Warlock of the Magus World 1-596

by Wen Chao Gong

  Leylin did not assume that after advancing into a Rank 1 Warlock, he would be able to eradicate this family.

  Moreover, at the very end, the Chairman Siley of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy will definitely appear. This was a Rank 2 Magus! An existence Leylin had no chance against right now!

  As the representative of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, Siley will definitely take action!

  After thinking for some while, Leylin felt that deserting the school was his best choice.

  As for whether his professors and friends would be implicated?

  No matter if it was Kroft, or the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy members, or even Nyssa and the other acolytes, they were all members of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.

  As one of the three big families, the Lilytell Family had to maintain its decorum of nobility and exercise the compliance of rules.

  Towards this, the noble family amongst regular humans which Leylin was born in were not much different.

  Moreover, even if the Lilytell Family did not want face at the end and used other people as hostage to capture him, so what?

  Would Leylin be this foolish to walk right into this trap?

  Although Leylin would offer his help for Bicky and the rest of them, it always came with a prerequisite. That he had enough power to do it and it would not bring him much trouble.

  Once exceeding this threshold, Leylin would somewhat become cold-blooded.

  To put it in another way: even if the Lilytell Family went to the Chernobyl Islands and used the Farlier Family as a hostage to threaten him, Leylin would not give two hoots about it.

  At the very most, after his power had increased, he would return to exterminate the Lilytell Family, thus avenging the Farlier Family.

  Leylin thought of his plans as he rode on a horse along the road.

  *Thud Thud!*

  With the fast trampling of the horse hoofs, they ran past a forest.

  As for Leylin, he had been squinting his eyes. At this moment, they were suddenly opened, and a streak of toying expression appeared on his face.

  *Pu!*

  Just when the horse was about to leave the forest clearing, several arcs of light shot out from the trees.

  *Ka-Cha!*

  With a huge boom, the fine steed was severed into a few pieces, bleeding out a huge amount of blood and intestines.

  At that moment when the light hit his horse, Leylin used his palm to press on the horse, grabbed his knapsack and jumped away from it.

  When both of his feet landed on the ground, he realised he had been surrounded by a group of black-robed figures.

  They all gave off the energy waves of Level 3 Acolytes. A few of them also had the aura of Magic Artifacts radiating from their bodies. As for the one in the centre, his strength had already reached the standard of an official Magus!

  The clothes on these black robed figures had an image of several crows stitched on with a gold lining on it.

  “Such a getup? The Academy’s Enforcement Squad?”

  Leylin already guessed who they were, and calmness showed on his face.

  “Leylin! Someone has accused you of killing your fellow Level 3 Acolytes. Bosain, Jayden, Shaya and Roth. Come back with us for your trial!”

  The scarred faced leader did not hide the killing intent in his eyes.

  Leylin understood that the Lilytell Family had finally investigated the matter previously, and even push the blame of the other Level 3 Acolytes death onto his head.

  “And if I say no?”

  The people who surrounded Leylin were not only Level 3 Acolytes but also an official Magus. Before his advancement, he could not even escape such a formation. But now, Leylin had an impulse and was rather eager to battle.

  “Defying the Enforcement Squad! Kill on the spot!”

  The official Magus, Scarface, unleashed his killing intent and waved his hands.

  Many incantations sounded, and various energy waves were emitted.

  Dazzling fireballs! Jade green corrosive acid! Purple blades, as well as several other Magic Artifacts were used, appearing above Leylin’s head.

  *Bang!*

  A huge pit appeared on where Leylin stood. On the sides there were still flames burning, the surroundings littered with broken bones and mutilated corpses.

  “He’s already killed?” An acolyte behind Scarface spoke.

  “Boom!”

  Suddenly, the acolyte’s brains exploded with the white brain juices and blood splattering on the ground.

  “Ted?!”

  The group members behind him shouted with faces of disbelief.

  *Sua! Sua! Sua!*

  Arrows were immediately shot off, causing the Level 3 Acolytes behind the official Magus to have their heads explode.

  “This is? Illusionary Spell?” Scarface shouted and immediately chanted an incantation.

  *Sssii!*!

  Ear piercing wails continuously sounded, and the air in the surroundings seemed to undulate like waves in the water.

