“The Ouroboros Clan has completely expelled our organisations and restored their territories!”
“In the Lava World, The mysterious new emperor, Vermilion Hero Agni has brought a group of high-ranked inhabitants under him and is going around annihilating the Mobius Organisation!”
“Damn it, Damn it, DAMN IT! Ouroboros Clan, Agni… One day, I’ll bury your skulls under my palace’s steps, and have your souls wailing within the flames of my lights…”
Zegna’s eyes were bloodshot as he sent the reporting Morning Star Magus away. Recently, all that was being delivered to him was bad news.
A strong Warlock has actually gotten the coordinates to the Lava World, as he ransack his plans on Holy Solar Festival and took the Phoenix egg. Zegna still doesn’t know who that person was, his clone was killed immediately by Kemoyin Dukes before he could understand anything.
The new Emperor who Zegna is very suspicious off is also bringing a whole group of his new subordinates and vying for territory with him.
While Zegna was in terrible shape worrying over these, Lita had meanwhile reclaimed all the territory that had once belonged to the Ouroboros Clan!
…..
“Leylin has advanced!” Gilbert, Adam and Emma had come over while Lita was deep in thought as she reported about the advancement. Their eyes were twinkling with joy, bewilderment as well as contemplation.
“That’s amazing, it means our Ouroboros Clan now has five morning star warlock.” Emma had immediately made the connection and sense of Leylin abrupt breakthrough after glancing at Lita. Lita must have used her own share of treasure as well as asked for a favour from the unfathomable Lord Kilvish to push Leylin to Morning Star. ‘Is this why she was so adamant about helping him?’
“Yes, he has encountered a good fortune during his travels and finally broke through. It surely is a joyous occasion.” Lita nodded sharing a vague response, everyone knew that Farlier Family head was under seclusion for some time and after return when the Dukes wanted to meet him for their agendas, Lita rejected and explained how he is not present in the clan and is travelling around. Technically she wasn’t lying.
“We would have to throw his Morning Star ceremony as well as our wedding, this is an opportunity to show our prowess to everyone. I know this could be risky but Lord Kilvish is with us and after the ceremony Leylin and I would be leaving for a while.” Lita explained and assured.
“What is the status of the battles for resources so far?” Lita asked folding her arms as everyone immediately understood the underlying intent. Now that the Farlier Family has another Morning Star, they need to rethink their plans for distribution.
“Yes, it’s been good. After the nefes city capture attack that you proposed we would have a greater reach soon. So far after months of hard fighting, we have finally regained all our territory and those around us. This is the new map we’ve drawn out.” Adam said.
Lita sent her soul force into the crystal, and immediately perceived a giant map. Different colours were used to divide the regions that belonged to the different bloodline nobles. She could sense that Adam made last second alterations too.
Compared to the previous map, there was a much of a change on the whole as their previous borders were increased to 30-35%, as much of the nobles’ territories had been greatly modified.
Primely, the territory that belonged to the nobles under the the Dukes wings had been greatly reduced, reallocated instead more significantly to the Farlier Family.
‘On the whole, all the dukes’ rights and benefits has taken a hit than before, while we get a hold of the territory and resources of a lot of land recollected as well as captured but their loses would also be curbed soon as we do the nefes city mission.’ Lita pondered over this in his mind, though on the surface, just nodded, “Its fine! Let’s go with this redistributed map!”
Only after Lita agreed to this redistribution did Adam, Gilbert and Emma feel as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. After all, She was far too crucial to the Ouroboros Clan in their mind, and if she was dissatisfied with the distribution and left the clan they would be in deep trouble.
Lita laughed and shook her head, “How much do you know about Sky City?”
“Sky City? Are you planning to go there on your honeymoon?” Adam asked a bit perplexed, their clan is not in a very good position because their recent growth has impacted many parties and Jupiter Lighting was out to get them too, at this time if anything happened to Lita then their conditions would be very dire.
“Mm. My soul has strengthened too much recently, and my physical body hasn’t been able to keep up.” Lita nodded. This wasn’t any information worth hiding after all.
