Nature's Alliance, North Twilight Zone.

Celine sat behind the huge and luxurious office table and stretched lazily, revealing her perfect curves.

Although doing irksome corrections and office affairs every day was very troublesome, she found the tiring job enjoyable.

It made every cell in her body shiver with excitement — and even made her slightly moist down below — every time she thought about how every word she put to paper, even every sentence she uttered, would make a big difference to the fates of numerous acolytes and even Magi.

"But it is a pity that my position here is not fully secured…." Celine thought as she remember how Dexter, one of the servant under Lancy was named the 'Reinforcement Elder' of the Nature's Alliance and all of the real power and authority was transferred to him. In simpler terms she is just a figurehead without any actual power. Celine was unsatisfied but she couldn't do anything.

"If only.. " Celine face become regretful as she remembered about meeting an even more fearsome existence behind Lancy. He was a handsome and charming man with extremely refined features and a regal presence. After knowing that he is Lancy's superior, Celine made many attempts to attract Leylin attention and seduce him but alas Leylin displayed no reaction to her attempts. Leylin is an individual who only surrounds himself with whom he desires, although Celine is extremely beautiful, since when there is a lack of beautiful women around Leylin. Being pretty is not good enough, sometimes it his mood, sometimes his fancy and sometimes even fluke, even though Leylin may bed her but currently he didn't have time to waste on her.

In these 3 years, Leylin has finally created and perfected the 'Bloodline Knight' path. After his successful results he immediately called Anna as well Grenn, his two oldest subordinates from the RebelHearts headquarters in South Coast and bestowed them with the new technique along with Ivy, Dexter and Freed.

All of them had their bloodline replaced with a new one prepared by Leylin from the Beast World. Each bloodline were their own choice as they tried to find some sort of resonance with it. This procedure was an extremely delicate one as it related to soul itself, without A. I. Chip, even Leylin would be not so sure of his success.

As expected, everyone at the summit of Saint Knight made a successful breakthrough and reach a level equal to Rank 2 Magus, especially Anna whose breakthrough was the fastest and her strength increase was also the most incredible. She has accumulated the most 'blessing' from Leylin in the past and has made gigantic efforts as well.

All the bloodline they have received are very pure, tracing it's root back to the ancient ferocious creatures. In fact all of them has Rank 4 level bloodline but obviously reaching that level is extremely hard. It doesn't only include hard work, resources and talent but luck is also a very important component of this. Even if they cannot reach Rank 4, they have the ability to reach Peak Crystal Rank 3 which is already a very deterrent strength.

Leylin commanded Freed and Grenn to return back to the South Coast and take reigns in their command. The situation in the South Coast is quite calm as the war has concluded just a few years ago. There isn't any unexpected situation because the current situation of the South coast organization is not very great because of the huge casualties of Magi and the whole region is shrouded in a period of recovery. There isn't much struggle for resources even so, no one would ignite any unnecessary conflict.

No one has the leisure to disturb the RebelHearts, Leylin's organization and others only had some mild conflict at Acolytes and low Magus level which occurs rarely. It would take around a hundred years before the South coast began to buzz again but till then Grenn and Freed would have already reached Rank 3 and submitted their control. Even though they cannot use spells like Magi, they have greater fighting prowess and with the bloodline they are able to use Innate Spells.

Leylin gave the position of taking charge in Twilight Zone to Dexter. As of now, Leylin has control over a huge organizations in South coast, He has total reign in Twilight Zone and he also have the Beast World under his control.

Collecting all of these three location and adding up their resources, Leylin could be considered extremely rich. Even some Morning Star Magus would go green in envy knowing about his net worth.

Leylin has left Sheshnaag in charge back in Beast World. Sheshnaag proved to be a very capable subordinate but it needs to grow with time and the best place for it is Beast World. Just recently Sheshnaag has send two Brigadier Stage (Rank 3 Vapour) Beast Tamers to the Twilight Zone to serve Leylin as per his command. These two are one Dynasty general and other Church Order Commander who surrendered to him.

Leylin was able to establish a stable and short route through the teleportation formation with which the relocation of resources is extremely convenient given that one ignores the high prices involved in the process itself.

Along with relocating his subordinates to take charge of various region, Leylin has collected and decided the group he would be taking with him. There are various pros of loyal servant and Leylin is going to make good use of them.

A flame ignited within Leylin's eyes, as well as an even stronger urge to immediately rush towards the central continent.

Immediately, he suppressed the desire and impulse.

"Master, Warlock Kubler is here! " Anna voice travelled as she informed.

"Let him in!"

Kubler got inside and saw Leylin standing aside. He felt terrifying suppression from Leylin and his knees went weak. This feeling is even more terrific than the royals.

"Kubler greets my lord!" he immediately knelt respectfully, looking deferential and awed, as if a wolf that had seen its king.

Leylin had sensed this. He had the feeling that through his bloodline, he could influence this Magus.

This was a terrifying thing.