  The void seemed to be ripped open like the curtains from a theatre. Scarface looked at the surroundings. The Level 3 Acolytes were all laying on the ground with their eyes shut tightly, not knowing if they were still alive or dead.

  However, at this moment, the official Magus did not pay any more attention to them.

  “You… Advanced?” Scarface had a shocked expression, “You actually… Advanced into an official Magus at 18 years old!”

  “What a frightening talent. A pity you have offended the Lilytell Family, so you’re destined to die here!”

  Scarface licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty expression. “Let me introduce myself. Clayde is my name, Clayde Lilytell!”

  127 - Defeat

  The moment Clayde declared his name, Leylin gave out an order silently.

  “A.I. Chip, Scan the target in front of me!”

  [Beep! Mission establishing, scanning in progress… A defensive forcefield around the target detected, unable to collect data!]

  As expected, the A.I. Chip still gave the same answer.

  “Which is to say, if I broke through the layer of forcefield, I’ll be able to scan it?”

  Leylin used an immense force on his legs and charged towards Clayde like a bullet.

  *Bang!*

  Leylin’s right hand bulged, and the strength of his fist reached 7.1 degrees, smashing onto Clayde’s chest.

  The sound like a hammer striking at leather sounded. With a huge spark, Clayde was sent flying backwards.

  Leylin stood at where Clayde stood originally as he looked at his arm.

  Black scales appeared above the skin. On the scales, there were tiny traces of flames continuously flickering.

  [Data of target’s defensive forcefield obtained, comparing to database!]

  [Determined target’s innate spell as high-temperature forcefield, creating a flame of 24 degrees to burn objects within its vicinity!]

  [Target’s forcefield damaged: 4.6%. 20 more strikes are estimated to break the defensive forcefield!]

  The A.I. Chip reported to data to Leylin.

  “Cough cough…”

  At this moment, Clayde who was lying on the ground got up. There was soot on his somewhat dirtied face.

  “What tremendous speed and strength! A pity that you only advanced not too long ago, so how many Rank 1 Spell could you have learnt? Two? One? Or do you only have your innate forcefield?”

  Clayde patted his chest and yelled.

  Often Magi, who just advanced were in their weakest stages, not to mention memorising a few Rank 1 Spells. More often than not, they could not afford a single use scroll or Magic Artifact either.

  After Clayde had finished yelling, he chanted an incantation immediately.

  The energy particles in the air changed visibly, shining a dazzling yellow light.

  “This might, at least 20 degrees…”

  Leylin’s expression turned solemn. Right now his Kemoyin’s Scales resistance was only at 27 degrees. It
was considered pretty good amongst newly advanced Magi, but it could not fend off all of the Rank 1 Spells.

  Only by continuously tapping into the strength of the bloodline, the Kemoyin’s Scales would become stronger.

  As for now, once the opponent’s attack exceeded 27 degrees, it would immediately break through his forcefield.

  “I can’t let him cast any spells!” Leylin’s pupils contracted

  *Crash!* The black light flickered, and finely articulated scales surfaced on his body, even his face was included.

  In an instant, Leylin was covered by a layer of snake’s scales. He right now looked half snake and half human.

  The blackness of the scales had an ancient aura and reflected a cold, glossy light which sent Clayde’s heart racing a little faster.

  “Such a defensive forcefield? So strong!”

  “Die!” Leylin shouted, and he moved quicker than before, charging towards Clayde.

  Clayde snorted, and a layer of green light appeared on his body which turned into thorns as they blocked Leylin.

  *Bang!* *Bang!*

  Leylin’s expression did not change as he swung his fists. After two punches, the thorns shattered.

  After covering himself with the Kemoyin’s Scales and coupling it with his Strength, Leylin was now like an ancient creature, with an aura that was unstoppable.

  Clayde face turned rather unsightly after seeing Leylin breaking through the thorns like wild grass.

  “You damned worm! What other methods you have, use them all now!”

  Leylin howled and felt every drop of his blood being set ablaze. It made his appetite to battle even more intense than before.

  “Damn it!” As Clayde chanted, he kept on changing positions. Moreover, he even activated several Magic Artifacts to block Leylin from advancing.

