*Giggle*
"Hahahaha!" Emilia suddenly started to laugh mildly and despite her covering her mouth, her visage seemed to have blossomed the whole field with flowers, mesmerizing everyone. Her laughing figure was so enchanting that even specially trained knights almost dropped their weapons.
"I am sorry but I would have to refuse, I have no intention of joining your family. I would advise you to immediately step aside and let me go otherwise the outcome wouldn't be good."
As soon as Emilia words fall, a veil of silence enveloped the area. Dustin was firstly stunned and then infuriated with Emilia but he forcefully exhale a few times and calm down.
"It seems that success has gone to your head. No matter, I would need to educate you then and help you realize the situation you are in."
"Men! Charge!" Dustin didn't wait for long and immediately signalled for his people and accomplice to attack. He was determined to break the unbeatable momentum of Emilia and let her wallow in despair.
The multitude soldiers received the order and immediately charged forth. Looking at hundreds of Saints Knights with various Rank 1 Magus, Rank 2 as well as one Rank 3 moving forward Dustin lips curled into a cold smile.
'Even if you are a genius Magus, so what? Facing so many Magus and Knights, your spiritual force wouldn't last long. After this mission is done with, if worst comes to worst, I will just hide myself within my Family and live comfortably. Anyways, with me under Lord Uncle protection, what can Chairman Nyssa do?'
Dustin eyed Emilia resolutely, his face turning the shade of a faint red with malevolence. He was always hailed as a genius in his family with a great future prospect suppressing all of his competitors, as he showcase his might time and time again, eventually reaching Rank 2 before turning hundred! He was a recognized individual even in Rebelhearts, The only one time when he eat humiliating defeat and shame was in the 'Genius Magus Tournament' organized by Rebelhearts.
This was a continent wise tournament conducted to celebrate the rise and prosperity of Magus in South Coast after His Majesty's rules. It would be conducted by Rebelhearts on equal intervals and all of the subsidiary organization under them would send their genius to compete.
At that time Dustin wasn't in the Rebelhearts and he joined the tournament under his family name being one of the favorites to win eventually earning fame and reputation for his family.
Even his uncle who usually dotes on him was infuriated with his defeat to a mere commoner from a small organization like Abyssal Bone Forest. This situation was even more embarrassing since an important individual with position even higher than his uncle came to preside over the finals, where Dustin wasn't just defeated but also humiliated by being destroyed in just one move from Emilia.
What's worst was that the reward for the first place was a piece of high-grade Magic Artifacts something which even his uncle would droll over but the opportunity was squandered. His uncle was only a Rank 2 when he joined the organization all those years ago when Rebelhearts was rising and through its even more dazzling and meteoric rise in South Coast his gamble paid off. He alleged his family to a very important and powerful organization, a decision which has changed the course of their family being one of the noble elites among simple members of the organization.
Dustin rise was supposed to be a very important episode for their subsequent development because his uncle has already reached the end of his development and talent burning all of his accumulation and resources throughout his life to enter the level of Rank 3 becoming a Six Winged elder. After that he knew that it would be very difficult to climb higher hence he used his influence, power, resources to nurture the greatest genius of his family Dustin.
But unfortunately, this great responsibility handed to him was not properly fulfilled as he failed in his first main step to gain recognition all those years ago under the hands of a no name Magus.
Even that important individual who could be his ticket to greater things, was stunned by Emilia performance and invited her to join the Rebelhearts but she immediately declined.
This event brought great shame to Dustin and his pride was even more crushed when Emilia indifferently threw away what he has always desired. After that he made various attempts to redeem himself but always unsuccessful, at the end he had to accept that fact that he was simply no match for Emilia.
This defeat has caused him to loose a lot of favour and authority in his family too, it was only with years of hardwork did he regained some prestige but still he knew he was no match for Emilia. All those resources, hard work, talent, patience, battles but being significantly inferior to someone who has none of them is an unbearable feeling. It like his existence is a waste!
He has wanted to deal with her for years, trying to bid his time. He didn't dare act prudent inside the Academy as Emilia was a student, because although the Abyssal Bone Forest is just a mere ant in their eyes, it still has some relationship with His Majesty.
There are various students, teachers and important individual in Rebelhearts who have roots there including one elder named Kroft Leslie who is a honorary vice-chairman of the academy. Even if Kroft is just a Rank 2 Magus, but not even the managing director would dare disrespect him and would greet him cordially. This is no joke, he was His Majesty mentor after all, any shame to him is homologous to bringing spite to the great name of His Majesty let alone others even his own uncle would rip him apart.
'But now I have the chance, she has left the territory and haven't join Rebelhearts although I might recive some backlash but it would all be worth it, not only would I get the high-grade magic Artifact but also her.. ' Dustin looked at Emilia with a greedy and possesive gaze, he followed the ideology that if you can't beat them join them and although his sense and conclusion of that mindset is twisted and incorrect, Dustin is very keen to beat Emilia making her feel despair and finally give her an opportunity at salvation. He wants to make her understand this ideology and recognize her inferior position.
