"You'll regret this!" The Arctic Queen, who was now covered in a red force showing a wavering energy as she yelled. The illusionary icy world was enveloped by the dreamforce as it corrupted and corroded it.
"I don't think so." Leylin looked at the Arctic Queen seemingly tearing through her cold expression and reading her mind. He has a very powerful resistance to illusory magic, and only because he allowed it, was Arctic Queen successful into pulling him into the illusion that she had created.
"You'll regret this!" "You'll regret this!"
An icy female voice resounded in the illusion, causing ones hair to stand.
Paper dolls that resembled the Arctic Queen sprang up one after another, the icy world collapsing with a rumble. Whether it was the stars in the sky, the continent, or the creatures upon it, everything turned into an Arctic Queen, giving Leylin a terrifying glare.
[Beep! Host's brain is suffering from an unknown influence. Determined to be illusory magic.] the A.I. Chip's voice sounded.
"A.I. Chip, scan the structure of the illusion and construct illusion spell derivation!!" Leylin silently sent down the order.
Soul force energy rippled as traces of dreamforce lingered around the surface of Leylin's body, giving him a few layers of protection as Leylin wantonly recorded Arctic Queen illusion spells. Although Leylin has gained a lot from Dreamscape but he still lacks high level understanding of dreamforce and it's illusionary ability, with time and synchronization Leylin would technically achieve greater comprehension but using Arctic Queen would be a good push as well.
Such a high-level illusion could render a Magus' spiritual force useless.
The A.I. Chip has gained various upgrades after Leylin continuous breakthrough and now with the database on the soul, its ability at analysis had improved by leaps and bounds with the help of dreamscape it read, sorted and complied datas at an amazing speed.
Like the many galaxies in the universe, countless three-dimensional Arctic Queens were formed. These clones that looked like inverted images of the original held weapons in their hands, going on the offensive against him.
Leylin slowly took a step forward, waving his Kemoyin Scales covered hand rippling huge amount of bloodline force as a the cross shaped blood energy erupted blocking large numbers of icy blades that produced dazzling rays of light.
"Suppress!" A cross-shaped light flashed, and tens of paper dolls turned into fragments that filled the skies.
"How?" The doll accompanying this icy voice was torn to shreds, Arctic Queen once again tried to reform it but the shredded doll refused to listen to her command.
*Schlick!* Before the Arctic Queen could state her astonishment, her head was chopped off.
The flat head that was like a piece of paper fell to the ground, and continued to chatter on, "No matter what you do, you can never defeat me in my spiritual space. Hand over your soul source and become my servant. This way, I might even let you off!"
*Rumble!* Red dreamforce flashed and corroded the paper into ashes.
There was a cold smirk on Leylin's face. "Really?"
"Kill him!" As if the Arctic Queen had been enraged, large numbers of two-dimensional paper clones manifested and pounced on him.
"Your strength is so-so, the only shred of use that you had for me is already gone." Leylin's expression was confident as he launched attack after attack, sending fragmented paper flying into the skies, filling it like butterflies.
"You can't escape!" The paper on Leylin's body became as heavy as lead, a few pieces joining to form the face of the Arctic Queen.
"This is my mental world. Even if your abilities are extremely powerful in the external world, I am the ruler here!" The paper doll standing in front of Leylin spoke slowly.
"Ruler? Nice one dear! Let me tell you something, no matter where I am, only I am the ruler!" Leylin's face was plasted with an obnoxious expression and a sly slit in his eyes as he arrogantly proclaimed.
"Nonsense?" The Arctic Queen's brows lifted and raised her arms.
The number of illusory figures increased greatly, and in practically an instant the area was completely filled with paper dolls of various colours.
"Since you wish to die, let me fulfil your wish!" Countless Arctic Queens pounced forth.
At this moment, however, a slight smile appeared about Leylin's lips as the cold voice of A. I. Chip intoned informing about the task completion.
