Mithril Spear of The Devourers

It grants you the skill: Mana Absorption Lv 150.

Leon frowned when he created a magic spear using the spirit of a devourer. There were no status bonuses, but the skill was at a high level. Still, the problem was the fact that Leon had no idea how that would work… considering the nature of the devourers, Leon would have to fight up close to see that skill in action, and that was something Leon didn\'t want to do against the devourers.

"I will test this later… Although I\'m also interested in those creatures\' passive skills, first, we have to look for the spirits." Leon declared.

"Shall we split and look in different directions?" Darya asked.

"No…, let\'s look together since we don\'t know if those monsters are the only ones in this world," Leon answered. "We can\'t use checkpoint while flying, so if something happens, we won\'t be able to reunite fast enough."

"So, over-protective…" Darya sighed.

"I don\'t mind risking myself to reach my goals," Leon explained. "But I don\'t want to cause deaths of those close to me to reach them. So, try not to cause too many troubles for me."

"Yes, yes…" Darya said.

It would be hard to look for the places where the spirits were supposed to be, but considering that the purple crystal was being protected, Leon imagined that he would find similar landmarks nearby them. Leon and Darya had no idea how big a spirit was, so they couldn\'t fly that high.

"Let\'s look for anything suspicious nearby mountains and volcanoes while flying toward a single direction," Leon said. "If you see something unusual, inform me."

"I can see pretty much nothing in all directions," Darya said while looking around. "I\'m sure we will get lost at this rate."

It was impossible to identify the landmarks around each other. So, Leon started to wonder what he could do to solve that problem. It was better to create a trail of some sort… In the end, Leon created some devourer zombies to follow them by behind while eating the ground. The mark on the land was clear, so that problem had been solved. But Leon wondered where in the hell that dirt being eaten was going… it looked like inside those creatures. There was some sort of distorted space where they could separate mana from matter…

Leon and Darya moved first toward the direction they concluded that it was North, but it was hard to say for sure since they flew for several hours, and they didn\'t notice the sun of that planet moving. Now that Leon thought about it, that planet was quite hot. He didn\'t notice because he leveled up his Fire Resistance more than a few times… at least that was his impression, and that confirmed itself after flying for several hours and not finding any sigh of water.

"Fortunately, we can create our own water…" Darya said. "But what about food?"

"I\'m pretty sure the meat of the devourers must be quite tasty and tender…" Leon smirked.

"There is no way I\'m going to eat that," Darya declared. "I would rather starve."

"I wonder for how long you can keep that attitude," Leon said. "Relax, I stored some cabbies inside the magic box."

Although he didn\'t say that, Leon had no intention of eating the devourer\'s meat. He spent four years eating tasty plants, fish, coconuts, and bananas. Leon didn\'t want to admit that, but he was also quite picky. Regardless, Leon and Darya\'s notion of time was weird on that planet. They were pretty sure several hours passed, but the sun didn\'t move at all, and there were no signs of lakes, rivers, or even the sea.

"Could be that this a world that the devourers even drank all the water for mana?" Darya asked.

"It is every possible…" Leon nodded. "No trees, no water… it also looks like that the days here a longer. This is another world any sentient race can\'t live for long."

To make matters worse, there were mountains, but Leon couldn\'t see any signs of volcanoes. It was crazy, but it looked like the devourers ate those too. After flying for what Leon felt like it was twenty hours, he concluded that he soon would reach the same point where he started. It took a little longer, but Leon and Darya found the starting point where the purple crystal was after flying for over thirty hours.

"Ugh… I\'m exhausted." Darya said.

"We barely moved… we just sat on an earth platform." Leon frowned. "Still, to think that we wouldn\'t find even a single plant… it looks like the devourers had a lot of time to destroy this world. Most likely, soon, this world will reach the third stage of assimilation."

"Are you going to give up now?" Darya asked. "We didn\'t find a single sign of the spirits."

"I don\'t want to give up, but… let\'s complete another lap around this world," Leon said. "We will follow other directions. If we don\'t find anything, we will give up."

Leon knew he couldn\'t, nor did he want to rely on something like luck. Still, he couldn\'t keep looking for something like spirits in another world forever. In any case, at this point on time, it became clear that in the second stage of assimilation, people would need much more luck to obtain things like tomes and magic weapons. So far, the only things he found were magic weapons and those that belonged to the humanoid creatures he defeated.

While Leon was thinking about that kind of thing and Darya was murmuring, they noticed something weird in the distance. When they approached, they recognized that it was a building made of stone, the same stone that was made the goblins\' weapons. For some reason, the building was intact and made Leon recall of an old temple.
