"I see," Chief Lago finally understood the reason why they are being chased after by the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. 

"Chief Lago, the Doombringer is still with you, right?" Charlotte suddenly asked. 

"Yeah, I didn't return it yet because we were planning on going here," Chief Lago nodded his head. 

"Then quickly take the Doombringer out and cast a Magic spell. We can't let the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle continue chasing after us. And also, I'm planning on catching this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle, later on, so causing more injury to it would provide us with more chances to succeed," Charlotte explained. 

"What?! You're planning on catching this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle?" Chief Lago was instantly surprised. 

"Let's talk about that later," Charlotte replied, she then continued, "First, let's force this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to retreat!"

Hearing Charlotte's words, Chief Lago nodded his head. He then quickly took out the Doombringer from his Storage Ring. 

"I'll distract the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle for a bit, be sure to prepare a powerful Magic spell for it," Charlotte said as she swiftly maneuvers from mid-air to turn around and charge straight towards the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. 

Seeing one of the people it was chasing turning around to face it, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle showed its sharp fangs as if trying to intimidate and cause some fear to Charlotte. 

Unfortunately for the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle, Charlotte is a powerful 9 Star Battle Mage. So, its intimidation and intention to cause her some fear were completely ineffective. 

With a wave of her hand, Charlotte, for the first time ever after leaving Lionheart Kingdom, took out her most powerful Magic weapon, the Six Headed Snake Twin Dagger. 

Brandishing the Six Headed Snake Twin Dagger on her hand, Charlotte then added Earth Element Mana on it. 

Whoooosh! 

The Six Headed Snake Twin Dagger immediately became tougher and sharper than before. 

"Have a taste of my strength, you punny little insect!" Charlotte exclaimed as she slashed together the Six Headed Snake Twin Dagger, releasing an orange-colored beam of light. 

WHOOOOOOOSH! 

The Beast Lord Treasure Beetle was able to quickly sense how powerful Charlotte's attack was. So, without any hesitation, it decided to create thick metal walls in front of it. 

BOOOOOOOOOOM! 

Charlotte's offense and the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle's defense quickly confronted with each other, causing a loud explosion sound. 

"Now," Chief Lago suddenly exclaimed a bit farther behind Charlotte. 

As if knowing already what Chief Lago was intending to do, Charlotte immediately casted a Long Distance Blink spell to bring herself beside Chief Lago and the others.

Waving the Doombringer on his hands, Chief Lago casted, "Whirlwind!"

WHOOOOOOOSH! 

A small tornado appeared in front of Chief Lago before it shoots straight towards the direction of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. The tornado keeps on expanding larger and larger as it finally became massive. 

Realizing that it was impossible to fight against Charlotte with the massive tornado coming straight towards its direction, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle quickly decided to fall back so as to dodge the attack. 

Contrary to the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle's thoughts though, it soon realized that no matter where it goes it was unable to escape away from the incoming tornado. The tornado keeps on following it wherever it goes as if it has eyes. 

Obviously, it was Chief Lago controlling the tornado to keep following after the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle wherever it goes.

The Beast Lord Treasure Beetle quickly understood that the only way for it to escape was to destroy the tornado. 

With that thought in its mind, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle quickly prepared both its Earth Element Power and Metal Element Power to fight back. 

Mana around the surroundings was swiftly being gathered towards the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. And soon, a ball of Mana that contains both Earth Element Mana and Metal Element Mana was formed, it appeared right in front of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. 

ROAAAAAARRRR!

With a loud bellow from the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle, it finally released its attack.

Whoooooosh! 

A ray of light that contains powerful Magic Power with an orange and silver color combined together shoots out from the ball of Mana straight towards the direction of the incoming tornado. 

BOOOOOOM! 

The two attacks collided, causing a strong gushed of wind to spread throughout the entire surrounding. 

A few trees on the ground were uprooted. 

Stones and other types of debris flew up to the air and were thrown in a random direction. 

Clouds dispersed away.

It didn't take that long for everyone to see who was gaining the advantage in the collision. 

No matter how powerful the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle's attack was, with Chief Lago using the Doombringer along with his cultivation level of a peak 9 Star Mage, he was obviously bound to win. 

