Warlock of the Magus World 1-596

by Wen Chao Gong

  Before, within the Dylan Gardens, the Black Horrall Snake’s attacks made it an unforgettable event for Leylin.

  If it hadn’t been for his natural cautiousness and also the fact that the additional firepower from his comrades, the outcome of the battle with the Black Horrall Snake would have turned out different.

  After that time, he began to be interested in the Darkness element stealth spells. Eventually, when he was exchanging his contribution points within the Four Seasons Garden, he happened to discover these spell models.

  [Darkness element’s Shadow Concealment. Rank 1 spell. Its effects are: After the Magus cast this spell, he could hide within the crack of the shadow world and he would be immune to the attacks that happen in the real world. Time of concealment: 20s Elemental essence conversion bonus: 14s. It consumes a spiritual force of 10 and magic power of 10.]

  This spell was entirely complementing his elemental affinity. Besides, the Kemoyin’s Scales on Leylin’s body also seemed to have magnified the effect of this spell.

  Therefore, Leylin had expended a great deal of effort into learning this spell.

  And after this spell, he had no longer any weak points with regards to his agility and concealment.

  Leylin thoroughly took in the sensation of being in concealment.

  This was a very strange feeling — time flowed as if it had been slowed by a tenfold. The surrounding atmosphere also felt very constricting. Each of Leylin’s movement needed to consume even more strength than when he was in normal environments.

  Leylin glanced at the Loathsome Evil.

  It was now giving vent to its fury on the land surrounding it, as it had lost its original target.

  The Loathsome Evil, by chopping with its huge hatchet, carved out many ditches in the surroundings, causing them to be in a complete mess.

  Leylin noticed that the body of Loathsome Evil had a strange green tint to it — no, that’s not it all, even the surrounding scenery, land and atmosphere was being polluted by a shining green mist. This green mist was very dense — it even made Leylin feel dizzy and he felt the sensation of wanting to throw-up.

  Leylin’s body felt as if it was hovering in mid-air; it slowly floated towards the Loathsome Evil.

  The Loathsome Evil seemed to sense something and brandished the enormous hatchet in its left hand; as it did so, the enormous orange yellow hatchet swung at Leylin’s waist.

  If Leylin was currently in his physical form, he would already have been chopped into two halves.

  But the current him was just a shadow in reality. When the enormous hammer swung past, his body just wavered.

  The giant Loathsome Evil frantically brandished its hatchet. It often struck at Leylin’s body, but not even a single piece of the clothing Leylin wore was torn.

  It came closer… and closer!

  Leylin kept himself in the sliding position and hovered above the Loathsome Evil’s. When he looked down, he could see the constantly secreted yellow pus of the Loathsome Evil and the disordered teeth in its large mouth.

  *Swish!*

  With a flash of a black shadow, Leylin directly appeared in front of the Loathsome Evil.

  Currently, Leylin’s pupils had already changed to an amber colour, seemingly giving a peculiar gaze.

  “Look into my eyes!” Leylin spoke with a strange tone as it brought a hissing sound with it. It was as though a snake was speaking.

  Innate spell — the Eye of Petrification!!!

  That voice seemed to carry a weird power. The Loathsome Evil couldn’t help but look into Leylin’s eyes with a bizarre expression.

  *Creak! Creak!*

  A greyish white halo started to shoot out from the Loathsome Evil’s eyes and its face seemed to be constantly expanding.

  “Roar!”

  When the petrification effect had affected the entire head of the Loathsome Evil, it suddenly raised its head and roared.

  Following the roar, the Loathsome Evil’s flesh bulged. There was also two enormous solid flesh that suddenly appeared on its shoulder. It looked like it had grown two arms.

  While its flesh was transforming, the greyish skin on the Loathsome Evil face’s shedded. It was like a snake shedding its skin.

  [The target’s physique is too large. It is starting to develop immunity to the petrification! Based on current situation, remaining time it will stay rigid: 3 seconds!]

  The A.I. Chip gave out a notification.

  As expected, the movement of the Loathsome Evil slowed down. It opened its mouth and maintained an eccentric smiling expression. It was like a machine that had not yet been wound up, making it stop in a peculiar condition.

  “This is a great opportunity!”

  Leylin’s eyes lit up. Numerous black fireballs entered the Loathsome Evil’s mouth, causing continuous explosions within its body.

