When Darya woke up, Leon used Appraisal on her, she obtained Poison Resistance, and the skill leveled up a lot while she was unconscious. Her Gravity Resistance probably leveled up a lot too, but Leon's Appraisal wasn't that strong yet. So, it couldn't reveal more than that.

"I think I'm going to die..." Darya got up, showing an exhausted expression.

"You are just hungry and weak," Leon said. "I made you drink some water, but I couldn't feed you... normally, I wouldn't give you this, but since you are small and your appetite must be thin, I will make an exception."

Leon gave a massive chunk of meat, which was a dragon's heart to Darya. He hoped that before she finished that, she gets used to rat's meat because he wanted to use every single dragon heart to strengthen himself. After a while, Darya regained some color on her face and energy as well.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Stamina Restoration.

Cost: 20 mana

Restores: 20 Stamina

Cooldown time: 1 second.

You obtained 01 status points.

Controlling his mana inside of another being wasn't that complicated, so Leon learned quite quickly. He now just had to make Darya lose some mana, and he would learn how to transfer mana to another person. However, that wouldn't be useful to her since she already had a lot of mana, to begin with. Regardless, Stamina Restoration would be fundamental for Leon from that moment onwards since he was in a world where everyone had massive pools of mana. He couldn't just overwhelm a group of enemies with his mana, so he would have to strengthen and learn new physical skills to use in case the need arises.

Elemental Golem's Core (Magma)

It increases the attack power of weapons in sixty percent against earth-type monsters. It lasts for one hour.

Elemental Golem's Core (Thunder)

It increases the attack power of weapons in sixty percent against water-type monsters. It lasts for one hour.

Leon wasn't the type of guy who would rely on luck, but after eating so many dragon hearts, his luck increased a lot, and monsters finally started to drop some exciting things. Since the elemental golems were made of the basic elements, they would dissolve when they die, and nothing could be used from their bodies, but now with their cores, things changed a little bit. Leon wasn't on the level where he could fight up close using swords or other types of weapons, but he would have to obtain the strength to fight like that too. He had no other choice...

"Although it looks ugly, this thing is quite good," Darya said while she was eating the dragon's heart. "I just wish I could drink something sweet alongside this."

"... Try to infuse your mana in the earth below you." Leon said after a long sigh. "You should have high intelligence, and you have a massive pool of mana, so it should be easy."

Darya frowned at first, but she obeyed, and then she obtained control over a pretty impressive amount of earth.

"Ah... so this is Earth Manipulation," Darya said.

"I thought this kind of thing would be common knowledge in your society," Leon said.

"It is, but only after a while, we start to practice," Darya explained. "Kids only learn how to control their mana when they are ten years old and at school. Their parents can't teach them... and when I began to work in the research center, I stopped going to school."

"Well... I guess you can compensate now for the lost time." Leon scratched the back of his head. "The same logic applies to the other three basic elements..."

Leon couldn't see Darya's other skills, but since he did that for years, she was more suited to collecting and organizing intel. However, that kind of thing was useless in the world below, so he decided to let her learn offensive magic. Eventually, she would obtain the power to protect herself, and considering the massive mana pool she had, it wouldn't take long.

Although Leon knew that Darya would learn how to manipulate, transform, and create the four basic elements quite fast, he didn't imagine she would do that in a single day. He couldn't help but facepalm in the front of a true genius magician. Maybe it was her own latent talent or thanks to the mana crystal on her forehead... either way, it didn't matter. Leon could easily imagine Darya learning Magma Spear in a single week. That being said, despite her progress, Darya didn't look that excited.

"It looks like you thought your life would be different once you become free," Leon said. "I can imagine that you dreamed of this day hundreds of times."

"So, you noticed that, huh," Darya said. "I guess I was born in the wrong age... I wanted to live in a world that could let me be free as much as I wanted. I can be free down here, but I can only see how much destruction and sadness the society that treated me like a slave created over the past seventy years."

"I cannot say that you are wrong, but you are not right either," Leon said. "Thanks to the society up above, you managed to live a life safe from the harvesters... maybe your grandfather treated you like an employee instead of a grandchild, but that doesn't mean he only made bad things. The world... the worlds cannot be that black and white."

Leon knew he was terrible at comforting people, but being realistic was the only thing he could be at that moment like this. Dreams and wishes never helped him, so he could only act like that and keep working hard in order to make his own luck and open his own path.
