South Coast.
Leylin was standing before the arched door as he made a few last minutes arrangements. After preparing his backup plan, Leylin swished his robes and was about to enter the arched door in mid-air, the icy membrane rippling but suddenly his steps halted as he remained unmoving with a slightly arched eyebrow.
“*Tsk* What timing, I guess they couldn’t wait huh?” Leylin stretched his neck clearly displeased from the interruption, he looked at the operating formation waving his hands sealing it instantly.
“I will get you later subterranean world, let me first deal with some nuisance.” Leylin muttered to himself as his figure disappeared like a specter. Just now, he have received an alert from his bloodline and after a quick investigation he found that this originated from Lita and he immediately understood the reason. Leylin was already aware of the evil intention that some harboured against him but he didn’t really care much.
First of all, he wasn’t in any type of trouble personally and he also thought that it would not start so suddenly. This swift turn off events was a bit odd but obviously not out of expectations.
Since, Leylin already had a foreboding he informed Lita and Lancy about the situation who took swift actions in regards to countermeasures.
It was Lita herself who leaked information about her travel away from the headquarters which prompted the schemers out. But for them to attack the Headquarters cutting off the paths of helpers, and Fiery World at a moment notice was a bit unexpected.
This coordination and swift series of decisive actions means that a few Monarch are very determined to cut off Leylin wings and pressure him.
This was a very good plan but unfortunately this is nothing more than a slight inconvenience, because nothing is out of sorts and out of sight.
‘All that needs to be done is to demolish the sad little momentum they think they possess and also find a outlet for venting.’ Leylin thought indifferently, he can’t be bothered to deal with the Monarch because it’s not as easy as it may seem. Every Monarch has a base of his own, as they conquered a world and their main body mostly resides there never to come out unless something noteworthy happens.
Leylin can obviously invade their worlds and launch a direct frontal attack but such an action would embroil the whole central continent in a dark era of stormy blood bath.
A battle against them means a drawn out war which may wage for years and after that he would have to rearrange the new lands and resources, plugging out the troublemaker and rebels, promoting some to supervise and spread the already somewhat thin manpower. All in all a big pain in the butt!
To Leylin, the world’s of the Monarch are not bad but also not very attractive, what he desire are higher level worlds not those. And even if he successfully dethrone them and eradicate them making the whole Magus community his enemy in return what he get is nothing much, Leylin would have to waste years and years of his time.
For him, the alure of comprehending law is far more higher than dealing with them. If and when he becomes a law being they would be groveling at his feet anyways.
*Sheesh*
In the headquarters of RebelHearts, the lower most chamber is a forbidden zone as only a few key figures are allowed entry inside. In here there is always a powerful Rank 3 expert standing guard at all times, this is all because this is where the teleportation array is placed. Years after Leylin left through the teleportation array in Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect, the teleportation array was replaced from that place to the headquarters for better surveillance, smooth working and protection.
Suddenly a gust of wind appeared in the dark closed core room as the guard inside was alarmed shouting, “Who?”
“It’s me!” Leylin figure morphed into being, his body was devoid of any type of undulation but the protector didn’t for once doubted his legitimacy, in the South Coast who else apart from Leylin can directly come here without any trouble or obstruction. For the guard, maybe the two unfathomable ladies who came with him and left immediately could do that too but obviously none of them are people he can afford to offend.
“Your Majesty!”
“You are Kyle huh, I would need you to immediately start the operation— Sigma Great Teleportation Array!” Leylin looked at the old protector and knew that he was one of the beast tamers who were awarded a magic equipment from him, he didn’t waste anytime and immediately gave his command.
“… Yes Your Majesty!” Kyle was momentarily shocked, as an array travel controler he has considerable reputation, power and obviously he knows all the different command including the one Leylin issued, knowing it’s meaning he had a momentarily lapse of hesitation but looking at Leylin he threw that out of the window and immediately started the array.
When Leylin gives a command then it’s not something people like him can intercept, even the managing director of the Rebelhearts would be informed later in face of Leylin orders. Nothing and no one is remotely near the level of authority and respect that Leylin commands from all of his followers, servants, subordinates etc.
Sigma Great Teleportation Array is a specific set of command which governs, combines to regulate a series of teleportation arrays in a specific pathway. This particular one means a direct connection from the channel in South Coast to Twilight Zone one near Potter Town, then it would connect to the other corner of Twilight Zone near the Mount. Asura, then from there is the surface of Central continent which would later be followed by half a dozen of long distance teleportation from Mt. Asura to the base of Ouroborus clan. For a travel which should be as long as a few years, or months even for Morning Star it has been shorten to a moment of mere minutes.