  “Falling Star Pendant! Activate the remaining power!”

  Leylin shouted and a faint red light ray appeared beneath his neck.

  When the light ray consolidated in Leylin’s hand, it formed a long blade.

  Leylin stared at the Loathsome Evil and with a roar, the muscles on its arm bulged, expanding a few folds. It instantly made changed from a lean youth to a muscular man.

  Leylin’s body was filled with an explosive power at this moment.

  He raised the blade with both his hand and leaped highly and performed a jump slash against the neck of the Loathsome Evil that was still burning with black flames!

  *Gurgle! Splat*

  The yellowish green pus splattered everywhere. Simultaneously, the enormous head of the Loathsome Evil directly rolled onto the ground.

  After losing its head, the Loathsome Evil’s four limbs were still moving. It was as though it was trying to flee.

  Leyin’s eyes was serene as he constantly tossed out streaks of purple medicine that landed on the enormous body and head of the Loathsome Evil.

  *Boom!*

  A purplish red flame started to violently ignite.

  The flame enveloped the Loathsome Evil’s body and head.

  Crack! The head of the Loathsome Evil split apart and a group of grotesque-looking spirits appeared.

  However, Leylin was already prepared for that as he tossed a pink gemstone into the flames, while constantly chanting.

  The unconscious spirits were attracted to the pink crystal. They forgot to self destruct and just surrounded in front of the pink gemstone with their faces expressing reminiscing expression.

  “Success! With the previous calculations by the A.I. Chip, the Derkoff Spirit Enticing Spell has been upgraded!”

  Excitement flashed past Leylin’s face. He then rapidly carved runes and incantations on the ground around the flames, and constantly tossed various materials into the flame.

  Finally, the purplish red flame already changed completely into a pure purple colour. The group of spirits were constantly dissolving, they were melting like heated wax.

  At this moment, a lot of the spirits wanted to self-destruct!

  “Activate!” Looking at the densely-packed spirits, Leylin’s lips curled up into a smile as he chanted the incantation.

  Boom! A red halo lit up from the array, restraining all of the spiritual energy within the flame.

  That light ray seemed to restrict the spirits from self-destructing. The spirits within expressed frantic expressions despite them being emotionless existences, and not a single one of them could self-destruct as they did before.

  Mournful and piercing screams constantly rang in his ears.

  Leylin could even feel the most painful wail from the Loathsome Evil.

  While the purple flames were constantly burning, a strange smell constantly spread.

  The Loathsome Evil’s corpse that was at the center of the flame had already stopped moving. Moreover, under the effect of flames, from its fat body, a fatty, oily and viscous liquid began to flow down and around the surface of its body.

  This fluid was extremely viscous and its colour was
an odd black.

  As that black, oily liquid constantly flowed, the corpse of the Loathsome Evil gradually became smaller, as though it was shrinking.

  The ten-meter-long, enormous body started to shrink to the height of an ordinary person and finally became a monkey-like form with wrinkled body.

  “This……”

  Leylin looked transfixed at the constantly shrinking head of the Loathsome Evil.

  When the head was completely dehydrated, an ordinary head appeared before Leylin’s eyes.

  Even though the skin was filled with creases, Leylin was able to recognise that this was a head of a western, middle-aged man, aged roughly 30 years or near about.

  “It looks like the main ingredient in making this Loathsome Evil’s body is a human body. Moreover, the manufacturing of its huge body is by inserting an enormous amount of crazed spirits into the human body and making them fuse together…..”

  This method made Leylin felt as though the human body was a womb and was nurturing something.

  “The fusion rate with the human body was extremely high as those Loathsome Evils were originally human spirits. It’s unknown how the Spirit Slaying Sect was able to solve the problem in fusing the spirits into the body. It’s the key skill!”

  Leylin’s thoughts constantly revolved.

  He had a feeling that this wasn’t the final stage in the experiment on this Loathsome Evil.

  The frantic spirits would finally breakout from the body after undergoing constant fusion with the body of the Loathsome Evil. They would get much stronger as they grow, creating a more sinister being in existence!

  Chapter 181 – Living Organism No. 1

  Leylin was watching the process of the Loathsome Evil coming together.

  The spirit within the array was finally incinerated as the purple flame gradually extinguished.

