  “You may rise!” Leylin commented softly as he looked at those five people.

  They were naturally the five Grand Knight slaves that he had purchased at the slave market in addition to Damien.

  With the spirit branding, Leylin could order these five Grand Knights to die and they would obey without any hesitation.

  They originally had names, but for convenience’s sake, Leylin gave all of them new names with numbers, starting from 1 to 5.

  Leylin had put in considerable amounts of effort on the five Grand Knights. He constantly fixed their conditions during the past year. He didn’t even mind spending a lot of his resources to brew precious potions for them to consume.

  Currently, the five experimental bodies’ were unconsciously giving off energy waves filled with life force. They were already beyond the Grand Knight’s rank and were beginning to advance to a higher realm.

  “What are the results of the secret techniques that I taught you previously?”

  Leylin asked.

  “Master! After using the secret techniques along with the potions from before, Number 2, 3 and I felt life force start to flow through us, which was something that had not happened for a long time. Our vitality also became increasingly stronger.”

  The big man on the far left stepped out of the line and said, “But when Number 4 and 5 used the secret techniques, the brand on their bodies shook and gave off scorching hot energies that interrupted their training……..”

  This Grand Knight slave, known as Number 1, gave an extremely detailed report.

  In the past year, Leylin had been constantly modifying the brands of the five through the modifications made by the A.I. Chip. This had allowed him to gain a lot of fruitful experiment results.

  The ’secret techniques’ that were previously taught to those five Grand Knights were just improvised data from the information about Branded Swordsman.

  “Is that so?” Leylin’s gaze became stern. “Remove your clothes!”

  The five slaves removed their body armour without any thoughts after hearing their master’s order.

  *Crash!* Metal armour made a racket as they hit the ground. The Grand Knights had removed the heavy armour in just a couple of seconds, revealing completely unclothed bodies.

  Moreover, Number 4 and 5 were female Grand Knights, but they weren’t at all embarrassed as they stood before Leylin with their well-developed bodies and private parts completely exposed.

  Those five had the strength of Grand Knights. Their bodyline was supple, but was well developed. Every inch of their flesh hid an astonishing explosive power.

  Their bodies were akin to perfectly sculpted statues.

  However, there were elements that offset their aesthetic appearance from being perfect.

  Leylin didn’t cared about the two Grand Knight beauties; his gaze was completely focused on the interweaving brand on their body.

  Leylin scrutinised their bodies.

  He noticed that the bodies of his Grand Knight subordinates were covered with deep, black brands.. Near these brands were some twisting scars. It seemed as if a branding iron was the source of the brands and scars.

  With close observation, the brands looked like a centipede climbing. while their chest and lower abdomen regions formed an extremely peculiar rune.

  Some of the brands seemed to be broken and were unable to link together.

  “A.I. Chip! Scan those brands and compare the current conditions of these Grand Knights to the previous observations in a new file!” Leylin thought.

  As he said this, a blue light shone in his eyes and swept horizontally across those slaves.

  [Beep! Mission established! Commencing the scanning!] The A.I. Chip followed the tasks that Leylin ordered.

  Rows of numbers and three 3-D images appeared before Leylin and were constantly being updated.

  “En! It seemed that the training method that I created isn’t bad. These Knights’ physical qualities have had drastic improvements and are also able to train their life force. Their previous stagnant powers are starting to rapidly improve!”

  Leylin was extremely satisfied after looking at the results of the three male Grand Knights.

  “The training method of the Branded Swordsman conflicts with the brands on their bodies?”

  Leylin carefully looked through the A.I. Chip’s results while constantly walking around the slaves in order to attentively observe the position of the brands.

  “Where is the source of the previous problem? Is it here?”

  Leylin placed his hands below the lower abdomen of Number 4 without ascribing and thoughts to what he was doing. After having placed his hand there, he felt a warm sensation and could feel that underneath the smooth and supple skin, there were muscles that were slightly twitching now.

  “Yes…Yes, that’s the place, Master!” said Number 4 with a slightly shaky voice. This female Grand Knight had a good appearance and an exceptionally curved, bountiful body

  “If that’s the case!” Leylin caressed his lower jaw.

  “A.I. Chip! Amend the parameters for the two female knights to the p-grade content and change the index to the third grade before testing again!”

