Although Leon was getting more distant from the river of magma, the heat wasn't decreasing. Leon also couldn't help but wonder why the hell the temperature wasn't falling despite the fact that Fire Resistance leveled up a lot.

"I guess even the flesh of this damn thing even emanates a lot of heat... Still, considering the size of this monster... how the hell this thing can emanate so much heat every single moment? It doesn't run out of fuel? Even if its recovery is high, the consumption of food would also be immense..."

Leon couldn't help but compare that those parasites he was eating were like bacteria everyone would have on their bodies. Most likely, those would enter anyone's body through the ingestion of food. But he still was having difficulties accepting that because it would mean he would be inside of a creature that was perhaps as long as the solar system where Earth was... Whenever Leon thought about that, he would lose his focus and wonder what the hell was that assimilation system and why it did exist if he could grant the opportunity to a creature reach that size... that was a very troublesome question because Leon was a curious guy. Since he was curious, he would waste too much time thinking about some things that there were impossible to explain. At least with the knowledge and experience he has.

"I have to keep my focus... I already have too many doubts in my mind to keep pondering about insane things."

Even though Leon was getting more and more distant from the river of magma, surprisingly enough, his surroundings weren't getting dark. Probably because the heat was being generated by mana, and at the same time, it was illuminating the place. The magma creatures also stopped coming to attack Leon, but he felt that that wasn't enough.

"It would be great if I could meditate or activate Zen and keep opening this path... but I can't. So what else can I do?"

Although using Telekinesis to move that needly didn't cost him much mana, Leon was spending a lot of mana to repair the needle. So, he had to obtain status points outside of the battles and without having to stop that... the only thing Leon could really do was use his stamina or do some exercises to increase his status a little bit. However, both of them would make him hungry, and the food there was scarce, and Leon still disliked it... even when he was starving.

"I wonder if the meat of this thing is better than those damn things..."

Leon was opening a path while destroying the thick flesh of that massive creature, but the thing he was seeing was like the cells of any living creatures he saw before in a microscope. Although his body was also made of cells like that, he felt very disgusted in trying to eat that.

"Yep... I am very picky..."

Regardless, since Leon was destroying the flesh that had the format of cells, something started to bother him. Was that cell oversized because he was inside of colossal creature, or the cell had his size because he got smaller? If the second option was true... would he return to his normal size once he kills or leaves the creature?

"Geez... why the hell I always lose my focus..."

Congratulations! The skill Telekinesis has leveled up.

Just when Leon wanted to forget those questions, he at least confirmed that that colossal creature was part of the assimilation system. Telekinesis was leveling up pretty fast, considering that Leon was controlling a single object. Little by little, things were starting to make some sense, but soon Leon couldn't help but sigh when he found a layer of rocks. When he touched it, he burned his hands.

"I already know what is on the other side..."

p Five minutes later, after finally leaving the path he created, Leon found another river of magma, and the scenario in front of him wasn't much different from the one he left behind. In the end, it wasn't all that surprising that Leon would replace that. He was inside a gigantic creature, so it was only apparent that he would replace several parts of its body that were identical in structure. Even if Leon try to create a path upward, he was pretty sure that the same thing would happen again and again for a very long time.

"I'm tired of this shit..."

Recently, Leon has been repeating that a lot. It couldn't be helped, but that now was his favorite sentence. It was a bit uncomfortable, but Leon decided to use Zen in the path he just created since he also would be able to level up Fire Resistance in there without suffering all that much. He needed more status points to open his next path faster... but when he looked behind, Leon saw the cells he destroyed regenerating at an astounding speed.

"Shit... I guess it was only obvious that would happen."

In the end, Leon had to suffer a lot now in order to suffer less later on. So, he put his hands on the river of magma again. The pain was beyond annoying as always, but at least his Fire Resistance was still leveling up at the same crazy speed.
