306 Chapter 305
Leon had to work for an entire day to create a weapon that would satisfy its user and his own criteria, but in the end, he was more than satisfied with the result. Since Alurelle was the less annoying of the group, he created her twin swords first.

It was pretty good for a day's work... that being said, it was too big, and Alurelle couldn't even dream of using that around on her ordinary form. Since she couldn't stay in that form all day, Leon decided to create an earth platform near their base to store their massive weapons. He had to spend some mana to create something like that, but with Soul Eater at his disposal, that wasn't a problem.
"Unbelievable... to be this strong even without any enchantments..." Alurelle said in shock. "You can enchant items, right?"
"Do you mean sealing the souls of monsters inside a weapon?" Leon asked. "Yes, I can. But you should only think about that once you return to your world. The angels are strong, right? Then, using them as catalysts is obviously the best option.
"Yes... you are right..." Alurelle said while staring at her new weapons and imagining how strong she would be once Leon enchants those swords.
According to Alurelle and friends, their weapons were fifty percent weaker than the twin swords. They were big and had some enchantments, but weren't that impressive. In fact, their only special power was the power to become much bigger.
Regardless, Leon thought that creating bigger weapons would increase their power, but he didn't have enough mana or time to test that theory. Although Leon wanted those twin-swords for himself, he couldn't use them due to its size... but that wasn't a problem. The more Leon level up Craft and Blacksmith, the stronger the weapons he creates will be.
"The swords are powerful enough..." Jorhorn said, visibly displeased even though that weapon belonged to his sister. "But, you used too much mana."
"If you think you can do better, then be my guest," Leon said while he was allocating the status points he received.
Leon didn't know if that group had a leader, Jorhorn certainly had the presence and the annoyance of an authoritarian leader, but Jertien was the oldest. He passed him the vibes of a calm leader who was always thinking about his next steps... Regardless, it wasn't a good idea to annoy any of them, but Leon wouldn��t let them treat him like a servant.
"My weapon will be next!" Ismenria declared. "Can you make a bow that can only increase my dexterity and speed?"
"Yes, but you will have to create the string," Leon answered.
Ismenria tried to act cool before, but she obviously was the most childish one of the group. Even though she was fighting to recover her world one day, she looked at Alurelle swords as if that was a new toy, and she wanted one.
Regardless, it wasn't his job to collect the mana from forging the weapons. So, Leon returned Soul Eater to Ismenria, and then he began his own training. While Ismenria was making everyone help her to look for monsters, Alurelle became bigger to practice with her new swords.
"Now then... what should I train now?"
Since Leon would need mana more than anything, he started to plant the blue angel leaves. In the last battle, Leon managed to avoid certain attacks thanks to Haste, so keep training that skill was a must. Besides, it was too much fun to keep that spell active since Leon could become a lot faster. That being said, Leon would have to build a colossal telescope hoping to find Earth, and after that... the only way choice he had was to use transfer.
"I also have other option... face that shadowy figure and discover how to teleport."
Donan could teleport while he keeps Dark Aura active, but it wasn't a spell per se. It was one of the effects of other skills. Dark Aura also was physically taxing, so Leon would have to endure some painful after-effects.
"Let's see... there is a small chance of me finding something that will help me return home on the harvesters' worlds. There is also a small chance that I will find Earth in the middle of the vastness of the universe... even if I find it. I will have to have a stupidly, large mana pool... Last but not least, I can also try to defeat a monster that has the title of 'god of death' in order to obtain the knowledge of how to bend space... three great plans with 'high' chances of success."
Leon could only sigh while thinking about those options, in the end, it couldn't be helped since Donan probably didn't know to explain that power... he only could use it. The people of Miebos had some magic knowledge, but it wasn't enough for Leon. Alurelle and friends probably came from a world that developed perhaps even more in terms of magic research. Still, the survivors were magic warriors, and the only magic they could use was offensive magic.
As always, the chances of Leon succeeding in any of his plans were quite dim. Still, he had no intention of giving up. Six years ago, he laughed at the idea of flying while flapping his arms, but now that was probably possible since he was fast and strong enough... that being said, he had no intention of doing that. Anything was possible...
