Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Well, I guess I need to make a supply of clean water."

Rain in that part of the ocean was unpredictable as always; sometimes it would rain an entire day, sometimes it would rain for half an hour. Regardless, Leon had to make good use of it. Leon had to work for a while, but he managed to find the points where it would be easier to gather water and connected those points to his camp using aqueducts. Since he could create an infinite amount of trees, something like that wasn't trouble. Just a bit time-consuming.

Leon even started to wonder if it was a good idea to plant as many trees as possible in case another tsunami happens. He just had to dig and plant those trees, so their roots would be profound and perhaps could withstand the power of a few tsunamis. However, Leon gave up on the idea because if his plain fails, all those trees would push him to the ocean. The plan was sure to backfire him.

Although Leon didn't need to go to the ocean anymore unless he wanted to eat fish, he would go there every day, and each time he killed all those fish even if he those he wouldn't be able to eat. He didn't know when, but Leon was sure those coins would be useful someday. One of those days, Leon had an idea, perhaps he wouldn't be able to cross the ocean by swimming, but it was a good idea to learn the skill and train it a little.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Swim.

You obtained 01 status points.

Leon tried different types of swimming styles, but he didn't learn any skills by doing so. However, when he dived for a few seconds, he learned a new one.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Underwater Resistance.

You obtained 01 status points.

Leon felt satisfied with and for a time enjoyed the view, but soon he lost interest and hurried to the shore because a new group of fish was approaching.

"I don't know how, but I guess they can feel my presence... that scared the crap out of me."

Leon's control over the water wasn't anywhere near his Earth Manipulation, but he managed to use it to increase his swimming speed, and with the help of Strong Arms, he escaped the ambush.

The next days passed without anything happen; it looked like the earthquake really had destroyed the sahuagins' base or something like that. Every day he killed dozens of fish to be able to swim and level up his skills, but the evolved ones never came.

At a fearsome pace, the island was becoming more colorful thanks to those new plants. However, at some point, Leon decided to stop planting every single new leaf since that was too time-consuming, and he only needed more mana. So, Leon chose to replant only the blue angel leaves. While storing the red leaves in case something happens and occasionally using the green leaves to train his body.

However, after one month, Leon stopped replanting the blue angel leaves as well. Even though he could train and eat the leaves white collecting them, it was too time-consuming. He had more than two thousand of those plants, and that meant that he could eat the same amount of leaves every day forever, and he wouldn't run out of them, but to do, he had to spend an entire morning eating something very sweet. He wasn't getting fat thanks to his exercise routine, but his stomach wasn't that big.

"I guess it is finally time to make a few prototypes of boats."

Leon knew the design of a simple boat, but since it would be made of earth, he had to make a few adaptations. Thanks to the level of his skills and his supply of blue angel leaves, he could make a simple boat in one hour, and by making the earth becoming something like volcanic stone, he didn't have to spend mana on maintaining the boat's shape. However, he found a few problems.

"It is durable, but it is heavy... I will have to put some air containers under the boat, but I can't make them very thick, or it will be useless. I also have to train my Wind Manipulation; if I want to reach Asia as soon as possible, I can't rely on natural winds alone..."

The boat was heavier than Leon thought, so probably a sail made of coconut leaves wouldn't help all that much. He had to make a sail made of the same material as the boat because if in the middle of the trip something to the sail happens, he would be doomed.

"A paddle made of stone will be heavy... if even I bring with me some of those green leaves, it won't be enough. It will be especially dangerous if I get attacked while using a paddle."

In the end, the answer was to make everything thinner, but that was also dangerous because the thinner the boat, the frailer it would be. Leon thought that in a month or two, he would have the skills to leave the island. However, he couldn't be more wrong. He needed to make the boat sturdy but light enough for a single blast of wind to make it move several meters at a decent speed. That only meant one thing, Leon had to train his skills even more until he reaches that level of mastery. It looked like he wouldn't eat anything but blue angel leaves for a while. He had no other choice but to eat until he is about to puke if he wanted to return home as soon as possible.
