“Master, here..” Freed glanced at him, with looks of expectation on his faces.
“You did good stationing the Void Assassin puppets here.” Leylin looked around casually and commented.
Leylin flicked his hands ripping out some sort of veil and four translucent void assassins emerged bowing to Leylin. He glanced at them and faintly waved his hand, the assassins immediately vanished into the void again.
Possessing rank 3 limit strength and with the addition of this kind of ability to go through the void, void assassins were almost invincible existences in the south coast.
These are the spoils of war from his expedition of Scarlet Ruins, the place where he met with Wisdom Tree. Obviously these were nothing especial for him hence he granted them to Lita who also after advancing quickly the peak of Morning Star ultimately decided to transport them to other places via the teleportation array for security.
“We dare not be careless, Many of our men came to inspect this area including Lady Nina but even if we concluded its arrangements and use, the actual implication wasn’t fruitful.”
“This is far beyond their skill set, there is nothing to be ashamed about.” Leylin though wasn’t paying attention, mesmerised by the large patterns on the ground.
‘A.I. Chip, conduct scan!’ he immediately commanded.
[Beep! Mission established, beginning scan!] The A.I. Chip’s mechanical voice echoed, and there was a response soon after.
[Ancient combined sealing spell formation! Already discovered technique: Annihilating runes, dimensional seal, powerful isolation…]
The building complex here is a part of the large sealing spell formation, and the core is right here.
Leylin looked at the ground. The complicated patterns began to move around, as if they had a life of their own.
Leylin lifted his head, “This is an entrance to the subterranean world’s first layer, but it’s been sealed”
Freed looked at Leylin with a respectful expression. At first when they discovered this place and it’s uncountable riches obviously the first course of action was to excavate it but after Leylin ordered to act otherwise they stopped any action.
Even still they kept researching and with their huge organization and it’s gigantic library they’d still had to flip through many antique books before they could know, and could faintly understand the reason behind his orders.
Ever since the ruins appeared the seal was slowly been lifting. No matter what methods they would think of or deploy, they would be unable to stop this process.
If they acted rashly and lotted the entire Eternal River pocket dimension which has been completely developed for several hundred years, then the seal would fall into an extremely fragile state.
With most of the remains been destroyed and the fact, the entire Eternal River pocket dimension is a part of this seal. The Magus who set up this pocket dimension had long before installed the time when the pocket dimension would appear, he deployed a method to use Magi greed and sped up this process artificially.
Until the point, where the breaking of the entire seal was already something that’s unavoidable. Thinking about such an situation Freed back was drenched in cold sweat.
Although the subterranean world was rich in resources, with the violent invasion of the ancient Magi many of the tribes there didn’t have a favourable impression of humans. Although humans remained there, after so many years would they side with the humans or the subterranean world? The latter possibility was more likely.
The subterranean world was vast and boundless, and wasn’t lacking in powerful Morning Stars even in the first layer. There should even be rank 5 or more stronger existences there.
Twilight Zone was only a very small part of this first layer, just like how the south coast was just a part of the surface world. Furthermore, even in spite of its long isolation, there were many terrifying tribes there.
Towards the viciousness of the underground tribes and their hatred towards humans, he who had the reference of historical books knew even more clearly.
Once they were attacked and occupied, probably not just Magi, even ordinary humans would face extinction.
Thus, it wasn’t hard to understand why Freed and others released a sigh of relief knowing that the seal would not wither away any time and Leylin would visit personally to deal with it.
“Freed I would work it out from here! Pass down my command, seal this area, I don’t want any disturbance.” After he finished calculating, Leylin stroked his chin and said to Freed.
RebelHeart only has rank 3s, they are small and weak like ants before the mighty underground tribes. Naturally, they would not wish to see them infiltrate the surface and threaten their positions.
But Leylin was different! He was already a rank 6 warlock! His military strength was outstanding and the underground world’s first layer was also the weakest underground world, he totally had the premise of associating equally with the underground powerhouses! The strongest possible adversary for him is King Arthur who is not only a peak Rank 6 but also an old erudite existence but Leylin with his current power is very confident to defeat him. Obviously a frontal confrontation isn’t something he seek currently, since even if he is not fearful, a fight would bring him no benefit.
Leylin at the Peak of Rank 6 and as someone who touched the powers of law would get no benefits from fighting someone like that, quite in fact even killing him would be not much useful for gathering sentient force because the amount is pitiful compared to the power of law. And who knows maybe the law being behind him, the real master of the layers would be offended, although it’s very unlikely that someone at that level would remotely be bothered by an ant but who can say they would not act.
But with the underground world’s rich mineral resources, their legacy that had been passed down from the ancient times and the entirely different spell system, they could definitely bring Leylin great benefits.
Not just himself, even if it were other Morning Star existence in the central continent, once they knew about this passageway, they probably would not choose to seal it too.
After hearing Leylin give his order, Freed nodded and turned away.
A Blazing Sun light screen enveloped the entire central hall with a buzz. White radiance was emitted in all directions, isolating it from the outside world.
“Let’s go to the other side.” The blue radiance in Leylin’s pupils flickered, as his burning soul force enveloped the sealing formation.
