Chapter 30
“En! It’s us who won, but there are still some things to do!”
Leylin notched his bow again and pointed to the girl beside Bicky, “What’s your name?”
“Mo…Molly! Sir!” Witnessing Leylin using the Cloud of Afterlife to torture Torash in such an unthinkable manner, the female acolyte yielded very quickly.
“Very good! Molly! Go up there and take down the severed head of the enemy who tried to murder your friend!”
“No! You can’t do this! Molly is still a kid! I! I will be able to do it for her….”
Bicky stood up.
* Xiu! * At the same time, an arrow shot past the fine hair beside her ears, flying to a distance behind.
“Do not countermand my orders. If not, the next arrow will be through your brain!” Leylin’s eye flashed coldly, seemingly fiendish.
“I will go!” That female acolyte called Molly spoke up and Bicky turned silent.
Leylin nodded his head and used an arrow to point at Torash who was thrashing on the ground. “So then! Hurry and do it!”
The female acolyte gritted her teeth. She took out a knife which was embedded in jewels from her robes and walked forward. Looking on at Torash who was pinned to the ground on his four limbs by four arrows, her expression was extremely complicated.
It was this person, who was deemed as a potential Magus, a genius acolyte who possessed a magic artifact. However, right now his four limbs were pinned to the ground as if a dog that was waiting to be slaughtered.
This feeling extended like vines, spreading its reach in her heart. “Is this the taste of power? How great!”
Looking at the female acolyte raising her dagger, Leylin moved quickly and grabbed Bicky, retreating dozens of metres behind.
“Let me go, you sick pervert!” Bicky continuously thrashed.
From her aspect, this acolyte that Leylin shapeshifted into was a stranger to her. Yet he had an unthinkable power and he was extremely emotionless.
Earlier he said that he was rescuing her, yet in the blink of an eye he pointed an arrow at her and even fired it!
In Bicky’s heart, right now Leylin was now a somewhat powerful madman.
Moreover, in the Magus World, due to problems occurring from experiment and meditations, it was likely possible that their mental state was affected.
Leylin shrugged his shoulders. After maintaining a distance away, he let go of Bicky.
At this moment, both their eyes were shining bright and staring at the female acolyte who was holding a dagger before Torash.
“Acolyte are no fun for me! I should quickly advance into Official Magus, I am quite bored after holding back in a fight!”
” Since you put Bicky life in danger for a stupid reason, you shall pay too! ” Leylin’s eyes looked malevolent as he looked at Molly.
After holding the dagger, Molly looked in Leylin’s direction again. Right now the arrow notched in his bow was still aimed towards her. She could only despair as she closed her eyes and pierced the dagger downwards!
“What a pity!” At this moment, Torash suddenly opened his eyes, revealing death and unresolved regrets in his eyes.
“I never thought that I would really use this move one day, much less to deal with a mere level 2 acolyte!”
* Boom! *
In his voice, countless lightning appeared from Torash’s body. These lightning were extremely violent, and spread through Torash’s body in an instant, even converging inward.
After the lightning had reached an extremely small dot, Torash’s body suddenly exploded, with the noise of the huge boom reverberating throughout the area.
The sound wave continuously swept past everything, uprooting plants and sending pebbles flying.
“Be careful!” In the moment before the explosion occurred, Leylin immediately pulled Bicky to his side and smashed a potion on the ground – Trevor’s Revolving Shield Potion!
At the same time, the Fallen Star Pendant on his neck also emitted a dusky glow.
Under the protection of the potion and the layer of light, the ground under Leylin and Bicky was not touched the slightest. It was even taller than the surrounding area of a certain length.
[Estimated target’s degree of power: 16! spell type – Corpse Combustion: 35.7%, Electric Field: 31.5%]
Although he had the Fallen Star Pendant, it could only resist spells which were 15 degrees or lower. As for Torash’s final self-destruct explosion, it was obviously at 16 degrees, which could break the defence of the Fallen Star Pendant and cause harm to Leylin.
However, the last hit was done by Molly, while Leylin distanced himself dozens of metres behind. Not only did he suffer little collateral damage from the explosion, there was even time to put up his defenses.
