The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 229 - Dark Reaper

While Evan and Roland were looting the vault of the Paper Hydrangea, four of the five strongest organizations were fighting in Inlas. War engulfed the entire city, and it even affected the fifth organization. No one could disturb Evan and Roland, all the contents of the Paper Hydrangea's vault now belonged to them.

Evan and Roland slowly went inside. They had never seen a vault filled with so much wealth before. This vault was not like a mountain of gold with various weapons, but it was a little different.

The vault was vast, with numerous weapon stands in the center. These were all Catalysts. Most of the weapons were first rank, but there were a few of the second rank. There was everything from shields to chains and from clubs to sharp swords.

Everything else: armor, artifacts, coins, treasure, jewels, medicine, and so on were in spatial rings.

.

They were in special boxes on shelves. There was an enormous amount of them, and Evan was going to take exactly half of them. Of course, Evan was tempted by the idea of taking all of them, but he didn't see much point in doing so. Half of all the treasures were more than enough. He didn't want to betray Roland and fight him. Roland was a man who showed himself to be a strong and honest companion. Such men were worth far more than the most valuable treasure.

Evan and Roland examined the various Catalysts and the contents of the sparial rings. They were arranged in compartments, so it was easy to see which ring had which things in it.

"Evan, I have a favor to ask of you." Suddenly Roland said.

"What do you want?" Asked Evan.

"I want all the katanas that are here."

"Well, I'm not going to fight with a katana anyway, at least not anytime soon." Evan simply replied.

He knew that Roland's favorite weapon was katanas, and what's more, there weren't many here. Only three. Two first-ranked katanas and one second-ranked.

Evan was picking up his own weapons as well. His scythe was broken, and he wanted to see how Lucifer's Shackles would interact with the weapons. Evan's favorite weapon was the scythe. Unfortunately, it was an extremely uncommon weapon. There was only one scythe in the vault, of the first rank.

"Dark Reaper..." Mumbled Evan looking at the name of the scythe. The weapon looked very simple but deadly and elegant.

The scythe was entirely forged from a rare and durable dark metal. There were no patterns, drawings, or engravings on it, only the hilt and the incredibly sharp blade.

"It's worth trying this weapon out," Evan muttered and took the Dark Reaper in his hands. The scythe was quite heavy, but Evan was strong enough to swing it without a problem.

Whooosh.

Evan's "Warp" swirled, and the next moment there were many stripes on his arms. The tattoos slowly transitioned to a scythe, and to Evan's surprise, the weapon was fine.

<Great, my past weapons weren't strong enough, but this scythe can handle that kind of pressure.> Evan thought as he watched the tattoos cover the weapon entirely.

Evan felt the change immediately. The scythe became a little heavier but also much more powerful. He wanted to test the effect, and so he made a simple swing.

Whooosh.

The blade slammed into the floor and slammed easily into the dense stone. What's more, there were many cracks from the place of the cut, spreading all over the vault. This showed that the scythe was not only sharp but also mighty.

"Huh, awesome. Okay, I'll practice later, we need to get everything we've got out of here and get out of here." Mumbled Evan and began to move the Catalysts into their spatial ring.

Roland also didn't hesitate and took his part of the weapon. He didn't care much about his choice, he had his katanas, and he wasn't going to use any other weapons.

They divided the rest of the resources equally. If there were only 10 rings of medicine, they each got 5 rings, the same went for the rings of other things.

Since they were in special boxes, Evan and Roland didn't have to fear that the rings would suddenly explode.

<Eh, if I had known that all the resources were allocated to the spatial rings, I wouldn't have spent the money to buy them. Alright, I'll resell them, I'll have to give one of them to Malespera.> Evan thought as he picked up another box.

After about ten minutes, they left the Paper Hydrangea base. They had succeeded, all the witnesses had been killed, and Inlas was mired in war. Even from here, the sounds of fighting and explosions could be heard, but that wasn't Evan and Roland's problem.

They simply headed for Evan's house. No one should have suspected them because they were simple mages who did not belong to any organization on the surface. Moreover, it was almost impossible to know that they were the ones who had taken all the stuff from the Paper Hydrangea vault. It was necessary to get into their spatial rings to do so. Evan and Roland had nothing to worry about.

"Evan, where are you going?" Roland asked with a smile on his face. He was in high spirits. He didn't expect that they could get so much treasure so easily. Sure, they had some problems, but they solved them quickly.

"Up north, in Vextin, it's a big town where you can progress fast. You can find anything there, I think I can do a lot with treasure like that." Evan calmly replied as he watched the ordinary people flee from the battle in the distance. Against this chaos, Evan and Roland looked too calm.

"Hmm, Vextin, I know the place, but the weather there is not good. I'll probably head south, closer to the ocean." Pronounced Roland.

"I'm not surprised. Your elements are lightning and water, the ocean is the perfect place for you." Said Evan.

He had only watched Roland fight a few times, but Evan could say with certainty that Roland liked using those two elements as much as he liked using katanas.

Roland smiled and asked: "By the way, Evan, which element do you prefer to use?"

"I don't know." Evan shook his head, "I have nothing against fire, wind, or stone, but that's not it. I need to learn more spells so I can make up my mind about my choices."

Evan actually wanted to use spells based on blood magic, dark magic, and soul magic. But he didn't tell Roland that. He didn't need to know that. What's more, Evan hadn't found any such spells yet, so he didn't know what to expect.

"Okay, Evan, it's been nice working. I'm off." Roland said goodbye and went back to his house.

A few minutes later, Evan was already back at his mansion. Malespera was waiting for him where he told her, so, under cover of night, they headed for the exit of the burning city.

Many lives were lost, hundreds of Inlas residents were killed, and dozens of mages were burned. The balance of power was broken, and the strongest organizations continued to fight. All of this was perpetrated by two mages on the stage - the 'One-Pointed Star.'

"Evan, where are we going?" Malespera asked.

She didn't understand what was going on and why there were constant explosions and screams. Moreover, she was startled by the faces of the residents distorted with fear and despair.

"Malespera, have you ever seen snow?"
