Chapter 802: Not Part Of The Plan
The White Dragon was a name familiar to nearly everyone in the Dark Continent for several reasons.
For one, it marked the start of an upset at the academy, a battle between unknowns against the main disciples. A turnaround that should never have occurred, yet it did.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Due to the student's white hair, they gave him a powerful nickname that spread widely, not just through the Dark Faction territory but throughout all of Pagna.
The whole point of giving such names was to create legends, and the person who decided to spread the name was Murkel.
They were the ones who wanted the White Dragon to be known, so everyone present was aware of the White Dragon but was struck with confusion.
"Did Amir just say the Dark Magus and the White Dragon? Does that mean he's stating that both of these people are the same?"
"But the Dark Magus is in the Demonic Continent; he's married to the Neverfall Clan's Daughter..." Slowly, a group of them turned their heads, and some recognized Rayna as well. Things were falling into place, but how everything came to be still seemed impossible.
How could such a person be in two places at once? Not only that, it still didn't make any sense. Raze Cromwell, a student at the academy, was just that—a student-not too long ago.
Sure, his feats against the main disciple were impressive, but how could one have the strength to take out Murkel?
The man had a legend of his own-the legend of the strongest in all of Pagna, the closest to reaching the Divine Realm.
"There was an assessment among the Dark Academy students; I'm sure many of you are aware since we obtained your permission," Amir continued.
"In the assessment, there was one student who managed to escape. During his escape, he met the Crimson Crane in the Demonic Faction."
"That was where he continued to grow in strength and found reliable people by his side to help him."
"But the White Dragon, as well as the one known as the Dark Magus, swore to come back. For there were those he couldn't leave behind."
Amir then went ahead and tapped the shoulders of Safa and Simyon, pushing them forward.
Liam, although his shoulder wasn't pushed, decided to step ahead as well, his cheeks a little rosy.
"He gained a massive amount of strength, and during the tournament, he competed as an undercover student of the Demonic Faction.
"He was the one who used a powerful artifact to send everyone away so he could face Murkel face to face!"
Amir had cleared the details with Raze beforehand, deciding what would be said and what wouldn't be.
Raze didn't mind anymore. With the power of the Dark Faction in his hands, he was ready to let everyone know that he was the Dark Magus.
And for those who thought there was a link between the names, he was ready for them to come after him.
On top of that, Amir emphasized that this was important. People loved a good story, and it was a good story of how Raze rose up to take control of the Dark Faction.
The thing was, it wasn't far from the truth either, and the easiest stories to convince or tell people were the ones that had truth in them.
Raze continued to walk down, his face kept straight. It was a strange feeling, walking with all the people staring at him.
'How can the Grand Magus like this feeling?' Raze thought. 'People that you don't even know, parading you, gawking at you. I will never understand them.'
The only reason Raze agreed to this was because of Amir, wishing to make his entrance as big and grand as possible.
Finally, Raze managed to reach the end of the platform. Everyone else stepped back, allowing him to stand at the front.
"It is your turn to speak as the new leader of the Dark Faction," Amir said, stepping back as well.
"I did not want this position," were the first words from Raze's mouth. "But due to the situation, I was forced to take it."
"There are those out there who threaten our lives. The Light Faction, although they speak of righteousness, the first time we turn our backs, they will be ready to strike."
"The Demonic Faction always wishes to prove that they are the strongest. We are just a pebble in their way."
"I was born in the Dark Faction. This was my whole world, and I found people who helped me through it."
"Murkel was another person who wished to harm what I built up, so I grew stronger to protect
it."
"I grew stronger so no one can take the things I care about, the things that are important to me."
"I will never be weak enough to let anyone take anything from me."
"And I have a warning to everyone out there, no matter where they are from or what planet they are from."
"If they dare try to take something from me, then I will pay back every last thing tenfold!" Raze said with anger in his voice.
It was so vicious that even his allies were surprised by the strength in his words.
"Now that the Dark Faction is under me, it is mine as well, so anyone who dares to touch it, I will make sure they regret every last bit of it."
The words weren't what one would expect from a student, of all things, and all of them could feel the anger.
In Pagna, the world of warriors, it was a tough place for them all. Nearly all of them had lost something, so they could relate to it.
"I understand that it's strange having me in this position and accepting me. So I have a
proposal for you."
"Anyone who believes I shouldn't be leader is free to challenge me for the position of the Dark Faction Leader, and I will face them alone," Raze declared.
Amir turned around to look at the others, because this wasn't part of the plan.
