Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Chapter 54

(A/N: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

People do tell me a lot, that i am just a fraud who just copy and paste stuff from the OG, well the thing is: everyone knows that, i do this, and I never hid that, in fact I am the first one to point that out.No one is stupid here. But contrary to the expectations I don't do it to cheat people, The reason I use to do that was because, I simply didn't have the time neither any desire to write the same thing as in novel, just to proff that i can write.

I am not an " Author " as complained by some, then let me tell you something, Maybe I am not. What I am is a person who wants to write his heart out. Most probably my writing skill are lacking and my grammar is bad but i write wholeheartedly.

Especially now, that people are showering me with this much support. I intend to up my game in every way possible. I hope all of you keep reading my works in the future too.

Just understand that this is not sour grapes, I have never blamed any of my critics for their sour and ugly comment and review, I know very well that I can't keep everyone happy. I will take all bad review and try to improve even further.

Thank you very much. I am trying to become better so please understand.

.......

"A Golden Giant is in the process of moving towards us!"The Magus on night duty exclaimed hurriedly. "The Sentinel Slate used to alert the others have been completely eaten by it, too!"

"F*ck!"

After hearing these words 'Golden Giant', Leylin quickly heard the startled curses of nearby Magi.

The Golden Giant was a type of elemental species. Its power was close to that of a fully converted elemental Magus. On top of that, it has its own unique racial talents. Only a rank 2 Magus had the capabilities to thoroughly kill or banish it.

"Wasn't it said that the Golden Giants from the Golden Desert are extinct? Furthermore, it appeared conveniently in our way. "

The old leader clenched his jaws in a state of madness. His eyes emitted a green radiance.

"Can we avoid it for the time being?"

Lancey suggested. "The Golden Desert is so huge, he might not be able to find us!"

"I am afraid not!" Leylin was the first to interject. "The Golden Giants have a natural instinct to chase species with high energy levels. The energy propagating from our bodies acts like a lamp in the darkness for the giant's eyes. The more we move, the more likely the Golden Giant will assault us!"

"If that is the case what should we do?" A look of despair appeared on Lancey's face. "Unless we have a rank 2 Magus within our party, we will all fail to escape the assault of the Golden Giant…."

This party of five were only slightly stronger than a rank 1 Magus. They would even have difficulties going head on with a semi converted elemental Magus. They had no chance of surviving an encounter with a fully converted elemental Golden Giant.

Semi elemental conversions refer to Magi whose elemental essence conversion has reached a level of 50% and above. At this stage, their increase in magical power due to the elemental essence conversion starts to become very obvious. When faced with budding Warlocks, they held a great advantage.

"Perhaps, we should scatter and escape in different directions…"

The large bloke hesitated for a while before suggesting.

Upon hearing the suggestion, the Magi present entered a state of silence and eyes started flickering nonstop.

"Are you people mad?"

The old geezer interrupted the large bloke in a fit of anger. "If we fled in different directions, can you guarantee that you individuals are lucky enough to escape the assault of the Golden Giant? Furthermore, what will you do after you reach the Kary Vultures' territory?"

The two sharp questions abruptly brought about a deeper silence.

After fleeing in different directions, they could once again head towards the intended destination. If they were lucky, there was even a chance of heading back to Broken Axe Pub.

However, this was only the last resort. The Magi will not accept their foul fate just like that.

"Quick! Another three of my babies are dead!" The night shift Magus said with a heavier breath than before.

"Maybe we could use the Sentinel Slate along with a rune which dissipates energy continuously to distract the Golden Giant. While it is distracted, we could do our best to restrain the energy emitted from our bodies and sneak away… If it fails, we could do as mentioned earlier and scatter in different directions…"

In the midst of silence. Leylin suddenly spoke up.

"Although this plan is unreliable, we obviously have no better options…"

The old geezer let out a sign of deep resignation and pointed at Leylin. "We will do as he says! I happen to have the material for a few Sentinel Slates…"

Following which, he handed out vials filled with grey powders to the night shift Magus.

All the five Magi came together in a pack to start employing disguises and distractive methods on the Sentinel Slates

[Beep! Target Acquired. Move to 32° East For Maximized Perimeter ]

Leylin listened to the approximation and move in the directed coordinates. He signal all his subordinates to assume positions.

All the Magi saw the weird movement of Leylin but ignored it. They have much bigger issue to deal with, so they concluded his activity as his mere panic of a green horn Magi.

[ Beep! Target in attack area ]

As soon as Leylin heard that he raised his hand and attacked. All his Subordinates Jumb back and withdraw their weapons.

" Latent Fireball "

A collosal wave of flame enveloped all the 5 Magus. With his additional amplification of Elemental Conversion, This attack was very destructive but Leylin didn't count these out for the count yet.

As expected all five beaten and charred figure jumped out of the flames, all of them must have used their trump card for defence.

Nevertheless their condition was very dire and weakened. There was fury and hatred in their eyes as they coldly looked at their assailant.

At this moment, Leylin could clearly see a golden glow appearing in the eastern direction.

Without wasting any time Anna, Grenn and Dexter jumped out on three of them, throwing out a attack potion and engaging them in a physical confrontation.

