It took Leo and Darvis nearly an hour to finish their conversation due to how detailed Darvis introduced everything to Leo was.

"Since we are done here, let's go and find Brother Elmont and General Luke so that we can begin our tour in the Smiling Lion Village," Leo said. 

"Okay," Darvis nodded his head after he finished storing all the papers that they have just used. 

Along the way to find Elmont and General Luke, Leo also took the time to tour Darvis in this underground facility. 

They have already went to the warehouse, do the next stop was the cultivation rooms.

"Your cultivation rooms are almost comparable to the cultivation rooms of the Elves Secret organization, Guild Leader Loki," Darvis said in admiration after trying the cultivation room for a few minutes.

"That's really great to hear," Leo replied with a smile. But honestly, he already expected such a comment. After all, the cultivation room that Darvis had just tried was a cultivation room that is powered using Chaos Orbs, not Mana stones or the surrounding Mana. That's why it is only natural that it is almost comparable to the cultivation rooms of a powerful organization such as the Elves Secret organization. 

Unbeknownst to Darvis though, what he had experienced just now was actually the lowest configuration of this cultivation room. Similar to other cultivation rooms, the quality of Mana inside would improve the more and better the Mana stones put inside or the stronger the Magic Array used to gather the surrounding Mana. In the case of this cultivation room, however, Leo had only used a single Chaos Orb in order to achieve an effect almost comparable to those of the Elves Secret organization.

"I just felt a bit strange, because the Mana inside that I felt was a bit chaotic, almost like those of Chaos Element Mana. Did you perhaps used Chaos stones to improve the effectiveness of this cultivation room?" Darvis asked. 

Just like what one could expect from a Royal Blacksmith like Darvis. A single experience with the cultivation room was more than enough for him to notice the existence of Chaos Mana.

Fortunately, Darvis only assumed that it is because of Chaos stones, not Chaos Orbs or something comparable to such rare, or in this case, special, Magical resources. 

Putting his finger in front of his lips, Leo replied, "Sorry, I can't tell you, it is a Guild secret," 

"I understand," Darvis nodded his head in understanding. But deep inside, he could somewhat assume already that Guild Leader Loki had most likely used Chaos stones. Well, how else would he explain the existence of Chaos Element Mana inside the cultivation room, right?

"Enough with that, let me take you to the main attraction of this underground facility. You can consider my action of showing this secret to you as my way of expressing my courtesy to the Evergreen royal family," Leo said before leading Darvis to the training rooms. Of course, these training rooms were once again just another copy of the training rooms in the Lion Heart City. 

Soon, Darvis finally saw the dozens of different training rooms of the Mischievous Lion Guild. As soon as he saw those training rooms, his heart instantly flutters in amazement and excitement of discovering a new experience. 

Those training rooms were completely unique and unlike the training rooms that Darvis had seen so far, which includes the Evergreen royal family, Elves Secret organization branch in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, and other Noble Household training rooms. 

A training room where one is required to traverse in an ice terrain. 

A training room where one is required to traverse in a flaming terrain.

A training room where one is required to traverse in a deadly poison terrain.

A training room where one is required to traverse a place full of plenty of hidden traps. 

And the shocking of all, a training room where one is put inside a small cage where they are required to fight to the death against a Magical Beast attacking them from the outside of the cage. 

"Wait!" Darvis suddenly exclaimed in shock as he soon saw the person inside the cage, "Is that, General Luke?"

Hearing Darvis' words, Leo immediately turned his head to looked closely at the person inside the training room called the Death's Cage. To his bit of a surprise, it indeed turns out to be General Luke. 

"Guild Leader Loki!" Iasiah immediately called out as soon as he noticed Leo and Darvis arriving. 

Arriving beside Iasiah, Nightingale, and Elmont, Leo then asked, "How did General Luke suddenly end up in such a situation?"

