...

Without any apprehensions, the Toxic Bile ripples struck the surrounding Crystal Phase Magi, creating countless waves.

After absorbing the Lamia bone's radiation, the power of Lita's Intimidating Gaze had swelled by a few folds. The pressure was immense even for similarly-ranked Crystal Phase Magi.

The surrounding Magi, numbers 1 and 2, immediately cried out in alarm.

"Lethal Maul!" At such a juncture, Lita did not show the slightest reservations. Their group was largely outmatched. Although she could match a Crystal phase Magus and Cole is stronger than one, the number are not in their side. This was the reason why she attacked with full force without even the slightest of negligence.

The black claws of death, aimed at the weakest link, number 3. It was like a vicious viper baring its ferocious teeth at its prey. Number 3 attacked with various metallic chains.

"Number 2, support!" Number 1 yelled immediately. As the leader of the team, he needed to help protect Leo as he was being attacked by Cole.

*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!* Multiple chains appeared like a wall, blocking Lita's advance.

"Fiendish Demon Blade!" Lita held onto a slim sword which is a magic equipment, its reddish blade dazzling.

*Pak!* The iron chain was split apart. The rays of death appeared before number 3.

"You want my life?" Number 3 looked like a kindly old man, and had extremely thin and long lips. At that moment, he lost all self-control and started howling as his face warped.

"Thunderstorm Shield!" Sparks of blue electricity danced around, forming a massive blue shield in front of him. On top of the shield were flickering multiple streams of current.

*Rumble!* The death rays clashed with the blue shield. Two different streaks of brilliance collided in midair.

Although the shield was showing signs of being unable to endure for long, it bought him enough time for backup to arrive. Seeing the support, number 3 broke out into a smile.

But the next moment, his face froze. With a flash of his body, another identical Lita appeared in front of number 3 and dashed forward.

"Lightning Spear!" Number 3 waved his hand and two shafts appeared in his hands that were bathed in arcs of blue electricity. Following his command, the two long spears darted towards the two 'Lita's

*Crackle!* One 'Lita was pierced by the long spear, and the slight explosion caused darkness to fill the whole sky.

"No!" Panic washed over number 3 and he turned around.

Yet, it was too late. Lita emerged from a crack in the darkness and dashed directly towards him.

Lita muscles swelled instantly, swinging the sword with full power bringing a kind of shiny luster to the sword. Rays of red and black combined, forming a terrifying energy.

"Innate defense spell!" Number 3 revealed his last trump card. Numerous currents covered his whole body, forming an armour made wholly out of blue lightning.

"Break!" Bolts of lightning were flung at Lita's body. However, they were absorbed by the Kemoyin Scales. Lita's hands violently moved forward and her sword attacked the opposite party's lightning armour, tearing it in half!

*Zip!* With her terrifying prime body quality and her magic equipment the lightning armour was torn apart like paper.

The wild electric current destroyed Lita's defences, and scorched her skin and muscles in a horrifying black.

Although she had other ways of breaking through the other side's blockade, she was in a race against time to succeed. Thus, she believed the best course of action would be this that was simulated multiple times by the A.I. Chip.

With a huge earth cleaving thrust, number 3's head was cracked apart, sending splashes of red and white liquid all around.

"Number 3!" Number 1 and number 2 helplessly watched this execution.

"Stormwall!" A pale green whirlwind emerged from the Number 1's hand. The huge whirlwind then formed a terrifying barricade that seemed to be made of sharp blades as it rushed towards Lita who had to retreat.

Number 1 and 2 nodded their heads, and simultaneously cast their own spells.

"Water Elemental Rite!" A huge blue ball of water appeared on the ground under number one's chant.

"Arctic Draft!" Number 2 summoned a huge bout of chilly air and had it adhere to the ball of water.

The icy wind sucked away the heat from the ball of water, causing a huge reaction as a frightening ball of ice was formed.

"Combination spellIceberg Torrent!"

The huge ball of ice was like a meteorite as it darted towards Lita, smashing onto the ground.

"Impressive!" The blue light in Lita's eyes dimmed. Her body was covered in injuries, and yet she wasn't desperate.

The cold could freeze the average rank 3 Magus to death.

"Tectonic Shield!" "Golden Crow Wall" Two huge layers immediately sprouted out of nowhere as in the half side great amount of dense earth energy fused with the other half wall of fire to create an unbreakable protective layer which clashed with the whirlwind that had now developed into a hurricane. The two clashed, each trying to destroy the other.

"These Combination spell cannot match the spell created with an extraordinary amount of calculations of the A. I. Chip. Both Cole and Roderick has trained vigorously with each other, and their combined strength only pushes their ability to a whole another level."

The wall of fire and earth stopped the devastating momentum of the hurricane and swiftly attacked towards the duo afterwards using the remaining power left.

Number 1 and Number 2 retreated sustaining a few injuries.

Previously as they were about to proceed and attack Lita putting her in a precarious position, another figure emerged with terrifying momentum. Combining strength with the other one present he acted and protected Lita. Roderick has finally arrived!

The sides were even now, in fact Lita group held an obvious advantage.