If Emilia agreed it would be the best case because not only would he get an important item but also a super genius. otherwise...
"My lady! Please go ahead." The Knights then pulled out his long sword and his whole body swelled up like a balloon. He resembled a small giant as he blocked the carriage from harm.
After the enemy made their charge, the two knights made their battle preparations and roused the secret Knight techniques that they mastered.
The charging troops had approximately 200 people. It seems as if the entirety of a Rank 3 level Magus Organization had come to battle. All of them had donned excellent quality armor and the pikes and huge battle axes they wielded carried a sharp, cold glint.
Two hundred mounts charged forth and the ground started to quake and under this mighty launch, the two knights only resembled a small, bemused ant.
This kind of battle formation would even cause a Rank 3 Magus to frown, but Emilia stood calmly as if nothing of importance was happening.
"Why have you not learned anything even after decades of defeat? There was never any competition amongst us two, we stand at a completely different level. I didn't want to kill you because you were a bit amusing but now, you can only repent with your life."
The moment this group was about to cross 10 meters distance away from Emilia, there was an unexpected situation.
*Ka-cha!* A huge hole opened up in the sky, and countless black streaks of lightning appeared with a thunderous sound..
An incredibly mighty pressure suddenly descended, causing Dustin and the others to stand in a daze.
Suddenly, Dustin felt this whole region being isolated from the surroundings, and the air suddenly becoming heavier, to the point that he could not even move a finger.
"This is… the domain! But I've felt it before at my Uncle's. It wasn't anything like this..I can't be wrong!"
The other Rank 3 face turned back, face so pale it was like a corpse's. Numerous black streaks of lightning twined around each other to form a black, giant palm, grabbing at Rank 3 and the rest.
"Ah-!" The Rank 3 wanted to retaliate, only to find that not only was it difficult to use the spiritual force in his body, even the sparse elemental particles in the external world had disappeared, as if they had become insulators of elemental particles.
The suppression from a domain, and its influence, has turned us into elemental insulators! This isn't a false domain of a Rank 3 but a legit Morning Star Magus Domain!?
A fearful and begging expression appeared at the unnamed Magus face looking at Emilia with plea, The terror of Morning Star Magi is something he can only hope to achieve!
"You forced my hand, the honor of a Morning Star isn't for you to blemish and although I am more forgiving this cannot go unpunished."
She lightly sighed and a faint multi-colored light fell over the heads of everyone from her hands.
*Hissssss!* This light was as tiny as a firefly, and it looked as if a puff of breath blown on it would extinguish it.
After the multi-colored light appeared on thier heads, it promptly vanished from sight, as if it had fused into the void and immediately ripples of tremors began to disperse out from the place where the light blended into the air.
*Bang! Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang!*
The tremors began to extend in all directions as if several dominoes had been struck down, and the tremors gained and dispersed more and more power. Finally, there even occurred an earthquake and tornado.
*Crrrrrrrrrackkk!* The ground began to split open. The huge shockwaves made the Knights, Magus alike to feel as if they were caught in the crossfire of bullets.
The surroundings quickly looked like as if there were waves from the sea surging forth causing continuous tremors.
There was no cry for plea, or yell of agony just a simple uncontrollable unstoppable destruction and devastation.
The rifts began to open from the Knight and Magus irrespective of their ranks it was meaningless before her attack, at the forefront before they soon covered the ground of where the whole cavalry was.
Along with the tremors, many horses stumbled and even threw their Knights atop them down.
The ear-splitting bone cracks, the neighing of the horses were all covered by the tremors that the earthquake caused. Only the two saint knights with a certain level of physical ability could barely make out the noise.
*Rumble*
The shock wave swept away all the soldiers and still continued on further till they dissipated.
Just one strike! A crushing defeat! More than two hundred cavalrymen were now dead. The sudden turn of events left Dustin in utter shock.
"He…How can she be this powerful?"
Dustin roared within his heart before he frantically turned away to escape. He was scared out of his wits! Emilia is what? just a seventy or eighty years old Magus, people are lucky to be an elemental conversion Rank 1 in such an age but she.....
If she really is, who he thinks she is then her talents and speed of reaching that unfathomable realm is even more superior to Lord Leylin! What kind of a concept is that.
"It's funny that you think you can run!" Emilia pointed at Dustin. However, the two knights stood there stupefied, not moving an inch. But instantly they broke out of the stupor witnessing as Dustin body was immediately snatched and appeared before them.
"Emi—Lord please let this stupid servant go, it was my foolishness to have offended you." Dustin who was trying to run suddenly found himself appearing before Emilia aand was stunned momentarily but this time he didn't try to run but kow tow trying to beg for mercy.
