…
Leylin was back in his own Magus Tower built inside the Atoot Mountain, in his territory adjacent to the Dylan City. Leylin was currently working on his computation and resistance method to repel Jupiter Lightning’s Radiant Moon Magus, Zegna. Zegna is an extremely vile man with a narrow minded personality. Leylin isn’t worried about him because he knows about the mastermind behind him, still he needs to be very careful in his dealings. It’s still not time for him to appear in the front.
As Leylin was working in his laboratory, checking all of the current ongoing experiment and collecting latest data, The A. I. Chip notified him about Lancy visiting. Leylin allowed her inside as he continued without any break.
“Master, all of your servants have received orders to come back and stay inside the Magus Tower in Dylan City carrying out our duties. Anna, Ivy, Cole, Roderick and myself have already heeded your words, and because of the special circumstances of the magus tower we had to expel every Warlock outside the Magus Tower, this has lead to great dissatisfaction in them although no one dares to speak currently seeing the favourable state of Farlier Family but after your departure, how should we deal with it?” Lancy asked. All of Leylin subordinates were call back from the headquarters and were to stay here. He was able to successfully carry out and conclude his latest investigation installing it there and because of that, he ordered every Warlock to be taken outside of the Tower.
Afterwards, he has allowed his servants to come back but the warlock were still not allowed. This has created discontent because Leylin is favouring outsider over the Bloodline Warlock.
Leylin looked up and saw Lancy, she has achieved great success in her revival to Rank 3. Lancy is also very powerful able to fight above her phase, Leylin is quite pleased with her performance.
“Lancy, there is no need to worry about them. They would just shut up, in the current state of the ouroboros clan no one would dare question our family and even after the elders return, the circumstances would remain the same. The tower is especially modified for you guys, it would be very beneficial in the maturation of everyone’s bloodline.” Leylin calmly stated.
After his breakthrough into Morning Star, Leylin’s bloodline radiation was capable of nourishing those with the power of bloodline around him. Which meant that not only Bloodline warlock of Kemoyin serpent but all user of bloodline would be benefited from his radiation including Bloodline Knight.
Leylin’s terrifying bloodline has the ability to increase the collective purity of those around him. Of course it depends on the distance and interaction as well as Leylin’s desire.
His bloodline has helped all of his subordinates, Anna, Cole, Roderick, Ivy and Lancy have received his help in mildly maturing their bloodline and advancing. Especially Lancy and Lita who were with him most of the time and recieved physical nourishment as well.
Anna is the just below them but she is also showing signs of reaching peak as she unknowingly broken through to the limits of rank 3. With how her bloodline was constantly being purified, there was a chance she’d break through to Morning Star Bloodline Knight, The first one of her kind! Cole and Roderick were also very expectant to reach the legendary Duke level Beast Tamer stage.
The power of a his terrifying bloodline is truly frightening… To subtly influence and transform anyone, evolving them into a more powerful state. His bloodline would not only could amplify his individual military might, but it could also upgrade his subordinates. Although Leylin haven’t tested his ability to help in advancement to everyone but as per speculation as long as one is a Bloodline Magus they would experience this growth.
If he stayed at the Ouroboros Clan for a hundred years, most of the rank 1 Mankestre bloodlines would probably evolve to rank 3, becoming Black Horrall Snake bloodlines. As for Black Horrall Snake Warlocks themselves, They stood a chance of becoming pureblood Kemoyin Warlocks! The bloodlines of many of the royal families would grow even purer due to Leylin’s existence.
Of course, all of this was also related to the distance between them and Leylin. For example, Lancy, Lita and Anna who was closest to him experienced the deepest influence from his radiation and aura, showing results in just a few months’ time.
Afterwards Leylin used his radiation from the Overlord bloodline that is influencing the community and formed an energy tower that will be in this eternal state!
He then installed the tower temporarily in the Magus Tower of Dylan City and moved everyone of his servant there. The tower is a prototype as it could only function for a year or so, Leylin would create another one in his own Magus Tower when he is free.
As Leylin was making his move Lita went to Morning Star Area and signed a contract with other familiar Warlock, this protection is pretty much a farse in reality Leylin wants to showcase the power of the clan which would them in not only regaining but also capturing some resources land.
