Chapter 117 True Or False
Upon seeing the sight of Bosain collapsed on the ground, Leylin did not feel any pleasure.
“You were a worthy opponent — your strength, your equipment, and even your cunning are highly admirable and hard to overcome! Concealing my strength, draining the energy of your magic artifact and making you use all of your trump cards — if I had not done all these, today’s victor could certainly have been reversed…”
These were sincere words from Leylin.
If he hadn’t disguised himself as a pig but one that could eat a tiger and saw that Bosain had drained the energy of his magic artifact “Silver Light” and also the opportunities that made Bosain reveal his trump cards, the outcome of the battle between Leylin and Bosain would have been rewritten.
But ultimately, Bosain was killed at the hands of Leylin. Even his death could not be decided by himself.
This time’s affair caused Leylin to understand this fact.
In the Magus World, there were innumerable geniuses and even more trump cards. In the future, unless necessary, it was better if he kept a low profile.
Moreover, every one more trump card one has is equivalent to a little more odds of survival.
“You will certainly be found by my father; you will die an unbearable and miserable death…” As Bosain was speaking, his eyes suddenly bulged.
*Pu!* A bright silvery flash occurred as Leylin’s arms moved, and Bosain’s tongue was cut off!
“As far as acolytes are concerned, so long as they can chant incantations, they are dangerous…”
Leylin, unenthusiastically looking at Bosain who was on the verge of fainting, said, “As I was saying, even though your spiritual force and magic power has all been consumed, I must not let down my guard!”
“Bind!”
Leylin chanted an incantation and immediately summoned a shadow chain and bound Bosain who had lost his four limbs.
Bosain looked at Leylin who could still cast spells, and his eyes dimmed.
The fact that Leylin could still cast spells meant that his spiritual force and magic power was above that of Bosain, yet Bosain already had the spiritual force criteria to advance into an official Magus!
“Just one safety lock isn’t enough!”
Leylin frowned and placed the tip of his long, pure white finger on Bosain’s forehead and pressed.
*Weng!*
A mysterious writhing rune was formed at Leylin’s fingertip. It coursed through Bosain’s body and entered the forehead area.
Bosain’s eyes flashed white and his body spasmed, before fainting.
“Alright now!”
Leylin stood up and patted his hands, his eyes showing an unspeakable amount of desire.
“Right now, there only thing left is the inheritance of the great Magus Serholm!”
The light from the Fallen Star Pendant had always covered Leylin’s body. With a face full of wariness, he crossed over many fallen shelves and came to the centre where the study desk was.
On the study desk, there was a black box. On it was a few thin patterns, as if formed by little snakes.
“Adjust the Fallen Star Pendant’s form and change focus area: right hand!”
Along with Leylin’s command, the grey light on his body flickered and the other areas apart from the right hand dimmed. It all gathered on the fight hand, forming a thick armour.
Leylin gritted his teeth and reached out his right hand to open the black box.
*Pa!* The lid of the black box was opened. However it exceeded Leylin’s expectations and nothing happened.
In the box was a thick, black book. As for the other empty areas in the box, it was filled with a type of red silk, looking extravagant.
Leylin picked up the book. *Ka-Cha!* A mechanical sound reverberated throughout the room.
“Damn it!”
Leylin looked at the bottom of the interior of the box after taking the book and was somewhat stupefied.
At the bottom, where after the black book was removed, a Byron language sentence was written in cursive font. “Inheritor! When you take away this ‘Book of Giant Serpent’, the whole secret plane will self-destruct within 3 hourglasses worth of time.”
This row of words was written in blood and seemed extremely striking.
“What exactly was this great Magus Serholm trying to do?”
Leylin’s thoughts rapidly spun. The 3 hourglasses worth of time was enough for him to find an exit and even farm some of the flowers in the garden before leaving.
“No! Not right. Too easy! There’s something wrong!”
Leylin hurriedly flipped open the Book of Giant Serpent.
“A.I. Chip! Record information!”
The whole book was extremely thick and was written in tiny characters. It was even written in code. If it was any other person, he would most likely not be able to even finish reading the preface of the book before the time of 3 hourglasses was up.
However, Leylin was different. He flipped through the Book of Giant Serpent in a frenzy. In his eyes a blue light surfaced, and the A.I. Chip continuously recorded the information.
