Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)

Leylin clenched his fist tightly — the hand grasping the sword hilt was not effected at all.

His face appeared a pale and petrified as if he had not appeared in sun for a while.

With his strong vitality Leylin was not effected much. If it was any regular human, they would have long since frozen to death!

Suddenly Jayden started to stir , Torash's gaze turned frostier, and immediately he waved his hand. A thick and long lightning streaked across the sky, directly landing onto Jayden.

* Bang! * The vines on Jayden's body fell and he fainted. Moreover, his whole body turned into a black colour, as if like a pile of scorched rubble.

"Stay put Trash! I will deal with you later!"

Torash waved his hands.

According to the A.I. Chip's detection, although Jayden's outer appearance seemed to be terrifying, there was still a life force pulsating in him. Therefore, Leylin did not bother anymore about him.

"A Lightning element is indeed one of the stronger powers. Although Jayden's magic artifact belongs to an attack type with minimal defense, he was still defeated so quickly! No, it could be that the other party had been toying with him the same way a cat would with a mouse!"

"Now, it is my turn!"

Torash, who was on the other side charged directly at him and brandished a short black staff in his hand.

"You overestimate yourself!" Leylin snorted and used the cross blade to slash at him.

* Peng! * The two weapons clashed. Even Under the frost effect, Leylin speed didn't change, In fact he deliberately matched it with Torash to enjoy the fight a bit.

After the two weapons clanged, Leylin used the force in both his arms and pressed the sword down on his opponent. Torash Stumbled and fall back.

"Hehe… Your strength isn't too bad!"

Although the blade was just centimetres away from his face, there was no fear on Torash face. Looking at Leylin, his gaze held some ridicule and… the savage thrill of retaliation?

Leylin knew his next move, but didn't dodge. He want to see how the Fallen Star Pendent will fare.

In very next moment, several bolts of lightning extended from Torash's arms and shot at the cross blade, even up to Leylin's hands!

In the moment when the lightning current was about to hit him, Leylin forwent his sword and evaded the attack.

"Too late! Torash looked at Leylin's figure and chanted an incantation.

The current from the staff directly bore through the mud and extended like the root of a tree. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to Leylin.

* Zzzii! "Once the black lightning landed on the ground, it reappeared from the ground right in front of Leylin.

As if a poisonous snake, the blue lightning charged at Leylin.

"Ah!" Bicky who was on the other side involuntarily screamed and she clasped her mouth.

* Ping! * Suddenly, a layer of silver membrane appeared on Leylin's body.

This layer of membrane immediately draped over Leylin's whole body covering every inch, even his orifices were not left out.

On the silvery membrane, there were several pale reflections of flickering red jewels, giving off a mystical lustre.

The blue lightning took on the shape of a python with a crazed leer and opened its jaws. Lightning-made razor-sharp teeth directly bit on the membrane.

* Sssii Sssii! *

A similar sound to metal smashing porcelain was heard, and the ear piercing noise travelled across the whole battlefield. Bicky involuntarily covered her ears, to let her nerves calm down.

The lightning on Leylin's body exploded, and from time to time a few poisonous-snake-like lightning currents converged and let off an explosive noise.

Looking on, Leylin seemed to be a silver statue, who was receiving the blessings of lightning bolts.

The lightning attack lasted for close to thirty seconds before it dissipated.

There was a satisfied expression on Leylin's face as he looked at the indication given by the A.I. Chip.

[… Host is subjected to Lightning-based attacks. Degree of power: 9! Fallen Star Pendant has automatically activated, energy consumed: 15.99%. Host has successfully blocked the attack and sustains no injuries!]

"Good!" Leylin looked at his hands. Even after Knowing that his opponent excelled in the Lightning element, Leylin had didn't put on leather gloves before the battle. His hand were a little black which quickly reversed to normal.

The Fallen Star Pendant's defense could negate attacks up to 15 degrees. This is to say, if Torash attack could not exceed this degree, Leylin's body was like a turtle shell until the energy of the Fallen Star Pendant was depleted.

