Above Phosphorescence Swamp in the Magus World, numerous Morning Star conscients were at a loss for words.
“How… How could it be… Why is that young lady Kemoyin Serpent Transformation so strong?”
Right before them, Lita and Azure Mountain King left together to fight at the edge of the world. Although the fight is already a set up both Zack and Lita wanted to test each other out. Through the confrontation Zack and others found in bewilderment and shock that even though Lita broke through just recently, Her power is extremely dominating. She is definitely not comparable to a new Morning Star Magus.
Lita has advanced with the help of Red Dragon bloodline ignition and the Lamia Fingerbone both bestowed upon her by Leylin. With the combination of these two accompanied by the advancement knowledge procedure transfer by Leylin from his own experience and the A. I. Chip meticulous control Lita was able to safely advance.
Currently apart from from numerous Morning Star conscients, there was another spectator to this phenomenal display. He stood nonchalantly in the air and his body released no undulation whatsoever, even similar to a normal human. Even Morning Star Magus couldn’t find him even though he wasn’t much far away from them, if these morning star knew about this they would be beyond horrified.
This person was Leylin, he was dressed in a plain white dress and looked at Lita fighting against Azure Mountain King and dominating him. At this moment, they were genuinely trading heavy blows and although Lita was a new Morning Star, with the benevolence of Leylin she had no lack of powerful spells, currently Zack was genuinely in awe and also a bit envy of Lita’s talent.
‘With Lita ability she could be compared to a 2 Star Morning Star Magus and when she uses the Arcane Arts, with the amplification of being a Warlock, she would touch the boundaries of peak 2 Star and probably even entry level 3 star. This power level is definitely something that would be respected thought the central continent. Now, after taking care of these pest I can thrown all the task to Lita.’ Leylin thought, he had made various experimental advancement throughout his seclusion but this small duration of few months aren’t appropriate enough to make a great breakthrough. The Magus Tower would also take some time to be finished, so Leylin decided to hand all the experiment except of his top secret ones to Lita and have her complete them while he travel through the central continent. There is still a lot of time left before he has to leave for Lava World more than five years. The time flows differently in Magus World and Lava World so, he would be able to leave before something unforseen occurs.
‘There is also the Spirit Mark World. Maroon has yet to contact me, it means he still hold reservation regarding a stranger. He wasn’t worried to expose the cultivation technique because he didn’t care particularly being a criminal of his house, he wasn’t bounded by morals to protect their secret. But even if he doesn’t necessarily trust me, he has no choice but to summon me sooner or later. Someone like him would definitely makes waves and get in trouble, it’s just a matter of time. ‘ Leylin wanted to scan the information from the Sky City before going to Lava World and Spirit Mark World because it would enhance his chances of getting something worthy.
Inside, the airship where many Magus were watching there was a long silence, the strongest central thought spoke up, “The strength of a Warlock’s innate spell is not only decided based on their rank, but also on the bloodline. The purer the bloodline, the more powerful the Warlock!”
“What you’re saying is that the purity of that gals bloodline is even higher than that of Gilbert and the other two?”
“Yes, it’s such a regret that we didn’t discover her earlier and kill her… Now that we have allowed someone like her to grow.” The central conscient sighed, feeling that it was a great pity.
“Seems like Azure mountain king is bound to lose…” Soon after, the numerous voices started making gurgling sounds like strangled ducks. Even the Morning Star Magi watching the battle were shocked. Suddenly, Zack has choosen an opportune moment and run away, dropping second grade villain dialogue something around the lines of ‘You won this time but it isn’t over etc.’
“So he chose to give up, makes sense! he was completely outmatched but the question is what should we do now?”
They seemed to have seen something normal happening before their eyes, and sank into collective contemplation. This is usually the case with a battle between their level, when they cannot win against their opponent they make a compromise and retreat. Things like fall of a morning star doesn’t happen very easily.
*Buzz!* Above the battlefield, the void contorted. Lite charged into the battlefield again and proudly straightened herself.
Upon seeing her brave and straight as an arrow figure, the numerous Bloodline Warlocks below finally heaved a sigh of relief, yelling forth, “Lita! Lita!”
The shouting from the crowd stopped, as Lita raised her hands calming them down.
“Azure Mountain King has already admitted defeat in battle. Which one of you would like to be next?” Lita stood proudly with her head held high, and looked around. She appeared to be extremely overbearing as she spoke thunderously in her oriole like voice.
The battlefield fell into a deathly stillness for a moment. The Warlock were holding their breath, because this moment would decide their collective fate but in their eyes was full of hope.
All this while, the burden they had been carrying in their hearts was too heavy. Now that they had the chance, they naturally unloaded everything off their chests, and they even seemed to have gone a little insane.
At the same time, Lita was also communicating with other Morning Star Magi.
