Chapter 17: The Need To Become Stronger

—Whoop

Leon alongside Arian walked out of the tent freely. They had succeeded. Who would have thought that the fourth elder's low self-esteem would actually work to their advantage.

He believed Leon's lie because deep down he felt like the clan had alienated him from their deepest workings, so it was easy to convince him that this was just one of the many schemes he wasn't aware of...

"Stay close, we Don't want you being mistaken for a runaway" Arian pulled Leon's chains tighter and closer to herself while she kept on walking forwards into the camp.

"Help!!!"

"Please stop!!"

"You brother, If you can help me out of here, I can give you my hidden treasures"

While she brought him through the tents, Lance would occasionally see cages and poles where Warlocks were strapped and confined in. They screamed for help as some of them were being whipped and others were just desperate to leave.

These prestigious clansmen from the Warlocks race were turned into this state. The prideful golden haired lion clan, the typhoon fish clan. In the normal setting of society, they were the cream of the crop, the most influential. However, here they laid as common slaves and prisoners.

She definitely knew that she would die if they continued fighting, so why did she? Was there something he wasn't getting here?

"Unless you don't want your eyes anymore, I suggest you close them"

While Leon was in a bit of a daze, he noticed Arians look and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She thought he was lusting after her.

"You're right, I don't want them anymore. I've seen all I need to see in this world" Leon made a slight joke, but of course Arian wasn't having it as her eyes remained glued on Leon with an intense irritation.

"Okay okay, I'll keep my eyes shut" Seeing the look on her face, Leon had no option than to close his eyes. She couldn't kill him they had a contract, but also he understood she was vulnerable at the moment.

(You're the least of my problems' sweetheart)

Leon thought in his mind. Before closing his eyes and projecting into his mind scape where the giant Pagoda stood. He focused and was soon pulled into it.

(Surrounded by enemies, weak and powerless. This is bad, I have to prepare)

Seeing someone as powerful as the fourth elder bound in chains, Leon understood that this place was much more dangerous than he originally thought. However, he didn't really have a choice.

He had to become stronger, at least he had to break through from a level 0 Warlock and become a full-blown level 1 warlock.
