The thug's face turned pale when he saw Edwin's face looked like he was going to s@#$ himself. Which Edwin thought was funny so he let out a chuckle that scared the thug even more. He looked at the thug with a captivating smile and said
" Hey if you tell me who's behind this I'll only torture you a little bit," he said joyfully while giving him a good-natured thumbs up at him.
"The hells wrong with your kid, why would I tell you the only bargaining chip that's keeping me alive!!!" the thug hastily yelled this while backing away hoping Edwin wouldn't notice, but of course he did and he said " Great I tried a nice way so better do it the fun way."
As he cast mind manipulation Edwin's black eyes started to change to a charming luminescent green as he stared at the thug his sense of movement suddenly went limp he grew hazy, as he started to get entranced by those captivating eyes willing to do anything to please them.
"Now tell me who the one that wanted to cripple me?" Edwin demanded waiting for a response. The thug looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't they manage "he'll... kill me…" "Who will, who is he!?" hey yelled as his green eyes glowed brighter than before
" his name is …. Ryan...Lure…" the man collapsed to the ground panting like a dog. Edwins gave a shocked expression and soon remained calm again and his eyes dimmed and returned back to normal "Thanks for the info I'll keep my end of the deal."
edwin gave him another cheerful smile as he raised his fist towards the thug " wait please don't i'm sor….." but before he could continue he was strongly punched in his chest, as blood spurted out of his mouth he hit the floor, before he could recover his ugly face was lifted up by the hair.
As he was met with punch after punch from Edwin. Soon after about a good long five minutes, the miserable thug looked unrecognizable that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. His blood covered face was completely swollen and covered in bruises, also his mouth was either toothless or had chipped broken teeth, his eyes were that of a broken doll tears dripping down his face cover in snot as he mumbled incoherently.
" huh what a wuss couldn't stand five minutes of torture" he spoke aloud looking down at the now broken thug "no wonder he sucks at robbing people, pathetic trash!" he thought condescendingly as he slashed the thugs neck with the switchblade, he then closed his eyes as the spirit of the thug was absorbed into him "BOOM!"
A shockwave surrounded Edwin's body, his previously thin frail body had become taller and muscular, his skin was smooth and white like jade, his face looked handsome and complemented his deep black eyes that oozed out the charm.
"Great I'm now low stage 2 I can now use Barrier spells and can now make rank 10 runes" he said with glee at stage 2 warlocks get more vitality for the body which increases mana storage and healing ability in the body and also gives more power to spell making them quicker and stronger than before.
As well as unlocking barrier spells such as "Shadow shield" and"Reflection." Though the most important aspect was the ability to craft runes now!" he thought in satisfaction.
