"I will accept your offer, but for the ti being, I would like to do things in my own way," Leon said.
"That is fine; what do you want to learn?" Ilyana asked.
"I would like to know where I can find the spirits," Leon answered.
"You really are hasty..." Ilyana sighed. "I have been hunting harvesters for five thousand years, and after all this ti, I didn't find the real spirits, not even once. Although I heard of the locations of the great fragnts, when I arrived there, I didn't find anything. Other harvesters killed them in order not to let others obtain their powers. I only know where to find the interdiate fragnts."
"That is fine," Leon said.
"To obtain their powers, you will have to prove yourself," Ilyana said. "But I guess you should be able to pass their trials and obtain it. Which spirit do you want to find first?"
"From which one do you think I should start?" Leon asked.
"Do you want to follow my recomndation? Even though you still don't trust ?" Ilyana frowned.
"... I guess I will start with the spirit of the wind." Leon looked away.
"All right, touch the crystal that you will see and then head to the northern part of the continent when you appear on the other side," Ilyana said.
Leon frowned when he heard that, it didn't make much sense. But then, Ilyana teleported Leon inside of a dungeon, and he was in front of a purple crystal.
"Shit... the difference in power is so big that Anti-Mana Field doesn't even work. The shadowy figure was really just ssing with all along..."
Leon bit his lips but didn't waste much ti doing that. He still had ti to grow stronger, and he couldn't waste even a single second getting pissed or feeling like a fool. Leon touched the crystal and then found himself in the middle of a windy desert. Leon barely could keep his eyes open because the wind and dust were ssing with his vision. In the distance, Leon could see several Sand Tornadoes and a sand storm approaching.
"I have to move soon, or I will lose any sense of direction... she said to go North, I must find the wind spirit after passing through that sand storm."
Leon decided to use Transfer and keep moving at a high altitude, but even at ten kiloters of altitude, the wind was strong, and there was dust too... the weather of that planet was crazy.

...
Despite the strength of the wind, Leon could see the figures of Ilyana's elentals moving without a problem... he couldn't see any other monster, though. Regardless, Leon didn't co to look for monsters. He wanted to find the spirit of the wind, so he started to move towards the North.
If it weren't for Transfer, Leon would have had a hard ti moving in a straight line. He couldn't see the end of the storm, and the winds were always pushing him back. Leon's face and clothes were already getting filled with dust, and he was also getting very annoyed since he was forced to eat so grains of sand like never before.

"At least I am obtaining status points..."
It was hard to be sure if the spirit of wind had any relation with that massive sand storm, but it looked like that it works well as a natural barrier to keep his location hidden. Since Leon couldn't see all that much thanks to the storm, he had to keep using Transfer for quite a while, only after three hours, Leon finally found the edge of that continent, but there was no sign of the temple.
"I guess I will have to fly low to feel the spirit's mana... I just hope that I won't get lost."
Hoping that while flying in the middle of a sand storm was a bit insane, but fortunately, Ilyana's directions had been quite accurate. Even before Leon could land, he felt the presence of the wind spirit. After flying for a few ters, Leon saw a sole sand tornado that it wasn't moving an inch.
"Inside of that, huh... I guess that is a kind of barrier."
Leon activated Electric Armor and forced his entrance on that massive vortex of wind and sand. At the center of the tornado, Leon really found a small building... it was the temple of the wind spirit, and it looked like he would find it deep underground.
After deactivating Electric Armor, Leon entered the building and followed the stairs that led him to the underground. Much to Leon's surprise, the place was quite clean, despite the massive sand storm outside. Probably because of that particularly large tornado around the building. Regardless, Leon had to move downward for quite a while, and he was already getting dizzy since the walls were repetitive and quite simple.
Twenty minutes later, Leon finally reached the bottom of the temple, and there Leon found an altar where he found a humanoid creature made of wind in the sa position as the Reclining Buddha. It looked like the spirit of the wind was bored. Leon arrived on ti to see the figure sighing. Regardless, just like Volt's fragnt, he found in the harvesters world, Leon couldn't tell if it was male or female.
"... Oh, a living creature!" The spirit of wind said, very excited. "Nice to et you. My na is Sylph. What is your na, traveler?"
"Leon... nice to et you," Leon frowned.
"Well, let's skip the pleasantries, all right?" Sylph said. "You ca here to obtain my power, right?"
"Yes," Leon nodded.
"Well, if you want my power, you will have to catch ," Sylph said, and then it flew upward at an unbelievable speed when the wind around its body began to move more intensely.
