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, Leon 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.
It was humiliating.
After roaming through the camp, they arrive at a small tent somewhere in the middle of this forest of tents and cages.
—Clang
The sound of Leon's chains dangling resounded as Arian pulls him into her tent. She then proceeds to tie Leon to a pole in the middle of the tent.
"Stay put" Arian said to Leon casually before walking to towards her bed. There she takes a seat and sighs in exhaustion. "Sigh" it had been a long day for her. With the raid, the previous night and now having to defend herself in front of the Elders. She was exhausted.
"Hmm" Leon saw the expression on her face and couldn't help but sigh as well. It was very stressful indeed. But in the next second the scene changed completely, catching Leon off guard.
Arian began taking off her amour, revealing her succulent skin. She started with her boots, revealing clean snow-white feet untainted by the filth of this world.
Then she took off her breastplate amour, allowing her sweat drained undercloth to dangle. following which she took off her belt Holt. It didn't stop here though, she soon stood up and took off her top, revealing a surprisingly nice set of breasts hanging from her chest. Even though she was facing away from him, The scene could make any man go mad.
But what really caught Leon's eye wasn't her beautiful figure, no, it was the bite marks on her skin. It seemed like the bite marks on her were much more than Leon and expected. If they had continued fighting back in the forest, she would have really died.
(This girl is crazy, she knew….)
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.
