Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction) Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Not long later, a male and female acolyte appeared in the vicinity.
Looking at the obvious traces of an confrontation, and ravaged ground, this time, the female acolyte's face darkened.
"I want to kill him! Then hang his head on my horse carriage for 100 days!"
The female acolyte clenched her teeth.
"You will have this chance very soon! We are getting closer and closer to this fucking acolyte…."
Silver-Clawed Saurun half knelt on the ground, and picked up a stalk of grass with sludge on it, before placing it into his mouth.
"However, I admire his courage. He actually dares to obstruct our acolytes!"
"Enough of the nonsense! Have you found him?"
The female acolyte asked.
"Over there!" Saurun chewed on the blade of grass and closed his eyes for a moment. He then pointed to a direction and the both of them immediately headed in that direction.
In the opposite direction that Saurun pointed, underground Leylin sat with the bodies on the ground. With the help of A. I. Chip he can easily create fake meticulous trails. He has used Illusionary spell and disguised the surrounding area to remain undisturbed.
"Dusk is coming!" Leylin muttered.
In the secret plane, there was neither the sun nor the moon, and not even any stars. However, the peculiar thing was that the bright sky would be strewn with white rays of light. At night, these rays of light would disappear, which distinguished between morning and night.
It seems like there was a layer of a barrier which blocked the sun and moon at the same time.
"I will start for now! Tomorrow I have to get out for a while as Jayden will be attacked and Bicky will be in mortal danger"
*Sigh*
In such a short time he can only use rather volatile theories on them that will yield fast results.
Leylin's face was rather solemn.
"A.I. Chip! Maintain detection area! Report immediately if there are any problems!"
After issuing the A.I. Chip the role of a sentry, he dived into his research.
....
After a day and night, the acolytes in the other two factions would have definitely gathered. After forming a large army they would surround the acolytes of Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.
Under those circumstances, Abyssal Bone Forest Academy students were hard pressed. Leylin didn't care for this, he was focused on Experimenting.
Under the ordeal from the war previously, Abyssal Bone Forest Academy's casualty was extremely disastrous. They simply did not have time to nurture a new batch of elite forces to go against the opposing two factions.
The acolytes of the 3 academies had to stay inside the secret plane for 3 days and 2 nights. Although the physical weariness can be overcome by various potions and methods, the mental fortitude was not that simple to replenish.
Thankfully, Leylin had the A.I. Chip, and could let it act as a sentry. It would do a great job with its ability.
Darkness blanketed the trees, time to time there were the cries of little worms.
This was not a silent night. In the secret plane, various battles unfolded. Many colourful and enrapturing rank 0 spells were cast by the acolytes. Ambushes, reverse traps, beauty traps and the shrewd plotting were endless. Many young acolytes left their lives in this secret plane.
Of course, all these had nothing to do with Leylin.
The second day, when the sky was filled with radiant light, the hollow of a tree shook, and a huge hole appeared. Within it, Leylin walked out.
The power of nature was immense. After a night, many traces of blood diminished, and the various plants and animal tracks covered a huge amount of the intense battle marks left on the ground.
Leylin casually stretched and looked behind himself, all three bodies faintly Breathing with contorted expression on their face.
" I will come in a while to play again Mates! Don't Die On me now, We have some other 'games' to play " Leylin Coldly said.
[Warning! Warning! There is an extremely strong radiation coming from 523m in the Southeast. Primarily determined as acolytes using rank 0 spells!]
"Hmm..The time has come!" Leylin's eyes flashed.
Leylin patted his chest. Under the grey robes inner layer, a solid pendant lay against his chest.
"Or maybe, it's time to test the might of the Fallen Star Pendant!"
Leylin whipped his grey robes up and concealed himself as he headed towards where the battle was.
* Boom! *
As he got closer, Leylin could feel the intensity of the radiation from the spells. This degree could only be produced by a level 3 acolyte. Moreover, it belonged to one of the stronger acolytes, Torash.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded, "Haha! Jayden! You have finally landed in my hands!"
