Dark Magus Returns
chapter-574

Sha Mo, the leader of the Behemoth Clan, and as their name suggested, they were an incredibly large clan.

Not just large, but they were the biggest clan in terms of members compared to all of the other clans in the Demonic Faction.

Usually, size didn't equal strength, but the Demonic Faction weren't exactly known for having weak clan members, which made them one of the most frightening forces in all of Pagna.

No one wished to start a fight with them, whether they thought they could win or lose, just due to the sheer amount of members.

At the same time, Sha Mo himself seemed to get larger the more members he had. He wasn't just tall but was thick like a sturdy immovable mountain.

He had come to the event out of respect for the Neverfall Clan. The Demonic Faction only existed because all of the large clans were in a type of treaty to not attack each other, but now with Belil making a move like so, Sha Mo was wondering what he was planning.

He had been listening to the event, wondering who his daughter had been married off to, and when he had heard the name the Dark Magus, his blood started to boil.

Originally, Sha Mo had requested the Dark Magus to come and join his clan. To do whatever was necessary and even use force.

He didn't care that Raze had belonged to the Crimson Crane; he was used to taking what he wanted, and it was only one member.

With his large force, he could imagine supplementing them with powerful Qi pills; it would make his army even more devastating.

Which was why he was so keen on having him. Yet, the Dark Magus had not only refused the Behemoth Clan, he had even attacked and killed their members.

The Crimson Crane had defeated the Behemoth Clan in a battle. It wasn't an all-out war, but it was still embarrassing.

Rather than wishing to have the Dark Magus on his side, from then on, Sha Mo had promised to himself that it was better if he was to get rid of this person.

If he ever found out who the Dark Magus was, what he looked like and who to go after, he would kill him where he stood, and now he could see him right now.

Yet, Sha Mo had been keeping his anger inside him; he had done so for a while, all because of who was on the stage. Belil and even his two sons.

It was rare to see all three of them in one place, yet here they were.

"Did you hear me!" Sha Mo shouted. He had been holding in his anger for a while, but how could he see the Dark Magus so happy, so joyous, after the disrespect he had given to him.

Raze didn't reply to the man, as he looked at Sha Mo. He was trying to eye him up, to see whether he stood a chance in a fight.

The Qi was emitting from his body, and made the air feel incredibly heavy. Usually, it was just due to the pressure of Qi, but Raze almost felt as if his body was physically being pushed to the ground and he had to use his own strength to stand up.

"I won't ask for your head, even though I should due to what you have done, and how you have been hiding like a rat!" Sha Mo shouted. "Which is why, a hand will do, that will quell my anger, and I shall accept this marriage to go through."

Hearing these words, it was Rayna that was the one filled with anger, she took a step forward ahead of Raze.

"You are threatening him, who is now part of my family!" Rayna said. "He refused your proposal and now you are trying to force him to give his hand, to be disadvantaged in his whole life."

"All I see is fear running in you, fear that his strength is too much for you to handle."

Usually, Rayna wouldn't dare to say such words, but she knew what was coming next.

Immediately, Sha Mo lifted his large club, and it was covered in Qi to the point that the club had turned black. Pure condensed Qi covered the club and it was swung down right at the stage.

Ready to destroy the whole thing and anyone who stood on it. When the club bashed down, the Qi exploded up in the air and out in all different areas.

It sounded like a loud explosion that could be heard from the entire city. Yet, the club hadn't hit the stage, instead, Han was standing there with one of his hands held out.

Ripples were continuously flowing through the air, right at where the club was. This was a battle between two Qi's being used in different ways.

It was the first time Raze had seen such a thing, and he decided to keep a close eye.

'Even though I have reached the middle stage myself, these two are on a different level to me. Was the other brother taking it easy on me, or is Han just that much more powerful?' Raze thought.

The Qi from the attack and the blocking of Han started to affect those in the market square that were standing close by.

They were falling to the floor, almost passing out.

"Enough!" Belil shouted in his loud bellowing voice.

In an instant, Han stopped his defense and jumped back on stage, while Sha Mo didn't pursue attacking any further either.

"I understand the issues that you have raised, I respect you Sha Mo, the business that you have with the Dark Magus, and the business you have with the Neverfall Clan, will be two separate things as I stated before.

"The Dark Magus is not part of the Neverfall Clan, and my daughter will go off with the Dark Magus claiming new territory."

"You are free to do as you wish, and act how you want then!"

Raze was starting to remember the brother's words, how everyone in the Neverfall Clan had to act on their own, and based on what Belil was saying they might be right.

Protection from Belil, he couldn't count on it.

"Today though, is a joyous day and a celebration of my Clan and my family, so I will not have you ruin it. If you wish to pursue this further, then I will get involved as well," Belil stated, staring right into Sha Mo's eyes.

The two of them continued to stare into each other's eyes for a while, until Sha Mo let out a large grunt, almost like a pig's snort, and walked back to his place with the other leaders.

"This is a joyous day, today we shall all celebrate the marriage of these two young ones right here!"

Belil lifted his arms up and in response, the whole area cheered and the celebrations started. The drink bottles were pulled out, food started to be served, and the whole city was a lively place celebrating the big day.

Belil then came over and walked to his daughter and new son.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to the new town you will be in charge of. You two will be on your own then, get stronger, and become a sword that I can use… or die and be forgotten."

"As for today, there is a room rented out in the Red Dragon Inn. You two will sleep the night, and I hope to have some grandchildren!"
