After enough time passes and numerous checks by Elvis of the whereabouts of the Treasure Beetles to confirm that they're really gone, Charlotte finally opened up the cave.

"Let's go," Charlotte said before leading the way.

Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale quickly followed after.

Along the way to meet up with Leo, who was at the Phoenix Taming Tower right now, Charlotte began explaining to Chief Lago and Iasiah her plan in mind about catching the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. She decided to tell them everything without hiding any information.

Charlotte's plan was very simple; she would ask for Leo to use his Earth Elementals to dig a tunnel from the surface straight towards the direction of where they have found the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. She already knew where it was, so there is no need to worry about locating that nest anymore.

Then, they will sneak through that tunnel instead of going through the tunnel around the Treasure Beetle Mountain. This would allow them to easily avoid from the Treasure Beetles living inside the Treasure Beetle Mountain and have an easy travel both in and out.

Once they arrived inside, they would then defeat the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle as swiftly as possible, put it inside a cage, bring it up to the surface through the tunnel, close the tunnel, and quickly escape away from this place.

Of course, this is just the general layout of the plan, not the entirety of the plan yet.

This is simply because they still need to see the situation on the battlefield between the Treasure Beetles against the Storm Sparrows first before they could decide on whether the plan could be executed or not.

If it's really impossible, then they'll just settle on capturing a 9 Star level Magical Beasts, either from the Treasure Beetle tribe or the Storm Sparrow tribe, and then leave this place.

But before that, they'll have to discuss it with Leo first, because, in the end, the final decision would entirely be up to him to decide, considering how important this decision they're planning about is.

The moment they arrived at the Phoenix Taming Tower, they quickly found Leo.

Leo was currently surrounded by a total of 15 Earth Elementals in the center while in deep cultivation.

But unlike before, Leo's Earth Elementals surprisingly look different this time. They look more tougher and stronger, and the Magic Power they are currently releasing is of the 1 Star level.

"It seems like something good had happened to him while we were gone away," Charlotte said with a smile on her face. She's genuinely happy seeing that Leo's strength had improved.

"Indeed," Chief Lago added while also feeling the same as Charlotte. With Leo becoming stronger, their Mischievous Lion Guild would also become stronger.

Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale also nodded their heads as they also noticed the improvements of Mister Loki's Earth Elementals.

Honestly, when they first discovered Mister Loki's unique capability to summon Elementals, they instantly felt disbelief about it. After all, such Magical Entities were something that almost everyone in the Celestial World feared. But they were informed that he's a Special Mage that's why he is able to do this.

After that, they slowly accepted the truth of how great Mister Loki's potential was, which also made them realized the importance of his Elementals in the growth of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

To explain it in the most simplest way possible, the more powerful Mister Loki's Elementals become, likewise the more powerful the Mischievous Lion Guild would become in the future.

Seeing this, Charlotte and the others decided not to disturb Leo and simply choose a spot nearby to rest. They just realize now that their bodies were a bit exhausted already after doing a lot of things. Not to mention, they're also starting to get hungry. So, it should be best to rest and recuperate before executing any of what they are planning to do.

.....

At this moment, Leo is currently inside his consciousness while guiding the Fire Element Mana that he had just absorbed from the Fire Element Magical resources he has inside his Storage Ring towards the light of his Fireball spell.

As he had nothing else to do since Charlotte and the others were busy taking care of capturing a 9 Star level Magical Beasts, he decided that he might as well spend this free time to cultivate and increase his strength.

The main reason why he was currently guiding the Fire Element Mana that he had absorbed to his Fireball spell despite it already reaching the 1 Star level is because he wanted his Magic spells to reach the 2 Star level.

Honestly, he was just testing the feasibility of such an idea a few hours ago. At that time, he was simply trying to make his Magic spells have a strength of peak 1 Star level. But then suddenly, he thought that maybe it was actually possible to make its breakthrough to the 2 Star level.

And just like that, he was able to make his Green Terrain spell, Earth Spike spell, Vine spell, and Water Jet spell breakthrough to the 2 Star level.

Along with those breakthroughs, he surprisingly found out that his Elementals had actually also finally broken through to the 1 Star level, specifically his Earth Elementals, Nature Elementals, and Water Elementals.

As of now, he's also trying to breakthrough his Fireball spell to the 2 Star level in order for his Fire Elementals to likewise breakthrough to the 1 Star level.

Unfortunately, because he hasn't learned any Wind Element Magic spells yet, his Wind Elementals could only stay as of now at the peak No Star level.

At least though, because he has learned two types of Nature Element Magic spells, his Nature Elementals had the Magic Power of an intermediate 1 Star level.

This discovery made him realized that it's actually not mainly his cultivation level that allows his Elementals to breakthrough, but also the Magic Power of his Magic spells as well.

If he learns more Magic spells of a certain element, like for example Fire Element Magic spells, then allowing his Fire Elementals to breakthrough to the next cultivation level would be a lot easier.

Right now, since he had only learned one type of Magic spells on the majority of his Elements, that's why to allow his Elementals to breakthrough to the next level he needed to make his Magic spells reached the 2 Star level.

He finally understood today that the importance of learning more Magic spells is not to only provide him with more ways to fight and become stronger as an individual but to also improve the Magic Power of his Elementals.

With this new knowledge he had learned, making his Elementals reach the 2 Star and so on in the future wouldn't be as difficult as what he's currently experiencing this time anymore.

What's even more shocking and important that he had learned today is he could actually still continue allowing his Magic spells to breakthrough to the 3 Star level, and maybe even higher, as long as he has enough Magical resources to get the supply of Element Mana that he needed for the breakthrough.

His cultivation is really unlike the other Mages. For them, the highest level that their Magic spells could reach with a 1 Star cultivation level would always just be peak 1 Star level. Those Mages considered as Geniuses might be able to have their Magic spells breakthrough to the 2 Star level despite being only in the 1 Star level. But he, on the other hand, could actually improve it even more than that.

He really doesn't know the main reason for this, but his suspicion is it's either because of his unique Star in his consciousness or because of the Fate Cube. But considering the information he knew about the two, then the cause should most likely be because of his unique Star. He's not one hundred percent sure yet, but he decided that he'll be studying this once he has the time. Anyways, whatever the cause is, it still meant a good thing for him nonetheless.

As soon as all the Fire Element Mana was absorbed by the Fireball spell, its light soon after becomes a lot more brighter and bigger.

Looking at all the lights of the Magic spells he had learned, Leo can't help smiling in delight. If before the light of his Magic spells were only similar to the light from fireflies, then now it was as big as a fireball, implying that its Magic Power has increased by a considerable amount.

Along with the breakthrough of the Fireball spell to the 2 Star level, he soon felt a powerful surge of Fire Element Mana suddenly erupting from somewhere inside of him, which for certain is the Fate Cube. His body started becoming hot, as if he was being burned alive.

This feeling was the same as what he had felt before when the Earth Elementals, Nature Elementals, and Water Elementals broke through to the 1 Star level, specifically he started feeling that he was carrying something very heavy during the breakthrough of the Earth Elementals, some plants grew around him during the breakthrough of the Nature Elementals, and he was drenched in water during the breakthrough of the Water Elementals.

Soon, the burning feeling inside of him started becoming weaker and weaker, until eventually, it disappeared, marking that the Fire Elementals has finally broken through to the 1 Star level.
