Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 799: A Dark Faction Meeting

Since the Dark Faction used to be comprised of just clans, there wasnʼt really a base of operations for all the Dark Clans to gather. At the same time, there wasnʼt even an official leader of the faction itself.

What those who lived on the Dark Factionʼs continent did know was which were the top five clans that had far more power over the others and who they chose as their leader.

The system was believed to be set up in such a way that the five top clans could always have one of them representing the top, always in control.

With Murkel taking the position of principal of the academy, the meeting place for the five main clans, as well as all the clanʼs merchants and kingdoms that operated within the

territory, would often be at the academy.

Today was another day when all from far and wide had gathered at the academy. The students were told to stay in their respective dorms for the day, while the courtyard had been cleared.

In the courtyard itself, there were around a hundred important figures from across the territory. Some of them were standing with several heads next to them.

Others were sitting down in seats they had brought with them, along with tables allowing their servants to do their bidding.

It wasnʼt just Pagna martial artists, but also the top merchants and representatives from the kingdoms.

”Why have so many people been asked to gather in the courtyard?”

”I heard a big announcement was to take place today; it was an emergency meeting.”

”Did you also see the report? That could be the reason for all of this happening. So much stuff occurred at the Martial Arts Tournament.”

”Right, and the results of what happened are unclear. Weʼve been asking for word from the top clans, from the Erupting Fist Clan maybe since the report came out, but weʼve heard nothing.”

Due to a certain individual present during the whole affair, a report had come out.

The report didnʼt put the blame on a single individual or name anyone for what had occurred, but explained that a powerful artifact had been used to clear everyone out of the area.

It was the only way things could be explained to the people that understood, and with so many having experienced what happened firsthand, they had to believe it.

Going on, it was stated that a few people were left behind, including most of the Dark Faction. Two groups had battled it out. In the report, Bubble did, however, use the name of the Dark Magus.

A man who was currently known to the world as being from the Demonic Faction.

The report claimed that he and his allies defeated most of the Dark Faction warriors that were there, and the state of Murkel was unknown.

There were some things that were kept quiet in the report. For one, the fact that Murkel was a Hybrid.

Bubble didnʼt know how that would affect the state of the people, and although his job was to report, he knew that his information had strong power.

Which was why, on top of that, he made it clear to mention that the Demonic Faction leaders were also teleported out, and that it was only the Dark Magus who took part in it all.

The issue was, this was just one such report. There werenʼt several reports, and unlike everyone disappearing from the arena, no one had seen what had occurred.

For a single person and a few allies to get rid of the strongest in the Dark Faction, it sounded like a fantasy.

The fact that they hadnʼt been attacked by the Demonic Faction or the Light Faction yet made it seem even more untrue.

An exaggeration to get more sales was most of their thoughts. However, the people started to worry when there was no news spread by the Dark Faction.

None of the clans were responding to the reports, and no one had seen Murkel. It was because of this that when Amir sent the message far and wide to everyone using the members of the Bonum Society and more, everyone came to gather, because they needed to know the future of the territory they were in.

Looking around though, those in the courtyard started to notice something.

”Are those people from the Flowing Force Clan?” One asked.

”Yeah, but whereʼs the Clan Head and the Vice Clan Head?”

”Not just that, look at them; they seem almost exhausted, tired, and hurt, donʼt you think?”

Those that had arrived, none of them were the top warriors of the Flowing Force Clan-at least not the names everyone knew of.

When thinking about more details, they remembered the head of the Flowing Force Clan, as well as Samantha, an incredibly strong individual for the Flowing Force Clan, had both gone to the Martial Arts Tournament.

The fact that they werenʼt here caused fright.

”But why are the others injured? At the Martial Arts Tournament, I thought they were only allowed to bring a few with them. So why are the others injured as well?”

It certainly had the others talking, and thatʼs when they could see something else strange-it wasnʼt just the Flowing Force Clan that was like this.

All five of the main clans that had arrived had injured members. Gavin Rocksbored, the head of the Moon Shield Clan, was nowhere to be seen either-another one who had gone to the Martial Arts Tournament.

With what had happened to the Lethal Bite Clan, everyone felt like they were already

witnessing the demise of the five big clans in the Dark Faction.

Now though, even the people from within the clans were hurt.

Several raised eyebrows were occurring, but the main bulk of the confusion was when they

saw the state of the Erupting Fist Clan.

There was no Murkel, only an elder with quite a few injured warriors in particular, but that wasnʼt the worry.

”Why are they down here with us... just who called this meeting then?”
