Warlock of the Magus World (Chapter 151-Chapter 300)

Bringing forward a vulcanised test-tube that was covered in runes with his left hand, he tossed the black snake within and plugged the hole.

The runes flashed and sealed the test-tube tightly. Only after looking at this scene did Hyder allow himself a sigh of relief.

”Mister Hyder, is it a success?”

The old lady stepped forward and was extremely excited as she saw that the cursed runes on Manla’s arm had completely vanished.

”Of course! It is done, I have not disgraced my art!” Hyder smiled in an aloof manner.

He had no confidence prior to his attempts to remove this curse. However, in the period of his experiments, this curse had allowed him to greatly improve his Potioneering and healing skills.

”Great! As I was saying, how can we bow down to that dark Magus?”

”Fate is forever on our side!” A light of reverence appeared on the old lady’s face, as if the sun had shone on her.

Hyder, who could not withstand this light, closed his eyes and retreated a few steps.

Pa!

At this moment, a very crisp clap sounded from Manla’s body and a mysterious black gas once again appeared.

”What is happening?” The old witch was now like a duck which had its neck grasped, her voice hoarse as she asked.

”Damn it, a second curse! It’s actually a model composed of a combination of curses!!!”

Regret and shame now flashed across Hyder’s face.

At the same time, a huge amount of black gas formed into many tiny black snakes as the dense smog engulfed Manla within.

Chik Chik… From within the black smog, a harrowing sound could be heard.

Seconds later, the black smog dispersed and revealed a blackened skeleton which sat quietly before the experiment table.

This turn of events was extremely quick and even Hyder had no time to react.

”Seriously…”

Hyder could only smile wryly and opened his mouth to say something.

Crack!

The sound of glass shattering could be heard. As if recalling something, Hyder hurriedly tossed the test-tube in his hands away.

Alas, it was all too late!

A black mist that was crackling with lightning exploded on his hands.

A bright layer of light immediately appeared on Hyder’s robes that repelled the black mist.

After everything had calmed down, Hyder looked at his already blackened left hand and looked extremely resigned.

……



”Hmm?” Leylin, who was recuperating in a hidden location, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a ponderous expression.

”These energy waves… It seems like one of my curses has already activated a reunison effect… Oh! It should be that bloke Manla who is now dead…”

”I’m quite curious about the effects of the hidden mechanism I placed on the curse.” Leylin grinned.

Not only did he place a complex curse on both of them, but he also left behind many concealed mechanisms. The poisonous elements and malice hidden within was enough to let the Magus who was healing them to suffer greatly. If the healer was not careful, he might even lose his life!

Leylin was confident that after witnessing the prowess of his curse, the family behind Jenna would have no choice but to bow their heads down to him.

Even if he was not certain of the unique meditation technique this family possessed, one could easily tell that a Magus who was able to predict the future held an extremely high position!

As such, he had many things that he wanted from that family.

However, Leylin only toyed with the idea for a while before tossing it to the back of his mind. Right now, he was stark naked as he rested his chiselled body in a stone pool.

In the centre of the pool, there was a deep green fluid emitting the scent of plants and an enormous lifeforce which continuously healed Leylin’s injuries.

This was the healing solution that Leylin had brewed before. Not only were many healing potions combined in it, but the Fantasy Water that he procured before in this location was also one of the main ingredients.

Through the translucent liquid, one could see that Leylin’s abdominal injury had now fully recovered, only leaving behind a tiny pink scar which was rapidly fading away.

This speed had already somewhat exceeded Leylin’s expectations.

”No! This isn’t the effect of the healing solution, but the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent…” Light flashed past as Leylin shut both his eyes.

A massive amount of spiritual force turned into tiny threads that filled his body.

Through his observation with the spiritual force, he could distinctly feel that various areas on his body had begun to erupt with a mysterious energy which continued to replenish and heal his injuries.

These energies were dark red in colour with an ancient aura. With its help, Leylin’s body rapidly began to heal.

”Not only this!”

Leylin reached forward with his right hand and clenched his fist tightly.

Ka-Cha! A huge explosion sounded in the air, as if something was ripped into shreds.



”I can feel that during my recuperation, the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent is slowly strengthening the properties of my body!”



The abyss seen in Leylin’s eyes became even darker.



”This… The second transition of the bloodline, it’s here!”

The severe injuries he sustained seemed to have hastened the progress of the second transition in his body. The Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in Leylin’s body continuously surged and many mysterious energies began to be released, fusing with Leylin on a more profound level.



[Detected that the Host’s properties are currently being strengthened! A transition in the Giant Kemoyin Serpent is ongoing! The second transition will commence in ten seconds!]

The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.

Hisssss…

A layer of fine black scales covered Leylin’s body in a flash. He had actually unknowingly activated his innate spell.

Under the flicker of the black light, the scales were strengthened. Even Leylin’s eyes had become an amber colour with vertical pupils.





Chapter 227 – Transition


Transition

“Number 2! Number 3!”

Leylin shouted.

“Master!” Two Branded Swordsmen wearing heavy armour immediately came and knelt down in front of Leylin.

“I’m activating all concealment and defence spell formations. You are to stand guard outside and not let any living being come inside.”

Leylin instructed. The two spirit-branded slaves nodded, keeping a strict vigil outside.

These two Branded Swordsmen were controlled by Leylin through spirit branding. Even if asked to die, they would do so with no qualms and were the best people to guard Leylin.

[Counting down: 8, 7, 6…] The A.I. Chip’s voice became softer.

All that Leylin needed to do now was to snap his fingers, and a ring of a spell formation suddenly emerged from his surroundings, protecting the area.

After doing all this, Leylin closed his eyes and submerged himself in the green liquid.

……

Time flowed by.

Ten days later, in this little cave, in the middle of the spell formation, dense Dark elemental energy particles were mixed with flaming-red Fire elemental energy particles and they filled the entire pool.

These elemental energy particles were so dense that they were immediately apparent in the external world; different colours were visible on the rock wall around him due to the reflection of light on these elemental particles.

At the heart of the elemental energy particles, black and red vapour converged, seemingly about to crystallize.

In the pool, the original green liquid had completely disappeared, revealing a dried up bottom.

A large black cocoon lay still at the centre of the bottom of the pool, constantly expanding and then shrinking back, just as if it was breathing.

While the black cocoon was ‘breathing’, the Dark and Fire elemental energy particles were continuously being pulled inside it with each ‘inhalation’.

The black light became increasingly thin, till at the end, the hint of a perfect human figure could be seen.

”Tsss!”

A long hissing sound was produced from within the cocoon.

Shortly after, a huge gale engulfed the cave.

The Dark and Fire elemental energy particles in the air seemed to have come across a black hole, and were dragged into the heart of the black cocoon.

The black light around the cocoon became weaker, and then completely dissipated.

“Hm?” Leylin blinked his eyes open.

The moment he had completely awakened, he could feel as if there was a layer of something sticky on his body, and it was very uncomfortable.

He lifted his right arm, and a layer of skin that was the colour of his skin peeled off like withered tree bark.

”What’s this? Is this like imitating the molting of the snake species?”

Leylin was a little speechless and quickly tore off the dead skin.

Ka-cha! Ka-cha!

He efficiently removed the layer of dead skin covering his body. On the layer of the dead skin, there were even scaly resemblances similar to that of a snake’s skin.
