Quickly understanding the danger of the current situation, Leo finally sent out an order, "Don't hesitate to kill all of the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows anymore!"

As soon as Iasiah and the others heard Leo's new order, they didn't hold back anymore with the Magic spells that they have been using. 

"Ice Glacier!" Iasiah casted. In the next moment, a few huge bodies of ice fell from the top of the room straight towards the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows. 

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! 

The five 8-Star Storm Sparrows weren't even able to bellow out in pain as they were instantly flattened to the ground by a few ice glaciers.

That wasn't yet the end, as both Nightingale and General Luke soon after casted their respective Magic spells just to make sure that they have indeed killed all of the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows. 

"Shadow Spikes!" Nightingale casted. 

"Earth Pillar!" General Luke casted. 

Spikes made out of shadows and swords made out of earth shoot forth towards the direction of the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows. 

Soon after, dozens of holes appeared around the ice glaciers.

Once Iasiah, Nightingale, and General Luke were finished with their attacks, everyone then waited for a few minutes to see whether the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows were still alive or not.

In the meantime, no one decided to launched another Magic spell as they knew clearly well that those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows were going to be used as materials in making sets of Magic armors. 

Honestly, Iasiah and the others who were guarding the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows could have easily killed them before. The only reason why they didn't choose to do such a thing until now was because they don't want to cause any damage to the materials as that might caused problems during the making of the sets of Magic armors. 

Almost everyone would try their very best to preserve the quality of materials that they would be used in making an item lest they would end up having a less subpar finished product, which includes the Mischievous Lion Guild as well. In the first place, that was the main reason why Leo thought of keeping those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows alive.

However, as Leo and the others realized that it would be next to impossible to calm the minds of those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows after discovering that they must have eaten the carcasses of 7-Star Magical Beasts that have taken Savage Fox Potion when they were still alive, they could only choose to kill them to prevent a lot of trouble for the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

Also, there are two main reasons for choosing to do such an action;

Firstly, compared to those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows, the lives of the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild is clearly much more important for Leo and the Mischievous Lion Guild. No other reason aside from that they are the few people that they could trust the most without worrying about getting betrayed at this point in time. If one of them died, although replacing their places would be easy as they could just simply buy a new batch of slaves or conduct tests on the new members of the Mischievous Lion Guild to promote them to core members, but doing so would cost a considerable amount of money and is also considered as a lot of trouble.

And secondly, this place would highly likely get destroyed as well once those five 8-Star Storm Sparrows escaped from their cages. There is even no telling whether the surface would also get implicated in the mess or not. Just the cost and trouble of that problem alone is already something that the Mischievous Lion Guild really doesn't want to get their hands with.

Compared to such a risk, the risk of damaging the materials for making the sets of Magic armors is clearly only considered as a small problem. And besides, they could easily find new 8-Star level materials to replace the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows, they also have other materials that can compensate for the damages done as well, and last but not the least, those sets of Magic armors that they were ordering would only be used temporarily by the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild, once they have found a new batch of much better materials, then they would certainly replace the sets of Magic armors that Darvis has made with a newer and better one. 

After waiting for tens or so of minutes, Leo finally decided to unearth the carcasses of those 8-Star Storm Sparrows as they should be already dead based on the sole fact alone that there were no longer any movements. 

"Begin retrieving their corpses," Leo said while shaking his head in great pain. Although choosing to do this comes with the least risk, it still doesn't change the fact that this would end up affecting the sets of Magic armors that Darvis would be making for the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

"Yes, Guild Leader Loki," Everyone nodded their heads in affirmation.

Iasiah, Nightingale, and the other core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild quickly began removing the ice glaciers covering the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows. 

It didn't take that long for everyone to finally remove the ice glaciers, revealing in their sight the unsightly carcasses of the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows. 

Fortunately, the bodies of the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows weren't smashed into a meat paste by the ice glaciers. 

Nevertheless, Leo still shoots Iasiah a displeased look on his face. The latter could have used another method to kill these five 8-Star Storm Sparrows, yet he actually chooses to use the Ice Glacier spell, which nearly turned all five 8-Star Storm Sparrows into a meat paste. Next time, he would remember to make his order much clearer so that they will not make a similar mistake again.

But, on the second thought, he really can't blame everything to Iasiah as well, Eilajah should also be at fault as he was in-charged of choosing the food to feed these five 8-Star Storm Sparrows, Ethan is also at fault for not buying a much better and stronger cage, and he's also at fault for missing the possibility that some of the Magical Beasts that they have killed had actually taken Savage Fox Potions.

The question now is how exactly did those Magical Beasts have taken a Savage Fox Potion? 

Of course, this is clearly the fault of the Naughty Elves organization as they are the only organization extremely known to use such a method from the past until this present moment, at least basing on the information that they have learned so far. 

Still, this doesn't answer the question of how exactly did those Magical Beasts have taken a Savage Fox Potion? 

Was it merely a coincidence? Or is there a grand scheme happening behind the shadows without anyone knowing a thing about it?

If it was nothing but a coincidence, then they could only blame their dumb luck and count this event as an unexpected accident. 

However, if this actually turns out that there is a grand scheme happening behind the shadows, then this definitely implies a very dangerous threat for the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. A threat level that can possibly destroy the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom!

Just the thought alone that there are a few freely wandering Magical Beasts that have taken Savage Fox Potion without anyone knowing about it is already a very big problem. 

Why?

Eilajah already mentioned that Savage Fox Potion is contagious and that any Magical Beasts that ate the carcasses of Magical Beasts that have taken Savage Fox Potion would also become savages like a beast. 

This means to say that, once those Magical Beasts that have taken Savage Fox Potion dies, which has a very high chance of happening as they would definitely attack whoever they see and end up getting killed, and get eaten by other Magical Beasts, the effect would then transfer from one Magical Beast to another.

A few thousands of Magical Beasts might still be alright, but once it becomes hundreds of thousands, or worst, millions, then the situation would definitely become uncontrollable.

As long as the Naughty Elves organization possessed the method to make those Magical Beasts turn to attack the Emerald Tree Kingdom, then it would become the exact reason why it is considered as a very dangerous threat enough to destroy the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. To be more precise, it would become akin to an apocalypse or an invasion to the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

And just by basing on the characteristics of the Naughty Elves organization alone, there is a very high chance that it is actually the case.

Though, it is still Fate who knows much clearer than anyone else what would likely go to happen.

The only thing he could do now is to warn Elmont and General Luke of his speculations. 

"Don't worry, I will definitely inform father to investigate about this once I returned back to the castle," Elmont said with a solemn look on his face. 

"I'll also inform Commander Vargas about this. If this threat is really true, then it seems like we have vastly underestimated the Naughty Elves organization," General Luke added. 

"Better be safe than sorry. Even if turns out to not be the case, the Emerald Tree Kingdom still needs to be wary of this possibility," Leo warned.. If he could think about this plan, then there is also a possibility that other people would be able to think of it as well, especially if they are people who are much more experienced when it comes to doing cruel things compared to him. But he then changed the topic, "Anyways, let's finished with what we have come here for from the start,"
