Before dawn, an explosion rang out, and everyone in the hideout woke up instantly.
The location of the explosion was none other than Leon’s room.
“Bang!” “Brother Leon, what happened!” Asta asked Leon while gasping for breath as the others in the hideout gradually arrived.
Hearing Asta’s voice, Leon turned around with a soot-stained face and said with a smile, “Ara ara, the experiment failed.” Seeing everyone gathered outside the door, Leon embarrassedly explained the reason for the explosion just now.
It turned out that after returning to his room, Leon had an idea in his mind to create an alloy.
If he could create an alloy, he would be able to cause greater destruction with less magic power.
But clearly Leon failed, and he blew up the house in the process.
However, Leon was not without gains.
Under the influence of the explosion, his magic power successfully broke through to the Third Stage, and a new defensive magic appeared in his grimoire.
It was a blessing in disguise.
After explaining the sequence of events leading to the explosion, the worry in everyone’s eyes slowly faded.
Then Leon heard complaints from everyone.
Vanessa said, “I finally managed to fall asleep.
Next time you cannot sleep, come keep me company and have a drink.
Do not just blow up the house.” Asta said, “As long as Brother Leon is okay, that is fine!” Luck said, “Leon, if you have so much energy, do you want to have a fight?” Magna said, “What kind of research are you doing in the middle of the night!
The Captain gave us the whole day off!” Gordon said very quietly, “If possible, I would also like to be blown up with Mr.
Leon.” Gauche said, “Hmph, I do not care what research you are doing.
I still have to research the gift I am buying for my sister tomorrow.” Charmy said, “Here, have this cake.
You will definitely succeed in your research next time.” Finral said, “It is good that you are okay.” Grey said, “Phew.” Although everyone was complaining, Leon only felt boundless warmth from their words.
This was the Black Bulls.
As expected, he still liked it here.
“Hehe, I promise it will not happen next time.” After seeing everyone off, Leon wiped the dust from the explosion off his body and lay down on the bed.
Leon stared at the ceiling and reached out his hand.
“Erha, why do you think everyone in the Black Bulls is so gentle?” [“I’m just a gluttonous devil.
How would I know?”] “Haha, is that so?
Well, I do not know either.” After saying this, Leon retracted his raised hand and turned on his side to sleep.
After daybreak, Leon stretched on the bed and then sat up groggily.
“Erha, what time is it?” [“Ha, how would I know?
I just woke up too, and besides, I am still a kid.
I need to get enough sleep, okay!”] Hearing Erha yawn, Leon could not help but yawn as well.
“Are you not a devil?
Do not think just because you sound like a little boy that you are actually a kid.” After freshening up, Leon came to the main hall, only to find that Charmy was the only one left there.
Picking up a piece of cake casually, Leon asked curiously, “Charmy, where is everyone?” “Everyone went shopping!” Hearing this, Leon remembered that Captain Yami had paid them their wages yesterday.
After swallowing the cake in his hand, Leon lifted Charmy who was eating cake onto his lap.
“Then Charmy, why did you not go shopping?” “I do not have anything to buy.
Here, you have this.” After taking the food Charmy handed him, Leon thought carefully and realized he did not seem to have anything to buy either.
Then Leon thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity while everyone was away from the hideout to conduct research.
Consequently, after putting Charmy back on her seat, Leon went directly to the open space next to the hideout to test his newly acquired defensive magic.
“Metal Creation Magic: Steel Great Wall.” Then Leon raised his hand, and he saw a steel structure suddenly emerge from the soil in front of him.
As the full view of the steel structure was revealed, Leon looked at the Steel Great Wall that was dozens of meters high in front of him and instantly became excited.
“As expected!
Just like I imagined, it really is the Great Wall!” After the excitement, the grimoire beside Leon flipped again.
“Metal Creation Magic: Barrett.” Getting into a shooting stance, Leon used another magic.
“Devour Magic: Black Comet.” Then Leon pulled the trigger, aiming at the Steel Great Wall in front of him.
“Bang!” A streak of black light shot out from the muzzle of the Barrett and headed straight for the Steel Great Wall.
But it only left a black bullet mark on the Steel Great Wall.
At the same time, Leon felt a large chunk of his magic power suddenly disappear.
“As long as there is magic power, can it withstand any attack?” Leon muttered to himself in confusion.
Subsequently, to verify his hypothesis, Leon fired another bullet, but this time it relied on his own magic power.
As the magic bullet struck the Steel Great Wall, Leon felt his magic power consume another portion.
“And the magic consumption varies depending on the intensity of the attack.” After confirming his hypothesis, Leon cancelled the Steel Great Wall and the Barrett.
Subsequently, he sat on the ground and continued his research on composite alloys.
After experiencing eighty-one explosions, Leon looked at the alloy in his hand and revealed the only white thing on his entire body, his teeth.
“Finally, I have researched it successfully!” Afterwards, Leon did not even have time to wash the dust off his body before he started the project of replacing the metal on the gun with the alloy.
And all of this, now that Leon had successfully researched the alloy, was just a matter of time.
Time reached dusk, and everyone who had gone shopping gradually returned to the hideout.
At the same time, Leon who had finally finished the replacement work also returned to the hideout exhausted.
Just as he entered the hideout, before Leon could even speak, he saw fireballs, water orbs, and a frying pan shooting toward him.
At the same time, the sound of thunder and lightning mixed in the air.
Quickly dodging these attacks with a dive, he saw Luck with lightning flashing around his body rushing toward him.
Seeing this, Leon had no choice but to summon the Mark 43 armor.
Covered in the armor, Leon reached out his hand to block Luck’s lightning and shouted at Luck in the air, “I am Leon!” Upon hearing Leon’s words, Luck stopped his attack, and the others all made a sound of surprise together.
Seeing the confused crowd, Leon had to explain that he was so black because he had been blasted black from too many explosions.
Afraid that everyone would not believe him, Leon asked Noelle to use water magic on him.
After being washed by the water flow, much of the dust on Leon’s body was washed away, finally revealing his original appearance.
Asta said, “Eh!
It really is Brother Leon!” Magna said, “Ah, sorry.
I thought you were a ghost just now.” Luck said, “Hey, Leon, that armor from just now is so fun.
Let’s have a fight.” …
