Warlock of the Magus World 1-596

by Wen Chao Gong

  The meaning of ‘eliminating the limitations of the contract on his end’ was to remove the effect of the Trial’s Eye on him, while Leylin would still be bound by the contract.

  In other words, he could attack Leylin, but Leylin would not be able to strike back. The moment he did, the Trial’s Eye would punish him!

  It was because of this that he had been so fearless and brazen in wanting to eliminate this untrustworthy factor first!

  However, the powerful effects of Trial’s Eye did not work on Leylin. How could this not surprise him?

  “Could it be that Leylin also trained in some magic that is similar to “Three Souls in a Body”?” Cabourn was beginning to realise that he could not fathom this young Magus.

  His son, Caesar, had used the special effects of Three Souls in a Body that allowed Caesar to violate the contract with Four Seasons Garden. He had died once, and after the effects of Trial’s Eye had completely disappeared, he had come back to life and thus evaded the power of the contract.

  Cabourn did not think Leylin had any rank 3 Magus aiding him, and the only other way for this situation to happen was that he trained in some ancient techniques!

  “Fools!”

  Cabourn glanced around coldly, and then coldly hummed. Due to the immense explosion, they had exposed themselves entirely to the light Magi. There were already a few wandering light Magi that wanted to investigate and find out what was happening.

  Their surroundings had turned into barren land, and only the place sealing the core body of consciousness had a layer of black energy guarding it.

  A few Magi wearing the uniform of the Lightning Corps had quickly made their way here. The leader was someone Leylin was extremely familiar with. It was the vice-leader that Desmund had left behind, who was a formidable peak rank 1 Magus.

  “The Lightning Corps? What an eyesore!”

  Cabourn let out a roar as if he had some animosity towards them, and he moved his arms forward, “Withering Breath!”

  A ring of silver-gray stream was generated between his hands, and like a tornado violently revolved towards the Lightning Corps.

  This stream seemed to have an immense corrosive effect and produced long, deep tracks on the ground. In an instant, it arrived before these Magi.

  *Tss tss!*

  The stream charged towards a Lightning Corps Magus. With a strange expression on his face, he suddenly began to wither.

  In the blink of an eye, this powerful Magus had turned into a dried up corpse and collapsed to the ground.

  “Keke!” Cabourn laughed in a way that sent shivers down one’s spine, and the silver-grey tornado killed the Magi one by one. It then pounced towards the face of the vice-leader, who was struck with hopelessness.

  “The rank 2 Magus, Deathbringer Cabourn! Lighting’s Fury!”

  The vice-leader of the Lightning Corps obviously recognised Cabourn and roared, raised his metal arm and struck towards the tornado!

  With his movement, two large balls of lightning appeared in front of his fists.

  The huge lightning fists brought with it thunder, flames, and inexhaustible fury, and hissed as it pounced towards the silver-gray tornado in the air.

  Unexpectedly, the two lightning fists charged into the tornado and somehow completely disappeared without even having produced a sound.

  “Pu!” The vice-leader paled and coughed out black-red blood that emitted some grey gas.

  “Keke! Ever since I suffered a loss the previous time, did you think I wouldn’t research your lightning magic?”

  Cabourn could not stop with his strange laughter, and the huge tornado continued to howl as it sucked this man in.

  *Woo woo…*

  The tornado constantly revolved where it was, and in a few seconds, dissipated, revealing the scene within.

  *Pak!* A spotlessly white skeleton fell the moment the tornado disappeared, which cracked in many places before turning into powder.

  What had been the vice team-leader had had his flesh and blood stripped from him. Even the life force in his bones had not been let off.

  Cabourn was able to take care of the Lightning Corps in a single blow. Such fearsome power intimidated the light Magi nearby, and the Magi of Four Seasons Garden unhesitatingly turned to leave quickly.

  Though they were loyal to Four Seasons Garden, they were no fools! A person able to kill a peak rank 1 Magus had to have reached the level of a rank 2 Magus! If they went up against this sort of Magus, then they were simply committing suicide!

  Cabourn nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Leylin.

  “I’ve taken care of the hindrance. Now it’s time for us to start again…”

  Leylin had been standing quietly while Cabourn had attacked and slaughtered the members of the Lightning Corps. Nobody had an idea of what he was thinking about.

  “It’s time!” All of a sudden, Leylin exclaimed quietly.

  “What time is it?” Cabourn suddenly felt cold, having a bad premonition.

  *Weng Weng…*

  The sound of something vibrating emerged, and the metal gate to the secret plane across the center of Four Seasons Garden began to buzz.

  The Magi were no strangers to this situation. This had happened just once before, and this was when a rank 2 Magus had brought in a whole army of Magi through the gate of the secret plane!

