....

The duo Leylin just met was from the Rolithe Family!

The Rolithe Family is a rather famous Magus Family in the Black River region with a rank 3 Magus in charge there.

Leylin already knew about this duo of two fiance Jessica and Nolan. Apparently, the girl wasn't happy with the engagement and wanted to weasel her way out trying to use Leylin as a scapegoat but Leylin isn't a bit interested in them. He already knew what worth these two have and except for the small piece of Astral stone the Magus Rollithe keeps on himself, nothing is good enough for him.

If they were to disturb him though, then Leylin would rip their head aparts. It's not like anyone at only Rank 3 could find him if he wanted to hide and even if they do what could a mere vapour or even hydro phase Rank 3 Magus do.

Leylin rather looked at Lancy with a twinkle in his eyes, He is really impressed with her utility. Lancy could not only predict the future but her judgment about it's potential profits is also quite accurate, In only such a small interaction she could interpret the duos future and their use for him.

She is ought to be very useful in the future, there are many unturned stones and untouched areas in Central Continent and a prophetic Magus help is very appreciated and welcomed. Lancy could provide many valuable insight and could also make a lot of work easy and far more effective. Obviously her powers are not very overbearing and they come with a price, but once someone steps at higher realm in Magus World, only a bit of leverage could make the biggest difference.

'Her presence is ever better than a mere coin, if cultured properly she could be very beneficial in my future research and experiment.'

Leylin is making a trip to the Ouroboros Clan for benefits. Kemoyin Pupils, his high grade meditation techniques last level is very important as it could be the base on which he could implement any enhancement.

Although Leylin is sure of his ability to stimulate one out of his own, especially with many high grade meditation techniques as a reference. Leylin would never make the mistake of playing with his potential. Soul Force, the source of power at Rank 4 is totally different and a level higher than spiritual force. Faintest of mistake could be disastrous.

The boons of being a Warlock is very apparent. Bloodline Warlocks could make use of their bloodlines to advance rapidly, experiencing no real bottleneck at ranks 1,2, or even rank 3. All they had to do was wait for their bloodline to mature. They left regular Magi far in the dust, their rate of advancement extremely terrifying. However, there was an obvious disadvantage too..

Bloodline shackles! This curse hounded bloodline Warlocks eternally, causing them to be forever unable to surpass the power of the source of their bloodline!

It was impossible to notice this disparity at the lower ranks, and wasn't especially obvious even at the Morning Star realm. However, once one entered the circles of the Radiant Moon realm, there were few Warlocks who had the bloodline to advance that far. Hence, Magi were superior to them at that point.

Once the terrifying Breaking Dawn Magi came into the picture, the gap between the two was made even more apparent.

Due to the emotional instability from their bloodlines, they were rash and quick-tempered, often offending many Magi. On top of that, many of their bloodline experiments were considered taboo, which resulted in the discontent of many.

As a result, when the Warlocks fell, the Magi joined forces and held them down.

Under these conditions, the original Warlocks in the south coast and Twilight Zone died out.

The situation was slightly better in the central continent. Just as the Warlocks were pressured to the point that they were practically at death's door, the reopening of the astral gates helped the Warlocks bring in new blood.

In the ancient era, the splendour of Warlocks had come from the support of bloodlines from other planes.

'Thankfully, I have pushed this problem far ahead in the future to a greater realm. I could honestly claim that my current bloodline is one of the best, if not the greatest of all the bloodlines.' Leylin beamed with pride as he thought to himself. After going through the ancient text in Beast World, he understand that his thinking and theory about the relationship between the two, beast tamers and bloodline warlock is both partially correct as well as wrong.

From what he could gather, the Beast World was discovered early on by a Rank 4 Magus. It was a completely coincidental discovery.

Through that World that particular Magus reaped heaps of benefits but he was faced with retaliation for his greed because there were still existence that could challenge him at that period so, he had to retreat but his profits were very bountiful and he managed to breakthrough further. The main reason for his success was bloodlines so, he studied the already somewhat lesser known bloodlines of that time. After reaching a threshold he returned to Beast World, this time not only to destroy his enemy but also experiment.

With a whole world in his hands and a ridiculous amount of beasts and unique power system he had many benefits. Afterwards he brought in more bloodlines into the Beast World. His success was remarkable and he was able to distinguished himself as the best Bloodline warlock reaching the very summit of Rank 6.

After that the world lost all its luster for him and he moved on to a greater realm of possibility, but he still left behind an insurance for himself. The 'Leviathan Warlock Bloodline ' but since it already reach the Rank 6 level and he didn't want someone out of control growing up against him even when the possibility was extremely unlikely so, as an insurance he divided it into 7 core parts and left behind a legend.

