He let go of the disguise that he had been maintaining. It was very draining for him to maintain a disguise as well as fly through the air for around 4 hours. When he stopped using Valkyr\'s Deception, it lifted a huge load off him.
He took a deep breath and gathered magic into his body slowly. He circulated the magic around his body a few times before bringing them to his mind. The magic dissipated without joining the giant cloud of magic in his mind.
The cloud loomed over the entire mind like a giant. It very minimally lit a 500-mile stretch of grass. In the middle of it was his Elderwood Tree.
For the next hour, he kept gathering magic into his body and letting it go. The reason he was doing this was to recover the magic in his body that he had used to fly all the way to the stronghold. He would only do anything important once his body was in its best condition.
After recovering completely, he took out the most important object that would aid his breakthrough - the radiant apple.
The apple was 5 times as big as a normal apple and was shining in a golden light. The golden skin of the apple portrayed it as a divine fruit that would be able to help him do anything. He could no longer control his temptation and bit into the apple.
He didn\'t plan on waiting to settle in to start training. He wasn\'t here for a vacation. He quickly got into what he came for.
The minute he bit into it, he could feel his body draining the magic out of the apple. The magic quickly started rampaging through his body. However, he quickly brought it into his own control, taking only a few seconds to do that.
Eventually, he felt that he had gotten all the Magical Energy in the fruit with a single bite. He took another bite to see if there was any more magical energy left inside the apple.
After confirming that there wasn\'t anything left, he brought the magic to his mind. He quickly started breaking through without wasting a minute. He started condensing the star in his mind.
As the number of stars increased, it was getting harder and harder for him to cross the level by himself. He was so used to doing it at a smaller level that he needed some time to understand the difference in levels.
The 4th Star was incredibly huge compared to the third one. As a star, it was ten times as large, so it was a thousand times as large as a cloud. That meant it was 100,000 times as large as his first Star.
Because of their massive size, the stars weren\'t even competing with each other. They each occupied a different height in his mind space. All of them collectively attributed to his strength.
The advantage of forming those stars was that he was very familiar with the process. He continued condensing it by applying as much pressure as he could. As he got it to compress more and more, it was getting harder and harder to do it.
Around three hours later, he finally reached the final point. He forced himself to finish condensing it and put all his strength into it. The cloud suddenly collapsed into itself.
The previous cloud turned into a thousandth of its size. It was only for a split second. After that, the magic ballooned to ten times its size to form an actual star. This released a massive amount of energy that shook the entire stronghold.
As it did that, it shined brightly, illuminating the inside of the stronghold completely. Because he was indoors, no one was able to see the power of the illumination. Along with that, the tattoo on his wrist glowed very brightly.
However, he wasn\'t able to pay attention to that. He was more focused on what he had done to his training space.
The entire structure was already shaky because of the levels being carved into the underground. After the fire, it made it worse. The final nail in the coffin was the force that he released. It was so great that the ceiling came down, falling.
A huge chunk of the ceiling around 20 meters big crashed onto where Leo was standing. It raised all the dust in the area. The dust started to clear out, revealing his state.
The ceiling chunk had broken into two. Both pieces were resting on the sides of his Shadow Barrier. He released the aura with some force, pushing it away. He could perceive that the loss of the ceiling was something he had to be a little concerned for you.
He knew that the entire stronghold was very close to completely collapsing because of his breakthrough. It was something he wanted to avoid. He rushed to the closest flight of stairs. He climbed the stairs until he got to the top.
He got to the roof of the entire stronghold just as it started crumbling. Before it would completely collapse and bring him down with it, he jumped up and flew into the air. He looked down and saw the entire structure collapse. It was completely done for.
He sighed in regret since he left his chair inside the place. He didn\'t have any time to retrieve his items. He underestimated how much damage he had done to it when he left. His breakthrough didn\'t help it. But it was useful for him. He quickly admired his new upgrade.
He slowly landed on the ground and went to his mind to look at the new star. He entered the plains and looked up at the fourth star. It was incredibly bright, lighting up a lot of area. He looked in the distance and saw that the distance it lit up was still in the hundreds of miles.
But there was a difference that he could observe. The grass on the ground was no longer the only thing that naturally occurred there. Along with the grass, there were occasional flowers blooming around the plains.
He bent down and touched one of the flowers. They were purple Asters. He plucked it to take a closer look. When the flower left the ground, it dissolved into dust and flew away. He frowned, unaware of what this meant.
He was now unsure about what the new star brought to him, and how he would need to change his training. He decided to see what else was different.
Before he could do that, however, he was forced to go back to the real world. He opened his eyes and looked in the distance. His elated expression turned into a frown. In the distance, there was a person speeding toward him in the air.
Leo quickly made sure his disguise was perfect and got ready to deal with the person who arrived. A young lady flew around 10 meters away from him. She faced him with a staff in his eyes.
He quickly noticed that her hands had a dimensional ring that he recognized. It had the same design that was on the ring that the dead body inside had. When he realized that, he could guess who the person was.
