“Go ahead, I know you want to attack! ” Leylin began to speak as soon as the duo reached the clear wide ocean, his expression calm seemingly able to see through the person before him. And sure enough as soon as his words fall the Rank 5 Warlock names Eam Lyers took action.

*Huala!* White electric current streaked past, as if tearing through the sky. In mid air, the Warlock’s overbearing and furious words could be heard, “Go to hell!”

Terrifying energy from someone who had reached the realm of a rank 5 Warlock and attaining Radiant Moon burst from his body. Countless dark clouds converged, enveloping the whole region.

*Rumble!* Dozens of blue pillars of light instantly descended. Boundless lightning shot out from the pillars, forming a large purgatory.

Lightning and fire gathered in purgatory and trapped Leylin within.

*Chi chi! Huala!* Numerous electricity snakes surrounded by flames opened their mouths full of blood and devoured Leylin.

Dazzling lightning was very harsh on the eyes, but a hint of black rays leaked from the electricity.

The black radiance grew until it cut through the lightning, turning into an illusory, terrifying giant serpent vertically slit eyes and appeared behind Leylin.

“Hss…” Although it was just an eye the size of it envelope the whole sky spitting cold indifference and stoic disdain, Leylin was surrounded with shackles of metallic stings, but he still paid that no mind as he shake his head looking at the lightning clouds in the sky.

“What!?”

From within the thunderclouds, the Rank 5 Warlocks’ bewildered voice could be heard. Following which, the voice silenced and turned into the piercing sounds of rumbling.

*Chiu chiu!*

A streak of dazzling fiery radiance abruptly burst forth tearing the thundering clouds, as Angar landed on Leylin’s shoulder looking at the opponent with a human like sneer.

“I am not…!”

“Booming Thunderclap!” The opponent’s voice only reached Leylin after the electricity struck Leylin position.

Since he was struck by an attack that was faster than the speed of sound, Leylin could only half finish his words. His expression showed his helplessness and annoyance as he glanced at his shoulder.

His black scholar robes didn’t even have a single crease on them fluttering rhythmically. However, Angar was now searing with embers, erupting with scorching flames. Traces of dark red could be seen behind it.

“So Exuberant!” Leylin simply waved his hands in the air with a grasp like gesture and immediately the thunder clouds stood still even the flashing light stopped midair as if someone stopped time and freeze space. Leylin hands were open and still, but he instantly closed his fist and the clouds compressed without any resistance to reveal a shocked Eam who was unable to move completely bonded.

“As I was saying, Your opponent is not me but him!” Leylin looked slightly annoyed at the guy jumping so excited refusing to listen hence he had to keep him still. Following that, terrifying crimson streams of flames converged on Angar figure behind him. It swelled up, flicking its tail forth lunching at Eam.

*Boom!* A pillar of lightning broke down, and as if some chain reaction had been triggered the dozens of other pillars of lightning fell in succession, causing the Berserk Lightning Prison to crumble.

Leylin released Eam and move back to look at Angar progress and innate fighting talent, Eam himself was perplexed and even a bit fearful as he looked at Leylin but he turned his attention to the small bird, even though it looked weak and was radiating a Morning Star undulation but Eam can feel that it was not to be underestimated.

The baby Phoenix bellowed with rage, the sound waves engulfing the entire area and causing the thunderclouds in the air to be torn apart to reveal a tremendous bird.

The giant bird was dark blue, with each spike of a feather lustrous like steel. Streaks of blue lightning twirled around the bird, and it seemed magnificent, its eyes glinting with wisdom.

“The ancient Thorned Thunderbird?” Warlocks with high-ranked bloodlines might have Morning Star Arcane Arts that allowed atavism, as they could only transform into a version of their source creature. Only after reaching the peak of their bloodline could a Warlock have the full might of the ancient creature.

The Thorned Thunderbird was a rank 6 being in ancient times, while the Warlock here was only at rank 5. The Thorned Thunderbird that he’d transformed into was naturally still not fully matured.

