Soon after Lancy was promoted to Rank 2 she was visited by a representative of the conference, Magus Logan, the protector of the Eastern Twilight Zone.
He met with Lancy, reprimanding her about the reckless behavior of her alliance during the delicate period when Elves are looking to start a war, He showed his immense disapproval about decreasing the strength of humans through this purge.
But after testing her successful breakthrough into the Rank 2 he quickly withdrew his stern behavior. After getting the confirmation that Lancy would stop her Alliance unbridled growth and also help in the upcoming battle against the Dark elves, Logan was further pleased and decided to drop the issue.
The Magus world was extremely pragmatic; no one would make life difficult for a rank 2 Magus just for a guild that was already exterminated.
Given that the demise of Nature's Alliance would benefit quite a few other guilds, if Dense Fog Forest still had survivors who could repeatedly report them and collude with the authorities, there would have been a small bit of hope. However, Lancy had directly uprooted them.
Ever since Lancy had taken commands, Nature's Alliance's strength had reached a new peak. Rapidly, all the remaining factions within the Dense Fog Forest was absorbed, and the influence of Nature's Alliance had even spread its net even wider.
Regarding these actions, the joint conference enforcers turned a blind eye; they eventually even produced a formal letter that openly announced Nature's Alliance's promotion to a medium-scale guild, a move which left many Magi dumbfounded.
Through the development during this period, Nature's Alliance had broken through from a declining small-scale guild to a peak medium-scale guild! After all, with a rank 2 Magus like Lancy overseeing the guild, it could be considering as a trump card that could surpass most medium-scale guilds.
Nature's Alliance's expansion this time was way too aggressive and depended solely on Lancy's and her group power. The guild's foundations were very unstable.
However, after passing this period, everything they took in would have been assimilated, and their abilities would naturally improve as a whole!
As the ceremonial guild leader, Celine had been so busy lately that no one knew of her whereabouts.
Lancy was far too busy to care about tangible powers. However, Ivy has been taking care of many arrangements and even Celine had obtained a good portion of this power. Using this opportunity Celine talents were used at its most optimum.
At this point in time, Celine was full of gratitude for Lancy and she also showed great respect for the Saint Knights.
Nature's Alliance had once again achieved glory under Celine's leadership, and the extent of its success exceeded that of the past. If her mentors knew about this, they would have been very pleased.
Lancy did not care about any of this. After the situation had more or less stabilised, she continued staying in the headquarters of Nature's Alliance and sank into the deciphering of high-grade meditation techniques along with her own cultivation.
No matter what resources and materials she required, an instruction to her subordinates was all it took for them to be collected immediately and sent to her. Hence, Lancy became even more reclusive.
Time passed bit by bit without anyone noticing.
Eastern Twilight Zone, Nature's Alliance headquarters.
Currently, Nature's Alliance had stabilised its strength as a medium-scale guild and had countless hundreds of acolytes, far from what it was like in the past.
Moreover, the increased presence of Magi strengthened their defences greatly. They were now a few ranks higher than before.
In the forbidden area in the middle of Nature's Alliance, within a huge laboratory.
Lancy blanked out and immediately looked towards the golden crystal in her hands. Currently, the crystal was emitting a faint heat, and the golden light generated from within enshrouded it.
"Baelin is stirring, The time for me to unleash the Sacred Flames( divination technique) is approaching fast." Lancy suddenly licked her lips.
"..and It looks like Baelin has already started walking along with his destined spiritual path! The strength of fate will accumulate in his body!"
Lancy glanced at the A.I. Chip's progress with the recovery of the meditation techniques.
Sacred Flame, the high-grade meditation technique that Lancy was suppose to spread is the same one that could predict the future, had finally been fully recovered. There were even a few areas that were being constantly improved. With the whole South Coast knowledge database in addition to Twilight Zone research and manual, this technique has been remolded and refined at multiple occasions.
In actuality, Sacred Flame had been recovered much earlier, and even went through a few modifications to remove the negative repercussions.
It was a pity that so-far A.I. Chip only managed to simulate it to the third rank. This meant the technique only went this far.
"There are various good seedlings out there who could help me gather great experimental value and these one could be better than just any random mob since they have fate in their service too!" Lancy thought as she looked at the image of a few candidate she has chosen. Each one of them are possible Child of destiny but obviously their fate lack in comparison to Baelin and Longbottom. Even still their outcome would be much better in contrast to just picking anyone, although it would be possible to handle useless people too, and turn them into stars but Lancy decided to see what talents an already talented person can display.