At first the Magus looked at the trio with contempt but with only a clash with them, they were rudely awoken to the truth that these Knights are not easy to deal with.

Anna moves were like a beautiful yet deadly dance with her daggers, her opponent was the Large Bloke. This guy on the second day of their travel asked Leylin to lend her for a night to 'relief' himself.

Leylin obviously refused, The Bloke was smart enough to not antagonise a Official Magus for mere lust and immediately trailed it off as a joke.

But his words intentional or not brought upon a disaster on him.

' Master gave me permission to kill him if I want, but since he can be useful for master, I will just punish him for bringing about my Master's wrath' Anna decided to not kill him, showing her leniency and wit in the matter.

From the sidelines Leylin understood her decision and was pleased. In this world there will be many moments where one may feel offended or insulted, but one should keep their priorities in check and act accordingly.

Leylin raised his hand in Lancey direction and performed a strange set of hand gesture.

"Restrict!"

*Sssii!*

The countless black tentacle-like objects reached out from Lancey's shadow and bound her tightly. Effectively neutralising her.

The old man who had no opponent and a window of opportunity, used his Flight spell to gain a leverage and area advantage.

" What are you doing?" The old man growled, looking at the rapidly closing in Golden Gaint from the corner of his eye .

Leylin jumped in his direction, Seeing this the old man was euphoric and charged into his direction, as the old man was about to scoff at his recklessness. He saw silvery wings extended from his back.

Leylin appear behind him in an instant like a ghost, he activated his innate spell Kemoyin Scales and punched his from behind, breaking his spine and rupturing his internal organs. The old man was sent flying with a shriek.

Leylin manoeuvred his wings and changed them into a pistol gun, effectively shooting at the three magus fighting his subordinate with insane accuracy.Taking this chance his servants crippled them instantly.

Leylin landed on the ground, he swept his gaze over the area.The whole exchange lasted few moments. 3 of them are crippled and knocked out, the old man is profusely bleeding and looks to be on his last legs, And Lancey is restricted thoroughly.

Leylin walked near her and looked into her eyes with his green vertical slits. Her mouth was covered by shadows, which restricted her from speaking. Lancey face has morphed into a expression of helplessness and confusion.

Leylin ignored her, pointing his gun in the old man's direction, he shot while gazing into the wilderness. Grenn and Dexter immediately carried all of them together and binded them together, all while breaking their every limb and cutting their tongues off.

[Beep! High energy species life form spotted, determined to be a Golden Giant, recommended to leave immediately!]

At the same instant, the A.I. chip displayed out of a red warning screen.

"humm.." Muffled sound came from the binded Lancey. She thought that leylin wanted them to act as bait as he retreated.

Leylin ignored her, his eyes were blazing with firing battle intent. He closed his eyes and looked into his meridian where layed 3 drops of sparkling scarlet red drops of blood, these are the Pure Blood Essense that Leylin has accumulated so far.

" Secure the perimeter. Anyone who shows even a little of suspicious activity and struggle, immediately kill them " Since the beginning of the fight, this was the first time Leylin spoked.

Anna immediately retreated with the captors in tow and made sure to have the ability to act immediately. Grenn and Dexter stood with their sword out ready to plunge it in the captors, at a moment's notice.

Leylin changed his weapon into a long sword and released all of his dormant strength. He commanded the A.I.Chip to Scan the perimeter to make sure no variable is present.

"kjfl" The Golden Giant let out an unknown type of shout as if swearing and strode in Leylin direction.

"Let's see what's you are made of!" Leylin tossed away a red test tube towards the inclosing beast.

Golden Giant made no effort to evade the attack at all and kept moving towards Leylin.

* Boom*

An explosion occured but the Golden Giant appeared unscathed. Leylin snorted and threw a Latent Firewall Spell its way.

He knew that against something of its power level, it's no use but he still wanted to test his current spell power, previously against the Magi he didn't use his full force.

His Latent Firewall hurled towards it with much more vigor and destructive prowess than earlier, The beast was covered in flames.

But immediately after it ran off from the flames still charging in his direction, although the attack charred it's hide, it was still not a lethal attack.

Grunting Leylin jumped into a close quarter bout. His strength with Kemoyin Scales was enhanced to another level. His muscle clenched up and his mass increased.

*Thum*

Golden Giant charged upfront and clashed with his sword.

" It's still not enough " Leylin was thrown back from the impact and felt a slight tremor on his arms. He felt that his arms muscle are slightly torn.

Suddenly Leylin eyes opened widen up and instinctively he threw a couple of potions in his left direction and prance off in the right direction.

* Shiiii*

Golden giant threw a spell and an explosive attack was met with layes of defensive potion, The defense potion exploded and created several layers of red colored transparent shields.

*Crack*

In a instant the Defense potions were laid to waste and the the whole area was leveled, smoke and dust made everything invisible and a eerie silence acceded the premises.

* Booom*

As Anna and Leylin Guards were about to jump in, they felt a ferocious overbearing pressure descend upon them. Even the Golden Giant flinched, although It doesn't have a lot of intelligence but the animal instinct is still present in its consciousness and right now it's instinct were flaring up pretty intensely.
