"You're looking for our boss? What's the matter?" A golden-haired brawny man opened the door as he stared at Lita and her company with caution. There was a weak wave of energy going through the man, marking him as an acolyte.

The air around Lita, Cole and Roderick was a bit suffocating although they were suppressing it, this pressure is the unwittingly released due to their aura.

After so long, Lita has finally incorporated into the ways of Magus. She has seen the hideous reality of the seekers of truth and the length they are willing to go to. This not only discouraged her but instead motivated her to not be pressed down like a mere ant. Both Cole and Roderick on the other hand are quite aware of the brutality of the human desires but they are also used to fight with honor, filial brethrenship which isn't in the code of conduct for magi. This experience has helped them all to cope up with their new reality which is this world full of horror, deceit, backstabbing and danger.

Lita didn't waste her breath on him and presented a token presses between her fingers

The ancient symbol of a black serpent eating its own tail contrasted greatly with the golden background. To others, this symbol made of runes, might appear to form a mere odd circle at the base of the badge.

However, since this man was an acolyte of theirs, he would definitely recognise the symbol of the Ouroboros Clan.

As expected, the man's eyes widened. He relaxed, lowering his precaution towards Lita.

"I'll go and ask" This time, the man's reaction became quicker and within a minute he brought out a light brown-haired man of a smaller build.

It was obvious to Lita that this man was a mere Rank 2 Magus.

These were the lowest level of Warlocks found in the Ouroboros Clan. Due to the fact that their skills were low and their families were in decline, they could only do miscellaneous jobs and silently accumulate credit, hoping that one day a bloodline genius would be born into their family or even a chance for them return to the general headquarters.

"My Lord!" With just one look, Tamansi recognised Lita. As far as Warlocks were concerned, the aura of bloodlines that couldn't be faked. The intimate and dreadful feeling it exuded was etched deeply in Tamansi's memory.

'This concentration is exceedingly pure. This bloodline must be that of a particular bloodline regal' The dwarf thought as he respectfully bowed. "My name is Tamansi, my Lord."

Lita nodded as she made her way into the bar. Cole and Roderick followed her inside like guards. These three are the only ones from the Beast World under Leylin's command, and have formed good friendship as well, In fact both Cole and Roderick knew her from the time she was with Leylin as he ruled there.

As she walked past the counter, she came to a room located underground that was even more concealed and complex. Tamansi didn't present any objections at the presence of two non-Giant Kemoyin Bloodline or it's subspecies Warlock. He could see both of them are extremely strong and are also some kind of warlock, but they were definitely not of Ouroboros Clan. Although service of non-Warlock isn't a welcome thought, it's also not a taboo either. Since, Lita is a regal Warlock they must be her protector, as for why they aren't from the same bloodline he neither has the right nor ability to know the answer of that question.

"Tell us everything that you discovered, and don't withhold crucial information." Cole spoke from the sideline, although his accent seemed a bit wired Tamansi understood him. Tamansi took a peek at Lita who took off her cloak, inadvertently emitting an imposing aura in her every move, seeing her not saying anything he immediately nodded.

Upon seeing the imposing aura of Lita, Tamansi did not dare to hide the truth, and immediately reported, "That was three days ago. At that time, I was here"

Numerous days later in the gloomy dark forest.

The chirps of the cicada drowned out the hushed conversation between the two people as other two stand on the sideline.

That was Doroy Forest, a large prehistoric forest where Tamansi had found the enemy base.

"It's here?" Cole asked. He was wearing a battle suit similar to that of Roderick while Lita wore a purple Magus cloak with reddish rims.

Her dressing, together with her slender build, as well as her pure bloodline temperament, made it seem like she was a princess out here for a walk.

"Yes, my Lord!" Tamansi replied to Cole, while bowing to Lita.

As a royal Warlock of the organisation, Lita held a high position and was in control of the life and death of the expatriates.

"After a few months of investigation, we finally found out that the Arm of Vengeance has been hiding here!"

"These rascals sure can hide! Rest assured My Lord, my subordinates have already rounded them up. Once My Lord gives his command, we will definitely be able to break through their spells, along with the men you brought along." The dwarfish Magus slapped his chest and guaranteed.