“Seriously,” Gilbert sat down speechlessly, “Us bloodline Warlocks have the advantage of increased vitality due to our inheritance of ancient genes. We’re ahead of Magi in this field, and normally we only have to worry about how to increase our soul force. There are practically no other people in your situation!”
Lita explained her plan about the Sky City. The Endowing Scepter kept in Sky City was a treasure that only Virtuous Sky Sages could come in contact with, and it had the ability to increase physique by two levels without any side effects.
They were a bit critical because even though the Monarch of the Skies hasn’t targeted Warlocks before, the situation with Warlock Union isn’t very favourable.
Bloodline Warlocks had been rejected and were treated as enemies by the regular Magi of the central continent. They had even reached the verge of extinction. Despite the tremendous efforts of the few Radiant Moon Warlocks, most Warlocks still felt quite unsafe. This was why the Morning Star Area had come up.
If the Monarchs hadn’t given the suppression of Warlocks their tacit approval, this would have been impossible.
In the Duke’s eyes, Lita was an up-and-coming talent who they had high expectations for, they naturally wouldn’t want Lita to leave and expose herself to danger.
….
A huge circular hollow room in the Morning Star Magus Tower in Atoot Mountain, created with the help of the tower genie. On the ground were complex designs and magic runes, and even eternal fires burning.
Surrounding the entire spell formation were four gigantic pillars, every single stone pillar the thickness of three men combined. Above them was something like a huge carving, it seemed to be holding a egg, full of a wild ancient aura.
[Phoenix Egg’ Vitality spell formation, progress 99.9999%] the A. I. Chip responded after scanning through. Leylin created this room as a separate training room for himself where he kept the Phoenix egg.
The formation was a very expertly designed Vitality increment array which would be fuled by Leylin sentient force to revitalize the Phoenix Egg.
After thinking for a while, Leylin finally decided to hatch the Legendary Beast. Although there is huge profit in using it now and squeezing the egg for all its worth reaching Peak Rank 5 but Leylin has many ways to achieve this goal. The chance of having the possession of an ancient creature like Phoenix is a very rare one and although the expenditure would be exceedingly high, Leylin has a feeling that the final results would definitely please him.
Leylin already has a whole World to squeeze sentient force and valuable resources. The growth of the clan has also irked many individual who would try something and Leylin would gladly meet them, as he is more than ready to wash the Magus World with blood if that’s what it takes but as of now, he has a plan in mind.
‘I hope your don’t disappoint me little guy. With a bloodline so monstrous and tyrannical, there is no way a weakling would emerge from you. Who knows maybe the Phoenix Child would have the legendary bloodline in its veins through which I can figure out the new world coordinates of the Ancient Phoenix.’ Leylin couldn’t help but lick his lips at the mere thoughts of such a high level World. Even if he is wrong the Phoenix itself is very worthy to invest in, Of course the price is too high for the current him.
“Begin!” Leylin’s eyes shimmered with crimson light.
*Crack! Crack!* Under the manipulation of the tower genie, the entire square started shaking.
Waves of a terrifying aura rose continuously within the spell formation. Leylin concentrated his mind and projected pure sentient force, the whole spell formation started to change.
The four gigantic stone pillars surrounding the square began to shake. From the tunnel up above, a huge amount of colorless auraless primordial energy concentrated and transformed into blood red in colour dripping down.
The red liquid first filled the pillars to the brink, before it slowly spilled out like blood flowing in veins, causing the pillars to turn crimson and connecting the Phoenix egg which shook from the completion of the formation.
The liquid flowed all the way down, finally reaching the runes of the spell formation where the egg was.
The concentrated blood red filled the runes in order. The entire process was full of a certain solemnity, and the stagnant atmosphere was stifling.
The spell formation kicked into action, and an enormous layer of crimson light shot up from the runes and straight into the egg which devoured everything like a gluttonous never ending abyss.
