Leo was immediately dumbfounded the moment he sees his own Mana turning into a Chaos Mana before quickly replacing all the Chaos Mana inside the Chaos stone.

He really doesn't know what had just happened, but he was sure that this is the doing of the Red Cube, as he had noticed a small string of Mana connecting from his own hand to the Chaos stone. This string only appeared for a half-second though before it suddenly disappeared, seemingly as if it had never existed in the first place. If other people saw that, they would have definitely assumed that their eyes were just playing with them. But he was obviously different from the others because he knows about the Red Cube that had merged with his own consciousness.

"Did anything happen?" A person who replaced the table at the side of Leo asked when he saw Leo's strange look on his face.

Leo quickly pulled himself together as he turned to look at that person and said an excuse, "Nothing happened, I was just dumbfounded by the strength of this Chaos stone."

"Oh, let me take a look," Without bothering to wait for Leo to reply, that person swiftly snatched the Chaos stone from Leo's hand. The moment he runs his Mana inside the Chaos stone, his face then became those of astonishment, "The Chaos Mana in here is indeed different from the others, it's almost of medium quality, lucky!"

Leo almost thought of killing this person before the latter could notice something strange in the Chaos stone. Fortunately, it seems like the Chaos Mana now is not that different from the Chaos Mana awhile ago, aside from the fact that it's much more powerful.

That person then returned the Chaos stone back in Leo's hand before he returned to his own task.

Seeing this, Leo quickly understood what this person had just done. It was obvious that the latter just wanted to confirm whether he was lying or not, and if he was indeed discovered to be lying, he would immediately report this finding to their Captain. He can't help but thought, "The people here are surprisingly really cautious..."

What Leo had assumed was indeed correct. Unlike the people of Black organization that he had encountered in the past, the people assigned over here were a group of elites. They were specifically assigned here in order to assure that this mission will be completed.

Since the Chaos stone was already returned in his hand, Leo could only shake his head before putting it back in the box. He then grabbed another one before repeating the same step. This time, he combined step 1 and step 2 together, specifically while he's faking his check on the Chaos stone's surface, he also runs his own Mana inside.

What happened in the first Chaos stone repeated again in the second Chaos stone. This time, however, Leo didn't show a dumbfounded face anymore. If he shows that kind of face once again, then he won't be able to study what had just happened to the Chaos stone because he needed to quickly put the Chaos stone back in the box after confirming the strength of the Chaos Mana in order to avoid raising suspicion from this cautious person at his side.

While observing the Chaos stone with his own Chaos Mana inside, Leo quickly noticed that he could actually control the Chaos Mana, as in he can literally control the Chaos Mana to do anything he wishes for it to do, including detonating this Chaos stone or moving the Chaos Mana from any places he wanted, specifically the inside of the Chaos stone and shockingly also the outside.

Leo can't help smiling behind the cloth covering his face. With this shocking discovery, he can now eliminate the Chaos stone that has his own Chaos Mana inside from exploding, which would minimize the damage the Lesser Chaos Magic Array could cause once activated.

After finishing with his observation, Leo acted like he runs his own Mana inside the Chaos stone to test its strength. He then nodded his head before putting it back in the box to grab another Chaos stone.

However, completely out of his expectations, all the Chaos stones inside the box have actually been infected. More precisely, all the Chaos Mana inside the remaining 3 Chaos stones now contain his own Chaos Mana.

This time, Leo formed a mischievous smile on his face as he thought of the greatest idea ever. At first, he thought that he could only minimize the damage the Lesser Chaos Magic Array could cause due to the Chaos stones that would contain his own Chaos Mana, but with this even more shocking discovery, he could now completely eliminate the threat the Lesser Chaos Magic Array could cause. Once he puts these Chaos stones that contain his own Chaos Mana inside to the pile of normal Chaos stones, then they would all soon after be infected, resulting in him having complete control of the Lesser Chaos Magic Array.

Without wasting any more second, Leo quickly began acting with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Chaos stones, before he finally stood up and walked towards the entrance of another cave.

The moment he got inside, he immediately saw more than 100 Chaos stones being piled up like a tiny hill. He also saw those people setting up the formation, busying themselves in completing the Lesser Chaos Magic Array as quickly as possible.

He didn't continue minding them as he walked forward. The moment he arrived at the tiny hill of Chaos stones, he then carefully put the 5 Chaos stones in the pile. And just like what he had expected, the Chaos Mana from those 5 Chaos stones spread through the normal Chaos stones, and shockingly it was at a really fast rate.

