19 Chapter 18
19 Chapter 18
Before anything, Leon went to the ocean and checked for enemies. A few more of those fish had appeared, but he killed them. At that point in time, there was no meaning in hesitating. The war between humans and monsters had already started, and his hands were already dirty with blood.
Enduring the throbbing pain in his left arm, Leon washed his body in the ocean. He didn't know if the blood would attract other creatures, but he couldn't care less. He didn't want to stay dirty with their blood. After that, he fixed the position of his arm so that it could heal. As if Leon had become a monster himself, his arm returned to normal after ten seconds. That was the power of the recovery.
"Don't think about it, don't think about it…"
Leon returned to the corpses of the monsters he had killed and grabbed their tridents. Those would be useful if others tried to attack him, but first, he had to get used to that weapon. Now that his head was cool, he noticed that the monsters were quite short. They were only 1,20 meters tall, and their body wasn't that impressive. Despite that, they could jump five meters in height easily. Their tridents were on the short side, so Leon would be able to use both in each hand. But first, he had to discover what that blue glow in them was.
"Come to think of it… I think I saw a monster similar to these in a game. What was the name again?"
Sahuagin's Trident
It grants the user the skill Water Ball.
Cost: 05 mana
Cooldown time: 05 seconds.
While Leon was busy trying to refresh his memories, the analysis skill activated. Sahuagin was the name of those monsters, but to think that a weapon could grant someone the ability to use magic… Leon couldn't but think that he just wasted time learning all the skills. However, based on his experience, he was pretty sure that skill wasn't that convenient.
"I have to check…"
Leon used the skill. A water ball flew from the tip of the trident and hit the tree he chose. However, unlike his earth sphere, it didn't even damage the tree that he hit, it only slightly shook. Not only that, but Leon also didn't learn the skill, and he couldn't control it either. It was like a gun; he just had to aim and pull the trigger. It was convenient, but that wouldn't help him with his goal of going back home.
Now that Leon had three very sharp spears, he could work with more ease to improve his shelter. However, the only thing he was thinking about was the possibility of another attack done by those monsters. He was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but it was clear that those monsters had an underwater base nearby.
"A fence won't help if more of those monsters come, and it will take too much time to build it… I guess I will have to move to the center of the forest and create several traps around."
It was troublesome, but it was the only way. Otherwise, Leon wouldn't be able to sleep soundly at night. The island wasn't all that big, so walking to the beach wasn't a problem. Leon spent the rest of the day moving his shelter to the center of the island. After that, he checked all the surroundings and marked the paths the monsters would most likely use to explore the island and look for him. Digging holes would be easier now that he was physically stronger and could use Earth Manipulation; the problem was making almost invisible traps.
"I will find a way; I will die if I don't."
Leon didn't know why, but monsters didn't come to attack him during the night. It was probably due to the fact that he didn't kill all that much fish the previous day and because the corpses of those three were absorbed by the trees Leon planted. Regardless, he spent the day digging holes around the island, the next day, he chopped down several trees and made stakes, and finally, on the third day after that battle, he put those stakes in the holes.

Leon wondered how that skill would help him, but he didn't complain since he obtained several status points. In the end, the best thing Leon managed to do was to put some branches inside the holes and put leaves above to hide the hole. It was so obvious and cringy that Leon couldn't help but frown while looking at it. At least at night was impossible to notice.