*Snap!* A sharp and clear sound could be heard from Leo's chest as he stared blankly turning his attention towards hombus-shaped crystal and saw the surface being filled with cracks and at the same time, it wasn't shining. This was the second time, he couldn't understand what was happening the first time but now he woke up to reality.

This is the crystal that seals the spirit source. It's destruction means that a comrade has perished.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you attack Oakheart family!" Seeing the three assailants Leo roared, he was stunned stupid before because he never expected someone to attack them in their own territory.

Leo silently sent down a command, and Lita quickly found that the stardust bugs that she had hypnotised into submission had received a command. They would reveal information about her looks and ranking, as well as crawl over her body so that she could be tracked.

'How dare you?' Lita eyes turned ruthless, Leo actually dared to receive all of the information along with the picture of her naked body, this wasn't the case in the barter where they stopped at the face only. Lita sneered inside, 'A.I. Chip, Destroy the stardust bugs!'

Soon the buys which transmitted to Leo through formless undulations were destroyed, and he could get nothing. The same thing happened with Cole and Roderick too, this stunned him and also fears started to rise in his heart.

"Do not let them get away!" Wild whistles and screams sounded from both sides. Leo's eyes burned with an unmasked hatred.

My goodness! This group actually knows about the Stardust bugs! This could spell huge trouble for the clan and If his private collections were discovered, he would be brutally torn to pieces by the enraged female Morning Star Magi!

The methods Morning Star Magi used in tormenting others were unbearably cruel, and feared by even the most savage of devils. Naturally, Leo felt the same way.

"Buzz!" Just at this time, a subtle energy wave was transmitted from Leo's ring in the form of a blue ray of light as an image was projected in the sky.

In this image was a blue-haired Magus with eyes, more brilliant than the stars.

"Master Grandfather!" Leo bowed respectfully while Number 1 and Number 2 knelt on the ground as they shivered. The dignity of a Morning Star Magus could not be violated even if you were at the Crystal Phase. They didn't care about the group because in the presence of a Morning Star only death awaits them.

The expression of the Magus in the image was awful: "I felt a portion of the dispatched stardust bugs being destroyed."

Leo nodded and turned his hate filled eyes towards the group who were strangely calm. Leo knew that the fact Oakheart Clan made use of stardust bugs to spy on each and every move of the Magi was a top secret and the consequences would be dire if this secret was to be exposed.

Even the Azure Mountain King, who was also a Morning Star Magus, would not be able to appease the anger of the numerous Magi.

Adding on, once the female Morning Star Magi found out that their conduct and deeds were. Leo didn't dare to even think about it anymore.

As Leo was about to speak and watch with ecstasy as the trio would meet their maker, but suddenly Lita and the group bowed respectfully.

"Lord Azure Mountain King!" They saluted as if they were familiar with Zack and Leo had a very bad premonition in his mind.

Zack turned and his tension was eased, he could easily see through their disguise and look at their true form, "Oh so it was you."

Although Zack looked calm, Leo could feel his wrath as he turned towards him, "I explicitly told you to not meddle in their business."

"Grandfather! I didn't But they were the ones who attacked us." Leo realized that Azure mountain king has issued him a command about not using Stardust bugs on a few Magus, he was smart and eventually used all of the stardust bugs to only see people apperance not following his previous shenanigans.

But currently he was panicked being stared by his Grandfather like this, it dawned on him that these were the three who were to be not spied upon as per Azure mountain king orders.

"You will get your punishment, Take care of business and send them on their way." Zack wanted nothing to do with this, even though he knew they were aware of the truth except for Leylin, he didn't particularly care because knowing that horrifying man he would definitely not let others ruin his plans.

Leo nodded reluctantly and looked at Lita group, and then his own knowing full well what Azure mountain king meant. He had no option but to get rid of Number 1 and 2 since, they heard about the stardust bugs, and he also surrender the Forbidden Ancient Clock swallowing the hatred and rage.

Lita hesitated as she also wanted to say something, Leo dared to try taking a look at her body, this is an insolence she cannot let go off, but knowing her place she kept quite. Things were already going her way so, she should accept this or else it would be a disaster if Azure Mountain King is annoyed.

....

With their goals accomplished Lita and the group didn't overstay and timely retreated, Lita truly enjoyed to see Leo's crazed look as she departed unscratched.

Azure Mountain King cannot be bothered to deal with them, he knows that him being exposed would bring no profit to Leylin and as such he didn't kill them to erase evidence.

If it weren't for Leylin, Lita would be in deep trouble because even if she has the Tri-Python Ring. Azure Mountain King would need just an extra few moments to deal with it.

Lita had been very careful in her approach to not offend him, she quickly choose to travel by airship in favour of making her travel faster.

Lita had various treasure in her hand and she was very nervous, now she knew that the task handed by Leylin had various layers of test and trials hidden underneath them.

Lita was particularly euphoric after counting the various goods Roderick got from Vance, there were almost all the essential needed for her to breakthrough.

Lita was very cautious and excited and only after entering Leylin territory and being greeted by the mechanical voice of the tower genie did she relax completely.
