Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity-Chapter 273: Mundane Activities

One of Nephron’s key precautions when leaving Griffin’s Peak was to buy himself time. He knew things would go south, so he decided to heavily damage the peak.

With the help of his close friend, Black Wing, and other contacts in Griffin City, Nephron managed to create a plan to strip the Golden Tower of its defense formation. This formation had stood for so long that even Ziaman didn’t know who had placed it there.

It was a clan treasure.

But somehow, Nephron discovered its secrets and had Black Wing and his friends steal it during the chaos. Unfortunately, just as they were executing this plan, a member of the Underwood Alliance had the audacity to oppose them.

Quvera

She mobilized the tower’s elders and launched an attack on Black Wing. Their goal was to delay him long enough for thane to wake up so he could handle the traitors. However, Black Wing was as slippery as Nephron. The moment he felt the upper hand slipping from them, he bailed—but not without taking Quvera with him.

He essentially kidnapped the poor girl.

"Heh, these old men are more than they seem," Leon muttered outside the guardhouse, watching Nephron’s figure slowly disappear into the crowd.

Apparently, the likes of Malphas and a few other powerful figures were merely clones of Nephron—or at least something similar. And Nephron never bothered to explain it to even him. All he said was that it was "Destiny."

Clearly, Nephron and Black Wing had laid down layers of plans a very long time ago, plans that Leon was now entangled in. Forget the incident with Quvera—

the thought of being caught up in Nephron’s schemes gave Leon chills. Staying in BloodRock City was looking less and less appealing by the day.

"Wolf One," Leon called out.

From the corner of the building, a white smoke began to condense, slowly emulating the shape of a man whilst staying in the shadows of the alleyway.

"Secure this place. I’m going for a walk," Leon said calmly, sighing as he walked away.

Quvera knew he was a sorcerer, and she knew about Nephron too. The problem wasn’t whether or not they were sorcerers though —it was that, since both master and disciple were sorcerers, they could be accused of trying to revive the sorcerer race.

This in itself was a big problem especially for Leon.

There was no greater crime than for a sorcerer to take on a disciple. It could get them killed. Or at least, it could get Leon killed, since Nephron had transcended such matters.

"I really hate old schemers," Leon cursed Nephron under his breath as he disappeared into the streets.

back at Leon’s dojo, Liana had a strange smile on her face as she looked around.

"So… what do you guys do for fun?" she asked, clearly out of place.

She had come in search of her student, Gunta, but hadn’t expected to find such an unusual situation. Not only was she unable to get a proper audience with Leon, even the Supreme Leader of the entire blood serpent clan had the same issue. It was starting to concern her just how far Leon had come in so little time.

The kid was quite ballsy

"Err, we could go shopping?" Ember offered with a sheepish smile. The truth was, they hadn’t been doing much except training and lounging around. Leon had created such a safe environment, free of conflict, that they had grown complacent.

This wasn’t like Duan City, where they had to constantly watch their backs because they were surrounded by enemies.

"Shopping? Oh, that sounds nice," Liana smiled. Despite the awkwardness, she knew that Ember was still just a young woman, and shopping was always a welcome distraction.

"Okay, let’s go!" Ember shot up, running into the dojo as if afraid Liana might change her mind.

Liana smiled bitterly at Arian, who sat calmly reading a book in front of her. A few moments later, Ember came barreling out of the dojo, grabbing Liana’s arm and dragging her off toward the streets.

Shopping was one of Ember’s favorite pastimes, but Arian had a short social battery and could only handle so much of it before retreating. Liana, on the other hand, was the leader of the Blood Serpent Clan Eldoria branch and was used to public interactions. Or at least, that’s what she thought.

After a few hours wandering through the markets of BloodRock City, Liana finally understood why Arian had stayed behind.

Ember was obsessed with buying things. For example, what did a woman of her size and stature need with a massive suit of berserker armor? Liana had clearly fallen into a trap and would probably soon fall into a hole of dept.

"Sigh," Liana exhaled deeply, looking up at the sky.

’Where are you?’ she thought. It had been three months since she’d last seen Gunta. He had appeared briefly after the incident at griffins peak to tell her he’d be helping Leon train some men, but after that, he’d vanished from BloodRock City altogether.

"Hey, check this one out. It’ll look great on you," Ember’s voice snapped her from her thoughts. Ember was holding up a purple dress, draping it over Liana’s shoulders.

"Oh, really?" Liana smiled wearily, pulling out her purse from her clothes to pay for yet another item she would likely never use.

Yes, She was the one paying, after all—Leon was still technically part of her clan back in Eldoria, so anyone related to him was like family to her.

Meanwhile, Leon appeared before a tall tower inside the Blood Serpent Clan’s territory. His robes were dusted from a long walk, showing that he had traveled there on foot.

"Boss!"

A guard approached him as soon as he stepped into the outskirts of the tower.

"Hm," Leon nodded. This was his place in the clan now. As a direct disciple, he could commandeer any unoccupied land within the clan’s territory.

"Tell the captain in charge of this legion to prepare. We’re leaving in three days," Leon said calmly, then turned to leave just as swiftly as he had arrived.

They had always planned to participate in the war for the Undergod Territory. It was just a matter of time.
