<strong>Refusal to Budge and Absolute Defeat</strong>


    ‘Sealing a rank 3 beast spirit could perhaps bring forward the advancement of a rank 2 Magus to a rank 3 Magus by 20 years!’ Leylin stroked his chin and began to ponder the A.I. Chip’s precise analysis of the situation. ‘Of course, the strength of soul and body of an average rank 2 Magus could never endure a seal from a rank 3 beast spirit, unless they were a Warlock...


    ‘Besides, there is a limit to the soul’s capability and strength, which serves as a bottleneck to beast spirit techniques. As such, in the Purgatory World, rank 6 beast spirit masters have never been seen, let alone anyone above that, either Sacrificer or beast spirit master...’


    At this time, the enemies were dumbfounded at the swift defeat of their rank 4 Azure Trench Serpent by the Godric. How could a rank 3 beast spirit contend with a rank 4? It shook their beliefs.


    “Beast spirit summon——Four-winged Bird!” No matter how shocked and unwilling, they had to ept the reality. When the Azure Trench Serpent could no longer withstand the Godric’s attacks, a tattoo shed once again on the body of the hawk-nosed man.


    A giant four-winged bird emerged from him, wind elemental particles around its body circting ferociously to form a violent energy— a wind de!


    A giant pale green light de split the ocean apart, revealing the silhouettes of the Godric and the Azure Trench Serpent’s battling it out.


    Upon seeing that the Godric could not be beaten, the enemy once again called upon their rank 3 four-winged bird. When it was coupled with the Azure Trench Serpent, Leylin’s Godric was caught in a tough battle. The wind des sliced its body apart over and over, if not for having transformed into a beast spirit blood would have been gushing from its wounds.


    Even as a beast spirit, the Godric’s voice gradually grew more muffled, and its soul dulled.


    ‘Indeed, when beast spirits are involved a rank 3 fighting head on against a rank 4 is kind of a stretch...’ Leylin vaguely swept his eyes across the field. At this moment, Belinda was already fighting her opponent in their own small battlefield.


    Not entering the stage himself, Bayrk focused on the governor of Elias, asionally turning with a hint of gloating in his eyes.


    ‘What a narrow-minded and prejudiced old fool!’ Leylin was filled with disgust, and he secretly afforded him the death penalty.


    ‘I can’t use my energy and magic as a Warlock, which extends to the Kemoyin Emperor magic. I can only hide myself by using baster Devilsnake magic...’ A thought shed across Leylin’s mind, and ayer of white scales emerged from his body.


    With the Mask of the Dreamless and an baster Devilsnake bloodline, it would be difficult for anyone, even Belinda, to discover that his abilities were just an imitation.


    [Beep! Host is currently using baster Devilsnake bloodline. Scale simtion uracy at 99.99%. Vitality and defence have increased, dreamforce has strengthened] the A.I. Chip’s voice transmitted over. Havingpleted the transformation, Leylin’s body was covered in ayer of delicate white scales, and sharp fingernails burst forth from his hand. The scarlet tint in his eyes seemed to grow deeper and purer.


    “Devilsnake bloodline!” The enemy shouted.


    “Die!” Leylin shouted, a white phantom as heunched towards them. His sharp ws chilled the air. Though he was confident in his own disguise, fake was fake. He was bound to leave a clue with the passage of time, so it would be good to end the fight quickly.


    “Damned hybrid!” The hawk-nosed man opposing Leylin glowed red with anger, and he started hitting himself in the chest. A faint blue circle sprouted blue mes that engulfed his body, and a hard mane grew on his face.


    “Beast spirit union! Rank 3 Blueme Phantomwolf!” At the lowest point, the opposing beast spirit master had alreadypleted the union, turning into a half man half wolf monster. His energy grew tremendously.


    ‘Blueme Phantomwolf? It seems to be some kind of advanced creature, powerful with fire and closebat. It’s strong physically too...’ Leylin managed to identify the beast spirit’s characteristics from an archive he’d found on the market. He also remembered its strengths and weaknesses.


