After the incident, Leon and his group of four parted ways with Yuno and his group of three before returning to the base.
When they returned to the base, it was already dark.
After eating dinner, Leon locked himself in his room once again.
He also held the refreshments he had asked Charmy to prepare.
Upon returning to his room, Leon first placed the food on his nightstand.
Then he took out a blueprint from the cabinet.
After spreading the blueprint on the floor, Leon stretched his body, rubbed his hands together, and said, “Time to grind!” He then picked up a sketching pencil and began to create on the blueprint.
Having experienced the battle in the dungeon, Leon deeply understood the flaws in the weapons he had created.
Slow charge time, low damage, and poor aiming.
It was precisely these three points that made Leon realize his mistakes.
He had thought of this magic world too simply.
After all, Yami’s later Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash could cut through space, and the only thing he had that could cause such power was Devour Magic.
However, the side effects of Devour Magic were obvious.
It was prone to going out of control.
Although he did not know what would happen after losing control, he knew just by thinking about it that he would surely become a monster with nothing left in its mind but the urge to devour.
Therefore, all Leon could rely on now was the knowledge in his mind, which he would then create using metal magic.
After sketching the general content on the blueprint, Leon began simulating the data.
“First is the critical point of magic power transportation.” After saying this, Leon continuously injected magic power into the sphere in his hand.
As Leon continued to inject magic power, the patterns on the sphere began to flash with silver light.
But as more magic power was injected, the silver light on the patterns gradually turned blue, and finally it slowly turned red.
When he saw the patterns flashing with red light, a look of horror appeared on Leon’s face, and he quickly threw the red-flashing sphere away.
“BOOOM!” After a cloud of dust settled, Leon looked at the wall that had been blown up again.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, he hesitated for a moment.
Maybe he should just run away!
Once this thought arose, Leon grabbed the food Charmy had prepared and jumped out through the gap in the wall.
As for why Leon had such a thought, it was naturally because…
“Bastard Leon!
Stop destroying the base indiscriminately!” Listening to Yami’s roar coming from behind him, Leon quickened his pace even more.
However, Leon did not dare to go too far, as he was genuinely afraid of getting lost around the base.
Leon did not dare to take the gamble.
If he won it would be fine, but if he lost he would be gone for months.
After arriving around the base, Leon looked at the large crater he had previously blown out and decided to complete the development of his new weapon right there.
After creating another sphere, Leon significantly strengthened the magic circuits inside it.
This time he believed it would not explode so easily.
But clearly Leon had thought too much.
Looking at the sphere in his hand flashing red again, Leon hurriedly used Steel Great Wall to create a semi-enclosed box, threw the sphere inside, and immediately sealed it shut.
After waiting a moment and feeling a small portion of his magic power disappear, he dispelled the magic.
Seeing that no explosion sounded, Leon excitedly made a gesture of success.
He was genuinely afraid that too many explosions would wake everyone inside the base.
After all, he had chosen to research his new weapon in the middle of the night, so he could not disturb others.
So from then on, every time Leon saw the sphere flashing red, he threw it into the box built from Steel Great Wall.
After continuing this who knows how many times, Leon felt that the magic power in his body was running low, and the ground beside him was covered in recorded data.
Exhausted, Leon could not help but sit on the ground, but his eyes revealed a sense of determination.
He cheered himself on and said, “I can still become stronger!
The current data is not the limit!
I will definitely create a weapon that can pierce through all defenses!” “Since you have such conviction, then work hard to surpass your limits.” Hearing the voice, Leon hurriedly turned back to look.
A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
“Ya, Captain Yami.” “Yo.” Yami, with a cigarette in his mouth, greeted Leon.
After saying this, Yami sat down beside Leon and placed one hand on his shoulder.
“Although I do not know why you ran out in the middle of the night, you did destroy the base’s wall.” “Ahaha, I will fix it.” Hearing this, Yami took the cigarette out of his mouth.
He looked at the place Leon had previously blown up and said slowly, “You do not need to do the repairs.
After all, there are ghosts in the base.” After saying this, Yami placed his hand on Leon’s head and said calmly, “I have heard about your performance in the dungeon.
You are strong, kid.
However, although I do not know what you are trying to do, since you are going to do it, you must see it through to the end.
If you reach your limit, then break through and surpass it.
Remember, you are a member of the Black Bulls.” Listening to Yami’s flat tone, though it was flat, Leon felt a unique tenderness, a tenderness that belonged only to Yami.
Feeling Yami’s large hand rubbing his head, Leon turned to look at Yami.
A smile appeared on his exhausted face.
“Captain Yami, then should you not consider settling those months of back pay first?” Upon hearing this, Yami stood up immediately while avoiding Leon’s gaze.
“Ah, I am going back to sleep first.” Without waiting for Leon’s response, Yami left the place as if fleeing.
Watching Yami’s involuntarily quickened pace, the smile on Leon’s face became even brighter.
He then stood up from the ground, looked at the data on the ground, stretched his joints, and said with a determined gaze, “Then let us surpass our limits tonight!” …