However, it was a rank 6 being after all, and even if it was at its immature phase, it still surpassed many rank 5 beings.

*Chiu chiu!* The tremendous thunderbird called out as it soared in the air. Boundless lightning fell with each flap of its wings.

The electric arcs on his body grew increasingly dazzling till they enveloped his whole body and turned him into a large lightning bird. With ear-piercing rumbling, the lightning bird swooped down. Lightning flashed in the surrounding area constantly, creating a terrifying region of lightning.

“Interesting!” A smile adorned Leylin’s lips and the his figure grew distinct, as if cutting the space into two pieces and none of their confrontation effects could interfere in his sphere of influence.

“Hss…” The somewhat immature Phoenix chirped and collided with the lightning Thorned Thunderbird, giving rise to countless ripples.

*Rumble!* The calm ocean underneath tremored and energy undulations swept through the region. The smoke in the air formed a huge mushroom cloud, frightening power extending into the sky. The ocean raged, and large amounts of water that were tens of thousands of tonnes tumbled down to form giant waves upon collision.

Following that, piercing sound waves that were mixed with lightning and fire rushed forth and smashed into the Angar. Feathers flew everywhere, but then regenerated at a rapid pace.

*Rumble!* The tremendous flames immediately wreaked havoc on the area, but Angar flushed red.

The one Angar had transformed into was smaller immature form of Phoenix, but still possessed an overwhelming aura. And yet, although was smaller, it burnt with devilish crimson flames that could devour all matter.

*Yuuu!* *Scree!* Two different creatures calls sounded as they slammed into each other. Flames of red and thundering lights surrounded them as the two began a bloody battle.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!* In the midst of immensely powerful explosions, Angar was definitely in a disadvantaged and suffered various degree of injuries that had cracked apart into countless feathers on its body.

*Boom!* The flames and the bright azure thunder light collided, but that only resulted in them being sent flying, spraying blood everywhere.

*SKREEEE!* And at this moment, the winner seemed to have been decided. The phoenix’s calls sounded out as gigantic sharp claws ripped apart the Thunderbird layer of protection to a shower of light and fire.

*SKREE!* The cries from the tremendous phoenix were unceasing as it fought against the enemy Thorned Thunderbird. The fight had taken them to the boundaries of the ocean, black spatial rifts opening up all around them as they warred.

“Lighting God Bellow!”

*Swish!* The lightning came together to form a thunder bolt, As if it was a deity that had been enraged, a world-extinguishing bolt of lightning shot down from the skies.

Large amounts of thunder clouds formed in the sky, and terrifying bolts of black lightning struck down. The dark clouds covered the skies, blocking the brilliant sun behind Angar.

This horrifying thunder bolt seemed to transcend the limits of time and space, and even the void was subdued under the tip of the attack, carrying the might of an apocalypse. This terrifying instrument of destruction appeared before the phoenix.

*Skree!* The phoenix called out, the sound this time filled with sorrow and suffering.

*Ka-cha!* As the dazzling white light formed by the collision dissipated, the only witness Leylin noticed that the Phoenix that Angar had transformed into had suffered a gigantic injury. Feather after flaming feather fell to the ground before bursting into intense flame. Within this fire, the feathers somehow seemed even more magnificent.

Angar mourning screech and cries of pain were void shattering as it dropped, beads of blood falling out from the huge injury, causing huge waves as Angar hit the surface of the ocean hitting the surface creating a booming tremor.

Dark blue lightning crashed down once more, and an attack that surpassed the Morning Star realm struck down. Booming Thunderclap appeared once more.

However, this time the spell’s destructive ability was far more powerful than before. There were now five rays that attacked from different angles, sealing off Angar’s path of retreat. Afterwards, a gigantic Thorned Thunderbird phantom appeared behind Eam, widening its sharp beak in the slowly emerging Angar’s direction.

Terrifying sound waves brought with them the power of thunder and lightning, “Rank 5 spell— Thorned Thundercry!”

