….

“Toxic Bile!”

With the maturation of her bloodline, this innate spell of her had also grown exponentially, and it had even exceeded 200 degrees of power, reaching the strength of a rank 3 spell. Even with preventive measures, it would be difficult for the rank 1 and rank 2 Magi to survive it.

On top of that, the effect of the spell would be even more amplified now that the defensive shield was down.

An incorporeal ‘death-god’ had solemnly descended on the rebel camp.

Both Cole and Roderick stopped their attacks for this reason because they were signalled beforehand that Lita was going to use this move so, they tactfully made some proper distance leaving the affected zone, with Lita faint control over the Toxic Bile she concentrated it only at the ground below.

On the ground, innumerable rank 1 and 2 Magi started collapsing with their acolytes in tow, dying despite multiple layers of protection, potions, magic artifacts and other defenses.

Even the surrounding buildings were not spared. They creaked and swayed as they crumbled down like sand faced with water.

Formless toxic ripples took aim at the three rank 3 Magi in the air and started attacking them, leaving them helpless as they watched their apprentices and the other members of their organisations fall.

With a single attack, except for a handful of Magi who managed to escape using their secret treasures, the rest had been turned into corpses that decayed rapidly. But even those who escaped weren’t spared as both Cole and Roderick pursued them and killed them swiftly.

“YOU!” Toram roared as she rushed ahead.

The terrifying power of a Kemoyin Warlock’s toxic attacks was common knowledge. However, Lita’s ability had reached a level that allowed her to exterminate nearly everything on the ground, which was abnormal. Lita showed no mercy since, she has gained ruthlessness as well as the emotional traits of the Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks. Even though she could control herself with the superior serenity potion made from icy creatures, it was still not possible to stop faint desire to bring chaos especially to her enemies.

This attack of her was sudden and unexpected, which resulted in huge losses. Witnessing the deaths of their own apprentices, friends, and even families at Lita’s hands, as well as the vicious execution of the few who ran, the two other rank 3 Magi hardened their gazes and dashed forward with tearful eyes.

“Phantom Hologram!” Multiple phantoms of gigantic creatures started appearing from behind an old rank 3 Magus. They surrounded Lita and opened their huge, ferocious, and menacing mouths to trap her in their midst.

“Crimson Throne!” An illusory image of a bloody red throne appeared behind Toram, emanating a strong stench of blood.

The throne was simple and unadorned dull gold with marks on it from various swords and hatchets. It seemed as if it had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, giving it an almost lifelike appearance of cruelty.

Under the illusory throne, the three of them donned a red armour, their auras having been raised to a level.

“Hmm! Aura amplification and removal of suppression!” Lita dark black eyes sparkled with excitement. She diligently recorded the opposite party’s domain into the A.I. Chip, intending to research it further.

This was the characteristic of the incomplete domain of a rank 3 Magus. Once Toram completely comprehended the strength of this domain, she would step into the Morning Star realm.

Of course, the current Crimson Throne only provided a limited amplification to Toram and the rest. It could not compare to Lita’s own Intimidating Gaze.

However, under the brilliant glow of the throne, the eyes of the huge phantoms became bloodshot, and they dashed towards Lita with full force, not an ounce of hesitation in them.

Lita wasn’t a bit worried as terrifying energy undulations from her body overflowed as the terrifying innate spell of a rank 3 Kemoyin Warlock, Intimidating Gaze, enveloped the region.

*Hiss Hiss!* It seemed as though an ancient Giant Kemoyin Serpent had been reborn in all its savagery. A tyrannical surge of dark energy descended on the ground, bringing with it a rather unusual and wild aura.

The force field immediately took over the territory previously under the Crimson Throne, almost instantly countering its effects.

The huge phantoms went absolutely crazy, as if they had seen something horrifyingly bizarre. They roared in confusion, brutally attacking one another and even sprinting towards their original owner.

Lita innate domain had been steadily strengthened by the Lamia fingerbone, something that extended to the regions of energy amplification and suppression.

The phantom image of the Crimson Throne started to retreat in defeat, as if stripped of its previous glory. And before the two other rank 3 Magi could retaliate, their force fields had been suppressed and defeated.

Toram was the only one who qualified to match Lita in a collision of force fields.

As for those lower-level force fields used by the others, they could certainly not match those of these Hydro Phase Magi.

Due to the differing depth of understanding of a domain at different levels, there was a vast difference in their strengths. Thus, the force fields of Magi below the Hydro Phase were considered effectively useless.

The Magus with the tiger skull wore a look of defeat. He understood and admitted the huge disparity between Lita and himself.

Yet, he roared ferociously, the muscles in his body tensing and swelling up as his gorgeous fur shone with a colourful radiance.

The joints on his bones popped loudly and soon his body swelled and expanded from a normal figure to a hulking three meters.

