Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

Several weeks later

The events of the seige on sky palace spread like wildfire through the three regions, those who dared had taken the most impregnable fortress in the world for a ride.

Leon Alduwin, Ni'an and the seven disciples of the undergod monestary.

Their names quickly became a staple in the ongoing conflict in the three regions, as sky palace began to take it very seriously sending out a majority of their troops to engage the alliance.

They couldn't let this transgression become household, if not more dare devils would start making their way to the gates of sky palace.

They had to go full on war mode.

Soon, the three regions would be engulfed by flames of war that would burn for ages because of the actions of 10 individuals.

Meanwhile, one of the individuals responsible for the whole thing layed peaceful in a bed inside one of the central region's mountains.

'Hey big man, why are you still asleep? Your wounds have all but healed'

'wake up I'm hungry'

'If you don't wake up I'll stripe you naked and eat you whole'

A rather annoying voice resounded in a young man's ear causing his face to become grim squeezing and contorting. He could swear he was in danger or something.

"Hm?" His eyes snapped open as he quickly scanned his surroundings as if looking for something.

Right below his feet a serpentine creature could be seen coiling around with its maw wide open as if trying to swallow his leg whole.

-_-

The young man's gaze matched that of the serpentine creature in an awkward silence. What even was this little shit head doing?

'Ahhh you're alive!!" Sending a thought to the head of the young man, the serpent coiled around his body in a tight hug.

Although it felt like one, the young man could feel himself getting suffocated by the minute.

"Get…offf" the young man struggled to speak, but finally was able to let out the words forcing the serpent to loosen itself and shrink.

"Damn man, you slept for weeks, what were you plotting in your dreams? Something insane probably" the serpent spoke to the young man mentally, showing its excitement and thrill.

However, the young man seemed to drift away from the ramblings as he slowly observed his surroundings.

He was in a rocky cave….or what was this? There seemed to be furniture in the room, a lantern and fresh fruits.

'How did I get here' the young man mused.

The last thing he remembered was combining with his Actualization and going mental, ripping hundred of the members of the Swarm and burning them alive.

After that, it was a total blank, he didn't even remember how he got away or even end up here.

"Hm?" As contemplated what had happened, he felt a small shadow move from the corner of the cave, as it sprinted away from him in an instant.

"A girl?" Leon was confused, but didn't waste time, as he quick stood up and walked forward leaving Levi behind as he walked towards the escaping shadow.

The shadow was fast, weaving through the corners of the cave with familiarity and precision. Before Leon even knew it he was lost in the unending Labyrinth of wet stony enclaves.

'Sigh' Leon sighed, he couldn't feel his energy, it was like it got stuffed into dark hole and was struggling to slowly come out. If not he would only need to flash forward to catch the kid.

"Oh well" Leon shook his head. There was not a lot he could do about his power right now, he couldn't even access the resources in badurs gate.

He would just have to wait it out.

While he did that, it wouldn't hurt to find the person spying on his unconscious body and maybe understanding where this place even was.

So he walked around, aimlessly for minute, and everywhere he went through he saw books, large libraries in the caves all over, was this some sort of library? He doubted it.

There was no one here, and it was insanely dark, how could anyone hope to read in such a gloomy place.

"Hmmm, might as well" Leon after walking for for what seemed like forever decided to stop at one on the library rooms and reach for a book.

"Emperor Weimans guide to archery"

It wasn't too thick, around 20 pages even and it contained the very basics of archery, how to knot a bow, how to aim, even how to find quivers.

It was highly informative, if one was a complete novice.

"Hmm, there are a lot of books here, most are bound to be useless" Leon nodded as he reached for another book and dived in.

Meanwhile,

A lady with puffy silver hair floated towards his location on grand chair where she seemed to be engrossed in a book. She didn't even pay attention to what was infront of her, instead opting to allow the floating chair guide her movements.

Beside her, a young girl no younger than 12 could be seen walking hurriedly trying to keep up with the lady, a look on panic on her face.

The troublesome warlock had woken up and was now parading around the library touching the masters precious books. This was unforgivable!!

Soon they reached a particular cave and made a turn heading into it-

"Stop that now!!"

The young girl shouted her finger pointing to a lone figure standing in the dark library. She was furious, chased down by this holigan so early in the morning she now this.

"Huh?" Leon raised his head with confusion written all over his face.

The two people standing before him were total strangers, one was a little girl with an angry look on her face. She looked like an angry mouse protesting the loss of cheese.

The same couldn't be said about the woman seated right next to her. This one…..he couldn't even tell how strong she was even by estimating.

This raw unfettered power was absolutely disgusting and no matter how hard she tried to hide it…it was just too absurd not to notice
