After he handed the task of guarding Bleia over to the Fire Lord, Leon finally had some time to clean up the battlefield.


    The spiritual connection with Lucy had broken long ago, and the reason was unknown. Leon had a vague feeling that something was happening in the outside world.


    To prevent him from being at a loss of what to doter, Leon thought it was better to first adjust his condition to the best he could; only then would he leave this ce.


    He had took back the storage waist belt that had been taken away by Eclivel, together with all of his magical equipment. But it was a pity; since he had be an official Mage, this Apprentice Mage level equipment was no longer useful to him.


    At this moment, some rubble not far away started to roll about, revealing a short, vague figure of green.


    "Master, master! You''ve really be an Mage! This is excellent! Congrattions my master..."


    Leon looked at the goblin, whose face was kindled with joy mixed with ttering expression; he couldn''t help but be surprised. During the devastating war that had happened not long ago, the raging magic spells had nearly plowed through the entire isted inter-space. Even the bloody altar, protected by magical arrays as it was, had copsed and disintegrated. Yet, this goblin ve who didn''t have much self-protecting ability actually survived?


    It looked like this fellow also had some secrets that nobody else knew!


    With a smirk, Leon snorted coldly and said, "Go search that ce. Anything left over by those apprentices is yours!"


    "Thank you, master! Thank you..." Snox was so happy that even the voice of its cheer had changed.


    In this major war, although Snox hadn''t contributed anybative strength, just the fact that it had forced itself to disguise as Lucy was worthy of praise. Therefore, Leon waved his hand and gave the right of looting the battlefield to Snox.


    After all, the apprentice level equipment and items were no longer something of significance to him. In addition to that, there was another important task that he needed to attend to right now!


    Leon strode forward, and soon he came to a pile of rubble. An explosive fireball was thrown over, blowing away all of the wreckage and rubble, revealing a dark robe that showed signs of movement underneath.


    "ke, do you think that I''ll forget about you? It is time for us to settle the score between us!" Leon said with a cold voice.


    Since the primary enemy had been defeated, this ''ally'' who had always harbored evil intentions toward him couldn''t be spared as well.


    A Magma Fireball wrapped in raging mes was tossed onto the dark robe. The exploding elemental mes immediately ripped the cloth apart. Amidst the scorching me towering into the air, countless ck scorpions screamed, cried, and eventually burned to ashes.


    Leon focused his mind and sensed around, making sure that he didn''t leave out anything. Only then did he turn around and leave this sea of me which had turned into a miniva pool.


    At the same time, Bleia had long sucked dry thest drop of blood inside of Mage Eclivel''s body. She was now hovering in midair, three meters above the ground, fully naked, with her head buried between her knees and her arms wrapped around them. Tiny threads of crimson waves kept rippling out from inside of her body.


    The dead body of Mage Eclivel was lying t on a pile of rubble. His withered skin was clinging tightly to his bones, and not much flesh could be found in anywhere on his body. He had totally turned into a mummy.


    She had enjoyed Mage Eclivel''s fresh blood all by herself. For a vampire who lived on blood, it was definitely the rarest nourishment. It was especially true when she was at the critical moment of advancement. It had simply be the strongest aid to help Bleia be an official Mage.


    A powerful yet subtle wave of condensed air suddenly burst out from Bleia''s body. At the same time, she unfolded and stood tall, her body still in midair. She threw her head back and let out a crystal clear cry that pierced everyone''s ears.


    Her skin was silky smooth and glittering; her body was curvy and well-shaped; her fair, long legs were slim and slender; she had a pair of crimson eyes that shone like rubies; and her long, bright red hair was hanging loosely down her back... When her naked feet stepped on the ground, a red mist immediately climbed around her body.


    A few momentster, when the red mist faded away, a perfect, luxurious crimson armor had appeared on Bleia''s body. She was giving Leon a dimply smile.


    "I really have to thank you for this time. If not for this, it would have been extremely difficult for me to be an official Mage."


    "Are there any side effects?"


    "Trying to control an Mage is not something easy. When I was forming my blood core just now, I wiped away all of the restrictions on my soul. From now on, I''m considered totally free!" It was obvious that after seeding in bing an Mage, Bleia was in an extremely good mood. After she had a few words with Leon, she couldn''t bear it anymore and started to examine her transformation after the advancement.


    With just a light push of her feet, Bleia started to dash around at lightning speed and in a ghostly manner. While running around, she used her toes to kick gravel asrge as a milling stone into midair, and with a sh of her body she pierced through from the center of it.


    After she passed through it, behind her was a pile of small stones and dust.


    Leon simply picked up a broken piece of gravel and examined it. The edge was t and smooth; obviously, just in offensive strength alone, Bleia had taken a qualitative leap. There was something even more extraordinary. With just a gentle squeeze, the broken gravel shattered and turned into dust that fell to the ground. It was corroded by Bleia''s Blood element energy and crumbled with a squeeze!


    Bleia''s body flickered and shed around. Her soft and agile body actually left behind numerous vague afterimages in the air. Sometimes she would transform into a tiny bat and fly inches above the ground; sometimes she would transform back into human shape and run at high-speed. At the same moment, there were six to seven afterimages of different postures appearing in the scene; each of them looked so real and condensed, no one could differentiate which was real and which was just an afterimage.