  This kind of calculation was an easy task for the A.I. Chip. After a short moment, the A.I. Chip had already concluded its calculation and reported it to Leylin.

  [Beep! According to the calculation, the brandings of the swordsman are different for males and females. The markings must follow a carved inscription!]

  After looking at the A.I. Chip’s conclusion, Leylin’s expression did not change since he had expected such a result.

  “So it really was the case! Kroft had gotten hold of a part of the Branded Swordsman information, but there is an extreme lack of information concerning the brandings. The runes inscribed on males had been deduced by the A.I. Chip. Moreover, those marks aren’t suitable for females, which resulted in the two female Knights being unable to train!”

  “It seems that I must purchase a large quantity of male Grand Knight slaves to try to create a Branded Swordsman!”

  Leylin planned to himself.

  To him, using males or females didn’t have any differences. He just needed to head to different sections of the slave Market for them.

  However, regarding the most crucial rune inscriptions for the Branded Swordsman, he could only amend the model to suit males. While it was not impossible to create something out of nothing for a female version of the model, it would take a lot of time. Leylin didn’t want to spend the A.I. Chip’s precious calculation skills on this matter.

  “Since this is the case, there’s only one troublesome problem in manufacturing Branded Swordsman, which is the problem in combining the markings’ powers.”

  Leylin rubbed his lower jaw with flames burning in his eyes.

  The ancient Branded Swordsman were similar to the bloodline Warlocks and elemental bards, which were among the stronger professions of the sub branch of the magi. Their specialties were their physical defence and offensive powers, which were regarded as their enemies’ nightmares.

  Moreover, the combination of the Branded Swordsman and magicians was an eternal nightmare for many worlds.

  If the Branded Swordsman could perform crowd control, then the Magi behind them would have the time to prepare the formidable power of magic in order to change a given situation.

  Moreover, the power of an official Branded Swordsman was equivalent to that of at least a rank 1 Magus!

  Leylin just needed to form an army with Branded Swordsmen. The quantity didn’t need to be large; 20 of them would be sufficient. With such forces, Leylin would no longer have an opponent at the rank 1 Magus level and he was also confident enough to be able to fight against a rank 2 Magus!

  “However, regarding the problem of the powers, the runes of the Branded Swordsman is the pivotal point. Even if it was the A.I. Chip, it could not guarantee perfection without countless experiments and accumulation of data. Moreover, there’s also a
problem in controlling the Branded Swordsmen after they evolve to a higher realm…”

  Leylin lowered his head as he muttered to himself irresolutely.

  He was only a rank 1 Magus now, so he could at most control level 3 acolytes and Grand Knights.

  However, in a similar fashion as the Magi and Warlocks, the ancient Branded Swordsmen could break through the ordinary realm to reach an extraordinary one.

  This power wasn’t something that Leylin could currently control by using the spirit brand.

  Thus, a safer and more effective controlling method had to be researched and implemented on those Branded Swordsman!

  Only with this method could the loyalty of his soldiers be guaranteed!

  Chapter 189 – The Great Magus War

  In the dimly lit basement.

  A faint red ball of light floated in midair, constantly emitting blood red rays of light, which caused the lighting of the basement to be slightly gloomy, and gave off a horrifying atmosphere.

  The previous Grand Knight, Number 1, was lying flat on the enormous white metal experimental table.

  His eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelids were constantly moving, as though he was being tortured in his dreams.

  Moreover, the black brands on his body seemed to be alive, constantly lengthening and shortening as it wiggled. Moreover, it slowly protruded from his skin, giving off dark red rays of light as he breathed.

  “The ancient Branded Swordsman used the magic runes and arrays crafted onto their bodies to enable them to store the world’s natural energy particles into their body. Those particles could also be completely released during critical moments, turning into a terrifying spell! Moreover, the Branded Swordsman’s physical abilities were far beyond the limits of ordinary people, reaching an unfathomable stage because a large amount of energy particles constantly reformed their bodies!”

  Currently, it could be said that Leylin was the top person in the south coast regarding the knowledge of the Branded Swordsman.

  With a white scalpel and tweezers in his hands, Leylin finally looked at Number 1, who was still unconscious.

  “Even though I’m slightly eager to gain instant benefits, I can’t consider it any further!”

