Chapter 676 Raze Vs The Dark Faction

Kawak had wandered off away from the rest of the group, while everyone else was waiting for his orders on what exactly to do with the large crowd of people.

Most had taken carriages or paid joint fares to get to the tournament; some had even left their funds as they had bet on contestants. It was a worrying matter for the local people more than ever.

Eventually, Kawak returned and first went to the Light Faction warriors who were looking after the crowd of people.

"The people will have whatever is owed to them given back. We shall take them to the biggest nearby city, and from there, we will pay for their costs to head back home," Kawak announced.

"Are you sure, sir? Are we not heading back to the arena?"

"That is something that we can deal with later," Kawak replied. "The tournament is over; for now, what is important is getting everyone back to where they need to be. We will sort out everything.

"After that, we will call a meeting in the grand hall with all of the Clan heads. We must hurry."

After giving those orders, the Light Faction warriors were busy gathering information from the people.

Meanwhile, Kawak went over and pulled Cicle to the side to have a separate conversation with him, giving brief eye contact with the people from the Demonic Faction.

"We will let the Demonic Faction go back to their land. I want you to escort them with the clan leaders to make sure they don't do anything," Kawak ordered.

"Are you sure that's the best thing to do?" Cicle answered. "We have them in our territory. They have nowhere to even run; we could get rid of a big part of the Demonic Faction."

"Right now, it might be best to use them. They seem genuinely shocked by this whole thing as well. In the meantime, we have to be prepared for what will happen, so fighting against them will not be a smart move."

"And what about Ricar?" Cicle asked. "Are we not going back to help him? If he loses his life, I doubt the ten elders of the Dawnblade Clan will be pleased."

"Nine," Kawak corrected him. "And sometimes sacrifices are needed. If he is strong enough, then he will live."

Raze was quite aware that Hannah hadn't been moving because of him, and not having the Light Faction attack them from behind and owe them a favor would be nice with the mess they were to get involved in.

"I hope that with this, you will stay to your principles and not attack us or get involved in all of this," Raze said.

Hannah moved and quickly ran over to Beatrix who embraced her with a hug. The three of them soon moved back and then jumped to the stands. They didn't head away, though.

No Ricar thought with everything that might happen today, it was too important to just run away; he needed to see what was going to take place.

That was when the glass door had finally opened up, and the entirety of the Dark Faction was seen walking out, with Murkel at the front, and the students at the very back.

"I see that you have done this with some type of purpose in mind," Murkel said.

Amir was looking at all of the people behind the Dark Faction. They were some of the strongest in the entire of the Dark Faction.

Although this was easier than attacking them in the academy, it was only marginally better.

"I suppose you have been working with this student for a long time, planning behind my back. I wonder why you have decided to betray the Dark Faction," Murkel asked.

"You think I'm betraying the Dark Faction. You don't understand, and you never would. What I am doing is trying to help the whole of Pagna, and I have decided that this person is very important," Amir answered. "You wouldn't believe me if I said we weren't working together, and him coming here was a coincidence.

"In fact, you weren't even a target of mine. At least not yet. But if it comes to helping him out, someone who I believe will be a key to our society, then I will help."

Murkle then looked directly at Raze who had Anna, Cronker, and others standing by his side. His legs looked a little weak.

"So I heard what you said boy, that you wish to get rid of the Dark Faction and take it over. That was your whole plan. You are far too young to say anything like that... right now you can barely even stand, you have no idea what you're up against."

Murkel started to unleash his dark Qi, it shrouded behind him around his shoulders so dense, dark, and heavy.

That was when Raze pulled out a Qi pill, and placed it in his mouth, biting down, cracking the pill, and swallowing it whole.

"Far too young," Raze smiled. "I have no idea what I'm up against; I could say the exact same to you!"
