Leylin departure this time was very low-profile. By the time someone realised it, they’d already lost his tracks.
Leylin has been hustling in the central continent for quite some time and has almost reached the limits of this zone, after a bit of thinking he decided to ultimately take a tour back to Twilight Zone and South Coast. There were some unfinished business as well as games to be collected there.
A tremendous volcano thundered and bellowed, as if a giant from the legends launching a flaming iron fist into the skies.
Lava fell like rain, forming rivulets that flowed together to become a network of rivers.
The black volcano towered high into the sky, looming over the region just like the clouds and causing the skies and the ground to turn dark.
The lava glowed red, flickering between dark and bright. The scene was magnificent, a rose amidst the thorns.
“Wow! This is so big.. Look Angar! it exploded!” Emilia jumped in excitement as she pointed at the gushing lava, in her embrace was Angar(Phoenix Chick) who quietly looked around the world with his big eyes.
Leylin looked at the jumping girl with a soft smile and turned his gaze to the volcano, “This is Mount Asura! This is where I entered the central continent, it’s been such a long time. Since then I have never come back…”
“Oh! But how did come from here, is there any gate?” Emilia asked looking at Leylin confused, she couldn’t fathom that Leylin actually travelled through that very river of lava.
“You will know soon.” Leylin’s eyes were filled with a certain profoundness. The events that brought him to the central continent and the people and his history with Twilight Zone became incomparably vivid once more.
“Master, we have already stabilized the teleportation channel we can simply go there through..” A beautiful voice worried sounded.
“No this experience would be good for Emilia, it would broaden her horizon, with me here there is no problem. Let’s go!” Leylin looked around for a mere moment and commanded, behind him stood the two charming beauties Anna and Ivy.
Leylin has decided to leave the central continent for a while taking a vacation and return to Twilight Zone. In this journey he choose Anna and Ivy to return with him and obviously he took Emilia and Angar. This journey would be an eye opening experience for his disciple, although Leylin has taught her almost nothing because of his busy schedule but he still regarded her highly.
Leylin next journey is very vast, paramount and troublesome, it won’t matter much if he decides to dedicate some of his time relaxing, teaching her and also to enjoy himself, quite in fact it would do him only benefits.
‘There is also the body of Scorpion Man, as well as the blood of the protector of the Icy World!’ Leylin’s thoughts drifted to the contents of the Icy Cave.
The remains of a Morning Star level bloodline creature meant nothing to Leylin, and wasn’t important enough in his list of priority for him to go personally, but the bloodline of that bronze female giant wasn’t so simple.
That was a bloodline that crossed rank 7, one that had already begun to touch upon laws! In front of that, the current Leylin was like a moth drawn to the flame. Whether it be refining the ancient bloodline into an imprint or trying to assimilate it, either one of these actions would be extremely helpful to him.
“Mount Asura will be dormant for a period of time every hundred years, which makes it the best time to go underground right now!” Leylin said as he recalled the time he had come up from the subterranean world. While he had grasped the right timing and prepared well, as well as used the Beast World treasure but it was still a bit dangerous. He could not help but smile slightly at that.
He came to the crater of the volcano with them, and observed the terrifying lava channel.
“Look here Emilia, The volcano in Mount Asura is filled with boiling hot lava all year round, and only when it’s dormant will a channel show itself. It’s still not time yet… even if a Crystallised Phase Magus were to charge down there, they would be burnt to smithereens.…”
“Really?” Emilia gasped, these months Freya has taught her many subject including etiquette, Magus World tradition, importance of rational mindset, the Magus system, the division of power, geography, basic experimental studies, history, the difference between the various stage etc. Although Emilia is still not much clear about these things but she is a smart girl and could mildly understand the meaning behind them, for eg. The beautiful and strong big sister Freya is also a Crystallised Phase Magus!