    Taking the opportunity, while Bleia was examining her overall strength, a blue light flickered within Leon''s dark eyes. Very soon, he had gathered enough data.


    As a result, thetest of Bleia''s body attributes after bing an Mage were projected into Leon''s mind.


    "Bleia. First Grade Bloodline Mage. Vampire. Expert in Blood Element. Strength – 2.6, Agility – 4.7, Physique – 2.6, Spirit – 0.7."


    While reading through Bleia''s data, Leon''s mind was fully filled with envy.


    Without the help from the transformation of the me Fiend, his body attributes were in no wayparable with Bleia. Although Bloodline Mages only mastered few magic spells, they owned an intrepid body that could perfectly match their magic spells.


    It was fortunate that Leon still had the backup of his golems; or else, if he was to fight Bleia alone, there wouldn''t be any advantage left for him!


    Since Bleia had seeded in her advancement, there wasn''t any real reason to keep staying in this isted inter-space. Leon called Bleia and Snox, held their hands with each hand, and walked toward the edge of this space.


    While walking, a burning hot me started to emerge from Leon''s body. After bing an Mage, Leon was more proficient in controlling Fire Elementium. Under hismand, a glowing red fire pir hit the spatial barrier, and very soon it melted out arge hole that allowed them to pass through.


    Though the fire pir radiated a frighteningly high-temperature, it didn''t bring any harm to Bleia and Snox, who were standing so close to it. Judging from this alone, one could tell that Leon had made significant progress in his Fire element innate talent.


    As for where exactly this iste inter-space was located, none of them had any idea. But presumably, as Mage Eclivel wanted to obtain the enhancement provided by the Swampy Tower, it was impossible for him to build it in a remote ce. It was certainly still within the boundaries of the Magical Swamp.


    When they melted through the barrier and squeezed out from the secret space, they found themselves standing inside of the earth.


    Leon closed his eyes and sensed for a brief moment. Their current location was merely twenty meters below the surface. After telling Bleia about it, Leon''s body exploded into a ming torch and shot right up into the soil.


    Right after they disappeared from the scene, some changes suddenly happened within the emptied and quiet, secret underground space.


    After Leon and others had cleaned up this ce, besides the rubble that was scattered all over the ground, the only thing left was the extremely frightful looking dried corpse of Mage Eclivel. However, right after Leon''s aura disappeared, thergest pile of rubble found in the center of the secret space suddenly copsed. A swarm of ck scorpions burst out from within.


    Compared to when they were at their peak, there were less than one hundred of these ck scorpions left. It was indeed miserable. Right at the heart of these scorpions, on the back of a ck bug who looked bigger and stronger than others, a miniature face of ke actually showed up.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Looking at the edge of this secret space starting to copse slowly as the integrity of the structure was damaged, Worm controller ke let out a hateful bug cry.


    "Trying to kill me? Leon, you''ll never seed in your lifetime. Hmph, since you don''t want this dried corpse, it will serve as my war trophy. Once I swallow it and be an Mage, it will also be the end of your happy days!"


    While roaring furiously, kemanded his bugs to cover Eclivel''s remains.


    Soon, the only sound left in the scene was the dreadful noise of biting and crunching!


    ...


    The once mysterious and gruesome Magical Swamp had nowpletely turned into a real death zone.


    Covered by the thick fog, a fireball suddenly soared up high into the sky and exploded from within an abandoned garden located in a remote corner.


    The fireball came in fast, and it faded away just as quickly.


    When the me dispersing in all directions finally vanished into thin air, three strange figures of different heights appeared from the center of the fireball.


    Because it was the first time he had tried the Fire Teleportation, Leon still didn''t have a precise control over the distance. As a result, the position where the trio appeared was ten meters above the ground.


    For Bleia, hovering in midair was a piece of cake; but obviously, it was a different story for Leon.


    Therefore, a faint cry was heard, as Leon took Snox with him and fell to the ground like a heavy rock.


    On the ground, a Baby Demon was dragging its body and wandering around aimlessly, but it was suddenly frightened and startled by the fireball that exploded over its head. Just as it was staring nkly at the few bizarre figures who had suddenly appeared, their bodies started to grow bigger and bigger while moving closer to it...


    The Demon Baby let out a sharp cry as it woke up, and prepared to run away from where it had stopped. But it was toote!


    In the next few seconds, a muffled boom burst out, as Leon fell andnded steadily on the ground, throwing up a huge amount of dust.


    "Garden of Whispers! It is surprising that Eclivel actually built the secret space underneath the Garden of Whispers. Surely he was secret enough!" Bleia gradually descended beside Leon. Her crimson eyes were cast over to the Swampy Tower, barely visible within the misty fog in the far distance.


    As both of them were exchanging nces and puzzled over the quietness surrounding this ce, light and shadow suddenly shed through their eyes and their heads started to feel dizzy. In just a brief moment, they actually reappeared back inside the fifth floor of the Swampy Tower. In front of them was an old man, d in a ck robe, who had a cold and arrogant expression.


    "Both of you have made the breakthrough and be Mages? Where is that Eclivel?"


    Though he didn''t say much, the terrifying pressure of a high-grade Mage instantly startled Leon and Bleia, and Snox simplyid t on its stomach on the floor, trembling violently without being able to stop.


    He was a Second... Second Grade Mage!


    ...