He suddenly moved forward, soul force undulating at his body and gathering on his finger, resulting in rays of flaming light that seemed endless.
"Star Glory Cross!" A gleaming cross sliced at a point in the sky.
*Crack! Crack!* It was like a mirror being shattered, and numerous shivering, spotted lights that resembled tadpoles appeared behind it.
"No! Impossible! How did do that?" The Arctic Queen's voice became high-pitched and piercing.
Leylin laughed haughty manner, ignoring the fear of the Arctic Queen before him. Leylin didn't just find the weak point of the mental world and escaped it but rather he completely shattered it with his ridiculous power completely surpassing the boundaries of what the mental world can withstand!
Countless cracks appeared in illusion world and quickly dispersed. Even more mirrors shattered.
*Bang!* A slight tremor was produced by Leylin's body, and his eyes instantly focused. He glanced at the icy castle and purple swamp.
*Chi chi…* At this moment, a furious, high-pitched sound was emitted from under the castle.
"Let's meet properly." Leylin laughed as began to walk in the pathway that had been created by the explosion.
The surface was full of solid ice, forming intricate patterns and images on the top.
The path was long, and light was sparse, only some feeble jade-green light leaking from the walls on both sides.
The terrifying icy radiation even affected spacetime here, causing Leylin to feel a sense of disorder, not because of the cold but instead of the power hidden beneath.
A dense smell of rust spread throughout the channel as a multicolour light spread from the end. It was piercing to the eyes.
"Do not… come…" "Sinner…"
Deformed sounds were intermittently transmitted to Leylin's ears, the contents only faintly discernible. The soul force of the Arctic Queen spread out, attempting to break through Leylin's point mass and pull his truesoul into another illusion.
Leylin was no longer interested hence, green rays grew brighter on the surface of Leylin's body, creating an illusory layer that began to effectively dodge the attempt.
[Soul invasion detected. Automatic defensive structure enabled.] The A.I. Chip's voice sounded.
"You will regret it!" "You will regret it!"
As she noticed that she was unable to break through Leylin's defences and remembering the even more dreadful experience when he actually destroyed her illusion, the Arctic Queen's voice became shaking and seemed to hold within a poisonous curse as well as fear.
Leylin sneered but didn't talk, eyes full of an intense seriousness as he stepped onto the unknown path ahead.
*Boom!* Large amounts of solid ice turned into powder, the jade-green runes breaking apart and then revealing the exit.
Leylin slowly walked out. After leaving the pathway, everything suddenly seemed spacious.
Leylin surveyed his surroundings. This seemed to be a natural underground cave. At the top was a tremendous slanting passageway. Deep imprints could be seen in it.
At the heart of the cave was a large depression, rays of jade light flickering within like fine threads that formed an enormous network.
Terrifying radiations were being emitted from within the depression, so dense they were practically tangible.
Leylin advanced excited, finding a terrifying corpse at the centre of the depression. It was emitting Morning Star ranked energy undulations.
This was the real aura of an ancient bloodline; deep and lofty, bringing with it a sense of history that was filled with grandeur.
Arwen seemed like a mere inferior product in comparison to the giant corpse in front of him, full of flaws.
"We finally meet, Scorpion Man Or should I say guardian of the Icy world, female bronze giant!"
Leylin glanced at the depression and then the trail at the top. During the invasion of Icy world by Allsnake the void had shattered, and Scorpion Man had dropped into the crust of the earth like a meteor, forming a tremendous depression. The radiation from his body had altered the area, forming the world of ice, and the being that succeeded him had built the icy castle above the depression!
"It's unbelievable to think about." Leylin sighed. If not for the Scorpion Man dying here while carrying the bloodline of the female bronze giant, the entire world of ice would not have been formed. Hence, it wasn't too much of a stretch to call him this world's progenitor.
