Dark Magus Returns

338 What I've been Waiting For

Plon and the others were in shock; for one, they had no idea that so many beasts had come out from the mansion. If they had, they wouldn't have been standing still and instead running off completely in the other direction.

They would have had no hope of defeating the beasts or the other Pagna warriors. Yet, it almost looked like a war had taken place.

A battle between beasts and humans, a slaughter that had taken place on both sides, but that wasn't the case at all.

Everything that had happened, it had all been the result of a single person.

"Why did we need to close our eyes?" Claire whispered, still glancing at the iron-masked man.

There oddly wasn't any blood on his clothes, so they found it hard to believe he had done anything, but since he was the only person that was fully standing, they had no choice but to think it was him.

"I don't know, maybe it was some secret technique that he used or something that he didn't want others to use. Either way, we should be quiet about it. It's clear, he is on another level compared to us," Plon commented.

With the beasts defeated and Raze's stats having been increased, he was quite satisfied with the results.

"Hey!" Raze shouted over to the others. "Do you mind extracting the crystals for me? In return, each of you can have a power stone."

There were no complaints from the group as Plon and the others rose from the ground like bamboo shoots, pulling out their small carving daggers and immediately got to work.

When Raze turned around, he was expecting to still see Fin and Graft in the same area they were at before. He had left them to deal with the beasts.

Instead, though, there was only one person that still remained.

"I'm sorry, sir," Graft said. "I was unable to keep him here. I am just a second stage warrior; he is a fourth stage warrior. I would have lost my life if I did anything."

Fin had taken the chance when he saw the beasts arrive; he didn't hesitate to leave the area as quickly as he could. To be honest, Raze wasn't so mad since he had used the right opportunity that came his way. It was his only way of escaping because Raze certainly would have dealt with him after that.

"You seem to know him, right? The only place he could have run to was his Clan?" Raze asked.

"Correct," Graft replied.

"Well, I need to get the job done, so I might need to pay a visit to them in the future," Raze thought to himself.

Alba and Froma were still taken aback by everything they had seen. A newfound strength, a person who was able to best others using a number of powers.

They felt like they might be witnessing someone truly special, a one-of-a-kind person right in front of them.

"It's a shame the other one got away," Froma said. "I was too distracted watching the Dark Magus in action that I didn't even notice him leaving."

"Maybe this isn't our place to get involved anyway," Alba replied. "We came here to protect the Dark Magus, for fear the Behemoth Clan would get involved, but that hasn't happened."

You know, the Divine ones don't like it when different stages get involved with the lower stages too much."

What Alba stated was a general rule. The world of Pagna was vast and full of life, including those that weren't warriors.

However, the Divine beings didn't even live in the same realm as that of everyone else. They had also somewhat set a rule for themselves not to get involved in the affairs of the Lower realm of Pagna.

The Lower realm was the world of Pagna which consisted of the Initial Stage and Middle stage warriors.

It felt like a different world to the Divine beings, and Middle stage warriors were meant to be those that were aiming to rise to the Divine realm.

It almost looked bad on Middle stage warriors if they were just practically bullying Initial stage warriors in every way possible.

Once they reached the Divine stage, if they did, they would surely face the wrath of those above that had witnessed what they had been doing this whole time.

"Besides, I'm not too sure that the Dark Magus will like that we are looking and spying from above. He's already tried to get rid of all of those that have seen his strange powers," Alba explained.

"But, we already knew he had powers. We saw him use it against the Elder as well," Froma replied. "I guess he somewhat trusts us in a way since he didn't get rid of us."

Alba was thinking that was because the Dark Magus couldn't get rid of them. They were all Middle stage warriors, too strong for the Dark Magus.

Whatever his reason was for trying to keep his powers a secret, Alba had to keep an eye on it all.

"Come on, let's get going. I've confirmed what I wanted to see. It seems it was true the Dark Magus really did defeat those in the Behemoth Clan," Alba said.

The two of them stood up and were ready to leave, but just as they were, they could feel a large amount of rumbling coming from underneath their feet.

"What's with all this shaking?" Froma shouted, as she was hopping on and off one leg to the other to try to keep her balance.

"This, it's coming from underneath; we need to get out of here!" Alba shouted.

The two of them had no choice; they needed to jump down, and that's exactly what they had done.

They jumped from the mansion top, and it didn't go unnoticed by Plon and the others.

"Look, two people, they're falling from the mansion top!" Plon pointed.

Still, all of them could experience a deep shaking for some reason, and the moment Alba and Froma landed on the ground, the mansion had exploded into pieces, sending a shockwave out.

"It's the Dimension boss!" Graft shouted. "We have to get out of here!"

"Get out of here?" Raze replied. "This is what I've been waiting for."
