Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1015: Always Two Steps Ahead

Many strong individuals had gathered behind that of the Dark Magus, but with it they also now had a large amount of territory to cover and look after. Amir was at the Dark Faction Academy along with a large number of individuals, the Bonum Society, and he even had Mantis with him as well.

It seems Mantis had asked to become his student of some sort after the last fight with Sha Mo. Rayna was looking after Flendon, and the Crimson Crane were free flowing between the two places, but ultimately they were staying in the town of Flendon.

It was their preferred place at the moment, particularly because the Dark Faction and the Academy still felt to be slightly in mourning over everything that had occurred.

So when Safa, Simyon, and Liam had claimed they were to head north, to venture to where the island was, there were many individuals that had asked to go with them, but in the end, only Dame had set out with them.

He was selected for a few reasons. One, he had a closer connection with the three compared to others due to being at the Dark Faction Academy with them. The second was because Dame knew the Demonic Faction well, which was where they were all currently traveling through. The four were in a carriage which was steadily heading north.

”Man, I canʼt believe you chose the name Pink of all things back at the academy,” Liam said, slapping his knee as he was finding it hilarious, but not as funny as Dame was finding it.

”Right, right, talking about the person with a single eyepatch who likes to talk about balls all the time,” Dame replied. ”I had to use an alias that was so far gone from my original name, but if you were to pick one I guess you could only come up with Biam, or Ballman or something ridiculous.”

After hearing Dameʼs comments Safa and Simyon couldnʼt stop laughing with almost tears running down their eyes.

”I see youʼre not afraid of me,” Liam replied with a side vein sticking out from his head. ”You know Iʼve gotten a lot stronger compared to back then, maybe the two of us should have a spar. Itʼs been a long time.”

Back at the academy, Dame had helped Liam and Simyon a lot with their training. It felt so long ago, and yet so short at the same time with all they had been through. It wasnʼt just them that had gone through these changes, it was him as well.

”Right... I also need to strengthen myself. Rather than relying on this Hybrid form of mine,” Dame answered. ”Who knows, maybe one day the Neverfall Clan will decide to become an enemy of Raze and I will need to help him.”

”I donʼt think that will happen,” Safa added. ”After all, I think your father likes Raze.”

”Right, heʼs not the one that Iʼm worried about though,” Dame replied. ”If anything was to happen to my father, or he was to reach the Divine realm, then it would mean them two would take over the Neverfall Clan. Thatʼs where my worries lie, and before you say Iʼm exaggerating, you have never been raised in a powerful clan that belongs to the Demonic Faction.”

Although they had never been raised in such a place, all of them had heard the rumours and the stories, and they had also heard of how the brothers were willingly wanting to fight against Dame not too long ago, even though they were family.

It was sad for those present who would do so much for the sake of their families.

”Right, where were we, this island, it makes me wonder why Raze is heading there, he doesnʼt have much interest in Pagna,” Dame said. ”Maybe itʼs to get some ingredients.”

Safa looked out the window on the path they were on, and they werenʼt the only ones that were heading for the port city that was just up ahead. Several groups from different clans were heading there as well.

Currently filled with many, all of them wondering what was on the island itself.

”The main issue is if clans from the Demonic Faction are acting like this, no doubt that the Light Faction will move as well,” Simyon stated. ”And on top of that, I have a feeling that Alter will be involved claiming theyʼre looking for artifacts.”

”Letʼs hope with Raynaʼs involvement that Alter is a little too busy to have their hands filled with this,” Dame answered.

None of them were aware of what was on the island, apart from Safa who, with her god eyes, could see larger and stronger streams of magic all heading north.

It didnʼt take long for them to eventually find their way into the city. The port city was filled with people walking through the streets and hanging around the taverns. It was clear that the port itself wasnʼt prepared for what was happening.

As the four continued they noticed something happening right at the dock, something they didnʼt expect. Standing up one wooden pillar were several people, all of them were captains of the various ships that were currently docked.

”HAHA this is the best day of my life!” The captain shouted, as he counted the amount of golden coins in his hands.

”It looks like the captains know their worth right now, and theyʼre having a bidding war,” Dame stated. It was expected, a large number of people wanted to head to the islands, and there were few ships available to head there immediately.

”Do we have a lot of coin with us?” Liam asked.

”Well, we could always use force?” Dame replied.

”Then wonʼt we have to go up against everyone else, I donʼt think those from the Demonic Faction Clans would be willing to just step aside so much,” Simyon replied.

The four of them were deliberating over what the best option would be, until a voice called out to all of them.

”Donʼt worry, the four of you wonʼt be going anywhere. None of you will step foot on that island.”

As they turned to look they could see a light blonde-haired man with round glasses, a staff in his hand and wearing a blazer standing there. What was most notable was the pocket watch attached to his hip.

This man was Henio, the head of Alter.
