Listening to Leylin account of the event and dangerous situation which can shake the very core of anyone, Freya was stunned without being able to speak for a while.
"So, if it's so dangerous that even you had to struggle then, how am I suppose to take it with me? And more importantly even if you find a way to somehow transfer it with me, won't we be exposed by the Guardians there?" Freya asked her eyebrows under the mask furrowed.
"Yeah it's really a pain in the ass." Leylin held his head pressing his temple but from the clever glit in his eyes Freya knew that Leylin had something up his sleeves.
"Actually controlling it and keeping it under wraps isn't as difficult as you may think. Firstly the «Hand Of Hades» is binded in a very complex and powerful sealing formation remnants of the tyrannical "Cry Devil Pain Trigram", a sealing technique which was at the top level in Ancient Times. Even imitating a bit of its strength and applying it into my modified Four Auspicious Beast Formation, I am sure that I can completely imprison anyone even at Breaking Dawn Rank." Leylin spoke with awe looking at the alter on which the hand was sealed.
Listening to Leylin, Freya squinted her eyes and noticed the complex rune carving on the edge of the altar.
These runes are a bit similar to many high level yet incomplete sealing formation she has studied but compared it to them, it was like comparing a drop of water with an ocean. Of course, though the style was the same, the complexity though displayed here far exceeded those she have ever seen.
If the complexity of the rune studied and carved by a Morning Star Warlock like her is 1, then the ones here could've been rated at 100 or even 1000. The difference was quite obvious.
Leylin circled the hand sealed on the altar and promptly looked towards a half-destroyed text on the side of the altar.
The text was only a few inches away from the altar, with strange curly language on it that seemed to record something. Leylin couldn't really make out what it described but the A. I. Chip was constantly working on it.
"Such a masterpiece sealing formation with complicated intricate diagrams that even I have not been able to solve since it's been in my possession, I am sure that the powers of «Hand Of Hades» is 99% sealed and to break this seal it would need at least four to five thousands years." Leylin looked at the incomplete analysis data of the A. I. Chip and spoke the estimation computed by it.
"You mean to tell me that so far it could only showcase 1% of its power." Freya eye widen in astonishment and fear, only 1% but it was still able to mortally wound four Rank 4s and even force Leylin hands. This is too strange and startling of a concept for her.
"Well to be exact not even that much, it's only the radiation which formed an unique lifeform brimmed with a portion of its power but it held some rudimentary intelligence which made it very dangerous even corrupting everyone around the effected area and slowly contaminated those who were affected. The so-called Dark Devil Clan were such poor soul chained by devilish possession decayed due to its effects. At the end, the creature formed from unwittingly released undulation tried to kill the four intruding Morning Star Warlock using them as sacrifice to release more of its strength and in order to do that, it threw all caution to the wind." Leylin impassively explained the situation in brief but only he know the horror, this strange hand is most definitely similar to Female Bronze Giant from Icy caves, but the difference is the scale. That was just a drop but this is a whole arm! Even with just 1% of its power a normal Breaking Dawn would be lucky to keep his life intact.
"It used all of its collected power and immediately detonated the captured people forcing them into Morning star rank, Logically speaking the cost effectiveness to the gains acquired is not enough so I can't say for sure why it did something like that. My best guess, it wanted to sacrifice their bloodline which would explain the act of using so much energy capable of creating two dozen Morning Star devils to only kill four Rank 4."
"Unfortunately for it, I appeared in the nick of time saving the Warlocks and robbing it of four sacrifices. After that I tried to gauge it, the lifeform was a mere remnant loosing most of its ability so I tried getting rid of it." Although Leylin words were without any fluctuations but in his stoic eyes events of that day flashed by.
The unique life form had a projection body which looked completely black with intricate vein like tattoos all over the body. It eyes were filled with greed, madness, slaughter, insatiable hunger and bloodlust without much glimpse of intelligence, it had most probably succumbed to it's demonic nature at that point after losing lot of power.
Leylin determined that it was a good time to get rid of it and he struck conclusively, the worth of the sealed entity was very high in Leylin eyes, the single blood drop of the Female Bronze Giant could create only a single Morning Star while making an icy cave with its radiation while this unidentified hand on the other hand was able to create so many Rank 4s and also contaminate a huge region despite of its seals.
Hence, Leylin attacked trying to end the roadblock before him quickly, but he was instead pulled into a war of attrition. Although the life form was very weakened it still received some help from the radiation of the hand, even after dominating for some time Leylin can't just kill it despite of his strength lastly left with no choice he made his mind to close the gap in the seal with his power.
Leylin used his law of primordial chaos to imitate the seal undulation cutting off the source of contamination trying to end the confrontation quickly little did he knew, this act angered the subconscious of the sealed prowess inside the «Hand Of Hades».
