....

As the three Rank 5's tussled together, Leylin left the formation and sneaked inside the protected building of the Union Leader. Leylin had someone infiltrate beforehand and with his ability he wasn't much hard pressed to get inside, Leylin has various means gained from the Sky City.

Leylin walked inside as no one could catch his silhouette, a scarlet spell formation appeared before him, fragmented and drifting through the air like butterflies. There was a pair leading his way, one was the Jupiter Lightning spy Bowens and other is Scarlet Eye's son, Schiker.

Bowens was very familiar with this place as he walked up to the huge secret room in the centre. A crimson spell formation in the middle of the room lit the place up, the light flickering at its edges.

A humming sound was produced as the formation let loose a layer of flames to block Bowens' advance.

Bowens' eyes only grew brighter at this. "It's here!The barrier that Scarlet Eye set up himself."

Blue light gathered at his hands, flickering. At the same time, Schiker woke up from this period of unconsciousness.

Leylin looked straight at the humming formation as an excitement flared inside his mind to possess that treasure inside.

Meanwhile, Schiker eyes were blurred for a moment, but he still immediately raised his guard looking at Bowens. "This The underground saferoom! Uncle Bowens, you actually betrayed us"

"Look closely, kid. Who's your Uncle Bowens?" 'Bowens' sneered, his muscles and bones shifting. The red feathers that marked an Emberwing disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a completely different person. The energy of a Morning Star domain burst forth.

"So Uncle Bowens is already dead" With this sight, Schiker heaved a sigh of relief. If it really was Bowens who had betrayed him and his father, he had no idea what to do.

"Hehe Do you still not understand? I am Bowens, but Bowens isn't me! Whatever, the people of this land won't understand even if I explain it" Bowens snickered, and that caused Schiker's heart to sink further.

"If not for needing the tenth and higher levels of Fireplume as well as the blood aura of the leader to break through this barrier, do you think I'd have brought you here?" Bowens laughed coldly, preparing to make his move.

Schiker shook his head and closed his eyes.

"Bowens of the Jupiter Lighting, your plan is great it's just a shame that I am here as well!" However, an unfamiliar voice sounded by his ear, giving him the illusion that something was wrong with his ears.

"Who?" Bowens watched Leylin, his hands trembling. Leylin had easily been able to sneak behind him at such close proximity, which means that this person was at the same rank as him.

"No need to know that! Your fate is already decided!" Leylin answered indifferently. As he was speaking, he walked near the duo.

After seeing Leylin a vicious, berserk aura burst forth from Bowens' body. Starlight twinkled behind him, forming a unique Morning Star domain.

Two orbs of golden flames appeared in his hands, emitting the powerful energy of Fireplume.

"Fire Phoenix Slice!" Berserk energy from Fireplume was amplified by magic, resulting in a barrage of powerful blades of fire that sliced towards Leylin.

Leylin shook his head, not even looking at the incoming attack as his gaze was on the formation behind them, "We stand at a completely different level!"

Leylin sliced his fingers in the air, and countless large wind attack came into existence.

*Clang! Clang!* The blades of fire slammed into the wind blades, and the result was a piercing noise that sounded like a torrential rain.

"You aren't even good enough to get me serious!" Leylin sighed, and a large phantom of Adhishesha appeared behind him. The two pupils were like giant stars; the ancient, ominous aura causing Bowens' expression to warp,

*Rumble!* Two orbs of dark red fire emerged in Leylin's hands, beating back the energy from Bowens' Fireplume. Leylin teleported in front of the man.

"No How's that possible?" The move that he was most proud of had been defeated so easily by his opponent, and it seemed to have no value at all. Bowens cried out.

"Impossible is merely a term coined for the things unthinkable and unreachable by others!" Leylin extended his right arm, the hand passing through the opponent's defences and grabbing onto his throat. The A.I. Chip began a scan.

[Beep! Scanning opponent's energy pathways. Discovered areas that can be optimised! Recording into database, adding into simulation fusion experiment!]

Details on Bowens' point mass and the operation of his Fireplume appeared in Leylin's mind, and the information gathered allowed the A.I. Chip's understanding of fusing Fireplume into his path grew more complicated.

"No meaning in resistance!" Various devil arms emerged, taking all of Bowens' items from his spatial storage as well as Gaia's Disc. When he caught sight of the black copper key, Leylin eyes sparkled.

He knew this thing could be used to break through the final spell formation, and Bowens had kept it safely himself. It definitely had a special function.

"Let me go, Lord Zegna will offer a good ransom for me Or we can even sign a contract! After my contract with Jupiter's Lightning ends, I'll side with the you!" Bowens had been trounced thoroughly, and had lost all methods to resist. He quietened down, the viciousness in his expression disappearing as he began to bargain calmly.

He did not want to die. As a Morning Star Magus, he believed he could still be of some value to Leylin, and began to look for ways to save himself rationally.

"The loyalty of a Morning Star huh?" Leylin stroked his chin.

"It'd be more convenient to kill you. I don't have the time to set up any powerful restriction formations on you, and you can probably destroy any regular contract." Ice-cold bloodlust filled the room as his voice sounded out.

Hearing Leylin's unhesitating words, Bowens began to panic, "Wait! I have a crystal contract in my spatial belt! Even Breaking Dawn Monarchs won't be able to subvert or break it. This way, you can be at ease about me. On top of that, I know a lot of inside information which will definitely be useful"

Even though he knew Leylin had likely said it to frighten him, he didn't want to take the risk.

