Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 614 The Coliseum

?Originally, Raze was a little dispirited as he saw the carriages go past the large cities and towns. After seeing some of the farming equipment the Light Faction used, he wanted to see more that was displayed in the city.

After all, the last Light Faction place he had gone to was eliminated almost immediately leaving only rubble behind.

There was something else that had bothered him about the Light Faction for the longest time as well, and that was the fact that the Light Faction elder they fought against knew how to use magic.

Not only that, but he had a reaction when Raze had mentioned that he was the Dark Magus, as if he knew him from Alteian.

Regardless, the carriages were now approaching, heading through the large entrances, and there were crowds that were surrounding the outside of the platform area, queuing up to get inside.

Looking at the people, there were a mix of Pagna martial artists, regular citizens, and he even was able to see some higher kingdom officials.

ʼOut of all the people here, not just those from the Factions will be present, but Iʼm sure there will be people from the Bonum Society and Alter as well.ʼ

ʼAlter didnʼt have a big presence in the Demonic Faction, probably because the Demonic Clans never would use their services that they offered to others.ʼ

ʼThe more I learn about Belil and those like him, I can imagine if they used strange powers he might just execute them, but Alter is meant to have a big presence in the Light and Dark Faction, they will definitely be here.ʼ

Which just meant Razeʼs restriction of magic was even higher than it was before.

The contestants as well as other factions were to enter through a separate entrance located at the back.

Descending from their carriages, there were a large number of Light Faction warriors at the entrance.

Even when they went inside into the large coliseum, there were Light Faction warriors at every single turn and corner.

They were guided until they had entered a room that gave them a view of the arena. It was almost a separate underground box on the lowest floors of the coliseum that looked out onto the main field.

Inside the room, there were plenty of furniture and refreshments for the group to have as well.

”This will be the resting room for the Demonic Faction. All of those that arenʼt taking part should return here and remain here.ʼ

”If we wish to leave, or need anything, please just give a knock on the door you have entered from, and someone will come to help you.”

”From here, you will all have a clear view of the fight that is happening.”

”Stationed around Iʼm sure you will be able to see boxes just like yours, the Light Faction and the Dark Faction will be present and away from you so you can have your peace,” one of the female Light Faction members explained.

The box they were in was quite large; at least fifty people could sleep here, not just stay to watch the match.

When looking out at the other boxes where the other factions were, there was a strange reflective glass on the outside.

They could see out, but others when looking in could just see a reflection.

ʼIʼm guessing that the others are in there, and they have no clue that Iʼm here.ʼ

”Question!” Anna said before the Light Faction member left the room. ”Can I watch from the stadium? I just prefer the higher view.”

”Just you alone?” The Light Faction member was taken aback by the request and looked around wondering if the others wanted to go with her.

From her knowledge, the only ones they needed to worry about were Sha Mo and Lince. They had also told her to keep an eye on Alba possibly.

Yet, this person in front of her was neither of them, and the request seemed reasonable.

”Of course, but if you wish to leave the coliseum, then please remember to speak to one of us,” the woman said with a bright smile.

Just like that, Anna had left Alba and Raze on their own, in a room full of other Demonic Faction members who all hated them.

”That girl, I thought she came here so she could stay by your side,” Alba complained.

ʼRight, which is why Iʼm confused why she asked to leave, maybe she saw something… or someone,ʼ Raze thought.

From where they were, they could see the stage filling up. The whole area could fill up to 150,000 people. There were clearly those that had come from all over the Light Faction.

And not just the most powerful in the Light Faction would be present, but the Kingdoms, the Empires, and more would all fill the seats.

They were now just waiting to be called out. While waiting to be called out, Raze was looking at the other students.

Brack, Kaylie, and Beret were all warming up with their weapons. After a few swings, they would even meditate.

Some even were getting tips from the other members that were in their clan.

The only ones that werenʼt doing such a thing were Mantis and Raze.

”Are you sure youʼre going to be able to perform in front of this many people?” Alba asked.

”People only get nervous if they care, and about the tournament itself, I donʼt care,” Raze answered.

”Do you want to spar with me? I could serve as a good warm-

up,” Alba asked.

”Itʼs okay,” Raze answered, looking around the room. He still wasnʼt able to shake off the feeling that a large amount of eyes were constantly looking at him since he had entered the Faction area.

At the same time, Anna had done as she said she would; she had been given a ticket and entered among the crowd of people pouring in.

With her eyes, she was looking everywhere until she had finally locked on to a group of people. ”Thatʼs Marcus Ford… the head of the Alter Clan, that handed Raze over to Harvey, this isnʼt good.”
