YM778.TV 451 Chapter 449
At first, Leon frowned when he heard it, but soon he understood the logic behind Ilyana\'s reasoning. She would attack him using elemental spells, and Leon would use Full-Recover shortly afterward... that way, Leon would level up his resistances quite fast and also level up Full-Recover. The only downside of that was that it would be very painful.
"I guess that is a good way to gain status points," Leon said. "I\'m fine with that."
"Good, just focus and use Full-Recover fast... or the pain will traumatize you," Ilyana nodded.
Ilyana didn\'t even stop creating her new minions, and, with a single thought, she made a pillar of fire erupt from the ground and engulf Leon. His health decreased to dangerous levels in an instant... the pain had been so terrifying that he even didn\'t have time to scream or moan in pain. Leon felt on his knees, and the pain decreased because all the skin and good parts of all his body had been burned to a crisp. In the end, Ilyana was the one who used Full-Recover on him.

"Geez... I told you to get ready," Ilyana said after a long sigh.
Although the pain disappeared, it took Leon a few seconds to recover from the shock. His body was back to normal, and much to his surprise, his hair was also back to normal, and clothes didn\'t even get burned. Even though that wasn\'t that surprising given that Ilyana was extremely powerful, Leon didn\'t expect that a single spell cast by her could cause more damage than magma.
"Are you ready?" Ilyana asked. "Don\'t worry. We won\'t do this for long. We will have to stop soon because your body won\'t have the nutrients to recover that fast."
That was true, and it was also a relief, but Leon\'s body wasn\'t listening to him... he didn\'t even manage to get up. Leon was training, but he didn\'t remember being so close to death while he trained in the past.
"Shit... do it again," Leon slowly got up.
"Okay, but this time I will change things a little bit," Ilyana said. "I can\'t risk traumatizing your psych doing that over and over again."
Leon was engulfed by a pillar of flames again, but soon after, he got covered in a thick layer of ice. Then, Leon got engulfed by flames and then covered in ice again. Ilyana stopped there because she had already depleted most of Leon\'s health.

This time, Leon managed to use Full-Recover. Still, he was feeling like crap. In just a few seconds, Leon obtained status points that he would usually obtain by training low-level spells for a day. However, that kind of training was far less convenient than he had imagined.
"... This should be enough for today," Ilyana said. "Although we don\'t have much time, we are not desperate to do that every day. Eat well for a few days and then come here again."
Leon felt on his knees. Even though he already expected the pain, his body didn\'t endure the heat and cold as much as his mind did. Regardless, at least Ilyana wasn\'t unreasonable as he had expected. In fact, she looked a bit worried, which was very surprising, given her usual behavior.
Leon left Ilyana\'s castle only to let his body fall on the ground when he returned to his plantation. It was a bit too early to sleep, and it had been a long time since Leon felt like that, but he wanted to close his eyes and rest for a week.
"Don\'t be a drama queen, Leon," Undine said, and Leon imagined her smirking. "You just got close to death two times in a row by someone who you considered to be an ally. There is no need to make such a fuss by acting like that."
Leon ignored Undine and then got up. He didn\'t have time to waste because he things he needed to do weren\'t few... Leon had to increase his mana in order to make the spirits feel comfortable. He also had to increase intelligence and control in order to learn many things. Although in that world, he would have almost four hundred years to obtain the power he needed, he wouldn\'t get strong on time if he let events like that bother him for long.
"I guess I will increase the size of my plantation since I will increase my control again from now on. Sorry, guys. But just hang in there for a while longer... once this plantation gets big enough, I will be able to train more and increase my mana exponentially. To make things more convenient for everyone, I guess I will summon Gnome. His powers will help me with that."
"Aye, Aye, Sir!" Gnome said after he materialized.
Using his powers, Gnome raised several, and small pieces of earth, and Leon planted the blue angel leaves using Telekinesis. They did that for five days straight until Leon\'s plantation became five times bigger... that growth rate was scary, but Leon wasn\'t satisfied. He would only be if he manages to create an automatic process of harvesting and planting the leave. But asking for that was a little bit too much.
