It wasn't necessary, but after luring one Kraken, Leon helped his zombie Kraken to speed up the end of the battle. Darya didn't have any magic items; in fact, she was stronger than Leon without any magic items, and while her skills were still at a low-level... Still, Leon decided to create some magic items to keep her safe in case something happens. However... the moment Leon tried to seal the spirit of a Kraken on a steel ring, the ring started to burn and then exploded.
"What the heck..." Leon frowned.
Leon suffered no damage since his Mana Armor was always active, but he lost a lot of mana, and that scared the crap out of him. When the ring exploded, the mana within the Kraken spirit also dispersed. So, he had to find another one. However, when he tried to create a magic staff with the soul of another monster... it exploded again.
"I guess I finally reached the limit of magic items I can create using steel weapons."
