Ouroboros Clan
Inside a huge mansion which was a bit away from the main Hall where the various guests were gathered, the group of highest authority of clan was present as they personally received high authority guests mainly those from other Monarch organization.
Today can be considered a huge celebration and monumental period for the lower grade of Ouroboros Clan and even the whole Warlocks in general but for those lofty figure it wasn’t much.
What really matters was the power and authority of Leylin which was the key of the Warlocks strength in the central continent now, and they only wanted to personally understand the true extent of this new powerhouse.
Inside the main Hall, the team of elder association went to host the party while Leylin himself spoke a few words of encouragement and went away. His presence is a symbol of prowess for warlocks, a warning against those with ill intention and also a stance.
Although there was no lack of endless politics and gauging for benefits going on throughout the Clan but no one dared to even remotely challenge the authority of Leylin.
Leylin Farlier, this name is synonymous to peerless genius and he is all Magus idol in Central Continent. And not only that but his military might, unmatched prowess and overbearing ways are for all to see.
Even still such a lofty figure was currently at the receiving end of an seemingly endless onslaught beating from someone.
“Liar!”
Leylin was dressed in a golden royal robe inside a beautiful and breathtaking room as he was ready to meet a few people but he had a wry smile on his face, as a little angel like girl drowned him with punches and kicks.
“Come on dear Emilia calm down.”
“No! Liar! Lair! You told me that after the mission my father would have more time to play with me and teacher would also spend time with me but neither my father has returned for months and even you left me alone, Bad teacher.” Emilia puffed her rosy cheeks as she began to cry, Freya who was watching from the sidelines almost jumped to comfort her as Leylin waved his hands signalling to let him handle this.
“Don’t cry!” Leylin was speeches but looking at her innocent wronged crying and lost eyes he felt a bit guilty.
Guilt? Leylin Farlier and guilt!
Who would have thought that the man who rain down rivers of pain and suffering on countless souls and killed innumerable people would melt here.
“Weren’t you with Freya? Did you not like being with her.”
“No, Sister Freya is very nice, she taught me many new things and even prepared many super tasty meals for me… It’s just I miss you and father a lot.” Emilia slowed down as she tightly embraced Leylin legs.
Leylin bent down and picked her up slowly patting her to calm her down as he looked at Freya with a weird gaze, ‘Sister Freya! This brat is calling someone a few hundred years old, sister.’
Leylin found it laughable because although Freya looked very young almost a bit childish but her age was even more than this brat’s grandparents!
But then again one cannot calculate the life span of Magus like that, let’s take Leylin himself for instance if one were to compare his current age to his life expectancy then even Emilia is older than him!
Leylin is a few hundred years old monster but compared to his life vitality of thousands of years he is still a kid!
“Master I feel lonely! when would father come back.” Emilia asked grabbing Leylin clothes clenching her little hands.
“I am sorry you have to feel that way and your father is busy but don’t worry I would be with you and I even have someone to play with you.” Leylin smiled as he pinch her little nose, he has send Maroon for an important work and since the time flow differently in the different plane he has barely started while Emilia is itching to meet him.
“Someone to play?”
“Yeah, I know you have a lot of pets but he would be extra special. Treat him nicely” Leylin said as he let out the Phoenix.
*Screech*
With a small flash of flame, a small chick appeared in the room and although it looked very harmless but from its undulation Freya was startled as she stared at the Phoenix with bewilderment and surprise.
She looked at Leylin unsure of his decision of releasing such a dangerous being in Emilia presence but reminding herself of his status she kept quiet.
Leylin smiled looking at her reaction and mildly nodded to indicate everything is in control.
Emilia was surprised and intrigued as she immediately climbed down from Leylin and stared at the little bird intently while the chick responded the same way.
Their two pairs of pure untainted and curiosity filled ruby red eyes, stared at each other.
