These years, he had made unexpected leaps in his comprehension, and if not for the fact it was much slower than when he was in the outside world, he would wonder why it was everyone didn't take advantage of this.
Unfortunately, the laws of Incomplete Worlds were exactly that, incomplete. As such, even with far more time, it was difficult to make advancements.
That said... this Zone wasn't normal by any means. When Leonel first entered it, it gave him a great deal of pressure.
After some time, he realized that part of that was because he had been in the body of a child. Still, that didn't mean that this world couldn't exhibit a great deal of influence and power, and that likewise made its laws very interesting to study.
In the end, while Leonel didn't make as much progress as he would have in the outside world in the same 10-year span, he had made about three years' worth of progress.
Essentially, that meant that Leonel had exchanged a single year for three, a huge boon.
Likewise, as one might expect, his strength had exploded forth.
The only shame was that his original body was already too weak to display all of his Force Manipulation, and this body was even less capable of doing so...
But did it matter? Foll0w current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
Holding an ordinary wooden spear in his hands, a light smile played Leonel's features.
'Three days should be enough... Three days to bring this to a close.'
...
Leonel moved through the world, crossing large distances as the ground shrunk beneath his feet.
He seemed to be at complete peace. If there was anything that made him sad, it was the fact he hadn't seen his wife in so long.
Even a few days was too much, but a decade?
If not for his strong mental fortitude, he would have already given up on this Zone.
The Barbarian Race man in the body of a Sea God couldn't even react.
His glabella was pierced through, his eyes opening wide before they slowly dimmed.
As Leonel had said... he had made a great deal of progress.
He couldn't advance his Dimension, nor his body, and he couldn't fully access his Force Manipulation either...
But if he made three years of progress with Forces...
Then he had made ten with his spear.
His spear mastery was already on a level that most would never be able to fathom in a lifetime.
Trapped in the body that wasn't their own.
These Barbarian Race members didn't stand a single chance.
Leonel took a step off of the cliff, but it looked as though he was still walking on flat ground.
The raging waters beneath him were forced into a state of calm, the tsunami-like waves being suppressed into a steady and cool surface.
Barbarian Race members disguised as various Races began to surge out of the waters, but every time one appeared, Leonel simply struck out a single time.
The black waters were quickly becoming dyed in red.
"This is very disappointing," Leonel's voice boomed. "Don't tell me I spent all of that time preparing for no reason.
"Show me the strength of a Demi-God Race!"
Beneath Leonel's roar, an invisible sphere pushed a crescent shape out of the water, forming a crater that extended for miles.
At that moment, Leonel spotted a bright red light streaking out from below.
