"Arcane Arts : Immortal Bloodline Demon Form— Adhishesha metamorphosis."

Leylin was standing in the void just a bit away from the observation of the various Morning Star and even one Radiant Moon but they weren't able to find him, this just goes to show how much ability he has in the matter of disguising and concealing himself.

Leylin decided to jump in, as an amazing soul shaking aura emitting from every cell of his body. Leylin used his ultimate form the Immortal Bloodline Demon Form, dense blood red armor appeared on his body as his eye turned dark as abyss threatening to devour the world itself.

Dense darkness roared and a sense of helplessness emerged in the hearts of everyone.

The point mass in Leylin's sea of consciousness started rotating violently, with his and his soul force spurred him on. The four innate spells of the Kemoyin Serpent synchronised with all the other four bloodlines, which produced an amplification that caused a horrifying change.

His point mass buzzed as it shook vigorously, rotating at a high speed. Powerful energy undulations were emitted from it.

The nebula surrounding the point mass exploded as if announcing the entry of an emperor to the world.

*Hisssss!* An immemorial Jörmungandr-like Ancient Serpent appeared in the void as it's presence shook the skies. It opened its unfathomable eyes as a terrifying domain enveloped everyone. All the Morning Star level existence were shocked as they felt an overbearing restrain on their body as they could sense their blood being ripped apart from their body.

The scales of the Adhishesha was extremely exquisite with mesmerizing runic beauty to it, the body of the serpent was extremely gigantic as it's humongous figure reached all the way to the horizon.

*SKREEEE!* And at this moment, the Scarlet Eyes felt a very bad premonition as if he is facing the biggest challenge of his life.

Leylin mildly looked at him and attacked with his tail towards the whole group, the attack whiplashed as a gale formed which rivaled the strength of a Rank 4 Spell. Each and every attack of Leylin in this form, even his slight movement is equivalent to a Rank 4 Spell attack.

The tornado formed from his attack caught everyone off guard but it was obviously not enough to kill them nor did Leylin willed it. Leylin just used this chance to slip passed Scarlet Eye and opened his titanic terrorizing mouth and devoured one of the Star ranked Emberwing race member from the Altan Union.

"You Dare—" Scarlet Eye roared as the giant phoenix's calls sounded out and tremendous, fierce flames formed a blazing phoenix gigantic sharp claws, as it ripped apart through the void and with a shower of lava and fire charged towards Leylin.

However, it was too late! Leylin has already devoured the Emberwing race star rank expert and he opened his mouth again as a dark dense ball appeared and Large amounts of fire clouds formed in the sky, and terrifying bolts of black lightning struck down. The dark clouds covered the skies, blocking the brilliant sun.

The lightning fire came together to block Scarlet Eye attack as Leylin took him to the border of the world, all while the sending a command towards Lita, "Retreat with the elders."

Lita looked in horror and everyone accompanied her, as the gigantic serpent took the flaming Phoenix and left. Throughout Leylin actions they were almost immobilized as their blood ran cold, this was the first time Lita felt the terror of Leylin power and truly understand the gap that exists between them. Her heart was filled with more reverence and respect as she communicated the Elders to not engage any further and retreat immediately.

....

*Swish!* As if it was a deity or a supremely powerful world dominator has been enraged, a world-extinguishing bolt of life-sucking attack and the Phoenix claw shot down from the skies and ripped apart a scar of the borders of the world.

This horrifying black sphere seemed to transcend the limits of time and space, and even the void was subdued under the tip of the Phoenix claws, carrying the might of an apocalypse. This terrifying instrument of destruction appeared before the phoenix.

*Skree!* The phoenix called out, the sound this time filled with sorrow and suffering.

*Ka-cha!* As the dazzling white light formed by the collision dissipated, the Star ranks below noticed that the Phoenix Scarlet Eye had transformed into had suffered a gigantic injury. Feather after flaming feather fell to the ground before bursting into intense flame. Within this fire, the feathers somehow seemed even more magnificent.