The opponent had cast the spells quickly, and each one was hidden quite well. He practically didn’t have to think at all. If this was a regular opponent, not having enough time to defend would be a very dangerous problem. However, with unfathomable Leylin watching from the sidelines he didn’t dare hold back, he was also mildly testing Leylin because although he was once halted by him, Eam wanted to see what he can do against his Trump Card.

Just at the moment the lightning was about to reach Angar body, the tremendous phantom of a Serpent tail burst forth and wound itself around Angar.

“Sentient Erase!” The five streaks of lightning were instantly sucked into nothingness, shockingly seizing time, as if it was never produced. There was no explosion nor any aftermath just total extermination without any chance at retaliation.

After wave of attack were turned into nothing, the imaginary serpent tail figure dissipated to reveal Angar who was not the least bit injured from the previous attack, and shockingly it’s previous injuries were also healing at an astonishing rate.

“That would be enough, the kid has played to its heart content, don’t you agree?” Leylin asked in a neutral yet cold voice, the iciness extending to his gaze as it held an irrefutable command. Leylin had been a master and ruler of fate of many for a long time he has a natural imposing ability which others can’t help but bow down against.

However, if the opponent wasn’t tactful, Leylin had no choice but to completely obliterate him and teach his people an unforgettable lesson, perhaps by ensuring his fall. There is no lack of partner anyways maybe a bit of showcase of power won’t be that bad.

“….” The body of the blue thunderbird immediately shrank. The hill-like creature turned into a blue-haired Magus with silver pupils and fixed his attention on Leylin, his previous arrogant and haughty glance turned into that of contemplation and apprehension.

Eam was a rank 5 Warlock that had inherited an ancient bloodline, but that was nothing in Leylin’s eyes. If not for his family’s usefulness, Leylin would just have devoured the whole place.

“Your aura…” Eam’s expression showed his obvious doubt. He sized Leylin up and down, suddenly feeling that Leylin’s aura was somehow different from before.

“You are…Rank 6?” It was only at this point that Eam noticed the blazing sun projected behind Leylin. Leylin did not emit much of an aura, but just a tip of the iceberg, his body naturally had a very powerful attractive force that caused Eam to be completely awed by him.

He didn’t notice much before because Leylin has been knowingly suppress his power to not scare him off, but now he treated Leylin as a rank 6, and a strong one at that, just a portion of power of this existence could consign him to eternal damnation. He obviously would not dare to slight him by appearing even a little arrogant.

As expected, the great elder revealed a rigid flattering smile, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Eam, Eam Lyers. Rank 5 Warlock and the grand elder of the Lyers family!”

Seeing the opponent withdrawing all the electricity around his body, Leylin smiled. He could tell that this Eam was definitely a very arrogant Warlock. Unless he showed enough power to threaten him, it would be impossible to speak to him.

Angar body also shrink to it’s little cute size as it dashed into Leylin sleeves to rest and recuperate, Angar had a very sub-par performance but it cannot be blamed either, it was his first fight and that so against someone who dwarf him not only in strength by one rank but also has far more experience. All in all it could leave some visible injuries on Eam which is pretty impressive in its own right.

Eam also now, after attacking and finding out Leylin’s abilities, he suddenly was more approachable.

Leylin discarded the idea of killing him off as Eam unknowingly saved his whole family from demise, Leylin was more than willing to avoid needless fighting, “I’ve already introduced myself before. My name is Leylin! Lord Eam’s way of greeting others is really quite unique.”

“Please forgive this insolent person slight.” Eam merely smiled bitterly in answer to Leylin’s words. He observed Leylin with interest, “You aren’t a Magus of the subterranean world, right His Excellency?”

“Indeed.” There was no way for this to be hidden. Were he a rank 2 or 3 Magus, one could conceal himself from Eam since it would make sense for there to be no mention of him anywhere. But a rank 6 Warlock of unknown origins in tow with a Legendary pet like a Phoenix was rather suspicious.

