Although that place seemed to be an illusionary space created by Sekundez, everything looked exactly like how Leon remembered, and he also could change the environment. If he chops down a tree, it won't regenerate, and if he creates something like status, it won't disappear.
"Pretty well made for an illusionary space..."
Before Leon could keep staring in amazement at every single thing around him, he heard something weird coming from behind. Leon turned around to find a group of ten slimes coming out of the ocean. Leon didn't feel their mana when they were underwater, but he could clearly feel when they reached the beach, and that was very weird.
"So, she can even create something like this..."

"Their statues are bit different than I remember... probably because it is just a copy from Sekundez's memories."
Instead of destroying them, Leon created three of slimes and let them fight. The difference in power was evident since his creatures passed the level two hundred. Although they defeated the creatures without suffering a single scratch, one minute later, another group of slimes came out of the water.
Leon tried to leave the place and make his slimes do the work, but the enemies coming out of the sea always ignored everything just to approach him. In order to avoid problems, Leon had no choice but to stay close to the battle.
"It is just a minor nuisance; those things can't even scratch me, so it is fine."
Leon resumed his own training since he didn't have anything better to do. Although that was no longer necessary, he started to use his spells against himself again... after doing that for almost a year, that already became a habit. This time he wasn't in a hurry, and he doubted that a spirit would lie so blatantly while creating such an environment that could make him grow much stronger. So, Leon decided to stop harming himself.
Usually, Leon would be able to level up one skill up to the level fifty every single day, but the process became four times slower since he wasn't harming himself again. It couldn't be helped. Although there was food around and he could heal himself, it was dangerous to put his body into such a perilous state. Regardless, Leon frowned after sunset because he didn't imagine he would have days and nights there, but that was just one of many surprises. The next day, Leon used Appraisal on the slimes again and noticed a few differences.

"I guess summoned monster and ordinary monsters work to grow stronger in different ways...
That was a bit surprising, but then again, it was just a minor nuisance. Although the number of coins Leon obtained didn't increase, he wasn't expecting much from slimes. Regardless, Leon was pretty sure the slimes would continue to grow stronger and eventually cause problems for his own monsters, but they would never do anything more than that.
"Will those slimes level up every day until the level max? What is going to happen after that?"
It would take a while, but Leon was the kind of man who didn't like to be surprised, so he couldn't help but think about it. As expected, the next day, the slimes that appeared were at level twenty. Although staying alone for thousands of years was one of the worst ways of torture Leon could imagine, he would love to learn how to create such a place with such features in order to train other people. Maybe he could learn, but only after he finishes the 'game' Sekundez's prepared for him.
"Mmm... I wonder If I can plant or even find blue angel leaves here. I need to level up Alchemy and Farming as well."
The mana liquid would also help Leon in the long run, but after searching for a while, Leon didn't find any on that island. Without any sign of hesitation, Leon decided to look for those plants on the continents, but after using Transfer a few times toward East, he found himself flying over the island again.
"I guess it can't be helped... it would be crazy if Sekundez had made a copy of the whole Earth just for me. Illusion magic or not, that would be insane."
During those four years, Leon felt like he was in a prison, there were no cells, no guards, and he could walk as much as he wanted. His prison was pretty big... but now that Leon could do so many things like fly and even cross between massive distances in the blink of an eye, the island felt small like a small cell.
Still, this time Leon didn't feel even a little bit uneasy or worried. He decided to trust on Ilyana that she would be able to protect his family and planets for a year. Once he passes Sekundez's trial, Leon knew that he would have the strength to protect everything he cherished. However, only that wasn't enough... Ilyana probably obtained the cooperation of the other fragment but didn't obtain absolute power to annihilate her enemies. Leon wanted to even beyond that...