  Swish! The entire light ray from the spell formation completely shattered.

  Leylin walked into the formation.

  The smell of something burning wafted in the air, along with a repulsive stench that could make one feel nauseous.

  “This odour is just like when something from the sewers is burnt!” Leylin frowned and walked to the center.

  The human corpses had long since been burnt to ashes.

  On the ground, in the middle of the charred and indented formation, a glistening object caught Leylin’s eye.

  Lying in the pit were fragments of green crystals, sparkling and splendid like little diamonds.

  Leylin covered his hand with a layer of scales and grabbed ahold of the little diamonds.

  “Quite light, but very solid!” Leylin kept applying pressure using his palm to the point that his joints popped, but even with his strength of 7.1, he was still unable to do anything to the little diamonds.

  “…” All of a sudden, a low chant of salutations entered Leylin’s ear, seeming to have been produced from within the green diamonds.

  Filled with curiosity, Leylin brought the diamonds closer to his ear.

  “Thank you, young man!”

  In an instant, a dazzling white light seemed to fill the entire flower garden. In the white light, Leylin looked at tens of thousands of phantom human figures.

  The countenances of these phantoms seemed familiar; they were the spirit bodies of earlier, but they had assumed their original form of a human.

  The phantoms were both male and female. Some of them were dressed like Magi and acolytes. However, at this moment, they expressed gentle smiles as they slowly faded in the white light.

  “En!” Leylin looked at the surroundings. As if it was due to the death of the Loathsome Evil, the green coloured plague quickly retreated, once again revealing the flower garden.

  As for the spirit bodies from earlier, they had all disappeared without a trace, as if he were just dreaming.

  However, Leylin knew that he wasn’t hallucinating.

  At this moment, the A.I. Chip’s voice rang out.

  [Scan complete! Item identified as spirit crystals! This is the essence remaining after the ignition of a huge amount of spirits!] In ancient compendiums, these were one of the many favourite currencies that many experts in different planes liked to use.

  “Spirit crystals!” Leylin understood.

  He had heard about this item before, but only high-level Magi could effectively use them.

  It was impossible for a mere rank 1 Magus to break the surface of a spirit crystal to extract a spirit’s power from within.

  “No matter what, it will definitely be useful in the future!” Leylin picked up the green coloured spirit crystals littered on the floor, carefully placing them inside a small pouch. He even used a gold thread to seal the pouch, before placing it back in his robes.

  The green spirit plague had completely vanished. Many fine cracks that looked like lizards littered the black rock walls at the edge of the garden.

  Leylin walked in front of the cracks, and gently knocked on the fractured wall!

  *Crash!*

  Numerous stones fell, and large clouds of lime were thrown into the air. There was a deep hole in the wall, which was flickering with pitch black light rays.

  A black glint of light flashed through his eyes.

  He quickly plucked off a strand of his hair, and his mouth began to move as he chanted mysterious incantations.

  The long black hair fell to the ground and constantly expanded, eventually turning into something that resembled a black snake.

  This small snake had densely packed scales and a pair of red little eyes that looked like jewels. It was pocket sized, and did not look malevolent; on the contrary, it was rather adorable.

  The little snake first coiled around Leylin, hissing its tongue. It licked Leylin’s shoes and then slithered into the pitch black crevice.

  Leylin shut both his eyes, maintaining a connection with the little snake through a thread of spiritual force. Images and sounds were projected before Leylin’s eyes.

  The lighting in the surroundings was very dim, but it wasn’t a problem for the little black snake.

  Through the eyes of the black snake, Leylin could see that the interior of the crevice looked like an ore mine with huge amounts of roots creeping in the surroundings.

  The roots intertwined across the walls as if they were covering the surroundings of the cave like a fishnet.

  The little snake continued to traverse into the cave. After slithering for about a kilometer, the little snake reached a yellow tree root that was like a wall that blocked its path.

  “This is… a Misleading Mist Tree Root, an ancient defensive system to deter intruders!”

  Leylin’s heart was filled with glee. With the appearance of such a mechanism, it showed that he was nearing the experiment lab.

  “Intruder! Answer one question of mine, or else you’ll be ripped into pieces!” from the large trunk of the tree, the face of an old man emerged. The old man stared into the little snake’s eyes as if it could see Leylin, who was controlling it.
