Dark Magus Returns

There was one thing that Raze was certain of: the person in front of him right now was not the mage from the Alter group.

If anything, he would be surprised if the one in front of him knew any magic at all. The ultimate question was rolling in his head: was this a Divine being in front of him?

‘It’s quite clear the body has been taken over by someone, and that someone seems to know the blooded woman is attached to me by its words.

‘How does it know the blooded woman? Are these two from the same place? Is the blooded woman actually someone from the Divine Realm as well, then?’ Raze started to think.

“Haha, it seems you don’t know much, and yet someone has tried to attach to you and has failed,” the man continued to laugh.

Everyone in the room was still passed out by the strange power that had entered. So the only ones aware of the conversation that was happening right now were Raze and the person in front of him.

“I can’t help but feel sorry for you. As you can see here where I am currently, I have complete control, although my full power isn’t here yet. I wonder though, what exactly happened in this room, and why I have been summoned,” the man casually looked around the room.

Right now, Raze felt like he had to be careful. One wrong word, saying something to upset this person and he could lose his life, and for real this time. There would be no second chance like he had experienced.

“Are you planning to take my life?” Raze said, not a shiver in his voice. Although he wanted to live now, he had expected long ago that at any point and time there was a chance that he could pass.

“We have successfully summoned you here, completed the task for you. Don’t you think as a reward letting us go free might be acceptable?”

It was a clear lie; Raze wasn’t the one who summoned him, but how would the person in front of him know any better? Since he was the only one that could speak, he could say whatever it was that he wished.

“You are right, I do owe you for bringing me into this realm without much trouble. It’s been a very, very long time since I have visited the world of Pagna, I would like to explore and see what has changed,” the man said as he walked past Raze, saying nothing else.

The tense situation that Raze was in seemed to be over. For a moment, he thought about maybe using his own chalice to summon a Divine Warrior to try and help him, but just because one was summoned didn’t mean they would listen to you.

That’s when the sound of the footsteps had stopped, and the man turned around.

“I think we might be meeting again in the future, so I believe I should give you my name. It’s Mosak, and may you be kind enough to give me the name of my savior,” Mosak asked.

Raze wasn’t so sure if he should give him his real name or something else. At this point and time, he had decided to somewhat not lie as he gave his answer.

“People know me as the White Dragon,” Raze answered.

Almost immediately, Mosak’s face turned red.

“I can’t believe you were able to say those words with a straight face, but very well, White Dragon, I look forward to meeting you again, that is if you’re still alive,” Mosak continued to walk and left the room. As he did, the dense heavy feeling that covered the entire area was being lifted. The energy wasn’t like anything he felt before.

It wasn’t like Mana, it wasn’t like Qi. It was so suppressing that Raze thought he would be in the same state as others if he wasn’t being protected.

‘Was it really the bloody woman that was protecting me, or is it that Blazer that I wore?’

Seeing the situation as it was, Raze changed back to his Lethal Bite Clan uniform, but he kept the ghost blade by his side this time.

Eventually, since the person had left the room, everyone’s eyes who were still alive started to open. They could feel a great pain in their heads as they slowly got up to their feet.

“What happened?” Himmy asked. “Where is… where is he?”

Himmy was looking at the empty chair. He thought Raze might have killed him, but then surely there should have been a body yet there was nothing.

“We were unsuccessful in stopping them,” Raze answered. “It seems whatever it was that they were planning it managed to work. The person from Alter, now is someone else completely.”

There were only a few words but Himmy and Charlotte were able to decipher what was being said, but the same couldn’t be said for Bargo and Ivor who were getting up as well.

“What were they trying to do with that person? What was it that they were successful about?” Ivor asked. “You guys should tell me at least; it’s my clan that is involved in this.”

Seeing Ivor’s hot temper, Bargo pulled him away.

“I don’t think it’s best you speak like that now,” Bargo said. “We are not in the position to say such things, and our lives could very well be in their hands.”

Himmy knew what the normal thing to do in this situation was; it was to get rid of those who had seen them act and use magic. It was clear now that Raze and Anna weren’t part of the Lethal Bite Clan.

“I have something else to inform you on as well,” Raze stated. “I’ll be honest, I’m not sure if this matter is related to the deaths that were occurring or not. Or at least not directly related.

“I believe that the Lethal Bite Clan must have found some use of those from Alter and got rid of them all, leaving one of them alive to pull them into this situation.

“It might be pure coincidence that they were investigating something in this city when all of it occurred to them.”

“You’re right about that,” Himmy replied, with his finger on his chin. “So what you’re saying is, there is still more that needs to be done, we need to find more information, more evidence to build a larger case profile.”

“Right, but if what has occurred really has occurred I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to poke the Lethal Bite Clan,” Anna mentioned. “A person of great strength would be able to eliminate all of us.”

“I’m not too sure if that person will help the Lethal Bite Clan,” Raze replied. “From the way they were speaking, it didn’t seem to be the case.”

“Yes, but you can’t say for certain, right?” Anna replied, looking directly at Raze. “You can’t say with a hundred percent certainty that person won’t help them.”

It almost seemed as if Anna was still hinting at something.

‘Could she be trying to… no, that can’t be right.’

Either way, Raze decided to say what was on his mind anyway.

“I guess since we are unsure, maybe there is still a use for these two, as they are members of the Lethal Bite Clan.”

Right now, Himmy knew what Raze was suggesting but was wondering what was on his mind, because there was a certain look in Raze’s eyes.

‘The Lethal Bite Clan has been a pain for a long time. Their clan head and even now they have put me in situations where I have been close to death. It’s time to get rid of them permanently, delivering a big blow to the Dark Faction,’ Raze thought.
