Chapter 47 - War situation

The city was the same as usual : bright , bustling , slightly overcrowded , but one thing it was not was quiet .

That is , until a large group of people in black cloaks left for DawnLight , the city on the light side of the other planet , early morning about 70 days ago .

Right after they left , the city was shrouded in endless darkness right after the last in their group left . It wasn't a simple darkness either . It seemed to be a weird spell that could not be dispelled no matter what the tier 7 magic users tried , as even the formations were slowly being corroded .

With nothing left to do , the people in the city , or those who weren't corrupted , at least , started leaving for the other planet , thinking the source of the problem was on that planet anyways , so perhaps they could fight it out with the cultists and restore the planet .

Trouble didn't end there . After a while , those who decided to stay and see what will happen started to get corrupted even faster when they came in contact with the infernal energy .

They decided to go the other planet or back to the Magica Multiverse main base , but that wasn't possible either .

The main base sent 5 tier 7 magic users to deal with the cultists and rejected entry to anyone who didn't have the qualifications .

Apparently , after one reached tier 4 , they will have to upgrade their identity cards to a better version , which recorded what creatures you kill to make it easier to distribute contribution points during times of war .

This , was war . The cultists were slapping the faces of every magic user by starting this war . They were basically ignoring the authority of the Magica council and the MCU by making a move on a planet belonging to them .

Changing the very energy composition of a planet was basically the same as stealing it from a multiverse , just like Magica did on Earth . On Earth , however , Magica only awakened the common populace and gave them a chance by warning them of the disaster posed by the monsters . What cultists were doing was on a much larger scale , as they weren't just taking people , they were taking a whole dimension at the same time .

The second planet in Tortured Souls was basically a warzone at this point in time and the forces of the Magica Multiverse and the Satan Cult were fighting it out with each other .

The leader of the forces on that side was just a single woman , but she could be considered a weapon of war of the cultists . She was a summoner type cultivator .

Basically , every enemy she killed would turn into a zombie and serve her , with no loss in the soul level whatsoever . It was a technique she developed with her master so only 2 people had this technique which could make multiverses go at each other's throats . The reason wasn't the no loss of soul level , but the fact that the zombie's were undying and untiring .

She had an army of tier 1-4 zombies , some scattered 5s and 6s and even a stunning 2 tier 7 zombies . This meant she had killed tier 7s before which wasn't as easy as it seemed when simply saying it .

When the attendant got to this point she looked towards Sam face and gave a weird smile which Sam didn't notice as he was to busy trying to process the information and the fact that this attendant knew this much .

Apparently the tier 4 identity card also had the function of information transfer . It had an inbuilt formation which projected an illusion of a screen which displayed the latest news locally .

When asked what locally meant , the lady smiled and said in the dimension they were present in was considered locally .

Sam didn't bother asking about the card anymore , as he was gonna get one either way as they were at war right now .

The attendant's eyes shined as she continued talking of the people on this side of the war . She was like a fan talking about her idols as she talked about the 5 magic users on out side .

There was a grand arcanist , who was also an senior mage , who had developed one of the fastest meditation techniques for mages of tier 1-7 . and 2 of his disciples who had caught up to his own level when he was busy perfecting the meditation technique .

There was a grand magus , who was supposed to belong to one of the longest standing magus families which had a history of more than a 100000 years .

And in the end a magician of the Cards faction .

Sam had no idea what all this meant so he turned to scout as he sat on a bench and asked the attendant he would like to think for some time .

[ Everyone has a different system of learning magic . ]

[ The Mages , for example , are basically physicists , who look for the truth of the world through magic . There are Apprentice mages , mages , High mages , Senior mages and Archmages based on their power levels and their is a whole arcanist system based on their comprehension of the world . ]

[ The Magi are warriors that are born fighting . They use magic to support their bodies and give them an edge in their fights . The Magi are Apprentice Magi , Magi , High Magi , Grand Magi , Magus Supreme . ]

[ The magicians are of 3 factions , the Hat , the Cane and the Cards . ]

[ As you know , the magicians are tricksters and are most well known for being able to fight stronger opponents due to their tricks . Their power levels depend on their mastery levels , divided between Elementary , Intermediate , Supreme and Master magicians . ]

' Which faction do I belong to ? ' Sam asked as he massaged his temples .

[ You don't belong to any magician faction . You simply follow their mastery system , as it is the most efficient one and you use a skill to cast magic , not a casting tool . ]

[ The factions are based on which casting tool of a magician is the strongest . You use no casting tools that body your magic and your casting tool is a fingerless glove which is mostly used by physical fighters and archers . You can be considered to not belong to any faction whatsoever . ]

' Fuck . Nevermind then . ' He stood up and walked to the attendant " How can I go to the Magica main base ? I want to go to the MCU . "
