Chapter 466 Another Solution

The tension in the room was palpable. People were extremely frightened, some shaking, others clinging to each other tightly. A few were biting their nails so hard they started to bleed at the tips of their fingers.

These strangers had killed the Pagna warriors inside and weren't letting any more outside. In that moment, they were praying for anyone, anything to come and save them, and that's when they could see the unlikely discourse taking place between the very group that they were all frightened of.

"What? Do you have a problem with people dying and killing?" Marcus asked. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"I don't have a problem with killing," Raze answered. "Especially if it's those that deserve it."

Raze was acutely aware of the feelings in the room; when he looked at them, he imagined how others felt. These people, uninvolved and just enjoying their lives, were getting punished because of their strong actions, even more so, his strong actions.

When he had first come here, Raze was too obsessed with his revenge and this being a new world that he felt detachment from those around, but he was realizing that all of these people were real people.

As he interacted with more of those from Pagna, he realized he had no issue with dealing with those that were already prepared to risk their lives or those that deserved it, but not those that got involved unnecessarily.

This had always been the case for him. At times, there might be a time where he had no choice but to kill those in front of him because they were getting in his way. They themselves might have not been bad, but it was the consequence of his revenge.

What he never did, no matter how far he went, was kill those that didn't need to be killed. It was never something of joy, and if it could be avoided, he would do so.

"Do I have to explain?" Marcus said as he could feel the energy rising in him. He was a little worried about this strange mage. They had displayed their powers to him clearly a few times, and yet he still was ready to fight them all.

There were only two reasons one would do that: they were overly confident they would win in a fight, or they were a complete idiot, and he hadn't had enough time to decide which one Raze fell into.

"We are not meant to be here, we were never here, and if there is any trace of us left behind, then it could cause larger trouble. You know the greater goal that Alter has? Because of what we do, the world of Pagna can still exist in the state it is in today."

"But if you battle with us, that will be starting a war with the whole of Alter, and you might be stuck in the Demonic Faction."

It was a battle of intense stares, and they were all wondering what was going on. This white-haired kid, why was he sticking up for them? Moreover, they wanted him to somehow convince the others even though they couldn't hear what was happening.

"There is a spell I can cast, a spell that will make them all lose their memory. They will fall asleep, and when we leave, if they wake up, they won't remember what we look like or what happened.

"Either way, this result and your result produce the same outcome."

"Is it true?" Marcus turned to look at Barlan. "Is there such a spell?"

"There is... I don't think he's lying," Barlan answered.

There was silence for a moment while Marcus was thinking on whether or not to trust Raze. If this didn't work, then Raze would have to leave these people be, because helping himself out was more important to him.

But at least he could say he tried to stop the others.

"Alright, go ahead and activate your spell. As you say, killing them all could cause larger problems, not just with the clans but the kingdom itself as well," Marcus then clapped his hands. "Come on, get to work."

Raze started to draw a large circle on the ground. He called to the people to gather them up in the middle in one area so he didn't have to draw as large of a circle and began to go ahead with the runes. But while doing all of this, there was still a problem he needed to solve.

'I understand why Barlan thought I could do this; it's because of my Blazer and its Light Magic properties he must have sensed, but I still have a problem because this spell requires Light Magic to work and I don't have Light Magic.

'So right now, this spell is impossible for me to cast!'