Leylin was then pulled into an illusionary realm devoid of any life brimming with desolation and evilness, he was confronted by an gigantic evil conscient with unparalleled power shaking the World with its presence, Leylin was in that being's presence for a mere moment but it almost caused him to collapse under the pressure crushing him to death! He can faintly make out two unfathomable dark eyes which seemed like black holes devouring the astral plane.
Thankfully because of the seal, the being was effectively isolated and Leylin was barely able to survive because of his law power backing him, afterwards the consciousness fall into slumber because of forceful attempt at breaking probably. This small confrontation caused Leylin multiple injuries which he had to tend to for a decade to heal completely obviously a decade is very small of a price to pay for a huge treasure like this.
The life form created from contamination was therefore killed by Leylin and he was able to rescue the four Rank 4, eventually making a trip later on to shift the altar from the secret plain to his laboratory.
"Freya, come here!" Leylin pulled his robes sleeves looking very concentrated as he beckoned Freya to come near the formation. Freya knew that Leylin would be imparting this thing to her, how and why he would probably explain later.
....
A whole day passed by, Freya sat cross legged on the ground of astral laboratory, she kept her eyes closed and breath slowly ridding herself of all distraction, Leylin also stood eyes closed leaning on the wall arms wrapped before his chest suddenly his eyes opened as he broke into a gentle smile looking at Freya.
Until the last moment, Freya's heart no longer had any nervousness or confusion, only the determination to dauntlessly move forwards.
"Let's begin!" Freya's eyes had a resolute appearance. Leylin was also excited, Once you fly, you soar. Success involved completely breaking his predicament and solving an important issue, with an unexpected and frightening result!
[Beep! Astral Gate has been opened, operating coordinate database!]
Along with the A.I. Chip's voice, the brilliant river of light within the silver mirror drew constantly closer, until a star resembling a vortex appeared, and the screen's depiction ended there.
This was the Calm Jade constellation, the location of the Purgatory World. With the predecessor's data and adding the A.I. Chip's continuous deduction, it finally progress to this step.
Within the Calm Jade constellation were tens of thousands of worlds, along with many half-planets, different dimensions and broken spaces, their numbers were as vast as the numbers of stars in the sky. To find the location of the Purgatory World from so many possible coordinates was tantamount to fishing a needle from the sea.
Although Leylin had the A.I. Chip, he still needed time to do this.
Bzz! A great deal of light twinkled, threads of silver power were released from the spell formation, dark blinding silver light become even more dazzling.
Bang!
At the moment of Leylin's chant, the radiance of the formation was at its highest point. The entire laboratory was wrapped up in the dazzling dark silver light.
Threads of dark silver light continuously touched the door to the Star Realm, the image of the Calm Jade constellation grew ever smaller on the surface of the silver mirror, moving slowly towards the location of the Purgatory World.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
The Purgatory World, however, was the world where the laws of the Snake Dowager and many other Dignitaries existed. Even though it had merely calculated the coordinates, fine cracks constantly appeared on the surface of the formation used for deduction of the World coordinates.
Crackle! A vast amount of energy unceasingly flowed about in all directions. Many runes even exploded.
At this time, a ray of dark silver light slashed open the display of the Calm Jade constellation as if it was a sharp sword. This caused the Astral Gate to show the edge of a dull-colored star on its surface.
[Beep! The Purgatory World's coordinates have been targeted. Initiating the opening of the space portal!] Accompanying the sound of the A.I. Chip, a blue gate of light opened up before Leylin and Freya with a loud rumble.
A frightening feeling was transmitted from the gate, giving Freya a sense of formidable oppression.
The Purgatory World! It was a very formidable world in ancient times. Until now, it had never declined, and it even contained the violent existence of the Snake Dowager and other powerful laws.
"Freya look carefully! finding this world has been the wish of Giant Kemoyin Serpent Warlocks for a very long time. Taking this step, there is no possibility of turning back!" Leylin smiled and spoke softly, Freya looked at the memorizing view with great excitement and she stepped entirely into the radiant light.
"As I said, I am ready. Goodbye for now dear husband!"
Bang! The blue rays of light exploded with a flash, wrapping up the entire laboratory and bringing it along.
...
A blue ray of light, like a meteor, streaked across the vast Star Realm.
In this blue light was a small figure wrapped into a protection film engraved with countless runes, looking at the dull star which was growing larger and larger in the field of view. It finally transformed into an enormous world.
This world was shrouded entirely in a dense grey fog, and one couldn't see clearly. They could only see pieces of the continents and the ocean with great difficulty.
Any of these continents could be comparable to the size of the central continent of the Magus World. The faint atmosphere of great power was emanated, making one shiver a little.
Rapidly, the power of the Astral Gate brought Freya to the border of the Purgatory World, which was outside of the world boundary.
...
"Take care dear Freya the road is long and the path is difficult, all I could help you with is to make sure your journey is uninterrupted all the way to the Purgatory World, that is the limit of my abilities. "