“You murderer! Executioner! You knew long ago that the opponent would self-destruct, didn’t you?”
Bicky who was in Leylin’s embrace pushed him away, her pair of pretty eyes filled with tears.
The ground where Torash self-destructed turned into a large pit now; together with bits and pieces of clothing and charred flesh. In the explosion earlier, Torash and that female acolyte, Molly, naturally had died together. Even the remnants of their corpses were mixed together.
Hearing Bicky’s accusation, Leylin only rubbed his nose, without saying anything.
Leylin came and stood next to the large pit formed by the explosion, and a round badge fell near his foot. The originally bright and beautiful badge was now covered with dust and it also had some residual flesh upon it.
“Giving this badge to Jayden will push him to trade with Dorotte for the Healing ‘Flourishing Flower’ as he will be on the hit list of an Official Magus !”
Leylin stepped on the badge below his feet and smiled.
He had had a quick look earlier; Jayden had been knocked out at the border of the battlefield. Although he seemed to be in a miserable state, he managed to preserve his life, and there did not seem to be any life-threatening injuries.
“However, there are still two worms that I have to deal with!”
Leylin looked at the shrubbery at the side and suddenly flung two fiery red explosive potions at it.
* Boom! * The two test tubes collided in midair, creating a large flame which seemed to blanket over the shrubbery.
* Xiu Xiu! * In the moment when the flame engulfed the shrubbery, two black figures flew out from it, landing on an empty patch of ground.
Silver-Claw Saurun and another blonde acolyte looked at the pit where Torash self-destructed, their expressions grim.
“Torash, that lightning wielder, actually died by this fellow’s hands. Oh god, this fellow is a monster!”
Saurun looked at the expressionless Leylin, his heart roaring wildly. Lightning wielder Torash, that was a monster whose reputation was not beneath that of his silver claw! Yet today he actually died by Leylin’s hands, so what kind of strength did Leylin wield?
“If I knew he was that powerful, I wouldn’t be this foolish to chase after him!”
At this moment, the feeling of regret slowly engulfed Saurun’s heart.
“What should be done?” The blonde female acolyte looked at Saurun and cursed him inwardly when she saw that he was already of a mind to retreat.
“What else? We have to see if the opponent will let us go!”
Saurun waved his hands and bowed slightly to Leylin. “Respected acolyte who hails from Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, your strength has convinced me, and I, Saurun, will never hold any ill intents towards you in future….”
Towards Saurun’s gesture of succumbing, the female blond acolyte pursed her lips but never spoke a word.
After seeing Leylin’s might and brutality, even she was somewhat afraid!
As for the revenge of his fellow acolytes? Although the death rate of Whitewoods Castle and Sage Gotham’s Hut was not as high as Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, but there were a few unlucky ones dying each month.
If Saurun and the blonde acolyte were to avenge every dead fellow acolyte, then they would definitely have to first massacre the acolytes within their academy.
The reason for following Leylin before was because they thought of him as a prey, and was prepared to play a good game with him.
But now, Leylin’s ability had far exceeded their expectations, and his actions were extremely meticulous, yet brutal, which made them rather fearful of him.
“Is that so?”
Leylin did not agree nor deny, and kept the black bow in his hands. He also picked up the cross blade which he had thrown on the ground earlier.
“A pity! You should not have followed me!”
Leylin growled softly, at the same time chanting an incantation, and gave his cross blade a smear with his hand.
* Sssii! * The temperature suddenly dropped by a few degrees, and the frost continued to spread on the sword. In an instant, Leylin’s cross blade turned into a transparent icy greatsword.
At this moment, under the effect of the frost alchemy runes, the effect of the icy greatsword did not pale in comparison to a low-grade magic artifact!
“Light of the fallen!” After brandishing his greatsword in satisfaction, Leylin activated another magic artifact on his body.
* Peng! * A streak of an illusory glow was emitted from the Fallen Star Pendant, which engulfed Leylin’s whole body. The silver-grey light slowly transformed into illusory armour, which protected Leylin.
