There was nothing special in the subspace pocket of the secret warlock.

Mana Stones, Black Magic Books, and several F~D grade artifacts.

And a purple crystal containing the core of another wizard like a vengeful spirit.

‘Keep it as far away from the wooden sword as possible.’

I found a useful art fact in the subspace pocket of a high-level black magician.

Leon placed the round compass on his palm and used emotional magic.

The ability of the compass was to be able to tell direction and distance by getting the blood of an opponent on it.

The red needle indicates the direction of the opponent, and as you get closer, the needle vibrates to indicate the distance to the opponent.

It was a C-class tracking artifact.

‘If you can get your blood on it, doesn’t that mean you already have the upper hand?’

I thought it wouldn’t be of much use, but then I remembered a use for it.

‘It doesn’t have to be someone you want to kill.’

It could also be used to identify targets to monitor or the location of friendly forces.

It seemed like there would be many useful moments.

Leon took only the mana stones and the tracking compass and put the rest back in the corner.

And then I heard about Lydra’s subspace pocket.

Leon didn’t open his pocket right away.

‘Will he be alive?’

Rydra, who remained in Widia and fought against the black magician until the end.

The last thing Leon saw of Lydra was the back of her head as she summoned a giant cloud.

There is no way to know whether he is alive or dead, but I am inclined to think that he is dead.

The situation was that desperate.

In some ways, it was like the teacher was dead.

There was no bond between master and disciple, but from then on, Leon was his only personal disciple.

‘plural…….’

It was a luxury to even cry out for revenge against Leon’s skills.

However, if you find a warlock that you can deal with, you won’t hesitate to kill him.

Leon mourned for Raidra to that extent.

‘He might still be alive.’

Inside Lydra’s subspace pocket, the first thing that was found was a blue patterned symbol.

This seemed to be a sign indicating the top position of Widia.

However, it had no other magical functions like the mark of a black magician.

Besides that, there are three magic books.

[Ridra’s current surge]

[Ridra’s Glorious Lightning Strike]

[Ridra’s Heavenly Judgement]

It was all lightning magic.

‘You won’t only use lightning magic, right?’

The last time Leon saw Lydra fighting the Warlock, he was using wind, water, and lightning magic simultaneously.

Although he used multi-attribute magic, the magic book he wrote himself seemed to be specialized in lightning magic.

Since he was someone who was passionate about training, it may not have been long since he linked up with multi-attribute magic.

There probably wasn’t enough time to make it into a magic book.

It’s a shame, but there was nothing I could do.

‘The lightning of glory is familiar… … .’

Leon looked through the book carefully.

The surge of current was the basic magic.

Another one was the glorious lightning spell that Leon also knew… … and the last one was a higher-level lightning spell.

Lightning of Glory is a superior magic of Surge of Current, and Judgement of Heaven is a superior magic of Lightning of Glory.

‘Because Rider was in the early stages of insight… … .’

The Heavenly Judgement will have a grade of at least B to B+.

Let’s take a quick look at the content. As expected, it even covers great magic.

The name of the great magic was the same as the name in the magic book, Judgement of the Heavens.

If the Lightning Strike of Glory was a magic that caused lightning to strike down like crazy over a certain area, the Judgement of the Heavens was a magic that caused a huge pillar of lightning to strike down from the sky, scorching a wide area.

It was a great magic comparable to a natural disaster.

‘Electric properties should be fine up to Insight Beginner.’

Since it was such an aggressive magic, it seemed like Leon would use it as his main magic until he could create a new magic.

The other artifact is the Lightning Chain.

It was an artifact that looked more like a torture device that would shock you with electricity whenever you raised your magic power by filling the blue shackles.

And three B-class essences and various magic materials.

It contained several herbs and minerals that Leon did not yet know about.

I kept the magical ingredients that I didn’t know about because I didn’t have enough knowledge yet on one side.

Anyway, 70,000 mana stones were created in Leon’s hands.

‘Is this a lot?’

I remember that an F-grade essence was exchanged for 50 mana stones, and an E-grade essence was exchanged for about 350 mana stones.

If you think that as the level of the integer goes up, the value jumps by a factor of 7… … .

‘That’s not enough money to buy 5 C-class essences?’

I was confused as to whether the essence was expensive or whether 70,000 mana stones were not a lot of money for a high-ranking magician.

‘There’s no way around it since there are no mana stones in Rider’s pocket.’

And the reason I needed the mana stones right away was to make a golem core, so it didn’t really matter.

***

Leon’s skill at creating scorpion golems improved with each passing day.

