....

*Clang! Dong!*

The sound of gears turning could be heard as he turned the key.

The sound was weak at the start, but it got stronger after that. Finally, the entire hall was filled with sounds of gears coming into contact with each other.

*Creak!*

Streaks of cracks appeared on the black metal door. After a few cracks appeared, it rapidly separated into countless little black metal pieces. The black metals flew to the sides, revealing the scene of the Experiment Lab #1.

Corpses! What Leylin could only see was countless white human bone remains.

The densely packed bones were layered, forming a small mountain of white bones.

After that, a rotting odor that had been there for many years, accompanied by the scent of death, rotten flesh and negative energy particles that were so dense and couldn't be separated, turned into a black wave rising forth towards the three of them.

This was the Experiment Lab #1 inside the secret plane of the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect. It actually formed a scene of the massacre of numerous people.

A black light flashed from Leylins body to confront the huge, energy-filled wave, making him happily gulp in a few mouthfuls of air.

This was the best environment for someone like a dark Magus that specialized in the cultivation of Darkness energy particles! Not only would the consumption of his spiritual force and magic power be lower when casting his spells in this environment, but the degree of power his spells could produce would be slightly stronger.

"Yes...This is what I wanted, this is what all of this has been about!"

Leylin greedily sucked in a mouthful of air and he currently was just staring fixatedly at the mountain of white bones with excitement shown in his eyes.

"Come out"

Leylin commanded and all of the snakes from the ring of despots quickly left it, slithering away from it.

Leylin looked at all of snake and focused on the Pure Blood Essence that is embedded in its head, commanding them with his will.

Refining of Pure blood essence is a natural process for Leylin, as time passes his physique accumulates this product by itself. Outside resources and Leylin advancements further accelerate this. This Pure blood essence is a more concentrated and pure form of his bloodline, this can enhance his strength to another level. As he climbs up in rank, his purity of Essence also evolves.

Throughout this year, Leylin has focused mainly on accumulating his essence force. He is very clear of the fact that Gargamel is an entity with strength rivaling or even surpassing of New Rank 2 Magus right now.

But his strength should not have reached Rank 3, Leylin with his current strength doesn't fear a Rank 2 Magus, although he cannot manifest his spiritual force, his raw strength and boost in ability after burning his Pure blood essence is remarkable.

Leylin climbed up, using the white bones as his path. All the snakes were crawling behind him.

*Crack!*

The white bones that had existed for an unknown period of time crumbled into powder under his steps, forming an extremely thick layer.

Leylin surveyed his surroundings.

At the bottom of this mountain of white bones, its perimeter was the largest and had the most number of bones, but the majority of them were ordinary human bones. There were very few Knight ranked bones.

Following the climb up, there appeared to be Knight ranked bones everywhere, even a Grand Knight's bone.

When he was halfway up the mountain, it was completely filled with Knight and Grand Knight's bones. There were even some acolytes' bones.

A Magus's body had a certain concentration of radiation. It was easy to see that even from the bones.

As he neared the summit, there were numerous official Magi's corpses!

At the summit, there were often partially rotten corpses and the robe on them could be seen distinctly. Some weren't rotten as much so they looked as though they were just sleeping.

Moreover, from the radiation emitted from the remnants of the ancient magicians, it was way beyond that of the acolytes.

At the current position, the mountain of white bones had become a mountain of corpses. He had already reached the peak of the mountain of white bones.

Here, it was completely deserted except for the white altar at the peak of the mountain.

If one looked closely, it could be seen that the altar was made entirely out of human bones. These bones emitted energy fluctuations that far exceeded that of a rank 1 Magus and below, and just the aura made the air stifling.

On some bones that were wider, there were strange runes handwritten in blood.

Even though the runes had existed for over five thousand years, the blood was bright red and still looked fresh, as if ready to drip to the ground.

They were arranged in a strange manner and seemed to form a map.

Leylin knew that this is the map around the areas in the secret plane, he immediately got the A.I. Chip to record everything down.

At the very center of the altar, there was an odd skull used as a sacrifice.

The skull was similar to that of a human's skull, but on the cranium, there were two black, bent horns like that of a goat.

"Go!" He commanded the snakes via his consciousness.

"Hisss!"

All seven left in seven different direction, on their heads were glowing a crimson, diamond-shaped crystal. All of the snakes hissed together and shattered the crystals. A crimson screen emerged from the fragments of the crystal, and encased the area encompassed by the spell formation.

These crimson crystals which were Leylins Blood essence was actually embedded with single-use spell formations. He has crafted magical formations on them and used the burning energy released to empower it.