Given that this was an inherited bloodline, how could there be no information on it? Would the Lyers family not know beforehand about a Warlock family with a rank 6 bloodline?

Leylin had burst out of nowhere, and this rank 5 Warlock had no information about him. That led Eam to his conclusion.

“As expected, His Excellency is a Magus from the world above ground!” Seeing Leylin admitting this, Eam nodded and looked a bit fearful. The impression that Leylin left on him and shadow he created for Surface World power is not small for Eam.

“Yes, I do come from the surface, and I’m the head of the Magi organisations in control of the passage to the surface. Lord Eam shouldn’t be any ordinary Warlock, right? The passage in the Thunderbird Holy Land…” Leylin shot Eam a meaningful glance.

To expand the passage between the surface and underground, he needed to find something like a spokesperson here. It seemed that Eam and the Lyers Family suited this role well.

Not only was he very powerful, there was nothing he didn’t know about the passage. More importantly, they had long since gained control of the exit.

“We obviously know about it. In actuality, it’s a secret that my ancestor found out. Ever since then, our Lyers family has settled here, and we’ve been trying to make contact with the surface that’s been sealed from us…” Though Eam was speaking in very vague terms, one cannot undermine the carnage involved. Things like vying for this territory, trying to damage the seal and attracting adventurers to become blood sacrifices here were perhaps merely the tip of the iceberg.

There was still much that was unknown regarding what they had attempted on the sly. What was most crucial was the fact that they had persevered for so long.

“May I ask why His Excellency visited this servant?” Eam looked at Leylin, frowning slightly, “Based on my estimations, the seal should still hold for a period of time, for his Excellency to break it and..”

“Well I found the seal by chance and was slightly curious so, I came uninvited. I hope for his Lord understanding.”

“No, definitely not. It’s our good fortune that His Excellency bestowed us with his benevolent presence.” Eam’s expression went dark inwardly but he still spoke flattering words while Leylin maintained his silence. Leylin words were kind and friendly but his expression betrayed any shape or form of friendliness.

“His Excellency must be very capable in formation at least of grandmaster level to achieve this feat?” Eam’s gaze towards Leylin had now turned more more awe. People who were grandmasters in fields of magic were highly regarded.

“Its nothing much, I won’t waste Lords time and would be rather frank since we own one end of the passage each and both have great influence in our respective regions…” Leylin mentioned his bit signalling Eam to respond. Eam listen intently with great attention, Leylin was already giving him much face not showing any arrogance despite the gap in strength so Eam immediately responded without any extra thinking.

“Forming an alliance is beneficial to both of us!” Eam spoke straightforwardly, the smile on his arrogant face widening. He stepped forward while beaming and extended his right arm towards Leylin. “We would be in your care!”

“It’s my honour,” Leylin grinned and extended his right arm as well.

The two hands grasped each other, and golden light flowed out. Fine golden letters were like ants as they crawled everywhere.

An alliance between Magi was even more important and solemn than an agreement. Most of the time, a very serious ceremony would be conducted, and even a third party would be invited to be the witness.

Leylin and Eam were both high rank Warlocks. While they didn’t need to go to the trouble and do all that, a basic oath was required. However, what they were agreeing to now was a general purpose oath, and the details would be determined through discussions afterwards by their subordinates.

After the oath was done with, the two of them had gained a tacit understanding. They laughed, feeling like their relationship had gotten better. Eam was rather confused and overwhelmed from Leylin but after thinking it though, he understand that a backing of Rank 6 is extremely good for his family even if the profits from the trade are less in comparison. After all it’s an extra source of money and a rather good one even with slight profits, the Lyers Family gains would be astronomical.

Though this sort of oath could be violated, they each had control of their sides of the passage, which signified a great amount of benefits. Leylin had no reason to cheat him because he had the strength to suppress him.

“Lord Eam…” Leylin laughed as he spoke.

“Just call me Eam, His Highness Leylin, this servant is not qualified.” Eam chuckled, though his facial muscles were obviously a little stiff. However, that just made this moment all the more rare.
