"No, Master we have been very careful so far. I made sure to not leave behind any information about our appearance or scent, and we did not even use an airship!" Lancy stated, " Before coming I also went to the Kobold tribe in the Forgotten Land. We successfully extracted the blood essence from the stronger ones, rank 3 or above! We weren't able to take some live specimen due to lack of time but we marked their location."
The Kobolds has the great giant dragon bloodline, and Leylin was very interested in this. He ordered them to mark their habitant but she unexpectedly brought a few samples.
"Very well!" Leylin nodded. "Tell me how did everything go?"
Leylin brushed Lancy's hair behind her ear and asked while running his rogue hands all over her body.
"Master!" Lancy looked at Leylin with a slightly bashful expression, even after being with him for so long she still feel the same way each time Leylin touches her.
"Go on ahead, explain." Leylin asked as he stuffed his hands inside her robe touching her bare body enjoying her marshmallow like soft skin.
"After going there, with the help of Dark Elven Crown, we were able to sneak inside rather easily. The search teams of Magus of various parties hasn't explored the pocket dimension since they were more focused about fighting each other in a three way deadlock. Contributing to this, everything was untouched. Taking Masters advice and notes about the ways to explore the area, I was able to get inside rather easily. After collecting all the most important data and major experiment logs about the bloodline combination and merging meeting the top priority criteria. We set off to the ecological area to gather various bloodline samples from the mutated creatures and finally set our sights on the Blood Vulture nest." Lancy explained without showing any arousal feeling but her face was turning more red with each sentence. Finally Leylin stopped teasing her and sat down listening to her attentively.
Leylin has given the Magic Artifacts, Dark Elven Crown which he got from the Twilight Zone. This is an amazing treasure capable of masking ones presence although it has a rather long cool down period but Leylin with his mystery in alchemy as well his vast knowledge could find a way to quicken this process at the expense of some valuable resources. This proved to be a great choice as Lancy team infiltrated the pocket dimension without any problem.
Lancy looked at the calm Leylin with a slightly blaming and also a bit disappointed gaze but quickly recompose herself, "*Ahem* After finding the location of the blood vulture, I released almost all of the Blood servant that my Lord prepared creating a huge ruckus and amidst that we were able to ransack various nest working our way to the Blood vulture king nest who was lured away by the Blood servants. Honestly if it weren't for my Lords insight about the Vulture feathers ability to hide bloodline treasures arua underneath the nest in the front, I would have missed it. Although I could feel that there was something there, in that instant it would have been very difficult to rely on my prophetic ability to do anything. Afterwards we retreated quickly and also took 'that'." Lancy explained with a bit of fear in her eyes as she explained the last part.
The Blood servant are a kind of clone spell created by Leylin, but they actually have a good fighting prowess too. The preparation of such a clone is very difficult and taxing since the core ingredient is his 'Pure Blood Essence', the power hidden in his blood is extremely explosive and even through Leylin couldn't use it to it's fullest until he reaches Morning Star Magus level, it's power cannot be denied. Leylin used his accumulated Pure Blood Essence to create 30 Blood Servant each with the ability to match a Rank 3 Magus for a little bit and release a entrance level Rank 3 spell. Although it isn't much it's a remarkable feat and a horrifying scene when they all attack together. Leylin is simply unmatched at the Crystal Phase his prowess is so out of reach that it's perverted. Leylin gave all of these Blood servant to Lancy in order to achieve a guaranteed success.
"Right here!" Lancy spoke lightly as a large reddish black box appeared on the table with a swish of her hand.
Seeing the box, Leylin gave a look of satisfaction. He opened the box, in which was a thick layer of soft white fur.
This was the King Blood Vulture's feathers. It contained the miraculous ability to conceal a bloodline's aura.
After brushing these white feathers aside, the energy waves of many bloodline treasures radiated out.
