…
Leylin circulated the Gravitational Field under his foot as he moved forward at an amazing speed splashing two jets of water behind his track. Leylin carried Ordell and kept moving forward without stopping.
‘Demon King Apollyon… ‘ Leylin muttered his name with a frown visible over his otherwise indifferent face.
Apollyon is one of the two Demon Kings in the Fourth Demon area.
In the Fourth Demon Area, there are two Demon Kings, named Apollyon and Chemosh.
Both of them are considered nigh-invincible in the Endless Sea. Their demon powers are unfathomable and infinite. It is said that they are both on the verge of stepping into the True God realm.
From what Leylin knew both demons and dark dwellers of the Sevenfold Underworld can cultivate! But, whether it be the demons or the dark dwellers, the powers they gather are different than warriors.
The demons live in the Demon Area and they absorb natural demon energy. The dark dwellers, living in the Sevenfold Underworld, absorb natural dark energy. Demon energy and dark energy are like the natural spirit energies warriors have here. There are also clusters of these energies that exist in this world. Other than demons and dark dwellers, there are also some foreign clans in the Endless Sea, who also cultivate in spirit energies that are different than orthodox cultivators. But be it the demon energy, dark energy, or spirit energies, they are all different kinds of natural powers. The cultivation of warriors, no matter what spirit energies, are mostly the same…
The Demon King and the Alaister family had much history and hatred between each other. Back in the day, the head of the Alaister family, Alaister Abaddon, brought powerful warriors from the family into the Fourth Demon Area. They killed a Demon Master in the Fourth Demon Area.
The Demon Master killed by then was under the command of the Demon King Apollyon! In the Fourth Demon Area, there are four Demon Masters. Two of which follow the Demon King Chemosh, and two of whom are devoted followers of the Demon King Apollyon. Alaister Abaddon killed one of Apollyon’s Demon Masters, so of course Apollyon would go against the Alaister family.
‘The truly scary thing was that, even when dealing with someone at the caliber of Yamaduti, Apollyon didn’t had to ascend himself rather what he used was just an avatar.’
Previously the giant white skeletal hand which has caused this much chaos was actually only one of the three Skeletal Avatars of Apollyon.
Although the Skeletal Avatars are pieces of Apollyon, they’re not his main body. His original body has always been in the Cave of a Thousand Demons. He won’t easily come out. If that were really the main body of Demon King that attacked them, they would have no chance to escape!
Only a hand of one of the Skeletal Avatars was able to cause so much movement in the Endless Sea. It ripped through space, and directly grabbed Yamaduti.
If it were the Demon King himself, how much power would that be? For an ordinary warrior, after seeing the invincible power of the Demon King Apollyon, it would probably leave an everlasting shadow in his mind. Let alone daring to think about the Demon King, maybe they would’ve been occasionally affected by the shadow in their mind while cultivating, and would never be able to get rid of that shadow.
But who was Leylin! His mind was as solid as stone, how can a God be fearful of such adversary!
Not only was he not afraid, instead, his monstrous will and excitement was activated.
‘To have such powerful clones, my assumption that Spirit Realm Warriors are equivalent to Morning Star Magus isn’t baseless. And if I am not wrong, this Demon King who’s at the Peak of Spirit Realm is a rather strong one at even that… Although I am not a battle crazed manic, it’s truly exhilarating!’
Days and nights passed, as Leylin moved forward monotonously.
“Berk—Young Maste…” Suddenly, a woman’s soft whisper came from his embrace.
Leylin kept his eyes forward without a flinch in his expression.
“Finally decided to wake up.. ”
Ordell’s eyes were filled with confusing and listlessness stared at him.
“You saved me.. ”
“Obviously, I don’t know anything about Endless Sea. If you die who would be my guide.” Leylin was relaxed and spoke indifferently as if saving her or her good grace means nothing to him.
Ordell’s expression changed a little, and she even pouted for a mere second which disappeared immediately after, as if an illusion. She tried to struggle off Leylin’s hold.
Her petite body then rubbed on Leylin chest, as she wiggled.
