Marb Lilytell

**Marb Lilytell** was a peak Rank 1 Magus and an elder of the Lilytell Family.

## Appearance

This old geezer had a nose that was bent the way an eagle’s beak was, and he had a few metallic ornaments dangling from his face.

## Personality

He was somewhat crazy.

## Abilities

* Metallic Life: After fusing with a purely metallic lifeform, all fatal attacks are ineffective. Vitality increases, and damage increases when using metal magic. As a side effect, loss of sense of touch.
* Gravitational Spell Formation: Discovered gravitational runes related to gravity spell formation. Estimated completion of spell: 56%. Information recorded! Able to achieve between 2 and 25 times normal gravity over an area of 100 meters when used as an attack. Estimated strongest might: 29 times normal gravity!

## Plot

Marb had merged with a Metallic Life form, rendering him sterile. His only relative, Bosain, was slain by Leylin during a dispute over the inheritance of the Great Magus Serholm in the Dylan Gardens. This drove Marb insane and he vowed to hunt down Leylin.

Leylin had barely crossed the Great Canyon Margaret and entered the town when a clone of Marb ambushed him. Luckily, it was not the real Marb and Leylin managed to defeat him. But Marb was not deterred by this setback. However, he had to pause his pursuit due to the internal strife in his family for the leadership position.

They reencountered each other in the Secret Plane of the Eternal River Plains during the Third Great Magus War with Leylin provoking Marb since Leylin wanted to gauge Marb's power.

Leylin was almost defeated due to the Gravity Spell Formation but somehow escaped with the help of suction formation.  This made Marb hunt any Light Magi in the region controlled by the Four Seasons Garden so that he could force Leylin out.

In the previous battle, Marb had witnessed Leylin's power and the rate at which he grew stronger. Fear and regret crawled around and constantly gnawed at his insides like ants. He regretted it! He regretted not deploying more manpower to the Great Canyon Margaret and thoroughly eliminating Leylin. Leylin had already grown stronger and was quickly becoming the Lilytell Family's worst nightmare.

In the beginning, he had only just advanced to a rank 1 Magus, but now, he was capable of fighting on equal grounds with Marb. In the entire Magus history of the south coast, this was a rate of improvement that only the cream of the crop had. Although Marb could still suppress his opponent, he had no confidence in being able to do so in the future. By that time, Leylin would definitely destroy the entire Lilytell Family.

Marb did not want to be responsible for his family’s death. Hence, in this period, he was like a madman, looking for traces of Leylin. He did not even hesitate to anger a rank 2 light Magus as he slaughtered a large number of Magi in the light Magi zone.

Finally, he had forced Leylin to come out.

Unfortunately, fate favors the one favored by the author. Due to extreme injuries in the previous fight, Leylin's second bloodline transition came earlier than expected. This exponentially increased his battle prowess and in the end, he killed Marb.
