….
“Though this is just a small-scaled garden, it seems to have been well taken care of. It’s such a waste that it was abandoned…”
Lancey constantly swept her eyes over the garden, Looking at all the plants of the garden.
“The Three Horned Flower, Spirit Breaking Grass, as well as the Half Bodied Bat, Upside Down Lizard– These four are the main cultivators of this garden!
“The Three Horned Flower pollinates with the help of Half Bodied Bat, and the excretion from the Inverted Lizard is the best fertilizer for the Spirit Breaking Grass! In the middle of the region where the Three Horned Flower and Spirit Breaking Grass are located, there also seems to be a Star Fruit. This is what the Half Bodied Bat and Inverted Lizard feed on!
‘With this I can prepare Spirit Fusion Potion which has the ability to to boost fusion between different spirits by a large margin, producing a new consciousness from a fused body and able to eliminate confusion between spirits while fusing and stabilise the new spirit body or Wolfiporia Potion which is able to boost the power of the spirit by a large margin but Spirit’s consciousness will be expelled to a certain extent.
“Oooh…”
Just when Lancy was about to explore further, a low and hoarse voice sounded, and an enormous and warped figure appeared in the line of her sight.
It was a huge monster that was about 10 metres tall.
There were numerous frightful wounds that were sewn together, and it looked to be the result of putting different body parts together.
This stitched up monster’s right hand was twisted in a weird shape and had eight fingers. In the palm of its left hand was a large axe that was dotted with rust.
Other than the two large arms, there were many slim arms grown on its upper body and back which were continuously trembling.
“What a ugly thing you are, Loathsome evil! ”
The Loathsome Evil was a creature that is seen in ancient books. It was a type of life form that had been created by Magi.
Its exact origin was unknown, but in ancient books, the Loathsome Evil had been described as a fiend.
This type of lifeform had an exceedingly powerful body and vitality. What was even more frightening was the spirit pollution constantly emanating from its body.
Ordinary people were simply unable to withstand the pollution caused to their spirits and usually died en masse.
As a result, the appearance of a Loathsome Evil generally marked the destruction of cities and the loss of countless lives.
The most frightening record had been when an entire army of over a hundred Loathsome Evils appeared!
This terrifying army had destroyed two ancient Magi’s headquarters and caused the deaths of approximately twenty percent or more of the population of the south coast.
Ultimately, only with the aid from an unknown ancient Morning Star Magus was that terrible army completely destroyed.
At this moment, the Loathsome Evil that had been wandering around noticed Lancy.
Through its eyes, one of which was big and the other small, its thirst for blood was self-evident. Even its huge, bloated body was trembling in excitement.
A light green haze permeated the entire garden.
“Spirit pollution. Unfortunately, you are far from being my match”
“Kemoyin’s Scales!”
Suddenly Lancy face morphed into a distinct visage of a male and eventually settled to the devilishly Handsome Leylin and even her body disfigured to finally revel Leylin’s perfectly toned physique.
With a single thought, a fine layer of scales covered his body. The scales were jet-black and densely packed as they crept up Leylin’s arms and even his face.
Under the protection of the scales, Leylin’s current appearance was vastly different. There was even a hint of amber light in his eyes.
These scales did not give him a fiendish image, but there was a sense of elegance to his appearance and a regal savagery that only enhanced his disposition.
Leylin has taken Lancy place in her stead to come here, he knows about the sacrificial ritual that the Old Devil is going to conduct as well as the awakening of Gargamel.
With his immense wealth he has bought a lot of expensive techniques and methods to camouflage his presence, with the reading and memories from A.I.Chip, even Lancy herself will be confused at his ability to pretend to be her.
The reason why Leylin hid was because of his intent to not spook the Old Devil. Everything has an order in which they must be done, This is in the end, a place of dwelling for higher level Magi than Leylin and he is not stupid enough to trap himself in one of their setups, also Leylin wants to squeeze as much as he can from this place.
After activating his innate defense spell, Leylin stroked his ring but didn’t activate it yet.
Although he is sure that he can dispose of this monstrosity, Leylin was still cautious when dealing with this fearsome Spirit Pollution. Not only had he activated his innate defense spell, he is even ready to use his trump card at a moments notice.
