Chapter 10

In a lavish Mansion, Many hardworking people were busy with thier daily lives, There Lord was a carefree easygoing one , so They are Content with their current lives. Many Guard were surrounding the perimeter not allowing any one inside the Mansion.

Inside master bedroom , A young Teenager was laying on the couch and 2 beautiful naked girls were massaging his body ,with a one other girl giving him head massage.

The young Man was, Of course Leylin who has just finished enjoying a session with his Slaves. Leylin looked around and saw that each of his Female slave has become more beautiful.

Every one of his Slave has become more beautiful and strong after being with him, Although the Increase in strength is small. The biggest difference is in ‘Anna’, One time he becomes a little unstable after absorbing big amount of ‘Mysterious Energy’ He used her to stabilize. This has increased her stats pretty good.

In the end, It’s still only his residual energy so no big difference.

‘I think I can even sell my sperm as a tonic … Hahaha’ Leylin thought.

“Jackson has finally made his move?” Leylin eyes shined in a cold light.

Three Months has passed since he settled in Extreme night city, He Visited Bay Canyon and started to buy resources from there. In these days he has mostly Meditated and Stirred the pot. Leylin has Killed lots of mutated Lizards and Jackson’s Half-beast Men and Knights in these times, later masking it as attacks from a ‘Mysterious Entity’.

He has also replicated the withering of woods in Dark Night Woods and Jackson has suffered too much grievances. He will be forming a Squat team soon to take down the Source of Trouble.

After 3 months of persistent Meditation and Killing, he has reached the Bottleneck, but in order to break this bottleneck he needs either energy from a Level 3 Acolyte or a reagent.

Leylin is far stronger than an Average Level 2 Acolyte, but he knows his limits, No one is an idiot here. If he started to act against other Acolyte they will come together to get rid of him.

He has fabricated a lots of details and feed it to the Academy provided Crystal that records the Mission.

Leylin has speed up the process of Destruction in the Forest, forcing Jackson to move fast and start the expenditure, which will result in the death of Many small fries along with the Mankestre, it will be enough for his advancement.

‘We will be setting off today, it means today I am going to reach Level 3 Acolyte’

In reality Jackson was suspicious of Leylin, but seeing his active participation as well as using his personal troops to check Dark Night Woods, He categorized him as a Envoy sent by Royals to Help.

…..

In the morning, Extreme Night City’s gates opened. Through those gates came a squadron of soldiers escorting a party in the middle. The group left the city’s perimeter at a rapid pace.

“I never thought that Viscount Jackson would also set off with us!” Murphy seemed to be very happy. Having a Grand Knight around, left him greatly assured.

Riding beside him, Viscount Jackson wore black-coloured, steel armour with a helmet that covered his entire face.

“How are your preparations?” Leylin found a suitable time and whispered into Murphy’s ears.

“I have concentrated these past 2 days, and can barely use two spell models,” Murphy replied softly.

“That’s good!”

“However, even the Black Iron Guards have been activated? There seem to be two small squadrons, about 20 men!”

“Of course, these are all elite troops of the city!” Murphy said

Dark Night Woods wasn’t that far from the city. After travelling for about half an hour, the group managed to reach the wood’s outskirts.

“Be careful! We have entered the withering domain!” Viscount Jackson roared at the forefront of the group.

Leylin reached into his robes and took out a potion from a leather bag tied around the waist.

In Brey Canyon, he had replenished his ingredients and had made many explosive potions as his ammunition for this expedition.

As the group advanced, the environment began to change.

More and more dried withered plants and trees filled the woods. They let off an aura of death and decay.

“Where are we supposed to go?” Viscount Jackson asked Murphy who was beside him.

“The heart of the woods! Only by reaching the center of this withering region, can my spell exert enough effect!” Murphy had an extremely solemn expression. He withdrew a spectacle-like item and hung it on his nose.

A wide withered tree lay on the ground. It had an extremely spongy feel when stepped on.

[Warning! Warning! Dangerous organism ahead!] The A.I. Chip’s alarm went off suddenly and Leylin smiled internally.

