Dark Magus Returns

The Lost Clan, a pivotal Clan in the Demonic Faction, was at the center of information gathering. Due to their position, no clan wished to get on their bad side.

At the same time, they were good at keeping information as well, such as the total numbers of the clan and the strength of each of the members.

People were unaware of the lengths they had gone to in the past and currently, even the fact that Lince, the leader of the Lost Clan, had ordered the elimination of the Behemoth Clan members.

Because of this, it wasn't often that the leader of the clan would be at the base or in a singular city. Orders would be sent through various different members, which others weren't able to get their hands on.

Lately, though, Lince had been away from the base longer than usual, and even now he was busy riding in a carriage. His black hair was sticking out from a headband that he would wear slightly slanted.

He still had the black mask that would cover the bottom part of his face. At times, people had even mistakenly called him Kakashi, whoever that was.

As the carriage bumped up and down through the dry desert, he couldn't help but think about a particular individual in his mind whom he had recently visited.

'Belil, are you going through with what you said right now?' Lince thought. 'I still can't believe everything you told me about. If I were in your shoes, I don't think I could do it... but what am I talking about? Even now I'm moving because of you. I guess you infected me somehow with all of this.'

Eventually, the carriage came to a stop, and Lince exited the vehicle. He threw a few silver coins to the driver as he looked at the sight in front of him.

He could smell the salt in the air and hear the waves crashing back and forth.

"I can't even remember the last time I visited this place," Lince said as he looked at the giant ships docked on the wooden platform.

Lince had traveled as far north in the Demonic Faction, bringing him to such a place. It wasn't a city where many people lived, and that was due to the large number of criminals who would live in such an area.

There were a large number of pirates in the city itself, and there was no clan that protected the place. So it was either pirates and warriors against one another, or just those who were running away from something, being chased. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

On the front, there were plenty of inns and drinking areas, where a fight would occur.

Lince walked through the city, and as he walked on the stone flooring, he saw men running, being chased past him.

He saw a group of children who had even used knives and other tools to gang up on a single individual.

Lince soon stopped in the middle of the street as well, and a man came hurtling from the side and went right past him. Looking to his left, he could see a broken door and another large man moving forward.

"At some point, it would be good if the Demonic Faction could deal with this town, but now is not the right time."

Eventually, Lince reached the harbor. Just walking along the many ships, he could sense the high-level warriors guarding each of the ships.

It was the only way they could deter other thieves from trying to take what was theirs.

"I guess I should start asking," Lince said as he headed toward one of the ships.

Immediately, one of the warrior guards moved towards him.

"Hold up, what are you- "

In the middle of the warrior's sentence, Lince had disappeared, and he was already on the ship itself among the other crew members.

"Are you the captain?" Lince asked.

"Aye." A man with several missing teeth said, with a black bandana on top of his head. The man was quite startled, suddenly seeing Lince standing on the edge of his ship.

"There's somewhere I need you to go. In two days' time, I need you to head north. I can give you directions, and don't worry, I won't be asking you to do this for free." Lince then pulled out a pouch and threw it over.

The captain lifted his hand and caught the pouch. When he opened it up, it was filled with a few golden coins. It wasn't money anyone could get their hands on.

Even though they weren't meant to head north, this was sure to persuade them.

"I'll tell you the same as the other guy," the captain said. "There ain't nothing north, and I'll take you as far as the sea will let me. I ain't dying for any amount of gold."

"The other guy?" Lince asked.

When looking at the crew, that's when he noticed something odd. Although the warrior guard looked fine, all of the crew on the ship were badly hurt.

They had wounds, some were bandaged up, even carrying a sling over their arm. It wasn't just that, but part of the ship in certain areas looked to be partially destroyed as well.

'Did I go on the wrong ship?' Lince thought, but then another thought crossed his mind as to what could have possibly happened.

"Wait... this person, did they ask you to go to the same place?" Lince asked.

"Aye, and I'd appreciate it if you both didn't fight aboard the ship; otherwise, the whole thing will sink even before we leave this place," the captain said.

At that moment, the door to the captain's area opened. A man wearing pagna clothing and a strange black suit underneath had come out.

Immediately, the man looked at Lince, who was onboard the ship, and the two locked eyes with each other. At the same time, they both asked the exact same question.

"Who are you?" Lince and Zon asked.