Lancy looked at the experimental table and smiled. The silver-white table top had a few peculiar objects on it. Among these items were a black ring, a five-coloured pendant, and a tattered notebook.
"A.I. Chip! Begin!" Lancy's eyes shot out a blue glow, and she picked the few objects up.
....
The Twilight Zone began to buzz as reports of abnormal activity of the darkness creatures are starting to come in. In addition, the warmongering faction in the Dark Elven Empire successfully staged a coup, eliminating all influence of the pro-peace faction. They've mobilised the entire army attacked the human faction.
Wars were not uncommon in the subterranean world, but they rarely coincided with the attacks of the horde of darkness creatures.
That period had seen the loss of many Magi and numerous large-scale guilds. It had come to be known as the subterranean world's Great Power Reshuffle
An event that destabilised the world of Magi would obviously be a long period of suffering for the commoners.
A war between two intelligent species wouldn't be quick to occur. It would be prefaced by a long period of strategy and preparation, with very little surprise attacks occurring. High ranking Magi had started keeping tabs on their opponents as early as three years ago, and their preparations had begun even further back.
Lancy was stationed to Dolon City, where she had to act as one of the three protectors. Lancy didn't mind and took this opportunity of distress and chaos to find some benefits and also distribute Sacred Flames.
Months passed by.
The war raged on. Numerous armies of dark elves had stationed themselves across from the city, their camps stretching out along tens of miles. Several golden tents stood at the center of their army camp, the aura within enough to cause even Lancy to furrow her brows.
Under organized command, the battle power of the darkness creatures and elves had risen by several levels. Every strategic City was embroiled in intense battle, with the weakest rung suffering the most casualty.
However, there was a steady supply of cannon fodder from the regions which allowed them to hold on.
Under such high pressure, the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy. A sense of an impending crisis enveloped everyone's hearts.
Lancy has reaped many benefits throughout these months she mobilized the Saint Knights to make use of the confusion and snatch various loots, they had markings for some inheritance lands and people with great treasure using that they looted relentlessly. Lancy also used this chance to make some connections and gain various valuable items in order to keep advancing.
She also successfully distributed the Sacred flames to the candidates and each one of them showed remarkable progress pleasing Lancy a lot.
There were various clashes and few of experts fall and the war was at it's peak especially in eastern region when Lancy decided to land the last blow, she hold up two enemy elves all by herself, allowing her partners to kill a lonesome matriarch elf after which the stability of the battlefield was lost and humans emerged victorious.
The war ended. Lancy, who had returned from the battlefield, was now leisurely drinking some coffee.
With a thought, she accepted the scenes that the A.I. Chip transmitted to her.
"Baelin is unexpectedly very good, I had thought that someone with his idiotic personality would not survive long but I was somewhat wrong, as long as something drastically destructive doesn't happen his rise is pretty much guaranteed and this, Longbottom is also good, taking shelter in enemy camp and joining hands with elves he had made remarkable progress. He used his charismatic persona to entice a revolutionary army against the unfairness of the guild system. These two really makes one jealous. But destiny would only take you so far, surfing in it's wave and touching the stars is good, but what would you do when the tide is over and you are gonna have to no longer dance with the stars but swim with the sharks. " Lancy smiled mysteriously as she thought of keeping an eye for every important piece.
The speed at which these two grew even startled Lancy even after she had the little prior knowledge of their rise. Longbottom seemed to have gained a bloodline, and Baelin is even better off. Not only has he even found the path to becoming a Bio Booster, which suits him best, he has even subdued the Underground Winter Spider Emperor, which is a creature with a might similar to a rank 2 Magus.
"Except for these two, all of the practitioners of Sacred flames are also doing quite well. They have already began to notice the existence of people like them and started hunting them down reaching the full potential of their techniques. They have also seer Baelin and Longbottom fate choosing to guide one of them." Lancy walked around with a serious look as she contemplated her plans again and again, making sure nothing out of bounds occurs.
The high-grade meditation technique, Sacred Flame, had come from the Botelli Family. Traditionally, only one person in a generation could successfully train in this meditation technique, while the rest would suffer a mental breakdown and die.
However, with modifications from the A.I. Chip, as well as Lancy's meticulous planning, this meditation technique had been passed down to many talented acolytes, and they had all risen to become official Magi through Sacred Flame!
[Due to the unusual nature of this meditation technique, they will need to kill each other to determine a victor. Only then will Sacred Flame be complete.]
Lancy looked at the A.I. Chip's conclusion.
"Everyone has gathered. The show is about to start!"