“Don’t move.” Leylin lowered his gaze looking straight into her eyes.
The dark unfathomable tranquillity in Leylin’s eyes stunned Ordell immediately.
In just an instant, her pale face blushed as bright as an apple.
Ordell was so shy.
Being the pride of the Omega Family, she had diligently trained from a young age.
For these years, she had devoted herself to training, and never took any interest in a man.
However, today she was leaning on this man, whom she thought of as an enigma as well as admired.
Yes, admired! Ordell can’t help but reluctantly agree despite her pride that she really admired Berkan, who was such a talented genius. She couldn’t help but keep stealing glances of him back when they were travelling together on Cyan Blood Bats for six months.
She was astonished to see Leylin being so diligent about cultivation despite being so strong, and despite his extremely young age, so less cultivation time and little resources still acquire such a high cultivation. Leylin also didn’t carry the toxic traits of arrogant young masters of her generation.
Although one could clearly see his demeanor that oozes confidence and strength, he still had a personality which was indifferent yet admirable.
He was an enigma, a riddle that seem extremely deep. His tall posture seem like able to lift the weight of heavens, his broad back radiating security, and indestructible in spite of whatever obstacles put before him. He seemed like an immovable mountain in such a chaotic world.
And more importantly, she witnessed his true strength which was something that even she with her temporary Sky Realm cultivation couldn’t decipher.
“Who and what are you?”
Staring at Leylin, Ordell’s cheeks turned more and more red, and the pace of her breaths quickened.
Leylin’s expression turned soft, and his eyes were smiling, “I am no one and nothing, I am someone and everything..Your perception of me is a reflection of you…my reaction to you is an awareness of me. Lady Ordell, I must ask a favor you to not disclose anything about me. Can you do that?”
Ordell fell into silence after listening to his word, “Don’t worry Young Master Berkan, you have saved my life, and twice even at that. I would definitely repay this kindness.”
Ordell said solemnly and vowed, but as she uttered ‘twice’ she carefully observed his expression. Ordell was referring to the time when she fought with Elrod in Merchant Union and was injured and unconscious. She was eventually saved by a mysterious person who kept her safe in a secret location away from the detection of Crystal Family, even made a deal about the Gate of Heaven map.
She had an inkling that it was none other than Leylin who was behind all this, but she was confused as well.
How did he knew of the Yin Field, Dead Swamp as the location of God Area when he didn’t connect the two halves.. Was he responsible for gathering all of the Yin and weakening Nine-headed Sky Snake!?
Was he responsible for gathering everyone there as well?how much and to what extent did he plan? if he did all that he was definitely an extremely dangerous and calculating person!
But Ordell shook her head thinking till there, it’s impossible for him to do all this. It must the arrangements of the deceased Star God who created all this farce, yet after witnessing his prowess she was unable to think clearly.
Leylin smiled at her response and didn’t think much of it. His expression revealed nothing as if a mist of confusion was veiled over like an impenetrable barrier between him and whoever wanted to understand him.
Obviously Leylin has his plans he won’t let anyone squander him and be a threat to his future, but Ordell is one of target for his future subordinate, her talents is something which is definitely worth nurturing. Leylin was also very curious about her Reincarnation Martial Spirit and he could guess that it uses not only end at temporarily gaining a higher realm.
If his guess was right she could possibly also use the memories of her old incarnation and it’s own previous understanding of realm, upanishads and profoundness of universe to increase her current realm. If this were to be true, she would be exact opposite of Leylin who had abundant Profound Qi but needed understanding or epiphany of realm to advance and breakthrough while she on other hand only lacked Profound Qi accumulation!
Leylin don’t know about the future since this is just an assumption but currently she would be very useful. As for later, he would think of that then.
“Hmm!” At that moment Leylin let out a smile looking forward, “We can get some rest now!”
On an isolated island.
The island was small about the size of a large soccer field, and the air around it was humid. There were no living things in sight, except for some small trees.
In the immeasurable Endless Sea, this isolated island was too small.
Carrying Ordell to this island, Leylin sighed.
