His expression was strange as he watched Marb, who was completely bound by the shadow tendrils.
Next, he raised his arm, and then clenched his fist!
*Boom!*
……
”Is it over?”
The female Magus from before had escaped far, far away due to her fear of the aftershocks from the battle. Only after it ended did she dare to return while cowering.
It was not that she did not want to escape, but if Marb was the one who won, it would be impossible for her to escape with her current speed. Hence, it would be better to take the chance and return. If Leylin and Marb were able to heavily injure each other, she could render some assistance too! This would ultimately benefit her!
“Or perhaps… the two of them perished together? If that’s the case, all their possessions will belong to me! Hahaha…”
At the thought of picking up loot from two mighty people, the female Magus began to laugh aloud a little neurotically.
“My apologies, but you’ll have to be disappointed!”
Next, Leylin’s voice was heard and the female Magus’ maniacal laughter suddenly stopped like a duck who had its throat gripped.
“It’s you! That Leylin who caused me to be chased after…”
The female Magus commented lightly, but quickly changed her words, “Oh! No, I mean Magus Leylin!”
As he watched this female Magus, who seemed to be much too comfortable in this situation, Leylin shook his head and had no intentions of chatting with her.
“Hunting zones are still quite dangerous. If you want to gather resources, it’s better to head to the other zones.”
Leylin turned and left after he spoke.
“Hey! Wait! Where’s that Magus called Marb? Did you chase him away?” Only now did the female Magus react.
With the fear from before still lingering in her heart, she looked around as if afraid that Marb would appear at any moment.
“Marb? He’s right here!”
Leylin waved, showing her the huge lump of metal in his hand.
“Hm?” The female Magus gazed at the item in Leylin’s hand with astonishment.
That was a large piece of silver, metallic ore. At the beginning, she had assumed Leylin had found some materials and ignored it.
……
However, upon closer inspection, there were a few strange depressions and protruding areas on the surface, like a… human face?!
After comparing the eyes and nose, the female Magus fell back three steps, “It’s Marb! You killed him?”
Such an unusual reaction actually threw Leylin off.
”He’s a dark Magus. As a Magus from the hunting team, isn’t it normal to kill him?”
“Were…. were you dropped on the head as a child? I- no! What!”
Too confused, she began to stutter.
“That’s a peak rank 1 Magus! Peak! No matter where you go, someone with that level of strength is definitely of a high status and has an extraordinary battle power. It wouldn’t take more than one attack from him to kill off newly-advanced Magi! And you… you actually…”
She peeked at the piece of metal in Leylin’s hand in disbelief, fear apparent while she glanced at Leylin.
Leylin smiled nonchalantly.
In the south coast, rank 2 Magus usually did not make themselves known. Hence, peak rank 1 Magi were the strongest powers out there.
Now, a rank 1 Magus at his peak who was considered the strongest out there, had died by his hand! If news of this travelled out, it would definitely cause a huge stir.
If this was the Leylin from before, he might even try his utmost to conceal this mater.
However, after his second bloodline transition and the sharp increase in his power, things had changed!
This was an unrivalled confidence in himself! So what if news of his battle achievements was circulated? With his current strength, it was enough for him to take care of himself and cause anyone who had designs on him to suffer miserably!
”Awoooo!”
At this moment, a huge Venom Wyvern circled the area briefly and then descended.
It roared loudly and then used its huge head and nuzzled Leylin, trying to get a good response from him.
“This is… is this that legendary Venom Wyvern? How valiant, I like it…”
Her eyes shone like stars, “Handsome! Can you give me a ride?”
Leylin shot her a glance.
To be honest, this female Magus did not look half bad, especially in terms of her figure. In addition, she had not mended her clothes that had been damaged while she was fleeing, thus revealing a whole lot of skin.
Ordinarily, and in a situation where he had time to spare, Leylin was not against playing around with her.
But this was the secret plane! He was still being pressured by both the dark and light Magi factions. It would be a wonder if he was in the mood for this sort of thing.
“Boring!”
Leylin indifferent uttered a word and then jumped onto the back of the Venom Wyvern.
“Awoo…” The Venom Wyvern bellowed at the female Magus as if trying to demonstrate its power and spread its wings, flying off.
“Tsk! Such a petty man! It’s not as if I’ll die without you around!”
