Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Chapter 75

Leylin flied with lightning-fast speed and At such high speed, all that one could be seen was a long, black afterimage. He has already checked for all necessity inside the sect and stored up a lots of research journals and unique soul related items.

*Swish!*

Leylin quickly passed through a metal tunnel, and ahead of him was a dead-end. A thick layer of metal had completely sealed this passage.

But Leylin's expression did not vary in the least; flickering constantly, he rapped at a few points at the wall.

*Rumble rumble!* Along with a loud noise of a machine, The metal in front of Leylin split open with a deafening mechanical noise, exposing a silver passage.

Written in the ancient Byron language was a sign on one side of the tunnel that read: "Tunnel made for emergency exit, specifically for lab employees!"

Leylin's blazing ruby red eyes flashed and, without hesitation, he rushed through this passage.

The silver passage quickly flashed past Leylin.

Immediately, the A.I. Chip's voice intoned, finding what he was looking for.

[Discovered hidden compartment. It wasn't recorded in the map previously. Do you want to continue through that way or not?]

Leylin smiled a little, as he sprinted forth, and a small door suddenly appeared on the silver wall.

The room behind the door was very narrow. It was a compartment of a few square meters in area and at its center was a very simple and mysterious ancient spell formation.

This spell model was built entirely using a black stone and on its surface were all kinds of symbols. All around this spell model were tall obelisks.

Leaning on one of the obelisks was a corpse.

This corpse was wearing a black gown that was lushly and delicately embroidered. More importantly was that even after such a long time had passed the clothes still had a bright and beautiful luster.

"Here you are!" Seeing this corpse, Leylin inwardly exclaimed.

"A.I. Chip, record the patterns on the spell model" Leylin issued an order then he crouched down next to the corpse, and began fumbling about its clothes.

Some miscellaneous items and a torn diary made of parchment paper fell into Leylin's hands.

[The spell model's formation and the runes have already been recorded.]

After hearing the A.I. Chip's intonation, Leylin immediately left the secret compartment.

Leylin fought a wave of weakness as tapped on another wall of the secret compartment.

And behind him, with a rumbling noise, the secret compartment door closed and a white light was emitted throughout the entire passage.

Leylin came out inside the small hall again, before the painting. He simply camouflaged the entrance and sprinted away.

A black Shadow trail was left in his path as he made his way towards the base. His speed was phenomenal, let alone commoners not even a Magus will be able to tell what it is.

...

At this moment, If one observed thay can easily discover a difference in the Nightless City!

The Nightless City's large gates had all been opened wide. Giants, which were usually rarely seen, could be seen wearing animal hides that did not fit them, and holding huge wooden stakes. They were entering the city in twos and threes.

With every step they took, the ground slightly shook.

The number of people in the Nightless City had increased by around 50%, causing a few passages to become congested.

However, whether they were regular humans, acolytes, or even some official Magi, their expressions were dark. In particular, there were a few official Magi who had a deep sense of distrust in their eyes when they saw unfamiliar Magi.

In the first zone of the Nightless City, shops that used to be bustling despite their unorganized placement saw a sharp decrease in price of raw materials. Defensive items, potions, and the like, on the other hand, were experiencing an increase in price. Many shops had already put up signs saying they were sold out.

All this was evidence of the scale of the impending war that would affect the entire Magus World.

The reason for this change is the rumours about the start of a third Magus war started spreading around the Nightless City.

At the beginning, nobody took it to heart, but as time passed, the fact that no organisation stood up to refute this claim has Nightless City in a frenzy and about two days ago, a group of Magi who were out exploring in the Eternal River Plains found a Magus' secret plane.

This group had been searching for some ruins and had accidentally activated the secret plane, resulting in the leakage of this news, which could set off wars. This wasn't anything new on the south coast.

More importantly from the information provided by Magi who had gone in, it's about ten million mu! The density of elemental particles in there is of the highest quality, A! This news as confirmed the impending doom is near.

Even a large-scale light Magi organisation like the Four Seasons Garden only had a secret plane the size of a little more than a million mu. Just from the site of exploration, the secret plane was already much bigger than what the Four Seasons Garden possessed.

Such a huge benefit was enough for the peace-loving light Magi, who were usually buried in research, to covet and be willing to kill to obtain the secret plane.

Such a huge secret plane has a large number of entrances too and after the exploration group activated one of them, the other entrances were also automatically opened. In total till now there are at least 7 other entrances.

The Eternal River Plains are just at the border between the dark and light Magi's territories. The undulations from the entrances to such a large scale secret plane are definitely detected by official Magi, even if it were a thousand li away

Many dark and light Magus organisations got there first, and upon seeing the secret plane, started killing each other from their desire to gain possession of it. In the end, nobody received any benefits, and they later passed on the information they had learned to the organisations behind them! This information spreading from layer to layer resulted in a civil war between the various Magi.

In the end, the dark Magi managed to take control of three entrances, while the light Magi took control of the other three themselves, and the last one was captured by a rather peculiar group named 'RebelHearts' ,whose allegiance is with neither Dark nor Light Magi.

No one knows much about this group but one thing is for sure, They have the strength to back up their seize of the entrance. Both Light and Dark Magi has send various groups to capture this entrance, thinking this cannot be too difficult of a task but unfortunately for them they were wrong. No one came back alive, not even a single soul.

