...
Leylin walked silently garbed in a magnificent golden white robe as mused over the information delivered by Anna and Ivy previously.
Not long after talking with Bicky, Leylin understand that through her journey she venture outside the South Coast and entered another continent called —Western Plains.
Leylin has previously read about this part of the surface world and area wise it's approximately only a bit larger than South Coast which is remotely considered as a water body island.
Even though it's size is small it's particularly richer in resources housing dozens of Rank 3 crystal phase magus, but this area isn't enough suitable for a Morning Star Magus to grow and develop hence it's left to it's device without any interest from any major powerhouse.
Bicky could be considered as a powerhouse in such a situation as she road freely without any trouble. Unfortunately through she ca to know sothing which wasn't suitable for her to have knowledge about, sotis the biggest sin is to know more than your strength allows.
Faced with such a conundrum Bicky t a series of brutal attempts of subjugation which she deflected barely, but sothing way beyond her comprehension happened which made her rapidly flee from the Western Plains.
What happened was that she ca to know of the real backer of the organization she was clashing with, the backing was none other than a Morning Star Magus!
Bicky was scared shitless knowing of such a possibility and ran away with her dear life and retreated to South Coast eting Leylin afterwards.
Leylin himself found the situation a bit odd because to his knowledge a normal Morning Star Magus would not turn his attention to such a barren place. This could either an that there is sothing important there which attracted the attention of such a powerhouse or a Rank 4 has risen amongst the ranks of Western Plains.
Both the situation was quite amusing and piece together with the reason why Bicky was hunted Leylin send both Anna and Ivy, the ideal Morning Star who had nothing better to do. Although Leylin cannot be bothered to go, maybe these two would find sothing amusing or even a good chance for themselves.
If nothing else it would make a nice tea party story, little did Leylin knew that the rumoured item which Bicky got wind off did seem to have so actuality, and the Morning Star Magus was not soone from Central Continent.
The Rank 4 was a re Magus who advanced with an erroneous diation techniques, which ans although he was Rank 4 he wasn't able to perform the pride and prestige of a Morning Star, the pinnacle of ancient spell combination thod —Arcane Arts.
Such a Rank 4 is a wastrel in the Magus circle hosting the strength just above of a crystal phase Rank 3, even if they can Lord irresistibly in a place like Western Plains against Anna and Ivy, he is no good.
'Hmmm.. It's quite interesting that Anna and Ivy still didn't retort when I assigned more high ranking personnel there. Maybe the bad feeling they were talking about does actually have so basis and that place can be interesting.' Leylin smiled scratching his chin as suddenly his steps halted.
*Dum dum! Dum dum!* Along with the footsteps, a giant figure erged from the darkness.
It was a giant that stood tall at over three tres, with two long shafts of spears slung on its back. Complex runes covered his body, giving off a tallic lustre.
There was a grim expression on its face, as if it belonged to a dead creature. Only two scarlet rays of light were projected from its pupils.
The undead giant seem to boiest a powerful physical attack, with a high resistance to magic spells. It can led any normal Magus to despair.
*Dum dum! Dum dum!* The giant walked over as it unsheathed one of the spears on his back locking at Leylin.
*Whoosh!" The spear thrusted forward, but oddly enough, it remained hoisted in midair just before Leylin.
"Ahoooo!" The giant withdrew his spear and ramd his body, howling towards the Leylin. Very soon, he staggered half a step backwards, as if so sort of ferocious predator was in front of it.
"That little lady researcher Nina has dabbled into Branded Swordsman recently, she would love this specin."
Although it seems to be a body made of flesh and blood, there seed to be so modifications added to it. It's rather akin to a tallic bodied demon right now. Even it consciousness was wiped out, with the only defense chanism within it remaining.
Leylin stepped forward towards the giant, blue light shining from his eyes as he scanned the giant in front of it.
Leylin held onto part of the Branded Swordsman's inheritance, but it was lacking of information. Even after the simulation and conjecture from the A.I. Chip, it could only reached the strength of a rank 1 Magus, which was the previous saint knight before he got the research and bloodline samples from Beast World.
