Warlock of the Magus World 1-596 Page 176

  *Chi!*

  After breaking the pendant, a green light engulfed the female Magus’ body.

  All her wounds were instantly healed, and if not for the bloodstains that were left on her body and clothes, it would be impossible to tell that she had been injured.

  The green light travelled across her body, and she could immediately feel the effects of the increased gravity lessening. She quickly used her four limbs and crawled out of the area that the brownish-yellow gravity spell formation affected.

  *Bo!*

  After leaving the spell formation and feeling the gravity return to normal, she heaved a hefty sigh of relief and stood up.

  “That was much too terrifying! As expected, it’s impossible for us semi-converted Magi to interfere in battles between rank 1 Magi who are at the peak.”

  *Boom! Boom! Boom!*

  At this moment, the sound of metal clashing against metal produced ear-piercing sound waves.

  As if bitten by a snake, the female Magus took seven steps back and glanced at the middle of the spell formation. At the center, there were two human figures that had slammed into each other.

  In their surroundings, whether they were large trees or rocks, all were reduced to powder once they were brushed past.

  “This is too dangerous!”

  The female Magus’ expression changed, and she immediately fled further until the two Magi were on the verge of disappearing from her line of sight. Only then did she halt her steps.

  “It should be fine here… right?”

  Though this was what she told herself, the Wind elemental energy particles around her feet did not dissipate as she made preparations to leave if she saw the need to.

  *Bam!*

  Covered in a layer of black scales, Leylin struck Marb’s curved, metallic knife.

  Sparks flew, and the clash produced an ear-piercing sound, causing the area around them to quake. There were even some black cracks around them that slowly extended outwards.

  *Ping pang!* At this moment, the sound of metal breaking sounded from the middle.

  The two figures that had been fiercely fighting quickly retreated.

  Leylin swung his arms, and in his hand was the sharp tip of a blade! In the fight just now, Leylin had actually used brute force and broken one of Marb’s blades!

  At this moment, the tip of the blade was still wriggling about and had transformed into multiple metallic teeth that were biting at Leylin’s palm.

  *Ka-cha!*

  The metallic teeth bit at the scales and produced crisp sounds, but there was not a trace left on Leylin’s hand.

  When the bloodline transitioning had occurred, Leylin’s innate spell formation, Kemoyin’s scales, had also powered up. Its physical defense and resistance to magic had risen by more than 30 degrees. With the added power from Leylin’s magic, Marb’s metallic weapons were now unable to hurt Leylin.

  “Hm? How dare you resist!”

  Leylin furrowed his brows, and immediately after, the muscles on his right arm bulged out. More than 20 degrees of strength were displayed!

  *Weng!*

  Clenching his fist, a miserable shriek of someone at death’s door could be heard from the space between Leylin’s fingers.

  Leylin then opened his right hand and threw a few bits of metal that had clearly become dented out of shape, and thus become useless, onto the floor.

  As Leylin had crushed the metal, Marb had trembled slightly, as if he had been wounded. With a liquid metallic body, Marb’s spirit was spread out evenly throughout his body. The moment Leylin completely destroyed the liquid metal in his hands, a part of Marb’s spirit had died as well.

  “You’re- You’re actually completely fine! This entire area actually has twenty times the usual gravity!”

  Seeing that Leylin was completely fine, Marb’s face was filled with disbelief.

  Just ten or so days ago, he had used this spell and caused Leylin to have no choice but to flee. However, currently, Leylin was actually so nimble even with the effects of the gravity spell formation. This situation caused Marb, who had recently experienced the pain of losing part of his spirit, to become terrified.

  Though he was aware of Leylin’s talent, Marb realised that the rate at which he improved was far above his expectations!

  “Gravity?” Leylin looked at the brownish-yellow spell formation and smirked.

  Within his body, a transparent energy membrane emitted a faint purplish red colour, protecting the most vulnerable organs in his body.

  This was the defensive ability that the Giant Kemoyin Serpent’s bloodline had brought to him. In addition, even if this membrane was not activated, just his vitality of 25.7 was enough to withstand this level of gravity. After all, the sturdiness of his body was working up to the same level of hardness as the body of the ancient Giant Kemoyin Serpent.

