Chapter 141: Contact with the Dark Moon 4

“What did you say? He is the disciple of Saymon?”

A week later, Meister Johas of the Dark Moon Magic Tower, met with the seventh disciple Rob, who had disappeared from the Volga Republic’s army.

When the Meister greeted the disciple who had returned safely from the war, he heard an unexpected story.

Luke, a descendant of the warrior Rakan, was the shadow/disciple of the Black Sage, Saymon.

There were already rumors that the Rakan’s descendant had learned the dark magic by the Dark Elves, and through the new piece of information, the rumors had been confirmed.

But to possess the dark magic Yujin of Saymon?!

“What crazy nonsense are you spewing! Were you brainwashed by any chance?”

“NO, that isn’t possible, teacher.”

Rob spoke about the visionary magic that he had witnessed, the battle golem he saw, and the demons who work on Luke’s orders.

“How can an ordinary warlock take over a demon? And Luke’s zeitgeist said that though he was the descendant of Rakan, he fully understood the feelings of Saymon.”

“Oh my! All these…!” Spoke Johas in disbelief.

Johas was under the impression that maybe his disciple wanted to play with him.

But when he saw how confident Rob was speaking about the man, he realized that it wasn’t a joke.

He was under the impression that the disciple had been brainwashed, however, the body showed no signs of brainwashing.

‘Then, I guess it is true…’ Thought Johas.

“Sir Luke’s zeitgeist stated that he would want to meet with the Meister and discuss the matter with the Dark Moon. So he asked the Meister to come to find him.” Stated Rob.

“He wanted me, the Meister to come to meet him?” Asked Johas in disbelief.

“Yes. In terms of the position, the one who possesses the Yujin of Saymon has a higher status, I can understand that you don’t want to accept it. But think about the future of our Magic Tower.”

“Okay… fine. I’ll think about it, so head back to your room and rest.”

Johas responded bitterly.

If it was someone else, he wouldn’t have felt the need, but as Rob himself tried very hard to persuade him, he was having a change of heart.

‘It was definite that I had to meet him, anyway.’ Thought Johas.

Leaving the other factors aside, it was certain that the warrior descendant was in possession of Saymon’s Yujin.

Whether he decided to meet him or kill him, or if it was an elaborate plan of his, Johas would have to meet him first.

‘Furthermore, it may be that he had obtained the Yujin of Saymon, which was left behind. Then maybe we can share the difficult situation that we are facing now.’

A while back, they were under attack by the Lich, Arsene, who caused tremendous damage to the Dark Moon.

Many good elders had been killed, and the other warlocks and mercenaries were killed too. In addition, the main facilities of the Magic Tower were completely destroyed.

As a result, the development of a hero-class Gigant which had been ordered by the President did make any major signs of progress.

Determining that the one in possession of Saymon’s Yujin, could contribute to the situation, Johas decided to meet Luke.

The next morning.

Johas along with his attendant departed for Torlot Fortress, where Luke was staying.

“I never thought that you would make a decision so quickly.” Said Rob.

“Why delay the situation when the heart knows what needs to be done.”

In order to get Saymon’s Yujin as quickly as possible, Johas went right away.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, they were able to reach the riverside from where the Torlot Fortress was visible.

“I will go and inform that the teacher has arrived.”

“Oh sure, but be careful”. Said Johas.

It was a hard task to get into the Fortress of the enemy, and Luke should be welcoming them in front of the other people in the Fortress.

Rob too understood that he crossed over the river, infiltrated the Fortress and met Luke.

“Meister has arrived?” Asked Luke.

“Yes, he is waiting across the river. Tell us where you want to meet and we’ll be there…”

“No, there is no need for those formalities. I will meet him right away.” Stated Luke.

Luke sneaked out of the Fortress and crossed the river along with Philip and Erwin. And met Johas who was waiting for the return of Rob.

“You must be Luke de Rakan?” Johas asked, seeing the young man.

“Yes. You are Johas, the Meister of Dark Moon, I presume.”

It wasn’t shown, Luke was astonished as he saw Johas.

It wasn’t because of the 8 circle black circles, but it was because he was looking a bit similar to Meister Jerid, who was the Darkness Magic Tower Meister, who followed Saymon in the past.

In the same way, Johas was feeling the same level of astonishment that Luke felt.

‘Isn’t that the genius female wizard Erwin? But, why is she with him?’ Thought Johas.

It was informed that she had left to the south of the continent under the teacher’s orders, Erenes, but he didn’t know why.
