Chapter 24: Level 1 Warlock
"Shut up you beast"
—Taa!!
—Taa!!
—Taa!!
The sound of whips lashing down on the bare skin of Warlocks sounded in the background, from where Leon sat.
"Stupid monkey!!"
"Dumb animals"
"Annoying beasts"
Coupled with the lashes, curses also rained down on the warlocks. After the events from earlier today, the hunters became angry. Apparently, the higher-ups of the hunters had been ambushed by the warlock alliance, with the help from some other rogue Warlocks on the run.
A lot of hunters had died, and the alliance higher-ups were able to escape with some others. There was no other avenue to relieve their anger other than punishing the few prisoners they could get their hands on.
"Let's go" Arian walked out from the main tent and took grabbed Leon's chains before leading him away from the area slowly.

"Sigh" Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Arian dragged Leon through the camp and finally into her tent, where she proceeded to cuff his hands and head straight to bed.
She was exhausted.
The hunt wasn't easy, the person she had fought against was of a higher level than her, plus his skills were tricky. She had to resort to using an advanced spell to win, and it cost her alot of energy. Then there was the evacuation of the remaining hunters.
As a level 2 mage, she had to be responsible for evacuating her subordinates, even with her weakness from the previous battle. It was normal for her to be this tired.
'Third circulation"
"Fourth circulation "
"Fifth circulation"
Slowly but surely, Leon's saw great improvements in refining his bloodline power. The number of herbs this time really made the difference. However, it just wasn't enough.
Soon the circulation came to a halt and couldn't move a single step.
"Shit, This isn't good" Leon muttered while beads of sweat slowly dripped down from his forehead. He had previously thought that the reason he was failing to breakthrough was because of in sufficient life-energy...however, it seemed like he was mistaken.
"Spit it out!! Spit it out!!"
In his mind, Leon's subconscious screamed. The amount of energy he was working with before now was small, so the backlash from failing wasn't too much and could easily be ignored. But this time was different. If he did spit it out, he would suffer heavy injuries.
But If he didn't, he might die.
"I have no choice...." Leon sighed, he had to spit it out.
—pop!!!
However , in the last minute, a small explosion sounded from his back as a gust of foul air was pushed out from the pores of his skin.
"Uhhh..." Leon involuntarily took in a massive breath of air. Immediately after that sound erupted, Leon felt the energy in his body begin flowing again.
In fact, at this point, it no longer needed him to push, it seemed all too natural.
"I've broken through"
Leon's eyes widened in absolute shock. He had broken through just like that? He didn't even do anything special. How was that possible?
Leon wasn't the only one in shock, though. On the bed opposite Leon. Arians eyes shone with surprises and doubt, but also there was a trace of something else in them.
Killing intent.
