Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction) Chapter 454

Chapter 454

The Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field…
A tiger shark war chariot roared, flashed, and disappeared into the dark, cold universe. Leylin and Princess Zahira were standing on the chariot, watching the immense star sea.
After dealing with Kato, Leylin met with Zahira who also crossed the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field.
As they met, Leylin didn't talk about how her business went neither she inquired about how he was able to deal with Kato.
Leylin could fairly guess from the look of her gloomy face that whatever she came to Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field for, didn't came to fruition.
The tiger shark war chariot stopped. And after a while her expression further worsened and her eyes fraught with worries.
Apparently there was no news or information about the whereabouts of her brother who escaped early on.
Perhaps, even after his early departure another team was still chasing after them. But she could do nothing but move forward, with that their journey resumed.
A long, long time afterward...
On this particular day, they saw a dazzling star appear in their sight. This star was massive, with abundant spiritual Qi and countless energy fluctuations of living beings.
There was no way to measure time precisely in outer space. But Leylin with his A. I. Chip time clock could accurately watch that around eight months passed from the time he battled and schooled Kato.
Zahira's beautiful eyes glinted while her anxious mind quieted down, and a smile appeared on her face once again. "We're almost home."
Leylin cranked up his neck to see some sparkling stars near that massive star.
"That's the Dark Firmament Divine Nation," Zahira pointed at an area from a far distance. "The Nation consists of eleven life stars. Ten satellite stars surround one big life star, which is the metropolis star of our Dark Firmament Divine Nation. It's called the Dark Firmament Star. My Father stays there. That star has three suns and three moons, the three Great Solar Stars, and the three Great Moon Stars. They scatter in different areas and light up the Divine Nation. We will never experience true darkness. Even if it's night time, under the light of the three Great Moons, the place's still lighted up gloriously."
"That's where my ancestors guard from generations to generations. It's my hometown. The Dark Firmament Star always belongs to the owner of the Divine Nation. The ten life stars surrounding it belong to the Princes, Princesses, and the King's siblings."
Fluctuations of dense energy were sent to Leylin from the nearest star, with abundant earth and heaven energy. It was the best place for warriors to cultivate.
A life star was a place similar to the Grace Mainland. The area created by eleven life stars was the place where the royal family of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation stayed.
Of course, the Dark Firmament Divine Nation's territory included not just these stars.
Other five feudal vassals guarded the further areas. They had more than ten life stars and many mineral stars. Together, they created the powerful status of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. Each feudal vassal, was an expert at the Original God Realm.
From this point of view, the Dark Firmament Divine Nation had an extremely large territory, and a power that could make people shiver on just hearing their names. It was worthy of being one of three strongest forces of the Raging Flame Star Area. As it could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Underworld League and the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce for ten thousand years, it proved how strong this divine nation was.
The tiger shark chariot was still moving at fast speed. Gradually, the life star in front of them became larger. One could see so many creatures, beasts, mountains, rivers, lakes, and things. The scenery there was beautiful and heartening. Spiritual herbs and grass were grown in separate areas, where the specialists took care of them.
"I have never been to another star before except for my mother continent... It's really splendid and breathtaking."
"Haha… I hope you like it here, This is the Glorious Amethyst Star, the planet belonging to me. It has several thousand people on it, and the same number of beautiful mountains and lakes. You can see attractions everywhere." Zahira's mood was good.
"When I was born, my Father gifted it to me. Under my management, the Glorious Amethyst Star can be considered prosperous. Since it's a level 4 life star, it won't be drained even after dozens of thousands of years."
Pausing for a while, Zahira smiled like a blooming flower as her beautiful eyes twinkled. "Each Prince and Princess has their own life stars. The allotment of stars isn't under my ability, it's really difficult for anyone to get a star unless they show enough merits to be awarded by His Majesty."
Leylin smiled faintly. "I know it's not something so easy, I just said that in the passing. You don't need to explain me."
"As for if I can get a star or not, we will see in the future."
"What do you think about my Glorious Amethyst Star?" Zahira asked as the tiger shark war chariot slowly descended, flying towards the central grand palace of the Glorious Amethyst Star.
Purple clouds wound around that group of palaces built from a kind of fulgent purple crystal. Violet nimbus was moving beautifully on those structures.
Leylin surveyed and watched the magnificent scenery. Many different-raced warriors were busying themselves inside and outside the palaces. They were harvesting herbs, feeding spiritual animals, cultivating, or refining medicines and weapons. Everybody was working orderly.
Many warriors were waiting for her solemnly on a massive platform in the central palace. They faced up the sky, waiting in silence.
