Warlock of the Magus World 1-596

by Wen Chao Gong

  * Ding Ling Ling! * With a crisp bell sound, a black-robed figure emerged from the crowd.

  “Official Magus!” Leylin exclaimed silently. Although he was not the same as before, compared to an official Magus, he was still an ant.

  The A.I. Chip was also helpless, as it was blocked by the defensive force field surrounding the official Magus.

  “All of you, enter the main hall and go to your respective allocated areas as is indicated by your card number. I will only wait for 5 minutes, and those who aren’t there by then will be immediately disqualified!”

  The black robed figure’s voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasing to the ears.

  After finishing his speech, the black-robed Magus shook his robe, and his body split apart, turning into innumerable bats, which flew away.

  The acolytes that were present looked each other in the eye.

  * Bang! * Not knowing who made the first move, the whole hall clamoured and squeezed through into the main hall.

  Although Leylin was not in a hurry, his body was involuntarily pushed into the hall with the crowd.

  With a great effort, he managed to get to his experiment table.

  The number 32 was scribbled on the corner of a pure white table. There were also a few herbs, ingredients and a piece of parchment paper on the table. With just a whiff Leylin knew that these were the necessary ingredients for a healing potion.

  “Five minutes are up, any acolyte who has not found their place is deemed disqualified!”

  The black robed Magus’ voice sounded again. At the same time, there were cries from many acolytes.

  Leylin saw an unlucky fellow beside him, who was just one step away from his table, grabbed by a black bat and thrown outside of the hall.

  “The topic, this time, is to brew a healing potion! The formula and ingredients are on the experiment table, and you will have 3 hours….”

  After dealing with the group of disqualified acolytes, the black robed Magus’ voice sounded yet again.

  “Your every move is under my vigilance, so do not try to cheat your way through it. If not, I will educate you on a lesson of blood!”

  “As expected!” Leylin picked up the parchment paper, and it was indeed the formula of a healing potion.

  “Such an elementary potion like this, I have brewed it so many times that I could vomit !”

  Leylin felt extremely frustrated, but he still skillfully picked up a beaker…

  To an outsider, Leylin’s every movement now was textbook standard. His arms were strong, and they did not quiver. During the process of brewing, every action was filled with a unique aesthetic movement.

  * Drip! *

  A drop of green liquid was placed into a test tube, and the whole test tube momentarily turned red.

  “It’s completed!” Leylin looked at the A.I. Chip’s recording time, “1 hour 20 minutes? It seems like I have become a little bit rusty!”

  “En! Very good, it’s completed!”

  A black bat immediately flew onto Leylin’s experiment table and scrutinised Leylin’s potion.

  “Sir!” Leylin hurriedly bowed.

  “I recognise you! Aren’t you Leylin? The apprentice of that old geezer Kroft! The heavens are really unfair; he already had such an outstanding apprentice, Merlin, yet now, it even sent you to him….”

  The bat seemed to recognise Kroft, and muttered by the side. Leylin maintained his silence throughout.

  Leylin had no thoughts of establishing a relationship with a Magus, and he did not have the ability to do so either.

  “Alright! Let me sniff the potion!

  It could be seen that after seeing Leylin keep his silence like a log, the bat cursed for a while before suddenly speaking.

  Leylin opened the plug on the test tube and placed it below the bat’s head.

  “En! Healing potion! The quality is excellent! Kiddo, you have passed!”

  The bat somewhat regretfully flew away, and let off an unpleasant voice, “Leylin! Consider changing professors and joining me….”

  Towards this, Leylin could only smile wryly.

  ……

  The Potioneering competition carried on for two days and one night.

  Fortunately, the acolytes could all manipulate the energy particles to strengthen their bodies, so they could endure throughout the entirety of the competition.

  Leylin had also been brewing potions in these two days.

  Along with the intensity of the competition, the topics given by the academy became more and more difficult. Bicky had already been eliminated in the third round. At the very end, they moved on to beginner potions.

  Through these series of tests, Leylin distinguished himself above the rest, and stormed through the competition with his senior, Merlin.

  As for the contents of the finals, it was to brew a Hofdor’s Water of Radiance. This was a kind of healing potion that was able to treat injuries caused by negative energy spells. Even amongst the beginner potions, it was known to be extremely difficult to brew.

