"That was such a dangerous situation!" Charlotte's voice out behind Leo.

"Trust me, we would face another situation like that as we continue on this journey. So, prepare yourself to save everyone." Leo replied.

In the past, when it was still his first time entering the Hundred Hills, he had nearly experienced such a dangerous situation for nearly 5 times before he finally arrived at the headquarters of the Mischievous Lion organization. However, in their case right now, they would be continuing their travel to Heart city after arriving at the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters, so they should be experiencing such a dangerous situation for 8 to 10 times until they finally arrived at Heart city.

Though there is actually nothing to worry about, since if he could successfully ask for Sagittarius Sandra's help, the Mountain Gorillas would most likely be coming along with them in the journey, bringing its own army of Stone Monkeys and Stone Apes.

Suddenly, Charlotte raised her hand, immediately making Leo and the others stop in their tracks.

"I sense a Magical Beast with an unknown power slowly approaching us..." Charlotte warned as she quickly took out her Twin Glorious Daggers.

Leo and the others quickly followed after. It would definitely be a powerful Magical Beast if it's capable of causing a 9 Star Battle Mage like Charlotte to become cautious.

*Rustle! *Rustle!

*Whooosh!

"Leooooo!"

Out of nowhere, a small black flying Magical Beast came out of the bush while screaming out Leo's name.

"Prepare yourself!" Charlotte firmly holds his Twin Glorious Daggers.

"Quickly stop, that's Levi, my Beast Companion!" Leo quickly put his hand on Charlotte's shoulder to stop her, but Charlotte didn't react and her eyes were also not looking at Levi but instead something behind Levi.

Obviously, with Charlotte's years of experience, she was long aware of the existence of Beast Companions, even talking Beast Companions. And hearing the small flying Magical Beast screaming for Leo's name in obvious fear, it was pretty easy for her to guess that the Magical Beast is Leo's Beast Companion. The thing she was cautious about wasn't that, but the Magical Beast currently chasing after Leo's Beast Companion.

Arriving beside Leo, Levi quickly hid behind while his body was shaking out of fear.

*Whooosh!

Moments later, another black Magical Beast with the same size as Levi and also a black-colored wing came out shooting straight towards Levi.

"Voi... Void Eater!" Ahmed, who saw the small black Magical Beast, suddenly exclaimed in horror. This was the same Magical Beast who had attacked him when he was still young, the one that had caused his cultivation to have trouble in improving.

Hearing Ahmed's exclamation, Leo's face turned solemn as he quickly warned everyone about the Void Eater, "Watch out, the Void Eater likes to eat Magic Power and it would then cause problems in your cultivation afterward!"

Charlotte, Princess Elaine, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, and Number 1 to Number 10 quickly prepared themselves to fight against the so-called Void Eater.

"Leo quickly beat that fatty. It bullied me when I was trying to get stronger back at Twilight Forest, huhuhu..." Levi cried out behind Leo.

The reason why Levi hasn't appeared in this past few days was simply because he decided to stay back in Twilight Forest to develop himself to become stronger. Hence, Leo became surprised the moment he saw the little one out of nowhere.

"Bullied?" Leo dubiously asked.

"Yes! It tried to steal my food, followed me everywhere, and even annoy me all day, so please stop that fatty!" Levi replied.

"So, it didn't attack you or have any intention of killing you?" Leo quickly became curious.

"Of course not, that fatty was only pestering me because of a smell!" Levi rolled his eyes.

"What smell?"

"I don't know..."

Looking at the Void Eater, Leo then noticed that its eyes seemingly looked like it lit up brightly before it then dives straight towards Ahmed. It just unexpectedly ignored Charlotte and the others, seemingly like it doesn't give any sort of care to them.

"Ahhhh!" Ahmed quickly started running away to escape from the Void Eater.

However, the Void Eater seemingly doesn't want to let Ahmed escape as it relentlessly pursued behind him.

"Leo, help me!" Ahmed quickly runs towards Leo.

Seeing this, Charlotte immediately blocked in front of Leo.

"Go behind me!" Charlotte said.

Ahmed quickly followed after as he dashed to the left of Charlotte.

The Void Eater quickly wanted to follow, but it was suddenly blocked by Charlotte's attack.

*Whoosh!

The Void Eater dodged, but a dagger then suddenly appeared in front of it, making it dodge once again.

Charlotte kept on attacking the Void Eater, and the Void Eater kept on dodging Charlotte's attack.

Soon after, seemingly realizing that Charlotte has become so annoying and that it doesn't have any time to play around with her, the Void Eater then disappeared and instantaneously appeared right beside Ahmed.

Ahmed who has just calmed himself frantically blocked with his shield before he swiftly swings his sword, aiming towards the Void Eater.

