The Great Magus War
In the dimly lit basement.
A faint red ball of light floated in midair, constantly emitting blood red rays of light, which caused the lighting of the basement to be slightly gloomy, and gave off a horrifying atmosphere.
The previous Grand Knight, Number 1, was lying flat on the enormous white metal experimental table.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelids were constantly moving, as though he was being tortured in his dreams.
Moreover, the black brands on his body seemed to be alive, constantly lengthening and shortening as it wiggled. Moreover, it slowly protruded from his skin, giving off dark red rays of light as he breathed.
“The ancient Branded Swordsman used the magic runes and arrays crafted onto their bodies to enable them to store the world’s natural energy particles into their body. Those particles could also be completely released during critical moments, turning into a terrifying spell! Moreover, the Branded Swordsman’s physical abilities were far beyond the limits of ordinary people, reaching an unfathomable stage because a large amount of energy particles constantly reformed their bodies!”
Currently, it could be said that Leylin was the top person in the south coast regarding the knowledge of the Branded Swordsman.
With a white scalpel and tweezers in his hands, Leylin finally looked at Number 1, who was still unconscious.
“Even though I’m slightly eager to gain instant benefits, I can’t consider it any further!”
Leylin sighed as he said that. He still needed to get numerous results from the experiments conducted on the five Grand Knights using the A.I. Chip in order to gain accurate parameters before he could inscribe the final energy pathways.
However, time was pressing.
The news concerning the war’s imminence had arrived so suddenly that it messed up most of Leylin’s original plans.
Initially, Leylin was certain that he would make the second transition in his bloodline by the time the Branded Swordsman’s experiment succeeded. At that moment, with his increase in power, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to battle against a rank 2 Magus.
A rank 2 Magus was at the level of the principal of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, who possessed great magical powers.
If he could calmly wait and silently accumulate power, Leylin could quickly reach the peak domain that the majority of rank 1 Magi couldn’t reach in their entire lifetime.
However, everything was in ruins due to the dreadful news of the war.
At this moment, all Leylin could do was quicken his research in hopes that by the time the war came, he could produce Branded Swordsmen. He didn’t expect them to have the full might of the ancient Branded Swordsman but possess at least 50-60% of their original power, which would be sufficient to ensure his life during the chaos of the war.
Leylin took a deep breath after he sorted through his thoughts.
At that instant, he completely calmed down, dispelling all distracting thoughts from his mind.
An indifferent light flashed past his eyes as Leylin carved at Number 1’s chest with the assistance of the A.I. chip.
……
“Roar!” An enormous Venom Wyvern, accompanied by a distinct loud cry, dove down from the sky. It abruptly spread its wings when it was a couple of meters above the ground.
*Whoosh!* Enormous green wings covered the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground.
After spreading its wings, the enormous Venom Wyvern’s speed of descent drastically decreased, entering a gliding state. After gliding for a couple of meters in the air, it steadily landed on the Four Seasons Garden’s general headquarters’ landing pad.
*Bang!* The enormous beastial claws collided with the platform. When those sharp claws contacted the floor with such a large amount of momentum, it left several meter-deep markings.
Swish! A Magus who was wearing a white robe embroidered with plants directly jumped off the back of the Venom Wyvern.
“Lord Leylin!”
The surrounding Four Season Garden acolytes hastily went forth to bow to him.
There were two other armoured men that also jumped off from the Venom Wyvern’s back after Leylin disembarked. There were enormous greatswords the size of a door attached on their backs.
“These two are my followers. According to the school’s rules, I’ve the rights to bring two servants to live with me! Register them for me!”
Leylin told one of the acolytes, “You also to feed Hawke, and increase the amount of red bread pigs by two heads. It recently entered a state of binge eating prior to maturity, so it requires a lot of food…….”
“Your wish is our command, lord!” That acolyte deeply bowed as he commanded the rest of the subordinates behind him to start washing and cleaning the Venom Wyvern
The acolyte seemed to have rapidly recorded something down. After a short while, he passed two metal tablets to Number 2 and 3, who were behind Leylin.
