Spirit Circle, Wind Wolf Lair and Ouroboros Clanhave always been collaborating with each other. Exactly three years ago, They took control of a region that they had been coveting for, banishing the small Magus organisation already present there. They originally only thought that they were a small organisation, and didn't expect that they actually had the backing of Jupiter's Lightning.

This was how they invoked the battle between the Jupiter Lightning with the warlocks took flight.

Obviously it wasn't so easy because Magi were shrewd people. There was likely to be something in that region that neither side would want to give up on, If not for such a thing they would have solved any dispute long ago. It was impossible for something so minor to become such a big deal.

The alliance between the three Kemoyin Dukes and a peak Morning Star Warlock Lord Cybel were able to match up to a Radiant Moon Magus in fact they even held an advantage.

Afterwards, the conflict erupted and eventually the Jupiter's Lightning struck back, ambushing the three elders from the Ouroboros Clan.

Being in such a position, the Warlocks invested a lot and invited a Rank 5 bloodline Warlock, these existence are one of the highest ranking Warlocks in the entire continent. And a rank 5 Warlock could even defeat Breaking Dawn Magi! That sort of person was extremely rare, and none of them had even shown up for the gathering. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Due to the reinforcement by the Warlock's bloodline, he would definitely far exceed a Magus of the same rank. Jupiter's Lightning's Radiant Moon Magus would be no match.

With the amplification by the bloodline, the best Radiant Moon Warlock would make even a Breaking Moon Magus wary of them. This ensured that the heritage and status of Warlocks was passed down in the central continent.

Such characters were the foundation of every Warlock organisation's strength. It was not easy to ask one for their assistance.

Their mission is to join forces and eradicate all the remaining Morning Star Magi in Jupiter's Lightning at once, and then seize Crystal Mountain completely!

The Crystal Mountains was the main area where the conflict with Jupiter's Lightning happened, a mountain range that was located near the aisle of Arcelor. The Crystal Mountains were named so because of its production of a type of high energy crystal ore.

This ore could, to an extent, replace magic crystals as a power source for puppets, or to build formations and artifacts. This led to a decent demand for the ore, which kept the prices high.

It could be found everywhere on Crystal Mountain, even on the surface. This made extracting the ore easy, causing the place to be regarded as a natural source of wealth.

Of course, even so, it could only entice weaker Magi. It wasn't nearly enough to draw the eyes of Morning Stars.

Ore mines of such quality were already present in Jupiter's Lightning, Spirit Circle, and even within the Ouroboros Clan. It wasn't worth a fight between Morning Stars.

The real worth arose from a rumour about the place. Legends recounted that this was originally the headquarters of an ancient large-scaled Magus organisation Scarlet Crescent. During the war, the ancient Magi had peered into the future and decided to conceal the entire region with spell formations. They left their heritage there, and it would only appear when it was time.

Many Magi had brushed this off in the beginning in mockery, calling it nonsense. But on-site inspections revealed that those remains indeed existed, and even hid enormous wealth!

Jupiter's Lightning had learned of this information at the same time. As such, there was a disagreement about the ownership of Crystal Mountain. Battle soon ensued.

Both sides had shown restraint in the beginning. The battle was restricted to a small spatial rift, and only involved those at or above the Morning Star rank.

But when the Radiant Moon Magus found himself at a disadvantage against the combined forces of the three Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks and Cybel, he felt extremely embarrassed. Thus, this matter abruptly intensified.

What followed was the three Dukes being lost in the astral plane, and the allied armies besieging the Ouroboros Clan in the midst of trickery.

According to rumours and the data collected by others, the surfacing time of the remains of the Scarlet Crescent would be when the sun, stars and moon converge and when the arc of Oake appears.

After confronting Leylin's soul force for a while and checking his resolve, the will seemed to yield, "Follow the Path of Quandary, it will lead you to your answer."

As the voice faded, the sound of movements could be heard as a brand new aisle appeared in a corner of the garden. The floor was made of grey stone, and black specks spread out along the floor like numerous insects. They had the figures of twisting faces.

Scanning with his soul force, the outline of the Path of Quandary appeared in Leylin's mind. Leylin was about to leave but instantly he halted his steps and bowed to the void respectfully. For the existence at that level he has nothing but respect because if you cannot respect you goals then how can you tread your path. Leylin stepped directly onto the path.

The sound of footsteps could be heard as the black garden disappeared from sight the moment his feet hit the stone floor. All that remained was a long sigh.

...

"How could it be? Someone has already entered the Path of Quandary. That's extremely close to the core! and this magus is following my direction, does they know about me but thats impossible!" The old Magus wearing simple attire observed the light yellow notebook in his hands, letting out a low growl. His expression was that of anxiety and fear.

On one of the pages of the light yellow notebook, a general map had been drawn out with weak black lines. There was a little black dot moving slowly in one of the central passageways that was labeled the Path of Quandary.

There were also other dots on this map, but they were all situated at the exterior regions.

The old man himself was marked with a white dot. Though he was much faster than the Morning Stars outside who were being hindered by the labyrinth, he was still at the middle section and a distance away from the core. There was another dot which was awfully close to his location and was reaching his position very hastily.

Since he has entered here everything is going astray from his plan and somehow he is being pursued by a Magus too. Although he knows that what can he do except for run!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why is there a Magus that's so fast" the old man cursed, his expression full of impatience and indignance, "It's a pity that I only have the correct method to enter the ruins. I can't control all the secret mechanisms, or else"

The old Magus' ancestor had been a member of Scarlet Crescent, he was merely an ordinary member. While he had participated in the construction of the ruins, he had not been able to make contact with the core areas. Hence, obtaining this map, the password to enter, as well as some information, was the limits of what could be done.

What this old man doesn't know is that Leylin has already marked him outside and send his signature to track him by, to Lita. He didn't ask her to attacked outside because he had to make sure everything works out perfectly and now, that they are here. Only death awaits the old man.

"As long as I can get to the core area, I still have a chance of turning the tables!"

The old man anxiously and frustrated used his fingers and traced the map, finding another route. However, just when he was about to move, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The black dot following him has disappeared. No! it has not disappeared but has coincided with his own.

"So fast!" The old man turned around to gaze upon an astonishingly beautiful woman but her presence only brought dread to him.

"M-" Lita stood before him and without listening she held the old man by the throat, eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

"Rank 1 innate spells: Kemoyin's Scales, Eyes of Petrification!"

Lita proceeded to thrown the petrifying body without any care and picked up the yellow book.

She could see that from the edges of a map, a dot several times larger than the rest, and was ringed in red.

The few traps and patterns at the exterior were completely destroyed in the face of the large dot, and even their names disappeared from the map. The Lita easily understood the meaning of the map and the indications, "A rank 5 Magus is here."

While she kept lamenting, the her footsteps did not lose speed. Instead, she began to move more quickly.

"Leylin, I would take care of all this miscellaneous task. I just hope you are successful in your pursuit."

Lita stared at the little black dot in the Path of Quandary, her expression extremely resolved and loving. For some reason she knew that dot was definitely Leylin who was searching for his answers.
