Fall after a fall.
try after a try.
After every fall, his legs bones would break, after all with every try, he become more efficient in climbing, meaning his falls are from higher heights, his hand also sometimes break, after healing them he would climb again.
Thus in this process of breaking and healing his legs bones, a time came when even if he fell from about 70 or even close to 100 meter, his leg won't even make a Crack sound anymore from how sturdy it become
That was how Leo spend these last three days.
Now he finally able to climb the 7th mountain before the day ends.
As he felt he had already adapted to being blindfolded,he went and plug his ear to lose his hearing as well.
Losing his sight didn't make him only lose the ability to see and move freely,but it also distorted his concept of time.
now that he also seal his hearing sense,his already distorted concept of time became more distorted.
So as Leo now climbing those mountains,he had a lot of time to think,and before the day ends he would feel that days or even months had passed.
Chaotic thoughts were invading his mind every moment,his inner evil,was always trying to make him either think of evil thoughts or giving up his training since the result he was looking for isn't appearing.
So as he sealed his senses ,not only was he training physically, but also me mentally.
Falling become easier than before, now he needed more time so he could reach the seventh mountain again.
And as the days pass,his blood that flowed from his wounds smear the mountains he walked through.
Day 3 after losing both his senses he climb to the ninth mountain.
Day 4 tenth mountain
Day 5 13th mountain
On the sixth day, leo was climbing the 14th mountain, and He was already half away the peak.
as he put his right leg on a rock to climb,Suddenly the rock fell startling him who was already very tired,so he fell again.
{Another fall huh, nothing new.}, Leo who had already gave up found that his right hand suddenly moved unconsciously toward the mountain wall ,as it did that his hand perfectly landed in a gap that had kept him from falling,then his other hand and legs found their way on the wall.
Leo who's body moved without his order,didn't seems to care about that at the moment,as he was looking at the system window that he can see even when he was blindfolded.
[Pain resistant (E Rank) had risen to (D Rank)]
{ Not this, this is not what I have been training for also since when did I had this skill for it to Rank up to D, maybe because I hadn't been paying attention to it?, hmm..there is more let's see... }
[The Rare skill intuintion (E Rank) had been created]
"Ooooh,finally, It's finally here. "
{Yes,what I have been training all this days was my intuition,this was the answer I could came up with to overcome the road to the great tree. }
After gaining the intuintion skill, climbing Had become easier and less dangerous.
I made mistakes less than usual when climbing,and even when I had done some my body would react everytime saving me from fall.
14th,15th, as I climb the faster I become, and the last two mountains ,the 16th and the last 17th ,I climb them in less than the time I would usually climb half a mountain.
Even though the sun had not set yet,I decided that I would take the rest for the day, then moved forward the next day.
{Ahhhhhhhhhhh,finally.}, I thought as I took my blindfolded and my hand made ear plugs.
"...."
{ It's been more than two months since I spoke with someone,while the feeling of loneliness ought to be natural,now I can't even speak a few words if I don't try hard. }
My vocal cords weren't used much in this two months.
My vocabulary sure had hit the floor in this two months since I hadn't spoke with anyone in this period.
{so even If I can voice my thoughts freely,it wouldn't change much actually Hhhhhh. }

13 days, before the deadline of the quest.
".....if I had tried to awaken my intuition in this place I would surely be dead by now"
Leo again is trying to move toward the Great tree that was tightly guarded by the branches that sprout from the ground.
First think he REALISED as he was doing that,that it become easier to dodge branches before the hundred meter mark, as he was using the bare minimum of movement to dodge or deflect.
When he reached the hundred meter mark ,he found the same problem he can't move forward at least using his natural five senses.
But when he surrender his body to his intuintion,although he got slightly injured as his intuintion was still of low rank he was moving forward.
99m,97,95.....after the 90 meter it become very difficult again to move forward, so instead of doing that, he stayed on that spot to further train his intuintion skill, while being at his highest level of alerts.
"I can survive Falling for the mountain,but I will surely die here if a branch stab through one of my vitals, so I ought to be extra careful. Now that I think about it since I came to this island all I had been doing was eating or training, another person would have already gone crazy from all this training, but I am enjoying it. am i perhaps what they call masochist?hhhhhh."
As he refined his intuintion,he also moved forward although slowly but surely.
The closer he was to the great tree, the more branches that attacks him.
And after three days he was already only ten meters away from his goal.
Coincidentally as he reached the ten meter mark the system window made a new notification.
[Intuintion (Rank F) has risen to (Rank D)].
Then later that day when I reached five meter away from the tree, I surprisingly was not being attacked anymore.
"Eh?"
{ No more? Is this perhaps another trap?}, I thought as I found no attack coming towards me,which I had find strangly unsettling.
{But my intuition doesn't detect any danger so maybe it really ends here? }
After letting my guard down and relax a little, I found the ground gradually getting closer to my face.
When I was about to faint I thought, { Oops,when have I been attacked,no in the first place have I been really attacked.... }
After a lightning fast inspection through my body I found that I wasn't really attacked instead I am about to faint from blood loss since I had put my body through a lot pain than usual today.
My last thought before I fainted were,{ I only hope my intuition hadn't fail me, otherwise I might not see light again, by the way had I perhaps gained the skill { thought acceleration without knowing otherwise how could I think of all of this in a moment as I was fainting?. }
°•○●□■♤♡◇♧°•○●□■♤♡◇♧
When I first open my eye ,I took a deep breath as I felt oxygen enter my body,I thought,{thank goodness I am still alive. }
The second thing that came to my mind is,{where the heck I am again? And why did I said again unconsciously?, was it because I was already familiar with this? }
Beneath me was tree wood,above My had were white things like clouds, No,they are not like clouds, they are the clouds themselves.
Coming to this conclusion,I immediately realized where I was,"the peak of the great tree!....but how did I came here ...it's not like a gust of wind had thrown me here.right?"
Suddenly a thought was conveyed to my brain directly saying that
" its me ! "
Although I was not disgusting feeling disgusted, I shiver down my spine as I looked around "Who is there??"
No sound come out,but I was again informed directly through my brain.
I again freaked out after all not everyday you found something directly sending his thoughts toward your brain, but this time I didn't freak out for long.
The sender was the same great tree that I was standing on.
It's said or instead of saying said, it's more like it conveyed it's thought directly toward my brain ,on the other hand my brain filter it's massage so I can comprehend it's massages.
Anyhow, the great tree had told me a great deal of things,while some were interesting some were not.
Of the most interesting thing it conveyed to me was the fact that it was the one who helped me out to get here, and also the fact that it was she herself that had been making the branch sprouting on it.
When asked why it did that, it said that having grow in a very special place, making it able to harness the energy of the planet more directly than other things, and the fact that it had lived a long time, it had become capable and gain the ability to generate thoughts.
In other words,it had gain wisdom.
And because of this wisdom of it ,it set a trail for anyone who trying to become it's master.
It's master need to be both strong,flexible and wise,but even after a long time none of the beasts on this island who reached the inner region had been able to make it through its trail, since their wisdom was close to nothing,until I came.
"Master,is this the same plot I see sometimes in Chinese novels ? But some get legendary weapons or an old man claiming to be somene important trapped in some ring. why only I got a 6 km tall tree? I can't lift it let alone holding it by hand."
As if seeing through my thoughts another flood of information had being stuffed to my head.
"Ah,so that's how is it,if that the case I can really use you, but for now please just let me sleep", as I said that to the great tree, I lay down on the wooden floor that I had slept on before, then slept in less than a min.