The might of an ancient Loathsome Evil surpass that of a rank 1 Magus and Leylin wasn’t willing to risk anything—harm done to one’s spirit was much more difficult to treat than flesh wounds!
“Shadow Wrap”
Leylin muttered an incantation and spread both of his hands, releasing a flurry of spiritual force. He commanded the Darkness element to form a transparent black shield.
This is one of his spells he has created, this make use of Darkness element to form a Shield, with great defensive strength. Although he can use other spells to effectively escape the Spirit pollution, he still didn’t underestimated it’s deadliness. All it takes sometimes is a well placed spell, on a unguarded advisory and all is over.
*Chik Chik!*
The moment Leylin’s outermost ebony layer of protection came into contact with the haze, the sound of an object being corroded could be heard. Within a few seconds, it was thoroughly ravaged but still hold on.
“It wasn’t able to break my defences, but to think that this was the effect of the spirit pollution!”
Leylin trained his eye on the Loathsome Evil that was gradually approaching, there was no fear in his expression. Leylin is a precautionary guy but he still trusts his strength and ability. If he doesn’t even trust himself then what is he even doing walking this path!
“Roarr!”
Two thick arms suddenly grew from its back and touched the ground, supporting the Loathsome Evil.
With a burst of power, the Loathsome Evil’s speed rapidly increased, and it dashed towards Leylin, slashing at his waist with the axe in his left hand!
Before that massive power reached him, the air in the atmosphere seemed to be compressed into crystals that hurtled towards Leylin!
Leylin calmly saw it’s amazing speed and pushed his foot on the floor, immediately disappearing from the attack range.
He reappeared behind the Loathsome evil, this was a great showing of his amazing dexterity and speed. He spread his right hand in it’s direction.
“Latent Fireball!”
*Boom!*
Along with the syllables that flew out of Leylin’s mouth, a large number of black fireballs suddenly appeared around the Loathsome Evil’s figure.
These fireballs quickly merged into a single mass, its volume expanding to twenty times the usual size, and exploded in front of the Loathsome Evil.
Black flames engulfed the Loathsome Evil, and many of its slim arms were broken off from the explosion. it’s whole body was burning and it’s skin was melting down, it was hauling like a crazed beast and trashing around but slowly it’s screaming stopped as it laid on the ground unmoving.
Just from a single little black spark landing on the ground, a hole was melted that was so deep, one could not see how far down it went.
[Attacking target in the centre! Power of Latent Fireball: 71. Added bonus from elemental essence conversion: 41. Target’s defense in its front has been destroyed! Received data readings!”
A prompt from the A.I. Chip sounded out.
Out of all the spells Leylin possessed, the Latent Fireball was a magic that was second only to the Eyes of Petrification. Currently, with the added bonus from his elemental essence conversion, its degree of power was a terrifying total of 71!
Even an ancient monster like the Loathsome Evil could only tremble under the might of these flames!
“It’s power is comparable to that of a Magus with a 50% elemental essence conversion. If an army of Loathsome Evils is formed with an even more powerful leader taking charge, it’ll definitely be difficult for Magus organisations to handle it. They would need to escape…”
*Boom!!!*
The black flames burnt through the Loathsome Evil’s belly, and instantly, innumerable spirits escaped out of its stomach.
These spirits’ faces were those of females and males of all ages, and most of these spirits were weirdly shaped. If they didn’t have an extra hand on their faces, there would be an extra three legs on their bodies. Some even had various organs and structures stuck on their bodies and looked extremely similar to the Loathsome Evil.
The similarities between all of these spirits was a lifeless look in their eyes as if they had lost all intelligence.
These spirits mindlessly dithered around the Loathsome Evil and seemed to hardly be afraid of the black flames. They passed through without any trouble.
” It’s a nice trick but sadly you cannot do any fatal damage even if I am caught unprepared, especially now since I know about this move ”
” Shadow Spikes”
Suddenly hundreds of pointy Shadow tentacles erupted from the ground and pierced through the spirit. This tentacles could do real damage you these spirits, since it has spiritual attack capacity too.
With a high pitched cry from the Loathsome Evil, and they were all pierced through.