"Good! Let's begin then!" Leylin nodded while grinning.

...

At this time, Bowens spoke from Leylin's side like a follower, "Scarlet Eye's bloodline is needed to break through this flame defence. Along with the tenth level of Fireplume, our leader acquired an Arcane Art that will allow Schiker to be sacrificed to simulate his aura."

This was the very reason he had even dragged Schiker here.

Leylin shook his head as decided to not kill Schiker, he may become a good ransom later.

Leylin perform a grabbing gesture in Schiker direction as blood flowed from Schiker's body, and fresh pearls of blood spurted out, floating in the air.

"Bloodline Trace!" Leylin's eyes flashed and he began to chant a strange, bleak runic incantation.

With his incantations, Schiker's fresh blood began to boil, even forming a phantom image of Scarlet Eye with red eyebrows and hair.

"My lord's techniques are superior, I am impressed. You can even do something as awesome mimicking Scarlet Eye's Aura without using Schiker as a sacrifice!" Bowens took the opportunity immediately, trying to flatter him.

Leylin didn't react, having no expectations towards the integrity of this Morning Star Magus.

"Tenth level of Fireplume!" Leylin's hand filled with dark red flames, and he pressed it to the layer.

*Buzz!* The defensive layer began to tremble.

"Go!" With Leylin's indication, the pearls of Schiker's blood flew to the defensive membrane, a blood-red colour spreading across it.

The dark red flames on Leylin's hands fused with this layer, and the defences gradually fell apart.

At this moment, the thing that Leylin anticipated happened. Scarlet Eye's enraged voice resounded in the basement.

"Despicable robbers, die!" Blood-red light converged in one spot, forming an image of Scarlet Eye.

"Your main body couldn't defeat me let alone this, Off you go!" A vicious thunderous suffocating undulation appeared on Leylin's body as he his hands morphed into a huge claw and grabbed at the oncoming attack.

The barrier that Scarlet Eye had set up had actually been a trap. The moment it made contact with an external force, it had immediately shown the image of the Emberwing himself, and unleashed an attack.

This was the terrifying attack of a Radiant Moon!

"Die!" Scarlet Eye's figure roared, hair and eyebrows seemingly beginning to burn up. Tremendous, fierce flames formed a blazing phoenix that charged towards Leylin's claw.

As if this phantom had a will of its own, its first target was the traitor, Bowens but Leylin had other plans for him so, he won't let him die so easily.

"Let me give you a taste of your own medicine, Fireplume.' A glint appeared in Leylin's eyes as he made up his mind. He was able to finish the stimulation of Fireplume long ago and has even been advanced and modified it. Dense Fireplume energy radiated from his body as umbra black fire emitted from his point mass as it buzzed and shook vigorously, rotating at a high speed. Powerful energy undulations were emitted from it.

The tenth level of Fireplume had been modified to fuse with his point mass. This result was not just an addition of one plus one. Furthermore, this was a perfect fusion, not the bastardised version that Bowens had created. The amplification of power was even greater than anticipated.

He felt power overflowing in his body, and facing the incoming rank 5 attack he made his move without hesitation. His claw was enveloped in the dense dark fire as it intercepted.

After the modification, the energy of Fireplume was driven by the force of a Morning Star's point mass. The resulting power was terrifying.

*Crackle!* Devilish black flames appeared around Leylin's claw, forming a demon attack wreathed in black fire.

The phoenix cried out, and this screech brought with an aura of devilish power as the hand grabbed the phoenix.

Leylin twisted his arm with swing, throwing the fire phoenix towards the wall with grace.

*Chirp!* Melodic phoenix cries were heard, and the phoenix streaked across the horizon destroying the wall to attack the Morning Star Magus outside.

All and any who we caught in the way were burned from the attack as their sentient force was collected for a greater cause of helping Leylin in his future endeavors.

....

After being thrown out by the the blackfire claw, phoenix phantom's face was tinted with confusion, even fear. The earth rumbled as black and gold flames intertwined, creating a shockwave that spread throughout the area.

Leylin looked at his hands as he felt that with the A.I. Chip balancing and fusing the essence of Fireplume into his point mass, the power of this already formidable technique had been furthered and reached a horrifying degree of power.

"What What just happened?" Gilbert, Adam and Emma were dazed. They were hinted by Lita to abandon all attacks and immediately retreat, as the phoenix flied out and Lord Kilvish had wiped out the phantom of a rank 5 Magus in just one move?

That was a full-out attack from a rank 5! In that moment, Gilbert and Emma felt as if they were dreaming.

It took a while before Gilbert spoke. "Lord Kilvish, has made his move?"

"This battle is becoming more and more dangerous!" Adam stated. He has never see fall of so many experts at Morning Star Level at the same venue.

Leylin didn't bother much with others, numbers of star rank experts have dwindled ridiculously low for him to care.

Leylin raised his arms and watched the demonic black flames, these mutated black flames are the bane of all traditional Fireplume energy.

"Thank you for saving me My lord." Bowens said as he watched the flames piteously. Leylin is a mighty Rank 5 Magus! It was good that he yielded early.

Not caring about Bowens, Leylin pointed his hands at the flame shield. "Open!" The membrane began to be burned down by black demonic flames.

No, it was not burning. It was being corroded! The top-grade flames from Scarlet Eye's Fireplume were corroded by the modified flames from Dark Fireplume, gradually revealing a giant hole.