"Well," Iasiah can't help but scratched his cheeks before continuing, "He said that he doesn't believe that so far it is only you who has completed this training room called the Death's Cage in the entire Mischievous Lion Guild and maybe even the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom, so he quickly volunteered to experience it for himself," 

"So, is that actually true?" Elmont quickly asked. 

"If we are talking about the people present in the Emerald Tree Kingdom right now, then that should technically be the case. But, there is two main reasons for that. Firstly, and the most simplest reason of the two, is because this training room has just been completed not that long ago," Leo explained.

"And the second reason is?" Elmont quickly followed up a question. 

"Secondly, and the main reason of all, it is because this training room has been classified by a Galaxy-level Mage as the third hardest training room that she has ever invented so far," Leo finished explaining. To be more precise, this Death's Cage was classified by his Master Olivia as the third hardest training room in the Lion Heart City.

Hearing Leo's words, Elmont and Darvis' faces immediately turned really ugly. In the next moment, they turned to look at General Luke inside the cage while showing the look of pity on both of their faces. 

"This would definitely hurt the pride of General Luke," Elmont said before shaking his head. 

"Although, I don't quite understand what you mean, but if there is one thing I'm certain about, that is he has no one else to blame aside from himself," Darvis added. 

"Let's just watch, maybe he would become the second person to complete the Death's Cage in the Emerald Tree Kingdom," Leo said as he then turned his attention to General Luke again. 

"We hope so," Elmont and Darvis said in unison. 

.....

Meanwhile, inside the small cage, General Luke gripped tightly the iron sword that was given to him by a core member of the Mischievous Lion Guild while his eyes were focusing closely on the door in front of him. 

General Luke was already informed that he would be fighting against a Magical Beast that they would be releasing while inside this small cage where his movements would be greatly restricted. 

In General Luke's opinion, this isn't really a big deal, at all. Regardless of how small the space is, that is still considered as space. As long as he could make use of that effectively, then this so-called Death's Cage would be something he could complete. 

"Are you ready?" A core member of the Mischievous Lion Guild located at the top of the training room asked. 

"Ready!" General Luke replied. 

As soon as General Luke expressed that he is ready, the iron gate in front of him was immediately opened. 

ROAAAAAARRRR! 

A loud bellow of an enraged Magical Beast immediately sounded inside the darkroom behind the iron gate.

In the darkroom, a big jaw of a fox slowly appeared. White smoke could be seen being released from the nose and saliva was constantly dripping from the mouth to the ground.

"A 1-Star Savage Fox? Now I can't help but wonder why Iasiah had said to me that this is an extremely difficult challenge of the Mischievous Lion Guild," General Luke said doubtfully. He brandished his sword as he added, "I'll show you what an extremely difficult challenge is!"

While holding the sword, General Luke put his hand forward and taunted the Savage Fox, "Come to daddy, little foxy!"

As if it understood General Luke's words, the Savage Fox bared his sharp fangs while staring full of bloodlust towards him.

Growl!

"Is that the only best you could do to me? Growl? You're even worst than a dog if that is indeed the case... Oh, it seems like I've finally made it really angry at me," General Luke said, but his lips slowly formed into a smile, showing no nervousness or anxiousness at all.

After General Luke finished his words, the Savage Fox immediately pounced towards his cage. It then quickly slash its claws, intending to cut him into pieces.

Whoooosh! 

Seeing such sight, General Luke immediately moved to the side. But to his surprised, he immediately realized that there is actually not enough space for him to move from the range of the Savage Fox's attack, "Shit!"

General Luke immediately put the sword in front of him in order to block the claw of the Savage Fox. 

Clang! 

Unfortunately, because it was just an ordinary iron sword, it was unable to withstand the force of a 1-Star Savage Fox.

Bang! 

The sound of an iron sword breaking into two was soon heard by everyone watching General Luke.

Soon after, a huge claw mark appeared in the chest of General Luke with blood continuously oozing out from it.