“You have played possum long enough” Leylin looked at the Loathsome evil, aware that it’s not dead yet.
On the present vengeful spirit Loathsome Evil’s body, the majority of its hands had been cut off and it still had many burnt black patches and within its belly, a large hole had been cut open. This exposed its intestines and other unknown organs.
The veins on its body seemed to be intertwined and protruding out, and they were like cyan snakes that were twisted about each other.
Many of its body flesh and fat had become abnormal because it had been burnt, it slowly tried to crawl but was taking it’s last breath.
Leylin glanced at the Loathsome Evil.
It was now giving vent to its fury on the land surrounding it, he noticed that the body of Loathsome Evil had a strange green tint to it — no, that’s not it all, even the surrounding scenery, land and atmosphere was being polluted by a shining green mist. This green mist was very dense.
*Swish!*
With a flash of a black shadow, Leylin directly appeared in front of the Loathsome Evil.
The Loathsome Evil roared and instantly numerous black fireballs entered the Loathsome Evil’s mouth, causing continuous explosions within its body.
Leylin stared at the Loathsome Evil and with a grunt, the muscles on its arm bulged, expanding a few folds. It instantly made changed from a lean youth to a muscular man.
Leylin’s body was filled with an explosive power at this moment. His right hand suddenly erupted into flames and burnt with fervour.
He raised his hands, and leaped highly and performed a chop attack against the neck of the Loathsome Evil that was still burning with black flames!
*Gurgle! Splat*
The yellowish green pus splattered everywhere. Simultaneously, the enormous head of the Loathsome Evil directly rolled onto the ground.
After losing its head, the Loathsome Evil’s four limbs were still moving. It was as though it was trying to flee, but a purplish red flame started to violently ignite and it instantly burned the Loathsome Evil’s body and head.
Crack! The head of the Loathsome Evil split apart and a group of grotesque-looking spirits appeared.
However, Leylin was already prepared for that as he tossed a pink gemstone into the flames, while constantly chanting.
The unconscious spirits were attracted to the pink crystal. They forgot to self destruct and just surrounded in front of the pink gemstone with their faces expressing reminiscing expression.
Finally, the purplish red flame already changed completely into a pure purple colour. The group of spirits were constantly dissolving, they were melting like heated wax.
At this moment, a lot of the spirits wanted to self-destruct!
“Activate!” Looking at the densely-packed spirits, Leylin’s lips curled up into a smile as he chanted the incantation.
Boom! A red halo lit up from the array, restraining all of the spiritual energy within the flame.
That light ray seemed to restrict the spirits from self-destructing. The spirits within expressed frantic expressions despite them being emotionless existences, and not a single one of them could self-destruct as they did before.
Mournful and piercing screams constantly rang in his ears.
While the purple flames were constantly burning, a strange smell constantly spread, the corpses had long since been burnt to ashes.
On the ground, in the middle of the charred and indented formation, a glistening object caught Leylin’s eye.
“Spirit stones” Leylin smiled
In an instant, a dazzling white light seemed to fill the entire flower garden. In the white light, Leylin looked at tens of thousands of phantom human figures.
The countenances of these phantoms seemed familiar; they were the spirit bodies of earlier, but they had assumed their original form of a human.
The phantoms were both male and female. Some of them were dressed like Magi and acolytes. However, at this moment, they expressed gentle smiles as they slowly faded in the white light.
” Such a fascinating thing a soul is! One might argue that such an experiment is immoral and against common decorum but in this world only might is right. If these people were successful they would have been praised but they failed so they are shunned, they irony is the people who pushed them till extinction are no better themselves, they will do anything to get their hands on such specimen themselves ” Leylin picked up the green coloured spirit crystals littered on the floor, carefully placing them inside a small pouch. He even used a gold thread to seal the pouch, before placing it back in his robes.
The green spirit plague had completely vanished. Many fine cracks that looked like lizards littered the black rock walls at the edge of the garden.
Leylin walked in front of the cracks, and gently knocked on the fractured wall!
*Crash!*
Numerous stones fell, and large clouds of lime were thrown into the air. There was a deep hole in the wall, which was flickering with pitch black light rays.