  Although the might of these low-grade Magic Artifacts were not strong and mostly restraint type, breaking through them still required some effort.

  After Leylin broke through another layer of ice, Clayde finally finished his incantation of a Rank 1 Spell. An enormous blue fireball was sent flying towards Leylin.

  *Boom!*

  After the heat wave had dissipated, the mud around the area melted, creating a large pit.

  “Haha… No one could survive after being hit by my corrosive fireball!”

  Clayde laughed heartily. The joy of killing a genius early in developing stages swelled in his chest.

  However, Clayde’s expression very soon changed and he hurriedly retreated several steps, as if he saw something unfathomable.

  “How… How’s this possible, he’s actually still alive?”

  In the sea of blue fire, a human figure parted the flames and walked out from it.

  At this moment, Leylin’s clothes were thoroughly razed to ashes, revealing his scaly body. The A.I. Chip’s warning continuously rang within his ear.

  [Host has suffered an energy attack! Element: Fire, Acid. Estimated power: 20 degrees. Actual power: 26 degrees. Host’s innate spell, Kemoyin’s Scales, was activated! Energy consumed: 34%. No harm dealt directly to Host!]

  “It’s actually an attack of 26 degrees. Just one more degree to breaking my defense!”

  Leylin had some lingering fear before it manifested into a stronger killing intent!

  *Bang!* His figure flickered and appeared right in front of Clayde. The fist covered with scales punched Clayde’s chest with a tremendous might.

  *Crash!* A bright red flame rose from Clayde’s chest, engulfing Leylin’s fist within.

  *Bang!* Clayde’s face turned red as he was sent flying backwards.

  Leylin stepped forward, ignoring the flames on his body as he throttled Clayde.

  “Run! Why don’t you run again?”

  Leylin’s expression turned malevolent, ramming fists after fists on Clayde’s body.

  *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

  Massive explosions sounded continuously, and the earth quivered as if there was an earthquake.

  Finally, after some time, Clayde cried out, and the flames on his body disappeared.

  [Target’s defensive forcefield broken, acquiring data…]

  The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned, bringing Leylin, who was somewhat frenzied back to his senses.

  “What happened? I was actually this impulsive and reckless?”

  Thinking of how he did not dodge or block as he smashed his opponent’s defensive forcefield, cold sweat trickled down Leylin’s forehead.

  Normally he would have never acted that way. Not to mention the final barrage of attack like a madman was not his way of handling things usually.

  [Clayde Lilytell. Strength: 4.5, Agility: 3.7, Vitality: 5.6, Spiritual Force: 31. Elemental Essence Conversion: Fire! Progress: 30%…]

  Clayde, who was lying on the ground, had his data extracted and sent to Leylin.

  “Elemental Essence Conversion? No wonder his acidic fireball was so strong!” Realisation appeared on Leylin’s face.

  After advancing into a Rank 1 Magus, if one wanted to advance again, the basic conditions was to complete the Elemental Essence Conversion!

  At this time, the importance of having an affinity for elements was finally shown. If one does not choose the highest affinity element to cultivate in, it’s impossible to have the Elemental Essence Conversion progress to get over 80%. Which is to say, they would never be able to advance into a Rank 2 Magus!

  Furthermore, with the increase in Elemental Essence Conversion, it would improve the might of spells of that particular element.

  Originally Clayde’s acidic fireball only had a power degree of 20. However, after the 30% Elemental Essence Conversion it reached 26 degrees, almost breaking Leylin’s defenses.

  Moreover, the multiplier effect could only be applied on one’s chosen element affinity. For instance, Clayde’s fiery spell could have a 30% multiplier, but the spells of other elements would remain the same. In cases such as Water or Ice Elements, the power might even be reduced.

  However, why would Magi gifted with the affinity of Fire element even use Water and Ice spells?

  Blue light flashed in Leylin’s eyes continuously. This was the first report of data he obtained from a Rank 1 Magus. It could aid his understanding towards himself, complete the database and even compare the stats to a Warlock’s.

  “You… Kill me now! The Lilytell Family will never let you off!”

  When the innate defensive forcefield of Magi was broken, they would also suffer damage on their sea of consciousness. At this moment, Clayde was already near his last breath.
