NOVPUBThe box in front of him was an massive arsenal of spells.
Leon searched them in trance like state. These spells were mouth watering.....there was a big difference between these spells and the ones Leon had been using previously.
The ones he was using before like the wind snake arrows spell was a snake variety spell. It was one that Leon could use just because it was in the snake variety but one from the BloodSerpent variety was much more potent and intoned to his bloodline.
The power output was completely eclipsed that of spells that were only related to the BloodSerpent bloodline.
"This one....." Leon said while looking at a spell manual its description appeared on the system interface.
[ BloodSerpent work: BloodSerpent extensions — this spell enables the user to grow snake like appendages from his back, these extensions not only increase the battle prowess of the user, they also contain Blood poison that can severely weaken opponents over time.
Note by Liana: this is an auxiliary spell and can be used in joint with other spells.
]
This spell had been used ones before on Arian by the fourth elder of the blood serpent clan. It had weakened her significantly in the past. This was not what peaked Leon’s curiosity....it was Liana’s note on the spell.
What did she mean by auxiliary spell? His question was quickly answered when he checked out the next spell from inside the stack
[ bloodserpent shield ]
A defence spell. These were one of the unique spells pioneered by the mages and were later recreated by the warlocks. Even though the mages were usually 1 step ahead the warlocks were constantly following them right behind.
[ description: using life-energy to create a blood shield cam be stacked depending on the amount of life-energy and bloodline power sent into the spell
Note by Liana—the auxiliary spell BloodSerpent extensions can but used enjoined with the BloodSerpent shield to extend range of shield and also creates space to create more spells behind shield]
"Ah....this Is awesome" Leon smiled while reading through all the spells in hand frantically.
Meanwhile
"What is your name again?" Liana looked over at gunta and asked with curiosity. The kid was a member of the blood serpent clan too.
"Ahhh, gunta." Gunta bowed, this was the first time in his life that the matriarch had ever referred to him. He couldn’t help but feel nervous by this.
"Your family name?" Liana looked curious, she had never noticed anyone like gunta in the clan....this was one of the issues of being the clan head. She was just too busy to keep track of every member of the clan even though he really wanted to.
The situation now had showed her that she needed to actively make connections with the clan members. If she was like this from the beginning instead of scheming all the time they might still be togather. For the future she had to change.
"Ahh, this one’s parents died a long time ago, even the name is too old.....Asther" gunta shook his head and said. Most of his street smarts were born from the fact that he didn’t have anyone to relay on all of his life. He was a street rat through and through....
"Ohh, you’re the kid" Liana was momentarily stunned. A long time ago Liana had cripped another blood manipulation magic user in the clan. It was one of the points the first elder had used to sow discord in the clan against her.....this person was named Asther.....Gunta was his son.
"Hm? What do you mean?" Gunta asked...did the matriarch know him?
"I knew your father once, I had no idea that he died" Liana shook her head. The kid was just as dodgy as his father if not more.....she was amazed.
"Ohh, really that’s awesome!!!" guntas eyes glowed with excitement, the matriarch knew his father, was his story about to take a turn? Were his father and the matriarch secret lovers? Was he the matriarchs love baby.
The excitement on his face creeped the matriarch out, she didn’t know why he was so excited about meeting the person that crippled his father.
Of course, Gunta didn’t know that she had done this. Even though the first elder used this fact to cause her troubles, he never let gunta know the situation.
"Let me see your hand" Liana stretched her hand forward and took gunta’s hand. Then she pressed hard as if trying to feel his pulse.
"Ahhh be gentle mommy" gunta blushed like a 5 year old who was embarrassed by his mom holding his hand in public.
"Huh??" These words shocked Liana as she stared at gunta blankly. The kid was having fantasies about her?
"Nothing" gunta quickly shut his mouth and let the matriarch do her thing. A few minutes later she frowned.
But this frown didn’t last long as it quickly changed into a bitter smile. He was one of them.
Someone blessed with Blood manipulation magic. It was only a hunch because it wasn’t really a fact that a manipulation magic user could give birth to another manipulation magic user. It was genuinely a surprise.
"Hehe, fate plays tricks on us all." Liana rubbed her chin. In her search for the future of the blood serpent clan she had met a rivals son with the same potential as her.
"Come with me, I want to take you somewhere" Liana stood up and said to gunta. A talent with blood manipulation, she would be a fool to pass up the chance to groom him into a formidable force....
"Okay" gunta nodded and followed, leaving Leon to continue inspecting the spells in front of him.

The sound of horse hoofs hitting the floor resounded as a troop of horse men made their way through the undercity. Among them were men armed to the teeth with amour and spears, apparently ready for a fight.
"You guys won’t give up?" From the ceiling above a building not too far away from hideout Liana was staying, the winged devil asked randomly. Again the men of the dalriss family were here again to cause trouble for them.
"Even if we have to go through you again, we’ll get to her" at the very front of the troop an old tired voice resounded. This was Alaric. They were previously chasing after the disgraced knight, but then they got news of Liana’s Appearance so they split up. However she now had the backing of a level 4 warlock, so he had to go bring his own backer.
"Hehe, I won’t make a move old bastard, you can try your luck with the blood Demon" the winged devil shook his head. He could feel a monstrous energy not too far away from them in the person of a cloaked individual.
But so what? They also had a level 4 warlock behind them, and with Liana’s current breakthrough it would be difficult for Alaric to cause damage. In fact, he could probably be the one getting the bad end of the stick if he actually went there.
"Hmmm" Alaric’s face turned ugly.....he was confused as to why the winged devil was so lax about what was happening here. He had gone over to get someone powerful enough to counter the level 4 warlock but he didn’t care?
"Just keep it pushing, I don’t have all day" the cloaked individual at the back said forcing Alaric to ride deeper into the undercity.
A few minutes later
"They came back" inside a small dojo a man with blue hair said to Liana. At this moment, Liana and gunta were seated before the man in a respectful manner.
"Ohhhhh" looking out Liana noticed the energy signatures approaching where they were. It was the dalriss troop.
They were here again after bringing bigger guns from the household.
"Make sure they don’t come Back here again.....you now have the tools to do so" the man with blue hair said to Liana. He wouldn’t make a move, he was a level 4 warlock and even though the others had their own level 4. There was no need for him to get directly involved.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeee"
From out of nowhere an ear piercing scream resounded following which.
—Boom!!!!!
Liana appeared in the sky and went directly at Alaric. Her face had changed, eyes were bloody and her fingers were elongated. He had used the bloody death parade skill from the very beginning.
"What the....." Noticing Liana barrel towards him. Alaric immediately pulled out a sword.
But
—Clang
—Clang
—Clang
It was too late, Liana was already on him and even managed to push him into the sky where they continued their battle
While they fought, the cloaked level 4 mage floated into the dojo where the level 4 warlock was seated.
"Cane" the blue haired man said before placing a cup of tea on the floor.
" Bartholomew" the cloaked individual nodded and took his seat.