“Yeah but of course, that was for rank 3 Magi. After one reaches the Morning Star realm, what should have been horrifying and dangerous was as safe and stable as the garden in his backyard.” Leylin said with a sneer as Emilia looked at him with reverence and worship in her ruby red eyes. Although she didn’t really understand how strong her teacher is but according to Freya, her teacher is the greatest genius in the whole central continent with top tier strength greatly surpassing the Sovereign like Morning Star Magus level.
Leylin smiled looking at her reaction, and looked behind himself neither Anna nor Ivy needs even a bit of assistance during this travel hence he enveloped only the two kids, Angar and Emilia in his energy veil.
*Rumble!* A layer of black flames appeared on the surface of Leylin’s body, forming an oval layer that wrapped him and the two within. A black bubble parted the lava, quickly disappearing into the depths…
The terrifying heat from the lava was absorbed by the black flames, blocking all from Leylin ,Emila and Angar who was contained within. The truth is that flame of this level isn’t really able time harm Angar and even through the pressure may trouble it but it won’t be in mortal danger even still Emilia herself would never let him go.
As time passed, the black bubble endured the spurts of lava to head straight down.
Right before the eyes of Emilia, he was withstanding a natural disaster on his own and going through the lava against the current. Even Mount Asura erupting could do little against him.
This was the power of a Magus above Morning Star!
*Boom!* In the subterranean world, large amounts of magma flew out of a pool, accompanied by tremors. A bubble of black flame burst through the thick, durable rocks at the top and fell to the ground. Leylin’s and other figures appeared once more as he withdrew the flames.
The lake of lava burst apart, revealing Anna and Ivy figure, they were just behind him looking expressionlessly at his cuff. There, the lava had impressively burnt a round hole creating a cavity around them, leaving a mark.
Seeing the dark sky and the stifling rock ceiling, Leylin sighed, “Twilight Zone, I’m back!”
Feeling the large difference in the concentration between the central continent and this place, Leylin shook his head and asked, “Emilia can you sense anything wrong with here?”
“Wrong? I don’t know it’s just the surrounding feels weaker than before and there is also something similar to the Clan.” Emilia scratch her head as she replied unsure, behind her Anna and Ivy looked shocked. They knew that Emilia isn’t a Magus she hasn’t even started mediating but yet she has such accurate sense about the surrounding and elemental particles!
“Yes that feeling from the surrounding is elemental particles, You see the reason why Morning Stars pay no attention to this place is because the elemental particle concentration is so low here. And the feeling about the Clan resemblance is actually darkness particles which is quite dense here similarly like our clan territory.” Leylin explained with a smile, Emilia has a very strong spirit and her ability to sense minute changes are extremely mighty.
“Compared to the central continent, this place was like the barren countryside, if even that. The restriction of a low particle concentration would reduce the might of any spells used here by a large amount.” Leylin said as they slowly walked ahead in a leisure pace instead of flying instantly, Leylin patted Emilia head and continued to teach her and she listen with an extremely serious express which only promoted Leylin to pinch her adorable cheeks.
Morning Stars cared little for this place, and regular Magi had no way to pass through the lava channel. Hence, Twilight Zone still retained its own path, and the influence from the external world was minimal up till Leylin’s arrival.
One sweep of his soul force and the surroundings were displayed in his mind. He is the true ruler of Twilight Zone and although he didn’t pay much attention to this place, he was still somewhat familiar with the general area. He knew where he was instantly.
‘As expected the darkness creatures tide is near but it seems Dexter is already prepared fully and a bit of interesting things have also transpired.’ Leylin touched his chin as he felt plenty of numerous Rank 3s.
Here, even rank 2 Magi could be considered the rulers, while rank 3 were the emperors. Morning Star? There hadn’t been one in years.
“Where are we going now Teacher?”
“We would currently head to Nature Alliance Academy which is the Institute under us, there is various interesting things here including different races like dark elves, genome etc. Some people are waiting for us, let’s pick up the pace or else or would take months to reach there with your baby steps.” After he determined the direction, Leylin’s body turned into a streak of light taking Emilia with him as he flied towards the headquarters of the northern Nature’s Alliance academy.
