Chapter 32
Looking at the dazzling rainbow coloured exit, Leylin's smile widened yet even more.
"The feeling of crossing planes is not a great one!"
"Hurry up and move, don't block the way!" A cold voice sounded right beside Leylin's ear.
Leylin hurriedly bowed and left the place.
Only then, did he take a look at the surroundings.
Outside the exit of the secret plane, it looked the same as before. The 3 academies were divided into a triangular formation where they faced each other. Sage Gotham's Hut and Whitewoods Castle members stood closer together, and faced the common enemy, Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, in unison.
As for now, acolytes continuously swarmed out from the exit, returning back to their respective professor's side.
"That's the leader of The Lighthouse of the Night, Rank 3 Magus Anya"
Leylin saw a black robed man ahead of the 3 chairmen. He couldn't help glancing at him, but quickly retreated his gaze.
'Official Magi always have a defensive force field surrounding them. Moreover, most of it are instantly activated or have a permanent effect. As for higher ranking Magi, they have an even stronger force field encircling them at all times. An ordinary acolyte cannot even get close to them!Leylin remember Feng's plight when he gazed into his deep Green eyes.
Only Anya gaze caught Feng into hallucinations without him doing anything, if not for kroft help he could have even died.
'I don't wish for my soul to crumble immediately in the future just because a high ranking Magus crosses my path in the future. This would really be a grievance!'
Although higher ranking Magus could exercise restraint on their forcefields, it would mean that they were showing their softer side. Leylin could not imagine anyone doing that for him.
"Alright now! Welcome back son!"
After healing Leylin, Kroft revealed a sincere smile.
"Being able to see you again is really great!" Leylin also smiled as he hugged his professor.
At this moment, only then he had time to view the casualties in his own academy.
Due to the teaming up of the other two academies, a huge number of Abyssal Bone Forest Academy's acolytes had perished previously in the war. Right now it seems that Abyssal Bone Forest Academy suffered an even more severe casualty count.
At this moment, behind the professors, there was only a few scattered acolytes standing behind him. Most of them carried injuries with a gloomy expression.
"Leylin!" A pleasantly surprised voiced sounded in his ear.
"Bicky!" Leylin smiled warmly and hugged the curvaceous and beautiful Bicky.
"Very good. I still believed in you." Tears welled up in Bicky's eyes.
It seemed like she was worried about Leylin but that she did not know he was the mysterious man who had saved her before.
Leylin took another look at Bicky and He could not help but feel so as even if it was a level 3 acolyte from Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, under the oppression in numbers from their enemy, they may not be able to protect their lives.
Seeing Leylin's Gaze on her, Bicky spoke on her own accord, "I met Molly right after entering. Also, I met with an extremely powerful enemy acolyte, but a stranger saved me. After that, I met Fayle and it was him who kept me by his side, so I was able to live up till now.
Bicky pointed at an acolyte behind a professor.
Leylin looked over, and it was indeed Fayle who he saw before. After a span of 3 years, he seemed to be even more mature and had more charisma.
Leylin nodded his head and did not ask further.
After casually exchanging a few sentences with Bicky, Leylin looked at the secret plane's exit. Most of them were enemy acolytes streaming out, where very few Abyssal Bone Forest Academy acolytes came out.
* Peng! * At this moment, another acolyte walked out from the exit.
This acolyte wore the grey robes of Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, and had several holes in them. Injuries seemed to riddle his body and there was even traces of blood. Moreover, an arm was missing.
"It's Jayden!" Leylin's looked at him.
Towards magicians, missing a limb was no big issue. There were various and mysterious spells which could regrow their limbs.
Jayden braced himself and walked several steps forward. After seeing his professor from Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, he smiled and fainted immediately.
* Shua! * A white figure immediately appeared in front of Jayden and caught him.
After the white flash stopped, Leylin saw the appearance of the Magus within It was a skeleton with an underworld flame in its eyes!
"Professor Dorotte!" Leylin called out the name of this set of bones.
Previously, it was Dorotte who led Leylin into Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. Moreover, he was Jayden's mentor and even gave Jayden a magic artifact. It seemed like he doted on Jayden rather much.
"Alright! After my detection, there are no more surviving acolytes inside the secret plane. Seal the exit!'
The black robed figure standing before the 3 chairmen spoke.
Once he spoke, the 2 camps sank into deep silence, before the murmuring and sighing noises sounded incessantly.
"No! Where is my Torash? He is definitely still inside!"
"Silver-Claw Saurun? Hurry and come out! He is a genius acolyte, how could the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy manage to defeat him?"
...
"Morphis! Morphis, where are you?"
Constant cries were heard from the enemy camp.
And the Abyssal bone Forest Academy's party seemed to have already expected this. Although the numbers of dead acolytes were many, the reactions of all professors were much lower than what Leylin had expected.
