"You discovered all of that and didn't tell me?" Darya said, her arms were crossed, and her face red of anger.

"I had my suspicions… but I only confirmed after seeing that creature." Leon explained. "Sorry… I shouldn't have said that kind of thing in such a situation."

"I can't believe this… " Darya covered her face and sat on the ground. "Grandfather is literally using all the people of this world as tools… he is even working for a monster of another world…"

"Although that is the truth, you can't deny the result of his actions," Leon said. "I don't agree with his methods, but thanks to what he did, he can protect this world from the harvesters."

But for how long?" Darya shouted. "I can't see why you managed to survive the day you arrived in this world… the guards can't use all their mana efficiently, after all. But that only shows that eventually, the soldiers fighting in frontlines will perish… in fact, in recent years, the number of casualties is increasing. All because they have to fight while working as a battery…"

"You really are smart… I have to think for almost a year to discover that." Leon scratched the back of his head. "Anyway, I don't think that thing will bother us again. Although a lot of mana had been used to summon him, I don't think the people in the city felt that. So, let's return to the dungeon and create the magic items we want."

"… I can't believe you can still think of things like that after seeing such a monster." Darya let out a long sigh. "I barely managed to keep standing in front of it… that thing had so much mana…"

"You let the fear control yourself again, you felt its mana, but you didn't notice that the monster was also losing mana at an astonishing rate," Leon said. "Still… the bastard could teleport and even feel our presence from very far away. If I didn't have to sell my soul to it, I would probably have accepted the pact."

"You concluded the monster only wanted to talk because the lizards you two mentioned didn't kill you?" Darya asked.

"After some time, I concluded that… it looks like there are some rules on the planets that have been assimilated." Leon explained. "One of those is: beings far stronger than the others can't influence weak beings or worlds that are still in the early stages of the assimilation. That is why I believe we have some chance of surprising the harvesters, they are strong, but I don't think they are strong like the lizard who summoned me to this world and the god of death. Most likely, their planets were destroyed as soon it reached the third stage of assimilation… that is why your grandfather can keep them at bay using soldiers and the defense system."

"Anyway, just don't overthink it," Leon said. "He may have fooled all your world, but just like I said, he got the results you want... The future is uncertain, so his actions might end up causing the destruction of this world, but until now, you and many others lived a peaceful life thanks to him."

Darya sighed again. Maybe she was demanding a bit too much from the person who was the leader of the world but couldn't accept that the safety of the world was based on lies and the careful usage of every single person in the world. Noticing that Darya would have to reach her own answer for that kind of problem, Leon decided to leave her alone with her own thoughts.

After returning to the dungeon, Leon saw several liches roaming around like before. As expected, the god of death had to use his mana to control them to that extent... Despite having used a lot of mana to summon him, they didn't die or anything.

"It looks like even if I kill them, he will obtain some of their mana... I don't really know how it works, but he doesn't intend to leave this world alone even if I stay for months, killing his minions."

It was disgusting seeing a being controlling its own people like minions, so Leon started to wonder if Donan would someday act like that... that would undoubtedly break Darya's heart. She didn't like him all that much, but he was a relative. Regardless, just to annoy the god of death, he defeated all liches. Even though Leon knew it was useless since he probably had several dungeons with the sole purpose to gather mana in many other worlds.

Mithril Ring of the Liches

It grants you the skill Zen Lv 90. Intelligence + 90, Mentality + 60.

"As expected, the material made of mana can grant more skills to magic items since it can conduct the spirit of the creature with more ease…"

That being said, Leon wasn't satisfied with only that, before adding other souls to the ring, he wondered how awesome it would be a magic item created using the spirit of an undead Trent. Still, it would take too long to defeat a creature like that.

Mithril Ring of the Liches (+4)

It grants you the skill Zen Lv 127. Intelligence + 127, Mentality + 84.

Since his control increased, Leon also could improve magic items a few more times. By far, that ring was the most powerful magic item he has. Still, that was only the beginning. To decrease the difference of power between himself that only has almost six years using mana, to the creatures that were fighting for hundreds of years, Leon would need more... much more... and Leon could only hope that he would keep growing without relying on magic items too much.
