After a few minutes of walking, Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte finally arrived back at their position before. Of course, they won't bluntly walk in. After all, doing that would also mean someone else will need to replace their vacant position in guarding the entrance, which at this moment is already emptied completely after they killed all of the guards. Their real identity will definitely be revealed once one of the people from the Black organization finds out.
What they were going to do instead was to sneak in without anyone noticing and then blend in with the group. Only by doing that could they be sure that there won't be anyone going to the entrance only to see that no one is guarding anymore.
"If we want to sneak in, then the only part where we have the highest chance of not getting found out will be in that place where those 5 resting soldiers are currently resting at right now," Leo pointed at the 5 people of Black organization from before who were now currently eating and talking with each other inside a small tent, "We can also use this opportunity to eliminate the last remaining variable to our disguise."
However, as easy as it may sound, putting it into an actual action was in fact difficult. It doesn't only require them to be as inconspicuous and careful as possible, but also they need to kill them before anyone could turn their heads in their direction.
Fortunately, Leo has a perfect solution for that kind of difficult problem.
Leo let the 4 Earth Elementals slowly move towards those 5 people while hiding in a toy soldier form. And with only Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte noticing, those people's necks were soon after stabbed while their entire body bounded so that they can't move and their mouth covered to prevent them from making any sounds to alert the others. When they finally stopped moving, their bodies were then slowly pushed forward to make it looked like they are sleeping while sitting on their spots.
Afterwards, Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte slowly made their way towards those 5 dead people.
The moment they finally arrived, they quickly moved those dead bodies to the ground without anyone noticing before the Earth Elementals used Earth Manipulation to cover their bodies with stones. This time, he can no longer burn the bodies to hide them, since they were so close to the other people of the Black organization. Nevertheless, they still successfully hid those dead bodies, and even if there is someone that will come here, they would still not be able to notice that the floor they are standing on has dead bodies underneath.
Once they were done with that, they then slowly walked in to blend with the others. This time, since they came from the direction of the tent, no one bothered paying any close attention to them. The people from the Black organization did turn their heads to look at them though, but it was only for a moment before they returned back to what they were currently doing, not paying any more attention to them.
Seeing this, Leo nodded to Cassandra and Charlotte before he separated from both of them. Cassandra and Charlotte also did the same action.
The reason for doing this was so that they can easily locate who has the button. If they look for that person side by side, it would take them a lot more of time before they can finally find that person, not to mention it will also raise suspicion because they are sticking together. There was nothing to worry anyway since their faces were covered by their black clothes to prevent the other people from seeing their faces.
At this moment, Leo chooses to go towards those Chaos stones, intending to pick them up and deliver them inside the cave in order to see what exactly they are currently doing. Aside from that, he has been very curious about what exactly is a Chaos stone and how does it differ from the other Element Mana or Mana stones, and since he has the opportunity now to study them closely, he of course wouldn't waste this opportunity.
"You go pick that small box over there, it contains 5 Chaos stones." The person handling the Logistics of the Chaos stones commanded Leo.
Leo nodded his head before turning to pick that small box. To satisfy his curiosity, he opens the box to see up close the so-called Chaos stones.
"This..." Leo can't help becoming stunned by what he's currently seeing right now. Rather than calling it a stone, it was more appropriate to call this a glass, since he can clearly see for himself the inside of the Chaos stone, specifically it contains a smoke of black-red in color swirling and hitting the surface of the stone. Every time the Chaos Mana does this, the Chaos stone would also tremble, implying that the Chaos Mana inside wanted to break free.
"Hey you, quickly deliver that inside!" The Logistics personnel suddenly yelled out at Leo.
Hearing the loud yell, Leo was quickly pulled out from being stunned. He then closed the box, and he turned to look at that Logistics personnel as he nodded his head before walking in fast-paced towards the entrance of the cave.
The moment Leo got inside, he was immediately greeted by dozens or so of people currently checking the Chaos stones and when they finished they then walked towards another entrance which he already knows leads towards the location of the 12 large Mana stones in the past.
Suddenly, someone walked towards Leo and said, "Go over there to double-check the Chaos stones."
Leo turned to look at this person before he nodded his head and walked towards the table the latter was pointing at.
The moment he arrived, Leo put the box before he secretly looked at his side to observe what the others were currently doing. He doesn't have any bit of idea how to double-check the Chaos stones, so he was hoping to get some clues from the others.
Fortunately, the person at Leo's side was holding a Chaos stone in his hand as he keeps on turning it around to check for something that Leo doesn't know exactly what. Seemingly finish with looking at the Chaos stone's surface, that person then began running his Mana inside, which Leo heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that what that person was currently doing was only to check the strength of the Chaos Mana inside the Chaos stone.
Leo can't help wiping his sweat off from his forehead. He nearly thought that all the people doing the double-check was the one holding the button to activate the Lesser Chaos Magic Array. If it was really like that, then there is no need for them to continue with what they are currently doing right now, as it is much better for them to just leave and warn the others of the Black organization's trap. After all, he obviously can't kill all of these dozens of people from the Black organization and at the same time prevent them from activating the Lesser Chaos Magic Array, even with the help of Cassandra, Charlotte, and his 4 Earth Elementals currently hiding in his pocket in a toy soldier form right now.
At first, it really looked like that person was connecting his Mana to the Chaos stone, but when the two different Mana began clashing with each other and that person nodding his head in approval, he finally realized that it was fortunately only to check the strength of the Chaos Mana.
That person then put the Chaos stone inside a box that contains the other Chaos stones before moving inside the other cave.
"Oh..." Leo finally understood what he should be doing. He went to pick one Chaos stone from inside the box, but since this was his first time holding a Chaos stone, it nearly jumped off from his hand due to it suddenly trembling in his hand. Fortunately, he has a powerful grip, so he was able to easily hold it from falling. He then began acting like he's looking for something, and when he was done with that step he then began running his Mana inside the Chaos stone. At first, he really wanted to just do an acting in this step as well, but due to his curiosity about the Chaos stone and the Chaos Mana inside, he decided to experiment on it.
Whoooosh!
His Mana smoothly went inside the Chaos stone, and flow seemingly normal inside. But it didn't take that long for something to happen. When the Chaos Mana noticed his own Mana, they quickly charged towards it, intending to destroy it.
Contrary to what everyone was currently doing though, the moment Leo noticed the Chaos Mana's intention to destroy his own Mana, he quickly made it run away from the Chaos Mana, obviously wanting to know more of the Chaos Mana.
Whooosh!
But it didn't take that long for his Mana to finally be surrounded on all sides with no place to escape.
Seeing this, Leo shook his head a little as he already knows where this would be going, specifically his Mana was done for.
The moment Leo gave up control to his Mana, the Chaos Mana then jump forward to shred his own wisp of Mana into pieces.
However, unlike what he had seen that had happened to that person before, the moment the Chaos Mana touched his own Mana, it then suddenly blink in black-red color before completely turning the same as the other Chaos Mana. It wasn't only that, out of nowhere, his own Mana that had now turned into a Chaos Mana quickly began eating the other Chaos Mana until it finally replaced every Chaos Mana inside the Chaos stone into his own Chaos Mana.
"This...."
