The shadow wore a strange skull mask and struck out at the constantly roaring lightning and thunder.
The repercussions of this fight, caused everything to be turned to dust wherever it landed. And the battlefield slowly expanded, reaching to the location where Leylin was.
“Run!”
Seeing this apocalypse-like scene, Leylin did not think for long, and immediately broke into a run.
On the way, the ground began to split open, and many trestles and stone sculptures fell to the ground. This scene was as if the world was ending.
Leylin ran with lightning-fast speed and his body was constantly covered with the Scales of Kemoyin. At high speed, all that could be seen was a long, black afterimage.
Swish!
Leylin quickly passed through a metal tunnel, and ahead of him was a dead-end. A thick layer of metal had completely sealed this passage.
But Leylin’s expression did not vary in the least; flickering constantly, he rapped at a few points at the wall.
Rumble rumble! Along with a loud noise of a machine, The metal in front of Leylin split open with a deafening mechanical noise, exposing a silver passage.
Written in the ancient Byron language was a sign on one side of the tunnel that read: “Tunnel made for emergency exit, specifically for lab employees!”
Leylin’s blue eyes flashed and, without hesitation, he rushed through this passage.
The silver passage quickly flashed past Leylin.
Immediately, the A.I. Chip’s voice intoned, causing Leylin’s footsteps to halt.
[Discovered hidden compartment. It wasn’t recorded in the map previously. Do you want to continue through that way or not?]
“Hidden compartment? And the map on the spirit altar did not have a record of it? The level of secrecy of this compartment must be very high.”
Leylin glanced at the passage behind him with concern, sprinted forth, and a small door suddenly appeared on the silver wall.
The room behind the door was very narrow. It was a compartment of a few square meters in area and at its center was a very simple and mysterious ancient spell formation.
This spell model was built entirely using a black stone and on its surface were all kinds of symbols which Leylin could not understand. All around this spell model were tall obelisks.
Leaning on one of the obelisks was a corpse.
This corpse was wearing a black gown that was lushly and delicately embroidered. More importantly was that even after such a long time had passed the clothes still had a bright and beautiful luster.
“This definitely was a very important person!” Seeing this corpse, Leylin inwardly exclaimed.
“A.I. Chip, record the patterns on the spell model” Leylin issued an order then he crouched down next to the corpse, and began fumbling about its clothes.
Some miscellaneous items and a torn diary made of parchment paper fell into Leylin’s hands.
[The spell model’s formation and the runes have already been recorded.]
After hearing the A.I. Chip’s intonation, Leylin immediately left the secret compartment. All of these took place in less than 15 seconds of time.
Leylin tapped on another wall of the secret compartment, then he quickly ran away.
And behind him, with a rumbling noise, the secret compartment door closed and a white light was emitted throughout the entire passage. Nobody could tell he had been in there.
……
Rays of bright sunlight shone down.
It was already daytime in the small town, but, because of the old witch’s potion, the populace was in a state of deep sleep.
This situation had already been discovered by the surrounding villagers and the rumors spread about very fast.
Of course, due to the fact that there were limitations in communication and reasons of time, the extent to which these rumors were spread was very small and did not attract the interest of even an acolyte.
Now, the small town gained the reputation of being a ghost town.
At the end of the passage, the oil painting emitted a silvery light. Then this light turned brighter and brighter, and finally revealed the entrance of a passageway.
Whoosh!
From this entrance emerged a black shadow in very sorry shape.
Leylin used his left hand to wipe his cold sweat and turned around to see the passage to the secret plane.
“That was way too dangerous! If not for the defense mechanism that the Magi of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect set up for in case the Gargamel lost control, I wouldn’t have been able to get away…”
To say that the Gargamel was very powerful was not a lie; the current Leylin was definitely not its match.
The being formed from the gathering of evil souls were simply insane. They were known for their temperamental nature, and Leylin wanted nothing to do with such terrifying and dangerous entities.
“Latent Fireball!”
After looking at the entrance to the secret plane, a flash of determination passed through his eyes and he threw black fireballs at the entrance, thoroughly destroying it.
Although there were many good things inside this secret plane, but when compared to his own insignificant life, Leylin certainly knew which he would prefer.
And compared with the fact that the Gargamel could come out at any time to finish him off, the other items inside the secret plane at once became dispensable.
Leylin looked at the surroundings and after removing all traces of his having been here, he departed from this place without looking back.
And if the entrance was not destroyed, then the Gargamel could come out from within the secret plane.
Leylin estimated that, with the strange and savage power of the Gargamel, it could immediately find the weak point of the secret plane and tear it apart and escape!
But by that time, Leylin would be a long distance away. What did this have to do with him?
Furthermore, in the entire Magus world of the south coast, Leylin was not the only Magus around. For instance, the head of the Night Lighthouse that he had met earlier was more than capable of suppressing this Gargamel!
Chapter 187 – Emergency Situation
Emergency Situation
The speed at which Leylin escaped was extremely quick, and after just half a day, the tall, thick walls of the Nightless City were within sight.
At this point, his right hand had already completely healed. The frightening vitality of a Warlock was proving its worth.
Only after entering the Nightless City did Leylin breathe a huge sigh of relief.
The Gargamel was the result of the concentration of evil intentions by the Ancient Spirit Slayer Sect. Although it was unknown why that Gargamel had been sealed there by the Magi of the sect, based on the calculations from the battle with it, Leylin could say that this monster’s strength was equivalent to that of a rank 2 Magus!
Although Leylin couldn’t hold his own against it, there were a couple rank 2 Magi in the south coast that could. At the very least, the leaders of large scale Magus organisations and powers definitely had at least this level of power.
At that moment, within the Nightless City, the trading centre of the south coast, there were quite a few Magi with this kind of strength.
Leylin was sure that if the Gargamel were to chase after him, the Nightless City was sure to have the means to stop it!
However, he had another plan in mind.
The old witch was trapped in the secret plane together with that terrifying culmination of evil. From the looks of it, her chances of survival were meagre.
However, it was a fact that she held the position of elder in the dark Magus organisation that Leylin was affiliated with—Thousand Meddling Hands. Her status was obviously higher than that of an average member, and she was also able to contact the hidden rank 2 Magus heading the group!
With her death, there would be loose ends that needed to be tied up.
If possible, Leylin would obviously want to take possession of everything the old witch owned.
In a light Magus organisation, this would naturally be impossible. However, in the case of Thousand Meddling Leaves, as long as he revealed a bit of his might, it would be enough to subdue the ambitious Magi who wished to take over this position.
“Hello? Is this Leylin?”
At this moment, a secret imprint that resembled a four-coloured ring emerged from Leylin’s waist. A man’s voice was transmitted from it.
“Hello, Lord Decarte!”
Leylin could make out the owner of this imprint. It was the head of the Potioneering team, Decarte! His tone naturally became respectful.
Previously, all of the missions that Decarte needed Leylin to complete had been issued to him by Leylin’s current leader, Martin
“Ugh, the secret imprint seemed to have had some sort of interference, and I couldn’t contact you at all. Did you go somewhere far away?”
Decarte’s questions were transmitted to him from the secret imprint.
“Yes. I’d accepted a friend’s invitation to explore a small ruin…” Leylin’s answer was half true.