  Although Leylin had the confidence to brew it successfully with the A.I. Chip, for concealment reasons, he spontaneously pretended to make a mistake, and lost to Merlin, taking second place.

  Deep in the night, Leylin returned to his dorm, and tossed the second prize reward, a Fiery Combustion Potion, aside.

  This type of attack potion had a might of 8 to 9 degrees, which could be considered to be an extremely remarkable trump card for a Level 3 Acolyte. However, it was not worthy in Leylin’s eyes.

  Since a year ago, he could already brew a potion like this on his own.

  “It’s finally over. What’s left is to wholeheartedly prepare for the secret plane bloodbath!”

  Concerning the bloodbath between the few academies, it couldn’t just be glossed over hastily like the academy competitions.

  Even during the intra-school fighting competition, there was only a loss of a few acolytes’ lives due to mishaps.

  However, during the bloodbath, it was two against one, and their enemy’s goal was to eradicate the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

  * Dong Dong Dong! *

  While deep in thought, Leylin heard a knocking noise outside the door.

  “Who is it? It’s so late already!” Leylin was rather unhappy as he opened the door.

  “It’s me!” Outside the door, there was a girl wrapped in a cloak, and her voice sounded coquettish.

  “You are… Bic…” Before Leylin could finish, his lips were already sealed. The door closed and the cloak slipped off, revealing an ample yet provocative and naked body.

  “This is… What’s happening?”

  After Leylin recovered his senses, he was already lying on his own bed, with a girl continuously writhing on top of him.

  Feeling the pleasure underneath his body, Leylin resisted his urges and temptation to touch Bicky’s waist, which made her stop in her movements, “Why are you doing this?”

  “Because… I can’t think of a better way to console you! Leylin! Don’t be upset! The loss is only temporary…”

  Bicky pouted lovably.

  “I…”

  Leylin was extremely at a loss for words. If he could look in the mirror, he would definitely be putting on a wry smile.

  He deliberately lost on purpose, yet he did not think that this silly girl Bicky would actually be fooled by him. Thinking that he would be devastated, she offered herself to ‘console’ him.

  At the same time, Leylin lost all his hopes towards the wanton practices in this world.

  “Alright then! How about Fayle? Aren’t you his girlfriend?”

  Leylin asked.

  “He wouldn’t know. Besides, before marriage, I have my freedom!” Bicky revealed a coquettish smile and gradually started to thrust her waist again.

  “So then, what happens after marriage?” Leylin was somewhat unhappy and quickened his motions.

  The delicate beauty panted for a while before speaking with great effort, “Ma… After marria
ge, I have to guard my body for Fayle!”

  Leylin then performed another deep penetrating thrust, which made Bicky moan with a shrill voice. She then collapsed in Leylin’s embrace, as if all the bones in her body were removed.

  “You are really… Alright then! After I have borne a child for Fayle and confirmed with a blood test, whenever you want it, you can look for me…”

  Bicky’s face blushed, and buried her head in Leylin’s arms.

  “What is this? I let Fayle wear a green hat in advance?”

  Leylin thought at the back of his mind, as his hands involuntarily grabbed on Bicky’s peaks of abundance, and began to move wildly.

  In the morning, Leylin stroked the bare body of the girl, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry, “I never thought that I would become a friend with benefits….”

  88 - The Bloodbath Begins

  Looking at Bicky lying in his arms, Leylin’s expression was complicated.

  Regarding the fact that she threw herself at him the previous night, Leylin guessed that there were a few reasons behind it. First it was that Bicky had a favourable impression of him. As she did not have the heart to watch him be defeated, she came here to console him. The second was that this world’s practices were generally more open, and Bicky wasn’t a virgin before she did it with him – she had obviously had intercourse before. Finally, due to the bloodbath that was drawing closer, she was restless mentally, so her subconscious mind made the decision to do some stimulating activities and thus vent her frustration.

  However, no matter what the reasons were, Bicky was a beauty, and Leylin was not on the losing end.

  “Ah?!” Suddenly, the female body on Leylin shook, and sat upright.

  “What time is it? It’s actually 7 o’clock. Not good, I have to go to Mentor’s experiment lab….”