  “Today will be your doomsday!” Marb was stern and resolute.

  “Twenty-nine times gravity!” He roared fiercely, and his body was engulfed by a layer of brownish-yellow ring of gravitational force.

  *Ka-cha! Ka-cha!*

  A gravitational force that was even more tremendous descended and even Leylin could feel the pressure and the increase in his weight.

  However, the one who got the worse end of the deal was Marb himself.

  Right after sending out the attack, the sound of porcelain breaking could be heard from his body.

  Like a spider web, numerous cracks emerged all over his body.

  “Even if I am to bet on the Lilytell name and sacrifice my life, I must kill you here!” Marb looked slightly craze as he spoke.

  “A fight to the death?”

  Leylin’s expression became serious. Though he had already gone through the second bloodline transition and his strength had surpassed that of a rank 1 Magus, he was not yet a rank 2 Magus!

  Facing a Magus who was also at the peak, even he had to be extra careful.

  *Crack! Crack!*

  Chilling sounds were produced as Marb’s metallic body suddenly increased in size, his muscles bulging as his body expanded.

  In the blink of an eye, Marb transformed from a regular old man to a metallic, burly man who was over five meters tall.

  On the surface of his body was a luster that was unique to metal. The cracks were even more massive, and it looked as if his new form might collapse at any moment.

  Leylin’s eyes flashed as he felt the immense, unstable energy waves of elemental particles from Marb’s transformed body.

  “You want to take me down even if it means your own death? Dream on!”

  Leylin quickly retreated, and at the same time, he chanted a few syllables.

  *Rumble!*

  Countless black fireballs emerged from the shadows on the ground, hovering in the air.

  The latent fireball, which had already been overwhelmingly powerful, now had an even more terrifying might of 60 degrees with the added bonus from Leylin’s current elemental essence conversion!

  This was practically the limit of the power that a rank 1 Magus could possess. Under the might of the black fireball, the soil melted and turned into something akin to the crystalline particles of porcelain and glass.

  Chapter 230 – Slain

  “Latent Fireball!”

  Leylin raised his right arm and hundreds of small black fireballs fused in front of him, till they were about the size of a human head. The black in the middle was even more intense, giving it a profound air as if it could suck in human spirits.

  Under the intense flames that were of a high temperature, even the brownish-yellow gravitational rays began to show signs of instability, constantly retracting and extending.

  Facing the giant in front of him, Leylin’s expression was cold.

  The latent fireball soared through the sky as if passing through space, and it appeared in front of the metallic giant in an instant.

  The black fire’s high-temperature force field caused the metallic giant to sway slightly, liquid metal co
nstantly melting and dripping onto the ground.

  In the face of such a terrifying attack, Marb steeled himself and grabbed on to his right arm!

  *Ka-cha!*

  The ear-piercing sound of bones breaking sounded, and Marb himself actually tore off his own arm.

  The half-complete metallic arm that he tossed away showed signs of melting into the air and then turned into an oval metal ball. It then collided with the black fireball!

  *Rumble!*

  Bright rays of light unceasingly spread out, and at the centre, there was a black and silver-white light that was constantly squirming… devouring…

  Even though Marb had tried to increase the distance between them as best as he could, he was still affected by the energy waves. *Ka-cha!* The gravity spell formation at his chest immediately cracked.

  *Pak!*

  The brownish-yellow gravity spell formation simply collapsed, and the gravity immediately went back to normal.

  *Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*

  Explosions sounded one after another like beans exploding.

  Just ten seconds later, the entire ground had been levelled, and even a large portion of the earth had been blown off.

  At the centre was a gigantic pit that was so deep that one could not see the bottom.

  After the ash and dust had somewhat dispersed, Leylin came to the side of the pit. Seeing the black flames that were still burning, he asked aloud, “Dead yet?”

  *Shua!*

  A silver-white figure immediately cut through the curtain of ash and appeared before Leylin.

  “Marb?!” Producing an expression of pure shock, he quickly backed away!