With the contract in place, the might of the oath as well as the supervision and urging of the Morning Star area, Lita was assured about the Ouroboros Clan.
…
Phosphorescence Swamp, within the Morning Star Magus Tower.
After sending everyone away, Lita came before the astral gate alone.
“I am ready Leylin. Are your preparation done?” Lita asked as she communicate with Leylin via the A. I. Chip.
“Yes, All the preparation is done. We would commence the departure.” Leylin spoke, he was in his Magus Tower as he wore a golden black royal robe with the picture of a majestic enormous world eating serpent.
“Tower genie! Once I leave, seal both of the Magus Tower immediately. Do not let anyone enter, and await further instructions!” he instructed. He had prepared a lot of things for this expedition.
This was different from the previous experiments where he just projected spiritual seeds. He was on a rescue/excavation mission, and needed to move with his real body. This was extremely dangerous, as one could be completely lost in another world. Hence, the astral gate had to be kept completely safe!
Nobody would trust someone else with a job like this. He could only leave this to the tower genie which had no human emotions.
In actuality, Leylin had prepared another safeguard. Even if this tower genie were rendered ineffective, he and Lita wouldn’t end up stuck in another world.
*Rumble!* With Leylin’s order, both of the Magus Tower shut down, runic chains and defensive layers sealing off each and every pathway. Large numbers of puppets and void assassins with red light in their eyes began to patrol the area rigorously, there were eight void assassins four of each stationed in the either Magus Tower.
Outside Lita’s Magus Tower, Various bloodline warlock were looking in awe and excitement as they saw the Magus Tower that was being completely shut down. Their expressions were somewhat complex.
Lita and Leylin obviously did not bother with this. They focus was entirely on the astral gate in front of them.
Leylin had already calculated the coordinates of the world that Gilbert and the other Dukes were lost in long ago.
“Let’s step foot in another journey of our destiny.” Leylin was emotional. Even the lowest-grade world was definitely more powerful than a plane! The resources there were plentiful, enough to make Morning Stars and even Radiant Moons go green in envy.
A ball of light that looked like a star floated out from Leylin’s hands and disappeared into the astral gate.
*Rumble!* Through the connection of the astral gate, Leylin’s soul force seemed to come into contact with an extremely complicated and tremendous world. Lita also felt the contact, she has retreated leaving the work to Leylin because Leylin preparation is much more meticulous and more importantly he has to take care of Zegna.
The aura of sulphur and flames could be seen spilling over in copious amounts at the edges of the world.
The astral stone reserves that acted as the energy core rapidly decreased, almost falling to a level that would issue a warning.
Through some sensing, Lita could confirm that this world was very far from the Magus World. Just the consumption from opening the astral gate once would leave one tongue-tied and wide-eyed.
“Tower genie, maintain the energy reserves required for the astral gate. Be prepared to retrieve us immediately!” Leylin’s voice was low.
“Understood!” The tower genie immediately confirmed.
“Prepare for the crossing of the main body,” Leylin took in a deep breath and Lita approved through the A. I. Chip. She would travel first to draw the attention and then Leylin would restrict the enemies. Though she had experienced teleportation to the Morning Star area, the idea of travelling such a long distance still had her slightly worried.
[Beep! Beginning collection of data. Establishing folder in database.] The A.I. Chip immediately intoned. This was very rare, but expected. Even if it was an A.I. Chip, it lacked first-hand research materials, and they could be supplemented at this moment.
“I am going through!” Lita said. The lights on the astral gate got increasingly brighter until she was eventually swallowed into it.
*Rumble!* The bright tail of a blue beam appeared from the spire of the Magus Tower like an aurora, streaking through the dark skies like a magnificent meteor.
“It’s beginning!”
“It’s beginning! Activate interference procedures. Things must be the same as before. Break off all of his communications and make him lose his way as well!”
In a jet black world crack, Collins, who appeared in Lita morning star ceremony and tasted defeat, was talking to a group of technical staff who were fiddling with some instruments. There was a large amount of data showing up on the screen.
“Energy interference mode activated!”
“Warping forcefield structure completed. Interference can be engaged at any time.”
“Energy particles taking form. Beginning tracking of trajectory and intercepting opponent…” Multiple high-ranked Magi acted like the most cautious scientists as they quickly operated the instruments in their hands, reporting various data.