Uncountable years passed but he never returned, If Leylin guess isn't wrong then he must have fallen in the Ancient War and because of some reason he couldn't make use of his last resort, whatever that may be. It could be that he didn't only die but his spirit was also trapped, one cannot say for sure the possibilities are innumerable.

As time passed, the bloodline thinned much and much and eventually was what Leylin found it to be. Bringing all the pieces together, Leylin triggered it's potential but the previous glory and meaning was already lost in the annals of time and this bloodline wasn't what it used to be.

Leylin even before reaching the real Magus level of Rank 4 has trailed on the path of creating a bloodline of his own. Once he reached Rank 4, he would finally reach his goal. Leylin has named this bloodline as - The ??? Bloodline.

Leylin slowly walked towards the cabin accompanied by his guards.

...

The first class cabin not only had individual rooms but also had the luxury of a dining hall with fine wine, all included in the ticket price.

After all, given the value of magic crystals, normal food and drink were all very cheap.

Only precious ingredients and high-energy beings could be used to make delicacies that were effective for Magi. That was why they were sold at such a high price.

Leylin sat down at a round table with a white tablecloth spread over it without asking anyone and then called his servants over.

They bowed respectfully, and seated himself at the edge of the seat, not daring to get comfortable.

"Mister, do you need anything?" At this moment, a waitress in black, low-cut maid attire with white socks arrived in front of Leylin's table, asking respectfully.

Leylin opened the menu and took a look. There were all sorts of dishes, and they could be considered quite sumptuous. "Give the best of the house."

The atmosphere in the dining hall was not half bad either, with warm light from a crystal lamp and a pleasing fragrance from the fresh flowers on the table.

At a corner of the dining hall, they had even placed a bard who was currently performing.

Even Leylin felt like he had made a good choice in spending those magic crystals!

After the fresh food was brought out, Leylin arranged the napkin and, with a knife and fork in each hand, sliced up the dish that was emanating steam. The meat here was of a good quality, and the chef had also spent great effort on it. The moment the fork and knife made contact with the meat, boiling gravy gushed out.

Leylin raised his wineglass and started enjoying himself. From the side, Jessica the annoying gal wanted to get close to Leylin in order to annoy Nolan but his whole table was occupied and the other girls looked as if they wanted to rip her apart so, she quit which was a great decision for her, because Leylin isn't a very patient person, although he won't cause trouble in the airship and annoy the Fallor Family behind it, but he would surely show her a good time outside.

Two days passed by quickly, the airship stopping outside a station at a middle-scaled city in Black River Region.

Leylin wore a grey loose shirt showing his muscles and a carefree outfit outlying his charismatic and animalistic demonic looks. He seemed rough but at the same time even more elegant than young masters of noble families, having the dignified aura only a ruler would have as he walked down the stairs.

Meanwhile, Kubler was like a loyal butler, following close behind and as the group acted as guards.

"After entering the Black River Domain, the Ouroboros Clan HeadquartersPhosphorescence Swamp will be very near" Kubler mumbled to himself as he stopped a few chariots for transportation. He was naturally very familiar with this place and had a tinge of both fear and longing.

After hiring a horse chariot, They enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Leylin enjoyed his time travelling as he sat along with Lita, Lancy and Anna while all others were in different carriage. He had a blissful journey as he marvelled the scenery and the various spots along the way.

...

Phosphorescence Swamp.

This was the general headquarters of the Ouroboros Clan. Very few other Magi ventured out to this place.

The swamp was a sea of thick black wetlands and the air was a continuous mix of cold and chilly yet hot and blazing. Occasionally, flashes of green phosphorescence could be seen on it.

The concentration of energy particles in the air is very high here.

Leylin looked at the graphic data collected by his A.I. Chip, nodded his head to Kubler who was standing behind him. Everyone else also assumed their position as they looked at the place in fascination and awe.

Although the average energy concentration in the central continent had far exceeded that of the south coast and twilight zone, the energy here was even more prominent.

Within Phosphorescence Swamp, the concentration of darkness elemental particles was the highest followed by that of fire. The concentration of these two elements was ten times higher than the average of Twilight Zone.

This is merely on the outside, if an element pool or secret plane was built, Then the disparity would be more terrifying. Such a location with a combination of darkness and fire particles is rare. Historically, when it was first occupied, this place had 5 Morning Star Magi who combined their forces to destroy a few powerful enemies, and brought along a country of commoners.

"My Lord, due to my current identity, there might be some trouble here!" he added.

He had been framed by others and was wanted by the Ouroboros Clan, hence before the accusations were lifted, he was afraid of being treated like a criminal.

"Don't worry. You are my servent, I would definitely not let you be punished without any mistakes." Leylin spoke as he looked in the direction of the entrance. Soon a few profound dark shadows suddenly emerged from the nearby swamp.

