"Someone from Freya's family came here? There's even an invitation card?"

Lita touched her chin, "Could it be that she's already broken through to the Crystal Phase?"

Leylin has asked Lita to have a good relationship with Freya, out of everyone Freya is the only female warlock Leylin gives a damn about. She has a particularly good attitude, excellent talent and a lovable disposition Leylin decided to shelter her family as disaster strikes the Ouroboros Clan.

Lita relationship is also not bad with Freya so, she decided to take Ivy with her and see what is the case. With Leylin busy in his own stuff, it is her responsibility to take care of all the politics and relationship connections. Lita has the burden of accomplishing Leylin task with the most perfect and efficient of ways. This is also an opportunity to shape herself, Leylin subordinates job is to serve him and make his task easy, not the other way around so, if someone is incompetent they aren't needed. Only by constantly shaping yourself and advancing would you have the honor and privilege of accompanying him.

Lita is expected to achieve good results and accomplish the task, this is what all the investment so far has been about.

Lita thought for a moment and sent down an order, "Inform the guest to meet me!"

Immediately, Timmy, who had been waiting, finally saw the well-known ravishing and extremely talented Lita in the Mahakaal Castle. Leylin has closed of all the areas and barred all entry inside the Magus Tower, leaving only a single experiment lab for Lita hence, Lita meet the guest here.

A few maids come in serving some desserts and drinks before withdrawing.

Lita watched the reserved young man. He was obviously very young, but the purity of his bloodline is very good. This descendant of Freya's family was probably someone that they favoured. Sending him here was a show of how highly they valued Leylin.

"The Dylan City is truly as beautiful as the rumours states, it only a pity that I didn't have the good graces of experiencing Lord Leylin infamous Magus Tower!" Timmy felt pity and grievance from the bottom of his heart. Leylin's top-grade Magus Tower had a reputation of its own within the Ouroboros Clan. There were always guests coming over and gasping in awe over it.

After chatting for a while, Lita asked, "Timmy, what are your intentions in coming here?"

At the mention of his business, Timmy turned solemn, "I was asked by the head of the family to pass this invitation to my lord but knowing that Marquis is busy it would be my honor to invite Lady Lita!" As he said this, he respectfully passed an invitation card to Lita.

Usually, if it was something common, communication via secret imprints was enough. Getting someone to specifically send an invitation was only something that large noble families would do. Even then, it was only done when there was some celebration or important festival.

There was a sweet scent from the surface of the paper. After skimming through the content, Lita nodded. 'Freya has already advanced to the Crystal Phase as expected, I heard that she was able to get some good items in an excavation long ago and return with many injuries. Maybe she was able to get something rare to help her breakthrough or either facilitate a transaction.'

For high-ranked Magi, advancement was always very difficult. Each success definitely called for a celebration.

Lita decided to go to the event, an invitation from nobility was extremely important. The other party had even especially sent someone over, and since Leylin couldn't attend if Lita refuses as well, the the Freya family would feel very uncomfortable.

After sending Timmy away, Lita decided to take care of some business. With Anna gone, all the management is on her shoulders. Lita choose to go to the celebration taking only Ivy with her.

Lita has already prepared the full forces to be in a battle ready position. Cole and Roderick would be stationed in the Dylan City taking care of the region as Lita would dive right into the hot bloodied fight that is about to begin.

According to the timeline, The three elders have all been deep in experiments on the astral plane, and it's not quite likely that they'll emerge.

The desire Kemoyin Warlocks had towards Purgatory was something outsiders were unable to comprehend.

Mere traces of the Snake Dowager was enough for all the Warlocks in the Ouroboros Clan to go crazy. After all, the restraints of their bloodlines could only be resolved with her.

In addition, the Purgatory World itself was a giant world. It held boundless riches and, compared to the surrounding worlds, it could be said to be a large-scaled world. If not, the Snake Dowager would not have chosen to move her community here. This resulted in many Magi going forth and exploring.

Since the three elders were now consumed in their research on the astral plane, this gave her the chance to take advantage of the situation.

...

Fresh flowers filled the ground. This was Freya's family's territory.