Around twenty-some King God Realm warriors, a hundred True God Realm warriors, and almost one thousand Sky Realm warriors were scattered on that massive tall platform. Some of them stooped, while some kneeled down or bowed on the ground, waiting for their master to come home.
'*Sigh* Just a little princess has such an impressive force, it's really not comparable to Grace Mainland.'
Zahira was only a Princess of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, but she could control such a holy land like this, with a tremendous force under her command. Thinking about the general force of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, the Underworld League, and the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce, Leylin understands that their foundation is too deep.
The Raging Flame Star Area was mysterious, and much more immense than what he had imagined. The Grace Mainland was... much much smaller than this place.
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness!"
Loud sounds echoed from the square under their feet. Shortly, the whole area of thousands of miles around was filled with greetings.
Any person working outside or inside the palaces, no matter what they were doing, harvesting herbs or feeding beasts, refining medicines and forging treasures, all paused their work, bent, and greeted, contributing to that stream and strengthening its power.
Zahira's demeanor changed into strict and cold indifference suiting a master as she replied, "Get up. No need to be too courteous."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Several thousand warriors stood up, their faces solemn. They still stooped their heads, without acting too flurried.
"Your Highness, where's your battleship? And, where's Bergh?"
A Demon Clan's sturdy man with a short beard and high spirits, having a half-naked upper body, stepped forward and asked her while bending his body. The muscles of his entire body bulged like stones, which stored his bursting energy.
Zahira discolored as her eyes glinted with a gleam of fear. "Bergh hasn't come back?"
"Bergh and Antrim, didn't they go with you?" That sturdy man seemed to be astounded.
Leylin shook his head, as he understood that something had happened to the prince. Bergh and Antrim are both Princess guards at Third Sky of King God Realm and they received her order to flee with the prince protecting him while they return to Dark Firmament Divine Nation but alas something unfortunate happened.
Zahira's voice trembled. "No message from them? How about my brother? Did you hear anything about Prince Dante?"
"Prince Dante subordinates have come here and asked for him several times. They are searching for him too." The sturdy man changed his visage. "The Prince hasn't come back yet. Since the last time he went out, we haven't heard from him."
Zahira's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss. Chill covered her entire body as she stood in a daze.
People didn't dare to even breathe loudly. They all understood that something had happened. They were all grim.
Soon Zahira snapped from her disoriented state and lead Leylin into the amethyst palace.
Along their way, many warriors bent on one knee to show their respect for her. Several thousand warriors followed her just like the cortege of a Goddess, sending her to her amethyst palace.
Leylin didn't say anything, just following her.
Many warriors of Zahira's retinue were assessing him discreetly with complicated eyes, as they didn't know his identity.
"You guys can leave. When you have Dante or Bergh's news, report to me immediately." Zahira waved her hand tiredly. "Pay attention, and watch out carefully for me. Brief the situation of the divine nation for me."
Many warriors nodded, bent their bodies and stepped backward.
"Leylin, you choose a room to rest in the Amethyst Palace. We have the training room, the Upanishad Hall, and the warehouse that stores all kinds of materials. If you need, just take them. I can also give you my personal collection of materials." Zahira pondered for a while.
"You have saved my life many times. At the most critical time, you've shouldered my burden in the battles. You're different from the others... I considered you my friend. I hope you would treat me the same."
Leylin nodded and didn't say anything.
Zahira smiled at him with a tired look and took out an item, "I want to take a good rest this time and gather myself. You should take care of yourself. Take this jade token. You can freely walk around in the Amethyst Palace. In my Glorious Amethyst Star, this token represents me. No one will dare to do anything to you."
"Thank you." Leylin took the jade token.
Leylin soon left and roamed around the palace, his knowledge about the Raging Flame Star Area was still lacking so he went to the library to update his database, he also went to the famed Upanishad Hall where various Upanishads from throughout the Raging Falme Star Area was recorded.
Obviously there wasn't any top grade or secret Upanishads but Leylin still reaped a benefit from them.
He also made a trip to her warehouse taking various rare and precious materials to create some potions and some weapons. His journey to the alchemy and blacksmith path had reached the end in a small world like Grace Mainland but there is much to learn and discover in this grander stage.
After a few months of studying and research Leylin finally left that group of palaces. Seeing the amethyst token on his waist, the guards moving back and forth slightly bent their bodies to greet him on the way.
People holding the Amethyst token could visit anywhere in the Amethyst Palace, as they were the distinguished guests of the Glorious Amethyst Star. They could go anywhere without having any restrictions.
With the token, his trip was smooth. He soared up into the sky, flying above the Glorious Amethyst Star. Looking at the sky with three dazzling suns and immersing himself in the sunlight.
