Chapter 227 Transition
“Number 2! Number 3!”
Leylin shouted.
“Master!” Two Branded Swordsmen wearing heavy armour immediately came and knelt down in front of Leylin.
“I’m activating all concealment and defence spell formations. You are to stand guard outside and not let any living being come inside.”
Leylin instructed. The two spirit-branded slaves nodded, keeping a strict vigil outside.
These two Branded Swordsmen were controlled by Leylin through spirit branding. Even if asked to die, they would do so with no qualms and were the best people to guard Leylin.
[Counting down: 8, 7, 6…] The A.I. Chip’s voice became softer.
All that Leylin needed to do now was to snap his fingers, and a ring of a spell formation suddenly emerged from his surroundings, protecting the area.
After doing all this, Leylin closed his eyes and submerged himself in the green liquid.
……
Time flowed by.
Ten days later, in this little cave, in the middle of the spell formation, dense Dark elemental energy particles were mixed with flaming-red Fire elemental energy particles and they filled the entire pool.
These elemental energy particles were so dense that they were immediately apparent in the external world; different colours were visible on the rock wall around him due to the reflection of light on these elemental particles.
At the heart of the elemental energy particles, black and red vapour converged, seemingly about to crystallize.
In the pool, the original green liquid had completely disappeared, revealing a dried up bottom.
A large black cocoon lay still at the centre of the bottom of the pool, constantly expanding and then shrinking back, just as if it was breathing.
While the black cocoon was ‘breathing’, the Dark and Fire elemental energy particles were continuously being pulled inside it with each ‘inhalation’.
The black light became increasingly thin, till at the end, the hint of a perfect human figure could be seen.
”Tsss!”
A long hissing sound was produced from within the cocoon.
Shortly after, a huge gale engulfed the cave.
The Dark and Fire elemental energy particles in the air seemed to have come across a black hole, and were dragged into the heart of the black cocoon.
The black light around the cocoon became weaker, and then completely dissipated.
“Hm?” Leylin blinked his eyes open.
The moment he had completely awakened, he could feel as if there was a layer of something sticky on his body, and it was very uncomfortable.
He lifted his right arm, and a layer of skin that was the colour of his skin peeled off like withered tree bark.
”What’s this? Is this like imitating the molting of the snake species?”
Leylin was a little speechless and quickly tore off the dead skin.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!*
He efficiently removed the layer of dead skin covering his body. On the layer of the dead skin, there were even scaly resemblances similar to that of a snake’s skin.
Leylin placed the skin aside and reassessed his body.
Currently, there were no signs of injuries on his body. All his wounds had recovered, and his mental state was brimming with vitality. In general, his condition was great and better than before.
Leylin stared at his hands.
His palms were now even whiter and exquisite, and the pores seemed to have disappeared — it was like the skin of a newborn baby!
However, Leylin could clearly sense that a hidden and monstrous power was flowing through his arms..
*Ba-dump! Ba-dump!*
His heart was pounding strongly, circulating blood and other nutritious substances all around his body. While his heart beat, Leylin could almost feel his body becoming stronger bit by bit.
Though this was very slight, with the passing of time, the strength held in his body would be terrifying!
“My body’s vitality has already become so powerful, but what about my spiritual force?”
Leylin closed his eyes and began to feel the elemental energy particles in his sea of consciousness.
In the sea of consciousness, the red rays were even more prominent, and the silvery-white threads of spiritual force were spiralling, seemingly very steady.
“The total amount of spiritual force actually increased so much?”
Leylin transferred a bit of the silver spiritual force to the external world.
While maneuvering the spiritual force, he could feel himself extremely comfortable with this process. His body had adapted to the rapid increase in his spiritual force, and Leylin also knew that after this miraculous transformation, his spiritual force was slightly able to solidify. Within rank 1 Magi, the quality of his spiritual force was definitely one of the best.
After he had made a thread of silver spiritual force probe out of his body, an astonishing scene appeared.
Blackness! Numerous black lights appeared in the sky like fireflies, rushing towards Leylin’s spiritual force and clinging onto it.
Leylin had never felt so comfortable in his life.
