My Love Debts Are Everywhere! - Chapter 518

Chapter 518: The Last Day of Training
The sun rises and sets every day. Like a gentle yet ever-passing breeze, so does time.

The winter that once blanketed the world gradually faded, giving way to the warmth and beauty of spring.

It had been over five months since Leon arrived in Eryuentium to meet the dragon ancestor.

However, due to the dragon ancestor’s desire to train him, Leon had to endure physical training that could only be described in one word—insane!

Every day, he was subjected to absurd exercises, such as carrying rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms while climbing a hill on the west side of Eryuentium.

And that was just the beginning. There were even more grueling challenges—swimming across raging rivers with tens to hundreds of kilograms strapped to his back, walking across scorching ground with lava flowing beneath, and, worst of all, fleeing from towering monsters hundreds of meters tall while still burdened with heavy stones!

Anyone else would have given up on the first day—no, they wouldn’t have lasted even a minute.

Unfortunately for him, Leon wasn’t just anyone. In his dictionary, “giving up” simply didn’t exist.

No matter how much he suffered or how close to death he felt during training, his unwavering determination and the immense responsibility on his shoulders left him no choice but to push forward.

After all, he was just a mortal, while the enemy he would one day face was a being far beyond human limits—a deity.

If he didn’t undergo such grueling training, how could he ever hope to stand against him?

“Phew! I finally caught two fish for dinner.”

Standing on the riverbank, Leon walked forward, two fish dangling from his right hand.

Five months was not a short time, and in that period, he had undergone considerable changes.

His once youthful features now appeared more mature, his handsome face carrying a calm, gentle, yet slightly indifferent expression.

The transformation was striking to anyone who knew him well.

Not only that, but his body had also changed significantly.

His already well-defined muscles had become even more sculpted, each curve accentuated by sharp, prominent lines.

The increase in muscle mass made the faint veins on his arms stand out, adding to his imposing and commanding presence.

A faint smile played on his lips as he approached a tree about ten meters away and placed his catch beside it.

“Luckily, the river current wasn’t as strong as yesterday. Now I can enjoy two grilled fish tonight,” he said, his voice carrying a note of satisfaction.

His gaze drifted toward the rushing river behind him, a nostalgic and slightly dazed look in his eyes.

“It’s been almost a month, huh? Today marks the last day of training, and tomorrow, I’ll return to see the dragon ancestor. Time flies so fast,” he murmured with a small sigh.

The past five months had been nothing short of hell.

The training given by the dragon ancestor had pushed him to his limits.

Despite his physical and mental resilience, he had often felt overwhelmed, and deep down, the thought of giving up had crossed his mind more than once.

Yet, with the future of this world resting in his hands, he had to be strong—there was no room for weakness.

Shaking off his thoughts, Leon turned away from the river and walked to the right, searching for firewood.

In the fifth month of training, the dragon ancestor reduced the intensity, focusing solely on survival training.

For someone like Leon, who had once led humanity’s army against the demon soldiers, this was barely a challenge.

However, the real problem lay in the location of the trial.

It took place in the dense forest on the southern side of Eryuentium, a place teeming with terrifying monsters. Of course, these creatures were not native to Eryuentium; the dragon ancestor had brought them from the outside world.

Fortunately, most of them weren’t particularly powerful—or at least, not to him, as long as his holy power and chaos power remained unsealed.

But in his current state, even they posed a formidable threat.

After gathering enough firewood, Leon quickly started a fire, letting the warmth chase away the lingering chill from his body.

Spring had arrived, but the night temperature, especially in a forest like this, was still low—around 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.

To avoid freezing, he relied on the fire to keep warm.

He then cut open the bellies of the two fish, filled them with the marinade he had prepared earlier, and rubbed it into the flesh.

While the seasoning soaked in, he washed his wet body with water before donning his robe.

Next, he skewered the fish with an iron rod and placed them over the bonfire to grill.

“It’s been five months, huh? I wonder how those four little girls and Liliana are doing,” he muttered, his gaze drifting toward the moons of Miranda and Sylvia hanging in the sky.

His biggest concern wasn’t the hidden race or the Evil God, but his daughters and those he cared about.

Yet, deep down, he knew that what he was doing was for their safety and a better future.

As the saying goes, “It’s better to be separated for ten years than to be separated forever.”

Had he failed to defeat the Evil God, the only fate awaiting him and his loved ones would be death and destruction.

Fifteen minutes passed without him realizing it, and both fish were perfectly cooked.

Without hesitation, he took a bite, though cautiously, as the fish was still piping hot.

“The flavor is just right, and it’s as delicious as ever,” he murmured with a satisfied nod.

Surviving in the wild depends on many factors, but one of the most crucial is the ability to cook and make use of available ingredients.

With those two skills, whether in a survival trial or completely lost in the wilderness, the chances of survival could reach 80%.

After twenty minutes of savoring his meal, Leon finally finished and began cleaning up the leftovers.

Since today marked the final day of his training, he decided to take it easy for a moment and think about his next steps.

“My time in Eryuentium is coming to an end. That means I’ll have to head to where the Elven race is,” he whispered, lying back on a bed of leaves.

Over the past four months, his training hadn’t been limited to physical strengthening—it also involved gaining knowledge.

The dragon ancestor had taught him about the characteristics of various races and warned him to remain cautious.

Seven thousand years had passed, and even the dragon ancestor couldn’t say for certain whether their nature had changed.

Fortunately, he had a token prepared by Hero Luminus Troya and Demon Emperor Amon Crimson—his secret weapon.

As a cool yet biting breeze swept over him, Leon’s eyelids grew heavy, and before long, they slowly drifted shut.

———-

A/N: For your information, Leon underwent five months of training.

He spent the first four months on intense physical conditioning while also acquiring vast knowledge from the dragon ancestor.

During the fifth month, he underwent a survival test, which lasted until its completion tomorrow—marking the start of the sixth month. Thank you!
