Leylin understood this well.
In addition, since their opponents had tried to kill them, it was alright for Leylin to fight back and even kill one or two Magi from their side. However, if he did not let this matter rest and eradicated them completely, then that would be going against the laws of the subterranean world.
Magi grasped the bigger picture in the Twilight Zone and attempted to unify against the elven empire and darkness creatures. Hence having such internal conflicts were disapproved of within the committee.
Even a rank 2 Magus would find it difficult to deal with this situation, much less Leylin, who had yet to completely recover.
Hence, he had to tempt his opponents to slip-up even more, and then respond while protected by a valid excuse.
“After seeing my strength, I’m sure they must be feeling uneasy!”
Leylin grinned while stroking his chin.
“Besides, the seeds of enmity have been planted. Believing we’re almost equally powerful and considering my status as ‘heavily injured’, paired with the tremendous benefits from the Icy World, I believe they wouldn’t consider trying to settle this with us. Rather, they’ll try to eliminate me as soon as possible!”
Medium-scaled guilds had an ample number of hidden cards. Furthermore, besides the guild leader, they had many powerful Magi that, when they banded together, would cause a great deal of grief even to a peak rank 1 Magus.
Xerxes had not gone all out this time, naturally because he believed in his might.
The next time, he would come out at full strength!
However, this was what Leylin wanted. Their opponent was already at their doorstep, and wanted to eliminate the guild! Under this circumstances, it was reasonable for him to strike back brazenly and destroy the enemy, right?
Besides, the buffering time before this that had happened was enough for Leylin to use the freezing bloodline imprint to regain his full strength.
Once he regained his strength as a rank 2 Warlock, he would be free to wander freely. As long as he did not meet anyone like that old rank 3 freak previously, he would definitely be able to protect himself.
“Next up!” Leylin shifted his gaze to Skrill, who was in the block of ice.
The Spider Man’s eyes were unblinking, and he was only able to display a pleading expression.
Leylin smiled gently and advanced…
When the carriage reached a waterfall, Leylin descended from the carriage with a pale appearance.
Meanwhile, Skrill had already been retrieved from the ice and was now merely unconscious. Celine ordered for him to be imprisoned.
This was obviously Leylin’s plan.
Using a few methods, he found that Skrill did not, in fact, know much about the Icy World. All he knew was that the Dense Fog Forest was drooling over the icy caves, and Leylin’s killing intent died down.
From his perspective, Skrill would make a pretty good subordinate. He was semi-converted, and that was enough to do many things in Twilight Zone.
In addition, he was an able witness. Though Leylin did not believe in this method, this was enough to mitigate some potential troubles.
Though he was unafraid of trouble, he did dislike it. It was not a bad idea to reduce it as much as possible.
Lastly, Nature’s Alliance was much too weak. To complete his grand plan, he would need a few capable subordinates.
Leylin could not really trust Celine.
It wasn’t in fear of her betrayal. This woman was far too intelligent, and after gaining a large amount of power, she might prioritise her own benefits over Leylin’s words.
She might not betray him, but there might be instances where she paid lip service to him, using her position and getting overconfident.
Hence, it was necessary to pull in and control people who would definitely side with him.
In Leylin’s eyes, Nature’s Alliance’s power would expand greatly, and would require his own staff.
If not, it was easy to be hoodwinked.
After seeing the demise of the Dense Fog Forest, he was sure that Skrill would make a sensible decision. After all, dark Magi were also very adept at controlling emotions!
Chapter 339 – Frost Innate Spell
Frost Innate Spell
A few days later, rumours had begun to spread around the Twilight Zone.
The rumours claimed that the guild leader of the Dense Fog Forest longed for the resources held by the Nature’s Alliance and the other small-scale guilds, and had been plotting to absorb them on the sly. There was even news that the Dense Fog Forest wanted to openly rob and murder the guild leader of the Nature’s Alliance!
Even though the assassination was not successful, there were rumours about both Celine and the Nature’s Alliance honorary professor, Leylin, being seriously injured.
These rumours first started spreading within a small circle of Magi, but very soon more people came to know about them. What was stranger about this situation was that the Dense Fog Forest had not sent anyone to refute the rumours, but had instead added fuel to the fire.
The largest propagator would reap the most benefits! Even though medium-scale guilds or even large-scale guilds had done the same, it was rare to see such unfiltered, unsightly tactics like those of the Dense Fog Forest.
Immediately all small-scale guilds of the Eastern Twilight Zone became cautious and distanced themselves from the Nature’s Alliance.
At the narrow valley behind a big waterfall, Nature’s Alliance’s headquarters.
Celine looked inside the laboratory within a large icy mountain that was a short distance away and sighed.
Upon returning to Nature’s Alliance’s, Leylin had practically stayed in the laboratory the entire time.
”I need time to heal! Remember, whatever the matter may be, don’t disturb me!”
That was Leylin’s words then, but the cold icy look within his eyes had caused Celine to be even more fearful.
Obviously, Celine had instructed the release of the rumours within the Twilight Zone as to ensure that the Dense Fog Forest would have some reservations before making their next move.
However, Dense Fog Forest’s silence was not expected, and this made Celine’s heart very heavy.
In these kinds of situations, the natural thing to do would be to first flare up and then to maintain silence.
“I hope Leylin can recover soon!”
Celine’s eyes revealed a sense of worry.
At this point in time, Leylin was the only person she could depend on.
At this moment, within the laboratory that had already transformed into an icy mountain, Leylin seemed to have been leisurely observing his palm.
On his palm that was as white as jade there appeared to be a glowing white layer radiating from it.
“Frost!” Leylin gently recited an ancient spell in the Byron language.
Whoosh!
A cold wind whistled, and many snowflakes rotated on his palm and formed a small frost tornado.
“I can’t believe that after the frost had taken effect, not only has my sea of consciousness fully healed, a power within in my body regarding an ability related to frost energy has also been awakened!”
Leylin casually toyed with the mini frost tornado on his palm, his eyes revealed that he seemed to be distracted.
In his mind, his rejuvenated body had received a set of data from the A.I. Chip.
[Leylin Farlier. Rank 2 Warlock, Bloodline: Giant Kemoyin Serpent. Strength: 21.1, Agility: 14.4, Vitality: 27.9, Spiritual force: 104.3, Magic power: 104 (magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force)] [Beep! A new innate talent has been created within the Host’s body, transferring data]
The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
[Host’s innate spell: Increase in affinity and control of frost energy particles. Reduction by 40 degrees of frost related attacks! Ability to manipulate frost energy in a small area!]
This is similar to having a new innate spell, even though it is only rank 1.
“No! That’s not all!” Leylin immediately ordered the A.I Chip to show his graph on elemental capabilities.
In fact, everyone has an affinity with various element types, only that it is extremely small and almost negligible.
Talented acolytes had affinity with various element types far greater than that of the normal levels, at least 50 times and above, and that was also the Magi world’s official levels.
Originally, Leylin had the most affinity with the darkness element type followed by the fire type, and then the plant type which was such a small amount that it could be ignored. With regards to his affinity with the other elemental types, they were so minute that it could only be represented in decimal points.