Leylin had already drawn out a blueprint regarding the development of the Ouroboros Clan in his mind. The expansion of the entire Ouroboros Clan in the central continent had already reached its limits and since he doesn’t intend to claim the whole surface world until he reaches Rank 7, there is nothing more to develop.
Area expansion is done with a purpose which is only expanding influence and gathering resources but with Leylin control over multiple world, there is not only lack but rather a surplus of resources.
Although the elemental particles environment in the south coast was not much, towards warlocks that relied mainly on bloodline force, the influence in this aspect was much smaller than Magi.
Moreover, the entire central continent had not yet connected to the underground world’s passageway, what was discovered occasionally, were just a few totally sealed miniature underground space like that of the Twilight Zone.
Once a passageway that connects to the entire underground world was developed, even simply controlling trade between the two places would bring about huge benefits, enough to allow the Ouroboros Clan to make a rapid development.
Leylin stroked his chin, there was even a radiance constantly flickering in his pupils.
When the spell link the South Coast with the ancient underground layer, as long as they occupy here, the profits gained by the Ouroboros Clan would definitely not a little bit less than the Monarch of the Skies that has control over the entire central continent’s airship network.
“A.I. Chip! Export spell formation layout!”
[Beep! Mission established, beginning coordination with supplementary assignment…] The A.I. Chip’s sound was as mechanical as usual, without the slightest emotions in it.
A complicated yet detailed formation diagram was rapidly exported from the A.I. Chip’s database and was being projected by fluorescent light onto the hall’s floor.
The spell formation diagram illustrated by the fluorescent light combined with the original patterns on the floor harmoniously, forming a brand new formation.
[Beep! Separating black hole spell formation deduction setup completed, estimated rate of success 98.99%!] The A.I. Chip sounded again.
“Nice!” A small fragment of uncountable small dazzling lights spread from Leylin hands, spreading out evenly onto the ground at the position where the fluorescent light had originally shone.
With Leylin’s current alchemy grand master’s academic achievements and the A.I. Chip’s fine and detailed assistance, the entire setting up of the spell formation proceeded very smoothly and was thoroughly completed in a matter of minutes.
The entire spell formation continuously rumbled with a buzz, streaks of silver radiance rippled on the ground.
[Beep! Spell formation energy operating normally! Compatibility of connection 91.673%!]
Large amounts of data floated across Leylin’s eyes, he could not help but nod secretly, “Good!”
If Leylin had to just destroy the channel or seal it then it’s all too easy with his current powers but he needed to properly control and stabilize it. Leylin knew that from the other side the Magus were using blood ritual continuously to weaken the seal but the pathway should only be under his command.
“Subterranean World….” Leylin took in a deep breath. “A.I. Chip!”
[Open up the connection assignment, attempting to establish a spatial link, searching coordinates!] Accompanying the A.I. Chip’s sound, the patterns on the ground suddenly changed, its circulating speed was continuously increasing.
Faint silver light emerged, undulating in mid-air, even slowly forming into a state of a semicircular arched door.
Opposite the arched door, was a patch of thick darkness and a mirror-like radiance was constantly emitted.
“You guys guard here, no matter who comes, kill them all!” Leylin said softly to the void assassins staring straight at the arched door.
….
Central Continent.
*Bzzz Bzzz!* Not long after Leylin’s started his work in the core region of eternal plains, some commotion erupted in central continent as a chase began.
Space began to ripple as it twisted on itself, forming a door flickering with light.
A few human figures walked out, their bodies emanating terrifying energy undulations. Seeing the mountain that had turned to ashes, they sighed, “She is very cautious and slippery.”
A figure stood above in the air and tightened his fist, but could only shake his head helplessly, “She is well deserving of her fame not even leaving a behind any trace of her trails. It’s impossible to catch up to her.”
“Prophetic spells are useless against her too. Are we really going to let her go? She is very important for the bargain we must capture her. ”
The few black figures began to discuss amongst themselves.
“The Warlocks has ushered into a new era. Even if the Monarch of Blood is not here, their collective force is not to be underestimated. It took us a lot of work to get a small information about her travel schedule if we lose this then..”
“Don’t worry since they have send us off to catch her they would definitely be able to intercept her trails.”
*Buzzz*
“Crystal Clairvoyancel!” One of the green robed figures looked solemn as he detected one of his imprint dazzling with light as beads of snow like substance emerged at his fingertips.
The bead exploded and a translucent mirror with foreign images suddenly flahsed before his eyes, revealing a blurred scenery.
After carefully analyzing this mirror, the green-robed figure seemed excited as he spoke to another Magus behind him, “I have received the information…I am sending you the date, it’s up to you, you’re the most adept in this aspect.”
“Understood!” He stood before the screen, right arm as pale and bright as it went through the surface, grabbing hold of a the scenery inside.
*Wooh wooh…* After this stream of gas appeared, the magic equipment on the bodies of these people displayed a dazzling luster and made noises.
“Found It! She is very good to be able to make us work so much, Let’s go before we lose the trails again. It would be very hard to use this method repeatedly.” The leading Magus spoke with conviction.
