...

As the confrontation escalated between the Star ranks and casualties began to pile up, orders were passed down and the city was sealed. A layer of fiery-red isolation layer kept Tylasus within.

"Scarlet Eye really did have something planned. Is he trying to deal with all of us at once?" The leader of the Magi sized up the spell formation from a distance away as he floated in mid-air. Everyone was quite troubled because of the combined attack of Kemoyin Duke's, Allied Kingdom and the Altan Union befall the Mobius organization and the Divineflame empire.

These three forces were obviously in guard against each other but they have also tactfully decided to first eliminate their enemy. The emberwing race star experts were communicated by the Allied Kingdom experts as they offered to help curb the Divineflame, obviously they didn't believe them but at this moment they had no other choice.

"A fire-type isolation spell formation and the reckless assault of elite troops truly can stall us. With the attacks from others of the same rank…We are in deep trouble!"

*Rumble!* Large amounts of fire energy were emitted from the bodies of the combatants and the rest, fighting against the few Morning Stars.

Fire sparked in the sky above the capital, space itself crumbling as silver storms wreaked havoc on the land.

Seeing such a disadvantageous situation as well as the solemn expression of the Altan Union experts who were attacking without any caution or wellbeing of their own, the leader of the Morning Star Magi of Jupiter Lightning began to hesitate.

While the Star ranks of this world had fewer secret methods than Magi, if they really went all out his side could suffer a large number of casualties.

Morning Stars like them, who had been nurtured by Jupiter's Lightning through and through, were few in number. Most of their Morning Stars joined from other races, and only Zegna could keep them suppressed. In the face of great casualties to this core team, they were beginning to hesitate.

The dukes and commanders who were all veterans in battle exchanged glances, all having noticed the strange look in their opponent's eyes. At this moment they threw all caution for their temporary allies and firmed themselves to eliminate the intruders.

"Ahhh!" A sky shaking grievances filled voice wailed as Lita killed her enemy with unparalleled ruthlessness, her fighting prowess was the strongest amongst everyone present here and she was wantonly releasing all of her powers. The three Kemoyin Duke's weren't shy either as they also created quite a headache, Warlock are generally stronger than a Magus of same rank and they were showcasing their earth shattering demolition.

"The Jupiter Lightning Magus would definitely not be able to leave alive, all of us are pressing them hardly and the emberwing race star experts are more than willing to take the risk of killing them inspite of facing their last Trump card! Zegna would really cough up blood at the loss of such a force." Emma exclaimed, taking joy in his misfortune.

This was reality. Even if the Morning Star Magus leader could harden his resolve, the other Morning Star Magi might not be willing to, they are already trying to find ways to run which has weakened their resolve to stay and confront. After all, they had merely signed a contract and joined Jupiter's Lightning, and there were no rules that stated they had to give up their lives for the organisation.

When the opponent made use of this fact and displayed they were not afraid to sacrifice themselves, and that they would take their opponents down at any cost, then they would be involving themselves in a pointless fight.

"This is just the beginning of trouble for Zegna, let's make sure we do our job perfectly." Lita shook her head, stating her opinion. "The Divineflame Emperor's plan should be to kill as many Star ranks and weaken the Atlan Union as much as possible. Our objective is clearing the Jupiter Lightning with the Allied Kingdom. I believe Zegna is about to make a move!"

"You're right." Gilbert nodded to acknowledge Lita prediction after a momentary silence.

"I wonder how did Lord Kilvish infiltrated the Allied kingdom so deeply in such a short time, to actually station three of their experts here." Adam asked as he looked at Lita with a pondering expression.

"Lord Kilvish is definitely capable of amazing feat, The fight would soon turn to those experts we should complete our task." Lita stated coldly as she proceeded to attack another Morning Star Magus.

The battle pushed on and things turned very ugly. The Morning Stars were in a precarious position as their number halved. The Divineflame wasn't in a good situation either as the crazed Emberwing race was going all out. The whole battle was turning into a one sided massacre because of the interruption of outside forces, This situation drove Saka, Star ranked leader of Divineflame Empire insane, but there was nothing he could do about it.

While chaos was everywhere, one figure was eerily calm, and that was the old man commanding the ritual. The old man had an indifferent demeanor even while observing the destruction, and the total deviation of the plan created by the Mobius organization.

The formation under him was still working as an amazing scene unnoticeable by anyone played out. As the Star ranked experts and Morning Star Magus were dying one by one, and their point mass ascended to astral plane. An unique situation appeared as the old man's eye could see a certain energy being sucked from them and being driven towards the formation and straight into the Old man's body.

Similar small light dots emerged from all over the dead bodies but the quantity from a single point mass of Morning star was exceedingly higher than them combined.

The Old man looked at a certain direction towards the residential building of the Altan Union leader where all the higher ups have retreated and his eyes seems to pierce through the walls and look at the situation inside.

"I should make a move now, this is already more fruitful than I initially imagined." The Old Man voice was strangely very different to his owls like initial one, as his face suddenly changed from his vile looking old to a devilishly handsome one. This was none other than Leylin!

Leylin has actually infiltrated the Mobius organization as well and took the formation master place as at the last moment he changed the formation to his own needs. This battlefield is the best opportunity to reap good old sentient force and Leylin isn't going to waste it so, he hatched this plan and drove others to pile up the casualties as high as possible.