After the A.I. Chip had upgraded several tis and even added troves of information from the Great Library, it could raise the power of Branded Swordsman from rank 1 to 3. However, for Leylin who was backing of the Ouroboros Clan, these Branded Swordsman were relatively useless to him.
However, at this mont, Leylin saw the runes of Branded Swordsman on this giant and thought about Nina who made great progress in Beast World previously. Although Leylin cannot be bothered to dive in such rudintary experints, if soone is eagerly trying to strengthen his n prowess he won't mind, Leylin has so many worlds in his ranks so making the best of all worlds is the most optimum situation.
Although the style is slightly different, with modifications made on top of the new school of thought, there is no doubt the runes of Branded Swordsn can enhance the ability of the current different subordinates under him.
Just from looking at the runes and the energy that it radiated had gave one many fresh ideas and inspiration about the Branded Swordsman.
After combining the knowledge found on the continent and in the subterranean world, the A.I. Chip might be able to produce runes which can create Morning Star Branded Swordsman when this is added in the mix of bloodline knights the chances of Rank 4 erging from Beast World would increase. So far except for Lita no one in the Beast World has reach such a level, this place is the most oldest and devout to Leylin and a little reward is not bad.
"Arghhhhh!" Although the giant has discovered the powerful Leylin, the defense chanism inside its consciousness still made it reach out his hands.
Two black spears soared towards Leylin like two dragons.
*Peng!* Leylin snapped his finger and the spears stopped. As the astonishing scene was created accompanied by the aningless roar from the giant.
The two black spears that the giant hurled had been caught firmly in Leylin's in the air as if soone exchange the air with lead.
"Not bad!" Leylin gave off a regal yet mysterious aura, yet he did not seem to be a savage or tyrant as looked on without much excitent.
"Groarrr!" The giant was stupefied montarily before giving off a huge roar.
The sound waves involuntarily shook the floor. At the sa ti, black energy particles which could be seen by the naked eye surged towards the giant like water to a sponge, as the runes on the giant's body began to flicker.
"Groarrrrr!' With the howling noises made, a spell began to surface. The image of a dark creature's head appeared, baring its razor sharp fangs as it was sent flying towards Leylin.
This is the Rank 3 spell — Darkness Crunch, The spell to be missing on the continent for thousands of years.
A lost and forgotten spell need not necessarily ant that it was powerful. It could be due to not keeping up with the tis and entered natural selection. One should definitely not make the assumption that anything ancient is powerful.
The blue light in Leylin's eyes flashed and the A.I. Chip made its calculations.
Seconds later, the principle of this rank 3 spellcasting and even the spell model had been conjectured by the A.I. Chip.
With the A.I. Chip's deductions, Leylin instantly obtained the spell's model, and learnt all of its weaknesses.
A white radiance was ford at Leylin's fingertip as he stopped playing attention to the giant and flickered his fingers in the air.
Leylin's move seed to move exceedingly slowly, but sohow arrived above the monster before it could do anything. The light-tipped orb tapped the centre of the monster's skull.
"Awoo!" A bit of light shone above the monster's head, before it began to flicker and beco more dazzling.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* Like the sound of glass breaking, many cracks appeared on its head, his figure shrunk in size till it was confined in a the small orb, prisoned into the spell amidst the white light.
"Awoo…" After the monster was easily captured by Leylin, the black giant pressed with a futile resistance. In its dull, chanical eyes, traces of terror could be seen.
He let out a few aningless howls and made to escape but a few light shackles appeared in and bound him tightly in the small orb. No matter how the giant kept snarling, there was nothing he could do against these chains.
Soon after, the small orb flew in Leylin's hands, like a bug that was frozen in amber.
'A nice puppet, maybe if combined with void assassin blueprint it may beco useful.'
While it was just a short period of ti exchanging blows with him, Leylin now had an understanding of the composition of the giant.