To Tamansi, it seemed that Lita, who was dispatched by headquarters, had a strength of around Rank 3 Warlock since, Lita didn't bother to hide her strength. As for her guards they didn't emit any powerful aura but he figured they probably weren't particularly powerful, maybe Rank 2 or something. Although this strength is good, it wasn't nearly enough to take care of a whole branch.

However, Tamansi figured since Lita was already out on a mission, there would definitely be numerous people to make up for her evident weakness.

For such royal bloodlines, wouldn't her family have dispatched a huge number of people to protect her.

"Yes, The three of us would be enough!" Lita spoke in a low voice. Her voice and words were used and heard extremely scarcely from the very start.

"No No one else?" Tamansi wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, "My Lord, please don't make such a joke. Inside this camp is Toram from the Arm of Vengeance. Apart from their leader, she is the strongest in their organisation, having reached the Hydro Phase two centuries ago"

Lita looked at Tamanshi, her expression saying 'so what'.

"Master! You may have overestimated my ability. Even with all of my men added up, we wouldn't be a match for Toram" Tamansi forced a smile.

He believed it necessary to clear things up with Lita. Even if she was a royal and a special agent from the clan, he couldn't just sacrifice himself for her.

Lita had a laughing expression as she was rendered speechless. With such weak Magi and acolytes, they wouldn't even be able to break through the spell formation.

It was of no consequence, though. Tamansi was in charge of intelligence, she did not have high hopes regarding their fighting strength.

"Just look after your men, We take care of the rest!" Roderick replied coldly before all three of them began floating up.

Suddenly, a powerful and chilling surge of mountainous energy filled the entire place.

"Th- Th- This!" Tamansi stared hard at Lita and the other two, eyes bulging. The energy he'd felt from Lita was not just of Rank 3 but extremely solidified, it looked to be in the either peak Hydro or early Crystal phase. As for Cole and Roderick, there energy undulation were even more terrifying although he felt a different sensation from them, he could now clearly see that everyone of them were at Rank 3 and not just weak at that either.

Tamanshi had felt like they burst forth like ferocious creatures.

The terrifying undulations of Lita's energy rose endlessly. In the blink of an eye, it broke through rank 3 and skyrocketed to an unpredictable level.

'My Lord, it seems like you're not one of those royals who only fool around, but instead a person with influence.' Tamansi's eyes lit up. If he were to be affiliated to Lita, he'd have an unimaginable future and could even fulfil his dream of revitalizing his family.

"Marquis! My Lord, you must be a Marquis that holds authority in the clan!" Tamansi balled up his fists, his face flushed.

The moment Lita stopped repressing her aura, he'd actually felt a desire to kneel. This accompanied by Cole and Roderick almost smash his bones and destroyed him altogether.

Tamansi had never felt such a sense of majesty from other Marquis similar to Lita.

Lita, on the other hand, did not care about how others felt about her.

"Which Magus is out there? We are a secret guild that rejects all visitors and transactions!" A large quantity of light was emitted, forming a giant defence shield covered in flickering runes. By the looks of it, the Magus isn't someone to be trifled with. Additionally, with the decisive tone of the Magus, most people would have backed off if they had stumbled upon this Magus by accident.

Still, Lita wasn't a bit intimidated, her eyes were cold, her mission here was to exterminate them.

Lita towered over the spell formation, and concentrated her strength. She wasn't going to waste her breath in talking.

"A Warlock from the Ouroboros Clan?!" A probing light shone down, and the tone turned menacing. The pure hatred dripping in that voice.

Lita's pupils reflected her indifference. With so much resources in her hands thanks to Leylin,

Lita used common formidable rank 3 spells that had came from heavy utilisation of the A.I. Chip's operational capabilities and customised a rank 3 spell for herself, and had just finished its simulation.

Moreover, this new enemy was perfect for Lita to test her new spell.

Meanwhile, at the top of a group of buildings inside the spell formation.

The face of the female Magus who had spoken earlier was distorted as she stared at a crimson crystal in her hand.

A female Magus who looked to be in her teens, cheeks still chubby, arrived at the side of her Mentor and asked, "Mentor, what's wrong?"

"It's the Ouroboros Clan. Those damned Warlocks have managed to track us here!" The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with a voluptuous body. She would be a stunning beauty were it not for the huge cross-shaped scar across her face.

"Ouroboros Clan?" The youth inhaled sharply. That name brought about images of demons, of a monster dens and other terrifying creatures. To her, Warlocks from the Ouroboros Clan were menacing demons that could swallow someone whole in a matter of seconds.

