Chapter 230: Mischievous Lion organization’s Headquarters (1/2)
After breaking up the fight between Levi and the Void Eater which they have now named the Void Eater as Vox, Leo and the others quickly resumed the journey to the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters.
Every single second was important for them right now, so staying any longer just to see a Magical Beast fight would be so stupid of them.
With the help of Levi and Vox, they were able to easily avoid many stampedes and ambushes. No Star Magical Beast to 2 Star Magical Beast also doesn't dare to casually approach them anymore because of the two little ones, adding to the fray Charlotte who has now finally decided to release her 9 Star Battle Mage Magic Power since it's now the last stretch for them to arrive at the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters.
.....
After a few hours, Leo and the others finally arrived in a place circled by the tallest hill they have ever seen in the Hundred Hills territory.
There were a total of 8 tall hills circling around something in the middle. Looking around the surrounding, they soon found out that there were actually no noticeable paths in between the 8 hills, it was like the 8 hills were connected with one another.
Leo motioned his hand to stop everyone in front of the middle part of the hill as he said, ”We have already arrived, the only thing we need to worry now is what kind of challenge we need to complete in order for us to be granted an entry.”
”What? There is still a challenge before getting inside?” Ahmed was dumbfounded after hearing about their being a challenge.
”I forgot to tell you...” Leo scratched his head awkwardly, ”Anyways, as long as a few of us successfully pass this challenge, all of us would immediately be granted an entry to the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters. But, don't think of giving up immediately the moment you enter and just simply letting the strongest carry us because experiencing this challenge is still a lot worth it.”
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding before heaving a sigh of relief. With such a mechanic, the majority of them don't need to worry about not passing or not anymore.
Also, the majority of them, specifically Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, and Number 1 to Number 10, we're really afraid of losing and not be granted an entry, especially since we're also the weakest amongst the group so it's still a question whether they can really pass the test or not.
They were thinking in their minds that what would they do next if they don't pass?
Although they can simply wait for Leo to finish his business inside, that would also mean that they need to survive outside of the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters until he finally finishes that said business. After all, there are Magical Beast that is even much more powerful than those Vinetop Moss they have met before that lives around the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, so being left outside would be the same as being left inside a cage surrounded by powerful Magical Beast.
*Cringggkkk!
Soon after, an inconspicuous door slowly opened and revealing behind were 3 people covered entirely with black clothes.
”Leo?” One of the black-clothed people asked before slowly removing the cover to his face to everyone.
”Blaze?” Leo asked in surprise. He really didn't expect to see Blaze here.
Blaze was one of the leaders of the Burning Lion faction back at Silver Mage Academy. If he's here, then that also means his other brothers are those other 2 people beside him.
”Oh, oh, oh, it's actually Leo!” Haze hurriedly approaches.
”I didn't expect that you would first come to visit the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters after finally coming back from your 10-day trip. Queen Olivia would definitely feel heartbroken because her favorite discipline didn't visit her first, hahahaha!” Glaze said with a laugh.
Turning his head behind Leo, Blaze then asked, ”Who are they new recruits?”
”Don't worry, they're my men.” Leo replied.
”What?!” Haze was immediately dumbfounded after he observed Charlotte. At first, he was only curious about who this beautiful girl is and so he started observing her, but as soon as he felt the Magic Power surrounding around her, he was immediately shocked beyond belief because he found out that she's actually in the 9 Star level. He continued, ”You meant this 9 Star woman is one of your men?”
”What do...” Glaze doesn't really want to believe Haze, but as soon as he observes Charlotte personally, he quickly shut his mouth because Haze was actually telling the truth.
”Why are you both causing such a loud ruckus over there?” Blaze was soon attracted to Haze and Glaze behind Leo. He then saw Haze pointing his finger at Charlotte, so he turned his head to look at her.
After finding out that Charlotte is actually in the 9 Star level, Blaze quickly began observing the others thinking that they might be at a similar level as her.
Fortunately, they weren't the same as Charlotte's cultivation, causing Blaze to breathe a sigh of relief. If they were all 9 Star level, then Gemini Dagger George, the person he was loyal to, would definitely not stand any chance against Leo anymore.
”By the way, why are the three of you in here? Shouldn't you be with my senior brother George at the Southwest Fortress?” Leo curiously asked. Blaze, Haze, and Glaze were actually people who had swore loyalty to George, so they should be with him right now not in the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, especially since the war right now really requires the 12 Zodiacs and their men to always be prepared and active.
”We have just escaped from the Silver Mage Academy, so we are currently resting in the headquarters and would only be going to the Southern Fortress to meet up with Young Master George next week.” Blaze explained.