Such a teleportation array would roughly cost more than that of billions of magic crystals, such a huge sum even a Morning Star would go bank corrupt and only those with the highest order of authority can enable these teleportation protocols, but even such a huge sum for Leylin is nothing much. More importantly he would charge the opposing Monarch many times more so it’s no sweat.
“All set Your Majesty!” The teleportation array rippled with a silver spatial turbulence glow as the magic essence burned at an unbelievable rate.
….
“So this is the legendary Kemoyin Emperor bloodline?” Amore expression turned grim, he had a few injuries on his body.
“Yes! but no matter the cost, She must be captured today! I have a bad feeling about this let’s deal with her quickly!” The Radiant Moon Magi Leader Peter roared, listening to Lita mentioning Leylin brought a bad premonition to him and he wanted to deal with the situation immediately. He used their soul force to open a communication channel, and made a decision in practically an instant. It was at this moment that a large black serpent attacked them again.
A crimson crescent of an energy blade shot out from the giant serpent phantom’s stomach, heading straight for Randy.
“It’s an attack from a piece of high-grade magic equipment!” Their expressions changed, and Randy quickly retreated, his innate defensive spells flickering into existence. The undulations of energy from middle-grade magic equipment burst forth, fighting against the crimson blades of light.
The crimson blades only dissipated after three pieces of middle-grade magic equipment exploded in quick succession, revealing a Randy who looked deathly pale.
“How pathetic! Is this how you are going to capture me huh!” The giant phantom serpent coiled up, and the devilishly beautiful face of a magus was revealed as Lita stared at these three Magi coldly.
Lita with her bloodline has already send an alert to Leylin and has also already send a detailed information to Leylin and from the headquarters main A. I. Chip the message would travel to all the different reception area sending a rather elaborate summary to him later. From the estimated speed of alert through bloodline and Leylin travel he must be on the way, and as soon as he reaches central continent he would know about everything.
Just the sweep of her gaze caused these three Radiant Moon Magi to feel their scalps go numb, as if they were being watched by some terrifying unmatched being.
Indeed, the opponent had a very charming face. Even if they have seen videos and acquired information about her before, the three had to admit that a high-ranked Warlock like her was someone who male Magi would go crazy over. Her charms before were astounding but with her full metamorphosis it has added a deadlines to them.
This unwitting charm she was giving off was very similar to a high-grade illusory attack but the three weren’t some greenhorn as they immediately regrouped themselves and attacked in a combination, they have pushed their past worries and attacked impeccably in a synchronized manner, their combination was like a well oiled machine.
The danger of such a battle was far greater than one of the spells. Just a slight misstep could push any of them to a point of no return.
The void was still, with no sound being emitted. A formless ripple was quickly spreading in all directions, and all things in range of this battle between soul force, ordinary or otherwise, collapsed without a sound.
*Pu!* Lita huge serpent figure abruptly staggered back as her blood flowed down from corner of her mouth. In the battle against three seasoned veterans, she had clearly been on the losing end but she wasn’t very disheartened rather she enjoyed this fight because the outcome was already set in stones.
Her conditions was good but the Radiant Moon Magi weren’t faring very well either, the huge loss of soul force causing their faces to turn pale slightly, their fight was a war of attrition but unknown to them it was just a race against time for Lita, of course they knew that something isn’t right and wanted to knock her out but it’s easier said then done.
“Admit defeat! You’re not our match. Us three against you alone there is no chance!” The Magus Leader Peter watched Lita, whose blood was seeping from her skin, and hummed coldly.
Lita didn’t retort rather sneered instead, giving her opponent a bad omen.
“Devour!” The tremendous and elegant Kemoyin Serpent Emperor figure appeared behind her, widening its huge mouth towards the three Radiant Moon Magi.
A terrifying black hole was produced, causing everything within range, even light and space, to be sucked in. The powerful attractive force gave rise to a horrifying energy storm.
*Rumble!* In an instant, the space around the three Radiant Moon Magi turned turbulent as an unending stream of force flowed to all parts of Lita body, allowing her wounds to heal quickly.
With the Devouring innate skill, she was practically immortal, and could even mend her truesoul using her body. No matter how grievous the injury, she could recover quickly. In a battle between Magi, this was completely like a cheat move.
*Pu!* The opponents cooperated to deal another blow, soul blades carving out a huge wound on Lita’s body. However, large amounts of life force were channelled instantly once more, and blood and flesh regenerated. In the blink of an eye, she had recovered.
Lita exchanged blows like a lunatic, injury for another injury, crimson energy blades flying everywhere and causing the three Magi to find it difficult to keep up.
