Although Gargamel’s was a rank 2 spell, after going through Hades’ Sacrificial Rites and the crimson light screen defensive spell formation, it had been weakened and eventually perished under Leylin’s Latent Fireball
The might of his spell caused Gargamel, who was not far away, to turn pale and exclaim in fright, “You’ve advanced to become a rank 2 Magus!”
Only a rank 2 Magus would be able to withstand his magic so easily. If he had not been so weakened, after just awakening along with getting his powers sapped out of him through the formation, even a Rank 2 Magus would have to be careful of his attacks.
Even still, it was out of Gargamel’s expectations, that a newly advanced Rank 2 could block him.
“Whew…”
Leylin heaved a huge sigh, feeling the transformation completing in his body, He could feel a sensational euphoria and could not help but mumble to himself, “Success and advancement is really a poison, it makes one feel intoxicated!”
Right now, Leylin’s outer appearance has changed from before. The most remarkable contrasting characteristic is his now umbra-phantom Raven black hair, flowing down like waterfall, which gives an illusion of being one with darkness, and his eyes!
His eyes are now ruby-red in color, completely different from the one in the rampage stage. In rampage, his eyes give predatory vileness and wicked contempt for others. A red hue of monstrosity which gives an illusion as if blood is dripping from his eyes; but right now his eyes are indifferent and filled with apathy.
Like an eternal fire that covenants to burns whoever dares to come in its way. His eyes give a feeling of one’s vow of doing whatever he wants, whenever he what’s, wherever he wants, and to whomever, he pleases.
The A.I. Chip had also shown a few notifications.
[Beep! Detected huge growth of Elemental essence conversion. Knight path technique in the process of advancing….] [ Host body’s Meridian points have reached Foundation establishment, Saint Knight has risen to next level! Driving the advancement in Host’s rank! Host has advanced to become an Elemental Knight!] [ Detected the burning of large amounts of sentient force. Increase in Spiritual force. Kemoyin’s Pupil in the process of advancing…] [Host body’s high-grade meditation technique, Kemoyin’s Pupil, has risen to the second level! Driving the advancement in Host’s rank! Host has advanced to become a rank 2 Warlock!] [Rank 2 innate spells have been generated! Modifying Host body’s sea of consciousness.] [Beep! Host has advanced to become a rank 2 Warlock! Stats have been substantially increased. Recalculating data…]
Next, the A.I. Chip refreshed and displayed his new stats.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 2 Warlock, Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Elemental Knight. Strength: 31.1, Agility: 27.4, Vitality: 36.3, Spiritual force: 132.3, Magic power: 132 (Magic power is in synchronization with spiritual force).]
Leylin took note of the large changes within his sea of consciousness.
His saw that his sea of consciousness had now expanded by a huge amount, but the core essence in the middle had experienced the most changes.
Originally, there had been a prismatic crimson crystallization of his spiritual force. This was Leylin’s foundation as a warlock, and all sorts of complicated runes were carved onto it.
These runes were like little black snakes that seemed to be formed from nature, and made up his two rank 1 innate spells!
Currently, within the crystal, another smaller prism-shaped crystal had been produced. It looked exactly like the outer prism except for the size; it looked as if a tinier version of the original crystal had been placed inside of itself.
The only difference was that the runes on the surface of the inner crystal were different from the runes for Leylin’s innate spells on the outer crystal. These runes formed even more formidable innate spells and it had a strange black mist covering it.
Leylin then noticed his meridians, which have become one with his body. If before the meridian could be said to be like drawing on one’s skin, then now it’s like a tattoo or even a birthmark, forever etched on his body.
At this point, the A.I. Chip had finished organizing all the information regarding Rank 2 innate spell – Toxic Bile and displayed it in numerical form.
[Toxic Bile, rank 2 spell. The ancient Giant Kemoyin Serpent possessed terrifying toxic abilities, and its mature form could even corrode the void. Through modification of their bodies and bloodline, ancient Warlocks were able to transplant this ability into their own bodies. Prerequisites: Modification of heart to that of Giant Kemoyin Serpent to 100%. Effect: Through neurotoxins let out of any part of the body, carry out an area of effect attack that attacks all living beings! Consumption: 10 spiritual force, 10 magic power.]
Along with the innate spell, Leylin could feel another ability in his body. One not originating from his bloodline but his Knight path itself.
