Leon was finally able to melt away a thin layer of ice on the ice pillar after fifteen minutes.
He was doing the burning, but the one performing a detailed analysis of the ice pillar's contents was the chip.
After all, the chip was tens or even hundreds of times better than him at data collection and analysis. Moreover, this was only because the chip had been restricted by the limits of his Spirit. The chip's ability would continue to improve and expand as his Spirit slowly increased.
Thus, Leon gave up on comparing himself with the chip and focused on melting the ice pillar bit by bit. Then he focused on analysing the contents of the ice crystals, the peculiarities of the arrangement of spirit elementium, as well as the forms created by the combination of the spirit elementium with the material elementium.
Leon could feel the existence of spirit elementium everywhere inside the ice pillar.