Leylin's body floated up to the place and slowly descended, arriving at the floor of the hollowed-out area. After seeing the Scorpion Man in full view, his face expressionless.
In front of him was reclined the corpse of an enormous creature, half human half scorpion. Streaks of icy blue connected to the Scorpion Man through his skin like a spider web, injecting great amounts of life force and icy energy into him.
And on the back of the Scorpion Man, strange green blood wriggled as if it had a life of its own. It even covered the Scorpion Man's entire back, spreading in all directions.
Green veins bulged all over the Scorpion Man's body, writhing around. They were like lifeless pupils, full of eeriness.
The corrosion of the green blood and blood vessels had slightly transformed the Scorpion Man's appearance.
It's face was exquisite, appearing more feminine. Female characteristics were showing on its upper body as well.
"To live through all that, her tenacity is unbelievable!" Leylin stated. Only after drawing close could one realise that the Scorpion Man had a weak breath, it's chest slowly throbbing!
However, the small waves of life force seemed incomparably small when paired with the huge body, so small in fact that anyone would neglect them at the start.
"After so long aren't you thrilled to meet someone again, at least say hello!" Leylin stepped forward. At the same time, the Scorpion Man suddenly opened his eyes.
"You're here!" A familiar soul force wave began to attack Leylin's defences.
"Hello guardian of the Icy World, the female bronze giant!" Leylin smiled and bowed like a gentleman but inwardly he was still in a battle ready state.
Leylin did not want to take the risk of being caught defenseless against an ancient creature that comprehended laws even through the livelihood of her being able to do something is very slim.
In the ancient war, the Snake Dowager had attacked the Icy World, and the female bronze giant had died during the war. A drop of her blood fell on the Scorpion Man's body as he fell into a spatial crack, accompanying him as he arrived here by chance. The Scorpion Man had died on the spot, but the green blood on his back had survived!
The female bronze giant was a terrifying creature that had crossed rank 7! She could even control certain laws and can reborn from a single drop of blood!
Her bloodline inherited a part of her spiritual imprint. On top of that, even if the Scorpion Man's Morning Star strength faded, his body retained its vitality. The drop of such an ancient bloodline could obtain a new life here after separating from the main body.
Yet, it was incomparably difficult to be reborn from a single drop of blood. Hence, it acted like a virus, seeking life to live off of, attempting to infect another party and transform it as required.
And in Twilight Zone, was there any creature more suitable for this than the Scorpion Man? Without considering other factors, the mere problem of distance was enough to make a decision!
Thus, the giant's bloodline began living off the Scorpion Man's corpse, even transforming it. This led to the emergence of female characteristics in his appearance.
Such transformations not only required a large amount of time, but also a terrifying amount of life energy.
Hence, the imprint of the giant formed a miniature Icy World through icy radiation, even producing life in this world of ice!
Soon after, she used a portion of the Scorpion Man's flesh to create a guardian for herself, Arwen. A guardian at the Morning Star realm was enough to suppress anything else in Twilight Zone.
Hence, the giant hid behind the scenes while Arwen took charge of all the matters on the surface, regularly gathering icy creatures as blood sacrifices. This was to strengthen the Scorpion Man's life energy, so as to nourish the giant's blood.
Initially, all of this was close to success. Once the transformation was successful, the giant would be reborn from the Scorpion Man's body and become a new life. That is, it would have if Leylin hadn't appeared.
However, there are no ifs in life. Leylin's appearance, and especially Arwen's death, left the giant with no choice but to come forth personally and think of ways to hasten the collection of flesh and life energy but Leylin didn't give it any time.
The Scorpion Man stared at Leylin and a calm soul force was transmitted from his body. "No! I am only a part of the giant. The current me is a combination of a synthesised memory imprint and this Scorpion Man's body! Thus, I am indeed the Arctic Queen!"
Leylin smiled in response he obviously knew that, Even if the opponent had the blood of a creature that controlled laws, its body was still not done with the transformation. It could not be considered a full resurrection yet, only a bloodline imprint struggling at death's door.