"You have to run off while I try my best to delay their path," the scar-faced Magus turned and ordered with a wistful expression.

"You want me to run? What about Hulk and Fanny, what about the rest?" The teen Magus was startled upon hearing those words from her mentor.

"This is a life or death situation, we can't afford to care about them!" The scar-faced Magus smiled bitterly as she watched the chaotic situation of the crowd below.

"I can't believe they're here!" A white-headed elder male Magus exclaimed as he floated up along with a few other Magi.

"We'll go all out then! There's nothing to be afraid of!" a muscular middle aged Magus said. He had an eye missing and his head was adorned with a tiger skull.

*Boom!* The spell formation trembled and the defensive shield started vibrated vigorously.

It was a sight akin to that of the heaven and earth cracking apart. It swept across the small encampment almost immediately, causing the faces of many Magi to darken.

...

Outside the shield, Lita was looking at the powerful defensive spell formation from a vantage point.

With a spell formation like this, given her level of strength, she would've taken some time to completely demolish it.

Lita gazed at the complicated spell model that was sent to her sea of consciousness by the A.I. Chip.

The many individual runes came together perfectly in this model and gave off an exquisite feel.

Lita had practised the manipulation of this spell very well through her A.I. Chip previously. The way she was using it now was as if she's tried it umpteen times, and it was beyond just proficient.

*Boom!* Numerous elemental tides were formed, and due to the impressive strength of this spell, the darkness and fire elemental particles of this region were instantaneously sucked away, as if encountering an elemental black hole.

The energy exhaustion of a rank 3 spell was, of course, not something rank 1 or rank 2 spells could compared to.

The terrifying energy did not in the least dissipate but instead agglomerated in Lita's palm, forming black and red rays.

The space caved in and was seemingly absorbed by the black rays.

"Lethal Maul!" Lita flicked her finger into a claw, and a black and red claw silhouette met the defensive spell formation with a loud bang.

[Lethal Maul: Rank 3 Spell. Elements: Darkness and Fire. Concentrates all energy into one swift energy pulse. Side effects: corruption and serious burns. Power: 350 370 degrees!]

By giving up on area of effect and condensing all of the power into one hand, it could descend upon as the claws of a ferocious creatures and grant death to any creature below the Morning Star realm, hence the name.

*Pop!* Just like a paper that was torn apart, the powerful defence shield fell short in the face of the deadly attack, and lost all of its strength before instantly shattering apart.

The fog faded, revealing the buildings behind and the Magi whose faces were drained of colour.

"Toram?!" Lita looked at her target. The scar on her face left an exceptional impression. Cole and Roderick flew to assume two different direction encircling everyone and making sure no one escapes.

"Three? A rank 3 Hydro Phase Kemoyin Warlock and two other at Rank 3?" Seeing Lita, Cole and Roderick coming to them, Toram's turned even more gloomy, and gave off a sense of hopelessness.

"This is life or death, we don't have to hold back any longer. Ensuring the escape of our seeds is the highest priority!" Toram commanded.

"Of course, I've been wanting to take the lives of Kemoyin Warlocks since long ago. I'll skin this bitch alive and use her as a !" A tiger-skull Magus remarked with hate, shooting a dirty glance at Lita, but he couldn't finish as suddenly both Cole and Roderick appeared before him and consequently threw their attacks towards him.

*Boom*

The Tiger-skill Magus was able to protect himself at the last moment, but he was bleeding profusely from the point of contact with both of their attacks. Both Cole and Roderick stopped their attacks since the target was suddenly backed up by Toram and an another magus.

Other than Toram who is a Hydro Phase, there are still two other rank 3 Magi.

Lita's eyes glistened as the A.I. Chip began collecting the data on her enemies and predicting the possible outcomes.

"Since you're a Kemoyin Warlock, if you lose your life here, I'm sure those higher-ups would mourn this loss!" Toram's eyes turned bloodshot, and she covered herself in a liquid-like armour.

"My life is not for you to take, it belongs to someone and no one can take anything which belongs to him and live after that." Lita retorted.

"Speaking of living, I think there is too much people here so I should do some clean-up!"

"Clean-up? Oh no! She is planning to" Toram's expression fell instantly but it was too late.

A horrifying projection of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent emerged behind Lita, "Toxic Bile!"