Before Leo could leave the cave, all the Chaos stones inside had already been infected, including those Chaos stones that have already been added to the formation of the so-called Lesser Chaos Magic Array.

"I didn't expect I could eliminate such threat this easily..." Leo thought to himself. This help of the Red Cube was something that he had never known actually exist. In fact, this is the first time he had discovered that the Red Cube has this kind of ability.

In just a few seconds of thinking, he easily connected it to the Red Cube's ability to manipulate Mana, just like how it could consume all the Pure Mana inside a Mana stone and transform it into his own compatibility. Simply put, what happened to those Chaos Mana inside the Chaos stones is that it has been transformed into his own compatibility. If he really wants to, he could easily consume all those Chaos Mana to himself to aid his cultivation.

The reason for this happening should be because of him putting his own Mana inside the Chaos stone. Usually, when he consumes the Pure Mana from the Mana stones, he would first allow the Red Cube to completely absorb all of its Pure Mana, then the process of turning it into his own compatibility would soon follow after, and once this finishes he could do anything he wishes with the Mana. However, what he had done in the Chaos stones was he had put a strand of his own Mana inside, which is obviously connected to the Red Cube in his consciousness. This then seemingly signaled the Red Cube to begin converting the Chaos Mana into his own compatibility inside the Chaos stone, instead of the countless Magic circles that will form on his right hand.

This discovery doesn't only helped him in his current problem right now, this also serves as his new knowledge about the abilities of the Red Cube. With this, he now has another way of absorbing Magical resources. And this newly discovered way seems to be a lot faster than what he has been doing in the past.

The moment Leo got out of the cave, he didn't continue delivering on Chaos stones anymore, but rather he went to look for where Cassandra and Charlotte were at. He needs to tell them that they can now leave this place as he has already eliminated the Black organization's threat.

With how familiar Leo was already with Cassandra and Charlotte, it only took him a few minutes to find them. He didn't use any sophisticated method to find them as he simply locates them using their eyes, the easiest and simplest way to identify someone who is covering their face with a cloth.

He quickly bought them back to the tent where they have buried the dead bodies underneath. Fortunately, this place was still empty, though there were traces of it being used just a few minutes ago, which he didn't really care that much about because they obviously didn't discover the dead bodies they have buried underneath based on the lack of traces of the ground being dug.

"Is there something wrong?" Cassandra quickly asked.

"We can't waste any more time, I've listened to the Captain's conversation just a moment ago, and they are now starting to suspect why there are still no reports coming from the guards at the entrance. If we still can't find who has the button once the Captain finally decides to send people to investigate the entrance, we would have no choice anymore but to also leave this place in order to not be discovered." Charlotte informed.

"We don't need to look for that person." Leo said as he shook his head.

Hearing this, Cassandra and Charlotte said at the same time, "Did you already locate him?"

"I noticed you getting inside the cave, so I'm assuming that that person is inside, right? I'm guessing he's the one setting up the Lesser Chaos Magic Array." Cassandra assumed.

"That's indeed most likely the situation which is why Leo went to find us because he can't kill that person who has the button easily." Charlotte nodded her head in agreement.

Leo simply shook his head once again as he pointed at himself.

"What are you doing?" Cassandra and Charlotte asked at the same time.

"I'm simply saying, I now have the button to activate the Lesser Chaos Magic Array. So, there is no need for us anymore to locate that person because that person is now standing right in front of you,�� Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face.

Although the cloth had blocked the mischievous smile, Cassandra and Charlotte still noticed the slight movement of the location of the mouth behind the cloth, which made them quickly understood that Leo was being serious.

"How?" Was the question that immediately pop-up in Cassandra and Charlotte's mind. They really wanted to ask this question, but they quickly noticed that someone is currently walking towards them, prompting them to begin acting like they are doing something else.

The moment that person arrived, he said, "Captain noticed that only the three of you were doing nothing, hence he wanted me to inform all of you to investigate the situation at the entrance of the cave. Report your findings as quickly as possible."

Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte don't know whether they should laugh or not after hearing this. Just when they were planning to escape, the Captain of the Black organization actually presented them with the perfect chance. Obviously, the Captain wasn't a traitor, this was most likely a coincidence.

"That's all?" Leo asked.

"That's all!" That person replied before turning around and walking away from them.

Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte looked at each other's eyes. They quickly understood what each of them wanted to do.

Without any hesitation, Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte left the camp to go to the entrance.
