A plan?

Logan heard what this man had said, but he wasn't buying it. 'He thinks he can trick me?'

As Logan slowed down his attack, the scholar immediately condensed his essence of nature. "Dark wave!" A pulsating mass of darkness swept towards Logan, who had been prepared for the attack. He dodged it with ease, using his essence of vibration to move swiftly.

"I thought you said you weren't serious about killing me?" Logan's voice could be heard from the side of the scholar as he appeared beside him like a ghost. The scholar felt a chill run down his spine. He thought that the last attack was surely going to consume Logan.

But it seemed he had underestimated Logan's wits. "Pftt!" He spat out a mouthful of blood as Logan's red sword light could be seen protruding through the scholar's stomach.

"Wait, don't kill me. You'll start an all-out war between the Origin faction and the Azure faction." The scholar pleaded for his life, lacing it with some threats.
