Although Leon still had the cape that increased his resistance against curses, it was inside the magic box since he didn't imagine his Mana Armor could be ignored like that. That being said, Leon had his armor since he increased his overall defense.

"Holy shit... don't try to block that attack," Leon said, his eyes wide open. "It can't be blocked."

"I noticed that," Darya said while she was shooting Magma Bullets to keep the Lich at bay. "Can you use Telekinesis to control your body?"

"Yeah... no problem." Leon said and then erected his body while still feeling very uncomfortable for being unable to feel his legs.

Putting the very unpleasant surprise that he couldn't block a magic attack with Magic Armor aside, Leon was sweating cold because of the lack of feeling in his legs. It has been a long while since Leon felt so weak and unprotected. He only felt like that when he got hit by the railgun. The shock had been so big that he forgot that he could easily cancel that annoying effect using Full-Recover.

Even simple spells like Magma Bullets were very powerful in the hands of someone like Darya. However, she was having a hard time hitting the lich. The creature was quite thin and could fly at the same speed Leon could combine several different types of magic, so, Darya only managed to burn a little the creature's cloak.

"Tsk... stop moving, damn it" Darya clicked her tongue.

Leon created an earth platform and sat on it, Darya needed his help, so he couldn't afford to waste time. Using the gravity ring and his Telekinesis, Leon decreased the speed of the monster a lot, but Darya didn't have the chance to use that to attack. Leon and Darya's body got heavier, and a pool of mud appeared under then.

"Ugh… why is my body so heavy?" Darya moaned.

"It is probably due to Stagnation; it is a type of gravity magic," Leon said. "If you can't focus, then switch with me. I will attack."

Leon didn't want to offend her, but Darya got angry. Ignoring her bones cracking, Darya cleared her mind and aimed toward the lich, the creature still could fly faster than she could run, but she still hit the damn monster with three bullets on its head in two seconds. Darya just had to adjust and predict the monster's movement a little. The stagnation effect disappeared, but Leon still could feel his legs numb. He only calmed down and used Full-Recover when he looked toward all directions and didn't see a single creature.

"Damn monsters... I won't let those bastards hit me ever again." Leon said while he was jumping and checking the situation of his legs.

"I got scared too when you fell like a masterless puppet." Darya sais. "Aside from those massives Krakens and whales, it is the first time I felt such powerful magic."

"What about the sleep powder from the wasp queens?" Leon asked.

"... It is the second time I felt such powerful magic." Darya looked away.

Leon sighed in relief; he was back to normal and couldn't feel any weird mana inside his body. He wondered if it was a good idea to create a zombie of the lich's body when Leon looked at it, he only saw an empty cloak around a pile of dust and the purple stick.

"It looks like they turn into dust upon dying..." Darya frowned.

"The price of immortality for selling one's soul..." Leon picked the cloak and the stick.

Undead Trent Branch

It grants you the skill Cursed Ray Lv 150. Intelligence + 60, Mentality + 40.

Mana 29900/30000

It was a magic item, so Leon frowned when he saw the stats. It looked like it would break once someone uses that skill three hundred times, but it wasn't half bad. Cursed Ray was excellent to immobilize enemies, and if he didn't want to use it like that, Leon could always use Mana-Eater to recover some of his mana from it.

"Trent is a type of monster... but why the hell a single piece of a monster tree would grant a level one hundred and fifty skill?" Leon asked.

"Based on what Anton said, most likely, the god of death control the liches since they sold their spirit to him," Darya answered. "It must be a pretty scary combo... undead tree, undead monsters, and a god of death."

Leon could easily imagine a gigantic undead tree, he obtained a part of its body after all. What he couldn't imagine was the god of death. Was it really a god? Or just a regular boss? Would he find such a creature at the end of the dungeon of that region? He could obtain some good items by defeating it, but it was worth the risk?

"What are we going to do?" Dary asked.

"We came here to create magic items…" Leon said. "So, we will create the magic items we want. After confirming its effectiveness and our growth training here for a few days, we will decide if we should take some risks to obtain even more power."

The liches dungeon was in a world that was in the second stage of assimilation, considering the difference between monsters of Miebos and Earth, Leon was certain that the boss of that dungeon would be more than a few times the grim reapers Leon faced. He had some room for leisure before, but he was pretty sure now that wouldn't be the case.