“It’s so cute, can I touch him. ” Emilia asked keeping her eye glued on the Phoenix chick. Leylin knows that Emilia is crazy about different animals and pets, in fact she has a whole den of them and amusingly enough every animal in her presence irrespective of it’s ferociousness would obey her!
“Try!” Leylin said in a loving voice but his eyes were locked on the duo of Emilia and Phoenix, he knows that a Phoenix is a very proud creature and it won’t just let anybody touch it.
Hence, Leylin was on guard to move as soon as something wrong happens but interesting enough the Phoenix didn’t reject Emilia advancing hands towards him as it could feel a very soothing and loving aura permeating from her.
“Wow!” Emilia had stars in her eyes as she continue to pat the Phoenix which slowly came near her and sat in her embrace, but it still looked at Leylin for permission.
“Isn’t he nice?”
“Yeah, so beautiful I have a new friend. Thank you teacher!”
“Okay okay, it’s time for him to rest it’s still a newborn. You play with others for now.” Leylin looked at the two playing for a while as he said and took the Phoenix, he needs to meet others and he cannot leave it with Emilia not unless both of them bond for a bit longer.
“But I want to play with him more!”
“Don’t worry you would, and for the reward of Emilia being a good girl I would take you to a nice tour.”
“Really?”
Leylin nodded moving out of the room as he looked at Freya, Leylin gently caress her beautiful face and spoke, “You have work hard.”
“No, Emilia is very sweet I really like being with her.”
“Thank you, Freya take care of her I would go meet some old fox.”
“Okay.”
..
“Your Majesty Leylin?” Jeffrey looked at Leylin who sat indifferent on a umbra black Throne, fear secretly emerging in his heart.
He has only meet with Leylin once and even that was with his clone, although he invited Leylin for a small gathering but Leylin denied him on the premise of his ongoing research, obviously they didn’t mind but in the end who would have thought that he who just advanced would become a Monarch!
Then again no one was stupid and after a bit of analysis they were able to deduct that the terrifying Lord Kilvish was none other than him, Leylin has not only fooled them but all of the Central Continent and while everyone was busy chasing an imaginary figure he reached such a pedestal that no one can do shit even after knowing of his schemes.
Jeffrey was a Radiant Moon Warlocks, and with his passive monitoring their surroundings, the hideous flow of energy particles in the air could not escape their senses. This power was so ridiculous that everyone in the room immediately knew that Leylin is a legit powerhouse even in the Breaking Dawn ranks.
Only now did Jeffrey truly realise how different Leylin was from before. The current him indeed was the hope of the bloodline Warlocks, the Breaking Dawn!
Leylin was wearing a dark gold Magus robe, and purposely released his energy the reason was something everyone can grasp.
Before him was the whole crew of high level personnel from the Warlock Union, Offa, Jeffrey and Wayde except for Bevis everyone was here and in their true body too.
“It’s been a long time Your Highnesses,” a wicked smile adorned Leylin’s face as he took the initiative to speak, “The Ouroboros Clan have been in your care during my absence.”
“Your Majesty please don’t embarrass us. Your earth shaking feat of destroying Düz City in one move, even killing Blazing Flame Monarch. Compared to such great news for us suppressed Warlocks, is this anything big?” Offa, Wayde and Jeffrey answered respectfully. No matter what, the friendship of a Breaking Dawn Warlock would be extremely beneficial for them.
“Then so be it, may the glory of warlock forever illuminate.” Leylin smiled; he certainly knew what these Warlocks wanted.
“Of course! The Warlocks are one family under the heavens.” Offa, Wayde and Jeffrey were both Warlocks with age and much knowledge, while Leylin, too, had a multitude of experiences. The three Warlocks kept flattering Leylin and beat around the bush, but did not get to the point.
Watching Leylin’s carefree attitude, as if they were old friends Offa could not help but secretly call him an ‘old fox’ in his mind. Still, one question from Leylin sucked the breath out of the room.
“It seems the Trump card of the Warlock Union, Misty Fog Giant Bloodline inheritor Bevis is not coming?”
