Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 613 Enter The Light Faction

?Sha Mo's eyes were focused on Raze; he wasn't turning away from him for a moment nor was he bothering to look at the other contestants.

Even Xank, who said everything would be okay initially between them, gulped as he wasn't so sure anymore.

'How was he able to figure out who I was?' Raze thought. 'So many people have seen me in the mask and seen me in person but haven't been able to put two and two together.'

'Some might have had the thought, but would think they were crazy, so how did Sha Mo manage to figure it out? Is the Qi lingering out of my body?'

Due to Raze being able to condense his Qi even further than that of warriors at the same stage as him. This skill only increased when he had reached the middle stage.

He was so good at it, that even other middle stage warriors couldn't tell what stage he was at because next to no Qi would leak out of his body.

This was also the case for those like Belil and Sha Mo. The two of them would often just leak out a small fraction of it on purpose as a way to win a battle without lifting a finger at times as well, or to exert pressure.

"I can't believe it, how could someone so small like you take out my two pillars… you certainly must have some secrets about you," Sha Mo said.

Everyone could hear his loud and deep voice clearly. They could tell what he was insinuating. Was the student that had been accepted on behalf of the Crimson Crane really the Dark Magus?

"Just to make you aware, things like Qi pills won't be able to be used during the tournament events, only in between the rounds that take place," Sha Mo explained.

"You're lucky that I wish to see your strength with my own eyes, and for this assessment, it seems like you might be a big help."

Sha Mo could tell, he knew that Raze was a middle stage warrior, and knowing that, he was confident that with him they would win this fight, and ultimately it was the reason why he had decided to leave him be.

With his eyes finally off from Raze, there was one other person that had caught the attention of Sha Mo.

"What's happened to you… you feel different, I've met you before as well," Sha Mo asked. His eyes were looking at Mantis, the Black Tiger.

Yet even with Sha Mo asking him a question, he was able to stand there not nervous, while the other contestants nearby were showing some signs of weakness.

"What a strange group of people we will have for the tournament this year," Sha Mo stated.

"Yes, and it's our duty, to make sure to protect them, and that they get out of the Light Faction without a scratch on their body."

The voice came from the side, the slightly slender man, covered in black bandages around his arms and the upper part of his face; this was Lince, leader of the Lost Clan.

On his back, he had several different shaped spears on his back that were fanned out like a fan.

"Great you are here!" Xank said. "Now that everyone is present, we can head off."

The large group had a total of eight carriages that were heading to the Light Faction. The Neverfall Clan, along with Xank, had two members present that were there for his protection.

Then, in each of the carriages, there was the participating student, along with two members of their clan in the carriages as well.

So in Raze's carriage, he had Alba and Anna, representing the Crimson Crane Clan. Finally, there then was a separate carriage each for Sha Mo, and Lince who were traveling on their own.

During the journey, those in Xank's clan, as well as the other carriages would take it in turns to step outside and make sure the situation was fine.

They were running at the same speed as the horses and keeping up, making sure nothing would get in their way.

Then finally, they had reached the border of the Light Faction. There were warriors waiting for them and an inspection occurred.

The Light Faction checked how many people were present and matched it up with the list of people that had been sent beforehand.

Right after that, they could continue on their way. While in the carriage, Anna, and Raze were constantly looking outside because the Light Faction was vastly different from the Dark Faction and the Demonic Faction.

"There's so much wildlife here, and followers with large fields," Raze commented. It wasn't just that, but the people were living in larger houses, and they weren't cramped together.

Raze could even see strange machinery being used on the crops, machinery that felt as if it was too advanced for Pagna, helping them with their lifestyles.

Stuff he hadn't seen in the other two factions.

"Ah right, it will be the first time both of you have come to the Light Faction, right?" Alba asked. "The Light Faction is definitely the nicest out of the three places."

"The general citizens seem happy here, and they have a closer connection with the kingdoms in this area. It seems the clans use a lot of their investments to help the town people grow as well, rather than just thinking about themselves."

While hearing the story, Raze thought that there was a but in there somewhere. Why did wanderers exist, if the Light Faction was such a nice place, then why didn't Alba and her group decide to settle here?

"However, it just isn't a place for everyone, especially warriors that don't want to stick to the strict rules and morals that the Light Faction uphold," Alba continued. "There was just always a strange feeling when I came here, as if I was constantly being watched."

Raze knew what she meant because he felt the same way the moment he had entered the Light Faction. While looking out the window, Raze had noticed large towns and cities in the distance.

And then he could see it up ahead, built slightly away in a large field in its own area away from the city, there was a giant coliseum, and arena that was made just for the martial arts tournament.

"We're here," Raze said.

And, it wasn't just them that had arrived.
