Dark Magus Returns

Raze certainly knew that the Divine warrior was successfully summoned. From his conversation, though, he had suspected that he wasn’t one to help the Lethal Bite Clan, and now he had his suspicions confirmed.

There was no Divine warrior protecting them.

“I guess that solves that, there isn’t much for us to do,” Himmy said, sitting back down in his seat.

“What do you mean, didn’t your group say you were with the team at the time!” Harbour shouted. “You can say that you saw no one from the Moon Shield Clan.”

Himmy just laughed.

“Do you really think they will believe our word over those that are high up in your clan? They will just suggest you told us to say such things.”

“Our job is to run an investigation, and we have found out why the Alter group that originally arrived here are dead, that’s it. What did you expect us to do, to go into the Clan and get revenge for you?”

Harbour clenched his fist; in some ways, he did think that, but what could these people in front of him do? They weren’t even warriors.

It wasn’t as if they could take on the clan. The only thing they could do was try to back him up with words and their words, but why would they believe them?

“Isn’t there more to discover?” Charlotte asked. “I mean, the clan could be the reason behind the other deaths in the other cities, but we still haven’t discovered that yet.”

For Charlotte, she felt a little guilty that the man in front of them had lost his whole life and family due to their matters.

“Don’t be so soft-hearted,” Himmy replied. “We did what we needed to do to survive; those men were only killed because we were trying to protect ourselves and one of our own!”

Himmy knew why Charlotte was saying these words; she had done this a few times on their missions, and he had to reason with her.

Out of his anger though, he had let something slip that Harbour noticed.

“Wait, what are you saying, it was you, you were the ones? Were you the ones that defeated the middle-stage warriors!” Harbour asked.

It sounded unbelievable, the group in front of him didn’t seem anything special, and there were so few of them. Only the top clans could do such a thing?

“We were,” Anna answered before Himmy could even come up with an excuse for them. “But it was only because the group of warriors had taken one of our Alter group to try and summon this Divine warrior.”

There was a lot of anger that was rising in Harbour, but it was diminishing as well. He wanted to blame the group in front of him for everything that had happened.

For his family’s death and his loss of position, but he soon realized that wasn’t the case. Niang had set everything up.

He was sure of it; if this didn’t happen, then he had already prepared a number of ways for him to receive the position of Head of the Clan.

Instead, he decided to think of things differently as he looked at the group in front of him.

“If you were able to take out the powerful Clan members, then can’t you get rid of Niang, to take out the Lethal Bite Clan!” The anger in Harbour was rising again.

The thought in his head, the last thing he could do in this world.

“Can you please grant me my wish; I’ll give you whatever it is you want!”

Once again though, Himmy just let out a chuckle.

“I am sorry for your loss, and I mean that, but you are being deluded. What can you give us in your position when you can’t even afford a drink?”

“Eliminate a whole clan? We are not a Vendetta group, we are a group that helps deal with missions that no one else can. This is not a mission we have been assigned nor is it one that has any upside for us.”

Clenching his fist, Harbour’s knuckles had turned white, and he started to bite the bottom of his lip trying to hold in his tears. Blood started to drip down onto his chin and onto his sheets.

“Great, another thing I’m going to need to pay for,” Himmy mumbled, looking at the blood.

“Can I ask you a question,” Raze said in the middle of the silence and the sobs, when saying these words he wasn’t looking at Harbour though, he was looking at Himmy.

“We are allowed to act within our own means, outside of Alter, correct?” Raze asked.

“As long as it doesn’t get in the way of our other missions and stay within the rules. You can act as you wish in Pagna,” Himmy answered.

“So… if I was to attack the Lethal Bite Clan, not as a part of Alter, would that be okay?”

Himmy for the first time in a while was left with his mouth open slightly. Attacking a whole clan? As far as Himmy knew, no one in Alter was a part of the Lethal Bite Clan.

But had he ever heard someone in Alter say something as crazy as this, as attacking an entire clan.

“I told this man that I would already grant his wish. If there is nothing stopping me, then I will take out the clan. In the meantime, I will try and find out if they are really behind the deaths,” Raze answered.

There was only one thing that was somewhat holding Raze back, and that was the fact of whether or not the Divine warrior was part of the Lethal Bite Clan.

Now that he had gotten his answer, taking out the clan would be helping him weaken the Dark Faction.

“This is a big clan; there are countless numbers of middle-stage warriors. You could end up getting killed,” Himmy answered. “And if you fail, and someone sees you, you will be a wanted person; this may cause Alter to be in a difficult position, and they might do something about this.”

“I’m not saying you can’t, but you need to be aware of the risks.”

Raze looked at his hand. A large number of middle-stage warriors. It was perfect for him; if he used the extraction technique, then that could be just what he needed to finally reach the middle stage that he had been stuck at for a while.

With his magic, he might just be strong enough to deal with the Academy Principal then.

“Very well then, I will help you achieve what you asked,” Raze stated, looking Harbour in the eye. “But I have to tell you, there will no longer be a Lethal Bite Clan for you to go back to.”

Wiping away his tears with the sleeve of his hand, Harbour was listening to every word seriously. If someone before, while he was in the clan, said that they could eliminate the Lethal Bite Clan, he would have called them a madman.

He couldn’t call this person a madman right now because all of his hope was on this single individual.

“I said this before, but right now, I would rather have the whole clan eliminated; they let my whole family die after everything I did for them! The way it is now, I would rather there be no clan!” Harbour shouted.

“Alright, let’s get this done,” Raze said as he walked towards the door. “And don’t worry there will be no one left alive to report this, so it won’t bring us trouble.”
