"Now that I think about it... it would be a big waste if I can't take these back to reality."
Leon was about to finish the mithril statue of a Sahuagin when he noticed that. Although he could use the rings and the skills he had in reality, could he take the things he created there to the real world? It was impossible to know...
Regardless, Leon didn't waste time, and as soon as he bought or learned a few spells, he immediately practiced them until the desirable level. Leon thought that the number of spells he could learn had a limit, but it looked like he was wrong. The problem was Leon's creativity.

Leon had to spend fifty million coins, but he learned several useful things. Unlike previously that he thought that guy who could control a megalodon was the owner of the beast. He was just controlling it for a time. Leon didn't notice before, but that guy probably invested all his points into recovery.
Although there was no one he could talk to, Telepathy also worked on monsters. The Sahuagins couldn't understand his language, though... that was why Leon learned Zoolingualism. By using that alongside Telepathy, Leon could translate his words to a monster and an animal, and he also could understand their thoughts. That being said, Leon didn't hear anything useful when he used those on the Sahuagins.
"Kill him! Kill that strange man!"
"Kill him! Kill! Kill!"
Although it was a bit depressing, Leon forced himself to hear that in order to level up his skills. Wall Crawling and Hibernation were self-explanatory. Even though there were no walls on the island, Leon could create some made of earth or steel. The skill also worked on trees. Hibernation was even more useful than any of those. By activating the skill, Leon couldn't instantly fall asleep and even determine for how long he wanted to sleep.
One hundred and two days later, after the first group of Sahuagins appeared. A new species of the monster came out of the ocean, and Leon couldn't help but frown while looking at them.

Pointy ears, short, green, and bald... the goblins were like Leon saw in many games and comics. They also had those vicious eyes that could make even the most violent person few shivers... Still, they didn't pose a threat against Leon's golems.
"The goblins I found in Miebos are probably the evolution of those... Still, making them appear out of the water it is weird. I guess even the illusionary magic of Sekundez has limits."
Although they were stronger than the Sahuagins, the fact that they could only attack up close was their biggest weaknesses. Leon's golems defeated them in mere instants, and even if they manage to get close enough, Leon doubted that they wouldn't manage to do anything.
Little by little, Leon was becoming quite sure that the wouldn't be able to take anything back to reality from there. The fact that not only the Sahuagins but they also goblins didn't leave their weapons behind confirmed that theory.
"Well, at least by creating those statuses, I will train my crafting skills."
It wasn't much, but the level one goblins also granted Leon three coins. Little by little, his income increased, but then Leon started to wonder if he buys some accessories, would those accessories return to reality once he completes the trial? Most likely, the answer was yes. If Ilyana's vault was still working, it was because she had control time to some extent. The answer to his problem was to Leon create a space similar to that, but Leon doubted that he could do it without Sekundez's power.
"Now that I think about it... isn't this place like the interior of a magic box?"
Leon knew that time never passed inside his magic box, but he was pretty sure that imaginary monsters didn't spawn inside of it. Leon shook those thoughts out of his head because that kind of thing was troublesome, and he would end up questioning himself if dreams didn't happen in some parallel universe.
Regardless, even though Leon wanted to summon some water golems since the opponents this time weren't aquatic monsters, Leon refrained from doing so because the island was already too crowded, and the fire and earth golems weren't leveling up fast enough. Adding another group of elemental golems would only make things less efficient.
"Wait a minute... if I managed to level up my spells using against myself, won't that work on my golems as well?"
There was only one possible way to find out the truth, but Leon was already certain that his torment would begin again.
