….
France was shivering badly, because of being in Leylin’s spell she didn’t have thoughts of revenge but her eyes were empty with no desires to live anymore.
A few feet away from her on the ground layed a broken figure of Ramon. His eyes were completely white and blank.
Leylin has already extracted all the information from his head killing him immediately after, and then he proceeded to also take Ramon’s dead beast as an experimental specimen.
Leylin slowly walked towards the soulless body of France and he shook his head as he looked at her, “What a pity, you had the potential of being a great pawn and it would have been perfect if only your father wasn’t so guarded but, we can’t really blame him either since the situation has become so fragile.”
Leylin has been able to grasp a firm understanding of the situation, and gain great insight about this world. Unlike France who was just a joyful child, Ramon’s memories were a treasure trove of information.
As Leylin thought at first, Ramon is not a simple guy, in fact he is a pretty high class person not only in this region but the whole of the Felineca Empire. He is a son of one a powerful Great Elder in the Main branch of the Greg Family. The Greg’s are one of the few great clans under the Royal Family which supports them. It’s position and influence in the Felineca Empire is pretty domineering.
His father was one of the competitors in the race to become the next family head but unfortunately in a scuffle he was seriously injured and soon passed away.
Even though he didn’t became Family Head, he has amassed a sizeable amount of inheritance for his family. He had only two eligible sons, one of which would get this inheritance and assume the position of Elder in the family.
Ramon and his younger brother competed fairly against each other and unfortunately he was defeated. After his defeat Ramon left the Main Family and moved to established himself here in Linthin town.
Contrary to the expectations, his brother who won against him actually had a great fondness of Ramon and they had a very good relationship. They were the only legitimate children of their Father and has always been together, Being in a cutthroat competitive environment of the Main Family they cultivated an amazing brotherhood and love for each other. Even the greed of being a successor couldn’t destroy their love for each other.
His brother used his authority to help Ramon at every front and provided all the aid he could.
There was a strict hierarchy in the Great Noble families in regards to the resources invested to establish a Beast Tamer, which inhibited his brother from lending a greater help but he still did all he could for his blood brother and then some.
Leylin also found out that his brother named Luke Greg has achieved great success and is a powerful Elder in the family with a Master Sergeant Stage strength almost at the border of Lieutenant Stage. If Leylin quess in not wrong about estimation of power level here, then a Lieutenant Stage is as powerful as Peak Rank 1 Magus.
His personal power is at a phenomenal level and similarly like his father in the past he is also going to compete for Family head title but with a greater success rate. His personal strength is already at the stage where he could be a family head, all that is there left to complete is establish his own force and gain support.
Previously, Luke held some expectations for Derick to bring his brother family line back into the Main Branch, but he was a total playboy, extremely lacking in ambition and talent but later as France showed a great talent, he offered his help to get her admitted into the very prestigious ‘Rose Petal Royal Academy’ to study.
This goes to show that the relationship between the brothers were very strong and powerful. In fact, the reason why Ramon could breakthrough was due to his brother support.
One may think that the relationship is pretty one sided but Leylin knew the full story. Since Young, Ramon knew that his younger brother has greater talent than him and instead of being jealous or insecure he completely invested himself into helping his brother to become stronger. In the fight for Inheritance and main family line too, Ramon decided to let his brother win and gain the 100% resources so that he could reach greater heights.
By right, even after a loss he would have gotten a good portion of this inheritance but he simply rejected it all, using shame as a disguise to run away.
‘This really is a different world, you cannot see such love in Magi World, well of course if you take the cases like Old Devil as exceptions.’ Leylin knows that even here, Such a good relationship is a unique situation but the fact remains that here in this world, kinship and loyalty is kept in very high esteemed, “Still there is some great similarities to Magi world here! ”
One thing that was like a revelation to him was the difference and meaning behind this “The True Sergeant stage ” that Ramon talked about.
A True Sergeant is much different than an average Beast Tamer. Similarly like the way in Magi world, where the higher ups hides the knowledge about Advanced Meditation Technique. The Royals, Great Families and Clan knows a way to truly become a Beast Tamer….
There is a big difference between a official magus who breakthrough with a reagent like Grine water and one who do so with high grade meditation techniques.
A forceful break though will lead to many complications and are generally weaker than a magi who practice an advanced meditation technique.
Much like that a True Beast Tamer is also more dangerous and powerful than a wandering Beast Tamer, This is the reason why even after so many years no one has been able to shake the foundation of these Great Clans and those Supreme Powerhouses.
A True Beast Tamer is someone who could merge a beast in their soul and use it’s innate ability for themselves, in contrast a False Beast Tamer cannot achieve this. A True Beast Tamer also receives a stronger physique and overall greater strength than a mediocre Beast Tamers.
The main difference between the two appears at Sergeant stage, which is an equivalent to Official Magus.
When Ramon saw Leylin able to evade with a unique method against Slayer Lynx so easily, a beast know for it’s ambushing skills and fast speed. He concluded that Leylin is True Sergeant belonging to the higher spectrum of Nobility. One must keep in mind that only Noble and Royals have ways to achieve this, and even then only those who are direct descendants can get this technique. Except for them there is also other exceptions but they are less likely to be the case.
Leylin could now also understand the reason for Ramon’s discomfort and vigilance. Leylin was able to get his hands on many useful things, he was also able to finally confirm his speculation, “Anyways, I need to move out soon and leave this place. If I am not wrong, Luke Greg will definitely launch a investigation about this attack but since I didn’t leave any clues leading up to me, the blame will most definitely be put on the disturbance and trouble brewing in the empire ”
Leylin smiled as thought about the disturbance and chaos that is crawling near the Felineca Empire.
Leylin made his mind to leave this place, he has got his hands on what he wanted. Now he just have to research and lay low for a while.
“What to do with you?” Leylin look at the pale looking France and went into a thinking state. He knows that keeping her alive will be a good decision, he could use her to infiltrate the Main branch of Greg Family, ” I guess keeping you alive is not so bad but I don’t want any trouble, who knows if they have a way to extract some information from you. I have full confidence in my technique but why leave a proff of my crimes here
and it seems you would rather prefer relief too”
Leylin eyes tuned cold as he gently touched France head and soon her body dropped on the cold ground like a ragdoll.
He commanded sheshnaag, “Clean the mess”
Although Leylin could use France, her usage expectancy is not very high. Leylin doesn’t really put these so called “Great Nobles” in his eyes, especially after being aware of the True powerhouses of this world. All he wants now is to research peacefully and find a way to reach the peak of his strength.