* Hu! * Suddenly brown-coloured branches and twigs flew up. A black figure came charging towards them.

This figure was extremely quick. It opened its jaw littered with snow white fangs. A red-coloured tongue flicked out.

* Su Su! * The tongue coiled around one of the guards on duty at the front and retracted its tongue. * Pa! * The guard’s spear fell.

“Be careful!” At this moment, Viscount Jackson gave a warning.

“Argh!” The miserable cries sounded. The guard, trapped in the tongue’s coils had already disappeared into a black hole. He was snapped into two halves. Fresh red blood and guts spilled onto the ground.

“Damn it!” Viscount Jackson shouted angrily and brandished the wide sword that hung from his waist. He immediately went and engaged the black figure.

“Sluggish Spell!” The red-haired shop owner waved his hands. A yellow-green light was shot. It turned into a circular ring that closed on the black figure. The other acolytes began reacting and started their own incantations.

* Sssii! * With the hissing of the creature, the black figure’s speed finally slowed down revealing its appearance to everyone.

Its body was clay-yellow in colour. It had four legs, a tongue that was like a snake’s and a small horn on its forehead.

”

However, as the Sluggish Spell took effect, this strange lizard’s speed obviously took a hit. After a brief exchange of blows, the Viscount shouted, “Death Arc of Light!”

From within his blade, a resplendent circle of light expanded into the shape of a blade. It streaked past the lizard’s neck.

* Bang! * The two passed each other. The huge lizard charged forward another few steps before suddenly crashing to the ground.

* Sssii! * Clay yellow scales landed on the floor one by one. Around the lizard’s neck area was a huge cut. Dark red blood spilled on the ground.

“All of you look!” An acolyte shouted suddenly.

With the death of the lizard, its body continued to cave inwards, with the scales continuously falling off and littering the ground. The blood quickly evaporated too. Within a few short minutes, there was only a white skeleton and some yellow scales left on the ground.

“There’s no need to look anymore. The same thing happened when I killed these creatures before.”

Viscount Jackson took out a white handkerchief and wiped his blade clean, before sheathing it into the scabbard.

Leylin knew that this was his chance to lead them all to the Mankestre Snake. He acted to inspect it and showed a Thinking face.

“What’s wrong?” Murphy too discovered that something was amiss.

“Be careful of those bones, there’s something inside it!” Leylin’s brows furrowed and he hurriedly distanced himself from it.

* Sssii! * At that moment, more red blood veins appeared on the desiccated lizard’s skeleton. The bone began to exhibit innumerable puncture holes. It seemed like the veins resided within the bones previously.

Countless more blood red veins took shape, intertwining like the branches of a tree and started transforming into a small-sized creature.

It was rather similar to the creature before, but now its body was blood red. From time to time, red veins popped out. The creature did not have eyes or a mouth. Its four legs appeared extremely sturdy, however.

* Xiu! * The creature’s attack was extremely fast. Before Viscount Jackson and the other acolytes could react, it left its original position. Only a red, blurry line could be seen.

“Give chase! This creature definitely has something to do with the withering woods!” A person covered fully in grey robes whispered something to Viscount Jackson, who immediately gave the order.

“Hurry! Keep up!”

Upon hearing Viscount Jackson’s orders, the Black Iron Guards immediately followed suit, overtaking Viscount Jackson and keeping him in their midst. The grey-robed person followed closely behind.

The remaining acolytes looked at each other. Murphy, a little helplessly, said, “Let’s follow them!”

….

“Be careful, we are venturing deeper. I can already feel the dense negative energy aura in the air!”

An acolyte howled.

Leylin had a higher perception towards negative energy. After all, his main affinities were Shadow and Dark Element particles. Just like Plant affinity and Light affinity emphasized on positive energy research, Leylin’s affinities made him spend more time exposed to negative energy compared to the others.

* Clang! * Sounded their armour as the group halted.

“It disappeared! I saw that red creature pausing at this spot for a moment, then it suddenly disappeared!” Jackson brandished his long sword, “Be on guard!”

The Black Iron Guards immediately formed a circle protecting Jackson and the acolytes within to prevent any sneak attacks.
