Leylin walked silently garbed in a magnificent golden white robe as mused over the information delivered by Anna and Ivy previously.

Not long after talking with Bicky, Leylin understand that through her journey she venture outside the South Coast and entered another continent called Western Plains.

Leylin has previously read about this part of the surface world and area wise it's approximately only a bit larger than South Coast which is remotely considered as a water body island.

Even though it's size is small it's particularly richer in resources housing dozens of Rank 3 crystal phase magus, but this area isn't enough suitable for a Morning Star Magus to grow and develop hence it's left to it's device without any interest from any major powerhouse.

Bicky could be considered as a powerhouse in such a situation as she roamed freely without any trouble. Unfortunately through she came to know something which wasn't suitable for her to have knowledge about, sometimes the biggest sin is to know more than your strength allows.

Faced with such a conundrum Bicky met a series of brutal attempts of subjugation which she deflected barely, but something way beyond her comprehension happened which made her rapidly flee from the Western Plains.

What happened was that she came to know of the real backer of the organization she was clashing with, the backing was none other than a Morning Star Magus!

Bicky was scared shitless knowing of such a possibility and ran away with her dear life and retreated to South Coast meeting Leylin afterwards.

Leylin himself found the situation a bit odd because to his knowledge a normal Morning Star Magus would not turn his attention to such a barren place. This could either mean that there is something important there which attracted the attention of such a powerhouse or a Rank 4 has risen amongst the ranks of Western Plains.

Both the situation was quite amusing and piece together with the reason why Bicky was hunted Leylin send both Anna and Ivy, the ideal Morning Star who had nothing better to do. Although Leylin cannot be bothered to go, maybe these two would find something amusing or even a good chance for themselves.

If nothing else it would make a nice tea party story, little did Leylin knew that the rumoured item which Bicky got wind off did seem to have some actuality, and the Morning Star Magus was not someone from Central Continent.

The Rank 4 was a mere Magus who advanced with an erroneous mediation techniques, which means although he was Rank 4 he wasn't able to perform the pride and prestige of a Morning Star, the pinnacle of ancient spell combination method Arcane Arts.

Such a Rank 4 is a wastrel in the Magus circle hosting the strength just above of a crystal phase Rank 3, even if they can Lord irresistibly in a place like Western Plains against Anna and Ivy, he is no good.

'Hmmm.. It's quite interesting that Anna and Ivy still didn't retort when I assigned more high ranking personnel there. Maybe the bad feeling they were talking about does actually have some basis and that place can be interesting.' Leylin smiled scratching his chin as suddenly his steps halted.

*Dum dum! Dum dum!* Along with the footsteps, a giant figure emerged from the darkness.

It was a giant that stood tall at over three metres, with two long shafts of spears slung on its back. Complex runes covered his body, giving off a metallic lustre.

There was a grim expression on its face, as if it belonged to a dead creature. Only two scarlet rays of light were projected from its pupils.

The undead giant seem to boiest a powerful physical attack, with a high resistance to magic spells. It can led any normal Magus to despair.

*Dum dum! Dum dum!* The giant walked over as it unsheathed one of the spears on his back locking at Leylin.

*Whoosh!" The spear thrusted forward, but oddly enough, it remained hoisted in midair just before Leylin.

"Ahoooo!" The giant withdrew his spear and rammed his body, howling towards the Leylin. Very soon, he staggered half a step backwards, as if some sort of ferocious predator was in front of it.

"That little lady researcher Nina has dabbled into Branded Swordsman recently, she would love this specimen."

Although it seems to be a body made of flesh and blood, there seemed to be some modifications added to it. It's rather akin to a metallic bodied demon right now. Even it consciousness was wiped out, with the only defense mechanism within it remaining.

Leylin stepped forward towards the giant, blue light shining from his eyes as he scanned the giant in front of it.

Leylin held onto part of the Branded Swordsman's inheritance, but it was lacking of information. Even after the simulation and conjecture from the A.I. Chip, it could only reached the strength of a rank 1 Magus, which was the previous saint knight before he got the research and bloodline samples from Beast World.

