Chapter 44
[Modifying the Fallen Star Pendant's runes inscription, increasing illusory runes to make Host compatible with its control.]
A.I. Chip sounded at this very moment.
Blue light flashed across Leylin's eyes, and many transparent patterns began appearing on the surface of the Fallen Star Pendant.
Next, all he needed to do was to proceed with the modifications according to the transparent patterns on the Fallen Star Pendant.
And the A.I. Chip could assist Leylin during his inscription process, so there would not be any mistakes.
Using a pair of tweezers to fish the Fallen Star Pendant onto a white cloth, Leylin took out a solid inscription pen and started to finely carve on the surface of the cross.
At this point, his hand was like a steel sculpture it was as steady as possible, without even a single tremor.
This required an enormous amount of attentiveness and endurance and consumed a lot of time and energy.
As time passed, beads of sweat started to drip from Leylin's forehead.
[Fallen Star Pendant's runes modification is a success! It has newly added reinforced runes, energy dissipation runes, extension runes]
As he listened to A.I. Chip's reminders, Leylin revealed a smile.
Immediately, he picked up another inscription pen from beside him. It had grooves on its body and was just as solid.
"Next, I shall fill in these carvings!"
Leylin lit two beakers and proceeded to melt the raw materials he had separated earlier from the magic artifacts. Those beakers now contained only liquids.
Subsequently, Leylin followed a fixed proportion and mixed the two liquids together.
Leylin played with the grooves on the pen and it split open, revealing a hole to pour water into.
Immediately, he poured the concentrated silvery black liquid into the body of the pen.
Fine runes started to twinkle and flicker around the inscription pen, producing an enchanting radiance.
"In the south coast, acolyte ranks use beginner grade magic artifacts. Level 1 Magi use middle-grade magic artifacts and the occasional beginner grade magic artifacts. Only the extremely powerful level 2 Magi have the capability to get hold of high-grade magic artifacts!"
The Fallen Star Pendant squeaked in Leylin hand, like a pet adoring it's master.
Leylin gently stroked the pendant and hold it upside down and connected the Meridian with his Dantain and poured some energy.
Suddenly It evolved into a sharp Silvery Sword. It's edges were deadly sharp and were itching to cut apart all of Leylin Enemies.
Leylin commanded it and it again changed it form into an armour, covering his body. The armour gave an impression of being indestructible.
Then Leylin slowly gained greater proficiency with it and changed it into Dagger, Glove and even a Gun.
He was beyond himself for achieving such an amazing weapon. It is what one may call a 'Soul-weapon', not really though! Since it's more like a Weapon Companion, Nevertheless It's potential is amazing.
...
In the main Hall, Leylin sat reclining on his chair. He looked at all of his slaves. All of them on their knees.
They all had a strange mark on them that only Leylin could feel. This mark was ' Seal of Lucifer' that belongs to him. Anyone under the seal is a slave to him through and through. No divulge and chances of betrayal is left.
Anyone with 'Seal of Lucifer' if tries to betray Leylin will have their soul explode immediately.
Leylin can use this for various means like communication and keep an eye on them, In order to strengthen his people he gave them a lower version of 'Saint Knight' Meditation techniques.
With that they have evolved explosively. Their strength has reached the limits of What a Grand Knight can do and very soon they will reach Saint Knight stage.
' But this stage is probably the end of the road for them. The only reason why I can keep on evolving is due to my Dantain, while on the other hand they cannot even form their own Meridians. 'Leylin formed the Meridian points for all of them but he used their own Life force energy for it.
This is a conundrum of all who walk this path. What they need to advance is greater energy and that is exactly what they lack.
Leylin looked them all over once and stop his gaze on Anna, ' Strength equivalent to The peak of Rank 1 , that their limit. I have the ability to extend this but are they even worth the effort. '
All magus think logically, Although they are loyal. It's not a big deal since Leylin can get his hands on people more talented than them and then use his seal to make them loyal. Even though there is a need of consent to do that, He can find a solution by one way or another.
" Prepare the carriage , We will be leaving this place permanently " Leylin ordered. In the future, they may become obsolete but right now they still are useful as servants.
Leylin has other plan for them, He will not just throw them aside. Although he is not a benevolent Master, He is not so bad either, in this world where human life especially that of slave is worth shit.