Under the attraction of the crimson light rays, the the spell formation was working in overdrive. Light took on the form of symbols and flowed inside the egg, as it began to radiate waves of fiery furnace and extremely rich vitality oozed from the surface of the egg.
[Beep! Phoenix egg is undergoing Sentient Force rites! Life force and Vitality strengthening in process.] [Beep! Phoenix Egg is absorbing quintessential materials, vitality increased.] [Beep! sentient force has taken effect. Radiation is creating the best environment for absorption.] The notifications from the A. I. Chip sounded continuously.
After the last wave of sentient force had passed, Leylin felt a stream of heat gushing out from his body greatly emptying his reserves.
[Beep! Scanning Phoenix vitality….. Established Protocol Applied….Vitality reading increasing, currently at 9.7! 13.5! 17.3! 19.9!]
“20% not bad, the Sun Child Bloodline Imprint and the modified fireplume creates a perfect environment for the egg restoration. This coefficient is only an estimation though so, I should be ready for more.*Sigh*- That took a lot out of me, this expenditure cannot be underestimated but good thing that the formation study was successful.” Leylin estimated the expenditure as he contemplated, he wasn’t going to go all out and dry himself of all sentient force. That’s just not happening, a Trump Card like sentient force cannot be wasted, this restoration is a huge and time taking project and this was just one of many procedure he has to follow in the near future.
“There is no rush, putting out too much vitality at once would break the balance. The perfect environment of the best fire attributes resources as well as occasional sentient force revitalization would increase the chances of hatching.” Leylin has decided to stay here mediating unless something important happens.
But, there isn’t anything interesting happening as of now. Months have passed since Leylin’s Morning Star Magus ceremony after which both Lita and one of his clone went to Sky City where everything was smooth and Radiant Moon Stuart didn’t act up.
But Zegna couldn’t stop himself as he used the Pond of Lamentation trying to get at him. Leylin intentionally leaked some information about himself so that Zegna would either target him or Lita. Fortunately for Leylin and Unfortunately for Zegna he targeted Leylin trying to curse him, which didn’t boad well for Zegna.
Such curses couldn’t do much to someone like Leylin who a kind of an expert in the field and after the merging from Sky City library his defensive ability is quite abundant. Leylin used the curse in reverse as he masterfully tracked Zegna back and went to his base to directly kill him using the Sun Child bloodline imprint. He made sure to control his strength to peak Rank 5 ensuring the survival of the crafty spirit magus inside him, which would be useful later.
Leylin powers and amazing feat shook the central continent as many searched high and low for him, but no one could do anything because, again Leylin was too shrewd not leaving any clues whatsoever. His actions of using such a dangerous and harmful spell was also taken care off by himself so, no one could but any blame or raise any fingers on him.
Many organization were very alerted by the sudden rise of a powerhouse like that and they tried to unearth the mystery.
Many magus roamed to get him, and each who faced him met a horrible fate. Warlock Union was also in a frenzy as his mysterious legend spread.
Through this time, Lancy has already broken through successfully consolidating her strength into Morning Star and left to Lava World along with his clone to handle the situation. Leylin’s clone, Lancy and Bowens together are more than enough to handle the problems there.
Leylin has created a Bloodline Radiation Tower inside Atoot Mountain where all of his subordinates stay and practice, this would help their bloodline to evolve and possibly even mutate. Obviously the chances of that is very low.
[Beep! Reserves of the Sun’s Child bloodline imprint strengthened!] [Beep! Host’s fire elemental resistance has increased!]
Along with the timely prompts from the A.I. Chip, Leylin’s mind wandered off for a bit as he stared at the sun-shaped runes on the back of his hands.
“Well a good side effects, the presence of egg is also good for my soul force.”
Leylin was scanning the different results from the A. I. Chip as suddenly his body jolted as a foreign desolate far away message sounded in his head.
“Oh great sadhu travelers, hear this servant pleas. Take your benevolent self and again protect the realms means. Shower us with blessing, show the correct path; Your disciples are crying, Please unleash your wrath…”
