When Leon returned to the now destroyed plaza, he saw that some soldiers were freeing the guards Leon buried. Some warriors of the lower world had been confined, while others died, since both sides had several losses, the soldiers of the frontlines were waiting for Donan's orders about how to deal with them. However, they became shocked when they saw the half-dead Donan and the completely fine Leon… even though he was feeling like crap.
"You!"Darya shouted angrily when she saw Leon grabbing Donan by the neck as if he was a piece of trash.
"He is alive, and for the time being, he will stay alive," Leon said. "Unless some of you guys try to mess with me."
Darya and the soldiers hesitated, the soldiers knew how powerful Donan was using Dark Aura. Although he only had shown that a few times, his strength was unparalleled. His speed, power, and endurance reached unbelievable levels… yet a single man defeated him, and that was something that even the invaders failed time and time again.
"… It looks like both sides suffered some casualties," Leon said after he looked around. "I guess both sides should also be satisfied with this outcome… Still, this is enough. Release them."
"What?! They destroyed our city, and you want us to release them?" Darya shouted. "You won't give any order to us!"
"My, my… Donan educated you well…" Leon frowned. "Still, I didn't finish talking… I will say a few things to you guys. First, release them. After that, you guys should create a path that will connect the lower world to this city. And then you guys won't stop the people down there from coming to live here in this city… if you guys don't do that, then come to see me on the southern coast of the continent. I will show you something interesting. Bring the leaders of every village to that place, don't forget. I will wait for you there in a month."
After saying, Leon tossed Donan's body to Darya, before she could catch him, Leon returned to the lower world using Transfer while everyone was looking at their wounded leader that had been thrown like a piece of shit.
"What a massive waste of time…"
Leon let out a long sigh, he thought that by punching Donan's face would make him feel better, but it didn't. Meeting Darya again only made things even more complicated because there wasn't a single sign of doubt in her eyes. She was sure that Leon was her enemy, and nothing would change that. Regardless… Leon gave his ultimatum. If Donan deletes her memories again, he would beg for death, and Leon wouldn't grant it to him. Next time he wouldn't try to satisfy his ego, he would arrive shooting dozens of Magma Spears toward Donan's head.
Darya didn't talk about other relatives, but it looked like Donan didn't have a big family. Still, it would be better to let Darya experience a good life with her family, even though things weren't that sincere than living a life where she knew she was only a tool. At least that was what Leon was thinking.
"Let's just hope that bastard learned his lesson…"
Things didn't go well as Leon had imagined, but he certainly wounded Donan's ego. Besides, there was a chance in the last months while he was training Darya he recalled the memories of the times he wasn't an asshole. One could only wait for the best and prepare for the worst…
One day later, Leon returned to the harvesters' tower. He also started to wonder if that was the correct way to refer to them… in any case, he frowned when he saw them carrying the bodies of several monsters while others were transferring their own mana to the Soul Eater.
"Hey… did you finish your business?" Alurelle asked.
"Yes… do you guys plan to attack Miebos?" Leon asked. "If the answer is yes, I would like that you don't do that and focus on gathering mana. Also, I want you guys to do something for me in one month."
"Sure… although we can't drain mana from that barrier, so we didn't intend to attack that world anyway."Alurelle explained. "The monsters here have more mana, so we won't leave this place."
Now that Leon thought about it, he didn't see the type of monsters of that world. However, since some of Alurelle's friends were transporting their bodies. Leon didn't have to look for them.
Aqua Slime

Passive Skills: Water Absorption Lv 250, Underwater Resistance Lv 220, Meditation Lv 250
The monsters of that world were slimes that had the sizes of megalodons, they were pretty scary since they could absorb water to regenerate their parts and because their attacks were insanely powerful. However, the harvesters could easily defeat them using their massive weapons after taking them out of the ocean.
Regardless, those creatures could reproduce themselves at a fearsome pace, and they also could grow stronger just by absorbing mana from the environment. Adding that to the fact that they were the mob monsters of that world, it was indeed the perfect place to use Soul Eater.
"Here, I guess with this, you can create something," Alurelle passed Soul Eater to Leon.
Soul Eater
It drains and stores all the mana of enemy foes.
Mana Stored: 45236521
Leon frowned when he analyzed the weapon, with that much mana, he would be able to create a weapon which was much lighter than the harvesters currently could wield in their giant form… Still, light and big weapons would be convenient, for many reasons. So, Leon began to work because it would take more than a few weeks to create weapons and equipment for everyone.