He had evidently gone through the refining of a Branded Swordsman and had even reached a very high level. His body had already gone through elental modification and beco crystallised and sowhat translucent.
This material was the best to make magic beings. After elental modification, flesh not only retained its original defensive and offensive abilities, it could use spells without obstructions.
In just a short period of ti, Leylin could tell all that. For things on a deeper level, he would need to do more experints and dissection..
'Lets get out.' Leylin would be entering the territory of the Arthur Empire underground, and this was a massive empire. There were large numbers of other races outside, and had a surface area countless tis larger than Twilight Zone.
In the Arthur Empire, there had never been a lack of Morning Star ranks. There were even nurous Radiant Moon Magi and Breaking Dawn.
*Hualala!* Nurous pitch-black lightning ford a cage with all types of beasts roaring.
A black dot the size of sesa constantly grew in size amidst the lightning and eventually turned into a figures, dashing out while braving the lightning.
"Finally here!" Leylin shook his robes looking around with a boorish air but he was still curious about this new place.
A short distance away from these black ruins were dark hills. Lights were reflected from atop the hills, making it as dazzling as crystal. These hills had peaks made out of tal, and had at their heart a tallic castle that stood tall.
This was the Lyers Warlock Family's main base and where their headquarters was.
Thorned Thunderbird likes places where high-grade tallic ores are in the surroundings.
Leylin floated in the air, observing the large castle. He had yet to et anyone here but he didn't need to either hence he directly appear here instantly to resolve the situation.
"Co out here, Leylin Farlier, is here to greet the Lyers family!" Leylin transmitted with a thick and low voice, not bothering with the normal Warlock directly calling the Master. His voice resounded in the castle, making contact with endless spiritual force and soul force.
"Who is it?"
"What a terrifying and suppressive bloodline aura!"
"He dares take appear prudent against Lyers Family. How bold!"
Various roars mixed with spiritual force charged out, but Leylin ignored them.
These people who were a di a dozen obviously could not draw his interest. What Leylin focused on was the aura hidden deep inside the castle. This person had obviously passed through the threshold of Morning Star and entered rank 5.
Leylin floated in the air and waited for a little while. There were quite a few Warlocks with varying abilities that ca out.
Suddenly violent lightning caused the earth to rumble and mountains to break as a powerful conscient ca over.
"Who dares disturb my sleep?" Terrifying rank 5 aura was transmitted, wreaking havoc like a storm. Those Warlocks knelt down respectfully, "Grand Elder!"
A streak of lightning was like a godly sword that broke through the first floor and appeared in the air, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.
His features were characteristic of the Lyers family— Dark blue long hair, silver pupils and slightly pale skin. However, his expression was ripe with arrogance, as if nothing in the world was worth troubling himself over.
After seeing Leylin, his expression grew less intense, "A Warlock?! Why have you co to create trouble in our Lyers family? Hm, no, that aura…"
"Fellow Warlock, how about we go discuss in a remote area ?" Leylin chuckled and caress a small red bird in his hands. This bird was none other than Angar who woke up from its slumber after digesting a bit of law previously. It has already advanced to Morning Star level and Leylin wanted to test it out, that's why he draw out the head of Lyers family.
Although just at Rank 4 with the bloodline of the ancient Phoenix as well as nourishing from the law, it can still last a few rounds, Leylin didn't have much hope for it to win against an old expert with Radiant Moon Warlock strength but just a battle isn't that bad, Angar has suffered no grievance since his hatching and it's innate arrogance has been growing, although ek before Leylin. How can Leylin not understand it's subtle changes and biggest drawbacks. So Leylin wanted it to battle seriously and suffer a bit because only then would it soar.
"Co with !" The Warlock took a look at Leylin and disappeared like lightning, moving like a teor.
Leylin followed behind him, large amounts of black gas surrounding his body. He did not move urgently, but while he didn't seem fast he kept up with the Warlock with no signs of falling behind.
The Warlock ahead brought Leylin along to a large oceanic lake before stopping.
