Chapter 356 Are we ready?
The assessment was most likely in its last week, or perhaps it would even end earlier than that, but all of these thoughts were what were worrying him slightly.
He had given Dame the warning that things could take around a week or so, because he knew he needed to go to Alterian for the meeting. He just never imagined the whole affair would take even longer.
After that, things just continued to pile up one after the other, but now he was ready, and in order for him to return, he would have to open a portal and travel back through the dimension he had done before. Where he opened a portal from on his end didn\'t really matter; it would put him in a random place in the other dimension, but what he had kept note of was where to open the portal once he was in the other dimension.
This was all so he could go back to the same place in the Pagna Academy, back to the underground facility.
He needed to be careful; otherwise, he could very well teleport in a completely different place altogether.
He even wondered if he did it a little too far out what would happen, would he appear stuck underground in the world of Pagna, or would he just pop up above where the place would have been?
\'I guess the portals need a place to construct themselves, so if an area is too dense, it just wouldn\'t form. Then the location gets pushed up. This is probably why there haven\'t been any cases of things like that happening or reports of that.\'
The thing was, Raze didn\'t know what to believe anymore. Because of the Grand Magus, he was sure there were several reports that would be hidden or kept from the public eye. Information that wouldn\'t be shared with the whole world.
This was also one of the worrying factors because last time Raze had visited the Dimension he needed to pass through, he had killed some mages on his way.
What the mages were there for, Raze never really found out, but killing them, he was sure that things would be a bigger mess now. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
There was only one way to find out, and Raze had teleported through. He was back in the world of Darkness, and not much had changed.
There was still that strange mystic blue sky that appeared to be taking parts of the top of the world into it, almost like a black hole had appeared above.
He was somewhere in the ruined city and could see the large wall at the other end, and most importantly, he could still see other mages, with the white robes and the marking of a golden \'I\' on top of their heads.
Quickly, Raze jumped from his position using the Qi in his body. He leapt several feet with his strength alone, which he would have thought was impossible before.
He landed on top of a building, using his wind magic just at the very end to silence his steps. The second-floor roof had been destroyed, and three of the sides were left standing, while one looked to have been diagonally cut allowing him to see more of the outside.
\'There are even more mages than before.\'
Raze could see them almost systematically searching every area and room. They were heading in and then filing in reports.
\'I guess they upped the security after I came. I can sense that there are quite some powerful ones among them this time. Maybe ones that are too hard for me to handle.\'
Thinking about the situation for now, Raze was going to wait until the area was clear and then move from one building to the next to get to the other side.
"If I see any mages, I can use the extraction technique on them to increase my magic attributes as well,\' Raze thought to himself.
\'Right now, if I head back to the academy, I need to know the strength I have on my side, and whether it\'s enough,\' Raze started to think, listing the allies that were willing to fight with him.
There was Dame, an initial stage warrior that was at his peak, but with the special gauntlets handed to him, Raze knew he was able to beat those at the middle stage.
Then there was Safa along with the other two. Although they might not be strong enough to take on a main disciple head-on, they could at least help him take out some of the other teachers if they were involved in stopping them.
Then Raze had to think of his enemies as well, the five main clans and the principal.
On his side, he had the Crimson Crane, who were eight strong middle stage warriors, and if he wanted to, he now might be able to get Rayna to help as well.
He imagined her strength was either greater than the Crimson Crane but had to be weaker than the Elder that they had gone against.
\'The issue is, this needs to be dealt with in the academy. With all the allies I have, we might be able to pull something off, but if all the members from the other clans get involved, we don\'t have enough people, even if we get the Red Headband students on our side.\'
At that moment, in the middle of his thoughts, Raze could hear someone coming up the stairs. He quickly leapt up, jumping high in the air.
When the mage reached the top of the stairs, Raze had landed on top of them. He pulled out his sword, stabbing through their shoulder and holding his hand over their mouth.
Right after, he placed his hand at the back of their head, and he started to use the extraction technique, absorbing their power away.
\'I can\'t rely on the others to do the things that I need for me. In the end, the only one I can control what happens to, is myself, so I must get stronger myself. Just wait a tiny bit longer, guys… I need to make sure, if people are fighting for me, that I don\'t lose them, not like last time,\' Raze thought to himself.
