In the end, Leon didn't manage to create the armor he wanted. As expected, creating an inorganic object that could drain, store, and restore his mana was a bit too much... However, Leon managed to make some interesting gear.
Semi-Indestructible Mithril Armor
It grants you: Endurance + 1500, Mentality + 1500
Self-Repair function: It uses the mana of the user to repair itself.
Condition: When the armor suffers any damage.
Durability: 18000 days
It was pretty impressive, but considering that Leon could use Mana Armor, Mana Shield, and Mana Barrier, it felt somewhat useless. However, Leon already met individuals that could ignore his defensive spells, so such armor was a necessity. Leon's ultimate goal was to create a power-suit, but it would take some time before that happens.

Those unexpected notifications also made Leon conclude that he could create a giant robot if he wanted. Although the massive weight would be a problem, he could nullify that by using Gravity and Telekinesis.
Regardless, before thinking of creating giant robots, Leon had to become a lot more stronger in order to make that much mithril. Even though that kind of idea was already proof enough that he got a lot stronger...
"In any case, I need another goal since it is too early for me to learn conceptual magic..." Leon said. "Maybe I won't even need to learn it to reach my ultimate goal. Well, I guess it is time to learn how to absorb spells."
Leon was aware that after Resistance, the second tier of elemental passive skills would be Immunity. But despite the fact that he trained his elemental resistances for decades, he had no idea how to become immune to elemental attacks. Despite its name, Leon was fully aware that even skills like Fire Immunity would have limits, but it was the next step and goal he needed.
"Well, just in case, I guess I should train my elemental resistances up to the max level," Leon said. "It would be a pain if those skills are part of the requirements to learn others, and I only discover that far in the future."
In the end, Leon forced himself not to kill the monsters, and he even let them attack him as much as they wanted. As expected, the power behind the attacks of monsters on the fourth stage wasn't something to laugh at. Despite that, Leon only killed them when the island was full.
Thanks to Leon spartan training, he was forced to eat much more than usual since he was losing a lot of weight even though he was healing himself whenever possible also to train his healing skills. Despite that, it took five years for him to level up his resistance to the max level. Leon even made use of Donan and the angels for that...
"Now I don't need to harm myself anymore... good grief," Leon said after a long sigh. "Now, I can focus on learning new skills again while I try to understand the logic behind immunity skills."

Considering that it was the upgraded version of the elemental resistances, the immunities also were supposed to be passive skills. So, Leon couldn't learn them by using mana. If Leon couldn't use mana, then the only way to learn it would be by burning himself... but if he burns himself, then he won't learn the skill because it was supposed to prevent that...
"No, in the end, skills can only do so much on their own,�� Leon said. "Even if I have Fire Immunity at the max level, if I face a stronger opponent that uses fire, I will get hurt in the same way if I didn't have the skill."
In the end, Leon could only use fire and see what happens. As expected, since his intelligence was high, he ended up burning himself a lot, even using a small flame. Fire Resistance was supposed to prevent that, but since his Fire Creation increased his fire power, it was unavoidable.
"Mmm... some skills also have status requirements. Maybe that is what is missing," Leon rubbed his chin.
Leon's mentality was really now, and since he had no idea if his theory was true or how high his mentality would have to be, he hesitated in allocating his points. However, in the end, he did it. Leon still could remember how easily he lost his arm when that other human attacked him... to avoid that kind of scenario again; he would need more defensive skills.
