Although that skill was leveling faster than Leon imagined, it wasn't nearly enough for him to see the scouts leaving the spaceship and coming to that planet using their weird flying vehicles. During the day, things would become even more complicated thanks to sunlight. Strangely enough, Leon could those vehicles entering the atmosphere of that planet with ease.

Regardless, the flying vehicles always come to investigate in groups of three, and he also knocked down two of them more four times. Leon was really eager to study those flying vehicles up close, but he decided not to. Even though he successfully knocked them down, the chances of whoever was inside the spaceship are monitoring that world with more precision now were quite high.

"Are you sure of this?" Celsius asked. "By knocking down so many flying vehicles in this area, you will draw their attention at this place alone. It is only a matter of time before they find you."

"I actually want to make them send their troops to this zone," Leon explained. "Unless I fight against many of them at the same time, I won't be able to pass my message."

"Which is?" Undine asked.

"Get the hell out of here," Leon said.

"I wonder if that message will be understood so easily..." Undine said. "A species capable of crossing the cosmos in a spaceship of that size wouldn't create one just to travel for a few weeks."

Leon was aware of that, but it wasn't like he had any other choice. Ilyana was annoying, but she gave him a big job, and he was pretty sure that after solving that situation, his debt would decrease a lot. Although it was crazy for a single person to claim ownership over a planet, it wasn't that insane considering how long the harvesters lived or how much power someone like Ilyana was. Unfortunately, he half-mithril people would have to find another planet to settle in...

One week passed, and the number of flying vehicles that Leon destroyed was about to reach the three digits mark. Unfortunately, he had to leave those alone for all this time because he could feel any mana in them. Those certainly had some powerful and efficient batteries since Leon couldn't imagine any of them weighing less than twenty tons.

Suddenly, a massive area around the fallen vehicles started to grow. The hole where Leon was hidden was also within that area, so he began to sweat cold and decided to get the hell out of there. However, Leon recalled that he could cancel every magic effect by using Anti-Mana Field. He activated the skill, but he didn't notice any change in his mana pool.

"Ah... they are trying to recover their vehicles. I guess I can use that."

The vehicles that were floating as if they were being abducted started to slow down when Leon increased the gravity of that area. Little by little, their weight increased until they became nine times heavier, which was the limit Leon's Gravity could do. However, that had been enough to make the vehicles fall back to the planet. Leon had to spend eight percent of his mana in just a few seconds, but it had been worth the hassle.

"Mmm? It seems you can't relax just yet, Leon," Sylph said.

Much to Leon's surprise, the vehicles started to float again and this time much faster than before. The half-mithril people really wanted their vehicles back for whatever reason, but Leon wouldn't let them take back something that could problems for him later. Leon quickly recovered his mana using the mithril he created over the course of the last weeks and then combined Telekinesis and Gravity to pull back all flying vehicles. This time he consumed all his mana in a matter of seconds, but fortunately, he succeeded at the same speed. The strange vehicles fall back to the ground and caused massive impacts since Leon didn't hold back.

"Hah... so tired," Leon said, exhausted.

Leon was about to break his record of staying awake for ten days straight. Keeping his eyes open was already painful enough, and now that he exhausted his mana. All the tiredness he was suppressing came back at full force. It couldn't be helped since he had to observe the spaceship and because he was too tense to sleep even though the scouts only appeared only four or six hours after each patrol.

"You already know that they won't do anything in the last few hours," Celsius said. "You just can't rest because you are too pessimistic."

"We can watch the surroundings while you sleep, Leon," Gnome said. "Just promise that once this is over, you will let me duplicate the size of my labyrinth."

"All right..." Leon forced a smile." I will leave things with you guys... but first, I have to make sure they won't abductee their vehicles."

Although Leon could counter them in that regard, he had no idea how much energy they spent in each attempt. Although he had some mithril, Leon couldn't afford to waste it outside the battle. So, he created huge steel plates underground and connected them to all the fallen vehicles. Leon had an even better idea. He connected all the steel plates underground. Now to recover those, they would have to pull a massive block of earth too.