A mountain of bloodline crystals and many strange bones, as well as fruits, rhizomes and such containing the power of bloodlines, were piled up messily, as if they were not of any monetary worth.
However, deep inside, Lancy knew that once these items were revealed, it would greatly impact the Ouroboros Clan. Every single item in there could make a high-ranked Warlock go crazy!
Leylin looked at the pile of bloodline treasures, with an unmasked pleasure. Among the many bloodline energy waves, a fingerbone lay there quietly, yet majestically like a king. It made the other treasures seem less appealing.
Lancy stared at the fingerbone with fear apparent on her face, she took great caution into directly stashing this item inside since Leylin warned her about the severe consequences, "Master, What is this thing?"
Evidently, the aura of the fingerbone made her uncomfortable.
Even though it was just the remains of a creature, it had the power to make her so uncomfortable. How powerful could the living creature have been?
Lancy fixed her eyes on Leylin. Praise and admiration in her eyes, his preparation is so astute that's it's mind blowing.
"The Lamia fingerbone!" Surprisingly, Leylin answered the question directly.
"Tower genie, keep these items safely!" Leylin picked up the fingerbone and ordered the small dark elf beside him.
"Yes, my master!" The small elf held its chest and bowed. After that, a mechanical puppet walked over and took the black box to be stored in the treasury.
"Lancy, come with me. I have a need for your prophetic ability later on!" Leylin called out to Lancy with a downcast face.
Lancy looked at his reaction and touched his face, "To be of use to my Master is my greatest pleasure. Be sure that I would do my best."
Leylin nodded as his face become serious, "Okay, so here it is, I have now gained the ability to conduct my own cosmic experiment and I need to find a world which could accommodate my needs before breaking through to Morning Star so, I would need you to use the prophetic skills to find the best time for me to start and also shed some light on the direction. Don't worry I would definitely not let anything happen to you."
Lancy nodded with acceptance, this is an extremely dangerous thing. Her ability is not strong enough to make such a guess in fact even Morning star Magus specialist in divination couldn't do such a thing recklessly because the risk is too much.
Leylin could only enable her to seer while using the Magus Tower to strengthen her ability but the consequences could be very dire. Leylin is sure that he can protect her life but, even if she doesn't face any unforseen circumstances, this could lead to severe injuries.
"I am ready." Lancy spoke with determination. Leylin nodded and waved his hands asking her to follow him.
Subsequently, he brought Lancy all the way down to the room binding room before he came to a stop.
Powerful binding runes, energy-isolating runes, the power of corrosion, the weeping of vengeful spirits, gravity runes…
Lancy looked at the runes on the walls as her fascination. With so many binding spells, along with Leylin using them even, multiple Crystal Phase Magus, would have difficulties struggling their way out.
This is only set up in case of an emergency. The astral plane is filled with all kinds of strange creatures. A little more preparation never hurts!
"Let's settle this first before we begin! " Leylin spoke as a light shone from his right hand, the Lamia fingerbone in Leylin's hand immediately appeared at the center of the bindings. A strong sluice gate made of reinforced glass dropped and the many runes began to flicker.
The Lamia fingerbone lay there silently like a dead creature.
Lancy held her breath. She knew that Leylin was probably going to show her something unusual.
"Tower genie, begin first-level operations of the bindings!"
Following Leylin's orders, the circle of lights in the binding room lit up all at once. An invisible power lifted the Lamia fingerbone.
"Start purification!" As per the tower genie's emotionless command, two small lightning clouds grew above the bone, streaks of lightning crackling as they burst towards it.
Under the lightning, the white fingerbone appeared to be unaffected. However, Leylin had a straight face, with an expression as cold as ice.
After a few minutes, there was still no sign of any anomaly.
"Begin the next level of purification!"
"Authorisation verified! Inputting energy!" Upon hearing the tower genie's voice, the original two clouds began to transform immediately.
Dark, black clouds suddenly soared above the area, and the lightning acquired a subtle red hue. Thick bolts swept across the bone mercilessly, causing narrow cracks to surface on it.