  *Tssss!*

  Blue electric currents swept along the metallic gate. What had been a cloudless blue sky suddenly dimmed, and dark clouds appeared.

  A pair of large hands formed out of lightning charged in through the gate and swept through the dark Magi around.

  In an instant, the dark Magi who had been brazenly plundering and looting turned into ash with shock still apparent on their faces.

  What followed the large hands was a blonde, burly man with a lightning symbol on his forehead that gave off eye-catching rays.

  “Desmund!” Cabourn gritted his teeth as he forced out this name.

  Next, he gave Leylin a withering look, “Did you do this?”

  Within the Eternal River Plains’ secret plane, the only person who was so clear about their plan and was able to communicate with the external world was Leylin!

  What Cabourn just could not understand was how this would benefit Leylin.

  What he had done was enough for the Light Magi Alliance to kill him hundreds of times. Even if he disclosed this information, he would still not be let off lightly.

  In addition, Leylin had offended both the dark and light Magi, so there was no way he would be in a good situation.

  However, Cabourn did not have any time to think about this. Desmund looked at the scene around them, shocked, and blue rays of light floated from the bodies of what had been the Lightning Corps, launching into the mark at Desmund’s forehead.

  This burly man was immediately overcome by fury.

  “Cabourn, you despicable maggot! A cowardly fool that only knows to run! I’ll definitely twist off your head and trample it for ten thousand years at my parliament hall!”

  Desmund roared and covered himself in blue lightning.

  *Ka-cha!*

  A tremendous lightning bolt split open the heavens and, in a straight line, landed on Desmund’s hand, turning it into a weapon that looked like a pike.

  *Xiu!* Desmund’s figure streaked across the sky and appeared before Cabourn.

  “Repulsive!”

  Cabourn’s eyelids blinked rapidly, and two lines of silver-gray tornados shot out from his hands.

  Large tornados thundered and combined into a larger tornado that wrapped him within.

  Like a lightning god, Desmund charged into the midst of the tornado, and one could vaguely see two figures wandering within.

  The violent tornado floundered around at will, and any Magus which came into contact with it instantly turned into a withered corpse or was burnt to ashes by stray lightning bolts.

  “They’re finally gone!”

  Leylin glanced at the two rank 2 Magi tha
t were fighting and revealed a smile of relief.

  Though he had already modified his heart and was indefinitely closer to the world of a rank 2 Magus and could be said to be the strongest rank 1 Magus in history, he was still a rank 1 Magus! There was still a huge divide behind him and a rank 2 Magus.

  Though he had been able to take on an attack from Cabourn, but if they were to continue battling, he was only confident in his abilities to escape.

  This was something that was simply unacceptable!

  Activation

  “Though there were a few issues, everything is mostly going to plan!”

  With a smile about his face, he walked towards the sealing spell formation that Cabourn was protecting.

  “Leave this place!”

  All of a sudden, a familiar voice travelled to his ears.

  The instant he heard this voice, ten black figures appeared and surrounded Leylin.

  Leylin was very familiar with the leader. It was Giant of the Thousand Meddling Hands! His legs had been regenerated, and the mist about him was denser than ever before.

  Beside him, Caesar had been rescued and was full of dust. He looked to be in a sorry state, and stared hatefully at Leylin.

  “Leylin, you dare betray us! You dare betray the honour of us dark Magi…”

  “Stop!” Leylin was a little speechless as he interrupted Giant’s speech. “Aren’t dark Magi a group of creatures that only look up to benefits? Since when was there anything about honour?”

  He glanced at Giant, who looked pale, “If you want to seek revenge, tell me! Don’t bother with the pretense!”

  Giant paused, his face turning red.

  “Yes, I want to seek revenge! What I have here are elite dark Magi whose elemental essence conversions are all over 70%! I admit that you’re strong, but as long as you’re not a rank 2 Magus, you definitely won’t be able to survive the attack of so many of us Magi.”

  Giant pointed at the dark Magi around him. “You actually dared to kill Little Boy and treat me this way!” His facial muscles began to twitch.

  Being defeated so thoroughly by Leylin was the worst kind of humiliation for him.

  “Ah… I want to kill you, peel off your skin, and make it my carpet!” Giant roared.

  “Your threat is absolutely… Lacking in creativity…”

  Leylin heaved a tiny sigh. Even though he was encircled by so many dark Magi, he still had the mood to scan his eyes over the situation in the Four Seasons Garden.

  Even Number 2 and Number 3 behind him seemed to be influenced by him, and were not the slightest bit worried.

  With the addition of the Lightning Corps, the complete defeat of Four Seasons Garden’s end seemed to less certain. The dark and light Magi had now broken into countless smaller groups and were battling.

  In the heart of it all was the large tornado, within which Desmund and Cabourn were fighting.

