Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 816: A New Relationship

The strange man who had entered was not wearing traditional Pagna clothing. He had come in with a walking stick, standing there, holding the top of the stick with both hands.

He wore a bright blazer made up of blue, gold, and white colors, and also had a pocket watch hanging from the pocket of his blazer down to his trousers.

His bright hair was slightly between blonde and white. It was hard to pinpoint a colour but it had a strange strength to it, not appearing weak. Along with the rest of his clothing, this all made him stand out quite a bit different from Pagna warriors. On top of that, the man had not entered alone. By his side, there were two figures in robes.

They were black-colored, with a red hood at the top. The bottom of the robe was heavily tattered, but neither of their facial expressions could be seen due to the square iron-like mask covering their faces.

Immediately when Kawak saw these three, particularly the man in the center, there was a large frown on his face, but even though he recognized this figure, there were many in the Light Faction who did not.

They turned, looking at each other.

”Wasnʼt the Mirror Clan stationed outside this time as security? How did they manage to get in?”

”Were they invited? I donʼt think so, and I donʼt recognize their clanʼs uniform at all. Iʼm not sure theyʼre part of the Light Faction.”

”Hey!” Haris shouted, and immediately jumped down from his position and landed on the ground. ”What did you do to my men outside? Three like you would never be able to get through them.

”Not unless you played some type of dirty trick! Tell me, now!” Haris had drawn his single- handed sword, which was relatively large in size and would almost be a greatsword in othersʼ hands.

Instead of acknowledging the man in front of him, the blonde-haired man stared up and looked directly at Kawak with a smile. He then pulled out a handkerchief.

”I just realized that I missed a spot,” the man said as he wiped a speck of red from his hands, while the handkerchief was soaked red.

”Impossible, impossible!” Haris shouted as he charged forward. His sword was shining bright along with his feet, and he kicked off from his position.

He ran right past Ricar and the others, swinging his sword from above, ready to strike down. In the middle of his strike, one of the robed men at the side reached out his hand.

In front of everyoneʼs eyes, the first swift strike coming from above appeared to slow down. It was moving through the air, along with the rest of the energy around him, all moving at an incredibly slow speed as if in slow motion, while everyone could see things clearly.

”Deleters, delete him for me,” the blonde-haired man ordered.

The other robed figure on the other side of the man then crouched down, preparing his hand. Lightning started to form around his fist, taking the shape of a vicious tiger.

Right after, large sparks appeared from his feet, and the robed figure exploded forward. With his fist, he punched directly into Harisʼ chest. When it hit, the lightning branched out and condensed, allowing the Deleterʼs hand to easily go through his body.

There was nothing Haris could do, as he seemed to be stuck in slow motion. No matter how hard he tried to swing or move his sword to block the strike, nothing worked.

Even in his final moments, as life escaped from him, it seemed like time moved slowly.

”Two on one... thatʼs not very fair,” were Harisʼ last words.

The Light Faction members, seeing one of their clan heads taken out in front of them, were beyond furious. Many of them were ready to enter the arena floor immediately to strike, despite what they had just seen.

”STOP!” Kawak ordered as he slammed his fist on his chair. A resounding echo spread along with his Qi, hitting everyone, making them aware he was serious about his order.

”I donʼt want to lose important members of our faction. We canʼt fall apart just because they are here... for those of you who are unaware, the person in front of you is Heino, the leader of the group you all know as Alter,” Kawak explained.

Currently present in the Light Faction, nearly everyone knew of the group Alter, but knowing the other things they did or who the leader was, was a privilege only a few knew, and that included Ricar and Kawak.

ʼSo those were the infamous Deleters I heard about,ʼ Ricar thought. ʼIt seems they are just as strong as stated. If there is ever a large issue that Alter wishes to get involved in, they send one of their Deleters to deal with the situation.ʼ

ʼHow many times have we had to cover up for them,ʼ Ricar thought.

”Thank you for the introduction,” Heino smiled. ”Itʼs so nice to meet you all. Those in the Light Faction have used my services multiple times.”

”And Kawak, you didnʼt think I would just leave things be and not come back for payment for everything I gave you, after all, they were just being borrowed, right?”

Kawak didnʼt say anything; it was almost as if he couldnʼt to this man in front of him. Even though there were only two next to him, and the entire clan heads of the Light Faction, Kawak didnʼt try to anger the person in front of him.

”We can deal with that,” Kawak eventually said. ”Why donʼt you tell us why you have decided to appear right now in front of us all?”

Heino then lifted up his cane a few inches off the ground and slammed it down. The floor lit up beneath his feet.

”There is a problem that has occurred, a common enemy that we both have,” Heino explained. ”I think itʼs time to make our temporary relationship a permanent one.”