"How is this possible?" Gazing at Leylin who seemed fine, Torash's mouth was opened widely, enough to fit several duck eggs in it.

"This is an attack my professor has personalised for me. It complements with my affinity and my degree of attack is at least 9! How could you be fine?"

"I understand now! You definitely must have a defensive magic artifact on your body!" Black-haired Torash pondered and quickly understood the truth.

"Although it is only a low-grade defence magic artifact, there will definitely be many official Magi who will be interested in it…."

Torash licked his lips and a fervent greed appeared on his face.

For this bloodbath, both sides signed an agreement not to use any strength that was above an acolyte!

Any person, scroll of magic artifact which exceeded this criterion would be teleported out in a flash and had no chance of getting in the secret plane.

Although Leylin's magic artifact was precious, it still belonged to the low-grade series.

Any rank 1 spell's degree of attack was 20 and above. If Leylin used the Fallen Star Pendant to block against them, he would definitely be slain immediately, not leaving a trace behind.

However, amongst the acolytes, the Fallen Star Pendant was a divine item!

Furthermore, even an official Magus would not mind having an extra layer of defense, no matter how small it was. However, the defence from Fallen Star Pendant was activated from the pendant and did not affect the owner in one bit.

The value of a low-grade defence magic artifact was at least 5 times that of Jayden's attack type magic artifact!

"Kill him! Kill him! Then that magic artifact is mine!"

Torash's eyes turned bloodshot, "Even if it is a magic artifact, there is a limitation. Once it's depleted of energy, before the next recharge, it would be a piece of trash! However, could I last until that long?"

"Even if I'm unable to keep him here today, I can gather other students to chase after him… Wait a minute, maybe there is a better idea?"

After seeing the Fallen Star Pendant, Torash did not harbour any hopes of holding Leylin here today. However, the flames of desire slowly invaded his logic.

Suddenly, Torash saw Bicky who was behind Leylin and his eyes flashed as he made a proposition.

"You! You are very concerned with the green-haired girl behind right?" Torash questioned, "Don't deny it; jumping out to save her is the best proof!"

"Yes, I am " Leylin didn't deny but rather answered truthfully with a smile.

"Give me your magic artifact, and I'll let her go. Not only that, even Jayden and the other girl, I'll let them go too!" Torash licked his lips.

"Haha…." After hearing that Stupid Proposal, Leylin shook his head.

"Yes! I can't keep you here today as you have the magic artifact. However, I can definitely retain the green haired girl, and even kill her…."

Torash changed his words to a threat.

"Are you sure?" Leylin looked even calmer.

"You…." This reply made Torash extremely angry

"You seem to not understand the situation you are in!" Leylin looked at Torash with ridicule in his eyes.

He deeply understood that towards people making threats, you must never show that you are extremely mindful of the thing in their hands. If not, you would be baited into more and more demands.

Leylin has been playing with him from the start, probably even Torash Understand that a little but his arrogance as 'Genius' Will not allow him to think rationally. He thinks that he can at least bind leylin for some time and then corner him with his fellow Acolyte.

" Do you think you can protect her?"

Torash's pair of cunning eyes flitted to the back of Leylin.

"I will rip her apart right before your eyes if you don't listen to me!"

"How lame!" Leylin did not responded to his provocation.

"However, it's time to end this!" Leylin looked up the sky, and the light rays were even brighter than dawn.

Magicians were intelligent beings. By threatening Leylin, Torash only harboured a negligible hope. His main purpose was most likely to stall for time until other acolytes could support him.

The Abyssal Bone Forest Academy acolytes in the secret plane were at an extreme disadvantage. Now it was also the second day, and the enemy acolytes would have already gathered.

Once Leylin was discovered, a scene of calling and shouting for him to be killed would happen. Leylin himself is quite tempted to go all out but he know that just plain stupidity. Showing your cards in the open is like taking an article of Cloths off from your body in Winter.