“You shouldn’t be so arrogant little lady!” A large conscient sounded.
“Does that mean your graces would not consider backing down and giving me face! ” Lita retorted.
“You are good but your aren’t so powerful to take us all on. If we go all out only doom awaits you. ” The other party was naturally not startled by Lita’s comment.
“Of course, alone I don’t have any confidence to defeat your graces but Ouroboros Clan headquarters isn’t as shallow as it seems!” Lita answered in an amusing and cryptic sentence, and instead it caused the other party to be caught in a dilemma.
Her confidence was too much, are the rumours about the elders disappearance false? or is she just bluffing. Even if she is lying they don’t want to get into a dog fight, battle between Morning Star are very tedious and it would take a lot of effort to subdue her, if she escapes then only destruction awaits their collective territory.
Lita had already proven with her military accomplishments that she wasn’t your average newly-advanced Morning Star Warlock. She had great capabilities, even among those at the Morning Star realm.
They would be able to defeat her if they joined forces, but they would have to pay a tremendous price. It would also pose a problem if she ran away after they suffered serious injuries!
The risk was not nearly worth the reward. And with the possibility of a hidden danger being present even Morning Star Magi would not attack head-on.
The many conscients immediately started quarrelling, or more accurately they were about to, but something that take their attention and shocked them.
Far away from their position Leylin made his move, his eyes turned purple blackish as an eternal dominating and suffocating aura was channeled through his eyes, bloodline energy surged through his body as if it an immemorial Ancient beast has opened its eyes after milleniums of it’s quietus.
Right after Lita fight was over. Leylin decided he should drive away these nuisance. Leylin snorted as the air become extremely heavy as he looked in the direction of the numerous Morning Star conscients.
“Rank 4 spell: Purple Demon Projection.”
A pair of menacing heavenly eyes appeared as it radiated vileness and an authorial suppression as it zoomed over and was imprinted on the conscients shaking them silly.
“What is this feeling?” A Morning Star cried out as his real body which was far away was slightly injured from that attack. He looked around himself and saw that everyone was in the same situation even the biggest conscient.
“This power! Does Ouroboros Clan has the support of a Radiant Moon Warlock?”
“I dont know but it’s for sure that we aren’t a match for this Lord. If Lita and this person combined attack us we would fall in a disadvantageous position and since he just made his presence know and not actively attacked us, it means he is unwilling to fight. I think we should retreat, there are too many unpredictable variables here.”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
One by one, the Morning Star Magus made their decision. Leylin definitely didn’t want to engage them all at once, especially in the territory of the clan. Even for him it may be difficult to kill them all and even if he does. He would become a target for other higher rank Magus. That isn’t something he want, for him the best outcome is to come to a mutual understanding and drive them away.
…
“Damn it! How could such a thing happen?”
On the ground, in the command centre of the allied troops, the Bloodline Warlocks on the entire frontline were counter-attacking.
Various orders for mutual destruction was announced as they wanted to weaken the Ouroboros clan as much as possible. The fight ensued as suddenly various Warlock appeared in the mist of the enemies and successfully eradicated the enemies turning the tide.
After a short moment, the large conscient emitted huge soul force waves, communicating with the many soldiers of the allied army.
After receiving orders, the Azure Rain knights, as well as the other numerous allied Magi, began to retreat gradually.
Only few other organisations like the Arm of Vengeance, held their positions with a look of helplessness on their faces.
“You have won this time!” The large conscient spoke to the opposite Lita.
“Thank You, Let’s just call it a big misunderstanding and blame the Arms of Vengeance and others for the war.” Lita just slightly smiled and offered the terms, if not for Leylin behind her she would definitely not engage this many people at the same time.
“Very well!” A hint of rare gentleness floated in the conscient’s voice.
“I believe in the future, we will become good friends and please convey our salutations to the Lord.”
The interactions between those at the Morning Star realm was this simple. Once they realised they could not completely annihilate the other party, it was very normal to humble themselves to form good relationships.
Two great forces in heated conflict could sometimes bury the hatchet the next day. All of this was definitely not unlinked to the Morning Star Magi backing them.
If not for Lita and Leylin coming out of the blue this time, how would these starving wolves have been so easy to convince? Perhaps the entire Ouroboros Clan would have been swallowed up without any remains.
*Swoosh!* Many conscients disappeared, and only at this time did everyone below slowly heave a sigh of relief.
For now, the Ouroboros Clan had crossed its predicament.
On the ground, many of the bloodline Warlocks had injuries on their bodies. As they watched the allied army retreat, they could not help but rejoice. Especially upon seeing Lita’s gaze, it was as if they had seen a deity.
They didn’t have a single clue about Leylin actions, not even the Morning Star could trace him from the attack let alone them so, they immediately bowed to Lita and showed their reverence.
