"Heal! Heal! Heal! Heal!" Leon shouted.

Although it wasn't necessary, Leon was calling the name of his skill to use it. Despite all that. He couldn't recover his damaged flesh faster than the magma could eat it away. While Leon was feeling shivers despite the place he was in due to the pain, three magma creatures jumped out of the river of magma to drag him to it. Leon looked at them, annoyed and made his broken spear send them back to the river. Although the weapon lost its edge, it was more than enough to deal with those worms.

Leon had made his choice. He would leave that hellhole, destroying everything in his path… he was determined to do that. However, Leon barely endured that process for a single minute. When Leon took his arms out of the river of magma, he saw his muscles being burned. The sight was quite shocking, but the pain didn't let him get surprised. He kept using Heal until his body was back to normal… Although he recovered his health pretty fast, he used Heal again and again just to decrease the pain and speed up the regenerating speed.

"Shit... shit..."

Leon's arms were trembling, and even though he had the resolve to keep training, his body suffered too much damage to keep obeying him. Leon's mind wanted to keep leveling up Fire Resistance, but his body didn't want to follow... it wanted to get the hell out of there. In the end, Leon stopped because he was getting even hungrier... he looked at the box he was carrying and frowned when he looked at the dead cockroach-like creatures.

"Shit..."

Leon grabbed one and took a bite... as expected, it tasted like shit, the texture was terrible too. The fact that Leon felt the little legs of the thing made Leon feel like throwing up. Still, he chewed it until nothing was left. Leon felt some satisfaction from his stomach, but his mouth was numb.

"Why this doesn't surprise me..."

Since his mouth and tongue were still numb, Leon decided to eath the other parasites, it wouldn't be pleasant, but at least he wouldn't have to endure the taste, and he also would gain some weight... and so he did. After having his 'meal,' Leon approached his arms back to the river of magma, but then again, his body refused to move. It couldn't be helped, so Leon decided to keep himself moving and then start again once his cowardly body is ready for his maniac training.

"In this ambient, the effectiveness of ice will decrease. To counter that, the only thing I can do is to learn Cryomancy... I will need a lot of mana to practice that, so I will have to create a safe place to meditate."

For the time being, Leon was enduring the heat, but while he looks for the exit of that place, he would have to rest now and then. Leon doubted that he would be able to sleep without cooling the temperature of a place, and to do that efficiently, Leon would need Cryomancy.

"Hydromancy will also help... I guess. But the water itself won't help me against the magma creatures all that much. It can evaporate pretty fast, and the steam might blind me during a battle, and that would be very troublesome."

Regardless, Leon didn't research how to use Hydromancy, but it shouldn't be much different than Cryomancy. Anyway, Leon created a tunnel on the ceiling of the cave and then created a space where he could at least lay down and sit when necessary. After that, he sealed the place only leaving small holes to let air enter... despite all that, the temperature inside of it was insane.

Unlike Pyromancy, Geomancy, and Electromancy, which Leon learned thanks to the spirits and thus he couldn't explain, he knew the logic behind Cryomancy. Since the ice was solid, Leon had to control the mana inside of the ice to learn the skill. Even though Leon created several chunks of ice, and his mana was inside of them, things didn't solve themselves quickly.

Since ice had a solid shape and was pretty dense, there was a trick to manipulate it. Leon just had to move the mana inside of it fast enough without making the ice break. As Leon already knew, he was good at moving things violently, but moving things forcefully without breaking a single thing wasn't his specialty.

In the end, Leon had to break his personal record and stayed awake for ten days... He surpassed his limits to the point where the skill leveled up two times in a single day, and Leon also was beginning to see things, and that was a dangerous sign.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Cryomancy.

Leon didn't have much time left. He was already exhausted to the point where he couldn't concentrate on meditating. If he tries that, he will fall asleep, and since he was tired, he would sleep for a day or two, and that wasn't a good idea without doing something to cooldown that damn improvised room.