The location of the battle was in the middle of some trees. And the trees right now have already been destroyed, showing a large clearing.
Leylin stealthily hid to watch the battle.
In the centre of the clearing, Jayden who wore a hunter's attire was half kneeling on the ground. There were even vines coiling around him, acting as armour.
In front of him, a black-robed, male figure let out a maniacal laughter.
The black-haired acolyte had a silver chain coiled around his waist, and from time to time there were blue lightning sparks igniting between his hands, making a crackling noise.
"Haha… Jayden, I mentioned it before. One day you will land in my hands!"
The black-haired acolyte laughed wildly. With the wave of his hand, a blue streak of lightning faster than supersonic directly landed on Jayden's armour of vines.
* Sssii! *
Jayden was sent flying, as if a train had knocked into him, and crashed onto the ground forming a large hole.
"How is it? Where is the arrogance back then when you stole my piece of lightning core?"
The black-haired acolyte taunted, before casting another spell at Jayden. It opened a gap on Jayden's body.
The green vines had a huge opening now, revealing Jayden's skin. A large patch of his skin was charred, and Leylin could faintly catch a whiff of barbeque smell.
"Don't think a broken magic artifact can save you!"
It seemed like the hatred the black-haired acolyte had for Jayden was not small, as his glee in seeking revenge was shown on his face.
"A.I. Chip! Inspect Jayden!"
[Beep! Jayden. Strength: 1.9, Agility: 2.7, Vitality: 2.1 (3.5), Spiritual force: 3 (10.8). Status: Mild injury. Paralysis!]
No matter how much the opponent taunted him, Jayden did not speak a single word. He only used an icy gaze to stare at his enemy.
*Good! It's going rather well for now!"
"Look! There are really people there!"
Just was Leylin was enjoying the show , the voice of a female travelled over. It was extremely familiar, and Leylin rolled his eyes.
On the other side of the battlefield, Bicky and another female acolyte came over.
"Well My Time to be a Knight in shining armor has come!" Leylin thought. He harboured some feelings for Bicky, and decided to save her .
"There is someone fighting. Ah! Senior Jayden!"
The female acolyte with Bicky recognised Jayden, and she seemed to have some affection for him. Once she saw him injured, she hurried over.
"A girl? Your friend?"
The black-haired acolyte's brows furrowed and suddenly clapped. "You brought me shame by stealing my possession. Today I will return it in multiple folds to you. For instance, claiming this woman right before your eyes…."
The black-haired acolyte sniggered lecherously, and his hands moved and fluttered like a butterfly.
* Sssii! *
The blue lightning of snake continuously formed on his hands and transformed into a metal chain.It pierced the fireball casted hurriedly by the female acolyte, and knocked her to the ground.
"Molly!" Bicky was frightened, and she hurried over too.
Leylin sighed and hurriedly moved, closing the distance of a dozen metres and held onto Bicky.
"Don't go over!"
"Who… Are you?" Bicky gave a puzzled stare to the guy in front of her.
Leylin's Shapeshifting spell was still in effect and even his voice was altered through potions. Therefore, Bicky did not recognise Leylin at all.
"A person who has come to save you!" Leylin's voice was hoarse, and directly locked gazes with the black-haired acolyte.
"An interesting insect. It was you who was hiding in the corner earlier, huh?"
The black-haired acolyte clenched his fist, as blue lightning coiled around it, emitting sparks every now and then.
A few bolts of electricity were shot into the ground, and each exploded, creating many small holes. The shattered stones and mud flew up beside Leylin, and were blocked by his acolyte's robes and soon fell back to the ground.
Leylin had a Borish smile on his face but deep down he knows that even though his life may not be in danger, Torash can still be a pain if he doesn't take him seriously. He took out his Fallen Star Pendent.
