Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Chapter 44

[Modifying the Fallen Star Pendant's runes inscription, increasing illusory runes to make Host compatible with its control.]

A.I. Chip sounded at this very moment.

Blue light flashed across Leylin's eyes, and many transparent patterns began appearing on the surface of the Fallen Star Pendant.

Next, all he needed to do was to proceed with the modifications according to the transparent patterns on the Fallen Star Pendant.

And the A.I. Chip could assist Leylin during his inscription process, so there would not be any mistakes.

Using a pair of tweezers to fish the Fallen Star Pendant onto a white cloth, Leylin took out a solid inscription pen and started to finely carve on the surface of the cross.

At this point, his hand was like a steel sculpture — it was as steady as possible, without even a single tremor.

This required an enormous amount of attentiveness and endurance and consumed a lot of time and energy.

As time passed, beads of sweat started to drip from Leylin's forehead.

[Fallen Star Pendant's runes modification is a success! It has newly added reinforced runes, energy dissipation runes, extension runes…]

As he listened to A.I. Chip's reminders, Leylin revealed a smile.

Immediately, he picked up another inscription pen from beside him. It had grooves on its body and was just as solid.

"Next, I shall fill in these carvings!"

Leylin lit two beakers and proceeded to melt the raw materials he had separated earlier from the magic artifacts. Those beakers now contained only liquids.

Subsequently, Leylin followed a fixed proportion and mixed the two liquids together.

Leylin played with the grooves on the pen and it split open, revealing a hole to pour water into.

Immediately, he poured the concentrated silvery black liquid into the body of the pen.

Fine runes started to twinkle and flicker around the inscription pen, producing an enchanting radiance.

With a face of satisfaction, Leylin pushed the pen nib against the tracks of the inscriptions carved earlier on, repeating the process again.

But this time, the pen left silvery black liquid in its trail, filling every notch of the inscription.

After finishing the last stroke, Leylin sized up the completely reformed cross and nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Activate!"

Leylin used the ancient Byron language and read out two words.

*Pong* A cylindrical beam of gray light began to emit from the cross. Threads of silver light were moving along the rune inscriptions that Leylin had carved earlier.

As the silvery gray rays kept blending, they got brighter and eventually engulfed the Fallen Star Pendant in it.

When the rays completely vanished, the Fallen Star Pendant had changed in appearance entirely.

It only retained the shape of the cross but was bulkier than before.

Also, it had changed from a silvery black colour to a shade of dark red.

On the surface there were numerous fine and detailed rune inscriptions, causing the original fragments of gems to be concealed beneath it.

Leylin then took the dark red Fallen Star Pendant, noting its weight was heftier than before.

"Now, for the last step"

Leylin sat cross-legged and started to pour out the 'sentient force' from his Dantain that he absorbed after killing Jayden. The amount was not much but Leylin used it to create a network of 7 Meridian points in the Fallen Star Pendant. He connected it with his Dantain. Except for Him no one will be able to use Fallen Star Pendant truly.

Now with this, as long Leylin advance , Fallen star pendant will also advance. Leylin only need to replace it's material to a better one to exhibit its true potential.

[Beep! Fallen Star Pendant's upgrade is now successful with those middle-grade magic artifacts! Current Physical Defence: 28, Magic Defence: 29!] A.I. Chip sounded again, bringing Leylin the good news.

"Physical defence rose from 13 to 28, and magic defence rose from 15 to 29! Not bad, really not bad!"

This range surpassed the Scales of Kemoyin's defense for now. It was almost equivalent to gaining another innate defensive spell. Leylin was naturally very pleased.

The defense didn't increase much because the 'Sentient Force ' poured into the Pendant is not much. But Leylin can strengthen it later.

"In the south coast, acolyte ranks use beginner grade magic artifacts. Level 1 Magi use middle-grade magic artifacts and the occasional beginner grade magic artifacts. Only the extremely powerful level 2 Magi have the capability to get hold of high-grade magic artifacts!"

The Fallen Star Pendant squeaked in Leylin hand, like a pet adoring it's master.

Leylin gently stroked the pendant and hold it upside down and connected the Meridian with his Dantain and poured some energy.

Suddenly It evolved into a sharp Silvery Sword. It's edges were deadly sharp and were itching to cut apart all of Leylin Enemies.

Leylin commanded it and it again changed it form into an armour, covering his body. The armour gave an impression of being indestructible.

Then Leylin slowly gained greater proficiency with it and changed it into Dagger, Glove and even a Gun.

He was beyond himself for achieving such an amazing weapon. It is what one may call a 'Soul-weapon', not really though! Since it's more like a Weapon Companion, Nevertheless It's potential is amazing.

...

In the main Hall, Leylin sat reclining on his chair. He looked at all of his slaves. All of them on their knees.

They all had a strange mark on them that only Leylin could feel. This mark was ' Seal of Lucifer' that belongs to him. Anyone under the seal is a slave to him through and through. No divulge and chances of betrayal is left.

Anyone with 'Seal of Lucifer' if tries to betray Leylin will have their soul explode immediately.

Leylin can use this for various means like communication and keep an eye on them, In order to strengthen his people he gave them a lower version of 'Saint Knight' Meditation techniques.

With that they have evolved explosively. Their strength has reached the limits of What a Grand Knight can do and very soon they will reach Saint Knight stage.

' But this stage is probably the end of the road for them. The only reason why I can keep on evolving is due to my Dantain, while on the other hand they cannot even form their own Meridians. 'Leylin formed the Meridian points for all of them but he used their own Life force energy for it.

This is a conundrum of all who walk this path. What they need to advance is greater energy and that is exactly what they lack.

Leylin looked them all over once and stop his gaze on Anna, ' Strength equivalent to The peak of Rank 1 , that their limit. I have the ability to extend this but are they even worth the effort. '

All magus think logically, Although they are loyal. It's not a big deal since Leylin can get his hands on people more talented than them and then use his seal to make them loyal. Even though there is a need of consent to do that, He can find a solution by one way or another.

" Prepare the carriage , We will be leaving this place permanently " Leylin ordered. In the future, they may become obsolete but right now they still are useful as servants.

Leylin has other plan for them, He will not just throw them aside. Although he is not a benevolent Master, He is not so bad either, in this world where human life especially that of slave is worth shit.
