Chapter 929: Red Fortis Reunion
Chapter 929: Red Fortis Reunion
Zon, leaving the Dark Faction, was traveling fast across the land. Since Raze hadn't used his distress signal, he wasn't able to open up a portal to reach his side.
Right now, Zon couldn't just risk waiting for that to happen, so he was traveling across the continent. However, he was moving at quite a fast speed, because of two reasons.
Due to the unique structure of his body, he didn't tire, and he could move even faster than most warriors. However, his body would run out of energy, and when running out of energy he would need to replenish that.
On top of that, he was using the new item he had obtained, allowing him to teleport certain distances in a flash as well. Using both of these things, he was making great progress and was already in the Demonic Faction.
When he had reached the Demonic Faction, he realized something and stopped in the middle of an open, deserted wasteland.
"I've run out of crystals... and for what's to come, I might need a large variety of crystals. My energy is already low because of the fight that I had with that Deleter, and everything else I had been doing after."
"I rushed so much that I didn't think properly."
Zon tapped the side of his head, remembering some things from the past. Because he was eager to complete missions with his squad, he had completely disregarded other things that had put him and the Red Fortis army in trouble.
"If Raze is heading to the Neverfall Clan, there has to be a reason for it. The chances of him learning the truth on his own are quite high. Over 90 percent."
"If I were to guess, then there is a good chance that the two of us will be able to meet there. It might be best to avoid going to the Neverfall Clan."
There were multiple worries in Zon's mind. One of them being that he might be a step behind the others' movements. Right now he was quite far from where he wanted to be, he had to travel as north as possible in the Demonic Faction.
On top of that, in the past when in the Demonic Faction, it was the most frequent place where The would get into scuffles here and there.
"I have no choice, the best course of action is to head north. If Raze doesn't come, then I will just have to sort out everything myself."
"I'll find a portal around here, and quickly gather some beast crystals. After that, I'm coming for you... I never realized you ended up here after all, Red." Zon thought.
His body quickly disappeared from sight at that moment.
Raze, the two brothers Fing and Han, as well as Brack were all traveling from the town of Flendon to the Neverfall Clan base.
They were moving slightly slower than they would have because Brack was unable to fully keep up with them.
"I still don't understand why you brought someone like him along," Fing scoffed.
"You should let him do what he wants," Han replied. "I'm sure the Dark Magus has his own reasons for such things."
Although Han himself, no matter how much he thought about it, couldn't understand why he was bringing Brack along with him, why he had said yes.
If Raze had brought one of the other stronger warriors, then he could understand.
For Brack though, even though it was hard, he was pushing himself.
"I just have to think of this like training!" Brack thought. "It's because of Raze now that I've managed to survive so many times. I need to become a better, stronger warrior!"
As they continued to travel, Raze had surprisingly started to talk to Brack.
"Since you were one of the major disciples of the Behemoth Clan, did you ever learn Sha Mo's unusual Qi techniques?" Raze asked.
"Are you talking about him being able to change size?" Brack asked. "That was something unique to him, but the other stuff he could do. Controlling his Qi and forcing it down like a snake of sorts, that's the Behemoth Clan's specialty."
"So do you know it?" Raze asked, getting to the point.
"I know the theory of it, and can do it on a small scale, but not to the major extent that Sha Mo could," Brack answered.
"Right... well that should be enough then," Raze said.
His conversation cut short as they saw the Neverfall Clan right ahead.
All of them easily jumped over the wall, and upon entering, the members that were on the top floor bowed down to the two brothers.
The thing was, they didn't even lift their heads as they bowed down; they continued to look at the floor, not raising it until they walked past.
"Usually you would need a pass of sorts, but you're with us, and we basically have the same authority as the head of the clan or the elders here, so you don't have to worry too much," Fing said.
Eventually, they walked up to the edge, and Brack looked down into the center. It was his first time being in the Neverfall Clan base, and he couldn't even see the bottom.
More so, he could feel an intense heat coming from the bottom.
"Our base is unique," Fing explained. "The lower levels are only for middle-stage warriors. If someone like you went so far down, then they wouldn't be able to even move about."
Raze, looking at the clan base, was doing so with open eyes. He felt like something had to be here. This was where the message from the Dark Faction founder was found.
This was where the Dark Edge Sword Arts were found as well. The relation between the Demonic Faction and the mage from Alterian that had come to the world of Pagna.
All of that was here, and there had to be a reason. Raze was ready to face Belil.
"Hey, if you want, I can help you out." Fing said.
"What do you mean?" Brack asked, turning around.
"Help you get a closer look." Fing then pushed Brack in the chest. His whole body lifted into
the air, and Brack was in the center, falling into the deep pit.