“Bitch! I’m going to kill you! I will break your bones one by one, inch by inch without mercy!” He roared thunderously and delivered a high intensity punch, as strong gusts of wind hit him right in his face. The surrounding air seemed to have been so compressed by this punch that it became a substantial crystal body which surged towards Lita like a projectile.

“A human Magus with a reinforced body, what a rare sight, sadly you don’t know the heights of true physical strength and you ain’t a match for a true reinforced body.”

Lita looked nonchalantly, looking at the man with a mocking expression. Magi with reinforced bodies were known to belong to the barbarian beast clan. As for other types of Magi, they would generally be glad to use spells for the destructions of enemies.

As such, seeing how the tiger skull Magus transformed himself into such a powerful creature, there were surely some in the central continent that could do it, although it would be rare.

Generally speaking, Magi did not place much emphasis on strength and agility. Instead valuing the quality of the physical form more, as the corporeal body was the part that bore the foundations of any magic power.

Also, different Warlocks inherited different abilities from their elders, hence it highly depended on which area each ancestor placed their emphasis on.

But when speaking of physical strength, no one can surpass a Beast Tamer.

“Heh!” Suddenly Cole appeared on the scene intercepting the tiger-skull magus. His physical form was different than before and his body size increased incredibly. He had a huge black body filled with scales and a large head of a dragon. He has merged into his Beast form — Dark Scaled Earth Dragon.

Cole used his dragon claws like a weapon and attacked the incoming tiger skull magus.

“Awooooo!” The tiger skull Magus covered his head with both hands and dashed forward.

*Crackle !* The sound of breaking could be heard as the gorgeous colourful shine from the tiger skull Magus burst forth in a flash and collided head on with the black claw, smashed it into a million pieces.

*Zzzz!* A deep tear appeared on his arm, and from it one could see the bone mingled together.

Without hesitation, the tiger skull Magus dashed towards Cole in a moment.

“Good body but just ain’t good enough” To be able to withstand his attack, other than possessing excellent spell resistance, one’s vitality needed to be very high.

In addition, the opposite side’s strength and agility was also ridiculous. Seeing how he was able to use simple techniques to deal deadly blows, Cole’s eyes brightened.

“Die now!” The right arm of the tiger skull Magus had morphed into a huge tiger claw, striking down on Cole.

The huge tiger claw looked like a small millstone. The shiny sharp claw was glossy and menacing, with spell runes visible in the brilliant light it emitted.

*Bang!* The tiger claw was stopped abruptly mid-air by a draconian palm.

The size of Cole’s body increased again with shining radiance emerging from his scales as his palm which had managed to tame the sharp tiger claw, disabled his opponent ability to advance forward.

“How can that be?” The old man yelped in surprise. He and Toram were both engaged with Lita and couldn’t advance, as Roderick was cleaning house.

The old man was shocked because he was absolutely certain of his friend’s strength.

The tiger skull Magus had mercilessly killed a rank 3 creature in this beastly state.

Even when he recalled it now, it had been shocking. Yet, a full attack from his friend had been blocked so easily, something that made no sense. What’s more, looking at the opposite party, it seemed to be effortless.

The old man scrutinized Cole, trying to analyze but unable to read him.

“How… How is that possible ?” Other than the shocked old man, the tiger skull Magus was speechless himself.

He had been extremely confident in his ability. Even in the face of several magic alloys put up by other Magi, he only needed to use his claw and they would have cracked and crumbled like soft sand. But now…

“This is true strength, we have been honing ourselves for this long and with Master guidance we have achieved our full potential. Likes of you cannot even fathom our true strength. It’s been a while since I met someone who can take a blow from me straight on, in my first form except for Roderick but now the game is over!” Cole tightened his grip, and cracking sounds rang out as the tiger skull Magus’ arm twisted abruptly into an odd, distorted curve.

“Master once said that the difference between humans and animals lies in the usage of your strengths, be it for exploitation or as a tool. If you do not even know this, regardless of how strong you are, you are just a fool!”

Behind him, an Earth dragon shadow appeared, attaching to his right hand and injecting a steady flow of energy into it.

“Off you go!” Cole heaved a sigh and looked at him with a tinge of pity, grabbed the tiger skull Magus’ neck, and raised him up.

“This is bad! We have to save Borgin!” The clash had happened too quickly. After all, both Cold and the tiger skull Magus were agile, to the retaliation and counter-attack, everything had happened in a matter of seconds.

Even Toram did not have the chance to react, nor would she have expected Cole to so easily defeat a rank 3 Magus.

“Descend Embercrown.”

Toram and the other Rank 3 magus wanted to save their partner but Lita threw a spell in their way forcing them to defend. Lita looked at Cole with a blaming expression because she wanted him to stay away from the fight.

Toram was able to defend slightly but the other rank 3 Magus was inflicted with heavy injuries due to flames, and he had escaped to the side while letting out blood-curdling screams.

