With the wood of a Lesser Spirit Tree as the main conductor, [Blood Metal] as the frame, and the [Mental Crystals] as a power source, he wanted to create a weapon.

If he succeeded in what he was trying to do, it would not be long for him to actually create a Magical Weapon. Something that Freed also tried to do in their world, however, the lack of efficient materials prevented it from developing far from the start.

Back in Eriellis, they tried on the same idea with using the [Mental Crystals] to make weapons. After all, a single person could only have a limited number of Psychic Abilities even with the [Mental Crystals]. Thus, they tried to develop such weapons that could be used by anyone.

Using the bones and body parts of Psychic Mutated Animals and Infected, they did succeed. However, the power of the Psychic Abilities used as a power source was toned down harshly. The reason being that the conductor had a very low capacity for transferring Psychic Energy.

Thus, when the larger and more powerful Psychic Infected appeared, these weapons became useless.

As Mark inherited Freed's memories, who was the brain of those weapon designs, he knew the greatest fault in those weapons. No material in their world could conduct Psychic Energy efficiently.

On Earth, however, Mark might have found the possible solution to that problem.

It was a very unfortunate thing for Freed and his world if Mark actually succeed.

Both Earth several other dimensions exist side by side. As Earth had grown along with its inhabitants, these dimensions also grew.

However, Freed and his civilization were brought to another planet where everything was still at the start. There might be other dimensions that exist in that world. However, it was also different from what Earth had.

Spirit Trees and the like might have not exited on that planet. That gave them the limit for their survival.

Now, Mark was trying to fill that error they suffered. What he only lacked now was [Mental Crystals] containing Psychic Abilities. Well, it would not last for too long though. After they open the portal to both dimensions, Mark would not have a lack of resources anymore.

When Mark voiced that idea, both Pefile and Amihan shivered. The two could only wish luck to those that would try to cross path with Mark.

Using different sizes, thickness, and length of wood, Mark channeled his Psychic Energies to check the conduction.

And as Mark had thought, this material he decided to call [Magic Wood], could conduct such paranormal energies as long as it was not miasma. Mark tried using miasma and it immediately destroyed the block of wood he was holding.

Miasma was truly a destructive thing.

As for other forms of paranormal energy he had, he could fee it being channeled through the wood. However, it was hard to determine the flow and the energy seemed to be being dispersed while being channeled into the wood.

Thus, Mark had an idea.

He asked Odelina to bring Annica to his working area.

Looking at the lively girl that arrived, Mark scratched his head. Annica was really good at forming a friendship with animals and insects. She arrived while being carried by Fein. It was even though it would not carry just anyone aside from Mark and Mei.

”Can you use the door next time?”

That was the first sentence that Mark said to her when she arrived.

”But it's faster like this.”

Annica complained.

”I'll use the actual workshop next time then.”

Mark said without taking his eyes away from his work. That statement made everyone feel tickled and made Annica pout.

It was until she saw what Mark was doing.

Her eyes then glowed and she exclaimed excitedly when she saw the glow in Mark's body traveling through the pieces of wood he was holding.

With her interest taken in, the short banter stopped and she joined the work after Mark explained.

Using Annica's eyes, they tried to determine the most efficient size and length the [Magic Wood] could channel energies.

And, it really did not take too long. By the time that lunch was cooked and was served by Odelina and Spera, Mark and Annica managed to determine the best length and size of [Magic Wood] that could be used.

Compared to how a Psychics could channel their energy in their bodies, it was still lacking. However, if it was used properly, it might be able to be used as a good weapon.

Not only Mark. Everyone that witnessed him using the stick of [Magic Wood] as a wand and firing a small electric ball with it like a wizard, everyone had good expectations about this.

And as such, Mark put out the design for the first [Magic Weapon] he wanted to create. A barrier railgun that could be used along with Abbygale's [Psychic Barriers].
