The Greatest Sinner

Throwing a bomb into the Hell Bulls\' Tavern, Evan quickly retreated. With the help of Ghost Step, Evan promptly withdrew to a safe distance. He easily climbed up one of the buildings and watched as the tavern went up in flames.

Boom.

There was a deafening explosion, and the tavern was destroyed. Dozens of yellow lightning bolts spread around, destroying the buildings next to the tavern. Many people died, the kind of explosion only a mage could withstand at the \'One-Pointed Star\' stage. But, even such a person would be very seriously injured. 

Evan didn\'t run away, he waited a few minutes for the Hell Bulls members to arrive on the scene. He had created an uproar now, he needed to take all the attention. The Hell Bulls could track Evan down, but that would take some time, which Evan didn\'t have.

"Great, they\'re already here." Mumbled Evan looking at the approaching squad of ten men. They weren\'t very strong, only one of them was in the One-Pointed Star stage. He was the leader of the group.

The explosion created a lot of commotion and panic for the ordinary residents, so the members of the Hell Bulls arrived here very quickly.

Evan decided not to wait and jumped off the building and appeared right in front of them. He was wearing a mask, so they still didn\'t realize who was standing in front of them.

"Who are you?" The team leader said harshly.

Crackling.

Lightning flashed in Evan\'s right hand. He slowly removed his mask and said: "Say hello to your boss. I\'m sorry I had to destroy such a cute tavern."

Evan threw Ball Lighting at the squad, and there was another explosion. A third of the squad was instantly killed, and the remaining members were wounded. Only the squad leader was unharmed, and he managed to cast some protection spell.

After Evan struck the first blow, he decided to retreat. The squad leader already knows who did all this.

"Report this to the boss and all squad leaders! I went after him." The man said loudly and ran after Evan.

Evan could immediately get away from him since Ghost Step was active. But, he decided to keep a certain distance between him. That way, he wouldn\'t get lost from sight, and the commander wouldn\'t be able to attack him.

<It only remains to lead them to the specified location. I hope I don\'t encounter anyone powerful on the way.> Evan acted defiantly, but he knew that Inlas was full of people stronger than him.

If he hadn\'t encountered members of the Demonic Tree at The Hills of Bloody Falls, the group sent after him would probably have killed him. They were an elite Hell Bulls squad, but there were quite a few other strong men in that organization besides them. Especially their commander. He had one last step to take before he made his breakthrough and reached the \'Three-Pointed Star.\'

Whooosh.

Evan ran into another alleyway and unexpectedly encountered members of the Hell Bulls. They were hitting on some woman, nothing out of the ordinary. Evan thought it was a pretty good encounter, so he killed one on the move and kept running. He was going to get as much attention as he could. Within reason, of course. There was definitely a bounty on his head in this territory.

Realizing what had happened, the members of the Hell Bulls ran after him. In a short time, Evan would be at the designated location. Evan and Roland arranged to meet at a special place. There was the border between Hell Bulls and Dark Dogs territory.

The Dark Dogs were similar to the Hell Bulls in character and purpose and didn\'t get along with Paper Hydrangea either. But, the Dark Dogs were not friends of the Hell Bulls. Their relationship was neutral.

They decided to go there because when Roland leaded Paper Hydrangea there, the full-scale battle would begin. Paper Hydrangea would attack both the Hell Bulls and the Dark Dogs.

Of course, if the Hell Bulls and Dark Dogs unite against their common enemy, they could defeat Paper Hydrangea. But, the Dark Dogs wouldn\'t expect the battle to start in their territory. It would take them some time to mobilize their men. There would be no war if the Hell Bulls and the Dark Dogs defeat Paper Hydrangea, but Evan and Roland have also thought this through.

Dark Dogs bordered on Amethyst Angel. It was an organization friendly to Paper Hydrangea. When the Hell Bulls and Dark Dogs began to win, Amethyst Angel would enter the battle. In the end, the four organizations would fight against each other. Thus four of the five strongest Inlas organizations would fight in one place. Even if the fifth organization didn\'t want to take part, it wouldn\'t change anything.

Whoosh.

Evan ran out of another dark alleyway and climbed to the roof of a building. From there, he could already see the border between the Hell Bulls and the Dark Dogs.

<Maybe this war won\'t last long, but there\'s definitely enough time for us. I can already see Roland and the members of Paper Hydrangea, no problems so far.>

Evan thought as he approached the border. There were Hell Bulls and Dark Dogs men on it.

"Stop! Where are you running to! You can\'t go through!" Seeing Evan, one of the guards tried to stop him, but he didn\'t even know what purpose Evan had come here for.

Whoosh.

Evan\'s \'Warp\' spun, and a purple beam flew toward the guards a second later. "One-Eyed Raven\'s Beam" quickly reached its target, as well as three sharp feathers. After the "Awareness" of that spell went to the first stage, three sharp feathers appeared along the beam.

They were very similar to Reykar feathers, purple and deadly. They were sharp enough to kill most rank zero monsters. Moreover, as of late, One-Eyed Raven\'s Beam had become a level one spell, its power had increased significantly.

Boom.

The purple blast killed several people, and three more were pierced through with sharp feathers. At that moment, Evan made sure that the purified Warp slightly increased the power of his spells.

<The explosion was more powerful than I expected, though, it was for the best. The more noise, the more people will be here. The feathers are pretty powerful, but not too accurate, I was just lucky I hit. There are too many people here. "One-Eyed Raven\'s Beam" is the perfect spell against big enemies. The blast from the beam will cause a severe wound to the monster, and then three sharp feathers will stick into it.>

Evan thought, jumping over the corpses of the bandits who had just died. Those who survived chased after him and told their commanders. Paper Hydrangea would be arriving soon, and Evan had something to do before then.

He put the mask back on and pulled another bomb out of the spatial ring. It cost a little less than the last one, but it had just as much destructive power. It was fiery, and Evan wanted to use it to burn down some houses.

Evan poured in some mana, and the red runes on the bomb lit up.

"Stop it now! Who the hell are you!?" A member of the Dark Dogs yelled in a fury. He understood what Evan was about to do, but there was no way he could stop him.

Evan smiled, a great idea popped into his head. He figured out how to make the impending conflict even more serious.

"Dark Dogs! "Paper Hydrangea declares war on you. It\'s high time you vile bastards got out of this world, and let us rule this place."

Evan turned his back on the man and threw a bomb at some wooden houses.