At this moment, Leylin, in his silver armour of light, with a transparent greatsword, looked just like a Knight from the fables!
The A.I. Chip’s reminder continuously sounded in Leylin’s head, [Under the effect of the frost runes, estimated degree of attack with the cross blade is 3 to 5, also carrying the side effect of an ice attack! The entire defense in the Fallen Star Pendant is activated, energy consumed is depleting, estimated to be fully depleted in 15 minutes!]
“We have no choice but to fight!”
Saurun and the other female acolyte looked at each other in the eye and saw the viciousness reflected in their expressions.
From Leylin’s performance, it was clear that he was not inclined to let them go, so no matter how they pleaded it would be meaningless.
Moreover, they were also geniuses with their own pride. They may not fare better in a 1-on-1 fight against Torash, but in a 2 against 1 situation, even Torash would have had a headache from fighting them.
“I’ll stall him first; you prepare your formidable spell!”
Saurun said to the female acolyte and immediately reached out with his right hand.
At this moment, the silver skin on his right hand shimmered and transformed into scales. His fingernails extended and curved downwards, the sharpness bringing a cold glint. His whole silvery human palm turned into silvery beast claw!
A bloodthirsty tint emerged in Saurun’s eyes as he stepped forward to shield the female blonde acolyte behind him.
As for the female blonde acolyte, she continuously drew out ingredients from her robes as she chanted, from time to time using a dagger to cut her skin, dripping her fresh blood on the magic ingredients.
A strong magical energy wave gradually formed around the female blonde acolyte.
“How interesting. A close combat with a far cast, this is indeed a good combination!”
Leylin laughed manically and charged forward.This time he didn’t hold back
* Bang! * With the effect of Leylin’s Agility and strength, Saurun could not even react and only instinctively reach out with his razor claw.
* Peng! * The frost greatsword and the silver claw clashed. An icy, bone-chilling cold permeated to the silver claw, extending onto Saurun’s body.
*Puch*
Saurun claws were broken and his hand become a meat mush. Terrifying pain hit him.
“Haha…. Great! Again!”
Leylin roared wildly, once again brandishing the greatsword and charged forward. Sensing the faint aura about him, Saurun couldn’t help but close his eyes, with a notion of wanting to submit to Leylin.
“Cross Blade Slash!”
Leylin hollered, the frost greatsword drew a beautiful cross. What was different from the previous energy wave was that the Cross Blade Slash now had formed a layer of ice which was sent chopping towards Saurun.
“Argh!” Saurun’s eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and raised the broken silver claw before his body. The scales on the silvery claw quickly extended and took on the form of a small shield to block the attack.
* Chi! * The greatsword broke apart Saurun’s silver defense and his hand was detached. Not only were there white ice forming, the chilliness also permeated the area.
An icy-cold sensation continuously spread within his body and Saurun was aghast upon having discovered that his hand is chopped off.
“Die!”
Leylin unhesitatingly brought the sword to Saurun’s neck in order to behead him.
“No!” bellowed Saurun, waving the stub of his left hand. His left hand had by now turned silver and the fingertips had a faint blackish tinge and he aimed a stab at Leylin’s abdomen.
Within the academy, all the apprentices knew that Saurun’s achievements in Transfiguration far exceeded that of other similar disciples and that his right hand could transform and become a sharp, incomparable killing machine.
However, all of the acolytes were deceived by Saurun. His left hand was the real trump card!
Not only could he use beast transfiguration for his silver-claw attack, it even had a Shadow and Toxic element that Saurun had paid a high price for. As long as the poison were to be smeared onto the opponent’s skin, even an official Magus would be in trouble!
On the brink of death, Saurun adopted a fighting method that would result in both parties being severely injured, for the sliver of a chance at survival!
* Peng! *
Leylin’s expression didn’t change at all. he knew full well about his Trump Card, that is the reason why he didn’t just charged ahead and be done with it, but instead used Frost ruin to slow Saurun reaction time.
He Dodged the left claw and At the same time, the frost greatsword swung down mercilessly as it severed Saurun’s head from his neck.
