In order to make things more efficient, Leon had to chop some trees. Fortunately, the trees could still grow on the massive earth platform Leon created above the island. Thanks to that, Leon managed to keep his food safe and also give a clear vision to all the golems of the island in order to attack him. Although the magic attacks of the golems barely could damage Leon, he was feeling quite troubled because their attacks had the same power of a mosquito bit... now imagine yourself being bit by thousands of them at the same time.
���I thought Pain Resistance would nullify this annoying feeling, but I was wrong..."

At least Leon was managing to obtain a lot of status points while enduring that annoying situation. In fact, it was one of the few situations Leon could use his 'Zone' skills.
"I will need to increase my mana regeneration a lot more, but I guess with this many monsters around me, I will be able to level up Health Zone, Stamina Zone, and others skills like that pretty fast."
There were thousands of golems around Leon, and as long as he stays in the center of the island, his skills would reach his monsters. Although it wasn't a convenient way for monsters to grow stronger, it wasn't half bad to make them fight much more powerful monsters.
That kind of situation could also help Leon to level up skills like Mana Armor, Mana Shield, but the cost of mana would be even higher. So, that was a plan for the future. Although that kind of situation was a bit annoying and unsettling for Leon since whenever he uses too much mana, he would wake up, Leon decided to keep Mana Zone active even while he sleeps. Most likely, that would make him wake quite frequently, but at least the golems would reach the level max much faster.
"Now that I think about it... I should learn the Summon Corrupt Tree of Mana. If I can absorb the mana within my monsters here, that plant can eat those monsters and generate the mana fruit."
Unfortunately, even though Leon had enough status to learn, Water and Earth Creation weren't at the necessary level. So, he would have to train those for a while before learning the skill. It would be a bit dreadful to see a carnivorous plant eating a corpse, and Leon was pretty sure that the efficiency wouldn't be that great since the goblins didn't have all that much mana. Still, Leon decided to stop using Mana and Restoration Zone to level up the skills he needed to learn what he wanted. Two weeks later, Leon finally learned it.

The monster was quite ugly, but Leon learned how to summon it because he was interested in its abilities, nor its appearance. It was very weird since it had a big mouth and teeth on the top of its body, but had no eyes or ears... it was indeed a plant that had several tentacles that could be used as whips and leaves around its body that could be used as projectiles.
Without wasting any moment, Leon gave the corrupt tree the order to eat a goblin. Fortunately, the creature was quite big and managed to devour the whole corpse in a single moment. However, it spent one full minute chewing it... at the final of the process. Nothing happened.
The same thing happened a few more times until a blue apple-like fruit appeared at the bottom of one of its tentacles. That was the mana fruit, but Leon hesitated since he had never eaten something so blue... Although Analysis or Appraisal didn't work on the fruit, Leon ate it and confirmed that he restored one thousand of his mana points.

"Not bad... it tastes like a mix of orange and lemon," Leon said.
Unfortunately, after generating the first fruit, it took a few more minutes for the plant to create another. However, Leon soon understood why. The creature could produce a fruit that restored mana equivalent to its level multiplied by one thousand, but it needed to consume half of the mana to produce fruit. So, if the level of the plant was thirty, it could only produce a fruit that restored thirty thousand mana points, after eating corpses that in total had at least sixty thousand mana points.