Glancing at Gargamel—who was a distance away—Leylin eyes became cold and looked at the ability that his 100% Elemental conversion had generated.
“Eidolon”
This ability could simply be explained as a combination of both Shadow Concealment and Shadow Stealth. When Leylin uses this his body will undergo a metamorphosis and could hide within the crack of the shadow world and he would be immune to the attacks that happen in the real world and he could also travel airborne at a super high speed.
This ability could be credited as him having an elemental foundation now, This ability is essentially another innate spell since the cost of it is similar to those.
“Time to end your farce, mate!”
Leylin glanced at Gargamel, who was not far away, and the spiritual force in his sea of consciousness rushed out, the twice-layered core essence flickering with dim light.
Leylin could feel from deep within that in his body, the purple-red blood of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent was congealing inside his gallbladder. Following the consumption of energy and spiritual force, a mysterious liquid was produced.
This liquid could disseminate to all parts of Leylin’s body and be secreted from any pore on his skin.
With a single thought, the poison from the Giant Kemoyin Serpent spread through the air.
Mysteriously enough, when his rank 2 innate spell, Toxic Bile, was used, there was no energy fluctuation, nor was there any special scent or colour. It concealed itself very well.
Opposite to him, Gargamel looked at Leylin, who had just emerged, the expression on his face complicated. First was regret, then pity, and then fear and the will to kill him!
Leylin rushed forward in Gargamel’s direction, He looked like a phantom in the air, leaving a black trail in his past. Before Gargamel could even react, Leylin was right in front of him.
Leylin delivered a swift kick right on his head, which Gargamel instinctively tried to block with his forearm.
“Crunch”
Chilling and heart-wrenching bone-breaking sounds were released as the hit connected and Gargamel was thrown to the side.
“Latent Fireball ”
Huge black fireballs filled the dark room like large stars. The Latent Fireball now held a power that was more than several levels stronger than when Leylin had used it while being a rank 1 Warlock.
Huge waves of black fire streaked through the room, almost evaporating the corpses on the mountain into nothingness.
Leylin threw his spell right on his face, even before Gargamel landed. The strength if his Rank 1spell has increased by a huge margin and it’s devastating strength was displayed.
Gargamel feebly stood up, he was somehow able to survive Leylin’s onslaught, but a strange purplish-black colour appearing on his face.
“Toxic Spell” Gargamel’s eyes open wide at the realization, usually he could have caught up to this very quickly but years of bondage and constant strain after his release has weakened him considerably.
He immediately produced large amounts of Dark blood leeches, cleansing his body over and over again, as they continuously absorbed something.
Leylin looked at his pathetic plight, he felt no pity for this once great being. In his peak, Gargamel could have killed Leylin with a sneeze and if he were to be cross him then, that will exactly what would have happened.
This world doesn’t care for past glory or the future potential, if you come across one who can crush you in the present and become a sore in their eyes, that will most definitely become a reality.
Leylin smiled as he saw that Gargamel hold on, no matter what, he is still a bonafide Rank 2 magus at this moment and his defense spell is not that easy to get rid of.
“Toxic Bile!” With a glint in Leylin’s eye, a formless ripple of poison dashed towards him again.
This time, even the air slightly rippled.
“Damn it!” Gargamel retreated as if he had seen a poisonous snake.
*Weng Weng!*
Formless ripples smashed into his innate defensive spell formations, producing sounds of corrosion.
A strange glint flashed through Leylin’s eyes, and the formless ripples turned into transparent hands that grasped towards him.
*Pak!* The innate defensive spell formation in front of Gargamel could not withstand the attack from this transparent hand for long and showed signs of decay.
“Ahhhhhh! Fumed Decapitation!”
Gargamel looked torn as he yelled the incantation.
Black tornados whirled in all directions, looking like a black wind blade that was blooming.
*Rumble!” The large transparent hand and black wind blade collided. Both attacks dissipated, and the stray energy spread outwards.
A transparent tear in the sky exploded, and black spatial cracks formed.
At this moment, a sinister smile flashed on Leylin’s lips. Suddenly he evaporated from his original position, reappearing just behind Gargamel. With a wave of his hand, a large amount of red powder spread into the air like a red cloud of fire,
“Scorching Touch!”
Two lines of fiery energy shot out, and in an instant, they streaked through the air and appeared before Gargamel, Leylin effectively targeted his weak point to break down his defense.