At that time, the innumerable spells which could cover the sky and earth would rain upon him. Even if Leylin had the Fallen Star Pendant, its energy was limited.

"What end?"

A few ingredients appeared in Torash's hands, as he stepped several steps backwards.

"Of course, it is to end this silly game!"

Leylin's eyes flashed and chanted an incantation.

* Sssii! * A reddish-green gas spread across upon the icy ground.

When the frost and a thin layer of mist came in contact with the red gas, the temperature of the battlefield rose immediately by a few degrees.

As for the green mist, it continued to spread across the field. The visibility lowered immediately, and one could not see beyond a 3 metres radius.

"This is a spell I specially prepared for you, Flaming Cloud of Afterlife!"

Leylin spoke softly. Earlier when he exchanged senseless sentences with the opponent, he was actually using the A.I. Chip for calculations. Furthermore, he set up the field, planting various types of ingredients in it.

"Just a mere corroding gas!"

Torash disdained it. On his whole body, there raged a blue current. If one described the current on his body as just a thin layer before, now it could be said to have already expanded to be 1 centimetre thick.

"Go!" Torash pointed, and the blue current directly charged into the reddish-green mist.

* Sssii! *

Where the electricity went, the reddish green gas evaporated, revealing the area around it.

However, Torash's smug face was not maintained for more than a moment before it changed.

"This energy wave! You! You are not some level 1 acolyte, but a level 3 acolyte!"

From the centre of the reddish-green gas, energy fluctuations could be blatantly felt. His own electric snake was immediately corroded by the green mist. Furthermore, a trace of green colour continuously extended along the trajectory of the lightning towards Torash.

"No!" Torash gave a profound look to Leylin who was in the midst of clouds and mist and then simply broke into a run.

Leylin swung his arms and a green magic ring entirely enveloped Torash and he slowed down as if he was bound by chains.

*Sssii!!* A red-green smoky cloud spread close to Torash and it wrapped itself around his body.

The smoke grew denser and soon, Leylin could not even see Torash.

* Crackle! * Under the Flaming Cloud of Afterlife came the sounded of lightning and thunder sounds, along with Torash's cries of anguish.

Leylin smiled coldly. This Cloud of Afterlife had been modified by Leylin, and was specially inserted with the most conducive energy particles for the Lightning element. It could be said that it was the bane of all Lightning element acolytes!

After hearing the wails within the Cloud of Afterlife, and the noises of flesh corroding, a disturbed expression appear on Bicky's face.

"Argh! I'm going to kill you!"

A dozen seconds later, Torash charged out of the Cloud of Afterlife at Leylin, bringing a ball of cloud that clung to his body.

"Ah!" After seeing Torash's appearance, Bicky and the other acolyte let out a terrified scream.

At this moment, Torash was half-naked, with his clothing almost dissolved. On his body were many abscesses which were leaking with thick yellow pus.

One of his eyeballs had fallen out of its socket, held hanging there by a few bloody tissues still attached to it.

Along with a few missing pieces of flesh on his face, right now Torash looked like an imitation of Leylin's corpse from the previous world.

"Although acolytes can use energy particles to strengthen their vitality, such a strong life force is still extremely rare!"

Leylin stretched his hands, and a black wrist guard automatically extended its reach, finally turning into a black bow where a sharp arrow with a reverse spike was notched on it.

[Wind speed and humidity in calculation, adjusting trajectory!]

Under the aid of the A.I. Chip, right now Leylin's archery skills were that of a bow master.

* Chi Xiu Xiu!* Four arrows were shot from the bow and like black rays of light, streaked across the sky, directly penetrated through Torash's 4 limbs, nailing him to the ground.

"Urgh Urgh!" Torash struggled. The flesh on his body continuously fell to the ground, and it seemed that even his voice was now affected. Right now, he could not even voice a single word.

"We… Won?" Looking at this scene, Bicky's eyes looked somewhat bewildered.
