Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 919: Go Away!



The loud words traveled across the vast lake and were heard by everyone on the shore. Soon, more people had come over, realizing something was happening as word spread through the

town.

"Did they just say the Dark Magus is rebelling? Against what?"

"How can they call him a rebel when he just saved everyone from the Behemoth Clan?"

"They said they're from the Doclet Kingdom, right? Are they not happy with what the Dark Magus did or something?"

"None of this is making any sense. The Doclet Kingdom has never cared for this town, and now they come here suddenly?"

"Not just that, they've brought an entire army to go against the Dark Magus. Isn't he with the Crimson Crane and the Neverfall Clan? Are the kingdoms planning to go against the Pagna warriors? Why are they breaking the pact?"

The people were riled up and worried, and they noticed that the Dark Magus was by the edge of the lake as well, looking out at the ships.

"I repeat, people of Flendon, the Dark Magus has rebelled against the Kingdom of Doclet! We are to bring him in by force if necessary!" General Re said again.

The people weren't happy about this at all, and before Raze could even decide what to do next, the crowd started to shout insults and attempt to throw rocks at the giant ships, even though they would never reach the ships.

"Screw you! What has the Kingdom ever done for us?"

"You can't take our savior away, he's done nothing wrong!" the people continued to shout again and again.

Raze had been out for a day or so, but he hadn't been gone for long. It made him wonder what was really happening.

"Do you know anything about this?" Raze asked. "The Neverfall Clan gifted this place, so I thought it was under their control.

"Other than the other large clans, I thought we had nothing to worry about."

"That would be the case," Han answered, perplexed by the situation himself. "But you see, the people there-the large force-they aren't Pagna warriors.

"For hundreds of years, non-Pagna warriors and citizens have stayed apart. So I have no idea why they are coming for you now."

"Because everyone else hates Pagna warriors," Fing claimed. "It's clear-they're scared of the unknown and our power. The pact is the only thing keeping us from fighting.'

"So they want to get a jump start. After the Demonic Faction had a big battle with each other, and with Raze being the newcomer, they saw him as an easy target. I guess as the more powerful ones, we need to be more careful."

Han nodded to this suggestion.

"Fing is right. Even for us, we wouldn't get involved with an entire kingdom. It's too risky. It wouldn't be a good idea for any Pagna warrior to get involved in this. If anything, it might even be best just to run away."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

While the group was in the middle of their conversation, General Re was also speaking with his men on the ship.

"Sir, all the cannons have been loaded. They're able to hit the shoreline at this distance," one of the men said.

"King Doclet already gave his orders. We found out in the reports that several of the ordinary citizens in the town had taken up arms to fight alongside the Dark Magus and the warriors. He has claimed that the whole town is rebellious."

"And we are to make an example of this town to all those in the future who underestimated us," General Re said.

"But sir, why did you make an announcement if we were ordered to destroy the town anyway?" the man asked.

"I hoped that some people, knowing our reason for being here, would flee, but instead, they've acted like this and are defying us in the face of a giant fleet of ships with state-of- the-art cannons!" General Re claimed.

"Even if the rumors are true, there won't be any warriors who can take on a group like this. Do as I say-fire a warning shot on the shore."

"Yes, sir!"

One of the cannons was ready, already in position. Lighting it up, a loud bang occurred, and a giant black ball was sent hurling toward the shoreline.

There were hundreds of people on the shore, and even this warning shot made it clear that they would be hurt in the blast.

"AHHH!" the people screamed as they started to run, while others just braced themselves.

Raze quickly moved, stepping in front of them all, and stretched out his hand. As the ball was about to hit him, it seemingly slowed down, and Raze caught it with a single hand.

"What happened?" General Re asked. "Was it a dud?"

One of the men pulled out his telescope and saw a young man with white hair, holding the black ball with a single hand.

The crowd, seeing the Dark Magus catch the ball, cheered in amazement.

"WHOOO, YEAH!" they screamed.

'That was fairly easy. I slowed it down with my wind magic, and even at that velocity, I would have been able to just grab the ball with my Qi,' Raze thought.

'But if I hadn't stopped it, several people would have been hurt.'

Raze looked up at the fleet of ships, all of them with cannons ready to fire onto the shore.

"What are you thinking of doing?" Han asked. "I told you already, it's not a good idea, brother. It's a pact that hasn't been broken for generations. Pagna warriors should never get involved in civilian matters. They're two different worlds!"

Remembering the promise to himself, Raze wouldn't let anyone be taken away from him again. He smiled at Han.

"It's a good thing I'm not from this world, right?" Raze said, charging Qi into his hand, and hurled the ball through the air at lightning speed.

The cannonball crashed into the center of one of the ships, tearing it in half, and slowly, it was seen sinking into the lake.

"I'll just have to get rid of them all," Raze said.
