Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 390 Vice Head Trouble

The strange guard had escorted Simyon away from the others. He was worried about what could happen to him, but more than the rest of the others, a certain person would appear in his mind again and again.

Her large round eyes, her long perfectly brushed black hair.

ʼSheʼll be okay, right? I mean, Raze took her under his wing and taught her magic. She also has the other items on her. If Raze had given us these strong items, then surely he would have given her something useful as well.ʼ

No matter how hard he tried, he kept envisioning himself jumping in front of her, saving her from a vicious beast attack, and each time his face would turn a shade redder.

”Students, stop wasting time and enter the portal, or Iʼll have to push you through!” The masked man shouted.

Seeing the portal in front of him, and with his resolve ready, Simyon had jumped in. When coming out on the other side, the planet was filled with a fluorescent green color, but it wasnʼt green from the trees and such.

Instead, it was strange green glowing slime that was running through the cracks of the ground. The planet itself was shrouded in darkness apart from this fluorescent green slime.

ʼI really want to touch it, but I have a feeling that if I do, something strange will happen to me. But with this being the planet, I wonder what beasts are going to be in this area.ʼ

Walking across, Simyonʼs eyes looked for any sign of life, but he couldnʼt find any so far. Instead, he just followed one of the green streams of slime on the floor until he had reached a large stream like that of a river.

It was a thick substance, and even more so now, Simyon just wanted to place his hand in it.

”I mean, I have a harder body than most, right, so it shouldnʼt affect me as much?” Simyon thought as he reached out to touch it, but before he did, he thought it might be best to find a stick or something.

Standing up, he turned around, and immediately a sword swung at him. At the last moment, Simyon managed to raise his hand and a clang sound was heard.

Simyonʼs body was still lifted off the ground as he skidded across the floor. Looking at his arm, it was slightly bleeding. He soon could see his attacker, who was staring at his own sword as if he was surprised.

”How could a student survive a strike from behind like that?” An older woman, who looked to be around her fifties, wearing long clothing, was standing there.

”I guess there was a reason why the leader told me to get rid of you.”

”Hey, this isnʼt part of the test, right?” Simyon stated as he stood up and took a fighting stance, reforming his Qi.

”Test,” the woman laughed. ”This is no test. I donʼt know what you did, but the Lethal Bite Clan head has ordered your death.”

Hearing these words, Simyon knew something didnʼt feel right when he was having those images flash through his head. Gulping, he needed to focus on his own situation for now, because this person was strong.

Liam, who had survived many attacks, could hardly put a mark on his arm, yet this woman had done so on the first strike, which meant she was quite strong.

Simyonʼs bad feeling was right, because he wasnʼt the only one that had a surprise attacker on him.

Both of the other two main disciples, Mada and Ricktor, in the dimensions they were in, they had met those dressed in martial arts clothing, appearing in front of them, attempting to take their lives.

Ricktor had come unscathed by the surprise attack and just smiled at the situation. While in Madaʼs case, he had been hit, a slash across the chest, before he was aware of what was happening.

At the same time, similar things were happening to Tinson and his group of friends as well, and then there was Safa.

She had entered a dimension that looked as if she was walking on clouds. The area was dense not with fog, but a thick material similar to it. It was filled in patches of the area.

Because of this, she was using her god eyes skill, and although she didnʼt see anyone with Mana, through one of the clouds, she did manage to detect something strange.

So she hadnʼt suffered a surprise attack, but knew what was coming. She needed to decide whether or not it was best for her to run in this situation, or try to get the upper hand against whoever it was trying to attack her.

Dame had similarly had an attacker in his dimension, a land that was filled with shallow water, and waterfalls that were falling from large rocks that floated in the air.

It was as if he was walking through a giant cliffside with water that would go up to oneʼs ankles. When his enemy had jumped at the chance to attack him from behind, though, he had dodged the hit and grabbed onto the enemyʼs arm.

Then, lifting his own hand in the air, the black gauntlets were revealed before he twisted his hand and punched directly in the gut of his attacker with a powerful Qi technique.

The attackerʼs body spun in the air before it crashed into the rocks, and he fell into the water. Before the attacker could fully get up, Dame had already lifted his body by his throat and slammed him into the wall.

”I thought this might happen; I just didnʼt expect you guys to attack so soon,” Dame stated. ”Let me guess, youʼre from the Lethal Bite Clan, right?”

The man smiled in response even with the tense situation at hand.

”You know that much; you must have all really upset the clan head then.”

”That stupid B*tch?” Dame replied. ”So she was the one that ordered you to do this. I bet she never expected someone like me to be here, huh?”

The man started to laugh, but he was struggling through Dameʼs heavy hand around his throat.

”You are a strong one. Itʼs a shame that we didnʼt really know who would go through which portal, apart from the White Dragon,” the man stated.

Dame expected as much. Feebie would want to deal with Raze herself; it was best he got out of this place quickly and went after him.

”Tell me, which portal is the White Dragon in, which portal is your leader in!” Dame tensed harder around his throat, yet the smile on his face still persisted.

”Do you really only care about the White Dragon, and not the rest of the students?” The man stated. ”As I said before, itʼs a shame we didnʼt know who was in which portal and the strength of your group. If we did know, our vice head would have been here to deal with you.”

Dameʼs heart sank slightly.

”I see you get it now. If the Vice head isnʼt with you, then it means he is with one of your other friends. So let me ask you, are your friends at least as strong as you, can they deal with someone at the middle stage?”

---

Entering his dimension, Liam was quite pumped up. He was ready to take on any beasts that came his way, and when he entered his world, it was a world filled with four full balls.

The grass had these strange large

balls on the end of it, while at the same time, there were giant tree-like structures, but instead of leaves, there were large balls on them.

”What did look nice about the place was how colorful everything was. All of the balls were different colors and were quite bright.

ʼIs there really going to be beasts in this world?ʼ Liam thought.

As he continued to walk, he soon noticed something on the ground. Painted on top of the ball-like grass were streaks of blood. They were splattered on the top. He followed where the blood went, and a large bug-like beast was lying there on the floor.

ʼWhat killed this?ʼ Liam thought.

Looking around more, he could see that there were several large bug beasts killed all over the area, having fallen on the grass.

”Yhaa!” A voice from above came. ”Alright, it looks like youʼre finally here; letʼs get this job done, so I can head back to the clan.”

Looking above, a man wearing a pointed straw hat could be seen sitting on one of the large tree structures wearing martial arts clothing.

”Wait, I recognize you?” Liam couldnʼt quite put his finger on where.