Now, I can successfully engrave the pattern into the core once out of five attempts.

Since there are close to 100 body materials, there was no need to separately carve mana circuits into minerals to create parts.

All I had to do was insert the core.

When the discarded mana stones exceeded 500, 100 cores were created.

New cores were inserted into all 100 bodies of the scorpion golems.

“What is all this?”

“Scout.”

The 80 scorpion golems gave a simple command.

The orders were to patrol the area around Kito’s Lair and report anything suspicious.

Leon could immediately tell by looking at it, almost like telepathy.

The remaining 20 were activated so that they would only work when Leon wanted them to.

Since I haven’t had any use for it yet, I just kept it in my wallet.

The really great benefits of the magic of the Secret of Creation were twofold.

The core has strong staying power once charged.

And that you can control dozens or even hundreds of golems at a time.

If it weren’t for the Secret of Creation, it would take one Thread of Will to control a single golem.

The number of golems that can be controlled at once in 1 star is 10.

Although he had created 20 units just in case, Leon, who had not yet surpassed level 1, could only control 10 units.

The rest all moved on simple orders.

“… .”

“… .”

The swarming scorpion golems and the winged vipers that originally followed Felix’s orders around Kito Lair looked at each other.

It was as if they were waging a war of nerves, with no one taking their eyes off each other.

Warning signals began to flash frantically through Leon’s head.

The pre-order was to send a signal when a stranger was seen.

Leon looked at the scorpion golem with satisfaction, then took it back and added the viper to his boundary exclusion list.

The core that goes into the armor knight wasn’t much different from the scorpion golem.

The armor knight’s body was gathered from the ancient rare’s manufacturing room, and there were over 100 of these.

There were 30 gargoyle golems.

Gargoyle golems could be made to use magic, and the patterns engraved on their cores became much more elaborate.

The magic that the Gargoyle Golem uses is a C+ grade wind attribute magic, Whirlwind.

This is quite complicated, so I didn’t master it until I had consumed 1000 mana stones.

‘At this rate, I’m really going to end up spending a year here.’

Of course, the secret to creation is also magic, so the training quest progressed, but Leon stopped further production when he successfully created the first core of the Gargoyle Golem.

Now it was time to start looking into runes and think about the 300th reward that was just around the corner.

Leon was thinking of getting another magic book.

If an SSS-grade item appeared, it was likely to follow the structure of a magical formula made up of runes.

“Kito, let’s go.”

Kito popped out from inside the jewel.

Kito could now come and go from the jewel at will.

Could it be because he thought Leon would feel reassured?

That’s what happened after I signed the contract with the servant horse.

Kito, lying on top of Leon’s head, asked Felix, who had come out to greet him.

“Will you follow me?”

“No, you know my goal, right, Sister.”

“What, that ignorant goal of conquering the Forest of Demons?”

“You know it’s important to me. It’s my long-cherished wish.”

“Suk-won… is always slacking off… … .”

Leon interrupted Kito.

“Tell me if you need help.”

Leon said sincerely.

Thanks to Felix, I was able to solve my food problem and also received great help with my training.

Leon felt grateful to Felix.

Felix must have felt it too, as he cleared his throat awkwardly.

“Ahem, I wonder if there will ever come a day when I will receive help from a brat.”

“Who are you calling a brat?”

“Ah, Sister. Please be considerate of my last greeting.”

One of Felix’s heads opened its mouth towards Leon.

A green bead popped out of his mouth.

“If you have this, I can tell you where you are. I can tell you when you’re in danger.”

Leon was familiar with it, having seen many artifacts with similar abilities.

Among the items that teachers usually give to their students, there were many artifacts with this function.

“At least until you get out of the forest, you can tell if it’s dangerous or not. Once you get out of the forest, you can abandon it.”

“Thank you.”

After saying hello to Felix, I left the area.

Leon was walking back the way he came, and there was a gargoyle golem wandering around him.

It was the only gargoyle golem Leon ever created.

The gargoyle golem was ordered to guard Leon’s surroundings.

While flying at such high speed.

Suddenly, Kito emerged from above his head and his body began to grow larger.

Kito, who had transformed into his real body in an instant, looked forward and revealed his sharp teeth.

Leon turned his head to where Kito was looking.

A woman with long black hair approached and stopped.

Leon didn’t even notice her approaching.

Leon looked at her and closed his eyes for a moment.

But the reality before my eyes remained unchanged.

The reality is that the Witch of Destruction is staring at Leon.

She muttered a word softly.

“Found.”
