"Testing my strength?"
Leylin chuckled coldly: "If that's really the case, then I'll have to kill you, then imprison your soul and burn it for ten thousand years!"
The frigid tone of his words seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop noticeably.
"Hehe... Big brother, I was just joking with you! This time, it was definitely an accident! An accident, okay!"
Melinda switched again, this time to a sweet, childish female voice.
"And, to make up for it, Melinda has prepared a very nice gift for you! Open the Planar Gate!"
"A gift?"
Leylin's brow furrowed slightly, but he still quickly arrived at the Planar Laboratory and opened the Planar Gate. Light like blue flames formed a spatial corridor.
Regarding Melinda, Leylin maintained a high level of wariness, so the Planar Stone energy and spell formulas he input could only pass through inanimate objects. If any foreign energy or even Spiritual Power tried to intrude, the corridor would immediately close.
However, this time Melinda didn't seem to be playing any tricks. A square black box was directly transmitted through.
Although each activation of the Planar Gate was enormously costly, this convenient method of transporting materials was very popular within the Central Continent, especially within Dawn Star Space of the Warlock Alliance.
The black box was covered in numerous seals. Leylin glanced at them casually; they appeared to be some kind of preservation spell formula and ice runes.
"Whoosh!" With a single breath blown out, the runes on the surface of the black box cracked inch by inch, and the lid opened automatically, revealing the contents inside. A bloody smell wafted out.
"Huh? This Wizard?"
Inside the black box was unmistakably a Wizard's head! Moreover, Leylin was very familiar with this Wizard – it was the leader who had attacked him in the Dark Northern Domain! A Full Moon rank Radiant Moon wizard, and the only one who had ever escaped from his grasp.
"Not only the face, but the soul fluctuations match as well!" Leylin nodded after seeing the scan results provided by the Chip.
For a Wizard, forging such flesh tissue would certainly be very simple, but the soul aura lingering around the head, along with the unwillingness and resentment, were extremely difficult to replicate.
"Hehe... How is it? This Wizard is called Marlier, and he was the Flame Throne's number one loyal dog! It took me a great deal of effort, and I had to wait for the Flame Throne to go out before I could finally eliminate him! Now Melinda presents this gift. Is big brother satisfied?"
"Satisfied! I am very satisfied!"
Leylin made a casual gesture, and Marlier's head floated directly into mid-air. The resentment on his face was vividly real, surpassing even the wailing of ten thousand wronged souls.
Dark Wizards could extract a great deal of information from fresh brain tissue. Although Marlier was a Radiant Moon, he could not escape this fate after death.
"This time, the other party delivering this gift probably also carries a meaning of intimidation, doesn't it?"
Being able to kill a Full Moon rank Wizard, even if not from the Dawn Throne, was not far off.
Leylin had long known the other party was not simple. Now, upon being reborn, she already possessed strength at the fifth rank, and was even capable of killing Marlier. Although this was partly because Marlier had been severely injured by Leylin before, it was impossible to ignore Melinda's immense power!
"I'll admit it — you're qualified to work with me now!"
Countless black flames rose from Leylin's hands. Marlier's head slowly melted within the dark fire until not a trace remained.
"Hee hee! I knew you were the best, big brother! Hmm! Wait — she's about to come out!"
The girl's voice suddenly grew more mature: "Little Wizard! We meet again!"
"Great — another case of split personality!" Leylin mentally rolled his eyes. "Cut to the chase. What exactly do you want me for?"
"Slaughtering the Throne of Flames — interested?" The witch's voice on the other end was blunt.
But this time, Leylin didn't deflect like he had before: "Yes! But we don't have enough strength!"
"I know the Throne of Flames' weaknesses, and when it's at its most vulnerable! On top of that, I'll be bringing along a few more friends..."
Melinda on the other end appeared extremely confident — clearly, she possessed extraordinary knowledge about the Throne of Flames and a wealth of intelligence.
"If that's the case, why come to me? Wade and Orfe should be interested in this proposal too, shouldn't they?"
Leylin voiced his doubts.
"Because you're the strongest warlock in the Bloodline Alliance! Besides, once the Throne of Flames falls, we'll all reap enormous rewards. It'd be a shame to split that among too many people..."
