"Its late to regret now, your death is the only way to pacify my wrath!" In the spatial rift, surrounded by boundless starry rivers, Leylin had his hands behind his back, looking confident.
"Arcane Arts : Immortal Bloodline Demon Form— Adhishesha metamorphosis."
*Hss…* A terrifying ancient might descended, and the two Radiant Magi had to retreat. A bahumat apocalyptic Jörmungandr that was over a hundred thousand metres long appeared, every scale on its body looking very vivid. The intelligence in its eyes made it seem grand and noble as well as strangely savage despite its magnificance.
Compared to the previous Giant Kemoyin Serpent transformation of Lita and 'Leylin' these two have faced today, The opponent had currently turned into a real titanic and terrifying rank 5 being.
With the serpent's gaze fixed on them, Eugene and the leading Magus 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 dominator, possessed even more power, taking on the role of an apex predator.
"We're going all out!" The leader and Eugene exchanged a glance, looks of determination rising in their eyes. They knew that running and stalling isn't an option against someone so mighty and merciless.
Dazzling light converged at their bodies, and a terrifying and tremendous might burst forth.
"Ancient rank 5 Arcane Art— Seal of the Abyss!"
"Ancient rank 5 Arcane Art— Spatial Grave!"
With the push from their soul force, the two Radiant Moons each had five innate spells fusing as a tremendous arcane art was used by their hand, surging towards the Adhishesha.
"Heavenly Eye of Purple Demon!" Terrifying rays of purple energy light shot out of the Adishesha's eyes into the opposing black stream. A large amount of purple gas fell as it turned to an explosive spell, which shortly after detonated.
A large brass 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 against the Adishesha which snorted in response and shouted..
"Hss…" The Adhishesha thundered, electrocuting rays striking the gigantic seal. It instantly froze up, and with a swipe of the Immortal Demon's tail, the entire abyss crumbled as the large brass seal vanished.
The spatial storm caught up while Leylin was focussed on dealing with the seal. The silver storm wreaked havoc, and piece by piece the Adhishesha scales sparked from the clash, but there wasn't any wounds only a little dullness on the attacked area.
"Armageddon Whale Wrath!" The Adishesha opened its mouth while facing the spatial turbulence, and a terrifying water tsunami swept against it and clashed.
Large amounts of this silver spatial turbulence were unexpectedly swallowed by the waves, transformed rapidly into a tide that allowed the Adishesha to swept across his enemies.
"He can even bend spatial storms. He's a monster, a monster!" Personally seeing even rank 5 arcane arts dealing negligible damage against Leylin, the two Magi immediately sunk into depression.
They exchanged a glance, making plans to escape. However, how could Leylin give them another chance like that? In practically the blink of an eye, the Adishesha swept through the region, submerging the figures of Eugene and the leader…
In the spatial crack that was like a universe drowned by an ancient flood of its own, the tremendous Adishesha snarled. Beside it, two bundles of various-coloured rays gradually grew dimmer, on the verge of disappearing.
At this moment, the bundle that was the more radiant of the two suddenly shattered, revealing the figure of a man who was gravely injured. He glared poisonously and fearfully at the Adishesha, and no longer daring to dawdle turning into a multi-coloured streak as he left.
A voice full of unwillingness resounded behind him, "You actually abandoned me!" Eugene yelled furiously. However, the bundle of light that represented the strength of his own life dimmed even further, and then finally disappeared.
When the last trace of light dissipated, the Adishesha's body turned into black gas that condensed to form Leylin's actual body once more.
He stood in front of Eugene who no longer had any aura of life, eyes emitting blue light.
[Opponent escape route intercepted! Protocol Activated!] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned.
"You cannot run away!" Leylin muttered as he cracked his sore neck.
Suddenly the roar of four auspicious beasts sounded as the heavily injures Radiant Moon Leader was confined into the even more tyrannical Four Auspicious Beasts Spell, with Leylin's current ability at Radiant Moon this spell is even more terrifying.
Immediately after catching the seriously injured Radiant Moon, four different nature of different elements attack from the auspicious beats attacked in strange symphony and exploded.
*Boom*
[Target Scanned! All life signs exhausted!]
At this point, boundless light filled the void. The astral plane opened up, and traces of starlight moved to take Eugene's and the Leaders corpse.
The blue light in Leylin's eyes grew even more pronounced. After the two bodies were about to be brought into the astral world, Leylin could vaguely see that the ash-brown rocks that had gathered around their body had turned them into a bare isle.
The isle seemed extremely sturdy but looked barren as it became to float in the astral plane.
In the limitless void behind it were so, so many barren isles like this one…
After Morning Star Magi die, their point mass will return to the astral universe. If Radiant Moon Magi fall and if the corpse isn't damaged, it'll turn into a barren isle. Awe and greed suddenly arose in Leylin's heart. How many Radiant Moons had fallen in history? How great would it be to devour them all.
Leylin inhaled a long breath as his huge body appeared and begin to devour the isle of these two destroying their connection with astral plane as they become nourishment for him.
This time, Leylin has caused the downfall of three more Radiant Moon Magus. Even a Breaking Dawn Monarch would feel heartbroken about such a thing for a long while.
It could be said that this was a critical counterattack on his part towards the opposing party!
Furthermore, once news of him able to cause the downfall of various Radiant Moon spread, the stream of Magi who wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible should halt for a while.
