“Arcane Arts — Four Auspicious Beasts Transformation.”
The four gigantic life like auspicious beasts roared as they streaked through the void carrying titanic momentum in their charge and immediately bounded the two Rank 5 expert from four directions. The four beasts released the four elements which combined together to create an isolating prison.
The current spell has the strength to contain them at their peak for a while let alone now in their weakened state, They were completely sealed off as Leylin looked at them with a smug vicious smile.
*Skeech*
Suddenly a sky shaking shrill scream sounded from the horizon as a gigantic and graceful, phantom of a Royal blue Vermilion that held an elegance befitting a dominator appeared before Leylin.
Large amounts of flaring blue flames energy shrouded the Vermilion Bird. The Vermilion Bird snarled as a shower of blue flames appeared in front of Leylin, threatening to demolish and burn the surrounding ruins, earth, rocks, the remains and even the air as it was driving towards Leylin.
Leylin’s gigantic Adhishesha showed ‘fear’ as it contended against the blue flame and was brutally defeated.
Scarlet Eye looked at the Vermilion Bird with a suspicious gaze as an unbelievable expression was on his face, “This form? It’s the Matarisvan race. How can it be? Is this the new rumoured head from Allied Kingdom but why is the form blue not orange and how could he be so strong?”
Not only Scarlet Eye even Archibald was badly startled as they both knew that against this new foe they might even fall and their life may end. Fortunately, The new head of Allied Kingdom was against the outsider and decided to attack the Magus.
Obviously they could figure that it was most definitely a fight for the phoenix egg or why else would the mighty head wait till now to act, but beggars cannot be choosers.
Now, these two only wished for these two fearsome existence to injure each other so, that the overall situation of the Lava World could be maintained and they might be able to contend for profit again.
‘Lita, time for you to go back. Take care of all the necessary tasks and wait for my further command in Atoot Mountain. Notify me once the experiment is concluded.’ Leylin’s stern voice sounded in Lita’s mind as she gazed the immemorial snake with a sense of reverence and fear, for people like her a warlock, being in Leylin existence only is a troublesome issue and that even when he is not targeting them. She immediately gestured for her understanding and pulled back until she was in front of Gilbert and Emma. She had returned to her human form.
“Let’s go!” Lita shouted and Adam also followed suit. Before they could ask, Lita threw three ring in their direction which they caught and immediately decided to take a look, after checking they were grinning and accepted the remuneration for their work.
Although they knew about the Phoenix egg and wanted to possess it but they were aware of their ability. Even the three of them combined has little hope of contending against Leylin. It’s not only because he is strong but also because of the innate suppression they feel around him.
They were also very reluctant to break their friendship with Leylin because after returning to Ouroboros clan, Jupiter Lightning’s leader Zegna would definitely try to supress them, and they would have to defend against him.
Adam knew that there was a reason why Leylin ordered the kemoyin dukes to destroy Zegna clone as they would be reliant on him but even knowing that what could he do but reluctantly agree.
“Let’s go!” Adam, Gilbert and Emma knew they had to leave no matter how unwilling they were. After all this chaos and contest was over, they would immediately be sieged by the entirety of the Lava World, and while they were reluctant they immediately made their decision.
The gigantic door of light expanded and swallowed the three of them, dissipating with grace.
*Boom!* The moment after that door disappeared, Leylin also disappeared as he used some technique to retreat away from the Vermilion Bird, his retreat formed a streaking blue flame turning the sky into a sea of fire as his outer defence was burning from the confrontation.
As Leylin retreated, The Vermilion also followed leaving behind the two Rank 5’s who were restrained.
After a few moment the four beasts binding was broken and inside was Scarlet Eye’s, but now his eyes were bloodshot.
“Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!” He looked at the sparkling, beautiful royal blue light around the horizon as well as the disappeared magus, he looked below at his completely demolished city and all of the dead star rank experts of his Emberwing race. Not only has he suffered huge injuries which may cause his rank to regress, his whole force was wiped and the phoenix’s egg has been stolen.
“AAAH…” Scarlet Eye, who had suffered massive losses, began to cry out hysterically. He wanted to chase Leylin but it was impossible, even if he somehow finds him there is no way to defeat Leylin, and more importantly he has no way to stop the Allied Kingdom head from snatching the egg. If he persisted he might even die today!