Putting her down, Leylin looked around while Ordell was at his side, tired and lifeless.
Some walking around for a bit Leylin turned and looked at her, and then said, “You can rest properly now. It must have been uncomfortable before.”
Ordell’s expression changed and a warm light crossed her eyes.
“I am fine, it would take a while to heal, but how are you? You haven’t rested at all and have been using so much of you Profound Qi.” Ordell went silent.
“I am also fine.”
“You shouldn’t push yourself so much.”
Leylin nodded, a beaming smile on his face, “I’m really fine, although I am at my limit I can still walk around. But what’s the matter with you?”
After quite a while, Ordell said, “I hope that’s the truth.”
“It is and don’t worry, you are not a burden to me at all. I quite need your assistance to reach Alaister family.”
Ordell sighed. “Yeah, as I am right now I will need at least three months to recover. I was also seriously hurt this time, so I need at least three days to soothe my Profound Qi.”
“Ok, focus on stabling your Profound Qi then, and I will go prepare some food.” Leylin nodded, then looked up at the sky, “I will also take a rest first, then I will go in search for something to eat.”
Then Leylin took a deep breath, sat down in fatigue, and began to operate his Profound Qi.
Ordell stayed on the beach, laying on her left side. Her long legs looked quite appealing.
In meditation, Leylin now looked as stable as a mountain as Ordell couldn’t help but stare at him.
‘What am I doing!?’ Immediately she snapped in embarrassment and started to regain her chaotic Profound Qi stability.
Before long, Leylin came back with a bunch of tree branches in his arms, he lit the branches with the fire stone and began to roast the fish.
The scent of meat wafted through the air.
“Hungry? Then have something to eat.” Leylin smiled, turned a fish over, and handed it to Ordell.
“Thank you, Young Master Berkan.” Ordell grabbed the fish.
Just then, her stomach began to growl loudly as she blushed.
On a deserted island in the ocean.
Having grilled fish to eat, lightened both Leylin’s and Ordell’s moods.
Especially Ordell, whose face became much warmer as soon as the grilled fish entered her stomach.
They then discussed about the previous fight ad Leylin asked her a few questions about Demon King Apollyon.
After Leylin ate his fill, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly stood up looking at a particular spell displaying on the A. I. Chip interface.
[Shapeshifting spell (Modified), able to the change the height and appearance of a person, even the energy waves radiation!]
‘I think it would be better for me to change my appearance, it attracts too much attention otherwise. A 17 year old boy being as strong as Sky Realm experts, not to mention other troubles that might follow. It best be cautious.’
“Better be safe than sorry, you can’t be sure of the danger!” Leylin nodded to himself and chanted an incantation.
Along with the chanting noise, Leylin’s face took on a morphing process. His eyes became larger, his lips paler, his hair changed colour, as if a totally different person. Even his height increased by a few inches.
Shapeshifting spell is rather lower level spell in Magus World but due to difference in power system and different way of energy, it’s was not very adaptable to Grace Mainland.
There was various ways even in Grace Mainland to disguise and with his modifications Leylin could perfect them but after his Petrification Martial Spirit into Purple Red realm, it could even be manipulated to shapeshift his appearance.
Leylin’s Marital Spirit managed to reach the requirements for the A.I. Chip to make modifications to it.
“It’s done!” Leylin looked at his reflection in the sea.
Leylin changed into blonde male with well defined muscles, absolutely no Profound Qi radiation, he had a special quality, which gave people strong-minded, direct, and fierce impression.
Ordell glanced at him a few more times, and then said, “The look you have right now is very contradicting from your usual character, it seems to display an arrogant and despicable nature!”
Leylin was stunned. He didn’t find it strange that Ordell didn’t ask her about his physical changes because disguise and different ways to implement it is nothing special, but obviously Leylin’s shapeshift was rather peculiar it could even affect his Profound Qi. But she obviously refrained from clearing her doubts, everyone had their secrets.
Leylin couldn’t help but complain, “Are you complimenting or insulting me?”
*Giggle*
