Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

While Leon was waiting for those plants to grow, he decided to do a few tests. He made a few pretty decent throwing knives when he was moping around, but he wasn't sure if that was because his mind wasn't thinking about anything or if it was due to something else. His mana and Earth Manipulation didn't grow all that much in that short amount of time, but he felt now that he had more control over it.

"Is the control stat helping me? I thought that would only influence my control while moving objects and projectiles, not in the creation of things..."

Since his control grew while he was training the speed of the earth sphere, he concluded that was the case, and he was still thinking that was the case. That was why he decided to do some tests. Before, when his strength increased, he felt that his wood spear had gotten lighter. That meant, strength increased his physical power. But what about its intelligence? That increased his magic power? That was why he got more skillful faster than usual? That was what Leon wanted to know.

Since doing many things at the same time would make Leon have a hard time reaching a conclusion. He decided to meditate and increase his intelligence until the plants grow. Five days later, his intelligence and mana increased by twelve points, and when he tried to create a weapon, he noticed that now he had the power to create a knife of the size of his forearm. It wasn't really a knife; it was already a short-sword. The shape wasn't perfect, but he even received a new notification.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Blacksmith.

You obtained 01 status points.

Leon wondered why he didn't receive that notification sooner, but it was probably because he didn't think of creating weapons when he made the throwing knives, he just gave a random shape and repeated the process many times.

"I thought this isn't metal; the system is treating this like weapon creation, huh."

Since Leon just burned earth, his weapons looked had been carved out of volcanic rocks. Since it was durable, it could cut and pierce things with the help of brute strength, but it was far from the level of the Sahuagins' Tridents.

Regardless, Leon knew now that he could improve his magic powers by meditating alone. That being said, he couldn't just meditate all day long. While thinking of a way to implement that new piece of information in his routine, Leon walked to the place where he planted the Blue Angels, and there he found six adult plants, and each one had five leaves on them.

"Five days, five leaves, huh. It will take a while, but if I manage to find a way to store those and transport them with me, perhaps I won't have to rely on my recovery so much."

Leon checked the other plants and confirmed that the green and red ones also only needed five days to become adults. To test their effects, Leon used his mana and ran around the island. After eating a single leaf, he recovered ten points of mana and stamina. It was better than he thought, and those were also quite delicious. The blue one tasted like a grape and the green one like lemon.

"I guess now, and then I can use them as seasonings to make those fish tastier."

Before doing that, Leon decided to plant all those leaves. Although the tsunami caused considerable damage to Leon's mind, things were starting to work well again. That being said, there was a chance that another earthquake could happen and cause another tsunami. So, Leon decided to create a chest made of earth and bury it underground to protect samples of those plants. He was pretty sure those would be essential from now on, so he couldn't afford to lose them.

Now that Leon's mind was working well again, he thought of a few things to do. It was a pain, but since he was practicing his skills while he was at it, he planted several random trees around and made them grow using his mana. All that was to create a natural fortress and to protect him from the rain. The forest became even denser than before thanks to it, after that, he planted a few other trees only to chop them off. He didn't want to wait for rescue, but in the dim chance that someone may approach the island, he decided to put messages on the four cardinal points of that place. Using trees, he connected several of them together, making the word HELP.

Now that Leon could create some pretty big weapons, he decided to make his life more convenient in order for him to have as much time as possible to train his magic. First of all, there was no meaning in making a house per se now that the dense forest worked pretty well as a roof, so Leon only needed walls. It would be nice if he could create walls made of wood that could withstand a tsunami, but that was a bit unrealistic. In any case, he started to plant trees, help them grow, and chop them down. After a few days, Leon managed to build a wall that was twenty meters long and wide. That would be his last line of defense, but before trying to make his another line of defense, he made a small pool and an aqueduct connecting the sea to it. Leon made it small so that those fish couldn't cross, and thanks to that, now he could clean himself every day.
