Although Leo wanted to refuse Doombringer no matter what, but with Madam Flores finding a very 'reasonable' and 'assuring' reason that they knew her friend Madam Silva, he was left with no other choice but to helplessly accept Doombringer... No, he meant, trouble...

Fortunately, Madam Flores had thought of adding some kind of Magic array to disguise the appearance of Doombringer in order to not let it get found out by those that have seen how it looked like.

At this moment, the previously sharp and made out of some kind of metal with a Magic attribute appearance of the Doombringer has now turned into a mere wooden Magic Staff. Its look has turned from being so magnificent to nothing but plain ordinary.

No one would absolutely be able to compare the previous Doombringer to its present appearance right now.

Nevertheless, though, the Magic array still failed to hide Doombringer's powerful pressure. Only this time is, no one is able to see that it came from the Magic stone imbued in it, which is the most important problem.

But, just like every Magic array, it has a limitation. The disguise appearance of the Doombringer could only trick people with cultivation less than the 5th Galaxy level. If they showed the Doombringer to anyone with the cultivation of 5th Galaxy and above, then they'd certainly be attracting trouble to themselves. And they can't be blaming anyone anymore aside from themselves, as they have already been warned the moment they were forced to accept Doombringer.

After forcefully receiving Doombringer from Madam Flores, Leo and his group decided not to leave Elves Secret organization without Ethan escorting them to the Smiling Lion Village.

They are all seriously afraid that someone really powerful might just suddenly jump up in front of them and ask them, "Give up the Doombringer, or else all of you will die!"

In such a scenario, even if they actually give up the Doombringer, they would still die to keep their mouth shut and not potentially reveal to anyone who has the Doombringer.

Since all of them were afraid, Leo has no other choice but to secretly send out Nightingale, who sees no problem with it, to go to Smiling Lion Village and find Ethan to inform him about their current predicament.

With it still being the night time, this allowed Nightingale to use his capability of using the Dark Element to the peak level he could muster. He turned into a shadow and merged together with the shadows of the buildings nearby them to quickly travel towards places without getting detected or seen.

The ability that Nightingale had shown to them is called Shadow Walk spell, a Magic spell of the Dark Element. It's similar to the Shadow Walk technique that Leo's Master, Olivia, had taught to the Mischievous Lion organization as proof of their identity. The only difference is, the one that Nightingale had shown to them is the real deal, while the Shadow Walk technique of the Mischievous Lion organization was nothing but a pure imitation, or the least, it was inspired from the Shadow Walk spell.

Of course, Leo had long already known about the history of their Shadow Walk technique. It's just that this was the first time he had seen the actual Shadow Walk spell that the Shadow Walk technique was inspired from. That's why he can't help admiring the Shadow Walk spell. Someday, he'd definitely learn the Shadow Walk spell.

Unlike the others, he has the affinity to all the Element Mana that exist in the Celestial World due to the fact that he has the Fate Cube who also has God Elementus inside. So, learning the Shadow Walk spell for him is possible with the only problem being him not having the Magic Book of the Shadow Walk spell. Though, with Nightingale's assistance, he'd definitely be able to learn about it even without the assistance of any Magic book.

Speaking about learning Magic spells, it should be the right time... No, the exact word is, he should start learning more Magic spells aside from Fireball spell and Green Terrain spell. He has long been putting aside learning more Magic spells to this date. Not just because he has been busy handling different things, but also because he has no Magic Books to learn from.

Up until today, he has always been relying on his Elementals and the people around him. He should abandon such thoughts before they consumed his mind and cause him trouble in the future.

Always relying on his Elementals and the people around him will not allow him to grow, because all of those things aren't his own strength.

Even though the Elementals could actually be considered as part of his own strength, but using them always has this huge risk of exposing his capability to summon Elementals and attracting a lot of trouble. He can't afford to always use them, thus learning more Magic spells and strengthening them is a must.