…
“Finally home!” At Phosphorescence Swamp, Adam, Gilbert and Emma stood behind Lita, watching the familiar surroundings with eyes full of an indescribable fondness and emotion.
“What should we do next?” Gilbert asked as both Emma and Gilbert glanced at Adam.
Adam didn’t respond as he in turn glanced at Lita. They were now treating Lita as their main pillar of strength.
After witnessing Lita strength as well as the ability of the unfathomable Lord Kilvish, the three Warlocks would not protest even if Lita used them as mere figureheads. With the yielding of these Morning Star Warlocks, the real power of the Ouroboros Clan now completely lay in Lita- no, Leylin’s hands, and his authority was even more solid than before he and Lita had left. Such a result would cause anyone to be astonished.
“The benefits from the Lava World is for all to reap, Lord Kilvish has some plans. We should focus on our enemies and the stability of the clan.” Lita shook her head as she explained her stance.
“Our Ouroboros Clan isn’t something comparable to the past, we are unafraid of external threats, and can start a new journey!” Lita stated as she gazed at the horizon, looking in the direction of Atoot Mountain. The time flows differently in Lava and Magus World, so she should make the most of the current time. knowing Leylin he would only return when he needs to. ‘There is a lot of preparation to be made for the future.’
There were few in the central continent who were unafraid of Radiant Moons. Those rank 5 Magi would not want to provoke an enemy that could contend against them. Hence, with the Ouroboros Clan supported by Leylin’s from the back and the four dukes in the front, they were definitely going to expand well.
Adam, Emma and Gilbert were aware of this fact, and their gazes towards Lita were full of hope.
“Your Graces, Adam, Gilbert and Emma, it is the fortune of our Warlock Union that the two of you could return safely!”
Within the headquarters, Lita and the other Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks were in discussion with Paul, Philip and the helpers they had called over.
The Crystal Phase Warlock, stood respectfully behind these few Morning Star Warlocks, their eyes full of indescribable emotion.
The students and clansmen of three dukes were now full of glee, and extremely grateful to Lita.
Afterwards Lita returned to Atoot Mountain, Leylin has given her authority to enter as she looked at the still working Astral gate with a mesmerizing euphoric expression and a bit of worry.
“Leylin, I hope you achieve your goals. We will try our best.” Lita muttered in her heart as she went towards the experiment lab and continue the work there.
…..
*Rumble!* Boiling sapphire flames vapourised the the surrounding magma as the Vermilion Bird appeared in a cave. The flames surrounding it was extremely scorching as the air itself was burning, slowly the figure began to shrink and a human appeared, which was none other than Leylin!
“The trick worked like a charm!” Leylin smiled as he looked at the blue flames surrounding his body, this is the results of the Matarisvan race techniques fusion with the A. I. Chip enhanced Fireplume.
Leylin has scripted the whole last scene himself, the Vermilion as well as the Adhishesha was none other than him! As for how he was at two place at the same time, this is the results of his experiment with the Ancient Forbidden Clock.
Leylin was able to create a time domain and isolated two different times image or more correctly termed Leylin Avatar to display and dispatch them at the same time. This is nothing but a high level illusion art which uses the dynamic of time, obviously the secrets of time isn’t for a mere Morning Star to unravel but the distraction is enough to confuse a Morning Star.
Leylin used the illusion to create a image of his Adhishesha form and then switched form to Vermilion and attacked his own image to eventually make a scene of running away.
This illusion is only able to confuse Morning Star mildly but a Radiant Moon could see through this, that is why Leylin used his isolating spell and cut off all connections of Archibald and Scarlet Eye with the world energy and the influence inflicted and probing conducted. This cased even them to be fooled.
There is an obvious reasons why he did it, and also why he reluctantly spared the two Rank 5’s!
“Don’t worry! You life belongs to me and I would definitely have it sooner rather than later. For now, I should go through with the long delayed ascension into the Radiant Moon ranks.”
Leylin sat cross legged and removed all of the unnecessary thoughts from his head. He has already properly prepared this place for isolation and make sure no trouble occurs.
Leylin breathed out as he immediately drived the insane amount of sentient force collected inside him. He is already at peak 5 star and has a perfectly strengthen body with insane vitality so, he wouldn’t have any usual trouble revolved around hasty breakthrough. Leylin body is more than ready to bear this rate of advancement, who would have thought that in just a small span of five to six years Leylin has already reached a bottleneck which deprived uncountable Magus.
