Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity-Chapter 225: A Problem.
Two days later
—creeeeeee
Several carriages rolled down the streets of blood Rock City, not too far away from Leon’s new territory.
The territory had been gifted to Leon by the high Arbiter. Although it had been shrinked considerably, Leon now reigned supreme over the region assigned to him. And one of the downsides of this promotion was that Leon now needed to arrange security around his region himself.
The other lieutenants were no longer at his beck and call in issues of his territory, so he had to stabilise his security himself.
Luckily, Leon was prepared for this.....
"Neigh!!!"
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Beside him, the faceless Raiders drew the reigns on their horses and swiftly cleared the area for Leon’s carraige.
20 faceless Raiders with the wolf brothers as their commanders, plus a few other conscripts. Courtesy of Leon’s ’reputation’ and ’tactics’ In the greater region.
"Move!!!" Wolf one spoke in a commanding tone as he emmited an impressive aura. With the help of Leon’s blood misty lillys he was able to enter level 3. He was now a force to be reckoned with even if he went back to blackwater gang.
As they cut their way through the streets, Leon could be seen coolly seated on a chair with a cup of wine in his hand and Arian and Ember infront of him.
Coupled with the patrol, Leon was also checking up on his farms all over the region. He recently had to covertly move them closer to his home base in anticipation of his reduced territory.
He needed to check on how well they were settling in and do some inventory. It was basically a routine check.
—pheeeeee
From the distance, an aburbt and heart shaking whistle sounded followed by a brief silence.
Then
—Boom!!!
Right there and then, a beam of light cleaved Leon’s carriage in two taking the top half of tne Carriage and the horses pulling it.
Silence
"Assassin!!!" A shout resounded following which wolf 1 and his brothers fanned out towards the direction of the attack.
There a young man with Brown hair and a vicious look on his face stood looking down at Leon’s carraige with knee observation skills.
That attack was placed perfectly and because it was able to cut the carraige clean in half....it meant the occupants must be dead.
However, he wouldn’t take any chances with that cockroach Leon he had to confirm.
He was unfortunately right to wait a bit longer as Leon’s white hair rose from within the carriage and stared directly at him with shock written all over his face.
"That attack....." Leon looked in the direction of the attacker and froze for a brief second. Since coming to this word there were a few people that had truly come close to killing him as this guy just did....and with that attack
"Shit!!" Leon quickly pulled out a red spear from thin air and lounged forward,
—voom
in an instant he surpassed all 5 of the wolf brothers and appeared before the young man. He couldn’t give this guy breathing room if not things would only get worse from here...
"Hehe, return my Grimoire you brat"
Unfortunately, just as Leon reached the young man disappeared into the shadows like a ghost....fading into oblivion.
Leon landed on the roof top and frowned deeply. It was quite evident what had just happened, The old fool Bran had escaped and was now out to get him.
"I should have just killed him" Leon felt a chill run down his arm as it became numb. There were alot of factors that stopped him from just taking the old man’s life previously, but now that he had escaped they suddenly felt none existent.
Of course, the old man was smarter now.....was there really anything he could do by himself?
—Boom
As Leon stood there in contemplation, he felt a familiar life energy pulse through the sky and appear behind him.
"Hmm" he turned around and froze for a second.....it was Liana. She was the one that was charged with keeping the old man in chains till they could find a solution for his predicament, but she had failed..
This really pissed Leon off at first because, the old man didn’t just make an attempt at his life just now, he made one at Arian and ember’s too.
It was unforgiveable. How dare the old man target his women?
"Are you alright?" Leon couldn’t help but ask. It wasn’t until leon set eyes on Liana that his heart cooled down, and that was for one reason alone.
She was completely bloodied.
There were lacerations all over her body with a few broken bones, a pale and exhausted complexion.
She had clearly been fighting the old man Bran for a while now without letting Leon know.
"I’m.....okay, what about you? Are you fin" Liana’s words were slured from exhaustion as she stared down at Leon..
As soon as Bran got out, the first thing that came to mind was that she should immediately inform Leon of this incident. But the thought of the Leon looking down on her for such incompetency didn’t sit well with her at all.
She was his clan branch head and a level 4 existence such things that would make her look incompetent was a smear to her name.
"I’m okay" he didn’t have a choice, he couldn’t pursue the matter as much seeing what Liana had put herself through.
—Boom
—boom
—Boom
Soon several level 3 warlocks arrived infront of Leon. These included wolf 1, Arian, Ember and Some of the lieutenants.
"Fan the area, I want the old man found....but don’t engage he’s not so easy to kill"
Leon commanded his men.
Seeing Liana in such a state sent alarms through Leon’s head. It seemed like even without the Grimoire the old man was still becoming stronger by the minute.
The next time they encounter, if Leon wasn’t able to kill him, he might just end up dead.
Precautions had to be taken now