  “Ah! Ah! Ah!” Marb’s current condition was very pitiful. Not only had he lost his right arm, even his chest and thigh had injuries that were so deep one could see the bone.

  This was especially so for the injury above his waist. It looked as if he was on the verge of being broken into two.

  If this were an ordinary human or even an official Magus, they would find it difficult to survive, let alone go on the offense with such dangerous injuries.

  But Marb was evidently different. Liquid metal unceasingly flowed and covered several areas, forcefully patching up his body.

  Upon seeing Leylin, silver light that seemed to have turned solid shot out of his eyes.

  *Bang!*

  Two metal bombs behind his back exploded, the force instantly acting on his back.

  Using this method, he was able to catch up to Leylin.

  “We shall perish together!” Marb pounced forward.

  While in midair, his entire body dispersed and turned into a silver white curtain.

  The metallic curtain seemed to have a life of its own as it bundled Leylin within, leaving behind his head on the outside.

  “Hm? An interesting attack! Is this your final attack?” Leylin watched the silver liquid metal wrapped around him like a cocoon, his expression cool and not the least bit flustered.

  *Gulu! Gulu!*

  A large amount of liquid metal gathered at Leylin’s shoulder, turning into the face of an old man.

  “For the family! For Bosain! Metal will ultimately be destroyed…” The old man looked deranged and looked as if he was planning to die for a just cause.

  “By the way… do you mean to die together with that puppet?”

  Just as Marb was about to self-destruct, a voice lazily resounded from the other end of the battlefield.

  Marb turned around in disbelief, and immediately caught sight of another Leylin that had suddenly appeared. He looked to be mocking the old man as he sized him up.

  “You must have forgotten, but I am a Magus specialising in Dark elemental energy particles. For us, making a shadow clone is a piece of cake.”

  While Leylin spoke, the “Leylin” that Marb had bound, began to transform in a bizarre manner.

  The entire body became black and turned into a bundle of black shadows.

  “No!” A pair of silver-white hands reached out from the curtain as Marb yelled, trying to get away from the clone.

  “It’s too late!” Leylin exclaimed indifferently, with even some pity in his voice.

  *Shua Shua Shua!*

  The large lump of shadows that had Marb surrounded suddenly produced countless black tendrils that engulfed Marb.

  Marb bellowed as large numbers of fine, rotating knives emerged from his body.

  *Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* Sparks flew as the blades and tendrils made contact.

  However, this time, the durability of the shadow tendrils had increased in might by a large margin, and the silver-white blades eventually got stuck. Some even snapped.

  “Goodbye, Marb!”

  His expression was strange as he watched Marb, who was completely bound by the shadow tendrils.

  Next, he raised his arm, and then clenched his fist!

  *Boom!*

  ……

  ”Is it over?”

  The female Magus from before had escaped far, far away due to her fear of the aftershocks from the battle. Only after it ended did she dare to return while cowering.

  It was not that she did not want to escape, but if Marb was the one who won, it would be impossible for her to escape with her current speed. Hence, it would be better to take the chance and return. If Leylin and Marb were able to heavily injure each other, she could render some assistance too! This would ultimately benefit her!

  “Or perhaps… the two of them perished together? If that’s the case, all their possessions will belong to me! Hahaha…”

  At the thought of picking up loot from two mighty people, the female Magus began to laugh aloud a little neurotically.

  “My apologies, but you’ll have to be disappointed!”

  Next, Leylin’s voice was heard and the female Magus’ maniacal laughter suddenly stopped like a duck who had its throat gripped.

  “It’s you! That Leylin who caused me to be chased after…”

  The female Magus commented lightly, but quickly changed her words, “Oh! No, I mean Magus Leylin!”

  As he watched this female Magus, who seemed to be much too comfortable in this situation, Leylin shook his head and had no intentions of chatting with her.

  “Hunting zones are still quite dangerous. If you want to gather resources, it’s better to head to the other zones.”

  Leylin turned and left after he spoke.

  “Hey! Wait! Where’s that Magus called Marb? Did you chase him away?” Only now did the female Magus react.
