Chapter 503: Farewell, brother Iasiah... (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
At this moment, it is a very clear sight for Leo to see that despite falling into the vine trap, the Treasure Beetles were actually still able to fight back and escape using their Element Power.
There's practically a lot of evidence of the battle between the Elementals and Treasure Beetles scattered around the ground, such as vines, stone spikes, and broken trees.
And just by basing on the fact alone that Chief Lago and Iasiah had decided to help, it's very easy to understand that it's because the Elementals were going to lose the battle.
Realizing this, Leo felt a bit disappointed in himself. Even though that trap that he had meticulously prepared was very good, it's still considered as a failure basing on the end result shown to everyone. He actually didn't forget to consider the Element Power of the Treasure Beetles, it's just that he thought that his Elementals would be able to handle them easily, just like almost every time.
It isn't really that bad though, since now he has learned a considerable amount of knowledge about fighting against Magical Beasts that knows how to use Element Power after this battle. He understood that his mistake right now is mainly because he wasn't really that much experienced yet when it comes to such kind of Magical Beast. The next time, he'd be sure not to make the same mistake again.
Whoooosh!
A powerful gush of wind suddenly shoots out from the hands of Iasiah straight towards the direction of the Treasure Beetle who was creeping behind Leo after escaping from the Magic Net.
Tud!
The Treasure Beetle immediately lost consciousness
Or maybe after this time...
”That was really close,” Iasiah said in concern. Fortunately, he was quick enough to notice the Treasure Beetle who Mister Loki had thought he had defeated before, trying to launch an attack on him from behind.
”Thank you,” Leo expressed his gratefulness to Iasiah for saving him.
”Not a problem,” Iasiah said with a smile.
”Anyways, let's continue bringing more Treasure Beetles here,” Leo quickly decided to continue with what they were planning to do.
Out of Leo's expectations though, Chief Lago shook his head before explaining, ”There's no need. We have already killed plenty of Treasure Beetles before coming here,”
”No worries though, we made sure to not leave a trace and only use Wind Element attack,” Iasiah added.
”But where are the Treasure Beetle's carcasses?” Leo asked dubiously.
”Inside our Storage Rings,” Chief Lago replied.
Leo quickly understood what Chief Lago was aiming to do. They just simply choose to kill the Treasure Beetles using Wind Element Magic spells then store them inside their Storage Rings and they would then transfer the Treasure Beetle's carcasses nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree later on. Such a simple plan is indeed very possible as well, aside from their main plan of trapping the Treasure Beetles. Though only if they can execute it without leaving any traces behind.
That was the main reason why they didn't proceed with this plan before. But since they were able to execute it cleanly, then there's no problem.
”Okay... But are you really sure that it's enough?” Leo asked another question, still dubious about what the two were saying.
”Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that the Treasure Beetles that we have killed are actually 5 Star to 7 Star Treasure Beetles. So there is no need to worry whether they will be enraged or not because they would definitely-” Chief Lago wasn't able to finish what he was saying as he was interrupted by something.
ROAAAAAARRRRRR!
A really loud roaring sound that came from the Treasure Beetle Mountain was suddenly heard.
”And speak of the devil,” Chief Lago said. That sound had definitely come from the Leader of the Treasure Beetle tribe, specifically the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle.
”So the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is already enraged? But what about these Treasure Beetles, are we just going to leave them here?” Leo pointed at the unconscious Treasure Beetles around them.
Right now, he finally understood that the only reason why Chief Lago and Iasiah bothered bringing to him a batch of Treasure Beetles was simply to grant him of his intention of experiencing a fight against some Treasure Beetles.
He really appreciates their intention...
