Hearing Leo's words, Charlotte and the others were immediately sent into deep contemplation.
Basing on what Leo had just said, this Consciousness Labyrinth is the most dangerous training ever created in the Mischievous Lion organization's Training Ground. So, they should not just casually accept it as it might cost them their lives.
Seeing them thinking about it seriously, Leo turned to look at Blaze as he asked, "Do we really need to complete this challenge? With the difficulty of this challenge, only the 12 Zodiacs would be able to earn the right of entry, so there should be some consideration, right?"
"There is indeed a consideration, the Vice-president had specifically given them in case the person trying to earn the right of entry are members of the 12 Zodiacs." Blaze replied.
"Tch, at least that guy had done something correctly once in his life." Leo said, "So, what is this consideration?"
"One person can give 7 other people a free entry once they complete the challenge, which means in your case you only need two people to accept the challenge and you can then get inside the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters." Blaze explained.
"He..." Leo felt disbelief. He really thought that it would be like a free pass as long as it's the 12 Zodiacs that are asking for the right of entry, considering the current situation of the Mischievous Lion organization right now, specifically the war.
However, contrary to his thoughts, the consideration is actually the unspoken rule of this challenge. From the moment this challenge for the right of entry was created, the members of the 12 Zodiacs and the 24 Elders have agreed on an unspoken rule that if ever they are the one completing the challenge, they can give 7 other people a free right of entry once they completed it. So, making this into consideration is just similar to not giving any kind of consideration to them at all.
To be honest, this was the exact thing that he meant about before when he said as long as a few of them are able to pass the challenge, the rest would also be able to pass. The only difference is the challenge for the right of entry this time is next to impossible to complete.
"Don't tell me the intention of that useless trash is to mock us 12 Zodiacs and 24 Elders by using this consideration to tell us he knew about our unspoken rule?" Leo said, full of displeasure and mockery in his tone.
Although this unspoken rule was agreed upon by the 12 Zodiacs and the 24 Elders, it was pretty safe to say that Master Olivia and the Vice-president should be fully aware of it as well. In their minds, the reason for them not intervening with it, especially the Vice-president, should be because everyone involved in the discussion has agreed with the unspoken rule, as in no one tries to disagree with it.
But, now that the unspoken rule was made into an official consideration, the Vice-president is obviously trying to tell them something, which he can easily assume was a mockery to their foolishness of thinking that their unspoken rule wouldn't be discovered by him.
"Wait... So him doing this meant that he hadn't known about this unspoken rule after all this time?" Leo was speechless, "Just how unless of a trash is that guy?"
"I also assume it that way... Haysttt, I should have told Young Master George to open a meeting before the start of this war to kick that trash out of his position." Blaze regretted.
"Let's just do that after this war." Leo also agreed with Blaze's idea. He then continued, "Since that's the rule, I will do the challenge first to give the 7 of them the right of entry."
After saying that, Leo then walked inside the giant room for the Consciousness Labyrinth training.
Up above the giant room were the people in-charged of this training, looking at Leo and waiting for his hand signal to start.
Leo looked at them as he signaled with his hand to begin.
Seeing the signal, the people in charge of the training immediately activated the array to activate the Consciousness Labyrinth.
*Whooooosh!
Mana all around the place was immediately pulled inside by the array in order to completely activate the Consciousness Labyrinth.
Leo then slowly closed his eyes while that was happening, waiting for his spirit to enter the Consciousness Labyrinth.
*Whoooosh!
Moments later, his spirit finally entered the Consciousness Labyrinth.
In front of Leo was the same scene he had seen in the past. Dark red place, thousands of people that he had killed in the past were walking around seemingly thinking that they are still alive, and many past experiences and scenes like for instance seeing for the first time a massacre, bloody torture, a person cutting a body into pieces and many more nausea-inducing and horrifying scenes.
