308 Chapter 307
In the end, Leon created more rings that could increase his intelligence, stamina, endurance, and mentality. However, after testing them, he noticed one thing... even if he tried to equip ten rings that could increase his recovery, the bonus never surpassed the total recovery he actually had. The same applied to the other attributes… those would be useful in the future, but Leon felt like he wasted time creating several rings that could increase his health and stamina.
Since Leon spent almost a day collecting mana, he would have to create some bigger things in order to use that mana. Pretty soon, Alurelle and friends would look for monsters in order to obtain mana for their own equipment. Considering that he would go to a world where the monsters decimated the dominant race, and the monsters only appeared in worlds that were only on the third stage of assimilation. Leon decided to focus a bit on defense after creating a set of five mithril spears.
"With my current control, I can use Telekinesis to move twelve objects. While attacking with twelve mithril spears would be cool and all... I guess I will use the remaining mana to create four shields."

"Good, they are big enough to cover me..."
After thinking for a while, Leon concluded that controlling a shield with Telekinesis would have been far more effective to stop Donan. As long as Leon doesn\'t use magic directly to attack him, it would be fine... at least that was Leon thought now that his head had cooled down. Regardless, Leon would use those four shields to protect himself from everything. He decided that after recalling a game of the past which he played with Betty, a certain female warrior had two shields floating around her that could almost automatically protect her. Leon\'s shields wouldn\'t automatically protect him, but it was better than nothing.
"My status won\'t grow with them all that much either, but as long as they stop the enemies and projectiles, I won\'t complain."
Anyway, three days later. Leon created another weapon, this time. The user was Jertien, and Leon created a hammer that increased his intelligence and strength. However, everyone frowned when the status of the weapon was slightly better than the others.
"Don\'t look at me like that," Leon shrugged. "I obtained new skills that will affect the power of the weapons I create using mithril. The more those skills level up, the stronger the weapons will become. Before you guys say something, it should be faster to collect mana in your worlds, right? So, don\'t ask me to create new weapons just because a few have slightly better weapons. Once we arrive there, I will create better ones."
"That is probably for the best," Alurelle nodded.
There was no point in hiding about those skills since Alurelle and friends could use Appraisal. Besides, by saying things like that, Leon would make them even eager to fulfill their side of the bargain. If they keep their word, better weapons are waiting for them... it was the perfect bait to make sure that Leon wouldn\'t be betrayed. Well... almost.
"Mmm... since I\'m at it, what kind of items from videogames and any other medium I can create, and that can help me at the moment?"
The first that came to Leon\'s mind was Magneto\'s helmet... it was the simplest thing he could think of that possibly could counter Appraisal, but it would be too suspicious to create one at the moment. Alurelle and friends might think that he is planning to backstab them.
Since Leon focused only on strengthening himself over the course of the last six years, his memories were kind of foggy. With the exception of a few things, he couldn\'t recall many useful items... most of them were overpowered swords that could banish evil or something, and that wasn\'t something Leon needed at the moment.
"Now that I think about it... I won\'t be able to store my shields inside the magic box. I guess my next goal should be to replicate a bigger version of my magic box... something that can be used or controlled would be preferable. I don\'t want to waste time stopping in the middle of a fight to take items out of the improved magic box..."
Still, creating something like that would be troublesome. The magic of the magic box certainly was space magic, but Leon didn\'t recall seeing any monster using anything like it. The closest to that was the devourers... those creatures could destroy matter to absorb mana, after all.
"I guess it is worth a shot."
Leon decided to make a backpack and try to enchant the weapon later. Soul Eater was on his hands, so the harvesters would probably oppose that idea. Anyway, after creating a few more spare mithril shields and spears, Leon headed to the goblins\' world, hoping that he would create a better version of his magic box.
