Dark Magus Returns
Dark Magus Returns - Chapter 479: A Path To The Other Side

While traveling through the city, Raze had been observing the beasts and how they acted. At times, through different dimensions, he would encounter the same type of beasts he had beaten before.

That wasn't the case this time, but through entering a large number of dimensions with challenging beasts, he had learned that it was best to observe the enemy first.

There were a number of interesting things that a beast could present: another form, a special elemental power, or an unusual trait that could be used against them.

On his way here, he had figured that these beasts didn't have direct eyesight the same as themselves, and instead were relying on sound. With this, he had already come up with a plan to get rid of the majority of them, but he needed to get rid of the large threat first.

After getting rid of the beast that posed the most threat to the city, Raze decided to act again. He knew he couldn't save every person here; it would be impossible and a waste of time for him to take each beast one by one.

The better option would be to save those of the Lost Clan and allow the rest of the members to help clear the city.

After Raze had landed in front of them and used his silence spell, he quickly moved and slashed down, defeating the beast with ease. As he turned, he went directly to the other and swung his sword again.

With his Demonic Qi and the new ghost blade, he found his blade was dealing with each beast rather easily, and the strange juices and blood that would come out of the beasts weren't affecting his sword at all.

Even if any did splatter and try to land on him, his special blazer was doing a good job protecting him.

It didn't take long, and with another swing of his sword, the last beast had been defeated. Raising his hand, he cleared the wind spell that was active to make sure that no more suspicion was being raised.

"Wow, that young warrior defeated them all!"

"Yeah, and he defeated the one the captain had struggled against as well!!!"

"What was with the beast? Why did they suddenly stop approaching us? Was that to do with him as well?"

"Maybe they could sense his Qi or something."

Raze, done with the task, soon walked up to the warriors who were standing there; he could overhear them still speaking about him.

"Young warrior, what clan are you from? For you to be so strong, we saw you using the Descending Steps, so you must be from the Demonic Faction!"

Raze didn't have an answer to their question and instead decided to take another route to get them off his back.

"You guys, you should clear the city," Raze answered. "There are still beasts inside that are attacking. They seem to be attracted to noise. So if you can use something to distract them, or take them out silently, that would be best."

The warriors looked at each other; due to just getting out of one situation, they had forgotten about the bigger picture.

"He's right!" Neil said, approaching from behind. "We might have finished up here, but the fight is still far from over; everyone enter the city!"

With that, Neil and the rest of the Pagna warriors were ready to leave, and Neil took one more look at the warrior before he finally left, leaving Raze be, and the area in front of the main gate clear.

"Well, I better not waste these power stones; they can at least be put to use," Raze said.

The warriors were able to clear the rest of the beasts from the city easier than they had expected. There weren't many left inside due to the strength of the wanderers that were already inside.

They had dealt with a large number of the beasts somehow, claiming that there was large water that had disrupted and split the beasts up, also causing them to be startled, giving them a chance.

Neil didn't really understand it, but was just thankful that the damage was kept to the minimum. For a moment, he told everyone to remain inside while they continued to sort things out.

That was when he got word from the other members of the Lost Clan. That they had found the location of the portal break and were dealing with it. Whether that was getting rid of the portal or trying to keep the situation under control, he didn't know.

Other than that, the city didn't have to worry anymore and could continue to operate as they did before. A support group of warriors from the Lost Clan had arrived, low-ranking, and Neil was still in charge.

They helped the public get back up on their feet and were helping them with the repairs of the city. With all of that, it only took half a day for them to get back on their feet, and before they knew it, Marcus and the rest of his group were in the same situation as they were, lining up to exit out of the city.

"That was quite a surprising event, but all turned out well in the end," Ponyo said with a smile.

"I'm not sure about that; right now we're just back where we started in the same situation!" Tanya complained. "They've opened up the route again but are still doing the same checks as before, and we still don't know what we have, whether they'll work or not."

Marcus was still reluctant about a few things, for one, the fact that there were those that had seen them use their weapons, but due to the situation, there were too many members of the Lost Clan for them to try and do anything.

The safest option was to just get out of the place.

"Perhaps while everything was happening, we should have tried and forced open the route, but if we didn't help with the situation in the city, then maybe things would have been worse for them and us," Barlan commented with a smile, quite pleased that he was able to do something honorable.

Finally, the group had reached the front once more, and all of them had placed down the emblems the same as last time. It was almost an exact repeat of last time, with Neil, the captain, lifting the emblems up in the air.

As he did so, the emblem in his hand, right behind it, he could see the white-haired young warrior.

"These are all good; you may pass!" Neil ordered.

Quickly, Marcus and the others picked up their emblems from the table, and with that, they continued to walk, entering the entrance of the cave. Finally, they were going to head back to the Dark Faction, and Raze was going to meet Himmy and Charlotte, but they would be heading to the Lethal Bite Clan.

At the table where Neil was, one of the clan members by his side had come over closer.

"Captain, you let them through… even though those were…"

"I know," Neil interrupted. "The fact is, without that young man, we wouldn't be alive, and this city might have completely collapsed. Yet, he never asked for any reward, nor did he even try to seek us out for one, so therefore this is his reward."