Hence, the current Scorpion Man could not move at all. Even speaking needed to be accomplished through soul force, never mind anything else.
"That is why I am so confident." A brilliant glow burst forth from Leylin's eyes.
Even if the Scorpion Man was done with its body's transformation, it would only be a peak rank 4 at most, and by relying on the bloodline's strength be comparable to a rank 5 Radiant Moon Magus. However, against Leylin it's nothing to write home about.
With a bang, the ground shook and something that seemed like a blue root emerged. Branches and leaves merged with the blue antennae on the Scorpion Man's body, forming a cage which sealed Leylin in it.
Snow white fog emerged from the Scorpion Man's pores continuously, merging with the blue antennae and even forming a natural frosty rune on the surface.
"But luckily you're here! With a human Morning Star's flesh, by using Wor's Sacrificial Rites to offer your point mass to the Ice Sovereign, I believe I can speed up the transformation process, even take it till completion!"
The Arctic Queen's voice was cold, "Since you've killed Arwen, use your flesh to pay back your debt!"
"You don't understand!' A purple black light emerged on Leylin's palms, grabbing the cage suddenly and causing a piercing boom.
Many snow white runes flickered, even forming a layer of hard blue ice trying to reinforce the cage but Leylin exerted a bit more force with his hands, and a huge hole opened up in the cage. He then walked out.
"Impossible!" The Arctic Queen's immediately
shouted.
"Do you want me to do it again?" Leylin laughed as his eyes shone and an unbearable suffocating aura of a breaking dawn warlock in full glory erupted from his body.
It triggered some sort of chain reaction, large amounts of soul force appeared on the Scorpion Man's body, even sealing off the blood on his back.
Through his devastating powers, Leylin had turned the tables in an instant, gaining the power to take the initiative.
"You! You are a Rank 6 Magus!" The Arctic Queen screamed.
"I know. Don't state the obvious!" Leylin averted his gaze from the Scorpion Man, watching the green blood on his back.
"Come here!" Leylin's voice held no enthusiasm as he mercilessly released black rays of from his both hands which pierced into the Scorpion Man's back. The green blood began to squirm as if it had just seen its worst enemy.
Unfortunately, it was not just the blood of the female bronze giant that was affected by the poison. Even the voice of the Arctic Queen was turning sluggish.
Leylin paid no attention to the fervent pleas and offers of the Arctic Queen, instead focussing on refining the bloodline in his hands.
With his manipulations, the green blood from the Scorpion Man's back was slowly extracted, veins showing themselves one after the other.
The green blood began to boil and rumble, bursting into verdant flames.
'She is still resisting after so much damage, the vitality of ancient creatures are off the charts!' Leylin side glance at Arctic Queen and continued.
It was way too rare to acquire the chance to refine the bloodline of an ancient creature, especially one that could comprehend laws. Such a thing was almost never seen! Obviously, Leylin didn't want to give up just like this.
*Hss!* A humongous phantom snake appeared, and space immediately cracked under the pressure of this Rank 6 being. Great power burst forth from Leylin's body, locking onto the Scorpion Man and the blood.
"Time to start the plan 'Ascension'!" Leylin's voice was cold, his eyes without any emotion.
Great amounts of bloodline force from Leylin dug into the Scorpion Man's back, forming forbidden runes. It caused the Arctic Queen's movements to grow even more sluggish.
"Give up! There is no hope!" Leylin's voice held no sympathy, he spoke the truth.
Leylin as Rank 6 Warlock is a peak existence when it comes to those who study bloodlines and has multiple tens of spell patterns to seal and suppress ancient bloodline in the A.I. Chip's database.
The Arctic Queen could not move about freely and had not finished her resurrection. In front of Leylin who has extremely high strength and meticulous preparations, her various attacks were destroyed in practically a single blow.
