678 Fifth Clan (Part 1)

Thud!

With a thudding sound, Malark appeared in Evan's room out of nowhere and fell face first to the ground.

"Huh?" As he was an S rank hunter, this small fall didn't cause any damage to him and he opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes when Malark noticed he was in an unfamiliar place, he was stunned and quickly got up from the ground.

"What is goin_" Malark suddenly stopped speaking midway when he noticed Evan sitting in front of him with a frown on his face. He was rubbing his temples and muttering something in a low voice.

'It seems using the law of space is far more taxing than using the normal laws' Evan said inwardly when he felt he reached his limit just after teleporting Malark here.

After a minute of rest, the strain Evan was feeling on his body subsided a bit and he finally looked at Malark who was standing at a distance from him with a confused face.

"So you are using those essence condensing pills, huh," Evan said after looking at him as he could feel a small amount of world essence inside Malark's body.

Malark felt a little embarrassed when he heard Evan and nodded his head.

While giving him the essence condensing pills, Evan had told him that these pills were of low grade and the world essence that would be produced in his body by consuming these pills would also be of low grade.

Evan had advised him that instead of using these low level pills, he should just use the Tower Of Ascension to advance to Rank One.

Although Evan was not sure, he had a feeling that if they used the Tower of Ascension instead of the pills, their Mana would transform into a higher level world essence.

But now that Malark is using the Essence Condensing Pill to transform his mana into the World Essence, it only means one thing.

"You are not going to use the Tower Of Ascension?" Evan asked Malark.

Malark smiled bitterly when he heard Evan and nodded his head.

"I thought about it all day yesterday and after thinking about everything, I decided to stay in the World Domain instead of using the Tower of Ascension."

"Is there a special reason you decided to stay here?"

"Not really," Malark shook his head hearing Evan's question. "I mean, I wasn't able to do anything here in the world domain and became a slave to the four great clans. There were only rank one core evolvers here in the world domain and I almost lost my freedom.

"I don't even know what will happen if I decide to use the Tower of Ascension and go to Utopia where Rank One Core Evolvers are as common as flies. Besides..."

Malark took a deep breath after saying this and spoke after a moment.

"While using the Essence Condensing Pills, I could feel that my core was reaching its limits. So even if I use the Tower of Ascension I am sure I won't be able to go past Rank One, so there's no point in me risking my life by going to Utopia when I will not even be able to become a Rank Two Core Evolver."

Evan listened to Malark without saying anything. At first, he thought about asking Malark to reconsider his decision, but after hearing that his core was reaching its limits, he decided not to say anything.

'If his core is truly reaching its limits, I also think he should stay here in the World Domain rather than go to Utopia.' Evan thought inwardly.

Even without going to Utopia, Malark can become a Rank One Core Evolver by using the essence condensing and source pill, so if his limit is Rank One, then there is no point for him to go Utopia.

After becoming the rank one Core Evolver in the World Domain, Malark's status will definitely increase because rank one is the limit here. On the other hand, if he uses the Tower of Ascension and goes to Utopia, he may not be able to do anything there.

"So... Are you sure you are not going to Utopia?" Evan asked Malark one final time.

Hearing Evan, Malark nodded his head with the same expression on his face.

Evan smiled when he heard Malark and clapped his hand.

"Well, since you are not going to Utopia you can work for me in the World Domain."

"Huh?... What do you mean by work for you in the World Domain?" Malark asked in a shocked voice. "Don't tell me you're not going to Utopia too?"

Malark knows how absurd Evan's powers are and in his eyes, even the leaders of the four great clans can not fight against him.

'There is no way someone like him will decide to stay in World Domain, right?' Malark thought inwardly.

"Of course, I'm going to Utopia. In fact, if everything goes well I might even leave tomorrow," Evan said when he heard Malark.

"Why did you ask me that question in the first place if you're going to leave? How will I work for you if you're going to leave?"

"Don't worry, you will soon understand what I mean," Evan said and stood up from the bed he was sitting on. "Come with me," He said to Malark and walked out of his room.

Malark felt confused when he heard Evan but he still followed after him.

"By the way, how did I get here from my home?"

Evan's lips curved upwards when he heard Malark's question.

"I used one of my skills to mark you. Because of this skill, I can now control your life and death as I wish. If I want you to die, I just have to say one word and your soul will be obliterated."

"Oh," Malark did not show any kind of reaction hearing Evan and just nodded his head causally.

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch seeing Malark's reaction and he asked him.

"Aren't you afraid now that you are marked by my skill I can kill you with just a single word?"

Malark shrugged his shoulders hearing Evan and said in a shameless voice.

"I am just a weakling. Even without marking me, you can easily slap me to death so why should I be afraid of your skill."

Evan was speechless when he heard Malark.

"Although what you just said is true, you should at least try to act with dignity."

Malark snorted when he heard Evan and did not say anything.

Evan brought Malark deeper area of the castle and stopped in front of the room where he had first met Noir and others.

'Let's hope they will not try to make things difficult for me,' Evan thought and opened the door of the room.
