Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

"I’m going to kill you!!!" With rage in his eyes Ace bellowed at Carlson, before disappearing at lightening speed.

"Let’s go" Carlson readied himself, Ace had the speed and defence of a monster. A simple mistake from his end could end Carlson’s life.

He had to be cautious.

Naturally, Carlson wasn’t the only one stressing the need for caution. Even Ace while dashing around in the shadows of the downpour understood that Carlson was no small fry.

With a grade 3 magic treasure Carlson boosted the ability to actually injure him in a fight. Even a peak level 3 fighter would find it incredibly hard to win against him....but this was a grade 3 magic treasure.

—woosh

—cllllll

—Wang

—Slash

During the course of this fight, Ace would fade in and out of existence and attack carslon when he wasn’t paying attention.

But each time Carlson was able to react just on time to push Ace back and halt his assault.

—Boom

—Boom

—Boom

The force from their attack resounded in the Air

This was a battle against two individuals from two different worlds, but for some reason, they seemed to be evenly matched.

"This.....we can’t let him lose!!!" Gritting his teeth the representative from the Baldwin faction spoke. They had been three rounds so far and each faction had one 1 at least.

They were the only faction left, if they lost it would be the same as saying they were inferior.

With the side of his eyes, thane looked over at the top of a distant allyway where and old man with a slightly bad back stood with his hands behind his back.

This old man looked small but his aura was massive and terrifying. An old monster of the Baldwin faction, second only to the great mage damien, old Zaki.

The current leader of the Baldwin faction.

"Hmm" after looking at the old man for a few seconds thane nodded and tossed something into the air. He did it in a discreet way that no one could notice.

Except for Leon.

It was a weapon.

A grade three treasure, the unique circumstances of this fight had forced the Baldwin faction to throw in a grade three weapon in hopes of tipping the fight in their favor.

But would Leon allow this seamless act?

"Thanks for the weapon" Leon smirked and threw his chained dagger into the air.

—crrrrr

"Hm?" Just then Ace noticed Leon’s chain wrap around the weapon that was seemingly tossed go help him so he tried to stop him.

However, this was a grave mistake as it left space for Carlson to attack meanwhile Leon took the weapon from the sky’s.

"Ooohh, this is nice" Leon flipped the weapon around in his hand. It was a sickle looking weapon with a firm handle and sharp edge.

It didn’t look special at all, but it still have off a strong aura indicating that it was a grade 3 treasure.

"Stare all you want" Leon turned to look over at The representative of the Baldwin faction and steered. The guy was trying to cheat, but eventually got his treasure seized.

It was hilarious.

But what could he do about it? Merely explaining or talking about the circumstances was ground that could be used to disqualify Ace.

He had to keep shut for now.

—shiinnnggg

Carlson thrusted his spear forward with a golden light enveloping it and cut through Ace’s side leaving a gapping whole In his side.

A grievous injury.

"Haaa haaaa" breathing heavily Ace looked at Carlson with confusion. He couldn’t quite understand how carlson was able to at ever step of the way counter all his attacks.

Was there really someone this skilled in the waterway family that he didn’t know of?

"How old are you?" With a squinted brow, Ace asked carlson a question.

"26" carlson responded truthfully. He wasn’t a youngster and he wasn’t old at the same time.

Every move he made and his state of mind was from experience forgetting about his talent.

"This is good...." Ace nodded then dropped his hand from covering up his wound.

"Brace yourself, if you can withstand this you win, but I must warn you....if you fail you will undoubtedly die." Ace stood up straight and said the he descended into a fighting pose leveling with carlson in hight.

"Okay" Carlson nodded seriously, he understood and respected Ace...Ace had met a bottleneck years ago but he didn’t stop improving, every attack from him was lethal, his speed and defence was perfect, this level of fighting ability wasn’t gained from just nothing...he had to earn it.

"Wind work: Scared Whispering ghost wind " Ace pronounced and zoomed forward. This time he didn’t bother fading away into the darkness...he was moving at a speed that Carlson wouldn’t be able to dodge even if he tried.

But carslon wasn’t planning to dodge anyway.

"Water work: mystic Defence"

Carlson activated a spell graded mythic....spells of any level went from grade 1 to grade 3, but above grade 3 was a realm hovering between level called the sacred grade. However even above them there was something above even that.

A Mythic Spell.

These spell types were so unique that they barely even seem to exist as no one really had access to them even in big clan.

There was only one person that had used such spells before Leon’s eyes and it was Carlson.

It was very strange because it seemed like no one was interested enough to find trouble with him because of it.

—Boom

The two parties clashed and the difference in grade was clear.

The mystic triumphed.

"Shit!!!" With anger, Thane, the representative of the Baldwin faction smashed the table before him.

Out of 3 matches they had no wins, it was beyond embarrassing.

"Hehe," Carlson smiled at this outcome....the mythic spell took the brunt of the attack and allowed him to impale Ace through the shoulder and into the ground. It was the end.

The difference was in spell quality and the ability to maintain a cool head.

"Winner, Vartan faction" Jade announced with glee. This battle was gut wrenching, but Carlson eventually won causing her to flare up.

It seemed like Leon had also of monsters under his belt of control.

"Let’s not waste time, move to the next match" from the Gia faction Malacath spat out.....the vertan faction was now ahead of them, they had to catch up.

"Ahhh, yes" after a brief moment of celebration Jade calm down. They were ahead now all they needed to do was keep the streak going.

"Wait a minute"

Before jade could call forth the next match, a voice sounded from the air space above the Baldwin faction.

A small man of an advanced aged looked at Leon from the sky.

"Return the treasure.." he stretched his hand forward and demanded Leon Return the grade 3 treasure he took from the sky during the match.

That treasure was his, there was no way he would let leon have it.

"Treasure? What do you mean?" Leon played dumb.

The old man wanted to cheat by assisting mid battle and expected no repercussions? What kind of thing was that?

"Hm!!! Don’t mess around with me kid, I’m too old for you to pull a fast one over on me!!" The man bellowed.

He was the leader of the Baldwin faction and had been so for as far as he could remember. Even the former head of the entire faceless mercenary company was his junior at some point. He would not be disrespected.

"What? Are you trying to bully me into giving you my property old man? Is it because I’m from another faction? Don’t you remember that the faceless mercenary company is still one forgetting the factions?" Leon said accusing the old man of not one but two crimes.

First of all, he accused him of bulling the weak. An old monster like himself came out to demand for a treasure that clearly was his and pretended to be the owner. This was not only shameful it was disgusting. As for the second crime.

It was a form of nepotism and favoritism. Because Leon was not of the Baldwin faction he saw it fit to call him a thief. He was calling out this proposed contender for the post of leader of the faceless mercenary a nepotic person that played favorites.

There was no worse accusation for a person seeking leadership.

"You....." with his hand streched forward the old man was at a lose for words. But after a few seconds he shut his mouth up and left immediately.

Even now, he could feel something pulsating not too far in the distance, as if praying that he make a move.

This was not the time for it.

"He should be up for the next fight...take this I want you to bring both hands" the old man of the Baldwin faction landed next to one of his deciples and said.

He handed him two grade 3 treasures.
