Much like he said the next morning leon used his hellflame to rocket high above the ground with a special set of goggles on that prevented the frost of space from covering his vision. as for the rest of his body freezing or falling apart leon had a sort of space suit on to prevent that. the twin gods were left fairly speechless when he hit orbit and turned around to observe the entire world below. they had honestly never even considered the idea that a person would be able to reach such heights.
This rather extreme measure paid off for leon however as he could now visually see the entire exposed surface of the side of the planet he was on. he wasn't surprised to see a whole lot of totally undiscovered islands out at sea around the continent that was also slightly different in shape than the maps showed. once the entirety of this side of the planet was memorized leon used his hell fire to send him orbiting around the planet at extreme speed so he could truly create a globe of the planet as his map when he got back down.
Moving at that speed would have killed any other person but thanks to leons semblance and peak level four endurance he was merely in agonizing pain. still two hours later leon had officially circled the entire globe a single time letting him slow down gradually before descending at an also very slow pace. The slow re-entry into the atmosphere was more so he didn't catch fire than anything but another hour later he no longer had to worry about it and dropped into a nosedive free fall towards the earth below. thirty minutes after that opal noticed him hurtling at frightening speeds towards the sea only for him to unfurl his wings and pull up out of the dive into an extremely fast glide instead.
Once leon was done bleeding off his momentum he casually flew over to the cliff side where opal was waiting and landed. "well you were gone for a few hours so i'm guessing you got some good information. well go on , spill it." she said eagerly. "oh , i'm about to blow your mind." leon said with a grin as he began to channel his magic into the ground to recreate a stone globe with all the details he captured during his "worldwide trip".
Opal was confused at first when she saw him create the round base of the globe but her jaw dropped when he began to form the details on it. she was more and more astonished when details not seen on any map she ever saw began to pop up including an entire extra continent above the one they were currently on. that continent had an odd shape however like that of a dragon strangely enough. "the fuck did you go to get this much information!?" she exclaimed when he was finally done.
"Orbit" he said casually while using his magic to add color to the globe as well since it looked weird being all the same color. "the fuck is orbit?" she asked confused. "it's a few miles above the last layer of the atmosphere , right at the edge of space." he explained calmly. "space , as in the place the moon is at?" she asked with a horrified look. "don't give me that look it's super easy to reach that high if you know how." he said honestly. "why haven't you shared this information then?" she asked confused. he shook his head "because it is already common knowledge , it's just that no one has noticed it yet." he said with a shrug.
"Enough about that though , I found our next destination." leon said before pointing at an island on the globe that was north of their current position. "this little spit of sand is an undiscovered island that is sure to have all sorts of goodies on it." he said with an excited look. "that sounds all well and good but unless you have a boat in that magical bag of nonsense WE aren't going anywhere since you know i sort of don't have wings and all." opal said seriously.