Even for the Potioneering talent Merlin, his responsible Professor (Kroft) only let out a soft dismal gasp upon receiving news of his death.
"Torash! Torash! I left spiritual force coordinates on his body; he should be present amongst us here!"
On the opposite side, a blue bearded old guy yelled madly, following which he chanted an incantation.
* Bang! *
A bright blue beam of light drifted floated above Jayden who had fainted. Within this light an indistinct badge of an acolyte could be seen .
"Argh! No! My Torash! I will kill you!"
The expression on the face of the blue bearded old guy contorted, where a massive thunderstorm appeared midair above him.
"Inside the secret plane, one must take responsibility for themselves in the bloodbath; do you wish to violate the agreement?"
Under the massive thunderstorm, Dorotte stood up with many faint silver beast claws on his back.
"Enough!"
The black-robed figure standing in front of the 3 chairmen spoke, and a gigantic dark green hand grabbed at the sky. * Weng Weng! * The massive lightning was immediately scattered by the giant hand.
"I have said before to abide by the agreement!" The black-robed figure growled.
At the same time, the blue-bearded geezer spurted a huge mouthful of blood. Anger was quickly replaced with fear as he knelt down, "Sir, please forgive an old man, who has just lost his nephew, with your magnanimity!"
"Just this once! If not, I will extract your soul and roast it in the abyss for ten thousand years!"
The black-robed figure spoke again.
The blue-bearded geezer then went back to his academy's camp, before giving Jayden a vicious look.
This hatred and determination of killing Jayden gave Dorotte a headache. Crackling and rattling noises could be heard from the skeletal figure.
"Although this time nothing has happened, Jayden will definitely be pursued by Blue-Beard unless he keeps hiding inside the academy!"
Leylin's eyes turned cold.
Those professors who had had their personal apprentices or successors killed by the other party who was also their sworn enemy swore they would make the killer pay with their blood!
As for the casualties of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy,they were not considered because the other two academies were facing many more losses.
Although they were bound by the agreement and vigilance of the Lighthouse of the Night, as far as Magi were concerned, if they were to pay the price, they could indirectly find a way to exact their revenge!
For example, not taking action themselves, but suggesting to Magi outside of the agreement to act on their behalf. The black market was also an option worth considering.
...
Late in the night, Leylin returned to his resting area and laid down on his bed. In his hands was a faint yellow test tube that he kept on toying with.
These crystals were made from a precious ingredient Nitrogen Crystals. Any spell that was 20 degrees or lesser would not be able to damage it..
According to the olden texts, test tube made from Nitrogen Crystals were known to have preserved the contents even after a thousand years.
Within the faint yellow test tube, there was a ball of translucent liquid.
Leylin casually swirled the test tube. Under the refraction of the light, the liquid within gave off a rainbow-coloured glow, as it continuously whirled, seemingly beautiful.
"This is the Grine Water!" Leylin looked at the test tube and muttered. He knows too well that many Acolytes will massacre whole country to get their hands on this Potion yet this has little to no value for leylin except for analysis that is.
Leylin intentionally glanced and saw that at this moment the acolytes in Abyssal Bone Forest Academy did not amount to over 50.
As for any regular academy, they would have thousands of acolytes!
"However All these have nothing to do with me!" Leylin looked at the potion in his hands.
On the way back to the academy, Leylin and the fortunate surviving acolytes were told about the contribution points they obtained and the details of it, where they can undergo the exchange privately.
Furthermore, the person that was in charge of the exchange was an alchemy beast created by the chairman with no human feelings whatsoever, so it wouldn't reveal the acolytes' exchanges.
One can say that although Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was extremely bloodthirsty, where there was a strong culture of the strong eats the weak, towards the protection of acolytes with true strength and abilities, they still did a rather good job.
Suddenly leylin saw a Disfigured body wrapped in a black robe, coming out from going through an exchange. That was Nyssa.
Leylin stopped his footsteps looking at her. seemingly thinking about some things.
He didn't provide her any support or help in the bloodbath because he knew that this will only dampen her growth.
She was in the end able to get her hands on an Inheritance and changed her fate becoming a Rank 2 Magus, towards her unwavering and relentless pursuit he has only respect and support.
Leylin slowly stepped in front of her, cutting her root. Nyssa was startled at the sudden development but relaxed after seeing it Nyssa.
" It's good to see you are okay " Leylin unexpectedly showed his goodwill.
Nyssa was surprised, looking into Leylin eyes she didn't see any mocking or Disgust . There were only calmness and a soft smile on his face.
" I was just a little Lucky, it good to see you are okay too Leylin " Nyssa said in her hoarse voice.
" I am feeling hungry, do you wish to have some lunch with me? " Leylin said turning his back and slowly walking.
Surprised at the Invitation, Nyssa agreed and followed suit. She was getting a bit nervous thinking that Leylin probably wants to rob her of her Rewards, but a voice inside her told her to follow him and that she can trust him.
