When Vicente heard the horrible 'proposal' that Brody Wright had for him, he couldn't help but make an awful face under his mask.
He wouldn't bother to give more of his profits to this faction for the stability he and his family needed to go in search of magic pentagrams. But his weapons were the most valuable thing he had besides his own powers.
Giving them to another group would be remarkably dangerous.
But how could he refuse? The man in front of him could kill him with a wave of his finger!
Vicente could kill level 3 Acolytes with ordinary talents inferior to his own, as was the case with most of his opponents so far. By the same logic, he could fight with some balance, perhaps even advantage, against level 4 Acolytes, but without the chance to kill them. However, before advancing to level 1, he knew he would have no chance of withstanding a single move from a level 5 Acolyte, even if that person had low talent.