However, this time he wasn't showing any bit of fear, rather he even showed a mischievous smile on his face as he silently whispered, "Let's begin!"
.....
An hour later, Leo slowly walked out of the giant room. His face was showing that he doesn't care about what he had just experienced just now, at all.
With how many times he had already experienced this Consciousness Labyrinth, completing it within 1 hour wasn't a problem for him anymore. In fact, if only he wasn't combining his weapon with Magic in order to train himself, he would have completed it 30 minutes less.
"Le... Leo..." Charlotte called out with an obvious sign of hesitation and fear.
Leo obviously noticed this and said, "Oh, did I perhaps forgot to tell you guys that you will actually be able to see what I'm experiencing inside the Consciousness Labyrinth?"
The glass that allows the people outside of the giant room to view what's inside the room was actually a Magic Technology that will show everything that's going on to him to Charlotte and the others, seemingly like watching a video back on Earth. This was only possible through the combination of dozens of Magic Array in order to form an Array Formation and then put this Array Formation inside the glass to finally create the Magic Technology.
"Were those your fears and past?" Ahmed solemnly asked. He finally understands how Leo became so capable. With a past like that, then it's only reasonable that a person would have the capability like those of Leo's. To be honest, what's even more shocking was for Leo not to turn crazy after experiencing those.
"An actual Devil's playground..." Blaze fearfully described, "I finally understand now why Young Master George and Claw of Cancer Charles respect you so much, although you're their junior brother."
"I think Ash has made one of the greatest decisions for us!" Venice became excited. A person like Leo would definitely be able to give them the safe sanctuary that they needed. No, it's not even respectful to question him whether he could give the safe sanctuary to them or not, but rather when can he give them the safe sanctuary since it is a sure guarantee that they will be having one.
Venice then turned to look at Jeffrey and Matt, which both were also not showing fear or hesitation on their faces, but instead excitement like her, Jeffrey was even crying out of excitement.
"With Leo's help, achieving our wish would definitely be possible..." Jeffrey muttered.
"Hahahaha, saying that I would support him was the wisest thing I've done in my entire life!" Matt laughed.
Number 1 to Number 10 were now hugging each other while thinking of the thoughts about them finally having the safe sanctuary.
Although they were fully aware of that they would still be fighting for Leo after he gave them the safe sanctuary, but it's definitely going to be worth it because their next generation would no longer need to sleep inside huts while hugging weapons or putting weapons under their pillows. Their future generation would no longer need to stay away from certain places out of fear of being attacked by Magical Beast, or experience being hunted by Bounty Hunters, Slave Hunters, and Mercenaries to be sold to Slave Merchants.
On the other side, Princess Elaine was now looking at Leo similar to how she looked at her mother, specifically full of respect and admiration. For a young man to experience those things, it's just right to respect and admire him, even if she's a princess of a kingdom.
What everyone saw was just like what Blaze had described, an actual Devil's playground, or maybe a world full of slaughter is also a befitting description for that.
What they saw first was just like what Leo had seen when his spirit first entered the Consciousness Labyrinth.
Dark red place, thousands of people that they could easily assume where people Leo had killed in the past, still killing and slaughtering around the place, and many of Leo's past experiences and scenes like for instance a massacre, bloody torture, a person cutting someone else's body into pieces and many more nausea-inducing and horrifying scenes.
Then Leo began running around, adding more to the slaughter in that place. His eyes were cold and sharp, and seemingly nonchalant about the people he had killed. No hesitation could be seen in all of his action. Every swing of his dagger added with Magic had the intention to take someone else's life and not to merely cripple them so that they can no longer move and cause him problems.
And finally, at the very last scene, what Leo had met was his very own self. The only difference was this Leo was crying and walking seemingly with no direction ahead.. If it was them, they would have definitely not been able to face or even consider killing their own self, but Leo didn't even hesitate to stab that other Leo's heart while still wearing the same cold and sharp eyes, and the seemingly nonchalant reaction.
