....

Half a month after Leylin and Lita left the Scarlet Crescent Ruins it was concluded by various High ranked Magus that it was completely closed. The coordinates have all become invalid, and it has possibly undertaken a spatial jump.

With the directions from the notebook, Lita had managed to find Leylin and hand over everything as they made their respective escape, unharmed through a spatial path that had opened up. They skipped being involve in the drastic changes that had taken place afterwards in the ruins and avoided unnecessary danger.

The ancient Magi from the Scarlet Crescent had left behind an Adamantine Golem in the ruins, which acted as the control centre.

This Adamantine Golem had an intelligence on par with humans, and could think like a normal human being, except that it was equipped with a program to comply with orders.

Adamantine Golem has mastered all the ancient spell formations in the ruins, it could also recharge itself by devouring Morning Star Magus point masses!

After being directed by Lita, it fought against the rank 5 warlock, and upon discovering that it couldn't defeat the rank 5 Warlock, Wayde, the Adamantine Golem immediately started attacking the other Morning Star Magi in the ruins.

Numerous ancient spell formations had surfaced, costing the other warlocks and company dearly.

In front of spell formations specially deployed by the ancient Magi, even Morning Stars were destined to fall. Two Morning Star had fallen straight away from Spirit Circle. On Wind Wolf Lair's end, One was seriously injured while another was fell directly. Even Cybel, the strongest of them all, was severely wounded.

On the other hand, Jupiter's Lightning was no better. At least half of their men suffered grave injuries, while the remaining few had superficial wounds.

After recharging through absorbing numerous point masses, the Adamantine Golem started to show its prowess. With the assistance of the many ancient spell formations, even Wayde was wounded and eventually chased out.

The other Morning Stars had to get themselves out of danger one by one. Many managed to jostle their way into a spatial crack, and was teleported to the border of the Magus world, which saved their life.

From then onwards, the Scarlet Crescent ruins vanished from Crystal Mountain. Other Magi came forth afterwards, but no matter how hard they tried to scout it out, not even a trace of the place could be found.

According to the judgment of a few specialists, the Adamantine Golem must have activated a spatial jump right after attaining sufficient energy, teleporting the ruins away.

Under such a situation, these Magi were so stunned that they could only drop the idea of going in for another round of looting.

Every participants suffered extremely and many were dead and the gains were not enough to make up the loses of the different organizations. On the surface, Lita appeared as one such person who was also mildly injured for some gains but in reality, with Leylin planning they have acquired uncountable riches. Various rare bloodline treasures, unique and mythical resources, Magic equipments, Strange items, Void Assasins and etc.

Most importantly, Leylin had his meeting with the Wisdom Tree which opened up his future paths. He knew that the guidance is the biggest gain out of everything he got. He benevolently offered various of these resources to Lita and his subordinates, taking all that caught his eyes.

The complete disappearance of the Scarlet Crescent ruins had made most of the contract that Lita signed with Warlocks organization obsolete. This is why, Leylin told her to sign without hesitation, she didn't have to redistribute what she'd obtained. when they decided upon the allocation, they had included the entire ruins as one of the most important lands. Now that they had suffered a dead loss, the agreement would naturally lose its validity as well.

As the currents passed, Leylin once again fall in a moment of seclusion. He had much to think about as Lita was once again was on the move as she travelled to Morning Star Area, an exclusive area for Warlocks for trading.

Leylin settled in the headquarters, right inside the main tower, he was the only one except for Lita allowed inside. As Lita's fiancee no one could stop him. He was there personally conducting all of the left over experiment especially taking over the Sun Child's bloodline revitalization.

Leylin other subordinates were busy as they take on various responsibilities, Leylin gave all of their commands of station to Lita, who used them as loyal assistants. They were supervising the construction of two Morning Star Magus Rank Magus Tower as the Oakheart Clan was busy building one for Leylin, and the other was the courtesy of the scared Warlocks families who collectively joined to build one seeing how Lita wasn't giving them any importance.

