"Next is the spirit core of the Corrosive Lizard." Two streaks of black shot out of Leylin's eyes, disappearing into the black shell.

Initially Leylin wanted to procure some blood of the Corrosive Lizard, but after some research he found out about the existence of a beast similar to characteristics features of the Corrosive Lizard so he wanted to get his hands on the spirit core of that beast.

Due to the particularity of the habitat in which the beast resides, it was tough for Leylin to gain access to such a beast, especially because of the difficulties in gaining access to enter in such an area where this beast typically are, but for a gigantic organization like the Church it was just a side errand.

*Plop Plop!* The green blood began to bubble, mist rising and forming a large green lizard in the air. On it's skin were numerous signs of corrosion, and its white bones and internal organs could somewhat be seen.

*Hiss hiss!* The green lizard's front claw scratched at the earth, as if it was eager to give something a try.

As if provoked by the Corrosive Lizard, Leylin felt the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in his body begin to stir.

Leylin's pupils turned amber in an instant.

As if it had been provoked, the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in his body operated frantically, emitting mysterious energy. This energy was nutritious to him, and thus his body immediately absorbed it.

The sentient force inside his dantain also stirred frantically and erupted straight into his system as both of the energy, of his bloodline and his dantain formed a strange synchronisation in between them and conjugated together to increase Leylin's spiritual force.

The Giant Kemoyin Serpent was a terrifying ancient species, adults of which possessed Morning Star strength. In other words, until a Kemoyin bloodline Warlock attained rank 4, the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in his body would release a large amount of power to help in his advancements.

Under the influence of the boiling Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline, a terrifying phantom in the shape of a black snake had appeared behind Leylin, exuding a powerful and cold majesty.

The black snake looked horrifying with a unique aura around it's presence. It's body was enveloped by a reddish mist orbiting around it and a formless energy pumped into the snake, which was being absorbed rapidly by the black snake.

Thankfully, Leylin had set up a strengthening barrier and isolation spell formation specifically to isolate his aura and not cause unnecessary collateral damage. Otherwise, he would definitely have alarmed the nearby experts and destroyed a part of the inn.

*Hiss* The enormous lifelike Giant Kemoyin Serpent phantom flicked its tongue, and rushed towards the Corrosive Lizard.

Compared to the enormous snake, the Corrosive Lizard was alike to a pitifully small rat. Even its roars had been suppressed into whimpers.

*Rumble!* The giant snake phantom opened its big mouth and swallowed the Corrosive Lizard whole.

"A.I.Chip, Scan and record the phenomena!"

Just at the instant when the giant snake shadow had swallowed the Corrosive Lizard, Leylin felt the bloodline strength in his body surge, as if it had become more concentrated. A large amount of strength began overflowing from his body. His blood began to rage uncontrollably and a pained expression appeared on his face.

The A.I. Chip showed that his spiritual force had begun to skyrocket.

269 287 299 It only stabilised at a value of 349.

The abrupt surge of spiritual force caused Leylin's vision to blur even as his brain ground to a momentary halt, eventually a calm and serene energy entered into his body and helped him recover immediately after.

"Compress!" A spell entered the spirit spell formation. Very soon, a resplendent glow erupted from the spell formation and enveloped his body.

The Dantain began to pressure his sea of consciousness. The originally violent bright silver spiritual force in his sea of consciousness shrunk under the pressure.

The large amounts of spiritual force particles, under repeated compression, gave off a greater bright silver glow, and in the end slowly gathered together to form a fog!

That was spiritual force in Vapour Phase, the result of a successful compression of his bright silver spiritual force!

Originally, the bright silver spiritual force was only an indistinct glow. But now, it had become corporeal!

After the first trace of spiritual force had taken shape, the rest of the spiritual force followed suit, and the conversion became much easier.

Leylin concentrated and continued to drive the sentient force into his sea of consciousness stabilizing and rejuvenating it. The energy around him shrunk, but it now held increased longevity and was more terrifying than before.

*Kacha! Kacha!* Light glowed from numerous cracks that appeared on the spell foundation surrounding him, until eventually it crumbled into dust.

It was at this instant that Leylin opened both his eyes. All the spiritual force in his sea of consciousness had been converted into a thick fog!

[Ding! Host has entered the Vapour Phase! Spiritual force has experienced changes, re-tabulating results!]

Leylin even with his almost guaranteed sucess rate felt a sudden rush of relief after seeing his successful ascension into the Vapour State. He couldn't help but release a sigh of relief after seeing this.

The A.I chip intoned, and not long after a set of data was projected before Leylin's eyes.

[Warning! Warning! More than 8.4% of the Host's cells are injured! Immediate treatment suggested!] The emotionless voice of the A.I. Chip sounded out and Leylin cranked his neck producing a popping sound.

