Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

It looked like Alurelle and her friends were slacking off when they managed to store that much mana for two weeks because, after three days, they obtained the same amount, and now Ismenria was bothering Leon to create her bow.

"It looks like they don't know how much mithril I can produce with my own mana... they were quite skeptical of my skills, but now they are working hard to receive their own weapons."

Ismenria could produce her own arrows since she could use Earth Transformation, so Leon didn't try to make a few more tests and add special skills or effects to the weapons he created, he decided to do that later, for himself...

Ismenria also had a magic box, but hers could store those massive arrows. It probably had been customized with their technology... and that gave Leon another idea. However, before testing his idea, Leon created Ismenria's bow.

Colossal Mithril Bow

It grants you Dexterity + 675, Speed + 675

"... I want to kiss you," Ismenria said after she analyzed the bow.

"Usually, I wouldn't refuse," Leon said. "But if your affection can be bought with something like this, then, I will have to refuse. Instead of that, I would like to borrow the Soul Eater. I need to create a few things that may help me return home, and the best material is mithril. If you guys don't trust me, I don't mind if two or three of you follow me while I collect mana."

"That is fine, right, brother?" Alurelle asked.

"... Only if two of us are watching you while you collect the mana you want," Jorhorn said. "In order to speed up this, you will only have the chance to do that for a single day every three days, after you complete a new piece of equipment."

"Sure," Leon said.

Since Leon just finished a weapon, he borrowed the Soul Eater, and since Alurelle and Ismenria wanted to practice with their new weapons, they went to watch Leon. Anyway, fighting oversized slimes in the ocean wasn't easy. However, at that point in time, Leon had enough power to crush those monsters using Gravity and Telekinesis alone while Soul Eater absorbed their mana. Although Alurelle and Ismenria went to keep an eye on him, they ended up helping. So, at the end of a single day. Leon managed to store one hundred million mana points. His blue angel leaves could help him a little more, but Leon decided to use those to level up his skills.

After collecting that amount of mana, Leon wanted to produce the things he wanted alone. However, every single moment when Soul Eater was on his hands, at least two other people were watching him. To make matters worse, Alurelle and friends also had the habit of sleeping only once every three or four days. So, it couldn't be helped that Leon would have to create his new items in front of them.

"Let's see if I can add some skills to the items I create without even using monsters' spirits..."

Honestly, Leon wasn't expecting much. The power to create magic weapons was already great sealing spirits of monsters... creating a powerful material using mana alone was also very impressive. If Leon also could add special abilities to the items just using mana, things would be way too weird.

In the end, nothing happened, Leon created a mithril ring that only increased his intelligence and mentality, even though he only wished for a ring that could grant him the power to shoot Mana Bullets. It was a relatively simple skill, so it became obvious that something like that wasn't possible.

"Well, a variation of that should be possible..."

Instead of creating a ring that would grant him a skill, Leon focused his mind solely on creating a ring that would only increase his recovery... the result had been much better than expected.

Mithril Ring of Recovery

It grants you Recovery + 200

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Magic Craftsmanship.

You obtained 01 status points.

Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Magic Blacksmith.

You obtained 01 status points.

"I wonder why I didn't learn those before... is it because I didn't think of customizing the items completely?"

That certainly was a possibility, and Leon confirmed that after creating eight more of those rings and leveling up both skills several times. The complete set would help Leon to recover his mana even faster in the middle of battles, using the bracers of the devourer was useful, but against a mage or monsters that focused their attacks on using magic, getting close to attack sometimes was suicide.

Mithril Ring of Recovery

It grants you Recovery + 220

Things got really interesting when Magic Craftsmanship and Magic Blacksmith reached level ten. Not only Leon got a little faster, creating items, but the effectiveness of the items also improved...

"Well, something like that was already expected... Let's see if things can become interesting even more..."

Mithril Ring of Health

It grants you Health + 110

Now Leon couldn't help but frown, it looks like the effectiveness of items decreased by half, but it still was weird to create a ring that could increase his health so much. That being said, Leon didn't hesitate to create eight more of those... he could use nine of those sets of rings because the tenth would always be the ring that granted him the skill Zen.
