They knew what was happening to him, After the mental punishment for having evil thoughts towards their
master, they would have high mental stress and a huge soul suppression that would make them weaker than they normally are which would in turn result in the need for the content of that bottle.
Lucifer just bought a Soul cleaning elixir, they knew that it must have cost him all the points he gathered during the fight.
"So this is how we grow strong huh!" The God of war blurted out sarcastically, joy was evident on his face, so it was obvious to them that he loves this method.
The other gods rolled their eyes, right now they are no different from normal slaves, compared to the way Deus was treating them, ileus was treating them far worse.
If anyone sees these gods right now, they did be shocked, this nine people are one of the strongest beings in the universe.
If placed on the rank they did be top fifteen, for them to be acting like old friends is an odd sight that could not be seen often.
They have multiple temples all over the Universe where they are worshiped and prayed unto.
Everyone usually use to think that apart from the Deus, no other person or God is capable of endangering these gods, but the results right now defied all logic.
After his sarcastic words, the God of war brought out his great sword from his spatial ring And slashed into the air, a blue arc filled with mana was immediately sent to the victim, and the half-time half-boar beast became a headless corpse immediately after receiving the attack.
The God of war grinned wildly to himself, though the beast was strong, it was not at his level, but knowing that there are even stronger beasts here, one that can even rival him in strength was driving him crazy.
His love for the battle is making him even more excited.
He clenched his fists tightly as he thought about something, that thought was driving him crazy with excitement.
'A beast on gods level of strength...I wonder how ileus was able to create many of them at the same time, it must have taken him many resources to bring them to this level... It seems like ileus haves many secrets that we don't know of, I am kinda sure that even the almighty deus knows nothing about this'
'I wish that he would one day tell me how he created beasts that par with him on strength, that's the only secret I want to know'
Meanwhile, a crystal immediately floated to them after they had killed the hybrid beasts.
Seeing it coming to them, Lucifer could not take it any longer, he clenched his just tightly.
"Where the fuck is ileus!"
He was getting very angry right now, and his veins has started bulging, though it was not yet visible.
"..."
What met him was silence, and that silence is adding salt to his injury.
His veins continue to increase in size, simultaneously with his rising anger.
"I said WHERE IS ILEUS!!!"
His voice thundered and echoed scaring a few beasts and attracting, even more, stronger beasts to their current location.
"Focus on what you are doing. Because you won't be meeting ileus anytime soon!" The crystal answered in a cold voice but hidden in that cold voice, was a swirl of emotions.
If only it was built to be able to cry and let everything out.
It remembered when his master told him to wait, but it did not because it wanted to know how his master would handle the gods.
It had already watched the fight between its master and the nine supreme gods toms of times, but hearing that his master would treat them differently this time, made him inquisitive and wanting to know more.

Back to Leo 'The Super Thief'
------------------------------
As the Crystal remembered these scenes [Apart from the fillers; { (The fighting angels), and the (Old Cultivator) }]
it sighed.
'Well that was about three million years ago, the reincarnated master is naive and does not know who he is and the dangers that are awaiting him.'
"So system, why was the starter pack given to me now?" Leo asked, completely oblivious to the trance the crystal was in when remembering things.
"The starter pack is for this dungeon, it's kind of a reward for entering and finishing the LVL 7 dungeon"
Leo did not know why, but he felt like the crystal had become emotional recently, its tone is not as cold and mocking as it was before. Nevertheless, he shrugged it off.
"And what's up with this nightmare mode!?"
"That's the highest and hardest mode of this dungeon, it's a mode which has the aim of pushing you to your limits, tempering your body, and honing your skills to the highest level possible, and within the shortest possible time, it's a little bit different from other dungeons"
So I will be able to choose it, but there is no way am choosing the nightmare mode, I will choose the hard mode!""
As much as he wanted to choose the easiest mode possible, he disciplined himself so that he would not choose it... He wanted to be strong enough to face what is waiting for him outside and he knew he can't get strong by choosing the easy and fastest mode possible.
He did not want to choose the nightmare mode as he knew how life-threatening that mode is because he had lost his arm because of that same mode.
"No, you won't be able to choose the nightmare mode because that one is by default. its applicable only to a few dungeons and beasts in that dungeon are almost two times stronger than the beast at the same level as it is"
"Hmm... " Leo thought things through before asking.
"How about I choose it now?"
"Huh...!? " the crystal was a little bit shocked as it was not expecting this question, at least not now.