This material was the best to make magic beings. After elemental modification, flesh not only retained its original defensive and offensive abilities, it could use spells without obstructions.

In just a short period of time, Leylin could tell all that. For things on a deeper level, he would need to do more experiments and dissection..

'Lets get out.' Leylin would be entering the territory of the Arthur Empire underground, and this was a massive empire. There were large numbers of other races outside, and had a surface area countless times larger than Twilight Zone.

In the Arthur Empire, there had never been a lack of Morning Star ranks. There were even numerous Radiant Moon Magi and Breaking Dawn.

*Hualala!* Numerous pitch-black lightning formed a cage with all types of beasts roaring.

A black dot the size of sesame constantly grew in size amidst the lightning and eventually turned into a figures, dashing out while braving the lightning.

"Finally here!" Leylin shook his robes looking around with a boorish air but he was still curious about this new place.

A short distance away from these black ruins were dark hills. Lights were reflected from atop the hills, making it as dazzling as crystal. These hills had peaks made out of metal, and had at their heart a metallic castle that stood tall.

This was the Lyers Warlock Family's main base and where their headquarters was.

Thorned Thunderbird likes places where high-grade metallic ores are in the surroundings.

Leylin floated in the air, observing the large castle. He had yet to meet anyone here but he didn't need to either hence he directly appear here instantly to resolve the situation.

"Come out here, Leylin Farlier, is here to greet the Lyers family!" Leylin transmitted with a thick and low voice, not bothering with the normal Warlock directly calling the Master. His voice resounded in the castle, making contact with endless spiritual force and soul force.

"Who is it?"

"What a terrifying and suppressive bloodline aura!"

"He dares take appear prudent against Lyers Family. How bold!"

Various roars mixed with spiritual force charged out, but Leylin ignored them.

These people who were a dime a dozen obviously could not draw his interest. What Leylin focused on was the aura hidden deep inside the castle. This person had obviously passed through the threshold of Morning Star and entered rank 5.

Leylin floated in the air and waited for a little while. There were quite a few Warlocks with varying abilities that came out.

Suddenly violent lightning caused the earth to rumble and mountains to break as a powerful conscient came over.

"Who dares disturb my sleep?" Terrifying rank 5 aura was transmitted, wreaking havoc like a storm. Those Warlocks knelt down respectfully, "Grand Elder!"

A streak of lightning was like a godly sword that broke through the first floor and appeared in the air, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.

His features were characteristic of the Lyers family Dark blue long hair, silver pupils and slightly pale skin. However, his expression was ripe with arrogance, as if nothing in the world was worth troubling himself over.

After seeing Leylin, his expression grew less intense, "A Warlock?! Why have you come to create trouble in our Lyers family? Hm, no, that aura"

"Fellow Warlock, how about we go discuss in a remote area ?" Leylin chuckled and caress a small red bird in his hands. This bird was none other than Angar who woke up from its slumber after digesting a bit of law previously. It has already advanced to Morning Star level and Leylin wanted to test it out, that's why he draw out the head of Lyers family.

Although just at Rank 4 with the bloodline of the ancient Phoenix as well as nourishing from the law, it can still last a few rounds, Leylin didn't have much hope for it to win against an old expert with Radiant Moon Warlock strength but just a battle isn't that bad, Angar has suffered no grievance since his hatching and it's innate arrogance has been growing, although meek before Leylin. How can Leylin not understand it's subtle changes and biggest drawbacks. So Leylin wanted it to battle seriously and suffer a bit because only then would it soar.

"Come with me!" The Warlock took a look at Leylin and disappeared like lightning, moving like a meteor.

Leylin followed behind him, large amounts of black gas surrounding his body. He did not move urgently, but while he didn't seem fast he kept up with the Warlock with no signs of falling behind.

The Warlock ahead brought Leylin along to a large oceanic lake before stopping.
