Dark Magus Returns
chapter-470

There were many times since entering Pagna that Raze didn't know whether to feel lucky or unlucky. Situations would occur that allowed him to grow and progress, while at the same time there were also situations that felt like they were meant to hinder him.

At times the bad could turn into good situations, but considering how things went so far, and how he was in the Dark Faction right now, he had a streak of bad luck and this felt like one of those times.

'I should have known,' Raze thought. 'After learning that the Factions use strong and some of their best clans to defend them, that the Dark Faction would have one of the five major clans protecting the border.

'Out of all of them, it had to be the Lethal Bite Clan.'

The group could see a large queue that was filled with hundreds of people. The people themselves varied, some looking like regular citizens, others Wanderers, but there didn't seem to be many clan members.

At the other end, located at the very back of the city, was a large mountain. The back side of it almost was a part of the city itself, and stationed in front of it, quite a few makeshift and open buildings had been made.

There were a number of clan members that were checking things over. Judging by how fast the queue was moving, they would at least be here for three more hours, but that did give Raze some time to think as well.

'The Lethal Bite Clan, none of them would recognize me apart from Feebie herself,' Raze thought. 'It shouldn't be a problem. I also wonder what the state of the clan will currently be in. Since Feebie, the head, and vice head of the clan is no more.

'I doubt the news has spread but it should make things easier to move. It also gives me another idea. With the Clan Head gone and the place in chaos, there might be a chance to take a few items for myself, to help me progress in my journey and get ahead.'

The group waited as they slowly shifted forward, getting closer and closer to the tunnel. Since there were many people around them, they had stopped talking about things such as Alter and just went on to conversations about food and other places they had visited while they were here.

What Raze did notice was that the large weapons that they had been carrying in the open and around the area for a while, they now had them in crates and had tied them to their backs.

Marcus in particular was the one that was carrying them and had been doing so with ease. Which was strange, since he wasn't a Pagna warrior; it seemed he had more strength than the usual individual, and his reflex back at the inn was fast enough to dodge a strike from the Pagna warrior.

It was clear that he wasn't a normal person.

'Otherworlders are centrally interesting, and the fact that there are more people than just from that of Alterian and Pagna is something I need to keep an eye on.'

After waiting for an hour it seemed like they were now halfway through the queue, but the queue had also equally increased in length behind them, and that was when something could be heard from up ahead.

"What do you think you're doing!" A loud voice shouted.

Right after a crash was heard, and a man could be seen being kicked to the ground. One of the clan members from the Lost Clan with the colored armband had slammed his foot into the ground right next to the man's crotch who was on the floor.

"This Tag right here." The Lost Clan member dangled a piece of Iron with an X mark in the center on a piece of rope. "This is a fake, why would you be carrying a fake, are you a Pagna warrior that is trying to sneak out of the Demonic Faction?"

The man was already nervously sweating and was pushing his hands onto the floor, scooting backward.

"No, I promise, I have always been an adventurer and got a replacement Tag a few days ago. I thought there was no problem with it, it must have been the regulators, they must have given me a fake they had in stock or something."

"The regulators are handled by the Lost Clan, now you are tainting our name by saying we made a mistake!" The Clan member shouted. "You must be a spy, who has somehow entered from the Dark Faction and now are trying to return, we can't let you escape!"

Right then, the man on the ground's expression had completely changed. It was right then that he gave off the ground with his two feet. The Lost Clan member had chased right after him, and jumped with his sword by his side.

When the clan member swung his sword, the other man had drawn a blade from his back and stopped the attack. However, the powerful Qi sent him flying and sliding on the ground close to the group of people.

"Hey hero guy, don't get involved this time," Marcus commented. "If we did, this clan as our enemy is definitely not something we want."

Raze never had any intention of getting involved in the first place with this. He had no idea if this man was really a criminal or not, and he wasn't directly involved. There was a reason these things were happening to them.

Just as the man got off from the ground, one clan member had appeared from behind and stomped him in the back while the other who had been chasing him, appeared slashing his sword right at his neck.

Some of the people trying to exit out of the city squeezed as they saw this sight, others covered their eyes, while some thought it was just the normal outcome.

After the person was dealt with, two people came to drag the body away. Then there were some cleaners from the city that had arrived to clear the blood up, while the process of moving forward trying to get out of the place continued.

"Are we going to be okay?" Raze asked as he brought out the emblem he had. It looked different to the one the other man had, as his was round in shape but he figured it was because his was given by the Dark Faction.

"Honestly, I have no idea whether or not it's a real one or a fake one," Marcus answered. "But we promised we would take you out of here, and we need to get out of here ourselves."

"Ha!" Tanya laughed. "Why don't you just tell him the truth."

Raze was wondering what Tanya meant by this, she then reached in and pulled out an Emblem from her pocket. It was round in size and had an X marking on it. At the same time, Ponyo pulled out his as well, and so did the rest of the group.

"We all have the same Emblem as you, so to put it simply if they don't let you in, we're all F*cked." Tanya laughed, and their turn was soon approaching.
