he prepared himself with another negotiation.He was starting to establish this kill since he obtained the superpower to communicate with animals. Although it was not an ordinary skill, he was trying to embrace it because he could surely use it throughout his journey.“He
Leon was still overwhelmed with his recent achievements and his eyes were filled with joy. He has never been so confident with his ventures as he was at this moment. He feels like whatever obstacles life will throw at him, he can surely overcome them using his skills and power.“I wonder what is next in store for me? But whatever it is, I must do my best as always!” He gave himself a little tap on his shoulder.He has been really doing a nice job so far so he deserves to at least acknowledge his own effort. While he was savoring the momentous moment in his life, his feet were starting to get numb.Without realizing it, he has been walking continuously, non-stop since he started his first quest. That’s why his body starts to react.However, he doesn’t give a damn care even though his feet are swollen, there are more important matters that he needs to pay attention to rather than minding a little bruise in his body.“This is not fatal so I should not get worried about it,” he just shake
When Leon’s eyes opened next, he was beside a body of water. He frowned as he scratched his eyes, wondering how he came up here when it was clear in his mind that he was in a scorching desert the last time he checked.He still feels a little weak now and it seems that his mind is malfunctioning. Could it be some sort of hallucination out of his exhaustion and thirst? Perhaps it could be the reason.As he pinched his head, he suddenly remembered what he had seen before he fainted on that day in the desert, they were his parents and he did not doubt it!“Oh no, my mom and dad were there. I saw the glimpse of their faces but it was another too near yet so far moment for me,” he was saddened by it again.He always loses the rare opportunities he was given to meet his parents. Even though it will be just vague or only in a dream, at least he can meet and talk to them while seeing their faces fully and clearly.“When can I see your faces clearly? Would there be a chance to embrace you?” Say