“Good. Begin immediately!” Collins swept his hand down viciously. It was as if he could already imagine Lita’s features contorted by terror, and the pleasure of vengeance immediately flooded his heart. He could not help but burst into laughter.
“I am here!” Even though he was still in the midst of teleportation via the astral gate, Lita was still clear-headed. The A.I. Chip was now sending warnings to her and Leylin.
[Detected unknown forcefield reaction. Determined to be interference particle ripples!]
“I will take care of these small fries!” A savage glint flashed in Lita’s eyes.
“It’s offensive pattern number 3. Activate corresponding countermeasures!” Lita’s eyes glinted with intelligence.
[Task initiated. Spatial anchor being projected. Tracing target’s coordinates…] The A.I. Chip began to operate methodically.
A layer of mysterious spatial undulations was emanated from Lita’s body, after five years of being nourished by Leylin even if she has the same rank. Lita has experienced great success in her bloodline maturation and even her rank in Morning Star increased.
[Target coordinates have been determined. Proceed with attack?] The A.I. Chip asked with a robotic voice.
“Yes!” A smile appeared about Lita’s lips.
*Bang!* *Boom!* A glass meter exploded, and many pieces of apparatus burst into flames. Collins, who was watching on, was about to go berserk.
“What’s going on? Who can tell me what’s going on?” Collins roared, his eyes red.
Even Breaking Dawn Magi would find it difficult to obtain this high-grade spatial interference apparatus. This time, so many pieces had readings that went off the charts, and his master would probably murder him.
“The other party seems to have grasped some sort of spatial technique and is counter-attacking!” An old man pushed at the lens in his glasses and concluded.
“Are you kidding me? Do you know how valuable research on spatial techniques is? How did she get it?” Collins’ first reaction was that of disbelief.
“But that’s the only explanation! If the other party’s spatial knowledge reserves are vaster than ours, we’ll probably have to be on our guard against the following spatial attacks!” The old man spoke rapidly.
“Spatial attacks?” Collins was stunned, and immediately after, saw the earth-shattering spatial turbulence that submerged the area…
Arcane Arts and knowledge regarding spatial coordinates were obviously insanely expensive. They were rarely seen, even in the Morning Star area. However, she had the A.I. Chip as well as Leylin and did not need very complete information. Hence, she had purchased just a few incomplete ones.
All of this preparation was done by Leylin himself and even though Lita had the same amount of knowledge and she could also achieve the same feat, even she had to sumit to his supremacy. Though Leylin could not be considered a great master in this area, attacking a few guys who were similarly newbies wouldn’t be a problem.
“You dare—” An enraged voice sounded. Another Magus with a black moon rune on his forehead suddenly appeared at the boundary of the world, trying to intercept Lita.
“Good, you have come finally. I have especially prepared a gift for you.” Leylin smiled as he also transversed through the astral gate and unleashed his Trump card.
“Arcane Arts — Four Auspicious Beasts Transformation.”
Leylin called out and threw a huge amount of soul force as he used his bloodline force to the max. He was currently not pulling any punches as he used all of his strength to throw his latest invention.
Four gigantic beasts shadows appeared as streaked towards Zegna, He was a bit bewildered looking at the dark red figure of four beasts. As a Dragon, Tiger, Turtle and a Bird opened their mouths to attack him, seeing all this Zegna prepared himself for the attack but the Four Beasts didn’t attack rather they halted and form a energy shield around Zegna and sealed him tight.
This move isn’t a offensive one but it is instead a binding arcane arts. This bind is strong enough to keep even a Radiant Moon busy for a few minutes which is more then enough in this case. This is Leylin ultimate move if he wants to retreat because being at and above Morning Star existence need only a moment of time to retreat.
*Whoosh!* As Zegna was restricted both Lita and Leylin were breaking through the protective sphere of a world, enormous astral forces had been activated. Their body seemed to turn into a streak of light and then completely disappeared.
Compared to a prepared teleportation formation, the strength one required to move freely about the astral plane was much higher.
The huge pressure was as if a slab of steel was pressing down on their body, Lita was affected but Leylin didn’t feel any discomfort he was very normal.
…
In a world of lava, large crevices could be seen in the earth, magma surging inside like a network of red rivers.
Space distorted on the surface of two large black rock, forming a translucent gate of light. It incessantly generated lightning in the surroundings.