  Leylin sighed as he said that. He still needed to get numerous results from the experiments conducted on the five Grand Knights using the A.I. Chip in order to gain accurate parameters before he could inscribe the final energy pathways.

  However, time was pressing.

  The news concerning the war’s imminence had arrived so suddenly that it messed up most of Leylin’s original plans.

  Initially, Leylin was certain that he would make the second transition in his bloodline by the time the Branded Swordsman’s experiment succeeded. At that moment, with his increase in power, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to battle against a rank 2 Magus.

  A rank 2 Magus was at the level of the principal of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, who possessed great magical powers.

  If he could calmly wait and silently accumulate power, Leylin could quickly reach the peak domain that the majority of rank 1 Magi couldn’t reach in their entire lifetime.

  However, everything was in ruins due to the dreadful news of the war.

  At this moment, all Leylin could do was quicken his research in hopes that by the time the war came, he could produce Branded Swordsmen. He didn’t expect them to have the full might of the ancient Branded Swordsman but possess at least 50-60% of their original power, which would be sufficient to ensure his life during the chaos of the war.

  Leylin took a deep breath after he sorted through his thoughts.

  At that instant, he completely calmed down, dispelling all distracting thoughts from his mind.

  An indifferent light flashed past his eyes as Leylin carved at Number 1’s chest with the assistance of the A.I. chip.

  ……

  “Roar!” An enormous Venom Wyvern, accompanied by a distinct loud cry, dove down from the sky. It abruptly spread its wings when it was a couple of meters above the ground.

  *Whoosh!* Enormous green wings covered the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground.

  After spreading its wings, the enormous Venom Wyvern’s speed of descent drastically decreased, entering a gliding state. After gliding for a couple of meters in the air, it steadily landed on the Four Seasons Garden’s general headquarters’ landing pad.

  *Bang!* The enormous beastial claws collided with the platform. When those sharp claws contacted the floor with such a large amount of momentum, it left several meter-deep markings.

  Swish! A Magus who was wearing a white robe embroidered with plants directly jumped off the back of the Venom Wyvern.

  “Lord Leylin!”

  The surrounding Four Season Garden acolytes hastily went forth to bow to him.

  There were two other armoured men that also jumped off from the Venom Wyvern’s back after Leylin disembarked. There were enormous greatswords the size of a door attached on their backs.

  “These two are my followers. According to the school’s rules, I’ve the rights to bring two servants to live with me! Register them for me!”

  Leylin told one of the acolytes, “You also to feed Hawke, and increase the amount of red bread pigs by two heads. It recently entered a state of binge eating prior to maturity, so it requires a lot of food…….”

  “Your wish is our command, lord!” That acolyte deeply bowed as he commanded the rest of the subordinates behind him to start washing and cleaning the Venom Wyvern

  The acolyte seemed to have rapidly recorded something down. After a short while, he passed two metal tablets to Number 2 and 3, who were behind Leylin.

  The two tablets were completely black, and on the surface, there was a scarlet rune marking. The marking consisted of an inverted triangle within a circle, with a coiled black snake in the centre.

  This was Leylin’s secret imprint.

  “This will be your access pass. Take good care of it, as the replacement procedure is extremely troublesome! Moreover, there are some restricted areas that you’re forbidden from entering, as we are currently in a state of emergency. If you do, you’ll be caught by the guards as a spy!”

  That acolyte’s expression was very stern, which made Leylin apprehensive.

  “That’s acceptable!” Leylin nodded before leaving this place along with Number 2 and Number 3.

  “Is the situation already that severe?” Seeing the Magi rushing around on the way, combined with the warning from that acolyte, Leylin’s heart was slightly heavy.

  Leylin, who had gotten a lot of information from the previous experiment, rushed to reach the general headquarters of the Four Seasons Garden the next day.

  After all, he didn’t want to get into a conflict with the Four Seasons Garden.

  While he was still conducting experiments regarding the Branded Swordsman, he had brought Number 2 and Number 3 with him to make some adjustments to them using the result from experiments conducted on Number 1. Currently, Leylin had a higher understanding in his research on the Branded Swordsman!

  Under the calculations from the A.I Chip, Number 2 and Number 3 would definitely become good assistants for Leylin after they became Branded Swordsmen.
