Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Raze honestly didn't know whether to feel better or worse at the fact that all of the other squad members had the same emblem as the rest of them. It was quite clear that they didn't regularly come in and out of the Demonic Faction.

If anything, it sounded like they had entered fine, but now it was their first time trying to head back, and after what they had just witnessed, everyone felt a little nervous.

It was strange though, Raze wasn't used to this. He liked to plan things out, make sure things worked a particular way, and know what he was doing. Not just leave things up to fate.

As the group were drawing closer and closer, Raze was going through a number of scenarios in his head for what they could do.

'There's a large number of members here, it appears they're working in two groups, there are those sitting down in their seats, around 12 in number, and then the guards in total are about another twelve, six and six, next to the entrance of the mountain.

'I can run through and perhaps use my Ice Magic on the floor making it harder for them to reach us. The entrance looks dark so I doubt they will be able to see what we can do.'

Attacking them and escaping to the other side could cause problems. Although they were of different factions, if a report came through in order to avoid trouble or a war, Raze was sure the Lethal Bite Clan would try and do their best to stop them and offer their heads as a type of peace offering.

'We could try and lie our way through and avoid a fight altogether. They didn't buy that man's lie, but the best lies are the ones with a hint of truth to them… I could use their name. If I was to use the Neverfall Clan's name would they be hesitant and let us through? But then, will it cause the others to ask questions, they believe I've only been in the Demonic Faction for so long.

'And if I need to have some way to confirm it, it might lead to that coming out.'

For a moment, Raze's face felt a little hot.

'Come on!' Raze shouted at his own head. 'This young body sometimes affects my mind more than I can imagine.'

In the middle of all of his thoughts, it was finally their group's turn.Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelenglish.net . Fɪre.ɴet

"Next!" The man shouted.

The group walked ahead together and had arrived at the desk. There was one man sitting down who had two armbands around him. And the others stood fairly close to the rest of the members.

"State your reason for traveling to the Dark Faction!" The man at the desk shouted.

Marcus gathered everyone's emblems since they were the same anyway and placed them on the table.

"We are a group of wanderers that are traveling together. We originally met in the Dark Faction and have been staying in the Demonic Faction, mainly in the city of Repton. We wish to return to the Dark Faction," Marcus explained.

The man picked up one of the emblems on the table and started to inspect it. He then lifted it in the air, the light sparkled off the emblem for a few moments. Raze was sure that the released demeanor that the others had was starting to fade.

It felt as if he could hear their hearts trying to jump out of their chests.

The man then placed another one of the medals down on the table and went to pick up another.

"Inspect their belongings while I check these."

Marcus was more than happy to, as he unstrapped the wooden crate on his back, and Shing who was carrying the others' belongings had done the same. The Pagna warrior came over taking a peek at the guns that were on the inside.

"They are some special ornaments that we have gathered from the Demonic Faction, but they hold no power, you can check it out," Marcus explained.

The man seemed to do just that as he picked up the gun and the bullets, while holding them they just seemed to be oddly shaped pieces of metal in his eyes.

"Everything is fine on my end," the warrior reported.

"Yeah, all is good on my end as well."

Now that was sorted they just needed the okay from the head warrior that was still checking each and every one of the emblems, and as he got another one in his hand he was checking them out for longer each time.

Tanya was starting to tap her foot rapidly on the ground and had folded her arms. Ponyo could feel his lips starting to dry.

In the middle of his inspection, another warrior had come over from the side, jumping from an unknown location. They were all too focused to see where he had come from.

When he landed he took a look at the group, and then leaned in and started to whisper to the leader.

At that moment, they all thought they were done for, something had happened that made it so they had figured everything out. Raze felt the same way as well and took a step forward.

"Close the tunnel!" The head warrior shouted.

Immediately the twelve men who were next to the tunnel, they all started to pull the levers that were positioned behind them. They were pulling them one after the other and the levers would rise back up.

Each time they pulled them using their Qi the levers were heavy and from the top of the large whole entrance a metal door was coming down.

'Crap, did they really find something out!' Raze thought. 'We have to act now, I have to do something before the door closes, otherwise I will have to resort to the other option.'

Just as Raze was going to mark his move, it was as if a mechanism had activated in the wall, and halfway through the door shutting down it slammed on the ground. Raze's hand was reached out pointed toward the door, and for a moment he thought about using his Dark Pulse to try and blow a hole through the door, but decided against it.

Marcus's eyes himself were lingering on the weapons in the boxes. He knew that their life might be over now. Things happened to Alter's like this all the time, but he might as well try and live a little longer.

The man stood up, and looked at the group.

"I'm afraid a serious matter has occurred, and we have locked down the path to the Dark Faction!" The main leader shouted. "We, the Lost Clan, have the responsibility to do whatever it is we can to protect you all, everyone please head indoors to the closest buildings possible and stay put until we say so."

The words and thought of the group, they weren't matching up. They weren't being suspected of fake emblems, so what had exactly happened? Or what was happening.

Listening in, the noises from behind, in the distance they sounded like terrifying screams, and it wasn't just one or two people, the sound was coming from hundreds.

"Everyone, until the situation is over, I repeat, stay indoors!" The leader shouted.
