BOOOOOM!
The Savage Fox dropped dead on the ground as its brain was prated by the hilt of the sword and the broken sharp de of it.
General Luke slowly stepped out of the small cage with a wide grin on his face to celebrate his great triumph. He turned to look at Leo and the others outside before showing them an okay sign with his hands.
"What a great performance, General Luke," Darvis said as soon as General Luke left the training room.
"It wasn''t really that hard," General Luke shrugged his shoulder, he turned to look at Iasiah with a proud look on his face as he said, "So, do you take your words back now?"
Hearing General Luke''s question, Iasiah simply rolled his eyes and replied, "What are you so proud of? That you killed a 1-Star Savage Fox using the physical strength of a 6-Star Mage? If that is indeed what you are proud of, then it seems like I have overestimated you, General Luke,"
"What do you mean?!" General Luke was immediately annoyed at Iasiah''s mocking remarks.
Iasiah didn''t bother defending himself against General Luke as he instantly walked away with Nightingale. They still need to finish the investigation of the cause of the sudden savage behavior of those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows with Ejah, so he can''t waste any more of his precious time having a senseless argument here.
Seeing Iasiah leave, General Luke sneered as he said, "What a cowardly person. He doesn''t even dare to admit that he was mistaken even after seeing the proof in front of him,"
"Actually," Elmont can''t help but interrupt, he continued, "I also quite agree with what Iasiah had said just now, General Luke. You see, you are a 6-Star Mage, and although you can''t use Magic spells anymore, your body is still unarguably more powerfulpared to a mere 1-Star Savage Fox,"
"Indeed," Leo nodded his head in agreement to Elmont as he then exined further, "General Luke, I take it that you should have already noticed that the purpose of this Death''s Cage from the very beginning was to supposedly make you fight against a Magical Beast one or two levels higher than you while being confined in a small cage that greatly restricted your maneuverability. But the situation you have experienced just now was far different from that, of course aside from the fact that you were still inside a small cage,"
"You might be akin to an ordinary person in terms of not being able to use magic spells. But, simr to what Brother Elmont had said just now, your body is still of those of a 6-Star Mage, giving you a huge advantage in your fight against a 1-Star Savage Fox,"
"If you were only fighting against a 5-Star Savage Fox inside the Death''s Cage instead, then the Death''s Cage could have still served its purpose. But unfortunately, you weren''t, so what you have just done is akin to putting up a show for entertaining some audience, which in this case, were us," Leo paused as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile. He continued, "By the way, as much as I hate breaking this to you, but when Ipleted the Death''s Cage in the past, I was merely a No-Star Mage with less than 10 years of age. Just with my age alone, a Magical Beast is already considered as something that almost all of my peers don''t even dare to get close to. Not to mention, my physical strength is only slightly better to those of an infant when beingpared to a Magical Beast,"
Honestly, he wasn''t really nning to say that line to General Luke. But since thetter dared to insult Iasiah just now, who is one of his trusted men and an Executive of the Mischievous Lion Guild as well, he thought, "Consider this as an eye for an eye,"
Hearing Leo''sst line, Elmont and Darvis were unable to hold back theirughter.
General Luke could only choose to smile wryly after finally understanding how ridiculous his words were. Indeed, even though he wasn''t able to use any of his Magic spells, his physical strength whenpared to a mere 1-Star Savage Fox was nothing to be proud of.
Elmont patted General Luke''s shoulder and said, "You can still try next time, so no need to take it to heart,"
"That''s why I said, ''what a great performance''," Darvis continuedughing without caring about how General Luke felt deep inside. Anyways, thetter really can''t me him forughing at his misfortune. After all, he was the one who did it to himself. If only he didn''t act so arrogant and prideful in front of Iasiah, then he could have at least kept on indulging in the feeling of sessfully beating Death''s Cage.
"Anyways, since we are already done with everything noteworthy to see here, then let''s go back to the surface and begin touring the Smiling Lion Vige," Leo said as he then began leading everyone towards the exit of this underground facility.
Elmont, General Luke, and Darvis closely followed behind Leo.
They soon went back inside to the small room, which they now knew was called an elevator, that they have entered before arriving in this ce. The elevator went up and brought them back to the surface.
"The Smiling Lion Vige doesn''t really have that much to offer," Leo began the tour, he continued, "We have a ce called the Entertainment Center, which consists of a tavern, betting house, and an arena,"
Hearing the word ''Arena'', Elmont''s face immediately lit up as he said, "Let''s go there first!"
Leo shook his head and replied, "I can''t take you there yet, the arena should be our final destination. We will first visit the residential area, then to Craftsman Street, followed after by the Craftsman Training Center, the Library, and the Public Market. Once we are finished with that, we will then go to the Entertainment Center to enjoy ourselves before finally ending the tour, does any of you have any concerns about my n?"
Although Elmont really can''t wait to go to the arena, he still nodded his head and epted Leo''s n. He is merely the visitor today, so he obviously can''t go against the host. Anyways, they would still be going there at the end of the day. So, his wish would still get fulfilled.
It wasn''t only Elmont who can''t wait to go to the arena, General Luke was feeling the same as well. After receiving such a strong blow just a while ago, he is now looking for a ce to release all of his pent-up frustration.
Contrary to both Elmont and General Luke, Darvis instantly beamed in delight after hearing the mention of the Craftsman Street and the Craftsman Training Center. As a cksmith, such ces were like the arena or training grounds for Elmont. He can''t wait to go there soon!
Arriving at the location of the residential area, Leo introduced to them the living quarters of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, which are all manors, though they were smallerpared to his. Well, after all, he is the Guild Leader, so there is nothing wrong with giving the best to him.
As a member of the Evergreen royal family, Elmont only nodded his head in appreciation after seeing the manors.
Meanwhile though, both General Luke and Darvis cried in admiration and envy as the treatment of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild was much better than their own.
"Howe the treatment of a Guild to their members when beingpared to working in the royal family so far apart from each other? Here, they get their own personal manors, while as one of the Generals of the Evergreen royal family, I''m only getting a room slightly betterpared to the ordinary soldiers in the barracks?" General Luke expressed his thoughts.
"Although my situation is much better than yours, having a manor is still much betterpared to just having a simple room. At least in a manor, I don''t have to worry about my privacy and could have my own personal smiting ce where no one can disturb me," Darvis said while imagining the feeling of having his own manor.
"It seems like I have to inform father about giving our people afortable ce to stay, or else Guilds like the Mischievous Lion Guild would be able to easily snatch our people away from us, hahaha!" Elmont said with a chuckle.
"Such a problem is not really worthwhile for the Evergreen royal family to be concern about. The truth is, the only reason why Guilds like us offer such afortable ce to live is because that''s one of the only method we could use topete against what royal families like the Evergreen royal family could offer to their own people," Leo shook his head.
With a good living condition or not, the people working in the Evergreen royal family are undoubtedly still receiving much better benefitspared to what Guilds could offer.
They don''t have to worry about Magical resources since there are a lot of people more than willing to establish a business rtionship with them while offering a really low price for their products.
They can provide better equipment and other simr items because they have Royal Craftsman which only a talented Craftsman could apply, like Darvis.
And most importantly, which is what Guilds could never offer to their members, is that they can give statuses like Barons, Viscounts, and higher to those people that can perform really well.
Only organizations such as the Sword and Magic organization and the Elves Secret organization have the capability to offer simr benefits to royal families.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, the Mischievous Lion Guild could still notpete with better benefits against royal families.
However, such a situation would not be for long.. Once the Mischievous Lion Guild finished with the first phase of their ns, they will no longer worry about such a problem anymore.
