(From MC''s perspective)


    The hunters writhed on the ground. The middle-aged man''s eyes show that he wanted to plead. However, their fate has already been decided.


    Puff


    Blood gushes from their neck. The wizards noticed something on their necks in the blink of an eye. Within the next second, multiple heads rolled across the ground.


    I shed the hunter''s throat quickly with my dagger. When I was done, I put the dagger back in my storage bracelet.


    When ites to killing, the dagger is very handy. Then I proceed to rob the hunters of their valuables.


    Time passed,


    I sat down on one of the tree branches. Everything was cleared out in 10 minutes. And now I get to see the storage items. First, I took the storage bracelet from the middle-aged man.


    When I used my mental strength to probe, I discovered no limitations. Then I looked into the storage area. As is customary, there are numerous items piled up, ranging from potions to herbs. Scrolls and other safety items are ced inside the storage bracelet.


    However, seeing these items did not surprise me. Because they are all used by level 1 wizards. It won''t bring you much money if you sell it. After that, I checked the storage items for the other four bracelets.


    "Poor fellows," I muttered under my breath when I noticed how few items were in the storage bracelets.


    My brow furrowed as I noticed this. If I want to make money by looting, I need to change my goal. Then I decided to venture into the hill areas.


    Time passed,


    I arrived at the familiar location after an hour. It''s the small ins'' big shade tree. This is right before the foot of the hill peaks.


    I had previously fought againstrge wolf packs. I''m not sure if I''ll be able to see any monsters today. When I was resting in the shade of the massive tree.


    I heard several voices from a distance. When I heard that, I immediately sat up and decided to confirm one more time.


    I heard the same voice when I perked up my ears to listen. There is no question about it. It is the people''s voice. I realized that hunters, like me, hade here to rest.


    I jumped onto a tree branch the next second. I found a suitable hiding ce. After 5 minutes, three wizards arrived at this massive tree.


    When I saw the suspicious badge on their chest, a cold glint shed into my eyes. Because the badge was shaped like a sword, I immediately thought of the Sword Guild.


    These days, I have to say. I''m constantly in contact with Sword Guild wizards. But I''m not sure if this is a good thing.


    I noticed three of them staring at each other. When I noticed this, I perked up my ears to listen. Something intriguing is happening down there.


    "Give me my fair share, Max. I don''t want to go hunting any longer." In a solemn tone, a scarred wizard inquired.


    Three of them are dressed in a ck adventurer suit, as opposed to the standard green model.


    But each of them wore a different badge on their chest. A silver sword-shaped badge.


    The other two were rmed when they heard the scar-faced wizard''s words.


    Max, the group''s leader, wore a ck mask to conceal his face. He has a slim build. In contrast to the scarred wizard, his body appeared to be riddled with holes.


    He was severely injured. To stop the bleeding, potions were applied to the injured areas. When asked to share the profits, the leader Max''s face darkened.


    Max is well aware that doing so now will result in his death.


    He has no choice but to rely on another teammate.


    Rick, the third wizard, was a regr guy. He didn''t hide his expression. When he heard the scar-faced wizard''s words, he had a lot of thoughts.


    He chuckled as he saw Max''s pleading eyes and said, "Max, I can save you if you give me your silver patterned vines."


    Both the scarred wizard and Max were taken aback when he said those words. Max had no idea Rick would ask for benefits at this critical juncture.


    The scarred wizard scowled, "I know you''re a two-faced b@stard, Rick. Do you think I''ll let it happen?"


    While this discussion was taking ce. I couldn''t calm my heart on top of the tree. VINES WITH SILVER PATTERNS!


    These silver-patterned vines, if my memory serves me correctly, are a rare nt-type relic. It is also ssified as a special relic.


    But aside from the image and the name. I was unable to recall the description. Because it is a unique relic, I believe its benefits should not be underestimated.


    If any nt-type wizardse across this relic, they will go to any length to obtain it. I''m curious where they got this relic.


    I feel like a pie that has fallen from the sky. How long has it been since I''vee across genuine relics? My eyes twinkled with light.<novelnext></novelnext>


    I''m aware that one of the guys is hurt. He''s practically on his deathbed. So I only have to worry about those two. Those two will most likely fight, with the winner receiving the special relic.


    Simultaneously, I decided to keep an eye on my surroundings. It will be disastrous if someone interrupts at a critical moment, as it was thest time.


    "Ha...Ha...Ha..." Rick burst outughing.


    "Winston, you have a lot of self-esteem," Rick replied with a smile.


    After hearing his old name, the scar-faced wizard''s expression bes solemn. As someone touched his taboo, his face became distorted with rage.


    WHOOSH


    Winston, the scarred wizard, attacked the enemy with his speed magic. His movements were so quick that he appeared in front of Rick in the blink of an eye.


    Rick, on the other hand, was unfazed. He had anticipated this. When he saw Winston leave his spot, he immediately released his magic.


    METAL ELEMENT


    When the spell was cast, a silver-coloredyer quickly formed around Rick''s neck. The next second, a lethal de touched the silver skin''s surface.


    CLANG


    A metallic sound echoed throughout the area. Rick used metal elements to shield his neck. Winston would go after his vital organs to kill him, he knew.


    Rick leaped backward after the block to gain some distance.


    The scar-faced wizard cursed him at the same time. One of the issues with fighting teammates is that everyone knows your moves.


    ? CLANG


    The metallic sound reverberates throughout the area as both of them employ simr tactics. The scarred wizard used his speed magic to find a gap. He can kill Rick as long as he gets some small gap.


    Rick, on the other hand, was entirely focused on defending his vital parts. He knows that as long as the enemy runs out of mana, he will have a good opportunity to retaliate.


    While this was going on, the group''s leader was checking on his injury. He finally saw the real faces of his teammates today. It''s due to the silver-patterned vine. They decided to act because of the special relic.


    When he thinks about it, his heart swells with rage. He felt a sense of urgency in his heart as he witnessed the shes between the two. One of them will undoubtedly murder him in order to conceal the truth.


    Puff


    He coughed blood up. When he noticed this, he quickly checked his storage bracelet. He went to see if there was any leftover healing potion avable.


    However, he discovered that his storage bracelet contained no potions. His mood deteriorated. After a few seconds of thought, a strong determination rose in his heart.


    In addition to the silver-patterned vines, there is a ck box in the corner. When Max saw it, he gulped his saliva. He doesn''t want to use this unless absolutely necessary.


    But he got himself into a pickle today. He has to use this to kill his treacherous teammates. His eyes were filled with trepidation. If he uses this, there is no turning back.


    He removed the cover of the ck box with his mental strength. Then he noticed a red scroll floating in mid-air. Max''s heart skips a beat when he sees the scroll''s glowing glint.


    The scroll''s red color conveys a lethal vibe.


    Max''s eyes were filled with determination. He decided to take his teammates with him because he was going to die anyway.


    SCROLL TIER-1 FORBIDDEN SPELL/ BLOOD SACRIFICE


    A lethal scroll containing a forbidden blood spell. For sacrifices, the forbidden spell is used. Under certain conditions, a single scroll can be used to sacrifice one or two level one wizards.


    1st condition


    To activate the spell, the caster must make a sacrifice.


    2nd condition


    The opponent must be a level 1 wizard. The number of enemies should not exceed two at any given time.


    3rd condition


    The enemy''s mana should have run out.


    When Max remembered all of those conditions, a cold glint shed into his eyes.