  Bicky hurriedly left the bed, and revealed that exquisite body once again to Leylin. She quickly did the buttons on her robes, before giving Leylin a light peck on his cheeks and then scurrying out of the room.

  “Really….” Leylin looked at Bicky’s departing figure and smiled wryly.

  Very soon, the romance of last night was thrown to the back of Leylin’s mind.

  The secret plane bloodbath drew closer – it was one which none of the acolytes in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy could avoid.

  Especially those fifth-grade acolytes with genius aptitude, they were the target of the opposing academies.

  On the contrary, Leylin only had some talent in Potioneering; furthermore he had his senior Merlin to garner all unwanted attention, so he would not be in the limelight.

  This was one of the reasons why Leylin never revealed his true abilities.

  What followed next was Leylin holing up in his experiment lab, familiarising himself with the Fallen Star Pendant, and using the A.I. Chip to analyse the spell models. Also, he simulated those Rank 0 spells with high degrees of attack to be used in conjunction with his attack potions, in preparation for the secret plane bloodbath.

  ……

  The clouds were a patch of grey, and from time to time it drizzled, which made people feel like shadow was looming over them on the horizon.

  Acolytes wearing grey robes were crammed into a field full of wild grasses. Each of them had a solemn expression, and their eyes brought possible vicious or vacant looks.

  A few black and white robed official Magi stood before them.

  Leylin stood somewhere at the corner of the acolytes and maintained a low profile, and now and then stole glances at the professors in front of him.

  At the forefront of the professors was a large bloke – wearing black robes – who stood still, and subconsciously, strands of energy waves radiated out from his body which made Leylin’s Spiritual Force circulation feel rather sluggish.

  “That person is definitely the chairman of our Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, a Rank 2 Magus of the legends!”

  Leylin bowed his head lower, not daring to raise his head again.

  As for the desire to use the A.I. Chip to scan, Leylin buried it deep within his heart. The might of a Rank 2 Magus was extremely mysterious, and Leylin had no confidence in concealing this A.I. Chip from him.

  Moreover, right now the A.I. Chip could not even break past the barriers of a Rank 1 Magus, so he needn’t embarrass himself further.

  “But… are we activating the secret plane right here?”

  Leylin looked at the surroundings. Under the dimly-lit sky, the field was dead silent, the rodents and lizards as if discovering a great battle was coming, had long since left the place.

  Amongst the acolytes, Leylin even saw Bicky, Merlin, Nyssa, Jayden and the like.

  Jayden stood at the forefront of the acolytes, and his face was extremely gloomy. There were thick, dark circles around his eyes, and it seemed that his condition was not too great.

  Nyssa stood at the end of the crowd, and her whole figure was draped in grey robes, which was extremely low profile.

  As for Bicky and Merlin, they were muttering to each other.

  After seeing Leylin, Bicky even gave him a smile.

  “Bicky has a few attack potions that I gave her, and she isn’t an important target, so most likely she’ll be alright!”

  Leylin comforted himself.

  “They’re here! They’re here!”

  Suddenly, a ruckus was caused amongst the acolytes, which broke Leylin’s train of thoughts.

  Leylin inhaled a mouthful of air and raised his head to look at the distance.

  On the far horizon, a black spot suddenly appeared. With the black spot gradually approaching, its size, too, grew larger and larger.

  When the black spot arrived in front of Abyssal Bone Forest Academy’s representatives, Leylin managed to see the full appearance of this creature.

  It was a giant beetle, with eight long and sturdy legs. Each of them was over a dozen metres long. On top of the tiny head of the beetle, was a pair of compound eyes which was looking down on the masses of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

  [The target has a layer of defensive barrier, and is primarily categorized as a Rank 1 Magus. Host is recommended to stay far away from the target]

  At this moment, the A.I. Chip’s voice intoned, which made Leylin realise how formidable this beetle was.

  “Sssii!”

  From the giant beetle, a few drops of yellowish green saliva drooled from its mouth, which fell onto the ground corroding a large pit.

  The surrounding acolytes backed away in unison. Their faces were pale, seemingly shocked by it.

  “What are you afraid of? It’s just an Abyss Steeled-Back Beetle!”

  “Silence!”

  Under the restrictions set by the professors in front, the acolytes then gradually recovered from their fright.