The lightning crashed down more and more frequently as the entire area was filled with a dazzling white light.
*Boom!* The white light exploded, forming an eye-piercing radiance. When all the light vanished, the original gate of light and the lightning had all disappeared, leaving behind only charred traces that recounted the strange events that had just occurred.
“That was quite a journey, no?” Leylin smiled as he asked Lita who had her brows tighten, both were sensing the large amount of fire elemental particles surrounding them.
Intense pain could be felt from various parts of her body, causing her to groan and bend her back. She looked at the perfectly fine Leylin and snorted.
“A.I. Chip!” Lita immediately ordered, “Check my current condition!”
[Beep! Host body’s soft tissue damage is at 29.87%. Fractures found at 4 areas, and signs of bruising observed on internal organs. Immediate treatment is recommended!] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned, transmitting a 3D human figure to her. The blue image held many signs of wounds.
Even with Lita’s monstrous vitality, she was still injured to this degree. Other regular Magi would probably have completely disappeared without a trace.
Her astonishing vitality and Warlock bloodline were slowly mending the injuries in hed body, allowing her tightly furrowed eyebrows to relax.
“That was really dangerous. I almost died outside the protective sphere.” While recalling what had just happened, Lita couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
The protective sphere, This was the edge of a world, and even included part of the void. It could be said to be a large world’s strongest defence!
In general, every world had this protective sphere, though its strength varied. The most famous protective sphere was probably the World of Gods’ crystal wall.
Its powerful isolation ability was enough for even Magi at ranks 7 and above to be forced to return in defeat. It included a large world and various planes, forming the World of Gods’ unique culture of strength. It even cut off attempts at peeping from other worlds, save for that one time when the ancient Magi had invaded them.
“Nah! Don’t worry, I would not have let you die. My soul force is a bit exhausted but I could still protect both of us. I didn’t help initially before because I wanted to be ready for any unforeseen circumstance.” Leylin assured as he being to walk.
Before reaching the Lava World, Lita lost her consciousness but with the protection from Leylin strength and his existence, she was woken immediately preventing her from being in a bad situation.
If one wanted to use a metaphor, a large world’s protective sphere was like customs upon entry to a country. If Leylin had not woken Lita, she would need to force her way in, and would definitely be met with attacks, especially from the malicious intent of the World Will.
The method Leylin had employed this time was akin to slipping through a barrier. He had not been discovered by the World Will, and the focus on them was evidently minimal, which would aid in their later movements. Leylin isn’t a bit worried about the World’s will because he has a way to bypass it.
“And this!” Lita pulled a silver necklace full of astral light from his neck. After sensing that the connection was undamaged, she could completely relax.
This necklace represented their connection with the astral gate in the Magus world. As long as the connection there was not broken, they could teleport back at any time through the gate. Leylin didn’t check because he was already keeping an eye on it throughout the journey.
“This world is so huge. Where would we find them?” Lita watched the lava lake that stretched as far as she could see, as well as the burning clouds in the sky, and couldn’t help but ask bitterly.
“The Three Duke’s would be besieged by the Emberwing race experts. The confrontation would be explosive as various Morning Star level personnel would be involved. You need to only go there and we can easily find them, Their organization is called Tri-serpent organization, we don’t need to meet with them currently. Let’s save their ass and take our share of work from their collection of Firesource stone.” Leylin indifferently said as his soul force was sent out to explore, and he immediately sensed the difference from what he was used to. In the Lava World, his spiritual force seemed sluggish, a result of the laws of this world not being harmonious with his own.
“You would go there, I have some other business to take care off. I am sending you the information and intelligence about here, just find language by yourself. I would meet you again when we need to save the Dukes.” Leylin spoke as he decided to explore the world. He knows what about to happen so, he would go somewhere else and extract some more benefits. There are many at star ranks(Morning Star) here, he can just kill a bunch and extract their sentient force. He doesn’t necessarily need the Firesource stone capable of increasing Soul force. He can act as he wants here!
[Beep! Testing surroundings…] At this moment, the A.I. Chip immediately projected the analysis of the surroundings before Leylin.
[Beep! Data on surroundings completely gathered. Generating elemental map. Analysing world’s laws. Beginning fine-tuning of host body’s soul undulations…]
