Novel Bin 510 Chapter 508
"You can return to your life of tourism again," Ilyana said when her mud golems reached the level three hundred and fifty. "Thank you for your help."
One week had passed since Leon returned, and it looked like he finally had the chance to leave again. Unfortunately, he was starting to have second thoughts. It was stupid and crazy, but at some point, over the last week, he started to wonder how Ilyana dealt with loneliness. Most likely, she also has the intermediate fragment of spirits inside her head, so things weren\'t exactly silent. Still, what would she talk about with her spirits if she rarely lives her castle? If nothing happens, even best friends or relatives would have a hard time talking to each other.
Leon was fully aware of how difficult it was to be alone. Most of the time, when he was alone, he questioned himself, his current actions, his past actions... Learn with the past is something good, but dwell on it every single wake moment was just sad.
"... It has been a while since you gave me some job," Leon said. "Is everything under control?"
"That kind of thing happens often," Ilyana explained. "It isn\'t strange for me to stay here for ten years without anything troublesome happening. Just before you appeared, I spent thirteen years doing nothing but learning and practicing my spells."
That was insane, but it wasn\'t that surprising considering how old Ilyana was and her goal. In the end, Leon decided to leave without overthinking about it. He already had too many worries in his head, and worrying about someone who always hides crucial information from him wouldn\'t do him any good.
"Volt and Efreet, it is you guys turn now," Leon said.
"Understood," Volt said.
"Hahaha! I will teach you some neat tricks to pulverize those who dare to get on your way." Efreet declared.
Leon expected to learn something easier, considering that Volt was very considerate and also aware of Leon\'s limitations, but since Efreet was also part of the equation, things got a bit complicated.

Just like their personalities, compatibility between fire and thunder wasn\'t that great, but at least Leon managed to learn some powerful spells. The first one was Explosive Lightning, it was like an ordinary lightning bolt, but upon hitting the target, the impact also caused an explosion and burned the area and everything near the target. The second spell was something even insane. Instead of causing explosions, the lightning bolts would melt the area around the target and make some magma balls jump out of it and hit anything nearby.
"Escaping the total damage caused by those spells will be nearly impossible," Leon said. "Thanks for the help, Volt, Efreet."
Leon quickly leveled up those spells before finding the new world where he would train. Opening a path toward a dungeon that had too many enemies on the way would only make Leon waste time, so Leon decided to go to the first dungeon he finds that seemed less troublesome. In the end, Leon chose the one that spawned centaurs. Those creatures couldn\'t talk... at least Leon couldn\'t see them talking using words an intelligent species use. But they looked pretty smart since they always walked in groups of five.

Although there were centaurs that used bows and swords, most of them were armed with spears, and their status was between the bowman and the swordsman of their species, so Leon decided to use them a basis.
Before anything, Leon surprised out of nowhere and hit all of them with Plasma Bullets on their heads. Unfortunately, that hadn\'t been enough to kill the group of scouts. But at least managed to wound the centaur armed with a bow and take him out of the picture. Despite the man, the remaining monsters readied themselves to face Leon. But they didn\'t manage to do much since Leon was flying high in the sky. Throwing their weapons wasn\'t an option. At the very least, the centaurs were smart enough not to do that. So, they began to retreat.
"Now that is surprising..." Leon said.
Leon had a clear vision of the mountain where their dungeon was located, but even though there weren\'t many obstacles along the way and they could reach it by walking in a straight line, the centaurs were heading toward the north of the dungeon.
"They are heading toward their allies... they want to make me fall in a trap."
That was troublesome. Leon wanted to use them to level up his skills, but it looked like things wouldn\'t go as planned. Still, that situation wasn\'t itself so bad... Leon wouldn\'t level up his skills as much as he wanted, but by fighting enemies that could think of retreating and preparing ambushes would be a valuable experience.
"It looks like a trip to their planet won\'t be a walk in the park."
Leon shot several Plasma Arrows, and the centaurs blocked with their weapons. Even though their weapons got destroyed, it had been more than enough to protect themselves and also buy some time.