“What… What are you trying to do?” At that moment, the tiger skull Magus was truly terrified. He felt the increasingly horrifying strength emitting from both of Cole hands, and the savage strange force which had sealed his sea of consciousness. For the first time, he felt terror from the bottom of his heart.

Cole lips curled up looking at his meaningless retaliation. Dragon arms emerged from his back in rapid succession. Enormous muscles emerged indistinctively, and fused onto both of his hands.

“Sphere of Doom!” Cole brought bother of his dragon claws together right before the tiger skull magus and a force field appeared trapping the Magus inside. Cole brought his hands closer and closer as the invincible sphere become smaller and smaller squeezing the tiger mask magus.

*Creak! Creak!* First, the skin ruptured, then the muscles, then the bones.

The tiger skull Magus had a twisted expression, and was in so much pain that he could not even make a sound. His entire being seemed to have been compressed inside.

“Let him go! Wait! NOOOOO….” Amidst Toram’s blood-curdling screams, both the claws clapped together and the tiger skull Magus was turned into a huge ball of meat and blood.

“This is the price for offending the honor of Lady Lita.” Cole showed no response to their plea as he continued. He turned towards Lita and looked at her unhappy eyes and laughed lightly.

“My apologies Lady Lita but I couldn’t control myself seeing how he was a reinforced body magus.” Cold apologized to Lita for taking her prey as he expertly spinned the ball formerly existing as the tiger skull Magus on his huge finger tip.

And as if tossing out the garbage, he threw away the ball of the corpse before turning towards Toram, his face emotionless. “You should have worried about the consequences before you decided to rebel against the Ouroboros Clan!”

“You’ll perish here today! This is my promise to Borgin!” Toram’s face instantly calmed down. Still, one could very distinctively see the desire for vengeance in her eyes.

This was not a hot-blooded vengeance that arose merely from this one incident. It was rather a collective response to the extended period during which they were hunted down like prey. Many of Toram’s friends and family presumably died amidst the massacres conducted by the Ouroboros Clan.

“You don’t understand this, your sin is weakness! But it isn’t my place to school you, such is my lady job.” Cole shook his head and nodded towards empty air behind the old Magus

“Let’s level the playing field!” Roderick spoke and just as he finished these words, suddenly Roderick who killed everyone who was escaping, emerged before the rank 3 Magus who had been seriously injured by the previous spell of Lita.

His body morphed into the body of a crimson bird with wings which emitted terrifying energy ripples.

“Wrath of the Vermilion!”

He opened his mouth as endless orange flames instantly swallowed the rank 3 Magus, even spreading so far as to burn the air itself and the area around them.

“Master Toram! Save me!” The rank 3 Magus’ face was full of dejection. He did all he could to seek help, and him looking to Toram for help was his last hope. He didn’t have much time to plead as the intense fire immediately drowned him and turned him to ashes.

Toram leaped to help but Lita had blocked Toram’s path, and mercilessly dashed that last hope.

“Now it’s only you and me, Even though I would have preferred to take on all of you, nevertheless they weren’t that good either. You are the main course.” Lita looked to Toram after the rank 3 Magus’ life aura had completely dissipated in the sea of fire.

Toram looked at the three of them with hatred, especially Roderick her expression was extremely malevolent as she was ready to pounce at him. If looks could kill Roderick would have died a dozen times over by now.

“Oh That female Magus must be your apprentice? The two of you might even be related by blood. Well that’s too bad, I would have preferred to not kill a kid either but this is your fault for being a rebel. If you want revenge I would be more than happy to accommodate you.” Roderick shot a glance at one of the corpses lying around, and what he said caused Toram’s facial expression to change.

The female Magus with a childlike face who had been lying behind the remains. Her face had a terrifying expression as all signs of life has left her body.

At the instant when Lita had released her deadly attack, the low-ranked Magi were all exterminated. Other than the three rank 3 Magi, almost everyone else had instantly perished. The few who could run away were also killed.

No antidotes or defensive runes had any effect on the attack. Before the terrifying toxins of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent, everyone else was feeble and weak.

The female Magus that was lucky enough to survive had hidden herself behind a wall, witnessing Lita’s cruelty and terror. But she didn’t have much time as Roderick killed her swiftly.

“Roderick fall down, she is my prey!” Lita growled with no intentions of giving her opponent away.

“Come on, Take revenge already.”

“Lunatic! Monster!” Toram cursed. A majority of Warlocks had anger management issues, something that was only exacerbated by battle.

Compared to Magi, Warlocks prefered to ruin their opponents or even vent their desires upon them.

Toram had previously witnessed similar scenarios. It was painful to see dead Magi, and many female Magi subjected to horrible violations.

And now, she thought of Lita and the others in the same light as those crazy Warlocks.

“Even if I have to put everything on the line, I will stop you at all costs!” Toram announced as she ripped the silver necklace off her neck with eyes full of determination.

“A trump card, just don’t bore me. I have somewhere to be.” Lita smiled lightly.
