....

The old witch was in front leading the while, bringing the three behind as they climbed the squeaky stairs to the second floor. She seemed extremely familiar with this place.

"This oil painting is the entrance to the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect's secret plane!"

This oil painting depicted a richly dressed noble woman, using a delicate fan to cover half her face.

Suddenly, the young woman inside the oil painting blinked her eyes!

"You're finally awake?" The old witch advanced as she cackled.

"Foreign intruders, speak the password!" The woman inside the oil painting blinked again as information directly entered each Magus that was present.

The old witch's eyes emitted green lights, and a ring of green fireballs emerged flying directly toward the oil painting.

*Bam!*

Following after a confrontation between the Old Devil and the Ugly women on the painting. Old Devil used her Trump card to took her out. She then proceeded to stored away the Spirit.

Lancy looked at all of this, with her casual indifference. She was instead looking at the painting.

'I am here at last, this is where I will carry out the next step of my plan'

At the present, in the middle of the oil painting a small dot of silver light suddenly appeared.

The silvery light grew bigger and bigger and the surrounding void started to ripple. Finally, it settled into a corridor filled with a silvery sheen.

Resentment, wailing! A strong aura of dark spiritual power poured out constantly from within the corridor.

"Even though there is no chance of encountering any ancient Magi inside the secret plane, but there are still some lingering curses and traps that are still working. We better be careful considering that the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect was a Magi organization famous for researching spirits, one must prepare accordingly."

The old witch warned specifically.

"By now you should reveal to us what you're really looking for right?" Lancy locked the old witch with her gaze.

"Heuheuheu relax, you'll all know when that time comes!" The old witch just cackled manically as usual.

"Speak the truth. Old Devil if you still won't we all will feel insecure" This time, Brass Ring sided with Lancy, "If you don't tell me now, I won't be able to keep my former promises"

"You guys" The old witch was quite anxious but suddenly broke into a coughing fit. Her originally crooked body seemed to bend even more as if her waist was about to break.

"Sigh Alright then!"

After a long while the old witch recovered her breath but her complexion was turning paler.

"It's an altar-like thing. There is only one of it in the whole laboratory. You won't be able to miss it!"

The old witch spoke with an impatience.

"Then what? Only this much information?" Brass Ring immediately asked.

"What else do you think there is?" The old witch's eyes emitted green light as her gaze bore into the body of Brass Ring, "I only found some clues from some ancient information that this altar might be inside this secret plane, how could I know any more specific facts?"

As if he was afraid that the old witch would again lash out at him, Brass Ring chose wisely not to ask any further questions.

The old witch tried to calm her expression but still chose to speak at last, "That altar is a product made by the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect during their later periods, and is called the Spirit Altar. It has great benefits towards alleviating my current conditions. There is even a chance that it might directly cure it" Saying this she looked in Lancy's direction with a cruel glit in her eyes but quickly hid it.

'No matter how much you try to hide it Old Bat, since I know of your motive, your actions are too easy to read' Lancy didn't look in her direction, maintaining her indifferent front. ' But I guarantee you won't like what I have in store either'

"If you all help me get to it, then Virago's materials, Brass Ring's thunder fire stone, Jaye's gasping lakewater will all be given, not one gram less!"

The old witch guaranteed once more.

"You and I are old friends, if I won't help you then who will?" Among the rest of the three Jaye was the first to speak. The voice was neither masculine nor feminine and carried a weird pitch.

"Alright! I was just asking!" Brass Ring also started to concede.

"What about you Virago?" The old witch looked over Lancy.

Lancy didn't answer her but just casually nudged her head to move forward. This blatant behavior ticked Old Devil off, but she gritted her teeth and still regained her composure.

"That's good!"

The old witch looked at the corridor which emitted silvery light and said, "Alright, the corridor should be completely stabilised by now, let's us proceed!"

Following which the old witch's eyes radiated a fervent hunger as she stepped into the corridor. She is one of the higher ups in a Dark Magi organization, She will surely not take disrespect well but she knows how to bid her time.

The dazzling silvery light suddenly expanded and swallowed the four people completely.

"Buzz buzz!"

Following which he heard some buzzing sounds.

Following the sound a large grey cloud appeared. Once it got closer, Lancy discovered that this dark cloud consisted of densely packed, moth-like organisms.

Fur grew on these organisms, and the image of a huge eye was depicted on each of their huge wings. It seemed quite eerie.

