The Last Warlock

Seeing the man in black still alive and walking amidst the flames, and having lost a mage already, the four guys panicked, and panic in a battle could only result in death.

As their thoughts went wild, thinking about what to do, Mack dashed to the front, bringing with him a gust of flame behind him.

The guy at the front slashed his sword vertically, trying to stop Mack's momentum, but for his surprise, Mack still running took a large step to the left using his right leg, completely evading his strike, when he was about to swing his sword to the left, Mack right sword sliced his chin in two.

Mack didn't stop his advance at any moment and barely his right sword slashed the guy at the front. He twisted his body and took a step with his left foot, showing his back to the guy behind the first man.

The man thought was his opportunity, but the moment he raised his sword to strike, blood spurted from his mouth.

He suddenly felt wet all over his body and looking below, he saw Mack's left sword halfway lunged on his own chest, and blood gushing out of it.

Mack removed his left sword, and giving a strong kick to the ground to stop the momentum of his dash, transferred all the 'force' to his arms by spinning his body once more and opening his arms to both sides.

The two remaining guys didn't even had the time to react as their heads fell to the ground.

Still with open arms to the sides, and a lowered head covered by his hood, Mack took his time as the bodies of all the four guys fell to the ground at the same time.

The disturbing noise of fire burning behind Mack mixed with the four bodies falling to the ground, made the scene even more eerie for the spectators at the beach.

Mack quickly twisted his pulses, and the swords got wiped of all the still dripping blood from the deads.

He raised his halfway lowered body and put the swords on his belt.

While doing it, all the beach was silent.

Everyone at the beach just stood there watching Mack killing all those guys in front of them.

Mack raised his head and his red eyes could now be seen by everyone at the beach.

For them, things were only turning for worst, because Mack's next words would be a knife at the heart of many.

"My time is precious, so let's just end this bullshit of recruitment...."

"From now on, no one may step foot inside this jungle. If you want to come inside, leave your head behind, otherwise just stay still for half an hour."

Said Mack in a half robotic voice, but everyone on the beach could hear clearly as a thunder. 

Barely the trial had started and almost a dozen of people already died. For the ones who doubted their own skills even a little, this was the nail in their hopes of joining this organization, and in this kind of world, everyone needed someone to back them up.

Hearing what Mack said, a slim guy at the beach seemed to not be able to contain himself and shouted, "Bullshit! Let's we all just kill that guy and take his pendants, then we can move with the trial! I don't even want his pendants, you guys can take it!"

Once the man said that, a commotion started at the beach and people seemed to be discussing with each other while others just raged their indignation and frustration, shouting nonsense one after the other.

Mack could not care less about what they thought and vanished in the spot. He had said what he wanted. If they wanted to come, so be it.

A guy noticed Mack vanishing and screamed, "He has a cloaking item or skill, I just saw him disappear."

"I saw it too! It's just a shameless guy that stab behind people's back!"

Screamed a girl, pointing his finger to where Mack stood before disappearing.

Once Mack disappeared, groups of people started to form, not only because of Mack, but because they knew they would need to use numbers to take advantage in this trial.

For them, Mack was just trying to scare the weak, but if fewer people entered and larger groups formed, it would be hard to take full advantage of groups, most likely some large groups would need to fight instead of ambushing lone people or attacking smaller groups.

But they truly misunderstood Mack's intention. They didn't know, but this man was not one to talk too much. Let alone give warnings.

With the pendants in hand, Mack moved to a large tree and went up to observe better the people at the beach, a few guys were already entering but Mack stood still. It was a small group of ten people that probably came together to the trial.

By the side of that group, another one with twenty people were entering the forest, too. That group Mack could clearly see that was just formed because of the lack of 'formation' when moving.

Barely five minutes passed, and it was time for another show.

Mack deactivated his cape, pointed his right palm to the group, and pressed a rune in his right arm.

'So many serums, let's see if was worth it'

Thought Mack, activating his variation of a fireball runespell

But different from a fireball runespell, this runespell used the 'rule' rune along with fire runes, and the effect was totally different.

Mack activated the runespell, but no ball of flame came from Mack's palm. Not even a slight wind, but dozens of meters below where Mack was, the screams of the twenty people's group could be heard.

"Hahahahahah"

Hell had descended upon earth, and the devil just laughed happily.

"Definitely worth it"

Said Mack to himself, seeing not even a speck of dust was left uncharred. The entire place that those twenty people were had become a black spot in the green forest.

It was instantaneous combustion. Once the fire burned for a second, there was not a thing anymore to consume and it ended. It was different from a fireball, where the fire would spread once hitting the place. This was a runespell using the rule rune, and what Mack did was just mark a place for it to happen.

A charred area of fifty meters and dozens of burned corpses could be seen.

The group of ten people close to the area halted their steps and was unsure if to continue or if to go back to the beach.

"I GAVE YOU A CHOICE! STAY OR DIE!"

Screamed Mack, using all the air in his lungs, and all the beach fell silent again.

This time, they were not thinking that Mack was bluffing anymore.
