*Chik Chik…* From within the black smog, a harrowing sound could be heard.
Seconds later, the black smog dispersed and revealed a blackened skeleton which sat quietly before the experiment table.
This turn of events was extremely quick and even Hyder had no time to react.
”Seriously…”
Hyder could only smile wryly and opened his mouth to say something.
*Crack!*
The sound of glass shattering could be heard. As if recalling something, Hyder hurriedly tossed the test-tube in his hands away.
Alas, it was all too late!
A black mist that was crackling with lightning exploded on his hands.
A bright layer of light immediately appeared on Hyder’s robes that repelled the black mist.
After everything had calmed down, Hyder looked at his already blackened left hand and looked extremely resigned.
……
”Hmm?” Leylin, who was recuperating in a hidden location, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a ponderous expression.
”These energy waves… It seems like one of my curses has already activated a reunison effect… Oh! It should be that bloke Manla who is now dead…”
”I’m quite curious about the effects of the hidden mechanism I placed on the curse.” Leylin grinned.
Not only did he place a complex curse on both of them, but he also left behind many concealed mechanisms. The poisonous elements and malice hidden within was enough to let the Magus who was healing them to suffer greatly. If the healer was not careful, he might even lose his life!
Leylin was confident that after witnessing the prowess of his curse, the family behind Jenna would have no choice but to bow their heads down to him.
Even if he was not certain of the unique meditation technique this family possessed, one could easily tell that a Magus who was able to predict the future held an extremely high position!
As such, he had many things that he wanted from that family.
However, Leylin only toyed with the idea for a while before tossing it to the back of his mind. Right now, he was stark naked as he rested his chiselled body in a stone pool.
In the centre of the pool, there was a deep green fluid emitting the scent of plants and an enormous lifeforce which continuously healed Leylin’s injuries.
This was the healing solution that Leylin had brewed before. Not only were many healing potions combined in it, but the Fantasy Water that he procured before in this location was also one of the main ingredients.
Through the translucent liquid, one could see that Leylin’s abdominal injury had now fully recovered, only leaving behind a tiny pink scar which was rapidly fading away.
This speed had already somewhat exceeded Leylin’s expectations.
”No! This isn’t the effect of the healing solution, but the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent…” Light flashed past as Leylin shut both his eyes.
A massive amount of spiritual force turned into tiny threads that filled his body.
Through his observation with the spiritual force, he could distinctly feel that various areas on his body had begun to erupt with a mysterious energy which continued to replenish and heal his injuries.
These energies were dark red in colour with an ancient aura. With its help, Leylin’s body rapidly began to heal.
”Not only this!”
Leylin reached forward with his right hand and clenched his fist tightly.
*Ka-Cha!* A huge explosion sounded in the air, as if something was ripped into shreds.
”I can feel that during my recuperation, the bloodline of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent is slowly strengthening the properties of my body!”
The abyss seen in Leylin’s eyes became even darker.
”This… The second transition of the bloodline, it’s here!”
The severe injuries he sustained seemed to have hastened the progress of the second transition in his body. The Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline in Leylin’s body continuously surged and many mysterious energies began to be released, fusing with Leylin on a more profound level.
[Detected that the Host’s properties are currently being strengthened! A transition in the Giant Kemoyin Serpent is ongoing! The second transition will commence in ten seconds!]
The A.I. Chip’s voice intoned.
*Hisssss…*
A layer of fine black scales covered Leylin’s body in a flash. He had actually unknowingly activated his innate spell.
Under the flicker of the black light, the scales were strengthened. Even Leylin’s eyes had become an amber colour with vertical pupils.
