723 New Dark Faction Ruler
Memories had flashed into Murkel’s head of a meeting that had occurred a while ago, a change that had happened within the Dark Faction that no one was aware of.
By this point, Murkel had gained strength and notoriety. He had challenged a number of the Clan I leads across the Dark Faction and had bested them all. All apart from the top four clans that currently led the Dark Faction.
Some thought the Dark Faction was weakening after the loss of the Noctis Clan, and there were rumors that the Light Faction was planning an attack to eliminate them.
It was an extremely tense time for those in the Dark Faction, and of all things, the Erupting Fist Clan being led by this genius warrior had asked for a meeting between all four of them.
Out on a mountain top, there was a stone temple right at the top. It was abandoned and not a single person had visited it or maintained it. It was the perfect place for a meeting to take place so that no one was to learn of what had occurred.
Patiently, the four leaders of the top clans in the Dark Faction were waiting. Crine, leader of the Flowing Force Clan, Sabrina, leader of the Tulip Clan, Feebie, Leader of the Lethal Bite Clan, and Gavin, leader of the Moon Shield Clan.
They were standing waiting side by side, as they had all been called there by one person in particular. As they looked toward the stone path that led to a large staircase, they could see a middle-aged man, calmly walking up the staircase in his black clothing with his hands behind his back.
The wind was blowing, but when he stepped on the stone pathway it felt like it had completely stopped as not a single strand of his hair was blowing in the wind, this was Murkel, the current leader of the Erupting Fist Clan.
“What was such an important matter that you decided to gather all of us?” Crine asked. “Are you trying to act like you run the Dark Faction already, that is something that is run by us, not you, and we are the ones that need to accept you as one of us in the first place!”
None of the current Dark Faction leaders present had been defeated by Murkel. So they were unsure of his strength, they knew he was strong, but felt like rumors might have been exaggerated.
After all, all of those he had beaten so far were those that they could have beaten themselves as well.
“Since the Noctis Clan disappeared from the Dark Faction, things have been difficult for us, but that might be due to your own actions don’t you think?” Murkel said. “I have heard that your clans have been hunting every last member, every last trace of the Noctis Clan and their skills. “I can see why, all of you are afraid that their clan’s skills are superior, that someone will come, rise up and claim this throne that the four of you share over the Dark Faction!” There were annoyed faces all around, some even unleashing the Qi from their body. It was a fact that was known throughout the clans and the Dark Faction, but no one dared question the doing of the current heads of the Dark Faction, they were the only people that were somewhat protecting them as well after all.
“Just let us know why you are here.” Samantha asked, placing her fan over her face. “In your letter you mentioned was something about making you principal of the Academy. Although your achievements I would say justify you being placed there, it is a position that claims a lot of power for the future of the faction.”
“Correct” Feebie added. “It would make a lot more sense for one of our vice heads to take the
position of principal, even if it is just as a figurehead.”
“And that is why I have called you all here today!” Murkel smiled. “The Dark Faction needs more than just a principal, we need someone to take charge of the entire faction, just like in the past with the Noctis Clan. My claim is to not just be the principal but the one leading the Dark Faction.
“We cannot continue on like the Demonic Faction, we are not like them, and our faction is not rule followers or democratic like that of the Light Faction, so this is the only way. I will best you all one by one in a fight.” Murkel said. “To prove I have the right to lead the Faction!”
The challenge was so straightforward that they took it, believing that they couldn’t lose. Because there was something Murkel had mentioned taking them on one by one, and he would do so one after the other.
A big fight between such Clan Ileads would drain them of their energy, so what made him so confident? Feebie was the first to step up, and everyone was stunned when Murkel had unleashed his superior Dark Qi and won the fight.
He then continued to do the same, besting Samantha after, then Gavin, and lastly he had bested Crine as well. Murkel had easily proved himself, that he was the strongest in the entire Dark Faction.
He was starting to be deserving of his title as the one closest to the Divine being.
Yet all of them present couldn’t be accepting of this fact, that there was one person that would take over their throne. They had done a lot as leaders to get their position, things that they
weren’t proud of.
Secrets that only they knew to eliminate the Noctis Clan. They couldn’t have someone come in and take it all away from them like this. That’s when all of them agreed to attack Murkel at once. They wouldn’t fight him one by one, but fight him again. The only thing was the result was not what they had expected, as Murkel had beaten all four of them, and with ease.
There was a single mark on his body, but one of his eyes was completely glowing red, and a strange red substance was seen retracting from the back of his body inside him. “You… you’re a hybrid…” Crine said.
