….
Leylin slyly retreated away, keeping an eye on the two of them. He was eagerly waiting for them to totally spent each other. Many Dynasties warriors tried to chase him or stop him from fleeing since they could clearly see the importance everyone was putting in his safety.
Regardless of who tried to come in his way they were killed in a single move, at this point Leylin couldn’t be bothered to play with them, his full focus was on the showdown. After a while he disappeared from everyone view. The fight continued with great vigour.
Unknown to the aggressively fighting bulls and the mass of aggressors, on a bit far away place a group of two people sat patiently as they watched the showdown unfold. They seem to be very focused and oddly no could detect their presence.
They were using some odd means to keep an eye on the fight. One of them spoke, ” The situation is very delicate, but it’s good that Vice-Commander Leylin has retreated. The second Pope puts great emphasis on him it’s a great surprise that he actually let him get involved in this mess. ”
“Yeah, I have notified the Church about the mishap and the leak in our plan but it doesn’t look like reinforcement can arrive before the fight concludes.”
The two men talked to each other as they spied on the situation. The fight was getting more brutal and it seemed that now the final moment has arrived, Damien looked worst for wear and it was apparent that Rakim held the advantage. Suddenly before they could even react a pair of sharp menacing claws appeared behind their back and went straight through their chest destroying their spines and crushing their hearts.
The two men gasped as they turned around simultaneously to look at the lonely figure standing behind them, “W-Who? ”
Unfortunately they couldn’t talk for long since with every passing second a volatile poision spread in their system as they body began to turn terrifyingly black and their innards decomposed leaving a empty husk of their body which collapsed soon after.
“So they are some kind of spies working for the church, I must say they have amazing stealth ability. ” Leylin looked at the corpse with a cold gaze as he thought. Since the start of the battle Leylin had a weird gut feeling all along that someone was watching this confrontation, in fact he suspects even Damien and Rakim could feel this slightly but unlike Leylin they weren’t Magus and they don’t have the unique identification technique and spells that he posses along with the A. I. Chip scanning.
Leylin didn’t knew if these people could send reports in real-time to their receivers, this is why he first decided to look for a chance to slip off and get rid of them stealthy and then proceed with his plan. Leylin still have some business left in Church he cannot leave the group just now.
Leylin looked around and he could still feel that there are some other people left too, probably the people from Dynasty who had similar task to this group.
“I almost let this slip if it weren’t for my perception and A. I. Chip, I would have left some unnecessary evidence. Let’s get rid of the extras before getting on with to the main event. ” Leylin figure disappeared as he slowly begin to clear out the battlefield.
*Hufff*
Both Rakim and Damien went full throttle with their offense and completely disregarded their own safety. After a moment they clashed thunderously and an intense wave spread throughout the battlefield. Dust and smoke filled with debris flied everywhere as the whole area was covered in dense fog of demolition.
After a moment the battlefield dust cleared off revealing a half-dead figure Damien laying on the ground with one of his arms missing from his upper body and opposite to him in a pool of blood, a bloodied and battered Rakim was kneeling on the ground heavily puffing. But oddly enough they both didn’t look at each other but rather they turned their attention in a similar direction with anxiety written all over their face.
In the direction they were staring, a dense dark clouds appeared with sounds of spirit’s hauling agonizingly and inside this cloud stood a bare chested figure dark figure whose face couldn’t be recognised.
His hairs were waist length and were dancing in the air like lively organisms, His whole body was completely dark and looked as if made from shadow itself. His body stood straight like a mountain as of it could bear the weight of the heavens itself but this isn’t what attracted the attention of Rakim and Damien rather it was the suffocating pressure released from his body.
“Who *cough* are you? ” Rakim coughed out some blood and asked with a cold face as he could easily understand why a figure like him will choose the most venerable opportunity to appear. Now the question was who this guy was going to support. A question that neither party knew the answer of.
The figure looked at Rakim and mildly smiled, his smiled send shiver down the spine of everyone present and every little action of this figure had a irresistible force and momentum.
This guy was obviously Leylin, after clearing out the field for any extra eyes. He appeared here immediately after witnessing the last huge explosion. Currently he used his rampage mode but unlike before he wasn’t wasting his pure blood essence without control, rather after such a long time of experimentation and years of practice Leylin was able to develop a way to properly use this technique with the least wastage. He could now exhibit the most control and power with highest efficiency.
Right now, Leylin strength was equivalent to that of a final level General Stage, probably even reaching the initial Marshall Stage if he gave out his all. He didn’t knew for sure since the gap in strength increases drastically as the gap in stage increase. Leylin is pretty sure he could rival a Crystal Phase Rank 3 Magus with his current ability.
Leylin looked calmly towards the below crowd and a mocking sneer appeared on his face as he decided to tease his preys a little. “My name is Tamraj Kilvish and I am here to ‘get a gift for Aby’ ”
As soon as he said that Rakim eyes bulged open as his memories instantly floated back to a flashback a few days ago when he received an anonymous message detailing the plan about his assassination. At end of the letter was a small note reading ‘A gift for aby’. Reading this Rakim shivered because ‘Aby’ is the pet name he use to call Blair with.
“Yo-”
“Enough gibberish! ”
Leylin then turned his attention towards the crowd, “Intimidating Gaze”
As soon as he used his spell, everyone was immobilised as any living being that is within the perimeter will have their powers suppressed. Those with weak willpower will enter a state of confusion. Rank 1 Magus will have their abilities weakened by 50%, rank 2 Magus weakened by 30% and Magi of the same rank will have their stats reduced by 10%.
The same could be said about the Beast Tamers too, as the effects on them is actually a bit more effective.
Intimidating Gaze, his rank 3 Innate Spell has finally made an appearance. After numerous blood purification, the Giant Kemoyin Serpent, as an elite ancient predator, has its might absorbed and assimilated into the bloodline Warlock. Those who hold the dignity of creatures from ancient times has a force field with an intimidating effect!
“‘Lance of Longinus’!! ” Leylin didn’t waste his time and used a devastating spell to strike both Damien and Rakim with a devastating single target attack. His spear materialized from the darkness itself and zoomed over his enemies with an amazing speed and ferocious momentum impaling both and killing them instantly.
