Dark Magus Returns - Chapter 674: Raze’s Plan In Action

Safa, and the rest of the Dark Faction students, were watching what Raze was doing with a careful eye. They were standing behind where the adults were watching through the glass.

All of them were starting to wonder if this was the time for them. What Raze was doing right now, did it mean that today was the day, the day that they would need to act?

They had to follow his lead, and knowing what had happened so far, they also knew that this was their only chance. Murkel was ready to get rid of every single one of them.

When they could see the Light Faction warriors on the move, all of them had worry, that was until they could see Cronker arriving with the other students.

They too had been training hard and quickly used their skills to seemingly appear out of the shadows from the crowd.

It was the perfect moment for them. All of the warriors that were stood on the wall of the arena, jumping down they could jump down too without getting caught or hurt.

It was the perfect chance for them to strike from behind when the others didn’t expect it.

‘Yes!’ Safa thought in her head. ‘Cronker is there to protect them as well. With all of them, Raze can do what he needs to do.’

Yet, the big question was still on everyone’s mind, what was it that Raze was even trying to do, to accomplish in this moment? Was his plan so big that he was willing to use magic in front of all of these people?

From the Demonic Faction area, they too were looking at what was going on, and they noticed that Cronker, as well as the other three that stood by his side, they were wearing the Dark Faction’s clothing.

They were clearly part of the Dark Faction, so why were they protecting a Demonic Student?

“This entire situation is starting to hurt my head,” Lince said. “Now Even I have to think, did we team up with the Dark Faction, and did no one tell us?”

The confusion was stopping the Light Faction from attacking, and it was starting to turn into a situation where it was better for an act now and ask questions later type of thing.

However, that was when right where they were standing, the ground underneath them started to light up.

All of them could feel a small tingling sensation in their feet. The area of where the Light Faction viewing area, the area underneath their feet was also starting to light up.

Then finally, the area in the crowd, right underneath their feet, everything started to light up as well.

Quickly shifting where he was, Raze had turned to face the Dark Faction viewing area, and at that moment he only had a few words to say.

“Spell complete!”

The entire area lit up in a bright light. Every person had their vision obscured and needed to close their eyes. They did just that as the bright light consumed them, it was only for a few seconds and then it disappeared.

The bright light from the arena had disappeared, and the sound that was being heard had turned almost into a silence.

Beatrix and Ricar, both of them had stopped fighting, and their heads lifted in the air, looking at the crowd, the stands.

“What…have you done, you demon, what did you do!” Ricar shouted so loud his voice vibrated.

Beatrix just weakly held her sword by her side when looking at everything.

“Where did they go, everyone, they’re all gone!” Beatrix shouted out.

Alba and Anna had a satisfied look on their faces and gave out a big sigh of relief.

“It looks like the first part of his plan worked right?” Alba said.

The two females gave each other a deep smile as they looked at the state of the place.

After activating his spell, the entire crowd of people had disappeared. There wasn’t a single person left in the crowd itself, all of them had gone after the flash of bright light.

However, it wasn’t just them either. In the Light Faction viewing area, all of those that were present had disappeared.

Then there was also the Demonic Faction viewing area. Sha Mo, Lince, and the Light Faction heads that were present, all of them were gone as well.

This had been part of Raze’s big plan. A lot of preparations were needed to cast a spell so large. In particular, a large amount of high-level crystals.

If they couldn’t gather high-level crystals, then Raze would have to try his luck at combining them and making higher-tier powerstones.

It seemed like a waste to use so many high-tier powerstones, but Alba as well as Cronker had been spreading them throughout the arena.

Since Raze wasn’t a 9-star mage, or even an 8-star mage, he couldn’t use such a large-scale spell on his own, he needed an external source of power.

He needed to get it into the arena without raising suspicion, and the others had done just that for him.

Then, he needed to create the spell that was required to do what needed to be done. Using his magic, he would draw the circle on the spot as best he could.

Things didn’t quite go to plan, under all of the chaos that had been made, which had caused Raze to improvise in the middle of his match.

If he could, he would have done this away from the eyes of the others, maybe just before the award ceremony or when the results were added.

However, he decided that this was the best time for him to act because in doing all of this he had a very particular goal.

“That was the same boy as before. It seems I may have underestimated his actions and his involvement in everything,” Amir said to himself.

“I told you, didn’t I?” Dame said. “He is a person that is going to change the world of Pagna. If you want to complete your goal, then it’s best you get him on your side.”

“Right,” Amir nodded, “But what exactly was his goal in all of this?”

“How did he do it…how,” Beatrix said still at a loss, and it was the same for Hannah.

“Everyone in this place, they’ve all disappeared,” Hannah said from the floor.

She noticed that the only ones that were left were those that were in the Arena. Leaving only Ricar, Beatrix, and herself as those from the Light Faction.

With them three, if they were to go up against everyone it would be a straight-up loss, even with Ricar, and it seemed like he knew that as well.

“No,” Raze said as he got up, he looked a little shaky.

‘I used too much magic,’ Raze thought as he went to touch his chest. He could feel the spiral of magic that would surrounded his core, his heart, they were weaker. ‘That spell took more out of me than I thought..but.’

“Not everyone is gone,” Raze said as he looked ahead at the Dark Faction viewing area, the only place that had been unaffected by the spell that had been used.

“This is the start of the plan, to eliminate, and take over the Dark Faction!” Raze declared.
