Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1007: 10 Times More Powerful



After debating the situation for a while, the group had come to a decision that the man known as Mosak had told the truth, that he truly let them go ahead. Although they were suspicious, the fear that maybe someone else would get to the Golden Globe before them had pushed the group forward.

The main fear being pushed by Zon who had already started to walk ahead and the rest somewhat followed.

The group went on ahead, traveling through the dark yellow area of the jungle. The terrain was starting to change, as the large trees were becoming fewer and the area they were walking in was becoming more open.

"Can I ask a question?" Beatrix asked, and instantly Ricar turned, scowling at her, almost wondering why she would even speak.

She knew this would be the case. Ricar was the elder of the Clan, he had authority over her in the clan, and had been there longer. Although the two of them carried the same rank, there was still a level of authority between them.

"Our agreement didn't include questions between us?" Lince joked. "But feel free to go ahead."

"The Golden Globe, this item that Alter is after, what is its use-or let me ask, what is your use for it?" Beatrix asked.

A question that had been bugging her for a long time. In her mind, Ricar had been blinded by trying to revive the clan to the position that they were before, and by it, he was blinded to what the Aurora Clan and Illumination Clan were doing with Alter.

If anything, Beatrix was annoyed that they were being led by the Alter Clan and wanted answers herself.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What I'm going to do with the item? Maybe throw it in the sea so no one can get their hands on it," Lince said.

Judging by Lince's answer so far, Beatrix had no clue if he was lying or not. So she decided to maybe talk to the other individual who was far more straightforward.

"To go this far for an item just to chuck it away makes no sense. Do you follow the same view as your friend?" Beatrix asked. "It seems that you two aren't from the same Faction... your powers don't seem like a warrior's either."

"I can tell your reason for asking these questions," Zon replied. "Your intentions are to find out the use of the item. For me, it's very foolish to blindly follow orders and not know the

cause.

"I will not use the item to have an effect on Pagna, but I wish to use it myself. However, I won't do so until I finish my business that needs to be dealt with here."

Beatrix didn't say anything else, because the answers were so vague they didn't really make any sense to her, and she felt like asking further wouldn't lead to anything else. They had said what they wished to say-one speaking sarcastically and one speaking in riddles.

As they moved closer, Beatrix noticed something else. The ground beneath her feet was vibrating slightly. It wasn't strong, and it didn't feel like the normal energy that came from someone using an attack of Qi or some sort.

Since it was just a small rumble, they all figured it was something to do with the island and continued, but the rumbling of the floor could still be felt.

"There's no volcanic activity up ahead, and the island itself is not vibrating off in the distance. It appears that only our area is being affected," Zon explained.

They hadn't mentioned it, but Zon's words had just made them all worry even more than they did before.

"Do you know what's causing it?" Ricar asked. He was still thinking back to why Mosak had let them go through. Although the Light Faction was honest, they had their ways of getting around the truth, which was what worried him slightly.

When Zon stopped dead in the jungle, the others stopped as well.

"The terrain-it seems to have changed," Zon answered.

"What do you mean?" Beatrix asked.

"The land around us, the trees, and everything else. This whole island's landscape has been weird, with plants and the ground giving off the same heat signature as the beasts we've come across," Zon explained.

"Wait... wait, the land is changing?" Lince said. "And the plants are giving off the same heat signature as beasts. Has it been the whole island or just this new area?"

"Just this new area," Zon answered.

Collectively, the other three wanted to slap their heads at the same time. Zon was the one able to gather the most information. He was straightforward and seemed to know what he was doing-or so they thought-but he wasn't reliable when it came to putting information together to draw conclusions.

Now, all of them started to notice the trees and the flooring seemed to be moving. Large giant mounds were forming, and the movement was picking up speed. Along with it, the vibrations on the floor were growing more violent.

As they looked up ahead, just shy of the large mountain that was in front of them, they could see another large mound rising up in the sky. Dirt and leaves were falling from the mound, and a clearer picture of something else was forming high above the island.

Three separate, long, large serpent heads had emerged, with several yellow, golden piercing eyes staring down at the ground. As for the rest of the area that had been moving along their side, it was the legless limbs of the large giant creature they were now looking at.

On top of the limbs, on its body, and even on its neck, several of the trees they had been seeing in the jungle were attached to the top of its skin. They didn't appear to just lay on top of the body, but to be part of the beast's body.

"This creature... looks around ten times stronger than that monkey," Lince commented, and The feared he was right.
