The Greatest Sinner

After some time of searching, Evan finally found what he wanted. There were four white crystals in the pouch, and they were definitely the same as the one the commander had.

<Hmm, it was definitely them, but why was that crystal green? Maybe it was all about the rank of the monster.> 

Evan didn't fully understand what the crystals in front of him were yet, but he didn't have time to figure it out at the moment. Probably, he would learn more about these crystals in the Academy. Right now, he had another task.

Whoosh.

Evan's spatial ring glowed and he put the pouch into it. His ring was an artifact of the zero rank , so the capacity was quite small. Nevertheless, he could take not particularly large items.

Other than the crystals, Evan didn't touch anything.  Nobody would quickly notice the missing of a small pouch. If he sorted out the rest he would just go back and take what he could.

Step. Step. Step.

Evan heard two men walking toward him. One of them said loudly: "Babe, what's taking you so long, boss is waiting for you."

Evan just leaned against the wall and waited for the two men to get close enough. He had the element of surprise on his side, so he was sure he could easily take them down.

"Hey, where are you?" Said one of them looking into the warehouse.

Whoosh.

At the same moment, he saw a white blade coming at him. He couldn`t even make a sound,as his head fell down the floor. His companion suffered the same fate.

Evan quickly dragged them into the warehouse and hid them under the fur of some monster, just like with the girl before.

<Good job, I've dealt with two more and they haven't spotted me yet. Everything is working out just fine>. Evan thought and headed further down the tunnel.

There were no forks in this underground base, just a few turns that led to rooms.

Evan reached the next room , looked inside, and frowned. There were nine people in there, including the commander. He didn`t see any other passages from this room, so it was obvious that all of them were here.

<Nine men at once... that's going to be pretty hard.> Five of the men were "creating," but the rest of them could have spotted Evan at any moment.

The squad leader was talking to some girl, while the other two were just waiting for something.

Evan looked at the raven sitting quietly on his shoulder and thought to himself, "It would be nice to blow this place to hell." 

But it was too risky. The landslide would be too big, moreover, there was no way Evan could let the leader of the group die. A beam shot in such a narrow space would surely kill him and everyone else without exception.

The young man whispered: "Can you take the two?" 

Raven nodded, it was pretty smart and understood that in this situation it`s better not to make any noise.

Of course, Evan could have tried to just talk to these people, but that would have been the most idiotic thing to do. He had already killed several of their men, so he was unlikely to be welcome here. He should have taken advantage of the surprise and attacked.

Whoosh.

Evan ran forward sharply and swung his scythe. His target was the two men who were "creating" at the moment. Naturally, they had no time to react to such an unexpected and deadly attack. They were killed in just a few seconds.

" Fuck, who are you?!" The commander shouted loudly.

Immediately after his words, the other six men attacked Evan, but suddenly a one-eyed raven appeared in front of two of them. It was an evolved monster and could easily deal with the two magicians who were at the level of the "Star Without Ends".

"What?! Where is that monster from? Kill it!" Shouted the commander and pounced on Evan by himself.

He was sure his men would deal with the monster and at the moment, the most important threat was the stranger in the strange black and white mask.

Bam.

Evan was attacked by several men at once, but he retreated and dodged their attacks. No one cast a spell as it was too dangerous, but Evan decided it was worth the risk.

Mana gathered at the tip of his finger and he cast  the "Magic Missile". The snow-white beam hit one man, and immediately there was a deafening explosion.

It was not as powerful as the raven beam, so Evan decided to cast it. The man who was hit by the ray died instantly, he had no way to defend himself. "Use the spells or he will kill you." The commander said harshly and attacked Evan.

His sword covered itself in fire and came down on Evan. At the same time, various spells flew at the young man. There was no way he could block all of these attacks.

Whoosh.

But he didn't need to block them. He quickly bounced to the side and quickly cast the "Ice Veil". At the same moment, a vine of thorny ivy grabbed three people and Evan instantly inflicted horrible wounds on them.

In less than a minute, he had already disposed of six men. Now all that was left was the commander and two other opponents who were fighting the raven at this moment.

"Who are you?" Gritting his teeth, the commander muttered. He was out of his mind with anger, most of his men had already been killed. He couldn't understand why the man in the black and white mask had come here.

Evan replied briefly, "I'll talk to you later."

Whoosh.

Immediately after saying that, he lunged toward the two men fighting the raven. The monster had already wounded one of them. It far outnumbered them in strength, and it didn't even need to use its ability.

"Stop!" The commander chased after Evan, he wanted to save his subordinates, but he just didn't have time.

Evan was like a reaper of death, whose scythe easily severed the lifeline of every person he encountered.

The two heads fell to the ground, and the one-eyed raven descended on Evan's shoulder. The young man pointed his scythe toward the commander and said stiffly: "Undo the spell and cast your sword."

The commander frowned but did as Evan said. If he wanted to survive and get his revenge, he had to obey now.

"Why have you come here? Who the hell are you?!"

"I'm the one asking the questions here. For starters, what do you do here?" Evan said coldly.

"We're simple hunters. We kill monsters in this forest, collect herbs and sell them in the nearest town. It`s not your business after all! Don't talk like you're an important person!  Both of us haven't reached the "One Pointed Star" yet, I see that in your "Pillar of Soul".

Boom.

No sooner had the commander finished speaking than a snow-white beam exploded a meter from him.

"Shut up, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Answer the questions if you want to live. Where did you get that red mantle and the demon-face mask?"