In a technical term, Lita and Leylin are actually directed to punishment from the Clan for abandoning their post and staying cooped but with Lita strength who would dare to bring out such stuff and say it in the open.
Faisal, who saw the scene, could only smile bitterly to himself.
He knew that from then on, the entire Ouroboros Clan would probably fall into the hands of the Morning Star Female Warlock floating above. The rise of her family is evident.
After the Morning Star Magus left, Leylin subordinates emerged out of nowhere and attacked the remaining forces. Their attack were very ruthless and dominating as they killed the enemy at an unbelievable speed. Roderick, Cole and Ivy especially took everyone attention as their power was absolutely outstanding. Roderick and Cole both attacked in synergy and no Warlock including the Crystal Phase seed had the confidence of taking them on. Ivy used her beast form as a three headed Cerberus wrecked havoc,
The different spells attacks of fire, water and thunder nature shot out from different heads as she was enjoying the bloodbath. Under Lita domain suppression, the left behind army could only wait like vegetables on a chopping board.
…
The control of the Ouroboros Clan’s regime was originally a senate formed by the 3 Morning Star Warlocks. However, with Lita as the only one left, she could naturally decide everything as she wished, of course the decision made were Leylin and Lita was just the one conveying them.
Lita was in the most luxurious hall in the headquarters. Many high-ranked Warlocks bowed humbly, awaiting orders from the young female Magus on the throne.
“Dark Serpent Section, the military, the technical department… 57 Marquises, as well as many Earls and Viscounts have announced their loyalty to your highness. They are all willing to follow your highness, and revere your highness as the highest veteran of the Ouroboros Clan!”
A smile of flattery hung on Faisal’s face. Like the most loyal dog, his back was hunched almost 90 degrees as he reported to Lita.
“Hm” Lita merely nodded because she wasn’t even listening, the Warlock families would definitely bow to her else they might face innumerable difficulties in the future.
Lita was instead listening to Leylin who was talking to her from quite a distance.
“You did good, you need to sharpen your attacks and not only learn the spell but rather make them unique to yourself but it was a great performance overall. Azure Mountain King has speed up the building of the Magus Tower even more, he got quite a scare from you.” Leylin calm voice filled with authority sounded in her ears.
“I would keep that in mind. All of this only possible because of your trust in me.” Lita had a cold and unmoving face before the Warlocks but behind the scenes she was speaking in a soft and sweet voice like a teenager in love. Everyone would have a heart attack if they saw this contrasting change in her personality.
“It was your hard work and talent, I need you to transfer all the experiment materials from my Magus Tower to the one in headquarters. I would have to ask you to continue my research as I would be taking a leave for a short period. All the necessary details would be conceived and transfer through the A. I. Chip. Speaking of Magus Tower, why don’t you make one for yourself I am sure all the families would jump over the chance of gaining your good grace.” Leylin laughed but Lita knew that he was right, As a Morning Star she deserves a Magus Tower too complementing her new status.
“I would do as you say.” Lita sighed feeling a bit blue that Leylin was leaving as soon as she broke through.
“No need for sadness, believe me you would be very very busy now. I would also need you to join the Warlock Organization and proceed with the plan. We would rendezvous at the Scarlet Ruins.” Leylin explained a few things and spoke some tender words before he left, although he could directly send the information and command via the A. I. Chip he didn’t do something so rude and appalling as it would hurt Lita. She is not only a tool, for her love and devotion towards him he won’t treat her so coldly.
Lita and Leylin finished talking as she watched Faisal and the other Warlocks giving her an abnormal amount of respect, she didn’t feel anything. There was no feeling of superiority or an illusion of power in her mind, actually she was quite indifferent to these feelings. For her, only Leylin matters if not for that how would she have left the Beast World and dived into the endless possibilities and endeavor by following Leylin. For Lita even if there is only eternal damnation, her only wish is to be with him.
Lita looked very cold and every warlock was a bit worried. Ever since the war ended, these Warlocks immediately crowned her lord, showing the utmost respect for her but she didn’t care.
But they couldn’t show any discomfort or discontent as the strong rule, this had always been a fundamental truth!
Furthermore, with Lita’s current strength and the reputation of saving the clan from its perilous situation, even if they disagreed she could force a massacre upon her subordinates. By that time, things would no longer be as simple as handing over power. Hence these Warlocks were very obedient, fearful of Lita finding their weaknesses.
*Thump!* After Freya stepped into the hall, two rows of Warlocks immediately stared at her, giving forth a pressure that even she could not endure.
“Blood serpent Marquis Freya greets Lady Lita!” Freya entered the room, and she just bowed respectfully. She was quite injured which is why she came only now.
Lita nodded to her and all the other Warlock turned green in envy, this is her first reaction to anything!
Freya was also pleased because her decision to support Lita was fruitful and her family was in the good grace of the new Lord of the Ouroboros clan.