“This isn’t working. Her regenerative ability is just too terrifying!” Peter felt a chill in his heart. They had to fend against not just Lita’s attacks, but also the devouring force of the black hole. Lita was contending with them with no qualms whatsoever, and he was finding this precarious situation difficult to manage.
“The opponent regains life force through spatial rift. This ability is too terrifying!” Randy eyes flickered as tried to find a way to get around this devouring ability, its weakness.
“Have you still not decided?” Crimson light flashed in Lita eyes. On the surface she might be dominating but her conditions weren’t very good either she was expending a lot of soul force and she might run out of gas soon.
‘I still have that, as soon as he returns I would use the final attack and deal with them.’
*Hss hss!* The terrifying amber slits of the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor’s eyes fixed onto the speaking Randy.
*Boom! Boom!* Lita let the opponents’ attacks land on her back, scales and flesh flying as she charged into the centre of their attack formation. Numerous black shadow claws appeared and forcefully attack Randy but the two cancel her maneuver.
“Rank 4 Spell— Evilfire Devil Fangs!”
*Hss…* A terrifying ancient might descended, and the three Radiant Magi had to retreat. A gigantic serpent that was over a hundred thousand metres long opened its maw and distant fangs appeared to bit them, every tooth on jaw looking very vivid.
With the serpent’s attack fixed on them, Peter, Amore and Randy started sweating bullets.
The power of an ancient rank 5 existence far exceeded what most Radiant Moons could bring forth. A being like this, a ruler, possessed even more power, taking on the role of a predator.
“We’re going all out!” The Peter and the two exchanged a glance, looks of determination rising in their eyes.
Dazzling light converged at their bodies, and a terrifying and tremendous might burst forth.
“Ancient rank 5 Arcane Art— Era of White Flood!”
“Ancient rank 5 Arcane Art— Raven Massacre Roar!”
“Ancient rank 5 Arcane Art—Star Ship Pain!”
With the push from their soul force, the three Radiant Moons each had five innate spells fusing as a tremendous arcane art was used by their hand, surging towards the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor.
“Eye of Petrification! Toxic Bile!” Terrifying rays of petrifying light shot out of the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor’s eyes into the opposing black stream. A large amount of black gas fell as it turned to stone, but was shortly after replaced with more.
A large icy shard flood, distorted hauling bone attack and star seal charged out from within that abyss even as, under the other Magus’ directions, silver spatial turbulence converged to form an even more horrifying spatial storm that swept up the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor.
“Hss…” The Kemoyin Serpent Emperor thundered, petrifying rays striking the gigantic seal. It instantly froze up, and with a swipe of the Emperor’s tail, the entire abyss crumbled as the large attack vanished.
The spatial storm caught up while Lita was focussed on dealing with the oncoming attacks. The silver storm wreaked havoc, and piece by piece the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor’s scales fell off, revealing fresh, bloody wounds.
“Devour!” The Kemoyin Serpent Emperor opened its mouth while facing the spatial turbulence, and a terrifying black hole appeared.
Large amounts of this silver spatial turbulence were unexpectedly swallowed, transformed rapidly into life energy that allowed the wounds on its body to heal.
“She is on her last legs, keep pushing!” Personally seeing even rank 5 arcane arts dealing less then desired damage against Lita, the three Magi immediately sunk into depression but Peter observed her dire situation and shouted.
They exchanged a glance, making plans to end this soon. In practically the blink of an eye, the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor swept through the region, submerging the figures of Peter, Randy and Amore as they didn’t retreat but rather retaliated.
In the spatial crack that was like a universe of its own, the tremendous Giant Kemoyin Serpent snarled suffering injuries after injuries slowly but surely it’s momentum was decreasing. Beside it, three bundles of various-coloured rays gradually grew dimmer, on the verge of disappearing but the strength within them were horrifying.
“This is your loss Lita Farlier, I must say your power and talent are horrifying but unfortunately for you it’s game over.” Peter shouted his teeth were scarlet colored due to the seeping blood painting his whole ragged robe red but paying the injuries no heed he spoke confidently.
“I couldn’t agree more!” The injured and battered body of Giant Kemoyin Emperor Serpent contracted to show a heavily breathing Lita but her face held an excited smile as she looked in a particular direction directly to their left.
They turned their gaze but saw nothing but remembering that the direction is of the Ouroboros Clan their expression changed.
“He is here! It’s time to end this charade.” Lita smiled menacingly as she caress a black snake ring on her finger. The snake was eating it’s own tail but oddly enough the ring was moving in her fingers and within seconds a horrifying energy permeated from it.
“What’s that!?”
“Sto—Stop her!”
