Chapter 804: The Scent Of Blood


    ?


    The kingdoms and empires only hired Pagna warriors to help with certain issues that arose, but there had always been an agreement to keep matters separate between them.


    To keep regr people out of the world of Pagna warriors. This, in a way, gave freedom to both tiers of citizens.


    Those who epted themselves as Pagna warriors could face each other and follow the rules of the warrior. Being a warrior meant understanding the risks, and those not wishing to get involved could stay separate.


    It wasn''t as if regr people didn''t have things to worry about, and kingdoms, empires, and such continued to fight against each other anyway.


    One aspect that the kingdoms were building on was knights. Knights who wore specially crafted armor on their bodies, designed to be imprable to a sword.


    In many ways, some thought it might be a secret weapon against the Pagna warriors if a fight ever did break out between the two groups.


    However, they had witnessed Raze, with his bare hands, tear through the armor with ease. His condensed Qi allowed him to focus on breaking it, and then he held back his strength before hitting the knight in the stomach, causing him to fall to the floor.


    Because if he hadn''t held back, his entire arm would have ripped through the knight.


    "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge me?" Raze said. "I will continue to fight, day and night, until every single person here epts me."


    These were the words of someone who truly believed they were much stronger than everyone there.


    If one were to fight several people, they would usually tire, as would their Qi, but Raze was willing to go up against all the n Heads present if he had to.


    With just those two fights, though, he had convinced the merchants, he had convinced the kingdoms.


    Even the ns, although they thought they might be able to take on Raze, the Dark Magus, or the one known as the White Dragon, had epted him because of the people behind him-all but one n.


    "I''ll challenge you," a female voice said.


    The group of people turned to see who had spoken up, and of all people, it was Samantha Wisheart, the leader of the Tulip n, one of the five major ns in the Dark Faction.


    She walked forward in a blue icy dress with a split down her long, slender legs. She held a fan to her face as she continued down, eventually stepping out onto the floor.


    "In the past, all five of the ns epted Murkel because he bested us all on his own. Even together, we couldn''t defeat him.


    "We needed someone like him to lead the Dark Faction. If anyone weaker than him takes the helm, the Dark Faction will fall."


    Gavin Rocksbored from the MoonShield n had fallen at the Martial Arts Tournament. Feebie Dines from the Lethal Bite n had fallen due to Raze and the Crimson Crane.


    Crine Runn, leader of the Flowing Force n, had also fallen at the Martial Arts Tournament. And Murkel was nowhere to be seen, with the strongest in the Erupting Fist n perishing. There was only one n left of the major five, and its leader, Samantha, was still present.


    There was an interesting tale well-known in the Tulip n, of how three women had conquered it, getting rid of all the men in the n.


    With their power alone, they had taken out the n Heads and be one of the major forces in the Dark Faction.


    It was the one n present that looked to have no one injured, and that was on Amir''s orders. Looking to her right, Safa turned to Amir.


    "Why didn''t you let us go after the Tulip n? It was the only n you told us to stay away from.


    "At the Martial Arts Tournament, Lin and Lulu were defeated, and they were part of the trio that took over the Tulip n in the past."


    Amir looked at Samantha for a moment, then finally decided to give an answer.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "I thought she would be more useful," Amir said. "Originally, with all the nsplying, I thought we wouldn''t have this situation on our hands."


    "If anything, because Murkel forced himself into the position he was in, I believed they might even be epting of Raze taking his ce."


    "I understand it''s hard for anyone to ept a student, though. However, I would have liked when Raze took over the Dark Faction, that there would still be some tools to use.


    "In the fights so far, Raze has been able to control his strength to defeat his opponents, but against another main member of the Dark Faction, I don''t think that''s possible."


    "Aren''t you underestimating him?" Dame said. "Raze already took out Murkel, who had bested all of these. He would be able to take out most of the n Heads if he were to go up against them on his own."


    "It''s no doubt that he is the strongest among all of us here. Well, there might be one." Dame was looking at Zon when he said those words. Zon''s limits hadn''t been tested, and the way he defeated his opponents was more convincing than Raze''s.


    "You might be right about that, but remember, Raze only beat Murkel because of the special Chalice artifact he used."


    "It was the Divine being that took over his body, which in the end was able to best Murkel." "Even Raze''s strongest moves in magic weren''t able to defeat him," Amir answered. "Besides, there''s another thing you''re forgetting. Lulu and Lin, who Murkel brought with him, were considered to have the strength of n Heads.


    "Yes, it''s true that the three of them took over the Tulip n, but did you ever wonder why Samantha was selected as the leader and not them?"


    At that moment, as Raze stared, looking at Samantha, a scent had wafted into his nose, a smell he was familiar with, a strong sense of iron, and that''s when a voice had entered his mind along with it.


    ''I can smell the scent of blood on her... let me... take over and deal with her for you... you can rest.'' A familiar voice in his mind spoke.