There is only 20 something Radiant Moon Magus in the whole of Central Continent and Leylin has caused the downfall of four of them including Zegna, these numbers are very scary.
Of course, if they decided to proceed further, those coming after him wouldn't be mere Radiant Moons.
"Let them come! If left with no choice I would just devour the Phoenix egg and breakthrough to the peak state, at that time not even a Monarch could inflict fear in me! Worst come to worst I would just run away with my life! " Leylin's eyes emitted a boundless spirit.
In the air above a Forbidden region of Central Continent as Lita observed, countless distortions combined to form a spatial channel. Leylin, dressed in loose black robes, stepped out from the passageway.
The battle between rank 5s had resulted in extensive damage even within a spatial crack. Had it been the central continent then..
Even so, just the probing attacks from before had led to devastating harm to the land. Even if the affected area was not huge, the radiation and curses that remained would constantly corrode the land, even spreading out further. Thankfully the place was already a barren place so no one would care anyways.
Leylin watched the land that was in a terrible state without any emotion, Leylin can actually use his sentient force to repair any damage but he won't waste it here. Leylin turned his attention to Lita, "You should take the elders of the clan and retreat to the Morning Star area, it isn't save anymore."
Leylin's gaze suddenly turned to another region in the sky. "Our guest here would escort you!"
As Leylin words fell he threw a few potions in Lita direction and immediately disappeared like a phantom.
Leylin knew that someone has appeared here as he was getting rid of the Radiant Moons, as not only could he sense the soul of a Radiant Moon in that direction, there was also the aura of a bloodline.
"Your Highness has discovered me!" Crimson light flashed, and a large blood-red bat emerged from that direction. On its abdomen was a young face.
The human face on the abdomen of the bat laughed as it spoke, "Its a shame that he has no desire to visit the Morning star area, with Lord Kilvish we would be have another pillar for the warlocks. Anyway, Duke Lita we should get going."
After an attempt, Lita quickly identified this person, "Such familiar undulations… You're the protector of the Morning Star area!"
This was the conscient she interacted with when she'd entered the Morning Star area.
The crimson bat chuckled. "Yes, I'm Jeffrey! I was here to meet Lord Kilvish but *sigh* It seems his highness have other plans."
"Oh yes! I hereby extend a solemn invitation to Your Grace Lita. We hope you'll come to the bloodline Warlocks' final fort— the Morning Star area!" The human face on the bat's abdomen looked serious.
Lita nodded and agreed but deep inside she was very regretful. At her current level she is just dead weight for Leylin and he would have to worry about her safety for his upcoming plans and that is why Leylin ordered her to take the elders and leave, it would be much safer in the Morning Star Area.
Leylin can help her to breakthrough her restraints of the bloodline but he is fully focusing all his energy into strengthening himself currently, Leylin don't have time nor resources to worry for others.
Lita followed Jeffrey as she remembered Leylin's words about the future.
'All in due time dear, all in due time!"
....
Inside Leylin's Magus Tower.
[Beep! Subject scanned! The target is in comatose state! Magical powers suppressed! Mind analysis initiated...]
"A. I. Chip Keep the specimen in suppressed state, dedicate sentient force if need be! "Leylin ordered as he looked at the unconscious women strapped on a granite table plugged with innumerable wires and tubes.
A truesoul image appeared on Leylin's back that was like a clear crescent moon turn blood-red.
A terrifying humongous black dragon claw caged the women's truesoul that had been knocked out and isolated it inside a seperate the void, seeming to close it off at some area.
This woman was none other than the Radiant Moon Magus Carol who tried to ambush and kill Lita. She was Leylin main target as her speciality is a very intriguing subject for Leylin which is — curse. And the type of curse he really wants to extract from her head is the Dream Curse.
*Boom! Boom!* In the central continent, at almost the very instant the giant claw had appeared and confined Carol truesoul, an energy pulsed as it followed a path and, a Morning Star clone of Carol's collapsed onto the ground, eyes blank and void of any aura of life.
Meanwhile, a spell rune emitting green light mysteriously broke in Carol's Magus Tower, and the spirit genie's voice rang out with ear-piercing warnings, "Suffered unknown attack. Reserve clone has fallen!"
Magi only have one truesoul. Regardless of how many clones there are, all life-preserving methods are useless once the truesoul is damaged or sent into the astral universe.
Of course, the transfer of truesoul was a speedy process. Most Radiant Moon Magi seldom succeeded in killing others even with their soul force.
Leylin has used his powers to confine the truesoul into a slow state of devouring as he slowly pry open it's secrets, given the help of the A.I. Chip, Leylin did not find such a thing difficult as the truesoul was considered broken incapable of reviving and all of Carol attempts at running away or revival was squandered.
'Well quite interesting things are going to happen for the future but.. ' Leylin smiled as he return to his Phoenix room, Leylin kept on using his bloodline strength to suppressed the seal on Carol as Radiant Moon isn't very easy to tame even for him.
'While the Monarch plans his revenge I should strike him first, he should be in a weakend state so he cannot come here himself and as for a clone....' Leylin looked at his erupting Sun Child bloodline imprint which is itching for some action and smirked.
"Oh!"
"Well Well, look who decided to woke up." Leylin sat cross legged as his eyes seemed to gaze through the fabric of time and space. Although only a few hours have passed in the Magus World, Days have come and by in the Spirit Mark World as the seriously injured Maroon woke up from his slumber.