"The after-effects of the surge and sudden concentration of spiritual force. It's good that, I used the sentient force in my Dantain to recover the sea of consciousness and stabilized my spiritual force, otherwise apart from my cells, even my sea of consciousness might have been affected slightly!" Leylin thought wryly, and thereafter waved his hand once again.

The three sets of Purple Leaf Snake-scaled Fruit that he had appeared in his hands.

"I could have used the sentient force to even help recover my physical injury but it would have been such a waste, especially since I have these. It's better to use the sentient force to gain a better growth." Leylin swiftly swallowed a fruit.

The exterior of the fruit had fine scales that felt like hard ice to his gums and teeth.

When it entered the stomach, the icy sensation of the fruit immediately disappeared, instead being replaced by a flow of warm heat that swiftly spread throughout his body. Leylin's cells were like humans that had almost died of thirst in a desert, rapaciously sucking up this warmth.

[The agent's cells have absorbed an unknown strength, and are currently in recovery! Current Status: Recovered]

The damage reported by the A.I Chip was decreasing, and eventually stopped and returned to the normal state.

Conventionally Leylin could have just rested and he would have recovered in a month or so but since he has a upcoming task to handle, he needs to be in optimum state and he had the fruits in hand anyways, so Leylin didn't hesitate to use it. More importantly Leylin is disgusted by the idea of being Injured and suppressed now after going through so much.

Minor damage to the body was the most cumbersome to heal. Normally, After breaking through, Vapour Phase Warlocks would have to treat the damage over a long period by using the radiation they emitted during constant practice.

Of course, that was a minor price to pay for the breakthrough.

But Leylin on the other hand has an outrageously high physical stat and recovering ability, along with his usage of sentient force to minimize the damage and consumption of the best medication. All of these conditions added together helped him recover instantly.

[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 3 Warlock, Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Nascent Knight. Strength: 46.3, Agility: 41.3, Vitality: 53.6, Spiritual force: 291.8,Magic power: 291 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force).]

"As I get stronger and my rank increases, it becomes harder and harder to make use of my gifts. At my current realm, even if I were to slaughter a ton of Rank 1 and Rank 2 Magus it would be an obsolete endeavor. It's not just the quantity extracted but also the quality excavated which in turns decrease the output and benefits I could reap. During this advancement only, I have already exhausted all of my saved up and stored sentient force into nourishing my body and gaining a push. For the current me, only existence at the level of Rank 3 are good enough for me and the current task assigned by the Church is exactly what I need. "

"I am almost at peak vapour phase now. At first, when I entered the Rank 3 warlock level, I thought that I was invincible within this rank but the powerhouses here are just absurd, and they cannot be measured with conventional methods. If I were to guess correctly I would be around the level of an initial or middle General Stage Beast Tamer which is already something at the top of the food chain here. " Leylin stood up and recalled the contents of the task assigned to him.

It is not a new plan or a spontaneous task but it's a very deliberate and well thought of idea, which will ignite the flames of war a step further. The Church has invested a lot into gaining this opportunity and they want everything to go as planned.

In actuality this one step marks the ascension of the conflict into the next and final step, the showdown of the leaders!

If the church is successful they can decrease the pressure on them by a great degree and attack with a more frontal approach.

The plan is for a team to be assembled to lead an attack and take down some important figure in the dynasties. There are a total of four team created by an assembly of different Orders and each leaded by a Commander, and they have four main targets, each are extremely important figures in their respective Dynasty.

This is a high class mission which will be partaken by only the elites of the Church fighting force. Originally Leylin wasn't a person picked out to join this task but his phenomenal ability in the field urged the higher ups to choose him. More importantly it's a test for him, to not only prove his loyalty by taking part in such a risky mission but also his capability to complete the task.

Leylin's work is very simple he doesn't have to actually intercept the target, it's the commander job. His work is to take down all the extra people who are the target's escorts as well as to make sure to delay the communication as much as possible. His task is basically crowd control. The Church wants to test him, not kill him so they would obviously not assign him a difficult job.

Ironically enough, unknown to them, Leylin currently has the ability to take care of both the target and the Commander at the same time!

"I don't need to get impatient, I can feel that the stars are aligning and the final destination is not too far. I need patience but that doesn't mean I am going to become an obedient dog either! " As Leylin thought this, his eyes glowed with a mischievous and brutal glow, his red eyes turned a bit more crimson and a savage smile spread on his face. This can only mean something bad is going to happen. For others that is.

The operation will be executed simultaneously in all four dynasties otherwise they will loose the element of surprise.

"I am sorry Blair, but work is work! " Leylin thought as he recalled the contents of his mission, which was the assassination of the General Rakim Welbring, Father of Blair!
