Chapter 10. Victory And Uncertainty

As the spear multiplied into several due to Joles' magic, combined with the intense mana covering them, they hit the remaining three dark mages, and a popping sound was heard from the cave entrance, as all the heads of the mages burst

There was no one left to be interrogated from the mages that they came, as no one that was captured alive, as all were dead due to intensity of the fight, they only obtained information from the diaries,that they found from the three mages, as their bodies were still intact, as for the ones that were burnt only ashes scattered on the ground.

They came to know that the organisation was too extensive, as not only the aristocrats were involved, but also the neighboring kingdom of Zambezi.

From the diaries, there were many followers of the dark figure than one could expect, as they have been careful in their plans, but due to the carelessness and their inpatient and hastiness, to do things slowly as planned they disrupted their only chance, to accomplish what could have been a flawless plan towards their revival plan.

Serendipity played a great role in this discovery, as what seemed as a training session to the new squad, made a great discovery of the plots of the dark servants, and the neighboring Kingdom.

To Modez's squad it was a flawless victory on their side, but with the uncertainty of what they could expect more, as the battle seemed to have started, the moment they discovered the hideout of the bandits in the mountains.

As they finished their search and discovery, they went back to the chamber where the master was he sat there crosslegged meditating, as the process of breaking the magic circle drained more than just his bodily strength, it drained his mana and a little bit of his life force.

They left the master there and continued to organize theirselves, taking shifts interrogating the two bandits leaders and also the rescued captives.

As the interrogation moved on, they came to know they only captured the people whom had no attachment to the society, or had families that would be on alert, as people could not care more about them.

Also the people who had a talent in mana, as there were few but the effectiveness of the dark servants, was astonishing as to obtain people whom had no attachment to the society, and had a talent in mana was not a daring issue.

They came to know everything, and everyone in the cave, they also gave a warning to all the people who were captured, to not say a word about the other side of the captivity story, mostly about being the victims of the dark figure's servants, they all should say they had just been abducted by the bandits.

After half a day the master finally got out of the chamber all well, his face was briming with joy as he had just achieved another success in meditation, with all the mana that filled the chamber he was able to elevate his cultivation level.

Modez went to his master with a smile on his face,"it seems master has broke through huh..,"

"It has been so long since I broke through, but destroying those magical cycles has strained my body and soul, I think that's what made me feel the need to meditate till I broke through again.

As they were speaking the other were looking at them, as they finished everyone came to congratulate the master on his breakthrough.

After that the master bid his farewell to them and disappeared right Infront of them.

"Show off " Modez shouted as he was looking at his squad members to see their reaction, everyone's mouth's were agape as they didn't expect, what happened to happen just Infront of them.

They went to the desk to discuss their next move, as they wanted more battle than what they have experienced,during those previous days.

As they were speaking Modez remembered, the archer that was with them while fighting the dark mages.

"Guys where is she?," Modez asked his squad members as he hasn't seen her from the time they got back from the fight, as they were immersed in the arrangements and interrogation.

"She fell asleep on the chamber which the second in command, of the bandit leader resided," Marci replied.

"Can you bring her to us, I think we need her in the team what do you guys think?," Modez asked his squad members.

They all looked at each other with Stearn faces, as they didn't know what to say they knew she was talented, and had great battle sense.

"Okay let's vote as for those whom want her in the squad raise your hand up for now," Modez said.

They all raised their hands up to accept her into the squad, no one objected as they knew her potential, and they also needed everyone they can get, as each occupation in the squad had a great contribution.

They have a damage dealers, support, tank, surprise attacker also a reconance person but the wanted ranged attacker too so it was not bad at all.

After they all accepted, Marci went to her and found her awake caressing the bow in her hand, like something dear to her.

"Is that really your bow, or you just picked up whatever you could find?," Marci asked her.

"It is mine, as they captured me while I was hunting in the mountains," She answered.

"The leader is in need of you, may you come with me," Marci said to her.

"Okay," she said while standing from where she sat.

They entered the chamber as everyone was there waiting for her.

"Hello, welcome may you introduce yourself to us please," Modez asked her.

"My name is Dorci and am an archer, and a resident of the village just below the mountain since birth".

As she finished introducing herself to them they all looked at her, she felt the gazes on her and felt a little awkward, they all turned their eyes elsewhere as they too understood that they looked her so much.
