……
The three Radiant Moon steel their resolve and attacked immediately to get rid of Lita and the ‘Leylin’ before them as soon as possible, because the uprising infamous Radiant Moon Warlock was hightailing towards them.
As they were about to struck, the clone Leylin who was already at its last leg because of releasing an explosive defence mechanism dove before them.
*Hss hss!* The terrifying amber slits of the Kemoyin Serpent Emperor’s eyes fixed onto the weakest member, Carol.
A layer of ash-white stone began to emerge on her body which she resisted with her own soul force.
*Boom! Boom!* The Clone let the opponents’ attacks land on his back, scales and flesh flying as he charged into the centre of their attack formation. Numerous black shadow claws appeared and forcefully grabbed Carol.
The Giant Kemoyin Serpent of clone Leylin attacked them as it proceeded to wrap them and explode thunderously.
*Boom*
Lita saw this chance and immediately retreated, she just needs to stay outside their encircle for a few moments and Leylin would be here.
The clone’s self destruct was ridiculously strong reaching the might of a Rank 5 Spell, it immediately caused all the enemy Radiant Moons to use their best defensive method to protect themselves.
“Damn it! This worthless fucker! Quick! We need to kill Lita Raiz, it takes priority.” The Leader exclaimed as their mission was to kill the bird in its nest.
“She is very strong! How the hell is a Morning Star so tyrannical!” Eugene asked.
“If we don’t kill her, she may very well accomplish the impossible and evolve to Kemoyin Serpent Emperor!” The leader seemed to have thought of something as he exclaimed, “We cannot let the Legend come true!”
“Legend?” What legend?” Carol wiped off the blood at the corner of her lips. Her truesoul had been injured by abrupt explosion as well as the destruction of the previous isolation spell, and she was no longer in the best shape.
All three of them wasted no time as they streaked towards Lita and used different attacks to kill her, their offensive attacks connected on the huge serpent as Lita was left with no choice but to endure.
*Pu!* The opponents cooperated to deal another blow, soul blades carving out a huge wound on Lita’s back.
“I’ve heard the Monarch mention that Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks carry the bloodline of the Snake Dowager. Although very low, there is a chance of a rank 5 emperor appearing amongst them.” The leader’s voice was very low, and Carol and Eugene could even hear a tremble in it, “And after the appearance of the Kemoyin Emperor, the entire Kemoyin Race will unify under them to regain the glory of the bloodline Warlocks…”
“That’s obviously just a prophecy. Who’s going to believe that?” Eugene pursed his lips in disdain, as he went forward to attack physically since Lita was able to dodge most of the brunt of their spell.
“If it were merely another prophecy, nobody would believe it, but what if the person who had made it was the great astrologer, Magus Derrick? And what if I told you he sacrificed his life to do it?” The leader glanced at Eugene and they entrapped Lita in a triangle.
Carol and Eugene eye widen, their eyes now full of fear towards the Legend now.
Derrick was the legendary Radiant Moon Magus who was the most likely prophet to reach Breaking Dawn. His prophecy was the reason why even as they suppressed the bloodline Warlocks, they been paying close attention to the Ouroboros Clan. If it weren’t for the fear of turbulences of ill destiny appearing, which would cause them to join the dark side, They would long since have eliminated the bloodlines of them long ago.
“So Lita has the hope of awakening that bloodline?” Carol’s expression turned grim.
“Yes! No matter the cost, Lita must die today!” The Radiant Moon Magi used their soul force to open a communication channel, and made a decision in practically an instant. It was at this moment Lita, the large black serpent attacked them as well.
Lita exchanged blows like a lunatic, injury for another injury, crimson energy blades flying everywhere and causing the three Magi to find it difficult to keep up.
A crimson crescent of an energy blade shot out from the giant serpent phantom’s stomach, heading straight for Carol.
“It’s an attack from a piece of high-grade magic equipment!” Their expressions changed, and Carol quickly retreated, her innate defensive spells flickering into existence. The undulations of energy from middle-grade magic equipment burst forth, fighting against the crimson blades of light.
The crimson blades only dissipated after three pieces of middle-grade magic equipment exploded in quick succession, revealing a Carol who looked deathly pale.