"Why? Do you think you can get away after dishonoring me?"
"Absolutely not My Lady but I can be useful to you." Dustin racked his brains and tried to escape this kalpa. If he has any idea that Emilia was so perverted to reach this horrifying realm after just a few decades of not seeing each other he would have never dared.
"Useful?"
"Yes My Lady, I am a member of Rebelhearts and also my uncle is a high ranking elder if you want we can contact the headquarters to receive you. You know that the Ouroboros which backs us is an organization with multiple Morning Star, and above Magus including His Highness the Emperor. They would definitely be thrilled to have such a peerless genius visit. It is also the best place for Her Lady because only the clan can satiate your resources expenditure." Dustin spin his thoughts and immediately came with his best answer, he emphasised on the word multiple Morning Star to make her understand that making an enemy of the clan would only be detrimental to her.
Obviously he won't dare say it out loudly because let alone him even an elder won't be spare after being charged with provoking a Morning Star.
Although the Rebelhearts is notoriously known for protecting its members very strictly but would they really offend a genius Morning Star like Emilia for a little character like him. Even his whole family isn't worth it especially when he was in the wrong.
"You don't need to waste your breath I would definitely go the Ouroboros Clan." Emilia smiled sweetly as she said, relieving Dustin tensed body a little bit but her mocking smile was too glaring to not notice.
"Make no mistake about it, I wouldn't be going there to join the organization but rather return to my home. It's a homecoming after all for me!" Emilia said with a bit of nostalgia looking towards the direction where the Eternal Bloodline City is.
"Homecoming!?"
"Yes, to meet my mentor. You also know about him, he is quite famous, you mentioned him earlier too!" Desmond face morphed into confusion and then his body began to shake violently as he remembered his words specifically, he has mentioned a few from Ouroboros Clan but something immediately rang the alarms in his head a name resonated in his mind.
'Leylin Farlier!'
.....
Inside a small garden with a vibrant glowing green color tree, a young hubristic man was tenderly clipping various trees and watering them as he suddenly raised his heads looking at the South direction.
His eyes suddenly changed into a view of starry night as his face held a small gentle smile, "Another Star shining through the night sky brimming with life and expectations, I am proud of you little Emilia."
This individual was obviously Leylin who peeked to look towards Emilia, previously after he returned he has already launched a world encompassing scan and knew about everything going on in the Surface Magus World including her current success but was still pleased to look at her in action.
"Well time for me to depart is also here." Leylin body vanished from the spot right away appeared in a dark space filled high fluctuations of darkness element but suddenly his current position was extremely rich in metal element too.
It was a cluster of metallic valleys, This was the territory of Eam's family.
Numerous steep hills emitted a metallic luster, and at its heart was the Lyas Family's residence. Huge blue thunderbirds descended every once in a while, bringing with them the booming of thunder. This was a perilous area for all outsiders, but for Leylin there was absolutely no danger.
"Eam, come here!" His tangible soul force scanned the area, and Leylin immediately broke through the heavy defences of the Lyas family, finding Eam in a secret room.
"This voice? And this sort of…" Eam Lyas' hand shook in the midst of his experiment, which he immediately discarded. However, he paid no mind to them and turned into a blue thunderbird that soared into the sky.
"His Majesty Lord Leylin! So it's you!" The body of the blue thunderbird immediately shrank. The hill-like creature turned into a blue-haired Magus with silver pupils and fixed his attention on.
Eam smiled wryly and knelt before Leylin, "Eam Lyas greets Lord Leylin!"
After looking at Leylin and comfirming it's him, he immediately bowed subserviently towards Leylin. Through the years of doing business with Leylin's clan, Eam has gained a greater understanding of how terrifying Leylin actually is. In actuality, this person before whom he is bowing in respect, is even younger than his youngest descendant but despite that his prowess is horrifying.
After listening to tales, chronicle and epic recounts of Leylin and his extremely high military might, Eam was completely drenched in cold sweat knowing full well that he was extremely lucky to have made it out alive after having a bit of confrontation with him.
Afterwards Eam became even more cordial and cooperated wholeheartedly giving his all to maintain this situation. With his power Leylin doesn't need him but Eam would be very troubled if discarded so, he perfectly assumed the role of the subordinate party working giving their best.
At that point, Leylin didn't care much for the trade and profits between the first level of the subterranean world and the central continent. He even felt that it was unimportant. However, this business would be a huge help for the Ouroboros Clan, so he finished it.
Here in the subterranean area, Leylin had found genuine overseers and partners. Belinda and Aegnis have been arranged to take commands of this place and since both had experience in managing large organisations, and were pretty strong themselves. They would probably just take some time to get used to the workings of this business and completely master it.
The profits from managing this area were enough for them to survive luxuriously in the Magus World without needing to rely on Leylin or Freya.
