Prologue: The Summoner and Summoned
The only people permitted to wear such a robe was a Magus.
Never mind laughing. If a Magus was to order two villages to kill each other until only one person remained, the commoners must kowtowed at his feet, killed their neighbour and family without any hesitation, and thanked the gracious Lord Magus for being benevolent and merciful enough to let one of them alive. Such was the status of a Magus in Magus World.
Kendrick Rutheus was a Rank 3 Magus on the Southern Coast of Magi Continent. On the Southern Coast, a Rank 3 Magi was a king who could tyrannize without any fear of a backlash. However, the situation changed when the Farlier Bloodline had a new patriarch with a strengthened bloodline; the bloodline of the Kemoyin Serpent.
Almost there, murmured Kendrick in his heart as the entrance to his Wizard Tower became closer. However, the light in his face was crushed when the sinister hiss of a snake entered his hearing.
"Fly, my darlings!" cried the Magus in Byron Language, the language of magic.
His cry called his familiars from their slumbers. Drakes and land dragons climbed out of magic portals, roaring toward the line of trees, as if trying to show off their might to the world. Kendrick did not slow his step, however. And his decision was a correct one.
A mouth suddenly appeared out of thin air, devouring the reptile monsters in one bite. Kendrick broke into a cold sweat and cast a barrier spell when the ground in front of him suddenly moved. His intuition worked in his favour again. Moments after his barrier was put in action, a huge pair of fangs bit into the magic shield, destroying the spell instantaneously.
Heavens! That was a barrier made using condensed spiritual force! It should have taken a Magus with average aptitude at least two attacks before the spell dissipated. Kendrick's face paled as the fang retreated. From the hole in the ground, scaly black body slithered out. A blackhorral snake.
Just the vertical part of its body was enough to swallow Kendrick whole. It stood at 4 meters talls, with body and tail to spare. Kendrick knew that his countdown until his soul was sent to the astral plane had started.
No! He couldn't die like this! His face turned determined.
"Cage of Vitality!"
From the barren land, vines suddenly shot up, tangling and binding the snake. However, for every vines that bind it, two others were removed by the sheer strength of the snake. Kendrick knew he didn't have much time.
The Magus took out an ancient scroll from his Spatial Ring. The scroll held a Rank 7 Spell! It was a scroll won by the patriarch of Rutheus bloodline after bleeding the clan's treasury dry. As he was the only remaining Magus of Rutheus line, Kendrick didn't hesitate to use it.
"Rank 7 Spell: Astral Summoning!"
Light filled the dark night and briefly turned it to light. Under the brilliance, everything seemed to freeze. The black horralsnake. Kendrick. The wind.
Even time itself.
Warlock Kendrick Rutheus
Black Horralsnake
Under the light of a full moon, a geezer desperately ran toward a tower crumbling into ruins. His straight back was covered in a vibrant blue robe. A staff, adorned with precious stones on the tip, occupied his left hand. His wide stride and waving hands, combined with the cone hat slipping off his head and large sleeves made him quite a comical figure that night. Nevertheless, if a farmer was to witness this scene, he would not dare to laugh.The only people permitted to wear such a robe was a Magus.