"Careful! Those are the Spirit Devouring Moths!" The old witch raised the alarm.

"Don't touch the dust that they carry, otherwise your spirit and mentality will be continuously corroded!"

At the same time the old witch opened her mouth and emitted a shrill scream. Sound waves could be seen exploding forth like an artillery shell.

*Boom!*

Half of the grey clouds disappeared, and at the same time, a huge amount of dust billowed down like it was snowing.

Lancy simply snapped her finger and a flame covered her body, creating a layer of flames protecting her from dusts.

"Inferno Mass"

Lancy's suddenly pointed her fingers forward as she struck an offensive pose. The blazing flames morphed into wolves and leapt ahead.

*Bang!*

Two crimson wolves image flashed through the void. It surrounded the Spirit Devouring Moths from both left and right and pressed towards the center.

Countless moths were directly torn into tatters by the wolves, torn wings and grey dust like kept fluttering.

[Host's Inferno mass theoretical power: 25 degrees. Real power: 30 degrees!]

Without even emitting any smoke, the Spirit Devouring Moths were directly burnt to ashes in the crimson flames.

"This might Is your elemental essence conversion more than 50%?" The old witch transmitted her voice to Lancy

" Maybe or Maybe not, what do the 'all mighty' Elder Old Devil think ?" Lancy answered indifferently.

"Hehe the stronger you are the more it will benefit me. After all, compared to Brass Ring, I would rather trust you who signed a contract with me!"

The old witch made another promise while she spouted words she herself didn't believe, "As long as you help me, not only will I give you information about concealing your spiritual force, I'll also give you another million magic crystals. Hell, I'll even give up my position as an elder in the organisation to you!"

Lancy didn't bother with any response, ignoring Old devil words. The old bat didn't took this kindly but still contain her composure.

Inwardly she scoffed at the old devil offer, 'I already know that the method of concealment is pretty much stacking the spiritual force up and using that as a front. Although i only know about the description not the actual techniques, i came up a way, exclusive to my exploits, that is to use the Dantain and Meridian points to act as the covet, behind which one stacks up and wrap their Spiritual force, even though the technique is not absolutely complete, only when a Rank 2 magus invest some method then my cover will be blown, as for Rank 1 Magus. They can only wish.... '

'Ohh Old Bones, The more you are anxious to swindle me, the more pathetic you look. Love is really a weakness in this God Forsaken World - Your love for your dying daughter has done nothing but pull you down' Lancy thought while looking at pair of mother and daughter.

The old witch took on her role as the leader and guided them in. Minutes later, the four of them came to a fork in the path.

At each of the entrances, there were no obvious signs at all, causing a wave of foreboding to go through the four of them.

"Since it's a laboratory, how can there not be a sign for it?"

Brass Ring took the initiative and asked.

"There might have been one that had been destroyed by someone, or the Magi here had another method of communication that we're unaware of!"

After debating they decided to seperate and explore in teams, the four of them chose the path that was on the far right and entered.

*Step step!*

Black leather shoes and the metal flooring met, the friction causing a very piercing sound.

*Sweesh*

Lancy saw only her figure was left in the entire passage. The old witch, Brass Ring, and Jaye had all disappeared. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

*Ding!*

Suddenly some sort of mechanism have been triggered, and behind her, the metallic walls seemed to have lives of their own as they converged, thus blocking her retreat.

"Inferno Mass!"

Flames erupted from Lancy's body and Wolves began to manifest, They snarled and attack with claws as they pressed them directly on the converging walls.

*Sssii!*

As if cold ice had been directly thrown onto a blazing inferno, a sizzling sound of evaporating water was heard.

The unknown black metal turned completely red and constantly melted, forming puddles of liquid metal that stained the floor.

The Wolves didn't stop yet and frantically started to wreak havoc, exposing a way out.

*Bang!*

The entire passageway jolted slightly, and the sound of corrosion sounded.

Right as the metallic walls were about to converge, Lancy calmly walked her way out, leaving behind a human-shaped gap. Droplets of liquidised black metal were still dripping incessantly.

Lancy looked at the black passage behind her that had completely closed up, with an indifferent and borish expression.

Lancy surveyed her surroundings,

This used to be a garden or a place where plants were cultivated. It had a large area, and streams of man-made sunlight shone upon the land. Those were the Sunbeam Moss, which were tenaciously exhibiting their usefulness. There was also evidence of plants wilting.