This group has at least a Rank 2 Magi backing them up, and a very strong one at that. It's not only their strength that has enabled them to procure such benefits either, The reason why they can establish a kind of equilibrium is due to their willingness to trade with both of the parties.

At a normal time, both Dark and Light Magi would have cut off this third party to not mooch off of them but the situation is quite delicate right now. The actions of this group in trading has benefitted a lot of parties.

More importantly no one wants to attack them, and risk such a party shifting in favor of any opposing organization, taking shelter from them and destroying the somewhat delicate stability.

Magi only care for benefits and this group is providing it now, so the decision makers decided to let things go and not take any destructive actions.

In the huge secret plane, a bloodthirsty battle to steal away various precious resources and territories ensued. The war this time will be inside the plane, and Magi from all over will fight within. Of course, the most important part will be to gain possession of the territory within.

The appearance of the Eternal River Plains' secret plane had galvanized the south coast!

All Magi, whether it be the organisations, wandering Magi, or even fugitives, were all rushing towards the Eternal River Plains.

The Eternal River Plains' secret plane was said to be the largest plane found on the south coast to date.

It had an area of as much as ten million mu and even exceeded the total area of all resource-based secret planes that had previously been found.

Many Magi wanted to reap some benefits from this magnificent discovery.

For this kind of secret plane, just a small part of it was enough to cover several decades of expenses for the average Magus! Magi organisations that could set up such a plane were sure to be outstanding, even in ancient times.

Magi who could obtain an inheritance of this level could definitely break through their bottleneck and allow them to have a chance at advancing to rank 3 or become a rank 4 Morning Star Magus!

Such a huge temptation not only made the idle Magi crazy with desire, even older Magi who had retired a long time ago had decided to act and were rushing towards the Eternal River Plains.

Due to their great numbers, the Magi rushing for the secret plane eventually had conflicts with the large Magi organisations guarding the entrances.

Dramatic scenes—chaos, murders, alliances, and betrayals—were incessantly acted out on the stage that was the Eternal River Plains.

Many small Magi organisations and individual Magi even made an alliance to contend against the large dark and light Magi groups.

In such a disorderly situation, The only remnants of stability could be scrutinized in the entrance occupied by RebelHearts.

.....

In the centre of commands and headquarters for RebelHearts in the secret plane, near the entrance. There was a magnificent building with designing similiar to a Royal Palace, littered with various kinds of killing defensive formation and impressive guards.

All the important Position holders of this group were present right now, in a secret chamber. This room looked every bit of regal as a room could possibly look.

There were various decorations all around the room, and a beautiful gigantic snake themed throne atop a elevated stage, in the far corner of the room.

Surprisingly all the RebelHeart's, Special Supreme Squad called 'Dragon Guards', usually considered as the elders are kneeling in front of the throne.

Atop the throne, sat an imposing figure whose unconscious undulation makes even the strongest of will, shiver and cower before him.

The man was obviously Leylin. He sat with his hands resting on the armrest. His ruby red, sunset color eyes looking at all the people below him. There was a lazy expression present on his face which signified his apathy towards the rest of the world.

His hairs were flowing like waterfall, as the Umbra black Raven hair multiplied his pale and chiselled face charm and his slightly pink lips which will invoke envy in all womankind. His skin looked delicate but to consider them as such, will be the last mistake his enemy makes.

This group RebelHearts is actually an organization made by Leylin. Even before he went to the sect ruins, his strength already rivaled that of a Rank 2 Magus. Leylin decided not to wait much and started his own group.

With his strength and unique ways, no one can call the bluff of his strength. Even if they did, he was already a Rank 2 Magus in all but name. He is easily capable to get rid of all the pests in the way.

His organization started to recruit talent all around the place, Leylin already has the formula for many spiritual force potion as well as Grine water. Most importantly he is bounded by no oath, to not divulge this information.

He made the most of the opportunity and welcomed lots of level 3 acolytes signing a contract with him and granting the needed resources to breakthrough and later stabilize their strength.

His contract were very laxed compared to other organization, the only main points being, not spreading the information about the group and staying loyal.

With a small snake residing inside their consciousness, and the consequences of them trying to betray him: Let's just say death will become a luxury to them!

He made trading deals to many small and medium sized Magi organization too, with the help of Tears of Mary. Backed up by his strength no one dared to have any ulterior motive and complied willingly.

All of his slaves including Bicky and Lancy has already reach strength equivalent to a peak Rank 1 Magus, the former with the help of many Tears of Mary and elemental crystals.

All knights standing at the peak of Saint Knight level, especially Anna almost unbeatable below Rank 2.

A group having this much Top level Combatants with humongous pockets of Leylin and His strength acting as a deterrence to evil intention, this organization was bound to be successful.

And they did, with a little demonstration of their strength, all of Leylin's slaves earned respect and cooperation of the new arrivals.

Leylin looked around the room, looking at all of his inner circle except the presence of Bicky, Garvin and Fraser. Bicky is, of course in Four seasons garden for some unfinished business there.

As for His two other guard, his trusted right hand person Anna is just explaining to him about their untimely and unjust demise.
