Chapter 21: pillaging the battlefield

—Boom

—Boom

—Boom

The battle between Arian and the warlock caused the low-level fighters to keep their distance. The shock waves were so much that it caused many of them to fumble and die as a result. so, many of them created distance from their battle.

Of course, this didn't change the fact that the battle here had been brutal. Bodies of both Warlocks and hunters could be seen littered all over the place.

This sight was miserable.

Around 60 meters away from Arian

"Hmm? What's this?"

Leon bent down and picked up a bottle of a gray liquid and examined it, it gave off some faint mana and smelled Fragrant. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was exactly, but it seemed nice.

"Cool" Leon, After examining the bottle for a few seconds, put the bottle into a bag that was hung on his shoulder. He then proceeded to walk forward and stopped before another body.

" Ah? A Warlock scroll..." Leon reached downwards and picked up a rolled up parchment of paper on the side of the warlock.

"Yh....not compatible" After a brief examination, he threw it to the side. Not all Warlock scrolls could be practiced by other warlock clans, they were mostly tuned to their specific bloodline. This was one of the reasons the healing spell Leon got was so surprising to the fourth elder. It was also the reason he was later easily convinced that the spell was from the matriarch.

Meanwhile, Arian and the warlock from the gray salamander clan were still locked in the heat of battle

—Clang

Arians sword struck the Warlock's scimitar, causing him to be pushed back.

"Annoying" quickly regaining himself, the warlock spat and in the next second he disappeared into the corner of Arians left eye.

Warlocks from different clans had different abilities and spells tuned to their bloodlines. for this warlock, it seemed to be a sort of optical illusion kind of magic that allowed him to disappear into the blind spot of his opponent. It was a very useful technique/spell in any battle. It was like fighting a ghost.

(I'll make sure I kill you myself!!)

Arian screamed in her mind at the sight of Leon walking deeper into the camp. She understood the logic behind his actions, but did he need to cause her this much trouble just because he wanted to pick up some treasure?

And again, there was another problem. Leon was strolling into the camp that was filled with tents and blind spots. She not only needed to keep this Warlock at bay, she also needed to make sure her eyes stayed glued on Leon inside the mess of the main camp.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Puuu" Leon whistled while strolling through the camp, there were several carriages and tents around the area, some were on fire, others had been flipped over by hunters. It looked nothing like the camp of the blood serpent clan. These guys had been beaten and bruised before being forced to this corner.

But this perilous situation gave them the chance to build up their camp in a more standard way. However, it was all futile. They were still burnt to the ground.

"Nice boots" Leon picked up some boots, meanwhile around him the sound of battle intensified the deeper he went into the battleground.

"Need more time" Leon frowned. He was gathering supplies for a purpose just as Arian was planning to keep him here, he was constantly thinking of ways to get the upper hand.

"System scan this potion and tell me its properties. ." Leon said, and the system window came up.

The system resounded in front of Leon.

"This world is really filled with some fantastic stuff" Leon said while looking at the window in front of him with some glee, a potion to remove exhaustion. He didn't have such in his past life, they had to learn stamina management like everybody else.

While Leon was marveling at the properties of the loot, he noticed something at the corner of his eyes.....

"Hm? Interesting" a young warlock could be observed running towards him, apparently being chased, so Leon slipped in-between the corner of two tents standing side by side.
