Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

60  faceless mercenary-3

"Die brat!!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The first person to make a move was the man seated on the counter, out of nowhere, a spear elongated from under his robes and barreled towards Leon's head.

It was a sneak attack.

—chhrrrr

However, Leon, who still had a rice ball in his hand, was prepared. He kicked the table in front of him and pushed himself out of the trajectory of the spear. Leon was able to escape with his life.

"Hm?" The same couldn't be said for his attacker. Similar to how he planned to sneak attack Leon, Leon had the same thing in store. As soon as they were asked to begin, Leon threw his poison dagger at the man. Piercing through his stomach.

"What the hell…?" He was too busy plotting on how he would kill Leon and didn't think that Leon was planning to kill him too.

"You should really take your own advice and not stand out" Leon chuckled.

He just noticed the funniest thing. He wasn't the only one targeting the man, at this moment the man had an ax lodged in the back of his head.

It seemed like Leon wasn't the only one he offended, as right next to the counter, a short lady appeared and pulled out the ax from his head.

"Do you" Leon raised his head showing he meant no harm, she looked at him and sneered. If not for Leon's distraction, she might not have gotten the bastard.

However, before she could even make another move, a small pin passed through and neck and her body fell to the floor.

She was dead before she even knew it.

"Ah? Oh, well" Leon proceeded to grab the rude man's spear and climb on top the counter. This visibly made him a target. But it also created the avenue for him to do this….

Wind Work: Wind arrows

Leon activated his spell and almost immediately about 15 Wind arrows appeared out of nowhere and….

—puuu

—puuu

—puuu

They moved simultaneously and claimed the lives of about 7 men and women.

"Ah? Such precision…" The faceless waiter commented. The Wind arrow spell was the most common spell among level 1 mages, but the spell lacked precision, and could easily be blocked by trained fighters. Seeing Leon rip the lives of seven people with this spell was amusing.

However, this didn't mean what he did was a smart move. Killing several people at once had immediately made him public enemy number 1.

"Come at me" Leon waved the spear in his hand around and mocked the fighters.

Normally, Leon would see anyone showboating like this as an absolute idiot, but Leon had his reasons. From what he heard from the faceless mercenary he had captured, there was a talent slot during the test.

Normally, this test would happen about once in two weeks in different parts of the city, as such most of the recruits were common in the eyes of the higher-ups. But the faceless mercenary company saw the need to nurture special recruits.

So a rule was set in place, killing 15 or more participants during the test would automatically rise one to a special status. This was extremely difficult to achieve as most of the tests didn't have more than 15 participants, so it was actually challenging to achieve.

This one in particular had 20, Leon had already claimed the life of 7, so he was basically the only participant qualified for the special status at this moment.

"Kill the bastard!!!" From the opposite side of the restaurant, a bald young man with a Boa sword shouted.

By killing 7 people, he had disqualified all of them from the special status. They couldn't hide that this made them extremely angry.

"Ahhhhh"

All of them threw themselves at Leon. But Leon remained steadfast. His position was an elevated one, with a simple thrust of his spear, he would take lives and with his leg, he would force those trying to level with him down.

—chu

—chu

—chu

Leon repeatedly used his spear to claim lives, until he had taken a total of 3 more lives. After that, the others pulled away from the counter.

"Wind work: Wind Arrows"

All of a sudden, Leon activated the wind arrow spell again and made them fly in different directions.

This time though, the other participants were prepared, they immediately took cover behind tables and, with that, they had nullified that attack.

"Two can play at that game" the bald youth with the boa sword said out loud before stretching his hand forward.

Wind work: Wind arrows

Wind arrows soon materialized beside him. Seeing this, the others followed suit. The wind arrow spell was popular and they could all use it.

It was time for Leon to have a taste of his own medicine.

—wooom

"Shit!!" Leon saw the countless arrows flying towards him and immediately did a backflip, effectively dodging the volley of arrows before landing on the floor.

"Eat this!!" And, as soon as Leon landed on the floor, he threw his spear out and.

—Boom

"Glurg" the spear broke apart the table of one of the participants who was hiding behind and pierced right through him.

He had taken another life.

"Next!!" Leon's blue supernova eyes trailed around the restaurant and fell on another target, he pulled out his dagger and dashed forward.

"This guy is an experienced killer…." The faceless waiter mused. Leon didn't stop, it was one tactic after the other, it seemed liked killing was only natural to him.

This kind of drive was astonishing.

"Hehe, he'll have a hard time with kun's boy though," he added.

There were a lot of Canon fodder in each of the tests, but at least 2 were real talents. However, in this particular one, Leon had overshadowed the only true talent in this set. But he wouldn't die easily, they would face off eventually.

"These guys won't let up" behind a particular table, Leon gulped down a bottle of red liquid and sighed.

He had taken another life, but, they were still four more targets remaining and all of them seemed to have banded together to kill him. Leon was now facing a 4 one 1.

Nonetheless, Leon would have to go on, it was a deathmatch after all. They could only stop when one remains.

Leon reached to the side and pulled out the spear he had thrown out from the corpse to his side.

He then grabbed the leg of the table he was taking cover behind, like a shield and began sprinting forward with it.....

"He's coming!!" The bald-headed youth became incensed, he pulled out his Boa sword and prepared for Leon.

Leon rushing towards them meant he was ready for a full-frontal, this was his favorite type of battle.....plus it was a four on one.
