Cabourn approached the place where the seal had once been. The seal had already been mostly removed by Leylin and Caesar, and this rank 2 Magus would be able to easily dispel the rest.
Cabourn lightly tapped on the floorboard with his shoes. Two sides of the desk split open, revealing the sealing formation below.
At this point, the spell formation had mostly been destroyed and the runes of the spell were dim.
At the centre of the spell formation that had split open, a translucent depression emerged.
White gold flames the size of a pea were burning steadily.
“Is this the core body of consciousness of the platinum gate?” Though these white gold flames were tiny and looked ready to go out, Leylin was able to sense the immense energy and solidified spiritual force within.
This feeling was like lava that had yet to explode. It was like the sea during its tranquil stage, deep and enigmatic, enormous beyond belief!
“This is it! This is it!”
The rank 2 Magus, Cabourn, mumbled in a bewitched manner.
Next, he turned to the Magi present. “What happens next is that I’ll take over here until our people completely occupy this place!”
The core body of consciousness of the gate of the secret plane was basically like a key to the gate. It was extremely important. In order to prevent any accidents or unexpected situations, the rank 2 dark Magus was going to take the core far away or destroy it right away.
“Black Blood Corps! You are to guard the corridor that leads to this area. Unless I order you to do otherwise, do not let anyone enter!”
Cabourn immediately began to arrange defensive duties.
After giving the dark Magi in the room their orders, the rank 2 dark Magus switched his attention to Leylin, eyes unable to conceal his desire to toy around with him. It looked like he was eyeing a white mouse inside a laboratory.
“Magus Leylin! The Dark Magi Alliance has seen your efforts. I wonder if I can get you to do a little more?”
Caesar, who was standing behind Cabourn, began to snicker. From his point of view, Leylin now held no value, and anyone controlled by his father in this situation would not have a good ending.
“What is it?” Leylin’s face did not change.
“Please die!”
Cabourn grinned strangely, and suddenly made his move! Silver solidified spiritual force unhesitatingly swept through the office, books and bookshelves flying everywhere and turning into dust under the silver light.
The rank 2 Magus, Cabourn, was actually not at all afraid of the contract with the Trial’s Eye and had brazenly raised his hand against Leylin!
Silver solidified spiritual force transformed into strange, huge bony claws, and bright red blood seemed to drip from the joints!
“You dare threaten me! A rank 1 Magus like you actually dared to threaten me, Cabourn! You even treated Caesar that way! I want to extract your spirit and roast it under White Bone flames for ten thousand years…”
Cabourn roared.
Shua!
Leylin’s expression was solemn as he faced a rank 2 Magus who was going all out against him and in peak condition.
A layer of dense black scales emerged on his body. At the same time, the defensive layer from the Fallen Star Pendant formed on his body, turning into a phantom set of armour. Leylin immediately entered his strongest defensive state.
Weng! Brownish-yellow gravitational spell formation appeared in front of his chest, instantly covering an area of over a hundred meters.
A gravitational power of more than 40 times stronger than normal descended.
As if affected by gravity, the strange white bone claws sunk down a little, their speed also slowing.
“Latent Fireball!” Leylin rapidly chanted incantations, and a huge black fireball emerged, constantly expanding in midair. Two blood-red eyeballs were formed, as well as a blazing tongue that emerged from its mouth.
A huge serpent blazing with black flames hissed as it went forward, mercilessly colliding with the strange white claws.
Rumble!
An immense explosion swept through the office.
“You…” Cabourn was alarmed and immediately swung his arms. A black defensive layer immediately protected the area where the core body of consciousness was.
Next, black and silver-white energy began to extend and wreak havoc in the surroundings.
First the floorboards, then the window ledges, roof…
A giant black mushroom cloud ascended at the place where the two spells had collided and constantly became larger, eventually turning into a large round shape that devoured everything.
The tremendous explosion even caused the battle going on not far away to be silenced. The dark Magi who were manipulating the magical beasts and the light Magi who were defending to the death had all halted, fearfully glancing at the scene at the centre of the headquarters.
By the time everything quietened down, what had been Reynold’s office had been levelled, and the buildings nearby had all disappeared.
Even a few layers of the ground had been shaved off.
The dark Magi who Cabourn had sent to stand guard had all been hit and they were lying around, fresh blood and broken limbs all over the place. If not for their immense power and formidable innate defensive spells, they would most likely be corpses instead of being heavily injured!
Caesar, who was behind Cabourn, was in an even worse state. He had been swept by the immense energy to over a hundred metres away, buried in a pile of ruins. It was unknown whether he was still alive or dead.
Leylin staggered backwards, paling.
Behind him, Number 2 and Number 3 had lost their robes, revealing their firm muscles and the runes branded onto their bodies.
“You…”
Cabourn raised a bony finger and pointed it at Leylin, his expression full of disbelief.
Though he had split his attention to taking care of the core body of consciousness, he had spent 70 – 80% of his power on the white bony claws, and Leylin had actually been able to take it on!
Compared to a few days ago, he was now able to exhibit his full strength! He had not held back at all!
To think that this level of attack had been taken on by Leylin. Had he reached the level of a rank 2 Magus?
Cabourn was speechless.
“Looks like my guess was right! You still have a way to evade the contract made with the Trial’s Eye!”
At one side, Leylin fell back and stared hard at Cabourn.
For him, there was only one Magus, Cabourn, who would be able to threaten him. Everyone else could be disregarded.
Though Leylin and Cabourn had signed the contract with the Trial’s Eye, how could he, who liked to engage in wordplay, actually believe in it?
Chapter 262 – To Inform
To Inform
It wasn’t as if there was no way to undo the contract with the Trial’s Eye. The last time, Thousand Meddling Hands had given Leylin the solution of the Nefarious Filthbird feathers which had destroyed one side of the contract.
What made Leylin more uneasy was that this liquid had come from the hands of Cabourn, this rank 2 Magus!
Though it was impossible to find another solution of the Nefarious Filthbird feathers, for Magi like them, they did have ways to achieve a similar effect.
After all, the people behind Thousand Meddling Hands was the Dark Magi Alliance, which had at least a rank 3 dark Magus in charge!
If Leylin actually believed in that contract, then he must be a fool!
Caesar in front of him was a very good example! He was a Magus of Four Seasons Garden that was highly regarded. The force of the contract on him must be even stricter, and yet he had been able to betray Four Seasons Garden without the slightest hesitation. He must have used some method to break away from the effect of the contract.
Hence, though they had stated in the contract that they would not attack each other, Leylin did not take this to heart.
Just as expected, the rank 2 Magus had outrageously attacked him after obtaining what he’d wanted, not caring about the effects of the contract. This meant that he had destroyed his side of the contract.
Fortunately, Leylin had been wary of this rank 2 Magus from the start and been able to improve his strength after modifying his heart. Only then was he able to take on the attack.
“How… How were you able to retaliate? How are you able to break away from the influence of the contract?”
Cabourn first disregarded his shock at Leylin’s strength, and first asked this question.
The contract with the Trial’s Eye was not something to be made light of, otherwise it would not be used so extensively.
Besides its mortal enemy the Nefarious Filthbird, there were few other ways to deal with this sort of contract.
Even he himself needed guidance and help from the rank 3 Magus in charge of the Dark Magi Alliance and paid a large price to eliminate the limitations of the contract on his end.
The meaning of ‘eliminating the limitations of the contract on his end’ was to remove the effect of the Trial’s Eye on him, while Leylin would still be bound by the contract.
