….
In the communal center for Magi, there was a newly rented villa which had 3 floors, two of them being above ground, and also a basement.
The bedroom was on the second floor and even had an open balcony.
Bicky stood on the balcony and observed the distant scenery.
The sun was setting; the dark curtain of night gradually enveloping the surroundings.
*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*
By the side of the road, one lantern after another was being lit, extending far into the distance.
The little spots of light had an effect as they lit together, finally forming a huge body of light.
A bright — but not blinding — light flooded the entirety of the Nightless City.
Bicky looked at the scenery with no emotions present on her face, at the moment she donned a robe and looked to be ready to go somewhere. Behind her stood all 3 of the knights, giving out a chilling and detached aura.
*Ding*
Suddenly a token in Bicky’s hand released a shining light, looking at the scenario Bicky knew that someone has visited her villa.
“Let’s go, our guide is here ”
Silently all of them walked to the entrance of the mansion where a person stood with a mask.
The moment Bicky saw that person she could judge from that posture that this is a woman. She could also sense the presence of a unique demeanor around her, this is something that could only be felt by all people marked with the Seal of Lucifer.
All present there merely nodded their heads, exchanging no greetings at all.
“We should get going ” A cold monotonous voice was heard from the masked person, Hearing this Bicky confirmed that this person is a female.
“Shouldn’t we be less conspicuous?” Bicky raised an obvious question.
“All security details have been taken into account, we don’t need to waste any time ” A cold reply came from the masked person. As soon as she was done saying her bit, she turned around and started walking.
No one raised any more questions and immediately began to follow her.
…..
Bicky and her company were guided out of the city via a secret channel, looking at the path they were taking, as well as the ease with which they able to bypass any checking, Bicky knew that their Guide was quite familiar with the Dark Magi routes of Nightless city. They rode on magical mounts and set off.
After a long journey, the masked person lead them straight into a complex underground establishment.
Looking at the surroundings Bicky noticed many inscriptions and formations on the entrance and the path itself. She knew for sure that if they didn’t have this guide, there was no chance they could get inside in one piece.
As they walked in front of the entrance, Bicky saw an acquaintance standing there to welcome them.
“Lady Bicky”
“Anna, How are you? You look even more beautiful now, You really make me jealous.” Bicky smiled as dimples formed on her cheeks. As soon as Bicky’s words fell, the masked woman took off her mask revealing a beautiful face.
Anna turned towards her and greeted “Lady Lancy, thank you for your hard work”
“Anna, I have brought the thing that master asked me to, and some other resources.” Lancy nodded and stated.
Anna nodded “Please put it all in the laboratory, as I take Lady Bicky to meet Master, and brief her about her task”
After Lancy left, Anna immediately led Bicky to follow her inside the doorway. Bicky along with the 3 knights began to walk into the entrance.
Soon, they enter a throne room, it was a huge hollow room with no stylish decorations and lighting, there were a faint luminance and a calm lazy environment. it was totally empty, with no visible furniture.
At the end of the room, There was an elevation atop which a throne was positioned. Just before the elevation was a squared cavity on the ground.
On the throne sat a youngster with closed eyes, sitting in a relaxed reclining position.
Even after the newcomers’ arrival, he showed no response at all, all of them quickly walked to stand a few feet apart from the hollow cavity on the ground and kneeled.
” Hmm” Slowly he opened his eyes and gazed at the newcomers, he smiled as he noticed beads of sweat present on them along with their shaking bodies.
Since the moment they have entered the room, Leylin has not bothered with reeling in his strength. His presence and aura were like a hammer put on their chest, their breathing sounds reverberated throughout the halls. To them, his presence was like that of a ferocious beast.
“Bicky” As soon as Leylin called out her name, he also eased his presence.
“Yes, Master ” Bicky quickly replied, she didn’t even dare to look at him. This pressure shocked her, She knows his age and hence could speculate that he is probably not a Rank 2 Magus. Regardless of that his mere presence is something that she could not bear.
She knows that if Leylin wishes to kill her she could do absolutely nothing, looking at the gulf of difference between their strength put things into perspective for her, and also she was relieved that she was serving such a genius Master.
Leylin looked at her and signaled her to start retelling about her journey. As she started to report to him about the happenings he didn’t really bother to listen. Instead he kept looking at her.
‘Who would have thought you would be able to reach Rank 1 Magus level even earlier than my speculation’
1 year has passed since Leylin visited the Tyler Family, in this past year he has mostly accumulated his strength in the Wilderness and conducted various experiments.
During that time one thing that surprised Leylin was that Bicky was able to reach the Official Magus level in only 8 months. She was able to break through faster than he speculated.
Leylin had already made arrangements to ensnare Fayle into a death trap, he has used Fayle’s aura that was extracted from Bicky and set up a delayed curse on him.
This curse was activated by Fraser (One of his Leylin’s knights) after he confirmed that Bicky broke through. Not much surprise is left after that, Fayle was charmed to come into a secluded area, which became his grave.
Bicky killed him with her own hands and the Family behind Fayle labeled her as a traitor. She swiftly took to the road and left the Dark Magi region and entered into the Light Magi region under the companionship of 3 Knights.
All hunting teams tasked with her capture were swiftly dealt with.
“Master” Bicky called out in a small and almost inaudible voice, she has already relayed about her journey but Leylin didn’t give any response.
“Hmm, you have done well. Anna will inform you about your next task. You can go ” Leylin waved her away.
As soon as she left, Freed bowed and spoked “Master, I have followed your command and gave those things to her before departing”
Leylin waved him away too, he noticed that Anna is still here ” I already know that Lancy has brought the items, go and make arrangements for Bicky and inform her about the next assignment ”
Leylin has sent Lancy to the Nightless city way before his departure, he gave her a huge amount of Magic Crystals too, with that she bought elemental crystals to increase her strength first.
Leylin knows that for things to get done, an appropriate level of strength must be reached so he felt no regrets in expending so much.
After she has reached semi-converted elemental Magus, She approached the old witch (The Dark Magus who wanted to sacrifice Leylin to save her daughter) that he told her about and joined the Dark Magi cult behind her.
After he came here, he gave her the orders to propose the offer of sharing Tears of Mary with her. The Old witch has to provide the most important raw materials, the vengeful spirits, and take all the risks while Lancy makes the potion and takes 70% of the successful products.
As her daughter’s condition was deteriorating she has no other choice but to accept. Lancy will then transferred all the ingredients to Leylin.
She already told the Old witch that the potion will be prepared by someone else, with her guarantee in an oath that she will transfer 30% of the potion, the Old Witch agreed. This is the first batch of potions delivered to him.
“I will take the potions now, I don’t have much time left anyways”
Subconsciously Leylin looked at the A.I.Chip interface.
[Beep! Bloodline Transition will commence in 10 Days!]
Due to using Bloodline crystals coupled with his refining. His body has already reached the state for The Bloodline Transition before the estimated time.
