"A.I. Chip! Check my current stats!"

Leylin immediately spoke inside. He had a very bad foreboding, he really wanted to be wrong right now.

[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 3 Warlock, Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Nascent Knight. Strength: 3{9}(43.1), Agility:2{7} (38.4), Vitality:6{13} (49.3), Spiritual force:0{7}(213.3), Magic power:0{7} (213) (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).Status: Serious injuries all over body, exhaustion of spiritual force! Suppression of the Foreign World! ]

The A.I. Chip quickly intoned. At the sight of his condition, Leylin could only force a wry smile.

"I was right! So this is what I was feeling! In addition to the injury. This world also suppress the intruders."

Leylin was disheartened to know of this. As of now, he needs every bit of strength he could muster but with his injury, slow regeneration and unknown locality with hidden dangers he was in a bad situation.

Not only had his overall stats decreased, even his spiritual force had been nearly completely exhausted and he is also suppressed, further minimising his recovery rate.

This state would probably spell the end for regular Magi. However, Leylin had a shocking vitality, and was even able to maintain his consciousness.

Leylin focused his attention on the sea of consciousness within.

The state within was even worse. As a large amount of spiritual force had been used, his sea of consciousness even showed signs of drying up. The crimson colour had turned dimmer, and there wasn't even a hint of silver spiritual force.

He looked at his meridian and it was also in a similar sorry state. The Dark Meridian were badly crushed and looked almost crippled. Thankfully it was recovering although slowly, through his body's vitality.

Leylin's turned his attention back to bis spiritual force and his expression immediately turned grim, as even fine cracks had appeared on the walls of his sea of consciousness. If his sea of consciousness shattered, it wouldn't be as simple as falling in rank.

Leylin sat down cross-legged, recalling the core information regarding the high grade meditation technique, Kemoyin's Pupil. "Meditation in your spirit. With your eyes, make eye contact with the Giant Kemoyin Serpent and gain its strength!"

The daily training of meditation techniques was something every Magus had to do. Every time Leylin used Kemoyin's Pupil, adjusting the frequency of his spiritual force until it was the most compatible with the operation of the meditation technique, he was able to penetrate through time and space and see the ancient, terrifying amber vertical pupils of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent!

This state was a phenomenon written about in the Book of Giant Serpent, which only occurred after one had studied it to a very profound level.

As Leylin meditated to a deeper level, the crimson rays in his sea of consciousness gradually grew stronger, and traces of silver spiritual force welled from the bottom from his sea of consciousness, refilling the dried up spring with new vitality.

After one round of meditating, Leylin had regained some of his spiritual force, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

'The regaining of the spiritual force is much slower than normal' Worry appeared on Leylin's face

"Even though all of my external injuries have now been healed. The Internal injuries are very severe. I really got seriously hurt! This cannot go like this. I need to seclude myself into solitude and recover"

Leylin knew that his current strength is very fragile, specially his usually overpowered physical abilities. He doesn't want to explore this unknown world in his current weakened state. No ones knows what trouble lies ahead. He also need to find a way to go out from here after he has recovered enough. The feeling of suppress made him even more gloomy.

Leylin looked at his Ring Of Despots, currently it was badly cracked and looked as if it is about to fall apart. One of the big reason he was able to survive is due to this ring. In the ring, is installed a complex formation which can maximize his blood utility when he burns his Pure Blood essence while decreasing the side effects.

He was able to continuously conjure shields after shield due to this feature only but right now the ring looked worst for wear.

In the middle of the ring there was a injured, fragile and thin little lonely black snake coiled up.

"Come Out! " Leylin commanded as he sat down leaning against a tree. The snake shook itself and groggily come out. It mildly hissed in sorrow as if showing concern for it's injured master..

"You are the only one left." Leylin looked at the tiny snake. Leylin stretched his hands towards it and used his hands to scratch it's head and started to actually talk to it.

"Hiss! * The snake hissed sadly, at the loss of it's companion, expressing sorrow which should not be possible for a magical artifact!

Leylin closed his red eyes which looked very weary and instantly opened them. His red eyes changed into a horrifying purple color as he looked straight into the tiny snake red little dots like eyes " It's a miracle even you survived. Tell me do you wish to help me? "

The snake vigorously nodded it's head and hissed as if agreeing. This is a rhetorical question. Leylin never once doubt that there will be another answer if any, but he asked to see the look in the tiny snake eyes.

The eyes of the snake actually had wisdom!

After such a long research on souls, Leylin reached a breakthrough. He had research materials which lead to soul research performed at even the Morning Star Magus Rank!

His bounty was very plentiful from this research. he was able to cultivate and establish consciousness into his snakes inside the Ring of Despots. He did so by making use of strong souls and erasing all stain from it, It's conscious behavior, memories and grievances as well. All negative and positive, making it a clear slate and then further marking his imprint into them and then put it into the artifacts.

Out of hundreds of research he performed only one was successful, which is this small little snake. Coincidentally only it survived and all other ones died in the space pressure.

This is not just a mere artifacts, it has now evolved into something much more grand.

Right now, Leylin looked into the snakes eyes with his weird Purple eyes and said, " I should grant you the name 'Sheshnaag' from now on. You will become my eyes and my hands till I am recovered enough"

The snake hissed happily and it's little eyes opened even more, as to let in an important guest.

"Purple Demon Eyes : Soul Possession"

Suddenly the eyes of the tiny snake became purple too coinciding with Leylin's eye. Leylin eyes turned back to normal as he started at the small little snake. The snake nodded towards Leylin and left in a random direction.

This purple eyes is a technique that Leylin acquired as he advanced into Rank 3 with his Nascent Knights path. This Knight path is very different than all others ones, it has changed the trajectory of his physical understanding.

In this stage, his body and soul has taken a step further into evolution. Eyes are the window of the soul, so he physically evolved his eyes and manifested various soul techniques.

He combined his knight path with his soul knowledge and he cultivated a technique called "Purple Demon Eyes ", with this he can use various abilities such as putting people in illusion and counteract all kinds of hypnosis. He can also use various ability like possession, like he did with his snake.

To posses someone, he needs to use a lot of strength which is not possible in his current state but since the snake is willing to help him, hence the process was much easier.

Right now, He didn't actually possessed it, he only directed it about the next action and through this method he could also manipulate it, making use of his connection and share real-time synchronization.

Leylin commanded it to scan the nearby areas for any inhabitants. He is currently looking through the forest from it's eyes.

Even though it's an amazing ability, it's usage is not very easy since anyone with adept knowledge of soul are able to protect themselves from it, but it's still has it's own uses.

"There is no signs of humans here, there is only some wild beast. I need to recuperate soon, This is as good a place as any! " Leylin looked around and choose to hide here, he doesn't know much about this world so it's better to remain low key right now.

Leylin performed a spell incantation to create a cavity underground and used Eidolon to sink into the ground and rest.