“Your end is near, for the Lord of Death has been irked.” The giant phantom serpent coiled up, and the otherworldly beautiful face of a female magus was revealed as Lita stared at these three Magi coldly.
Leylin has given her the high-grade magical equipment Crescent Earrings as a protective charm which she used at the last moment, her whole body was full of injuries but currently she wasn’t afraid at all because she can feel the anger and presence of the harbinger of chaos.
Lita looked at the horizon with reverence and fear, even though his malicious intent wasn’t directed to her, her body freeze in that magnificent beings premises.
*Hss!* The person heading towards them at full speed was obviously angered by their final attack against Lita. The horrifying phantom of a Adhishesha appeared behind his back. Concentrated black gases engulfed everything in their path, sweeping in their direction as darkness descended.
*Whoosh!* The obstructions on the way, be they stones, mud or anything else, turned into nothing in a split second.
Eugene’s pupils constricted as he stared at the person charging at the with the speed of light. “Is that the Rank 5 Warlock? Why do I feel so repressed? It looks so different from anything I have ever seen before, what is that?” his hand trembled, “Why does a Radiant Moon who burst into the scene just recently have such a powerful aura?”
“All of you! Die!” The phantom behind Leylin brought despair as everything crushed even as he was shouting.
“Shit! We have to leave!” Sparks of black fire flashed, and it seemed as though the serpent took a big bite of every place Leylin passed, loud snaps echoing again and again.
Just the sweep of his gaze caused these three Radiant Moon Magi to feel their scalps go numb, as if they were being watched by some terrifying unmatched being.
The opponent had an unrecognizable black face and black body. Even if they have acquired information about him before, They had to admit that this high-ranked Warlock is beyond their estimation, probably only a Monarch could subdue him.
The undulation he was giving off was suffocating even for them.
“I have been waiting.” Leylin watched the three Magi, and said something which immediately confused them.
The trio was two peak New Moons as well as a Full Moon Magus! Even though Leylin always tries to overestimate his opponent he still knows that they aren’t a match for him even combined.
He would be able to kill them if he used Sun Child’s imprint Scorching Nirvana, not to mention other ways too.
But currently, Leylin only needed to vent the fury in his heart! Their attack against Lita and destruction of a clone has enraged him to no end. He obviously knew that something like this is bound to happen and he was prepared as well as he anticipated this.
‘I was thinking about how to get ‘that’ from you and here you are, just granting what I desire. Let’s get rid of the nuisances.’
The leader of the Magi watched Leylin, his eyes first flickering with terror but then glowing with a staunch resolve. “Warlock Kilvish, this isn’t an issue you should be meddling in, its between us and Warlock Lita Raiz! If you don’t return then you would become our enemy and have to die here today with her!”
Leylin looked at them nonchalantly with no whatsoever change in expression, his figure was as if made from steel with no emotion and response just his flaring monstrous killing intent radiating out.
“Radiant Moon spell formation, three souls in one!” The three understood that they are in for a battle as bright figure of a full moon appeared behind the leader’s back, and Full Moon soul force burst forth, bringing with it a piercing chill.
Eugene and Carol stepped into formation behind him, each of them at the three corners of a triangle with this leader at the head. The soul force from their truesouls merged as well. Three cold radiant souls unified, appearing in front of Leylin like lightning.
“As a lofty Radiant Moon, you have forgotten some human emotions so let me help you remember one of them, remember to embrace this feeling as it is —Despair.” The giant Adhishesha roared, and multi color runes began to spread across Leylin’s body.
After reaching Radiant Moon and becoming a rank 5 Warlock and being in the presence of the Phoenix egg all the time, his truesoul was tyrannically strong even in comparison to the combined truesouls of his opponents. With their spell formation, they’d tried to suppress him to the maximum, but Leylin recounted to the point that even his domain had minimum suppression from them.
Leylin’s shook his head which cause the three Radiant moon’s heart to jump, the image of a truesoul similarly appearing behind him and soul force at rank 5 being released. Cold moonlight that brought with it a terrifying soul force competed with theirs.
The danger of such a battle was far greater than one of the spells. Just a slight misstep could push any of them to a point of no return.