Lita travelled to the Morning Star Area and made various transactions. She purchased some top-grade meditation techniques which would help in the stimulation of next level of Kemoyin Pupils. She also partake in many mission to gain experience and resources. Few times, in a mission with loose conditions for joining and revolving around extermination, she invited Leylin. Leylin happily took this chance to gain some specimen and kill enemy Morning Star to devour their point mass.

...

Five years passed in the blink of an eye. The original Ouroboros Clan had now completely stabilised.

Though the other allied forces still occupied a part of the territory that had belonged to them, a larger war had not occurred. From how a few organisations were silently withdrawing their forces, the general situation was progressing positively.

Those Warlocks seemed to have forgotten their hatred from the past and the situation at Phosphorescence Swamp stabilised as they continued with their lives and research.

And yet, the subconscious bloody glint that remained in the depths of their eyes proved that the traces of the war were still present.

Or rather, the seeds of revenge were buried deep in their hearts. They were lying quietly in wait for these seeds to grow, until the day they began to thrive and became strong and healthy!

The bloodline Warlocks before led far too comfortable lives previously, particularly the Kemoyin nobility. They spent their days in their territories intoxicated, not spending any time on their Warlock training.

Thankfully, after this war, most of these vermin had disappeared, leaving behind many capable and hardworking descendants, each of them outstanding. These talents were the strengths and assets that he regarded as important.

Through these five years, Lita had extended her authority to all aspects in Ouroboros Clan. She had influenced many Warlocks of the new generation, and they completely accepted her rule, thinking it was normal for things to continue like this forever.

After so long, both Leylin and Lita Magus Tower were complete with around a few months gap. With his own participation, as well as the financial aid from the Oakheart Clan, the construction was completed firstly in Leylin Tower in Atoot Mountain, as Lita's was prepared by other Warlock families.

After the construction, Azure Mountain King tried to please Leylin as he supplied a large amount of astral stones and helped Leylin build an astral gate of his own.

Both of these Magus Tower were initiated by Leylin and were connected with the A. I. Chip. Previously, Leylin ordered Lita to find some high class information about the Magus Tower in the Morning Star Area and using that and the server of A. I. Chip, Leylin was able to connect the two Towers.

This way Leylin range to communication and command to other A. I. Chips holder was exponentially increased. He has a communicative system far surpassing others. His Magus Tower was also state of the art and extremely advanced.

Leylin was very content with them, his previous Magus Tower was given to Lancy, who has made remarkable progress in her Warlock path. With the resources given to her, and her previous experience in breakthrough she had no problem to reach Rank 3 again.

Meanwhile Anna has been able to complete the construction of various hidden teleportation circles throughout the central continent leading to the Mt. Asura but in order to connect the Twilight Zone, they would need to travel there which isn't possible for a lower rank Magus than Rank 4. This is of course until the dormant period reappears. Leylin would make a trip later because currently he has other works to take care off.

Inside the headquarters, Lita Magus Tower.

The hall of the Magus Tower. There were brilliant lights and vibrant colours everywhere. A few high-ranked Warlock maids who were lucky enough to be selected to enter the Magus Tower were tense as they worked busily, laying the long dining table with intricate gold and silver cutlery, candles, and the like.

While everything was completed with nervousness, they were dismissed as Lita hugged Leylin and hold his hand.

"Leylin, When would we marry?" Lita asked in a childish persistence as she hugged him tighter and looked in his eyes.

Leylin smiled and kissed her vigorously wrestling her tongue. After a while, he let her go and hold her chin up to match her eye level, "There is no rush, I am already not much liked in the clan. What do you think would happen when I marry you, you would be ridiculed throughout the central continent."

"Hmph! Who dares! I would just butcher them and don't make excuses, I know you don't care either." Lita looked angry as she kept looking at Leylin with a blaming expression.

