Dark Magus Returns

Raze had no idea where he was to go next to advance his strength further than before, but he was clear about one thing in his mind.

If there was one person that he didn’t want to meet at the moment, it was Alba, the leader of the Crimson Crane. Out of all the people that he could have run into, he wondered why she was here right now, in front of him.

So much so, that when he said her name, he was stunned, and his eyes hadn’t even noticed that Rayna was standing right by her side as well.

“I knew it, I was right!” Alba said with a smile on her face. “It is you, you look quite different compared to last time, you seem to have matured, or maybe it’s just the dark hair, and what’s up with the hair anyway? I kind of liked your white hair.”

Alba had her hand on her chin as she looked at Raze up and down, making sure not to get too close, respecting his discomfort of being close to others.

As usual, she had this cheery, laid-back nature to her. If anything, Alba was perhaps the only person Raze had met that he lowered his defenses around.

Even to the point where he was willing to shake her hand. That was why he didn’t want to meet her.

Raze had already made up his mind, after killing Elvlin, that he would inform Alba if he ever ran into her. As Elvlin said, Alba treated her clan like family.

It was why they never chose to expand the clan larger than its current members. Everyone they invited was strong and someone that they trusted to bring into their close members.

He was sure that if she found out what happened to Elvlin, Alba would do whatever she could to find out what had happened to her.

Raze, having been in the same place before, knew how much of a torture that would be on one’s mind. Which was why he intended to tell her the truth of what happened.

What would occur after that, he would have to deal with, but he had already made up the resolve to do this in his mind.

What he didn’t expect was to see her right now, before even stepping foot outside of the Lethal Bite Clan.

“How did you know where we were?” Anna asked.

The two women and Tilon were a bit surprised to see the person talking to them. They didn’t even know they were with Raze because they hadn’t seen many people around the Dark Magus, and were unsure who this person was.

Not only that, but usually before asking a question, a person would introduce themselves, yet Anna hadn’t done anything of the sort.

“Ah, it’s nice to meet you, we are…”

“I know who you are,” Anna interrupted Alba before she could finish speaking. “You are Alba from the Crimson Crane, the leader of a popular wanderer clan, and as for you, you are the daughter of Belil Narfous, the head of the Neverfall Clan.”

Immediately, Rayna looked around to see if anyone had overheard; luckily, no one was paying them attention. There weren’t many who would know what she looked like, but would know of her name, so she was quite taken aback by it all.

However, part of Alter members’ training was to remember key figures in the world of Pagna and how they affected things.

Back at the Alter base, there were files on certain individuals, descriptions of what they looked like, and in some cases, even photos and data on each individual.

Anna could never forget a face, so she knew who these two were in an instant.

“Don’t worry about them too much,” Raze said. “These are people I know; they haven’t just approached us out of the blue. However, I would like to know as well, how did you know we were here?”

A little worry crept into Raze’s mind; if they could find them, then others who were after them could find them as well.

Maybe he hadn’t cleared his tracks as much as he thought he had.

“Actually, it was luck,” Alba replied. “Rayna came to me because she had a request and she wanted to find you… Ra… Raze.”

Alba had quickly corrected herself because she was unsure what name the Dark Magus was currently using and who knew about his other identity.

Judging by the quick shake of the head Raze had done when she had said Ra, she had quickly changed the use of the name.

“I got in contact with all of the Crimson Crane members to see if they had heard or seen anything. No one had a clue, but I was a little worried because Elvlin didn’t reply, and the last known location she was at was here.”

“While trying to find out about her, we ran into you. It seems to be our lucky day.” Alba smiled.

The happy smile she had on her face was stabbing Raze slightly in the heart even more. Because he was about to ruin her happy expression.

‘It was just as I thought. She is worried about Elvlin, at least a little, but I doubt she ever believed that Elvlin would be killed.’

For a moment, Raze stayed silent as he took in everything she had said. He was thinking in his mind if he should still go through with his original plan.

He didn’t have to do it here, and right now. What if he were to do it at another time?

Not just that, if Alba attacked him, could he best her right now? Maybe with the help of Anna, it would be certain victory.

‘Since when have I been worried about the consequences.’ Raze smiled to himself and tensed his fist. ‘I already decided, this woman deserves to know the truth. That’s the least she deserves for helping me out.’

“Okay, okay,” Anna stated. “I see that you have met him, but then why are you here right now, what is your reason for wanting to meet Raze? Why would someone from the Demonic Faction be here to meet someone who is from the Dark Faction.”

“Anna!” Raze called out in a heavy tone; it was a warning to her. “We agreed.”

Raze was referring to the conversation that they had not too long ago. How his affairs and Alter affairs wouldn’t collide.

If she wanted to stay with him, she needed to stay out of his business unless it involved Zon.

“I’m sorry, I am just a bit worried, I can sense her pulse rising,” Anna commented, while looking at Rayna.

Still, Raze wasn’t worried about Rayna; instead, he looked directly at Alba. He reassured himself as he was ready to speak.

“Alba…” Raze called out. “I have something important that I need to tell you about, and I promise everything I’m about to say is the truth of the matter, but it’s fine if you don’t believe me.”

Alba’s ears started to perk up as she could see Raze’s serious expression on his face.

“Raze!” Rayna immediately shouted, interrupting him. “I have something important to tell you. We need to get married, now!”
