After two weeks, Leon finally explored that entire world. After a while, he was forced to create a map using a steel plate in order to keep it safe while Leon was away. That planet had three continents, and all of them had several mountains where the hippogryphs used to create their nests and reproduce. That kind of information would help Leon if he wanted to hunt them non-stop, but that wasn't the case.

"This world has eleven purple crystals; one of them leads to Earth. So, I have ten options..."

Unfortunately, Leon didn't find any signs of humans in that world. He also didn't manage to think of any ways to observe mana... even if Leon could, the chances of him finding any traces after so many years were dim.

Although Leon had many doubts in his mind, he at least discovered a few things. One of them was the fact that monsters from other worlds weren't coming to the hippogryphs' world.

"Mmm... why the monsters of other worlds aren't coming to this one? I didn't notice that before, but I didn't see any monsters aside from the devourers on the world where I found Efreet and Gnome. What are the differences between those worlds, and why that happens?"

It doesn't matter how much Leon thinks about it. He wouldn't find an answer without finding some differences first. However, Leon already knew what the worlds that were being invaded by several types of monsters had in common; all of them had sentient species.

"Goblins couldn't talk, but they could build their own societies and cities. So, they can be considered as the homo sapiens of Earth... Considering that, it makes sense that monsters would attack the words that have such creatures, because they could learn new skills faster and even mine mithril or other stones enriched with mana."

That kind of information was valuable, but it wouldn't help Leon all that much. Regardless, if monsters tend to invade worlds that had sentient beings, could it be than all the other ten purple crystals would lead to planets like Earth, Miebos, and Celosie? Leon couldn't imagine that.

"... I have to stop thinking about this for the time being. My goal is to find Amanda, Maya, and the others. After that, I can afford to worry about other things."

Although Leon wanted to move on, he didn't know what crystal he should choose. Just like he didn't find any sign of humans nearby them, there wasn't much difference in choosing one or another.

"I guess I will start choosing the purple crystal most distant from the one that leads to Earth…"

"They aren't like cute like in the movie..."

Leon was quite sure that the gremlins could be considered demons, at least their attitude makes them look like that. They were burning buildings that were already destroyed, putting trees on fire, and even killing each other for no reason.

Usually, Leon would turn around and get the hell out of there. But Leon didn't because he was interested in their short spears. They seemed to be magic weapons, and it would be a good idea to grab a few of them instead of half-killing monsters to drain their mana.

"I don't want to rely on tools anymore, but even though it will be hard to transport so many of them, it will be a good idea to have those around to save time."

Since Leon stared at them for so long, the gremlins eventually felt his presence. Although the little demons had several ranged skills, they were vicious and stupid to the point of approaching Leon to pierce him with their spears. In the end, that caused their downfall and helped Leon a lot. Shooting Plasma Bullets with the help of Fast Conjuration, Leon killed them in seconds. However, the smell of blood attracted many, many more gremlins... that world had been totally taken by them. It was a wonder that the world as a whole didn't become a ball of fire.

Demonic Fire Spear

It grants you the skill: Fiery Pierce Lv 200. Strength + 400, Speed + 400.

Cost: 200 mana

Mana: 9620/10000

Although the weapon was more powerful than the liches' wands, it had less mana to be drained. Surprisingly, Leon didn't manage to get the mana inside of it using Mana Absorption. Only Mana-Eater worked on magic weapons...

"Well, I already expected some problems to use Mana Absorption... I can't have everything I want, as always."

It wouldn't change a thing since those little demons had already taken that world. But Leon still felt refreshed in killing the creatures that couldn't do anything but cause destruction.
