Dark Magus Returns

Although no one would believe it if they were told, but the most shocked about Mantis's transformation and the fact that he was a Hybrid would have been none other than those in the Demonic Faction themselves.

They were stunned as they saw the giant wings cout from his back, and even before that when the middle stage warriors were killed.

Sha Mo had moved to the front of the glass and was standing by Lince's side. When they saw the situation, for a brief moment, they felt slight dread.

"You're the smart one of the Faction," Sha Mo said. "The fact that this has happened with us being here isn't good for us, is it?"

"You're right," Lince replied. "They will no doubt think that we had something to do with this. I wonder what has happened to the kid. We need to know if the —— Clan has anything to do with this as well."

Hybrids were crazy beasts, and it wasn't the Demonic Clan's way to find power in such ways. Although the Demonic Clan cared about power above all, many felt like it had to be one's own power.

Leaving sof the clans to not even rely on equipment or artifacts from other dimensions. Even going as far as not using Qi pills.

After saying those words, Lince turned around. He could see the worry on the rest of the Demonic Faction's face, including the other students. Doing such a thing in the middle of Light Faction territory.

Even with who they were, it would be suicidal to do such a thing. Rather than caring about the tournament itself or the consequences of what was to occur after this, they needed to worry about getting to the Demonic Faction in any way possible.

'If we can get back, then we will be fine.'

Lince moved over and quickly appeared right by Slip's side. The Light Faction warrior who had been watching over them.

"You work for the Light Faction; they should have told you a protocol for what is to happen if anyone was to make any drastic moves like this. You need to tell us now, what is going to happen so we can be prepared!" Lince asked.

Slip was nervous; he felt like he would faint at any moment. Why of all positions did he have to have been assigned to the Demonic Faction where the most trouble was occurring?

However, judging by the reactions of those in the room, Slip knew that they also had no clue about what was happening right now.

"In the arena right now, all of the top Clans of the Light Faction are present. They are stationed in certain areas to move quickly. Leaders of sof the top clans.

"But I'm sure because of the situation, and because of the Behemoth Clan and the Lost Clan leader being here, that even the organizers themselves will chere. It was designed so if we caught on to a plan from a faction that there was no way for your escape."

Lince's eyebrows furrowed, but it was as he had expected. Out of all the clans, the Light Faction would, of course, be the most prepared.

"Everyone, ready yourselves for anything," Lince shouted.

Right after finishing, a large explosion cfrom the wall and the doors. Rubble exploded out, causing dust to enter the room.

Slip, along with Lince, had moved back away from the wall along with all the others and had backed up until their backs were against the class. When the dust started to settle, they could see around thirty Light Faction warriors standing there.

All of them middle-stage warriors, with mass amounts of Qi.

'All of them, it's just like Slip said; they're all Clan heads that are extremely skilled and powerful. They may not be the top three clans of the Light Faction, but they are still not someone we can just brush aside!' Lince thought.

Walking through the center, there were then two more with large white masks on their faces. Two of the organizers, Kawak, the head of the Aura Clan, and Cicle, the head of the —- Clan, were there as well.

"I didn't think you would be so stupid to do such a thing while in our territory, and then you just had to go and do it," Kawak said.

"Don't you think you should gather sevidence before accusing us?" Lince said. "We had no idea as well, and besides, the matter in the ring hasn't been dealt with."

"Oh, but it will," Kawak answered.

When the organizers had witnessed what had occurred on the arena floor, they had to act quickly. Hybrids were extremely powerful, and the student in question was talented as well.

Depending on the beast that had fused with the student, the power in front of them could be an extremely powerful middle-

stage warrior. The fact that they were able to kill two of the Light Faction middle-stage warriors so quickly was proof of strength.

However, they also needed to deal with the Demonic Faction before they got more involved. It was clear that the tournament was over; it wasn't important if a winner was declared or not.

After this event, things would change between the three factions.

"You two head for the Demonic Faction," Ricar, head of the Dawnblade Clan, stated. "Hannah belongs to the Dawnblade Clan, and I will protect her."

The other two had no problem with that and agreed. Before the crowd dispersed, it was important for them to get involved and deal with the situation. The glass viewing area opened, and Ricar jumped down, while the other two had headed off.

When landing, Ricar could hear the sound of the mechanical glass opening up behind him. The organizers' viewing area was stationed right above the Light Faction's.

Turning around, he could see who had cout.

"Beatrix, there is no need for you to cout," Ricar claimed.

"No need? Do you really think so? We have no idea of the strength of this Hybrid," Beatrix answered as the glass started to close behind her; she was the only one that had cout.

"Are you saying that I am not strong enough to take this thing on? Besides, you have already caused trouble; it's hard to trust you," Ricar said.

"Trustbecause of what I did… I only followed the wishes of my disciple, who is her own person, and that's why I'm here now because I'm going to protect my disciple no matter the cost."

If one thing Ricar was sure of, it was the conviction that Beatrix had for her own disciple. So he didn't say anything else. Both of them drawing out their blades, walked through the arena, looking at the Hybrid beast in front of them.

Now coming from one side was the two of them. From the other side, there was Raze and Hannah, and in the center was Mantis.

As they stepped closer, they readied their blades until jumping down from the crowd, a hooded man landed in between Mantis and the two of them.

"I'm sorry, even though I don't want to admit it, he's with us," the hooded man claimed.