Leylin and Scarlet eye were far from being done as they hurled attack after attack towards each other, scars emerged on both bodies as their iconic battle shook the heavens.

Black streak of light which was Leylin and the powerful lava which encircled Scarlet Eye clashed against each other at an impossible to catch speed as sparks formed from their devastating clash.

Two orbs of golden flames appeared in Scarlet Eyes hands, emitting the powerful energy of Fireplume.

"Fire Phoenix Rave!" Berserk energy from Fireplume was amplified by his amazing strength, resulting in a barrage of powerful fire that sliced towards Leylin.

"Four Auspicious Beasts Shields!" Leylin snorted, and countless large shadow shields came into existence. The Dragon, Vermilion, Turtle and Tiger carvings on the shield looked vivid, lifelike, their eyes shooting out vicious glares.

*Clang! Clang!* The blades of fire slammed into the shields, and the result was a piercing noise that sounded like a torrential rain.

*Crackle!* Devilish black flames appeared around Leylin, forming a Adhishesha wreathed in black fire.

The serpent hissed out, and this screech brought with an aura of devilish power.

"Moon Clash Millenium!" Leylin spread opened his mouth like a world devouring snake, gnawing towards the phantom Scarlet Eye with grace.

*Boom*

Scarlet Eye narrowly dodged but he wasn't with injuries as his left wing was almost chopped off.

Leylin hissed, and the large phantom of the Adhishesha glowed menacingly before Scarlet Eye. The two pupils were like giant stars; the ancient, ominous aura causing Scarlet Eye expression to warp

A vicious, berserk aura burst forth from Leylin's body. An heavenly vertical eyes twinkled behind him, forming an unique Morning Star domain. The eye held within it, the powers of destruction and annihilation. A burning dark flame emerged and attacked Scarlet eyes.

*SKREE!* The cries from the tremendous phoenix were unceasing as it fought against the towering attack. The fight had taken them to the boundaries of the Lava World, black spatial rifts opening up all around them as they warred.

"Flaming Undead Aves!"

Scarlet Eye didn't pull any punches as he used this Arcane Art that burns life force for power, putting his life on the line.

With his words, terrifying flames spread throughout the phoenix's body, causing the flying beast to turn into a horrifying bird of flame. At the boundary of the world, space itself was set on fire, distorting under this power.

*Boom!* The fierce firestorm wreaked havoc as it clashed against Leylin attack, even eliminating the spatial turbulence and leaving behind an exceptionally ugly black scar at the border of the world.

Flames flashed, and Scarlet Eye's figure appeared once more. Now, however, his face was filled with fury and his aura was unstable.

He glared at the storm of fire that had burst forth and immediately turned back, his palms opening up a spatial passageway like drawing apart a curtain. He immediately re-entered the Lava World.

"Your Majesty!" The star ranks immediately bowed as they saw Scarlet Eye returning with serious injuries and an ugly expression. This mission was a total failure, not only were they unable to kill the outsider but they actually suffered a loss of an expert and even Scarlet Eye was injured.

All the Dukes were able to retreat without trouble as they were more powerful and with the help of Lita, an enemy star rank killed by Leylin and Scarlet Eye deviated all together they left without any serious problems.

"Let's return!" Scarlet Eye didn't blame anyone because even he was hard pressed by Leylin, although in his last attack he must have caused huge injuries to his opponent but Scarlet Eye is sure that Leylin is far from being over.

...

*Sou!* The light rays dissipated, revealing the appearance of a various handsome good looking men and women. They were a total of four and they were obviously the four Kemoyin Serpent Warlock.

A bright smile on the face of the youngest looking women, and she rushed to bow towards Gilbert. "Duke Gilbert!"

In the next moment, Gilbert, Emma and Adam's mouths were just as wide, their eyeballs almost popping out. "Lita? How's that possible?"

...

