Dark Magus Returns

There were several things that Raze kept note of while in the Pagna world, and one of them was their lack of technology compared to other worlds. Rather than it being less advanced, it almost felt like it was being limited on purpose.

There were communication devices, but they were limited to certain buildings or areas. Which was why Raze knew another thing: by heading to the base and getting rid of anyone who was there, they were unable to even be aware of what was going on. They lacked full awareness, and he was going to use this to his advantage. His hand was placed on the large thick doors in front of him.

Seeping out his Dark magic, it started to destroy everything it touched, including the lock on the other side. Right after, he pushed the door open and he was led into the main reception room.

"Huh, who are you?" One of the guards asked. A strong hit to the stomach caused the man to bend over, and then lifting him by his head, Raze threw him into one of the other guards. Soon after with his sword, he started to swing it widely all over the place.

The attacks didn't have the full strength of his Qi, but he was mostly using his wind magic to supplement his attack. The attacks flying through the air had made rather bad cuts on those next to him, making it hard for them to escape. While some of the attacks continued on and had hit the walls, shaking the place. Grabbing onto one of the first men he had injured, his body started to shrivel up, to the point where it was almost nothing but bones. Letting go of the person, Raze could feel the energy being added to him.

"Even inside the base, most of them are 3rd stage warriors. Even absorbing the whole room of guards isn't going to be enough," Raze thought.

In the middle of his thoughts, several doors from the left and right, the second floor burst open, and more and more clan members were coming into the room. "I guess middle stage warriors are still a rarity, even for a top clan, and most of them have already been hurt. I guess I will just have to make do with what I can and see if the stronger ones come!"

Raze threw his hand out, and a spark of lightning had hit directly one of the warriors in front of him. Due to the effect of his lightning affinity, it hit two more people next to him as well, sending them on their backs. "Either way, getting to use my magic in a situation like this will help me out."

Harbour was leading the way with the others; they had entered through a side door. Upon entering, there were guards in this area as well. Even outside the door on the outer platform. He was ready to deal with them, but before he could, Anna had shifted and taken them out.

She had twisted their necks, snapping them on the spot, dealing with them silently. What was odd for Harbour was the fact that he sensed no Qi at all when it was done.

"I could have taken them out, you know," Harbour said.

"Yes, but using your techniques would have caused quite a bit of commotion. In order to complete our job with ease, it will be best we make as little noise as possible," Anna answered.

Heading inside, Harbour had a good idea of where Bargo and the others would have been kept. There was a temporary holding cell where clan members would be held before trial if they were part of the clan. He hadn't visited the place because for one, he never expected Bargo to be there in the first place, or for them to treat him the way they had done.

Second, one of his supporters was in charge of disciplining clan members and kept a record of everyone who went in and out. If someone had come in, he would have been informed, or at least he thought so. It turned out on the day they cast their vote to kick him out, Niang had more people under his finger than he realized.

Heading inside the place, there were few guards; they had even seen some that were running in a completely different direction heading towards something else. They assumed that Raze was causing the chaos that he had promised. That was when they had finally reached the red door.

"The red door that leads to the underground cellars is just up ahead. We have to be careful. If these guards spot us, they will inform Niang straight away, or they might even kill those that are held hostage," Harbour explained.

On the way there, Charlotte had picked up a sword from the ground and threw it forward. When she had done so, the sword oddly went straight and wasn't dipping at all as it moved through the air. The sword had pierced right through the side of one of the guard's throats and continued to go forward, piercing the second one.

The sword had collected two men like it was some type of meat stick and eventually they had fallen to the floor.

"What… was that?" Harbour blinked twice. It didn't seem like a Pagna technique. He had been watching the orange-haired girl for a while, and she didn't seem to be using any Pagna techniques he had seen. Then again, it was the same for both of the women he had been traveling with.

When they got to the door, the door was locked by a mechanism on the other side. Harbour was looking for some type of key that would be with the guards. However, Anna raised her hand and pointed out her index finger. It started to change color, turning a bright red.

She pushed it forward, and it went through the door as if it was melting butter. She continued and then shifted her hand upward, and a red line could be seen on the door. Then with a small push, the door was open.

"Who… are you people?" Harbour had to ask since he had never seen such strange powers before.

"You should know," Charlotte replied. "We are from Alter, and everything you see has to be kept a secret, unless you want to die."

Harbour smiled as he started to descend down the stairs.

"If our task is completed and everyone is dealt with, then you can have my life," Harbour answered.
