Leon was checking his status while trying to understand the reason of his failure, that being said, one didn't have to be a genius to understand that the ocean now was being controlled by abyssal monsters the megalodon.

As much as Leon wanted to find another explanation while analyzing his status and skills, he couldn't. He wanted a logical explanation, but the true answer was something illogical, like the return of an extinct creature like the megalodon. Such an irrational thing was so annoying that Leon had a headache.historical

"… Plan A failed, now the plan B… it will result in failure too."

Leon would have to have much more speed to try to outrun a megalodon, and even if he obtains that speed, his safety wouldn't be guaranteed because the monster would attack from underwater, and Leon couldn't see it through. If Leon tries to run for a year, perhaps he can become faster enough to avoid surprise attacks, but he was pretty sure that things wouldn't go so smoothly. Even if he escapes the megalodon, other things may attack him on the way to the continent, like the dragons that can use Fire Breath. Besides, he only noticed that recently, it was getting harder to increase his status while doing things like meditating and running.

"I guess that unless I create a big ship made of steel, there is no way I will be able to survive a few hours in this ocean…"

Leon was undoubtedly getting stronger, but that was certainly an utterly stupid idea. He had to train for two months to be able to create a knife made of steel. Although he spent a lot of mana making it since he was a bit perfectionist, it didn't change the fact that it would take hundreds of years before a single human can obtain the power to create such things.

"Although I did fly using the blast of winds, that is too impractical. I don't have enough health do endure that attack more than a few times, so I can't use that method to fly."

Leon still couldn't try the wind propulsor because his control was still weak. That was the problem of having multiple plans; he could never focus on a single thing. Regardless, it was time to test the floating platform once again.

"No… it is not enough. Even if I use that and escape the megalodon's reach, there are still dragons flying, and they occasionally appear. Even if they don't find me, I'm bound to find other monsters… I have to train and think of a way to move away from a monster and attack at the same time to buy time."

The answer to Leon's problem was the ability to use multiple skills at the same time. It wasn't like using Strong Arms and Dash together, two skills that could work just by thinking of them one time. It was to learn how to use earth, water, wind, and fire manipulation at the same time to attack, defend, and increase his movement.

"Hah… I'm tired of finding those new 'answers.'"

In the end, Leon was back to the drawing board. Although he was a bit depressed, he confirmed that he had the skills to leave the island, he just needed the power to protect himself from the dangers he would find out of the island.

"I can create weapons made of steel, but I doubt that even if created Excalibur itself that I would have the physical strength to kill a megalodon or a dragon. Besides, I would rather stay away from them than attack up close… I guess I will have to give up on my strength training and meditate as much as possible to increase my mana and intelligence."

Leon reached another point where he had to make a choice, but it was inevitable. Since the time he defeated the sahuagins, he didn't use his physical strength, and now that he could make projectiles of steel, he had no reason to fight up close. When he fought those monsters, he charged forward because it was the only way, but as a person who didn't have any martial knowledge, he would rather fight using magic.

"Well, if someday I learn how to make weapons that grant me skills like the sahuagins' tridents, I will change my mind, but for the time being, I will follow the path of magic."