The energy fluctuations from the attack caused Gargamel’s face to change, “Rank 2 magic! How can this be? You have just advanced! It’s impossible to learn a rank 2 spell so fast!”
*Pu!* *Pu!*
The two fiery streaks drilled through Gargamel’s lower abdomen and right shoulder, creating two large wounds that had been charred black.
“Kemoyin’s Scales!” Leylin steeled his expression, and fine black scales appeared all over his body. Looking at Gargamel’s defense being broken Leylin knew that there is no need to drag this one out.
At this moment, Leylin’s Physical strength is something that not even a new Rank 3 Magus could compare to! Making use of his Physical strength with high speed and monstrous vitality, his blows themselves pack quite a punch in themselves, comparable to even a strong Rank 2 spell blasted at point-blank range.
After advancing to a rank 2 Warlock, the scales on Leylin’s body emitted an even deeper black luster, and there were even incomplete patterns on the surface of the scales, which vaguely formed a dark elemental rune barrier.
His eyes turned into amber vertical pupils that stared straight at Gargamel, who was quickly retreating while spitting out blood.
“Eyes of Petrification!” From Leylin’s amber vertical pupils, two lines of petrification rays caught up to Gargamel, who was in the middle of retreating.
“Ah…” He let out blood-curdling screams and covered his eyes, from which a layer of ashen-white stone skin began to extend.
The power of a rank 2 warlock was even more powerful than a rank 1 Magus, and the two rank 1 innate spells Leylin originally had received a huge boost. Even a rank 2 Magus was affected.
Leylin knew full well that Gargamel is not that easy to kill, even at his weakest moment. So he quickly used his Newly conjuring Pure Blood Essence and burned it, He used ‘Eidolon’ to pick up high speed, in addition to his Kemoyin scales form to further increase his strength.
There was no trace of emotion in his eyes. His Ruby-red eyes staring at his prey, a formless energy locking into his enemy. His muscles began to bulge and popping sounds reverberated all around the Hall. A scorching and vile air filled the room.
The combined might of His strength, Agility and Innate Spell was overwhelming staggering, His body’s strength taken to the extreme. His blood began to flow frantically and a humongous aura erupted.
His aura was so stifling that even Gargamel’s eyes almost popped out of its socket, to get rid of this monster, Leylin did not pull any punches.
*Boom*
Leylin’s fist hit Gargamel right on his chest and threw him across the Hall spitting blood, while destroying the corpse mountain in his trail. The bones were thrown all around, cracking and popping under the pressure.
Leylin jumped in the air, almost touching the roof, and with a beastly shriek plummeted down, with Gargamel at the epicenter.
” You..! I will make you pay! Don’t you dare think this is over! I am not someone the likes of you can kill!”
While he shouted like a crazed beast, Leylin showed no mercy, without missing a beat he targeted his head and landed his blow, penetrating through Gargamel’s brain.
*Bang!*
His head exploded open like a watermelon, and red and white cerebrospinal fluids and blood dripped all over the ground.
*Boom!*
The whole room shook at the mere pressure of the collision, and the ground collapsed. The vibrations were like an earthquake, with Leylin and Gargamel at the epicenter.
The damage of this attack could even be compared to that of a Rank 3 spell, the devastation was very apparent from the condition of the room.
Broken bones were thrown all around the place, spider web-like crack covering the whole of the floor. Leylin slowly got up while holding his hands, he looked to be in a weary state. The toll of using this much strength and going into rampage continuously caught up to him.
Leylin looked at his bloody arm, which has many fractures and contusion, with separation and dislocation at all 27 joints in his hand.
But to someone with his level of outrageous vitality, it’s merely a scrap. Leylin jerked his hand and it started to straighten up, due to his exhaustion it will take a while before he is fine.
“A man has gotta do things, what a man has got to do” Leylin quoted one of his favorite lines and started to salvage all that he could, With Gargamel out of the picture he could take all of the items from this secret plane.
Leylin looked at himself, all of his clothes were ripped and were reduced to rags. He shook his head and used his newfound ability of the Shadow element to conjure some clothes manifested out of darkness element.
A robe that looked to be alive wrapped his body, revealing his bare chest and shredded abs in plain view.
*Groan*
” I am too tired to do anything, let’s just quickly take all that is needed and go back to rest a little ” Leylin thought to himself as he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
‘Eidolon’
Leylin used his new ability and his body changed into a black mass, as he made his way through the secret plane, streaking like a ghostly phantom.