  The tyrannical tornado turned everything, whether it was Magi or buildings, into powder in an instant!

  At the heart of the tornado, two figures could be seen rapidly exchanging blows.

  Lightning currents were scattered everywhere, sometimes penetrating through the tornado and causing large numbers of casualties.

  “It’s really chaotic…”

  Leylin sighed, seeming to pity Caesar and Giant while he looked at them, “Leave immediately, and I might even let you off!”

  “Are you trying to humiliate me?” Caesar and Giant spoke at the same time.

  Though they had seen how formidable Leylin was, they did not think that Leylin would be able to survive the joint attack of so many Magi. Naturally, they thought of Leylin’s words as a bluff.

  Giant was even more angered, and he waved his arm. “Attack!”

  Immediately, all the dark Magi around him attacked. Corrosive curses, Exhausting Hand, Toxic Clouds, Acid Lightning, Ice Bolts, and all sorts of insidious spells turned into colourful rays of light that hurtled towards Leylin like a wave.

  Every single attack was had an offensive power of at least 45 degrees!

  This level of attack was something a peak rank 1 Magus would definitely be unable to handle. Without even being able to flee, they would be seriously injured and die under this joint attack.

  However, Leylin was different. After the successful modification of his heart and the mixing of his bloodline with the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent, he was infinitely close to a rank 2 Magus, despite not yet reaching that point!

  It could be said that he was the strongest peak rank 1 Magus in history!

  “Shadow Domain!”

  In the face of such an attack, Leylin loudly chanted an incantation and made a weird sign with his hands, and then pressed them to the ground.

  *Weng!* A strange ring of black quickly extended everywhere with Leylin in the centre, instantly covering hundreds of meters.

  This was a domain-type attack which Leylin had come up with by studying shadows. Though the effect could not compare to true domain-specific magic, its power was still rather similar!

  In the Book of Giant Serpent, the great Magus Serholm had once mentioned that Magi of high ranking had a skill that could affect large areas. They were able to control a large territory and suppress the innate skills of any Magus with a lower ability than them, causing the power of lower-leveled Magi within the area to become weakened.

  If a Magus was of a high enough ranking, they could even come up with their own laws within the domain!

  It could be said that in one’s own domain, a highly ranked Magus was basically a godly existence!

  Leylin obviously had yet to reach that level. The “Shadow Domain” he had come up with was just an imitation that didn’t even have the effect of suppressing the abilities of Magi within. All it did was amplify his own attacks, but this also represented his ambition!

  [Shadow Domain! Rank 1 Area attack effects: Instantly produce a shadow domain of 100m x 100m, within which the host body’s agility is increased by 30%, rate of recovery of spiritual force is increased by 10%, and resistance to elements is increased by 10%! Duration: 5 minutes. Consumption: 15 Spiritual force and 15 Magical power!]

  In the blink of an eye, darkness consumed the dark Magi beside Leylin.

  All types of magical attacks soundlessly vanished after the appearance of the shadow. Not a single wave of energy was produced.

  Immediately after, like a fish in water, Leylin seemed to become the devil king of the night. He began to harvest the lives of the Magi within the domain.

  The low and horrifying shrieks of exclamation was heard in the darkness.

  In just ten or so seconds, the shadows in this area pulled back and returned to Leylin’s feet.

  The dark Magi who had surrounded him were in a state of shock, their emotions frozen on their faces.

  *Pu!* A stream of air blew past, and a sound was heard.

  A Magus in front of Leylin exploded into foam.

  *Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!*

  As if causing some chain reaction, the dark Magi exploded one by one, turning into pulps of human flesh.

  Bright red blood mist pervaded this area.

  Within the blood mist, there were still two figures that were not dead.

  They were the Caesar and Giant, who were parts of a single spirit that had been split into different bodies. They were now full of wounds that looked like they had been caused by metal slicing against their flesh, blood dying their clothes as they collapsed into an unconscious heap.

  Leylin was still not a rank 2 Magus after all, and did not want to attract Cabourn’s attention. If Cabourn ever decided on giving up on his current opponent, and decided to cause him trouble, it would be a huge headache for him. Hence, Leylin had chosen to leave them alive.

  “Latent fireball!”

  Seeing the dark Magi elites having been taken care of in an instant, whether it was the dark or light Magi, nobody dared to provoke Leylin, and they came to a tacit understanding, leaving the area right away. They left this
place to Leylin.

  Leylin came to the place where Cabourn had set up the black layer, and raised his hand, a black fireball the size of a fist appearing in his palm.

  “Go!” Leylin made a tossing motion, and a black fireball streaked through the air, colliding against the layer and beginning to burn.

  Drops of black liquid melted on the layer, and were quickly evaporated.