A good while later, while Gilbert, Emma and Adam seemed to have accepted Lita's promotion to Morning Star as reality, there was still a shock that could not be concealed in their eyes. Emma and Adam don't have much of an impression towards this young female Warlock but they mildly knew about Leylin. Gilbert has actually met Lita a few times and he was rather supportive of her, who would have thought that this little insignificant girl tailing his student would actually become so ferocious.

"… This is how it happened. I advanced to Morning Star just when Phosphorescence Swamp was about to be breached, and then I fought Azure Mountain King and have the other retreat. The allied forces withdrew, and both sides are restraining themselves. The situation has now stabilised."

Lita gave a brief overview of what she had experienced in the Magus World.

"In that case… That guy, Do you know him?" Emma's eyes were filled with astonishment as she sized up Lita. Compared to her own age, Lita was much too young right now.

"Yes, He is Lord Kilvish. He is also a warlock but he stays rather secluded, I was able to know him through an endeavor. He has helped me a lot though the years and also supported the clan during it's fall. Knowing that a Rank 5 Magus is standing against us, I had no choice but to invite him here so, that he would back us up. He has held his end of the deal and we must held ours." Lita spoke in a cold voice as if probing the responses of the Dukes. The Duke's don't need to trust her, they just have to follow though with Leylin arrangements.

"Is he is Rank 5 Lord?" Adam asked with a shaking voice but Lita didn't answer. She neither accepted nor rejected the notion, in fact she doesn't know herself. Leylin should be a Morning Star but the mysteries of Leylin isn't something she can begin to comprehend.

Gilbert, Emma and Adam exchanged a serious look and did not speak. Instead, the area turned strangely silent.

"You don't need to worry, the deal isn't very impossible to upheld. Lord Kilvish would like to keep a partnership and he has things to take care off just like how Your Graces still have very important things to do in the Lava World!" Lita laughed, not minding the least.

"Yes!" In the end, it was Emma who spoke up. "Lita, you're a Morning Star just like us, so you don't have to call us 'Your Grace'. Just call us by our names…"

"Alright, my Lords!" Lita looked solemn as she began to make guesses. "It is about the firasource stones."

The moment the words left his mouth, Lita noticed the change in Gilbert's and Adams expression, while Emma cried out in alarm.

"You've actually found out!"

"Of course! It's a treasure that can strengthen the soul and even the point mass. Any Morning Star would go crazy over it!" Lita nodded as she admitted.

"So, I would presume Lord Kilvish would like to have a share of firesource stone in our possession." Now, this time it was the strongest First Elder who spoke while touching his beard. He looked like a kindly old man but his face seems to indicate his charm which would have drived numerous women's crazy in his hayday.

"Yes, First Elder. That is exactly what he would like." Lita nodded and answered. The Dukes have gathered up lots of firesource stone, but if Leylin didn't help they would have not only lost the First Elder but would have needed lots of firesource stone to mend and heal their injuries. Leylin has gained a lot of injuries from his fight against Scarlet Eye but he isn't much worried because he has the sentient force of multiple Star ranked individuals he has hunted along with the Emberwing race members he devoured so, after another confirmation by Leylin it was decided that she would use all the firesource stone to level up herself.

After a bit of thinking, All three dukes agreed. It is true that Leylin saved them and more importantly he is extremely strong and they don't want to confront and ire him for a bit of greed. They can also see that Lita would definitely side with him, so they choose even faster.

They transferred the firesource stone from their shares, as well as their knowledge and achievement of the Fireplume which Lita directed to Leylin.

At long last after they were done with transaction and other exchange they started to discuss about their next move as they proposed about the mayhem in the Holy festival.

They had been planning to cause a huge ruckus before leaving this world. They have already set up a plan and are planting to sneak into Tylasus, on the Holy Solar Day.

Holy Solar Day was a very important festival of the Emberwings. During that time, the head would have to make a speech, participate in the feast and whatnot. There were more than enough opportunities to sneak into his residence.