Lita then took Ivy with her and returned but were attacked mid way. This attack isn't unpredictable, in fact it was something which Lita ordered, she asked the Oakheart Clan to send some bounty magus on her way.

Reason being, her powers demonstration and true strength revealing. Lita needed higher position to get higher benefits so she created this plan. She killed everyone of her aggressor in front of the reinforcement of the Freya Family and exposed her Crystal Phase strength.

The highest authority in the Ouroboros Clan belonged to the three Morning Star Warlock elders, followed by a whole bunch of bloodline Marquises among whom the ownership was split.

But above these ordinary bloodline Marquises were actually a special group of people!

They were young Warlocks children who had already achieved the Crystal Phase and had hopes of advancing to the Morning Star realm! Such people were few and far between in the entire Ouroboros Clan. Their status was only lower than that of the few rank 4 Warlocks, and they were provided with the best resources, aiming for nothing less than advancing to Morning Star.

Now that Lita had shown that her potential was not inferior to those, exceeding it in fact, she would definitely receive more attention from Duke Gilbert!

This is all for one thing, the authority and opportunity to sharpen her strength.

Everything went according to plan and an order from the headquarters, was issued which was that Lita is to become an enforcer of the Ouroboros Clan, and will be in charge of patrolling all the regions under control! She received powers to attack any royals under the rank of Marquis. Even if it's a Marquis, she has the rights to imprison them!

Although her unrelenting action could potentially hurt the benefits of various families and become a public enemy she didn't care.

Lita collected her team of elites warlock lead by Parker along with Ivy and dived into a series of constant fights and eradication. This action was also needed to clear out various families vault and their library. Plundering is an extremely profitable action given that one has the ability to storm through the revenge that may follow but regarding this Lita had no worries.

There were various information hidden in the archives of these families, especially the Ancient ones. Who knows what wonders is hidden there, maybe something like how Robin family had data about Gluttony imprint. Lita searched high and low and did all she could to rip these value information out. As soon as she got something that is maybe useful she send it to the stationed team in the Dylan City to investigate and acquire all the benefits.

With the strength of Cole and Roderick, they explored various good treasures and old scripture which was added into the database of A. I. Chip. Information is information, one shouldn't underestimate it, Leylin would rather have something and not use it than, wanting it and having nothing.

These exploring and plunder was extremely good for Lancy too, who got many rare things to help her subsequent breakthrough.

The most excited was Ivy as she got the chance to release her true strength and chew her enemies inside out. Her innate Beast is the Three Headed Cerberus, which has extremely high bloodlust and fighting capabilities with ability to use three elements and coupled with the analysis and simulation of A. I. Chip, Ivy could be considered to be a half-magus. She is also extremely well versed in sword arts, ivy was able to release the outcome of a hundred years of training on her enemies, and although she isn't very strong only around the level of peak Vapour phase Warlock, her lethal attacks are extremely horrific and even some warlock under Lita were in awe of her ability.

Everything was going according to plan as Lita waited for the fateful day. On the outside, the Oakheart clan has surrounded the Dylan City and the whole place was in chaos which is obviously a front since, Leylin smuggled more of them inside to speed up the work of the new Magus Tower construction.

On the surface, Lita was without able to return to her territory and was waiting for information from the Clan.

Finally the confirmation she was waiting for arrived in the form of a connection from Freya as she explained they can't make contact with Mentor or the other two elders meaning the elders are gone.

"The time has come, Leylin has been waiting for me to take care of the situation here for sometime, so that he can explore the continent, and now the final moments are here. Ouroboros Clan, now you belong to Leylin. The headquarters and all the resources inside would be a good gift for Leylin."

The chaos in the Ouroboros Clan was like a stone thrown into the peaceful lake that was the central continent, setting off ripples everywhere.

Due to the mutual deterrence of Morning Star Magi, such a large-scale war was rare.

The information about the current state of the Ouroboros Clan spread throughout the entire central continent like wildfire. Many spies, investigators, and idle Magi rushed towards Phosphorescence Swamp.

All high-ranking Warlocks were summoned to the headquarters but neither Leylin nor Lita went there personally but a team was assigned to take care of the situation and responsibility on the Farlier Family. The used the pretense of being under pressure and attack to dodge the responsibilities.

"Storm clouds are brewing!"
