"Yawnnnn!!!"
In the early morning, just as the sun was raring its head. Leon figure was noticed outside the inn/canteen shirtless.
On his face was a look of satisfaction and relief and he carried a very relaxed Aura on his very person.
"Aiii, I almost forgot" Leon pulled out an small plastic bottle with a nuzzle on it and opened his eyes to drip a light blue liquid from the bottle into his eyes.
This liquid was Leon’s creation. The lumisight Eyes was an eye type that depended alot on the purity of the bloodline and even though Anan was quite talented, his lumisight Eyes abilities were severely lacking.
So as a request from Leon, Arian cut of the heads of several memebers of the dalriss family who had the lumisight Eyes and handed them to Leon. Of which Leon extracted their essence and refined it into this liquid.
Deep In a particular section of Badur’s Gate, along with several human parts were 10s of dalriss family members head.

The liquid fell into Leon’s eyes abs made them glow with an extraordinary bright light resembling an exploding supernova.
"Hmm, it stings, but it’s worth it" Leon closed his eyes and said. The pain was due to the crudeness of this method, it allowed him to improve his eye quality but it was too harsh so he had to do it just once a day or else it might make him blind.
"Oh yeah, where is Ember?" After his morning routine Leon frowned and said. A few hours ago Ember haf disappeared from the room and had gone to god knows where.
"Good morning" before Leon could look left and right Ember’s short figure came walking past him as if nothing had happened just now.
"Hmmm, I guess she’s alright" shrugging his shoulders Leon turned and followed her into the Inn.
Unknown to him, just two alleyways down a brutal masserce had occurred and several bodies could be seen littered all around with blood stains on the walls.
Ember had been Attacked and she didn’t hesitate to kill every single one of her opponents in one fell swoop.
As for where she had been for the following hours? She was busy hunting down the ones who managed to escape her onslaught.
What Ember had done was so brutal that when it reach Zane he couldn’t only look blankly at the information.
But his hatred couldn’t let him think properly, in fact he immediately came ti the conclusion that his brother had sent him crappy men to fight. So, on the first chance he got he left for the blackwater gang camp in the woods to report to his brother and give him stern talking to.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Thank you for patronising us sir, we hope you had a good stay"
Outside the inn/canteen several staff appeared Outside Leon’s carrige bidding him farewell.
Two days, Leon had stayed there for two days and had spent more coin than they would get from a month of stay from any other individual.
It wasn’t like Leon wanted to be lavish, he just wanted to enjoy himself to the fullest before proceeding with the rest of his journey.
"Uhhhhhh thank you?" Leon was surprised by this spectacle. He was of the opinion that these guys did not like him staying here.
He had seemingly offended someone powerful and was leaving, but they didn’t seem to care? Weren’t they worried that he would take it out on them?
"No thank you" the man in the lead said with a bitter smile. Courtesy demanded that they send of such a big spender in a big way. But he couldn’t help but think of what might happen to Leon and the rest after they leave.
Offending the blackwater was not a good idea and would definitely recieve a response. From what he heard, Zane had arrived with people in the town yesterday, they just hadn’t made their move yet.
"Okay...." Leon nodded and got onto the carriage head, he was swapping with Arian now, he would ride the carrige till their next stop.

The horse carrige moved slowly down the streets of the town under the gaze of the towns folk.
"Hehe.....they all wish for our down fall, I wonder why?" Just after leaving the town Leon smirked and shook his head.
"They are stupid, the lot of them" riding ontop the carriage a rander shirt young man commented with disdain in his tone.
Just like Leon, he was also a passers-by in this town. He understood that in backwater places like these, people tend to be more discriminatory, but these guys were too much. If not for his ’good temper’ he might have killed alot of them by now.
"Oh yes, I was going to ask....what’s someone of your status doing in a place like this?" The short young man asked. He seemed more tamed than before and spoke very respectfully to Leon.
"My status? Haha!! I’m but a mere traveller kid.....nothing about me has "status"" Leon laughed loudly and said.
He wasn’t a king nor a royal, he was just a scholar that got powerful after going through a few unforseen circumstances
"Bullshit!! Level 3 at such an Age? Only a subsidiary of the 3 holy places could have such a talent" the nature of the kid came out there and then.
Even in places outside of elodria, level 3 was seen as a very powerful stage. But just like eldoria where some people didn’t even know of the existence of level 3 existences. There were some people here who also didn’t concern themselves with these kinds of powers.
For this kid to know of level 3 and pinpoint that Leon was a talent. It meant that he was one of the few who were well acquainted with the power leveling In this world.
"What’s your name kid?" Leon asked with a raised eyebrow. He was quite interested in this kid for a few reasons. First being that he liked the kids audaciousness. Of course, Leon didn’t think that this in itself was a good skill.
Audacious people are often more than not placed in situations where they have to fight for their lives for the most silly things.
At most the would be a good pawn.
As for the second reason Leon took interest in this kid. It was because even though he was sure that this kid could use magic. He couldn’t sense a tinge of mana, or life-energy from him.
This ability to hide was superb.
Leon wanted to see what it was.
Behind the town was a massive forest...but just beside the forest was a mountain range. Very peculiar for places like these to directly face each other.
But what was Leon going to do? Examine the mountainous formation? That was a complete waste of time.

As Leon’s carrige made its way through the mountain range a gentle breeze blew past him making him flinch like a flee had perched on him.
"Wait, was that...?" Leon frowned deeply.
It was sudden and caught him off guard, but before Leon knew it, he was placed headfirst on his horse.
"Shit!!!" Immediately the short young man reacted and blasted forward grabbing Leon by the collar and blowing out of sight like the wind.
Silent breeze arrows, a famous wind based assassination spell in the region. It was not simple like the spells in duan city. The spells out here took alot of work and skill to produce as such they were incredibly deadly.
"Those are the guy? For real? Why are they so weak?" From inside a mirage made from heat, the figure of a man slowly crept in as someone appeared right infront of them.
"Hmm, how would I know" another Voice sounded and several figures began riding over from the distance.
At the helm of these men, was Zane and his littel brother Aron.
"Shit!!! You should, why would you give me such an easy game? They weren’t even worth my mana" the man whom had shot Leon just now spoke with an irritation in his mouth.
Leon was so weak that it made him sick!! At least that was what he expected others to believe. Deep down, he was gloating for having downed Leon with a single spell. Easy money.
"Hmmm" Aron looked at his older brother with the side of his eyes. He was clearly annoyed. He had spent a good amount to hire this assassin, and now the guy was telling him it was too easy? Embarrassing!!
"No that can’t be right" Zane frowned. He saw the corpses and cleaned them up himself, there was no way Leon was this weak.....something was horribly wrong.
"Hehe peak of level 2 huh?" He was right.
Because out of nowhere Leon’s voice sounded from infornt of them making them frown deeply.
They looked forward and soon noticed a figure getting up from the dirt to look at them