And because of that, the tornado soon began pushing the ray of light closer to the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle.

Meanwhile, Charlotte quickly created a Defensive Magic spell around Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale in order to defend themselves in case of any accident. Her cautiousness is obviously learned from Leo.

"Prepare yourselves, we will be leaving here on my mark," Charlotte reminded everyone before sending a signal to Elvis to look for a path to retreat.

"Eh, why? Aren't we already at the advantage here," Iasiah curiously asked. 

Smack!

Nightingale immediately smacked Iasiah's head before pointing his finger towards a direction behind the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle and saying, "Stupid brother, look!"

Iasiah followed where his twin brother Nightingale was pointing at and he soon saw thousands of Treasure Beetles coming towards them.

"Don't expect that the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is trying to defeat us with its attack. Its action right now is just to buy enough time for its reinforcement to arrive. So, if we don't leave here soon, we would get surrounded by Treasure Beetles, making it extremely difficult for us to escape. You don't want that to happen, right?" Charlotte explained. 

Iasiah's face immediately turned fearful after hearing Charlotte's explanation. 

"I already finished observing our surroundings," Elvis suddenly interrupted. He continued, "I noticed a small cave nearby to our southwest direction, specifically on our 8 o'clock direction and around 100 to 150 meters from here. Let's use a Long Distance Blink spell to teleport over there and hide. That place should be good enough to sneak away from the Treasure Beetles,"

Charlotte nodded her head before turning around to look at Chief Lago and saying, "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, don't worry, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle would soon be consumed by my tornado before its reinforcement could arrive. Once that happens, it will be the perfect opportunity for us to escape as it can't see where we are going," Chief Lago replied. 

"Everyone prepare!" Charlotte exclaimed to everyone. 

"Okay!"

"Yes!"

"Affirmative!"

Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale nodded their heads in unison.

With that being said, Charlotte, Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale immediately began gathering Mana from their surroundings as they then prepared themselves to activate a Long Distance Blink spell. 

It was just like what Chief Lago had expected, the tornado was getting closer and closer to the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle in every passing second. 

The Beast Lord Treasure Beetle was obviously no longer able to fight back using its Element Power since the tornado unexpectedly has a much stronger Magic Power. 

Fortunately, though, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle was able to weaken the tornado to a considerable degree after receiving its continuous Element Power attack. With that, it should only receive a bit of damage even if it got sweep inside the tornado. 

Whoooosh!

Finally, the tornado fully consumed the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle as it then began circling it around inside.

The wind of the tornado wasn't just any ordinary wind, it was as sharp as Magic Swords. Because of that, wounds started appearing around the body of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle as it keeps on circling around. It's really fortunate that its body was extremely tough due to it knowing both the Earth Element Power and Metal Element Power, the two best Element for defense. 

As soon as they saw the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle being consumed by the tornado, Charlotte, Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale didn't waste any time as they all quickly activated their Long Distance Blink spell. 

Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whooooosh!

In the next moment, the five of them appeared at an entrance of a cave. All of them didn't hesitate as they quickly get inside and hide.

"Earth Wall!"

"Green Terrain!"

Both Charlotte and Chief Lago immediately covered the entrance of the cave with rocks and grass to conceal its location. 

"Quick, hide your presence," Charlotte soon informed everyone. 

Chief Lago, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale nodded their heads and swiftly hid their presence. Charlotte also did the same. 

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh! 

Soon, they began hearing the sound of Treasure Beetles flying close by their location. 

The sound eventually passed away, making all of them breathe a sigh of relief after knowing that they didn't get discovered by the Treasure Beetles. 

"We should not stay here for long, we need to meet up with Leo as soon as possible," Charlotte said. 

Hearing Charlotte's words, Chief Lago quickly asked, "Why?"

"I'll explain later along the way," Charlotte replied. She then looked at Elvis and asked, "So, how is it? Are they gone?"

"There are still a few Treasure Beetles nearby our location, so let's wait for a bit. They should be gone soon," Elvis replied. 

"Okay," Charlotte nodded her head.