Although this was just a short and simple query but just the intention implied by them caused Jeffrey, Wayde and Offa to break into cold sweat in terror.
“How– How did you know about that?” Learning that Leylin was aware of this earth-shattering news, Jeffrey’s and others eyes went as wide as saucers as they looked at each other.
Quite Frankly they were quite torn between the choice of either telling this truth to Leylin or keeping it away from him.
According to the prophecy, the Warlock who was suppose to rise to the Throne rank is right before then and hence forth the prophecy have little meaning but then again Bevis is their Trump card, one that they have nurture in the Union and against someone who they have no relationship with, it’s better if Bevis is able to rise to the occasion and nullify his momentum.
Alas, their plan is risky because it would take at least a hundred and fifty years for him to truly reach that, even that is if he can at all, and meanwhile Leylin would stay at the top, so it’s not really possible to hide a whole Radiant Moon Warlock entirely from him.
Although they knew that Leylin would probably found out about their intentions in the future but they never thought he already knew and even more so in such details, let alone name he even knew about his bloodline!
“Your Majesty-” Offa spoke.
“You don’t need to worry, I am not angry or discontent about your decision of hiding his existence, it is afterall for the future but even still I would like to meet the genius of our Warlock Union.”
“Yes of course, it’s his great honor to meet and even gain a bit of guidance from you.” Wayde responded but only they know the bitterness in their heart, after Leylin being this clear of their intentions what was left to speak. These sly old foxes would definitely not offend someone at Breaking Dawn level for someone who has a chance to reach there.
Leylin is not on his own, his organization is also very terrific and is definitely capable of making the Warlock Union fearful. Leylin himself has never really attended them with much feaver but he never showed any ill intentions either, for the sake of benefit they would easily yield.
Due to the bloodline shackles, Radiant Moon Warlocks like them cannot reach Breaking Dawn even if their truesouls have reached the peak of rank 5. However, things are different in case of someone with a rank 6 bloodline who finally began to grow, and with the bonus strength from his bloodline, his breakthrough to Breaking Dawn will definitely be much smoother than that of regular Magi. Afterwards, he was to grow stronger, bringing about the revitalisation of Warlocks but the fate has other choice as the true winner is before them.
Jeffrey and others bowed towards Leylin with sincerity, “Please forgive us for keeping this from you. It is just too important a matter for us bloodline Warlocks!”
Leylin smiled at him, looking benevolent, “I truly admire Your Highnesses for your feelings towards this. You have work hard to protect the existence of warlock for generations. Rest assured, I would try to guide him.”
While Jeffrey and others didn’t necessarily believe Leylin, this show would definitely keep them satisfied. After setting up a specific time and space to meet with that Warlock, they got up and left.
..
Later, in the grand feast in night celebration. Not only did Offa, Jeffrey and Wayde attend, even Bevis had to come with a smile on his face and come over to congratulate Leylin.
The others were very nervous and even Bevis was sweating because Leylin could possibly choose to end Bevis’s life in order to maintain his position and remain unquestioned and undisputed but he didn’t do so. He just share a bit of words of encouragement and left.
The Radiant Moon Warlock heaved a sigh of relief they were very tensed at the prospect of probably crossing and falling out with him but looking at Leylin, who has no apparent desire to kill Bevis they were relieved, although it could be a act and he can try something on a sly but for now it’s good news.
After the grand feast ended, Leylin gathered Adam, Gilbert, Emma, Offa, and the others, announcing his decision to set out on a long journey. He told these people that he’d discovered another world, and was preparing to delve into a long-term expedition.
Although Offa and others did not really understand Leylin’s actions, they still consented and promised to support the Ouroboros Clan as they always had. To the outside world, the new sensational Breaking Dawn was going to conduct long-term research, and he would hence stay in the Ouroboros Clan for a very long time.
Leaving aside the effect this news had on the central continent’s current situation, Leylin had left the place the very next day in secret.