Lancy looked at Leylin, thinking that if he didn't stop the fingerbone would be destroyed but his expression did not change, indicating he had no intentions of stopping.
Under the lightning that had been strengthened tens of times, the bone began to vibrate, as if it was going to explode into dust anytime.
*Ring!* Just when Lancy thought the fingerbone was about to explode, a strange scene suddenly appeared. A ring of green light burst out violently, with such a strong power radiating that it split the dark clouds apart in a second.

*Hiss!* A touch of green light emerged. It then transformed into a phantom of a young, green-haired woman, now lunging towards Leylin.
The image of the young woman was very illusory, but her face had also become a lot more complex, with rhomboidal scales. Her eyes were a sea of green and her pupils had become vertical slits.
As the Lamia's phantom swept her glance across with her pupils, Leylin's entire body emitted a terrifying undulation shaking off it's aura. The Lamia couldn't do anything as Leylin wasn't a bit effected by her suppression on his bloodline. In fact, Leylin bloodline in turn affected her a bit.
"Begin binding!" This time, the tower genie responded swiftly and gave an order.
*Bang!* A loud sound echoed as the young woman's phantom crashed into the clear reinforced glass, causing the runes to flash.
Soon after, an enormous gravitational strength emerged and pinned the woman to the ground.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* A chain of runes appeared one after another, binding the green-haired Lamia's phantom.
Leylin, looked at the Lamia with a provocative and arrogant look as he said. "That was all you could do!"
Although Leylin remained unfazed since he tried his best to overestimate the opponent, the terrifying feeling clash was still very shocking since the gap between them is very huge, at least when compared to the Lamia true body.
This suppression clash was the definite control that a high-ranked bloodline had over a low-ranked one. In face of the great gap between the ranks, all efforts were to no avail. But in front of Leylin bloodline it was all for nought.
"You dare oppose me? The Grand Matriarch will not let you off, bloodline traitor!" The green tongue of the Lamia's phantom forked as she spoke.
"What nonsense! You have failed in defeating me and now you want to scare me, this is too pathetic even for a mere remnant." Leylin talked venomously trying to keep the Lamia engage while he extract information and data from her bloodline aura.
"The Giant Kemoyin Serpent is a rank 4 creature. It needs to obey the Lamia's bloodline, which is of a higher rank. This is branded deep into the inheritance of the bloodline and is not able to be changed!" The Lamia's phantom glared at Leylin and asked, "How did you escape?"
"Escaping or embracing, I don't know for sure what path is correct but as long as you know where to search there is always an answer, and if there is not then just make one." Leylin swished his hands.
"What is this?" Lancy stared at the Lamia with a look of curiosity surfaced on her face.
"This is the former shell of the owner of the fingerbone. Currently it's just a projection of a destroyed, shattered and unwanted memory fragment!" Leylin spoke.
Leylin was using the A. I. Chip to continuously scan the Lamia and record it's data. And after a bit of time passed the Lamia spoke.
"Shall we make a trade?" The scales on the Lamia phantom's face faded, returning her face to that of a young girl. Her delicate and pretty face even enchanted Lancy, who was also female. The Lamia could see that it couldn't force Leylin so she opted to reach a truce and concede by taking a step back.
"Trade? Let me guess you want me to help find a flesh body of the Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline of a female Warlock. In return, you will offer to give me all our knowledge."
Calm words rang from the mouth of Leylin as the the phantom Lamia, felt a bad premonition from his tone.
Inheritance from an ancient rank 5 Warlock? Perhaps even Morning Star Magi would go crazy in want over this. This is obviously a great trade and the price to pay was a mere female Warlock, and with just a bit of effort, it could be found easily in the Ouroboros Clan.
But....Countless chains tightened, binding her to the spot.
"Tower genie, use all stored energy and prioritise the bindings. The aim is to exterminate this person!"