"Tell me why are you here?" Leylin glanced at Kubler indifferently which immediately made the latter feel a chill in his heart.

"Ac… Actually…" Kubler's did not look good. After which he knelt down before Leylin, and placed his forehead tightly on the ground. He proceeded to explain about his origin as well as how he came here because of offending a higher rank Warlock.

"Lord Leylin! Please accept me as one of your henchmen!" Kubler bowed with submission as he wished to obtain Leylin's protection so as to once again return.

Honestly speaking, from the looks of the central continent Magi, the subterranean world and other areas were all desolate. If not for the fact that he was forced into such circumstances, why would he willingly leave his hometown?

Leylin has already achieved rank 3, and is a Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlock, with a bright future. He would definitely be received well and held in high regards so Kubler wanted to gain refugee in his shadow and since he has offended a Black Horrall Snake Warlock, who has the potential to at most grow to rank 3. The high-ranked officers of the Ouroboros Clan would definitely not side with him.

Having seen Kubler's nervous and hopeful expression, he laughed weakly: "I, Leylin Farlier, accept you as my vassal! I hope you'll be able to abide by the rules of our master-servant contract! The prestige and status of the family of Leylin Farlier…"

"As you wish, Master! From now on, your wish is my command, as witnessed by this drop of blood!"

Kubler's face was solemn. He cut his hand, and smeared the bright red blood with a tinge of yellow on his forehead, kowtowing low.

*Bam!* After he paid his respects, Leylin instantly felt a contracted connection, the bloodline contract. To him, there were few restrictions, but the impact on Kubler was much greater.

Originally, Leylin could only hint at and impact Kubler to a small extent through his high-level bloodline. With the contract having taken effect, that influence was amplified. Even if Leylin were to order Kubler to die, Kubler would probably have to follow the orders!

The Giant Kemoyin Serpent was a species with a snake bloodline, should it meet a snake species of a higher rank, or even the Snake Dowager, the other party could easily butcher it! This is the reason why Leylin decided to breakthrough the restraints of Bloodline Shackles but since he held the Kemoyin Bloodline as the core, it is very easy for him to fool someone like Kubler. Only Morning star Magus would feel any difference in Leylin but even they won't be able to distinguished the reason and it would just be attributed as a slight deviation or mutation due to incomplete inheritance.

"Master, I arrived at this point from the spurting of the lava, this is the map and the site of the volcano!"

After Kubler got up, he immediately passed on a map to Leylin with both hands.

Leylin looked at the map; at the top, there was labelled a curvy path. In the upper region were more detailed lava sites. The only drawback was that there were damages and stains in some areas, which could not be seen clearly. Leylin has already made all the necessary arrangements to leave, his party has two individuals capable of contending against an average Hydro State Magus, there is Lancy with her Rank 3 strength and more importantly the ability to sense and bypass any unusual situation. There is a few at Rank 2 and also there is Leylin who is unmatched in the whole Rank 3 category. If not for the difference one experience and body attributes experienced and brought upon due to Soul force after reaching Rank 4, he would have even content against them so, although he may be able to destroy a Clone of a Rank 4 Magus against the real deal he could only retreat.

"Master, I made use of the dormancy of the volcano to get here. Large amounts of the lava had solidified into pathways to this place. If we are to get out, we must rush to do it before the volcano erupts. If not, large amounts of lava will block the pathways. This conditions will only last a few days. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait for at least a hundred years…

Above us is the main entrance towards the giant volcanic mountain range. Normally, the lava level is so high that it covers the entrance. Only once in a hundred years, during the short dormancy, does it drop down low enough to travel through…" Kubler explained.

"I know!" Leylin's body rose into mid-air, as he released some sort of signal. Immediately all of his subordinates appeared, Kubler was shocked to see them in fact amongst all of the Leylin's servant he is the weakest. Even weaker than Lita.

Afterwards they immediately flied towards the Great Canyon...

Magma roiled around like water in a rough sea, emitting heat waves that swept across, a hint of the incredible power beneath.

A sheet of golden liquid lay at its center, as if a lake within the lake. However, this magnificent sheet could stop Magi in their steps.

Above the lava lay a giant passage, tiny voices sounding from it now and then. The rock around this passage was very hard, and no one knew where it led.

*Swish!* a few silhouette appeared on the shores of the lake. The light dispersed to show a group of Magus, leaded by a handsome man, his long black hair tied up casually and his skin fine and smooth. His handsome face was filled with the dignity of a ruler.

After being immersed in large amounts of lava, the surface of the rock was not composed as it was before. It had become an alloy of metal and crystal.

"We need to make the most of the time we have! If not, we won't be able to make it back to the surface of the earth before the lava engulfs the area!" Kubler's expression looked peculiar. Similarly, he had not thought that having just arrived at this place, he would have to journey back again, "Master it would be very difficult to take so many people with us."

Leylin didn't look at him as he heard his concern, "Since I have decided to bring them then believe me, that I definitely have a way to take them with us. "