"This is also a great chance to test my abilities! All the people I found were very sub par but he is a good opponent In close quarters"
Leylin licked his lips and suddenly felt a strong battle desire surging from his chest and spreading to his four limbs. He could even hear the blood which was rapidly coursing, and made his eyes a little bloodshot.
This was a man's hot bloodedness and desire for battle!
Haha… Look what I found? Merely a level 1 acolyte who dares to draw a sword against me?"
The black-haired acolyte sneered and his expression became colder and more resolute, "Kiddo! I will give you one last chance. Hurry and kneel to the revered Lord Torash and admit your wrongdoing, and beg for my magnanimity! On account of my good mood, I may even pardon your sins…."
* Shing! *
In an instant, a silver arc of light flashed. It crossed the distance of a dozen metres and struck at the black haired Torash.
The silver arc of light materialised into a cross blade which brought on a heavy killing intent. The aura emitted from it even pressed down on the grasses.
The black-haired Torash had a startled expression. Suddenly, several green runes formed by lightning appeared underneath his leather shoes and crept to his thighs.
As if under some stimulation, Torash jumped backed several metres and avoided the attack.
* Bang! * The cross blade landed and slashed a cross shape hole on the ground.
The grey shadow flashed, and Leylin appeared at the original position of the black-haired acolyte. He gripped the cross blade in his hands and put on a Carefree Expression. Leylin was suppressing his strength if not for that, Torash would have been cleaved in half now.
With some lingering fear, Torash touched his face and felt a gash, which was several centimetres deep, on it.
Although Leylin's attack earlier did not strike the opponent directly, the force it brought already caused a gash on his face.
"So fast! If not for the hastening lightning rune my professor gave me, I might have been a corpse already!"
Very soon the fear subsided from Torash's face and it turned into a contorted expression of rage.
"You… You actually dare to harm the mighty Lord Torash, I'm going to kill you!"
However, his rage did not muddle his mind. Although Torash's expression showed that he couldn't wait to kill Leylin, he retrieved a scroll from his waist sack.
"I admit that your speed is extremely fast. You should, at least, have the physical ability of a Knight, right? But so what? Although a Knight's body is stronger than a regular human and is not afraid of steel swords and large axes, it is just meaningless under a magician's spell!"
Leylin smiled.His body has even surpassed a Grand Knight, let alone a mere Knight.
* Sssii! * Torash pulled the scroll open, and an icy cold spell was activated, covering the whole of the battlefield.
Countless white mist condensed in the air, turning into ice and spread across the land.
The surrounding temperature decreased by dozens of degrees. Bicky pulled the friend on the ground to the back of Leylin. Her body shivered as she looked at Leylin's back, obviously grateful and puzzled at the same time.
Although she had no memory of this person, Bicky had a strong feeling that she knew this strong person who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Who exactly, are you?" Bicky looked at Leylin's figure, her expression complicated.
At this moment, Torash's scroll had finished its activation. With him at the heart of it, the domain of several hundred metres was covered by frost. There were even a layer of snow and ice on the trees and plants as if it was the coldest period of winter.
[Beep! Host is affected by frost. Speed is estimated to decrease by 43%] The unfeeling A.I. Chip's voice intoned.
"No matter how fast a Knight is, as long as his speed is rendered useless, then it would just be a sitting duck, waiting on a dining table to be feasted on!"
Looking at Leylin's figure whose hair and brows have already been frozen in ice, Torash smirked. "I can slightly alter this spell. The frost on you is definitely more at a lower temperature than the two girls. How is it?"
"A pity!"
Leylin felt rather regretful in his heart. Looking at the spell formation of this acolyte's shoes and the scroll, he knew that Torash had a high attainment in spell formation. If not, it would mean that his professor was an expert in this area, to be able to customise this spell for Torash.
Leylin really wanted to sit down and discuss alchemy and runes with him, but alas, he was just being delusional.