"After some time, we would announce my ascension into the Morning Star Rank then we would have an extremely grand wedding ceremony. Okay?" Leylin said but then his expression turned extremely solemn and serious, "Let's discuss about the thing I told you about. Lita, make preparation we need to leave to Lava World. If we delay any longer then the first elder would be deceased and we would lose a powerful Kemoyin Duke."

Leylin has finally decided to open the coordinates and travel to the Lava world. There is much to explore there, he wasn't in a hurry previously because time flows differently in Lava World and Magus World. So, although five years have passed here only a few days might have passed since their arrival in Lava World there. Leylin would obviously not go there without proper preparation, now his Magus Tower is complete. The helpers to supervise the Ouroboros Clan while they would be away are chosen. And most importantly, Leylin has made adequate preparation to make sure the Rank 5 Radiant Moon Magus from Jupiter Lightning could not intervene.

"I should communicate with some warlock from the organization and station them here." Lita also become serious and said solemnly. She was already aware of the plans and hence, she made prior preparation in this regards. There is also Azure Mountain King, who has been given some benefits by Leylin and could be asked to look after the clan.

Leylin nodded, "Pass down the orders, ask all Crystal Phase Warlocks are to report to the meeting room and announce your wishes. I would be going to Dylan City and make preparation in my Magus Tower. We have our astral gate synchronized and we would leave together. I would take care of the interruption from Jupiter lightning."

.....

Inside the meeting Hall,

The Warlock elites were now congregated here instead of residing in their own territories. Since they were all in Phosphorescence Swamp, they could gather immediately after Lita orders were passed.

Lita reckoned that these people would not have come so fast if she didn't announce that it's related to their teachers.

"Duchess Lita!" The confused Warlocks asked upon seeing Lita dressed in her majestic robe.

"Sit down, I have something to announce!" Lita sat at the head chair. With her battle experience by taking part in various missions of Morning Star area, she had long since acquired a dignified dreadful aura that turned the meeting room solemn.

"Yes, Your Grace!" A number of Crystal Phase Magi bowed and settled down in order.

Except for Leylin, everyone was present here. After Lita ascension no one has seen Leylin much, he is most of the time inside the core of the Magus Tower which is only accessible to Morning Star Warlock. This alone made various families burn with jealousy. Many rumours and discontent is in the clan regarding his position but no one has the gut to say that in the open.

The handful of Crystal Phase Warlocks were in an upright position as the last war had caused tremendous loss to the Ouroboros Clan, and the loss of their elite forces was especially tough to recover from.

It would take at least a few hundred years for them to recover to peak condition.

Lita took a last look at the Warlocks before she spoke in a low voice, "I have come to a decision, I will set off tomorrow to rescue the Elders! Previously I had invited a Morning Star expert to find the coordinates of the dukes and I have received the response just now. "

After thinking about Lita announcement, there was a minute of pause, which then quickly recovered as excitement and joy could be seen in everyone's eyes.

Still, they did not dare to show their emotions. They kept reminding Lita not to fall for tricks.

Everyone couldn't help but take a look at the head of technical department tasked with finding the world coordinates, Schadt. A tinge of shame surfaced on Schadt's face. This incident was a humiliation to the entire technical department. They had been overconfident and bragged that they were going to solve the problem in a few days' time, but took them nearly five years. It was such a dereliction of their duty. As Lita has asked for outside help, then it means he has disappointed her thoroughly and have fallen out of favor.

"Your Grace" After all the Crystal Phase Warlocks had been dismissed, only Freya was left behind, her eyes filled with worry. Lita has given a lot of support to Blood Serpent family, if something happened to her than it would be very detrimental for them but inwardly they also wanted Blood Duchess Emma to return.

"No need to worry, just trust me, I'll bring your mentor back!" Lita gave Freya a reassuring, heart-warming smile. She is quite fond of her straight forward and good personality, it's a very hard to find trait.

Seeing Lita with such confidence, Freya felt more at ease.

After returning to the Magus Tower, Lita went straight to the astral gate and fell into deep thought.