*ROOAAAR!* Two high-energy serpent-shaped living creatures suddenly emerged, making a big splash. The silhouettes of two Magi could be seen on their heads.

Leylin felt a resonance of bloodline from the serpent-shaped living creatures ridden by the Magi. In fact, they seemed to be blood descendants of the Kemoyin Serpent!

"Kubler! How dare you step foot in this place? Didn't you leave?" From where the 2 Warlocks were standing, a surprised voice was transmitted out and it didn't sound flustered.

Under these circumstances, Leylin shook his head. He knew that Kubler was innocent. The grassroots troops understood perfectly and even started to attack before they laid eyes on him.

"This is not my fault, I was framed by Johnny!" Kubler raised his voice, his face flushing red.

"We do not care about the details, just for the fact that you dare to step foot in Phosphorescence Swamp and brought an outsider!" Another Warlock immediately continued.

"Don't ruin my homecoming!" Leylin smiled faintly, took a step forward and garnered the Kemoyin's bloodline and the rank 3 spiritual force in his body, letting off a ferocious explosion.

Just like a hurricane, the energy willfully and violently started to sweep everything away. The awe-inspiring kind of familiarity in power left the two lower rank living creatures cowering and bowing with respect.

"A noble rank 3 Bloodline Warlock? Who are you? It is an honour to meet you!" The other 2 bloodline warlocks who possessed lineage of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent's bloodline immediately felt the suppression from Leylin. They knelt down to show their utmost respect. Frankly speaking they couldn't do anything anyway. Leylin aura was so intense that even their body revolted against them, their blood running amok betraying them.

"I received an Inheritance of Kemoyin Serpent Bloodline and has been roaming around for quite sometime and have met Kubler along the way and wanted to take a look at the Ouroboros Clan. Are you barring me entry? Am I not welcome here?" Leylin asked indifferently.

"Sure! Sure! It is an honour for us to receive you!" The bloodline resonance between two Warlocks could not be faked. Hence the two Warlocks were very sure Leylin was a warlock of a pure Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline! And this level was the highest in the entire Ouroboros Clan! Who would dare offend him?

"Lead the way." Leylin nodded his head and gave the order.

"Yes! Yes! This way, please!" The two Warlocks made eye contact and immediately offered Leylin a position on the back of a huge snake. The followers behind him stood absolutely strict and unmoving as they waited for Leylin command, The two Warlock saw this and after a moment of thinking they also welcomed them along with Kubler who was secretly touched.

One of the Warlocks could be seen secretly sending a message, probably with the intention of informing others, but Leylin did not bother to pay attention to it.

The Rank 2 serpent moved with great speed along the swamp, emitting an aura of terror that made all other animals stay clear of their path.

The two giant serpents glided along with great speed. In about 10 minutes or so, Leylin reached the depth of the Ouroboros Clan.

Here, a row of massive structures was combined together, forming a small scale Magus city, and at the front of the gate sat two enormous stone sculptures of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent.

With the delicate black scales coupled with the ferocious pupils, they looked like they could very well be alive.

At this moment, a small group of Warlocks was already waiting near the gate.

"Haha Welcome home, my bloodline brother!"

A young Warlock that looked like a goblin stood in front of the small group, his eyes were startled as he saw he couldn't fathom Leylin strength at all, soon his eyes glowed with a purple radiance lighting up upon seeing Leylin more closely. He stepped forward, stretched out his arms and hugged him.

"Thank you!" Leylin returned the hug.

The fellow had very fair and exquisite skin that seemed to be emitting some kind of peculiar charm, a common trait among Warlocks.

"My name is Robin, you might not know this, but as long as a Warlock has the Kemoyin's bloodline in him, he shall be considered to be a part of our family! My brother!"

"Is that so? Then brother Robin, My name is Leylin!"

"Yeah! Leylin right? Follow me! A Lord wants to meet you!" Robin held onto the arm of Leylin with an expression of excitement, totally ignoring Kubler and company who was behind him.

Leylin nodded as he knew that it was Rank 4 Warlock! Morning Star Magus! Duke Gilbert who has been waiting to meet our him.

Robin looked at his understanding eyes and could see that he somewhat guessed it.

Rank 4 Warlock! Theoretically, this was the highest level for a Warlock of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline! In fact, it was also a truly high level for the whole of the central continent. Even within the Ouroboros Clan, there were no more than three Warlocks at such a level!

"Come! Follow me!"

Robin quickly led the way, with the rest of the Warlocks following respectfully behind.

The Warlocks all showed their respect to Robin along the way. It could be seem clearly Robin held not only a high rank in the clan, but also a great deal of authority