The sentient force inside Leylin burned tremendously as the Adhishesha Serpent bloodline started raging as it began bubbling and boiling trying to absorb this energy frantically, resulting in a strange transformation. The sentient force is the energy which can take all shape and is everything as well as nothing. Advancing the bloodline, maturing it, strengthening it. Nourishing body, powering soul force, increasing any form of any attribute or even healing from any injury. It could do everything, one is only limited to their imagination. This is why Leylin give great emphasis to it and always make sure to have enough in reserve to tide through any unforseen circumstances.
The colour of Leylin’s blood grew deeper, and the phantom serpent grew silent as it was surrounded by a layer of uncoloured flames.
By now, the Adhishesha bloodline started to show it’s superior ability and its seals were unlocked. It operated and surged madly in Leylin’s body like the bluster of a gigantic dragon, turtle, tiger and vermilion stretch the limits of his body like an army invading and conquering different nations.
[Beep! Host bloodline absorbing sentient force energy. Advancement is initiated…] the A.I. Chip loyally intoned, at the same time displaying a progress bar that rose quickly with help of sentient force as it was rapidly depleting from his body. It is horrifying as to how much lives has to be taken in order to initiate this advancement.
“It’s a success!” Leylin’s lips twitched, though the tremendous pressure on his body made even such a small action difficult.
Leylin bloodline is a Rank 6 bloodline which means it would always provide help in each advancement and his rate of success would be much more favourable. Leylin just has to dig deeper into the power of his own bloodline.
Bloodline shackles restricted Warlocks to the upper limit of their base bloodline. Leylin upper limit is as high as it could be reaching the existence of touching and arriving in the realm of laws. Till he reaches Rank 6 he would not be bounded by the bloodline shackles.
Leylin success in evolving his bloodline could not break the bloodline shackles themselves. Whether it be changing bloodlines or improving his own, it would only push the bar higher. The bloodline shackles would remain, waiting to present themselves at a higher rank.
However, Leylin still had the method given to him by the Wisdom Tree. He is sure that once he possessed more strength and all the cards are aligned, he could execute his other plans.
Leylin’s soul had already fused with that of the Adhishesha Serpent, so he would not be foolish enough to try and change his bloodline again. Before he was successful because he didn’t reach Rank 4 at that time and even then, he suffered horrible injuries and has to bear terrifying ramifications.
Even if he could succeed somehow, he still caused devastating damage to his fragile soul which was only reinstated by a ridiculous amount of sentient force.
[Beep! Host body igniting ancient bloodline. Adhishesha bloodline in process of advancement. Soul force increasing! Progress: 80%… 95%… 99%…] the A.I. Chip loyally intoned.
*Rumble!* At this moment, the bloodline energy filtered, increased, refined and advanced by sentient force in Leylin’s body completely overwhelmed his soul force capacity, and the his soul force grew with greatest intensity. Terrifying sentient force fused with his bloodline and the two suddenly exploded and mixed with a great sync pushing the latter to an upper limit.
A bloodline energy that seemed as vast as the starry sky burst forth from that explosion. Leylin cried out as this burst of strength pushed it over the edge. The A.I. Chip showed that the progress bar had been completely filled!
[Beep! Host advancement complete. The host has reached Rank 5! Calculating Stats…]
The A.I. Chip’s voice sounded once more, but Leylin was unaware of this all. The moment his bloodline evolution had succeeded, he felt dizzy, his body practically floating.
A ancient terrifying giant immemorial serpent that seems to bear the whole world on its head and ruled over all life, which was over a hundreds of thousand metres long appeared behind him. It had scales which seems to hold a whole world within itself and flowing, graceful curves.
Leylin smiled as he observed his truesoul. His soul had gained the most through this advancement.
Crimson light expanded rapidly. His truesoul was now several times larger than before, half as large as the soul of a Radiant Moon Magus. The light within it even surpassed that within the soul of a New Moon Magus and almost entered Half Moon rank!
The soul had begun to expand, about to transform into a full moon.
*Hss!* The phantom of an enormous Adhishesha appeared behind Leylin, wrapping him in bloodline energy.