As of now, his Fireball spell and Green Terrain spell have reached the 1 Star level standards. He can now create two fireballs and can cause a small plot of land to be covered in grass. Still, that's not considered enough yet, especially if he's aiming to get a high placing, or best, win in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, and is also looking for ways to protect himself from any sort of trouble, or worst, life-threatening dangers.

Aside from that, now that he has Doombringer, improving his strength has become important. After all, only with power could he be able to use a powerful Magic weapon like Doombringer. If he has not enough power, then even if he has Doombringer, it would just collect dust inside his Storage Ring as he can't use it yet.

Although he can actually just give it to someone else as well, but the question is; who?

As far as he knows, aside from Dan, no one else uses a Magic Staff as their weapon.

There's also another problem of whether he should actually give Doombringer to Angel or not as she was the person that has a String of Fate connected with Madam Flores.

But even if he can indeed just give it to them, both Angel and Dan are still not considered strong enough yet to protect Doombringer, at least that is what he believes. After all, Doombringer has a Magic stone imbued on it, thus it will certainly attract powerful Organizations, Empires, Clans, and Sects to them.

Even though Madam Flores has already installed a Magic Array to disguise the appearance of Doombringer, it still isn't that hard to recognize a powerful Magic weapon. Therefore, even if they can't see the existence of the Magic stone imbued in Doombringer, people would still get interested in it as it is still considered as a powerful Magic weapon.

That's why, before he gives the Doombringer to Angel or Dan, the both of them should have the capability to protect the weapon from the others first. In such a way, he wouldn't have to worry about it falling into someone else's hands and consequently causing him a lot of trouble.

Until then, the Doombringer would stay inside his Storage Ring and not be shown to the outside world.

Anyways, about learning more Magic spells, he decided that starting today, he will be learning more Magic spells to start strengthening himself.

It didn't take that long for Ethan and Nightingale to arrive.

As they now have a five square kilometers territory, Ethan decided to use one of the Green Eagle Flyingboat parked in the airport of the Emerald City to fetch Leo after knowing that he has a magic weapon with a Magic stone imbued on it. Having such an item needed the utmost security, that's why he decided to use the Green Eagle Flyingboat as a means of transportation.

As for the problem of where to park the Green Eagle Flyingboat, Ethan had already thought of just simply parking it at an open field in their territory, so there's really no need to worry about such a problem.

Aside from that, Ethan had also suddenly thought that he could actually use the Green Eagle Flyingboat to attract more members to join the Mischievous Lion Guild. After all, not all the Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom own a Flyingboat like them, right?

With the assistance of the Elves Secret organization, Ethan was able to land the Green Eagle Flyingboat in an open spot beside their building.

"I didn't expect that you would actually return with such a powerful Magic weapon in your hands," Ethan said with a smile on his face.

"Trust me, I don't want to have it," Leo said his honest opinion about it before going straight inside the Green Eagle Flyingboat. He really doesn't want to talk about how he had gotten Doombringer. It would only make him more frustrated every time he thinks about it as it meant more trouble to him.

"What's wrong with him?" Ethan can't help asking the others.

"Trouble," Cassandra replied.

"Trouble," Elizabeth replied.

"Trouble," Angel replied.

"Trouble," Veronica replied.

"Trouble," Ash replied.

"Trouble," Charlotte replies.

"..."

Cassandra and the others quickly replied to Ethan in unison. What else would cause Leo to be in such a bad mood?

Hearing their replies, Ethan quickly understood the situation. It seems like Leo has not only gotten a powerful Magic weapon but had also brought trouble together with it. And based on his reaction alone, he either didn't bring this trouble to himself or was forced to him by someone else. No matter what case it was though, this means that Leo is not feeling good about it, especially considering how much he hates trouble.

As soon as everyone has gotten inside the Green Eagle Flyingboat, Ethan passed the wheel to Chief Lago and the latter quickly flew up and drove it in the direction of the Smiling Lion Village.
