Leon wondered if he asked nicely, the harvesters would let him punch them just to level up his skills. The difference leveling a skill that consumed a single point of stamina and another that consumed three hundred points of mana was insane… just before Leon left the whale because he was running out of air. He managed to level up Bash more than ten times… Leon, in ten minutes, leveled up the skill the same number of times he did in six years. Well, the fact that he rarely used weapons was also to blame.

"I guess this won't be difficult at all."

Although Leon's damage didn't increase a lot even though he was leveling up multiple skills, soon, he noticed the difference. After training for a single day, he returned to his base to test the power of his punches. As it turns out, Leon managed to crack a massive rock with a single punch… but he also broke his fists.

"Making full use of my mana without holding back changed my mindset more than a little… to think that I would punch a rock without caring for the well-being of my fists is… unsettling."

At least Leon learned his lesson and even learned a new passive skill. It was another buff that increased the power of his punches and the defense of his arms. A little more stamina was consumed with each blow, but something like that wasn't a problem with Stamina Restoration. Eventually, Leon's fists became powerful enough to defeat the small fries that lived on the ocean.

"Those buffs are a little different than the ones I imagined before, but they work well enough…"

Little by little, Leon was reaching the physical strength he wanted to crush Donan. Just like Leon, he probably didn't have much endurance, using his superior speed and the skills he got by the god of death, he could overpower his foes. So, Leon was confident that his punches would make him taste his own blood. Once Leon drains all his mana, Donan was bound to show his hidden cards. After that, things would become more difficult, but Leon didn't want an easy victory anyway.

Although Stone Skin leveled up quite a bit in the battle against Donan, Leon decided to level up even more. Even though he already got used to pain, he wasn't fond of it. Despite that, for the sake of efficiency, he decided to let the stronger monster of the ocean hit him with its tentacles. Luckily, Leon decided to be a bit reasonable and wear his armor. The troll king's armor was almost a trash item in comparison to Leon could create, but it was the best armor at his disposal since Leon always created weapons and rings, instead of real protective gear… Regardless, he regretted both choices. A single tentacle of the Kraken had enough power to make Leon almost hit the bottom of the ocean. Not only that, his armor than endured the shot a railgun got destroyed… Leon almost died.

Leon used his powered Magma Spears to kill the beast because it liked to attack the defenseless Leon. When he returned to the surface, Leon noticed that his nose and ears were bleeding… probably thanks to the pressure of the water. Even though he left Regeneration activated.

"Well… at least that hit leveled up Stone Skin ten times…"

Leon made a mental note not to train like that ever again, but when looked around, he thought that perhaps he would never obtain the chance to level up his skills again. A few meters above him, Leon saw a figure wearing a red armor… it was the fire titan.

"Shit… I imagined that the chances of me finding them were close to none. But I didn't consider that they would look for me… in their non-gigantic form."

Despite that, Leon soon understood that the fire titan didn't want to fight… even though Leon tortured his friend quite a bit. He restored her body to her normal shape, but that didn't change things.

"Are you the mage who defeated Alurelle?" Inglar asked.

"No, I'm just a regular fisherman," Leon answered. "I heard that there was a mage living on an island in the south of here."

"Then, how do you explain those mithril bracers?" Inglar asked.

"Those are family heirlooms," Leon answered.

"… Do you enjoy acting like a fool all that much?" Inglar sighed. "You can rest easy. We just want to talk."

"We?" Leon frowned.

"Yes… we want to talk to you," Inglar said. "My friends and I are going to ignore the fact that you attacked Alurelle… as long as you talk with us for a while."