Leylin flew through the mountains, lakes, and forests. After several hundred miles, he glided through a vast area of so many cities.
Most of the residents of those cities were ordinary people with different races. Leylin could sense some warriors, but their realms weren't so high. Strongest warriors would wear purple clothes. Apparently, they were under Princess management. On behalf of her, they would control those cities.
Most of the cities there looked like the Sky Meteor City in the Quiet Cloud Land, or the Wonderful Stone City in the Divine Great Land. Each city would have a City Master to manage the entire operations of the city.
All the City Masters were Zahira subordinates. They would help her find the potential warriors in the city to nurture them, which could help her in the future. Taxes would be submitted on time, turning into her properties.
Gliding above the cities, Leylin found that the City Masters of many cities in the Glorious Amethyst Star were only at the True God Realm. In some small cities, the City Masters were only at the Spirit Realm or Sky Realm. Those cities constituted the Glorious Amethyst Star, surrounding the purple palaces where Zahira stayed, which was the only ruling structure of the planet.
In the eyes of those several thousand people, Zahira was their Queen, their master forever. Some of them even had never heard of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation or the Underworld League. Most of her people had never left the Glorious Amethyst Star.
Only warriors with potential would be selected. Afterward, they could move to the palaces where she stayed to receive the power Upanishad inheritance. Then, they would have to cultivate and go through tests to earn their status and positions. They could be Zahira guards or workers at the herbal fields, or even take care of her spiritual animals.
She had many cities, but the heaven and earth energy in those cities weren't the same. Some were rich in energy, while many of them had thin layers of spiritual energy. Only where Zahira was staying had the thickest heaven and earth energy.
After several days of staying in the Glorious Amethyst Star, he had some understanding about this life star. Leylin thought that it won't be that bad to get a city for his family and friends from the Grace Mainland, so that they could stay and live happily.
Grace Mainland is at the end of its day, Leylin didn't really want all those warriors to go to waste just because they didn't have a place to cultivate it's too pitiful. Leylin has observed the Raging Flame Star Area and concluded that there were a few geniuses in the Grace Mainland who can make a name for themselves even in such a dangerous and advanced place.
As Zahira concluded previously, the lifeforms of an Ancient Continent are special and unique even if Grace Mainland has been deteriorating through the years, it still gave birth to a few remarkable fellows who can rake a storm if give enough time and proper nurturing.
And better yet different from the Grace Mainland, members of different clans could live together in harmony here. They wouldn't be hostile toward the others due to racism, which could lead to a bloody battle where either of them had to die.
After several days of taking a tour around the Glorious Amethyst Star, Leylin had a deeper understanding of this life star.
Not long afterward, as Leylin was roaming around a beefy Demon Clan's warrior whom Leylin had seen before in the palace, came to him.
The major-domo had a troubled face as he looked at him and told Leylin, "Follow me. Princess had arranged something for you before she left."
The beefy Demon man turned away, flying towards the palace. Leylin followed him.
"Did something happen?"
"Corpses of Bergh and Antrim have been found. But we don't have any lead on Prince Dante." The Demon man hesitated for a while and then turned around. "Princess was worried that Prince would be in big trouble. She went to the Dark Firmament Star to ask for the King's opinions."
"Princess have order me to give you the Purgatory Token. This is how you can go to the Extreme Purgatory Field." The beefy man held a token with both his hands, which wasn't made of jade or gold, then handed it to Leylin with a solemn face.
'Extreme Purgatory Field.. Might as well see what this is about.' Previously Zahira had promised to give Leylin a big opportunity and told him about this event. Quite honestly, he doesn't actually know much about this event but it's apparently quite a big deal.
"The King had forged the Purgatory Tokens himself. The bloody white bone crown is the symbol of the royal family of the divine nation."
"I see.... Such a strong bloody aura... " Leylin lightly caressed the token.
"Princess wants you to go to the Purgatory Star. The Extreme Purgatory Field is there. And, take the amethyst war chariot she gave you." The man pointed at a brand new fulgent amethyst war chariot. This beautiful chariot was apparently of a better quality than the others parked around this area.
"The Extreme Purgatory field is about to open. People holding this Purgatory Token can go there. When you get to the Purgatory Star, show them the token. They will take care of you and explain everything."
"I see, thank you for your help."
The Demon man hesitated for a while his eyes rolled as he was considering something. Then, he continued in a low voice. "The Princess and Aagon had a dispute because of this Token. My men overheard it accidentally."
Leylin raised his eyebrows. He paused for a while and then looked at the other man, "Who's Aagon?"
