252 Chapter 251 (1/2)

It wasn't necessary, but after luring one Kraken, Leon helped his zombie Kraken to speed up the end of the battle. Darya didn't have any magic items; in fact, she was stronger than Leon without any magic items, and while her skills were still at a low-level... Still, Leon decided to create some magic items to keep her safe in case something happens. However... the moment Leon tried to seal the spirit of a Kraken on a steel ring, the ring started to burn and then exploded.

”What the heck...” Leon frowned.

Leon suffered no damage since his Mana Armor was always active, but he lost a lot of mana, and that scared the crap out of him. When the ring exploded, the mana within the Kraken spirit also dispersed. So, he had to find another one. However, when he tried to create a magic staff with the soul of another monster... it exploded again.

”I guess I finally reached the limit of magic items I can create using steel weapons.”

Leon didn't give up, he tried to create magic items by combining several types of metal with the spirits of Krakens and ancient whales, but he failed every time. Not only that, but he also spent one week trying.

”I guess it is impossible to seal their spirits in common metal,” Darya said. ”We have no choice but to keep using magic items from weaker monsters, or... we will have to learn how to create that metal or find in other worlds.”

”So, it can really be found in other worlds.” Leon rubbed his chin. ”The people of my planet didn't try to explore other worlds all that much. Did the people here try that?”

”Yes... but we stopped when the harvesters appeared.” Darya looked away. ”In fact, I even saw one magic staff made of that kind of metal.”

”Just one?” Leon frowned. ”Is it that difficult to find? If that is the case, I thought this kind of item would be kept hidden in a very safe place, and it would go to the hands of a very capable soldier. I didn't think you have visited the frontlines.”

”I didn't... that magic staff belongs to my grandfather.” Darya let out a long sigh. ”Only a few people know this, but by using that magic staff, he managed to stop a rampage harvester by himself.”

”Are you for real?” Leon said, his eyes wide open. ”How exactly he did that? If I manage to learn what kind of spells he used... perhaps I could try to replicate it and then obtain the power to make a harvester tell what I want.”