    A beast spirit master at rank 4 or above could fuse with his beast spirit, using some secret techniques to acquire the abilities of the beast spirit they’d sealed. With an increasing number of beast spirit, the beast spirit master became more terrifying as well. This technique solved the problem of a weak body, so much so that one could say that without it any beast spirit’s value would be halved.


    *Awooo!* Blue me covered the enemy’s palm, one that had already turned into a furry paw. It looked like ayer of ss. The giant wolf w shot out, sharp and on fire. He charged violently towards the white phantom.


    A huge explosion sounded in the air, and a sh blinded onlookers. Leylin and his opponent retreated, and a few white scales fell to the ground with blue fur.


    ‘Borrowed strength is still borrowed strength. Even if I were to use the rank 4 Giant Kemoyin Serpent power I could defeat him easily.’ Leylin’s eyes filled with pity, and his opponent grew furious.


    This half-snake half-human wielded massive power, able to fight on par with and sometimes overpower a rank 4 beast spirit master. He hadn’t gained much of an advantage from the four-winged bird, and it was obvious that this battle would continue for some time.


    However, that would prove fatal in this battle. Belinda woulde upon ending her own fight, and even otherwise Bayrk’s presence shook his confidence in being able to defend Port Elias.


    At this time, the battle at the port was already near its end. Engulfed in thick smoke, the port was left in tatters, withrge paw prints all over the once bustling street. Walls everywhere were destroyed, and the road was steeped in blood.


    Obviously, Bayrk had made meticulous ns so that the backup team at the port couldn’t fight back. In this instant, unless a rank 6 warrior joined the fight, their defeat was inevitable.


    Unfortunately, they were near the Hail Continent’s coast. This was the territory of the Snake Dowager, and the Nefarious Filthbird sending a high-ranked warrior here would be amand of suicide.


    As the battle on the ground drew to a close, the battle in the sky ended as well.


    “The baster Devilsnake Devours!” Belinda’s apuse sounded as a giant baster Devilsnake phantom emerged, its scarlet eyes focused on a broken-armed Filthbird phantom from a sacrifice.


    A dark red mist filled the surroundings, bringing with is a psychic power that instilled fear into even the Morning Star fighters. They did everything they could to avoid it. This dreamforce posed a threat to those that hadn’te in contact with or couldn’tprehend Dreamscape.


    In the meantime, this Nefarious Filthbird who Belinda was focused on melted like wax into a mixture of blood and fat.


    “Nick! Hold on!” The giant baster Devilsnake phantom suddenly turned and charged towards Leylin.


    ‘Finally. I just had to endure for a little while and Belinda’se to help. She’s defeated her own opponent, and I won’t have to reveal anything else.’ With everything within control, Leylin let out a smile, expressing his relief.


    The enemy’s eyes were filled with despair, and he gave up the fight with Leylin. The Azure Trench Serpent was forcefully ordered to retreat. Blocking Leylin’s path, he jumped onto the back of the giant four-winged bird, ready to escape.


    “Trying to run away?” An icy voice came from under the baster Devilsnake phantom, “Dream on!”


    Under the enormous baster Devilsnake, the Azure Trench Serpent looked negligible and weak. Even Leylin could not help but feel pity for him.


    ......


    Leylin’s opponent escaping was a signal to the others. After seeing theirrade flee, the rest of the Morning Star guards were prompted to n their escape too, and the governor of Elias was no exception.


    A rank 4 beast spirit master on top of being a rank 4 Sacrificer, he could unleash the full power of Morning Star. If not for Bayrk, the fight would’ve been much easier for him. Unfortunately, this giant Elder Eye set his eyes upon him the moment they met.


    “Let me handle him! You try to block the other Nefarious Filthbird followers!” The Elder Eye’s soul force radiated outwards, and he wrapped himself and the governor uppletely.


    ;What a ruthless and vicious way to im victory!; Leylin was leftpletely speechless, and he took the initiative to retreat backwards and gave up the battlefield to others.