"I would have prefer for all of them to die but the Dukes and the Allied Kingdom has some reservation so, it understandable. Oh well I have reached peak 5 star level before coming here, and with my current sentient force accumulation even if I enter the battle and fight all the Rank 5 together, I have enough ability to escape.' Leylin thought as he decided to switch gears to next phase of the plan. Someone like him would definitely not fall in a disadvantageous situation like being encircled by three Rank 5 but there would definitely be injuries which he doesn't need to worry about since, he has a huger reservoir of sentient force.

During his wait for Holy Solar Festival, Leylin ambushed a few military camp of Altan Union as well as engaged in fighting against the Mobius organization, the most notable confrontation was against the Morning Star Magus Collins who had a lot of firesource stone in his hands which lead to Leylin rise to peak of 5 star level in Morning Star. This Collins is the same person who came to Lita Magus celebration representing Jupiter Lightning and tried to halt their astral experiment while coming to here and trap them.

'While I am at it, I should also erase some troublesome fellow." Leylin coldly smiled as he send a command to Lita.

Lita paused for just a second as she instantly relayed the orders to the Dukes, and as the last three Morning Star Magus from Jupiter lightning were about to be struck down the four Dukes used their most ruthless attack and backstab the Allied Kingdom experts called by Leylin! Two of the three died immediately as the last one which was the fat guy was fuming at their betrayal.

Leylin continued to absorb their sentient force as well, he noticed as the empty husk of point mass left to astral plane. This method of devouring isn't as effective as devouring directly by Leylin, as it is only able to absorb around 70% of total sentient force from this distance with the help of formation but he didn't mind instead Leylin turn his attention towards the sky and started moving.

A flame giant that towered into the very heavens was contending against a similarly large, terrifying phoenix. Every attack of theirs seemed to shake heaven and earth, destroying their surroundings. It seemed like the end of the world.

This was the battlefield between Scarlet Eye and his opponent, the Divineflame Emperor. In a battle between rank 5s, Morning Star Magi could not even attempt at interfering unless there were enough of them.

*SKREEEE!* And at this moment, the winner seemed to have been decided. The giant phoenix's calls sounded out as gigantic sharp claws ripped apart the elemental's breastplate to a shower of lava and fire.

"You've lost, Archibald!" Scarlet Eye's voice sounded from the phoenix's mouth. As they heard this sound, glee appeared on the faces of the Northern Duke's party. The leader that they had placed their hopes on hadn't betrayed their trust!

"Yes, I've lost," the fire elemental giant clutched at his chest, rocks falling out from the huge injury, causing earthquakes as they hit the ground.

"You really are a genius, Scarlet Eye, you've already reached the peak of rank 5… I made the right decision today. If not, you could've been the key to changing the status quo between the Divineflame Empire and the Atlan Union!"

The Divineflame Emperor's voice boomed like a thunder that rumbled throughout the heavens.

"Decision?" Scarlet Eye seemed to be confused, but immediately after the giant phoenix retreated.

However, it was too late! Large amounts of thunder clouds formed in the sky, and terrifying bolts of black lightning struck down. The dark clouds covered the skies, blocking the brilliant sun.

The lightning came together to form a lance, and a Magus suddenly appeared, gripping it.

This Magus' forehead was marked with a rune in the shape of a moon.

This horrifying black lance seemed to transcend the limits of time and space, and even the void was subdued under the tip of the lance, carrying the might of an apocalypse. This terrifying instrument of destruction appeared before the phoenix.

*Skree!* The phoenix called out, the sound this time filled with sorrow and suffering.

*Ka-cha!* As the dazzling white light formed by the collision dissipated, the Star ranks noticed that the Phoenix Scarlet Eye had transformed into had suffered a gigantic injury. Feather after flaming feather fell to the ground before bursting into intense flame. Within this fire, the feathers somehow seemed even more magnificent.

The Dukes pupils shrank as they saw this scene as Emma called out in a hateful voice, "That Magus is Zegna from Jupiter's Lightning! How did he get here?"

They obviously knew the Magus in the black robe. This Zegna had plotted to kill them but wasn't successful.

"It's not his main body, It's probably just a clone, but why does it have the undulations of a rank 5 Magus? Even if it's much weaker than before, it's still a Radiant Moon!" Gilbert looked to be distressed, evidently unable to make sense of this.

"There is no lack of miraculous ancient secret technique! A rank 5 clone is an exceptionally powerful trump card. I'm more curious about the how he deceived the Lava World's World Will and was able to sneak in successfully!" Adam said as he implied something with his eyes. Emma and Gilbert immediately understood, that Lord Kilvish is also a Radiant Moon if he can come here than others could as well. And the last part about deceiving world will is definitely something they are interested about.

Lita also felt their gaze but she continued to do her job and didn't explain that Leylin isn't a Radiant Moon, he is just a perverted demon.

"Zegna, even you betrayed me!" Scarlet Eye's voice was produced from the body of the giant phoenix, the injuries on its wings quickly regenerating.

"Esteemed leader!" Zegna, who was in mid-air, first bowed slightly to him. "Our relationship only extended to a cooperation."