Unexpectedly though, the Void Eater actually didn't mind it. In fact, it just stopped mid-air, seemingly showing a smirking face, and waiting for the sword to hit it.

*Bang!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ahmed's sword was actually repelled away by some kind of Magical Barrier.

However, Ahmed didn't mind it at all, as he firmly held his sword once again and swing it straight at the Void Eater.

*Bang!

Repelled again...

*Bang!

Again...

*Bang!

And again...

*Bang!

Once again...

The Void Eater even looked like it's sitting on the air as it suddenly let out a yawn.

"Why can't this thing just break!" Ahmed roared out before powerfully swinging the sword.

*Bang!

*Whooosh!

The sword finally can't handle it anymore as the upper part breaks into two and came shooting straight towards a tree.

"Are you done?" The Void Eater suddenly talked with a little boy's voice, causing everyone around to become dumbfounded.

"You..." Ahmed voiced out his disbelief.

"You're shocked because I can talk?" The Void Eater said, seemingly stating the obvious.

Ahmed can't even reply with the question because he was so shocked beyond belief.

"Nevermind..." The Void Eater said before it slowly flies towards Ahmed, quickly causing Ahmed to step away.

"Don't run away from me, because I will always come and chase after you."

"Why?"

"Because I'm bounded by your Mana."

"What do you mean?.."

"I'll explain later, for now, let me eat your Mana first because you made me very hungry after you suddenly left Twilight Forest!" The Void Eater said before it suddenly disappeared and instantaneously appeared once again on top of Ahmed's head. Afterwards, a blue-colored wisp was slowly being pulled up to its void looking mouth, disappearing as soon as it got inside.

"What are you doing...?" Ahmed said with fear evident in his voice.

"Eating!"

Many more blue-colored wisp was pulled out from Ahmed's consciousness by the Void Eater to its mouth, and moments later the Void Eater burped out and fly up above Ahmed, whose eyes showed that he's drained out of Mana.

Seeing that it's finally done, Leo slowly approaches the Void Eater.

"Although you can do a Teleportation, I've already ordered my men to surround your likely escape path, so if you don't mind, please explain to us why you suddenly attacked Ahmed!" Leo said with a sharp look in his eyes as he took out two daggers from teacher Homer's Storage Ring.

"You are?" The Void Eater curiously asked while looking straight at Leo.

"Leo Heart, and Ahmed is one of my men." Leo replied solemnly.

"Is that little one who has the smell of Ahmed your pet?"

"What pet!! I'm his Beast Companion, not a pet!" Levi quickly replied out of annoyance after being called as Leo's pet.

"Same meaning, but in a different word!" The Void Eater rolled its eyes.

"I..." Levi immediately became speechless.

"You still haven't answered my question!" Leo said quickly pulling the Void Eater's attention to him once again.

"Hahahaha," Levi suddenly interrupted Leo with a laugh, "If I'm a pet, then you're even worse than a pet because you need Ahmed's Mana in order for you to keep on living. Oh, wait... calling you a pet is an overstatement, it's more appropriate to call you a slave, hahahaha! You're a slave, fatty!"

The Void Eater's forehead immediately began twitching as soon as it heard Levi calling it a slave. Although it is still considered as a kid due to its cultivation still being low, that doesn't include his knowledge. He was long aware of the definition of a slave, and even the difference between a slave and a pet, specifically a pet, would receive lots of love and attention while a slave would receive lots of beating and punishment.

Leo really wanted to smack Levi's head as soon as he interrupted him, but the moment he heard about the Void Eater can't live without Ahmed, he immediately realized the answer to his question.

In the Magical Beast Kingdom, he had read before that there are types of Magical Beast that would bound themselves with someone, specifically a person, using that person's unique Mana structure.

He was taught about this in teacher Marvin's class before that every Mage has its own unique Mana structure. And this unique Mana structure is what allows Slave Contract, Blood Contract, an Oath, and many more that involve the usage of this unique Mana structure to completely work.

So if his guess is indeed correct, then the exact reason why the Void Eater had followed after Levi relentlessly is that Levi had Ahmed's smell, maybe he had got the smell when he was fishing with Ahmed back before at Eclipse village, and since Ahmed had suddenly left the Twilight Forest, the Void Eater's only clue to find Ahmed for it to live was to only follow after Levi, hence it started bullying Levi in hopes of forcing him to find Ahmed.

"I'm not a slave... Aysttt, if only this boy didn't block that girl who has the best potential to become my Master... I mean, Companion... then I would have grown even more powerful than anyone else right now..." The Void Eater voiced out its helplessness.

"What do you mean?" Leo quickly became interested.
