Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 669 The Dawnblade Clan acts (Part 1)

?The crowd had mixed feelings about what was going on. Some of them felt a bit unsettled by the hybrid and the chaos that was taking place.

All bets were off, and clearly the martial tournament had ended. There was a slight fear that something could happen to them if there were bigger plans than this.

Maybe an entire invasion was set to occur from the Demonic faction if this was truly a planned attack. Others felt a little more at ease.

The tournament wasn't taking place on any of the borders, and there was good reason as to why this had happened, for reasons like this one.

Bubble, the infamous reporter who spread news far and wide to every continent's corner, also had mixed feelings.

'What is happening here could change all of Pagna. I'm excited to witness it with my own eyes, but I fear that bigger things might occur,' Bubble thought as he gauged a reaction from those in front.

"Hey, is it really safe to be here? I know we have the middle stage warriors protecting us at the front, but that student just took out two of them like that," one of the crowd members who was closest to the edge said with concern.

"We should be fine, right? Aren't Pagna warriors not meant to get involved in regular citizens? Otherwise, it will start giant chaos. There are a lot of non-warrior people here, so we shouldn't be attacked."

"Do you think that a Hybrid will really care about that? Aren't they part beast to begin with? They can just blame it on that."

The others agreed with the man's thoughts. Even more so, they started to think of things they saw brushed under the rug daily.

The times were Pagan warriors abused their powers and even when reported to the government officials and kingdoms, how they sat there and did nothing in response.

"You're right. If this has happened, why aren't they clearing out the crowd and letting us go? If anything, they've blocked out the main exits in the arena, and it's making me kind of nervous."

"It's because it would be embarrassing for the Light Faction," Bubble answered.

Even though the group of men talking weren't speaking to him, he couldn't help but get involved after overhearing them.

"Right now, the strongest members of the Light faction are in this place. If they let everyone go, it would mean they were scared or worried. It would show a sign of weakness for the Light Faction.

"They need to prove to everyone that from a simple attack like this, in their territory, that they can easily protect the place... I'm sure right now, there might be other things going on, and I need to move as well."

Turning around from his seat, his flashy silk clothing sparkled in the others' eyes. They had never seen such extravagant clothing before, and they knew this person was someone, even just by the way he spoke.

Maybe they would have asked who this person was if it wasn't such a dire matter because when turning their heads, they were wondering just what was going to happen on the arena floor and whether or not they were really safe.

In the Dark Faction viewing area, Murkel along with the others in the room were having a field day at what was happening.

"I never thought that the Demonic Faction would be so brazen to do such a thing!" Murkel smiled. "At this rate, it looks like we will have to do nothing; the Light Faction will eliminate all of the Demonic Faction that are here."

"You are correct, and I doubt that the Light Faction will come out of this without any major injuries," Gavin stated. "The Demonic Faction might retaliate even further and go in for a full attack, giving us all the opportunity to do as we wish."

"There is one thing that you have to consider: if the Demonic Faction has done this, they had to have a good reason. They also have to be confident in some type of plan they have," Crine added. "For us, the best option is to just let things play out and take all the rewards together."

There was a reason for the Dark Faction's pleasure in all of this. In truth, Murkel was worried that the Dark Faction's strength had weakened considerably.

It was why he had tried so hard to improve the students' strength, to still appear the strongest out of the three, or at least not the weakest.

A spark in the Dark Faction had been lost, especially after losing the Lethal Bite Clan and the constant infighting within the Dark Faction that was occurring.

Until that was quelled, they were unable to make a move.

Out on the arena, Ricar and Beatrix were walking side by side, ready to deal with the Hybrid Mantis before he got any ideas of attacking the students out on the field.

Since it was someone from the Demonic Faction, Beatrix also had a fear that the one known as Demon was also in on this and would be ready to attack Hannah at any point in time, which was why she had to come out and help.

As they were ready to attack Mantis head-on though, from the crowd jumping right past the middle stage warriors, was a hooded man landing in between them.

The middle stage warriors were busy thinking of protecting the crowd, that they never even thought someone would jump right into the fire that was there in front of them.

"As expected," Ricar said. "It seems that the demonic faction has more surprises than we thought. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so confident in getting involved."

"Hey," the hooded man shouted, turning his head slightly toward Mantis, who seemed to be struggling and fighting with his new body.

"You want to learn how to control that thing and how to go back to normal?"

"Grah!" Mantis had turned his head to look at the hooded man.

"Then, take out that old man, and we'll help you and your clan."

It was almost as if Mantis had lost his mind, unable to communicate properly. Yet for some reason, after the hooded man had said those words, Mantis had leapt up from his position.

He jumped up high in the air and flapped his wings, which suddenly moved him two times faster, and was right in front of Ricar, striking with his clawed hands.

Ricar protected himself, lifting up his sword which was covered in his Light Qi, and he was being pushed back. His feet being dragged through the dirt.

"Such strength, it's no wonder you were able to take out those other Middle stage warriors so easily, but I am no ordinary middle stage warrior." The light around Ricar's sword started to light up further and further until it encased the entire body of Ricar and was now touching Mantis.

When it hit his skin, a sizzling sound was heard, and smoke started to appear from his fingers; quickly Mantis had jumped back. f𝚛𝚎𝗲we𝗯𝗻ovel.𝐜om

The top layer of his skin had burned off, but the moment he had exited out of the range of Ricar's Qi, his fingers started to heal.

"A special trait of the hybrids, it's not going to be easy to beat him," the hooded man said as he had jumped in front of Beatrix before she could join in the fight and swung his fist.

It had clashed against her sword, but the great power had pushed her back.

"Why are you getting in our way!" Beatrix shouted as she charged forward, not looking at her opponent instead looking at the Demon who was still standing by Hannah, wondering just what he was planning to do and his involvement in all of this.