Leylin's face suddenly changed, and he made to deal the fatal blow.
Great amounts of thunder clouds were produced, lightning washing over the phantom time after time, causing her figure to become even more illusory.
"Traitor! The Grand Matriarch will not let you off! Hiss…" The phantom image eventually turned into a half-human, half-snake and hissed, her expression incomparably fierce.
Leylin's expression was resolute, constantly urging on the runes and spell formation of binding.
The inheritance from an ancient rank 5 Warlock was indeed very tempting, but Leylin had his own considerations.
The other party was merely a remnant spirit, and might even be the combination of a few memory fragments. How much could she remember? And just for this, he would have her around and let her scheme against him?
Leylin was not certain that he could win over this ancient freak, even with his superior bloodline it would be a very difficult struggle to fight for supremacy against her. In the beginning, he tried to use his Purple Demon Eyes to the fullest but he later figured that the risk was too much.
Leylin was genuinely tempted and initially wanted to get the remnants memories but through his little clash he could slightly seer that she doesn't have lots of locks on her memory fragments which indirectly means she has not much knowledge emerging from the Original Lamia. He could also see the presence of a malevolent suicide like techniques which could harm him severely if he were to devour her fragments and she decides to choose mutual destruction. Ancient Magi have too many methods. He wouldn't dare bring a disaster waiting to happen along with him at all times.
Leylin stared at the Lamia phantom behind the glass, with a slightly regretful look in his eyes which turned into a determined gaze. "Maximise power!"
[Runes of binding operating at excess of 120% capacity. This is the most powerful attack.]
Along with the tower genie's voice, a streak of thick red lightning struck the phantom.
*Rumble!* The Magus Tower began to tremble, and fine cracks began to appear in the binding area.
The phantom image of the Lamia seemed to have given up all hope as she dissipated to nothingness under the red lightning.
*Pak!* A fingerbone with cracks all over its surface fell to the ground.
As he spoke, the tower genie constantly scanned the fingerbone in the binding room, streams of electric light moving across its surface.
[Level 1 scanning complete. No remnant spiritual force found.] [Level 2 scanning complete. No abnormal reactions found.] [Level 3 scanning complete. Confirmed total extermination of remnant spirit of Lamia.]
Red, green and blue rays shot out and scanned the fingerbone to and fro, not missing any spots.
A streak of blue flashed in Leylin's eyes, and he waited till the A.I. Chip gave the final confirmation before he issued the command, "Open up the protective layer!"
*Shoo!* The tempered glass split apart. Bathed in milky-white light, the slightly cracked fingerbone floated to Leylin's hand.
Though it looked like a mere fragmented bone, Between the suppression of the other bloodline the rejoicing of his Giant Kemoyin Serpent bloodline told Leylin that the moment he digested this bone, his bloodline would become so pure it would be unimaginable, and might even be able to help him advance!
If not for the isolation by his Magus Tower, he would not dare take it out now.
Leylin glanced at the data recorded by the A.I. Chip.
Though it was just some physical contact with his skin and the waves and energy radiation from the fingerbone, it had the legendary effect of Lamia Hair, allowing Leylin's bloodline to mature by a large amount. This is a great bloodline treasure indeed, even with his deviation Leylin could see that it would have great usage to him.
Leylin touched his chin and ordered the tower genie, "Keep the Lamia fingerbone well. Store it based on all procedures for special grade 1 materials."
[Understood, master.]
The little dark elf quickly took the Lamia fingerbone and vanished.
There was no other way around it. Bloodline Warlocks were extremely sensitive to this type of item. If Leylin brought it with him, not counting Lucian and the others, Gilbert would definitely sense it.
The only way was to make use of the powerful energy isolation abilities of the Magus Tower and conceal the undulations from its aura.
After taking care of all these matters, Leylin looked back and revealed a kind smile to Lancy, "Alright, Lancy let's begin!"