The void was still, with no sound being emitted. A formless ripple was quickly spreading in all directions, and all beings in range of this battle between soul force, ordinary or otherwise, collapsed without a sound. Terrifying soul undulations even spread far as many attentions were turned, currently they were in a forbidden land so weren’t much casualties ignoring the weird radiation creatures in the forgotten land of course.
*Pu!* Leylin abruptly took a step forward as blood flowed down from the nose of the three attackers. In the battle between soul force, he had clearly been on the winning end.
The Radiant Moon Magi weren’t faring very well, the huge loss of soul force causing their faces to turn pale.
“He’s already at the peak of Full Moon?” The leader stared at Leylin in disbelief. He couldn’t actually read Leylin strength but he estimated that he would definitely not be able to match him one on one confrontation.
These three knew full well how difficult it was for Radiant Moon Magi to advance, and the opponent was a newly-renowned Warlock, they don’t know much about him but according to all the database he shouldn’t be very old.
And in such a short period of time, he had pushed his soul force to peak Full Moon, and that was a huge shock for him.
Traces of jealousy began to form in the depths of their heart, even, nibbling at their spirit like a toxic serpent.
“Fall back! We don’t wish to involve you in our affair, even if you can match us, what would you do when the Monarch descends, returning now is the only way out for you!” The Magus Leader watched Leylin, and hummed coldly.
“It’s not so easy for a Monarch to come here, at most a clone could arrive in a few minutes but, I would been long done by then.” Leylin sneered instead, giving his opponent a bad omen.
“Destruction!” The tremendous and elegant Adhishesha figure appeared behind him, widening it’s huge mouth towards the three Radiant Moon Magi.
A terrifying black lighting ball was produced, causing everything within range, even light and space, shudder. The powerful force beam out from the mouth and gave rise to a horrifying energy storm.
*Rumble!* In an instant, the ground under the three Radiant Moon Magi turned nothing as an unending destruction flowed causing them serious injuries.
This was especially so for the frail Carol. Due to the backlash from before as well as the clone self destruction, she was now in a bad situation.
“This isn’t working. He is just too terrifying!” The leader of the Magi felt a chill in his heart. They had not been able to fend off against Leylin’s attacks at all, there was some strange destructive force in the previous attack which is gnawing at their truesouls.
Leylin was contending with them with no qualms whatsoever!
“Let’s go into a spatial rift. Then we would be able to use our best attack spells!” His eyes flickered as he found the way to get to the edge of the world, they cannot use Arcane Arts here in the central continent it would be very destructive and other monarch may join hands to destroy them afterwards.
“You don’t get to choose, I do!” Crimson light flashed in Leylin’s eyes.
Light burst forth as the spell formation that combined the power of three souls was broken through.
“Ahh!” Eugene and the leader gasped as Leylin used this opportunity and, quickly pulled the three into the spatial crack.
The tremendous snarling figure of the immortal snake took the three and flied to the spatial crack while Leylin continued his attack.
“Carol!” At this moment, the opponents were gazing at Carol, who was in Leylin’s hand, and a trace of despair appeared on their expressions.
The female Magus was unconscious. Leylin currently possessed Purple Demon eyes, and the damage his innate spell could cause had risen greatly. Even Radiant Moon Magi would not be immune to such an attack.
Leylin lifted her body by the throat.
“What are you going to do? If you dare to attack Carol, our King won’t let you off!” Eugene exclaimed.
“We would see about that won’t we! but don’t you worry about me, worry for yourself only.” Leylin’s voice was light, but his tone was ice-cold.
“This is the price of provoking me! You or your King, you will all perish!”*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* The Adishesha devoured her whole as Leylin rejoined, ‘The most important objective is complete, now let’s reap some sentient force.’
In that moment, Eugene and the leader were caught in a daze. They had never expected Leylin to be so powerful, and for him to be so merciless.
“You dare— you dare— ” The Magus leader trembled, evidently completely infuriated.
“You have no idea about the atrocities I am daring to commit in order to achieve my goals.” Leylin suddenly snickered.
A strange situation occurred as Eugene and the Leader expressions changed.
“The astral plane! The astral plane hasn’t opened up to receive her truesoul! What happened? Did he not kill her or did he?” They could not help but gaze at Leylin with fear in their eyes.