Seeing that all arrangements have been made, he produced a fragment of a piece of parchment and threw it towards the altar. He had already fixed up a defensive formation around the spirit altar!

"Activate"

Suddenly the crimson formation was connected with the defense formation around the altar.

This is the core of the secret plane. After borrowing a portion of its strength, it's impossible to break through this defensive formation unless ones power has reached such heights that they able to destroy this entire secret plane.

Upon coming into contact with the altar, the yellowed fragmented piece of parchment burst into flames.

These flames were a light yellow and extremely pure. They started off as small as a bean and gradually crept to engulf the entire parchment, the flames turning light blue.

At the same time, the altar seemed to come to life and began to tremble.

From the gaps between the bones of the altar, fresh red blood trickled down. Dark rays were emitted from the eye sockets of many skulls.

"Gargamel?!" Leylin's eyes were focused as he look at the awakening of the being worshipped by the Ancient Spirit Slaying Sect, they believed that a spirit was the last resting place for all beings, and the Gargamel was the one in charge of all these spirits!

*Weng Weng!*

An ancient devil was awake once more.

An aura that caused one's heart to palpitate in fear arrived on top of the mountain of white bones.

Ice-cold! Evil!

Just with the leakage of this aura, the secret plane vibrated slightly.

A vast amount of black gas converged and gradually solidified, forming a gigantic translucent figure.

The figure brought the skull on top of the altar to its face, treating it as a mask. Its two completely red eyes seemed to be looking down on everyone as if they were mere ants.

"Jiik!" The black figure bellowed towards the heavens.

With the tremendous sound waves, the black defensive spell formation that Leylin formed was instantly shaken but still held on, repairing itself at a phenomenal speed.

The black shadow atop the altar looked his way, he could clearly feel an extremely vicious and unyielding spiritual force completely locking him down.

"Who are you? What is the meaning of this?" Gargamel bellows towards Leylin, since he has just awakened and has received no offering, he is still in a weakened state yet his strength should have been able to shatter this formation. Seeing this defensive formation incorporated by the presence of coldness and decisiveness in Leylin's eyes, he had a dreadful foreboding.

"Hello! Gargamel, My name is not important. My presence before you is not important. The reason behind this formation is not important. The only thing worth knowing in this cruel and detestable world, is that I am the hunter and you are the prey." Leylin calmly stated, as he made several hand gestures and incantations.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO, FILTH!!?" Gargamel screamed in a devilish voice as he released his stifling and titanic spiritual force, immediately attacking the formation.

*Boom*

Suddenly the ebony formation changed into a hue of crimson red and a nauseating blood smell permeated throughout the Hall.

Gargamel looked to a humongous amount of energy released from Leylin's body channeling through the formation, his hair and eyes have changed into scarlet and his strength was increased to another level.

"For all of your life, you have devour and destroyed other, feeding off of them becoming stronger, mocking their measly strength before you but when tables are turned you are no different. This is just the world we live in, strong has the right to do as they wish towards those weaker than them, till now you have enjoyed being on that side, now you will have a chance to get first-hand experience of being on the victim"

"A.I. Chip, initiate the command" Leylin thought in his head as he stared at the efforts of Gargamel trying to break the defense.

[Beep! customized Ten Thousand Spirits: Hades' Sacrificial Rites initiating]

"Woo woo"

Like the howls of a grieving spirit, or perhaps the laments of suffering, the wails of sorrow that came from the spirit sounding the Corpse mountain.

Along with the sound, tiny black runes appeared on the all around them.

These runes twisted here and there like little tadpoles or stretched out snakes, seeing to be very mysterious and strange.

The runes assembled and eventually formed a large-scale spell formation.

The spell formation had quite a wide range and included basically the entire mountain.

Streams of black light constantly combined, these black streams arranged themselves and immediately filled in the craters!

This massive spell formation had been immediately activated!

Along with the sound of wails, milky-white and dull red rays began to appear and shine all around the defensive formation surrounding Gargamel.

"Spirits! This is a spell formation that specifically targets the spirits of boundless grievance and somehow it's also collecting all of the elemental energy here! "

Gargamel immediately yelled, "Where have I seen this before..."

These white and red spots seemed to be attracted by an immense force and shot towards the surface of the crimson light screen at the center of the spell formation.

*Tss tss!*

The spirits dissolved into the crimson screen the moment they touched it.

As the number of spirits that it absorbed increased, the reddish layer became darker until, in the end, it became a dark red large-scale defensive spell formation.
