Dark Magus Returns



Froma was in the middle of a crying fit in the meeting hall, and none of the Crimson Crane members were able to get much out of her about what she meant. They had even analyzed the other equipment that had been brought, but nothing happened when they held it.

In the end, Froma wiped away her tears and was able to speak again, but she still was in no mood to discuss what had happened with the others.

'It's okay,' Froma said to herself. 'There was a note left on the table, so I know what's happening, but it still feels weird. That strange Dark Magus, why didn't he put the note on top of the cloth?'

Froma thought back and had to admit it might have been her fault. After taking off the cloth, revealing the weapon, she had completely ignored the note on the table and went straight to grab the bow.

Now she was stuck with the bow, similar to how Tilon was stuck with the shield. The rest of the group was waiting until finally, Raze pushed open the double doors.

"It seems like everyone is here. Thank you for coming on this journey with me," Raze said as he pulled out a piece of chalk and started drawing on the floor. He was drawing a magic circle, a large one that would encase them all.

It was similar to what he had done during the Martial Arts Tournament, but that had taken a lot of energy and magic. To avoid completely wearing himself out, Raze was drawing the magic circle this time.

'I see, Zon hasn't come on this one. It's expected of him,' Anna thought. 'He always went off on solo missions by himself. The only time he went along with us was when he had to.'

'But I can't believe what he told me, his goal... it's not to head back? I guess he still hasn't talked to Raze about it,' Anna thought.

As Raze was drawing the magic circle, he decided it was time to explain to everyone how things were going to be, because it wasn't as straightforward as last time.

"When we were in Flendon, I transported you all from one position to another. So I drew two magic circles, but the magic circle in Flendon is no longer there," Raze said. "Unfortunately, I haven't been back to Flendon since, so I haven't figured out how to pinpoint coordinates there, nor have I set up another magic circle there," Raze explained.

"I'm guessing you're telling us this because it means you'll be sending us somewhere else?" Ricktor asked.

"Correct. There is one place I used to travel to frequently, where I know the coordinates: a cave just outside the city of Repton," Raze answered.

"That's still quite far from Flendon," Rayna said. "We might not reach Flendon in time before the Behemoth Clan gets there."

"Be realistic," Mantis added. "The city of Flendon is already under attack. We're going to be the cleanup crew."

Rayna's fists were shaking, and Raze knew why from their previous talk. She was unlike other Pagna warriors and actually cared about the lives of the regular citizens.

"Should I stop by the Clan base?" Dame asked. "It's on the way; I could ask Father for help."

"Father won't do anything," Rayna snapped. "I was given away and am no longer part of the clan, and you abandoned it. If we step foot back there and ask for help, how do you think he'd react?"

The two of them stopped after that suggestion.

"We won't know the state of Flendon until we get there. There should be no other thoughts in one's head," Raze said. "The reason I'm telling you this is to not waste any time. Some of us in this group are faster than others."

"When you get to the Demonic Faction, I want you to head to Flendon as quickly as possible." The others nodded, and Raze finished drawing the circle.

"You guys will go first, and then I'll need to draw another circle after. I'll be right behind

you."

With that said, Raze gathered the magic in the palm of his hands and placed them on the floor. The magic circle began to light up, and a bright light surrounded everyone and everything inside it.

The light grew larger and larger until it consumed them, and when the flash of light disappeared, so did the rest of the group.

Standing up, Raze took a blue Qi pill. It wasn't the cursed pill; the regular Qi pill would be enough to restore his mana so he could fight before taking a cursed Qi pill.

'I used a lot of mana sending them off, but I think it's better having them there rather than just myself,' Raze thought.

Taking the chalk, he started to draw his own circle on the raised platform he was on. At the same time, he was cultivating, trying to do what Safa was able to do to get his energy back.

He was focused, trying to enter a flow-like state where he could draw and cultivate at the same time. Then his concentration was broken.

"I expected there to be more people here," a voice said. "I guess the new Dark Faction leader doesn't need people around him."

The voice wasn't one Raze recognized. He had just finished drawing the magic circle as well. If he wanted to, he could activate the circle now, sending him to where the others were.

Instead, Raze decided to lift his head, and the moment he did, his eyes widened, and he clenched his teeth hard as he stood upright.

"Ah, it seems you recognize what I have in my hand right here," the stranger said as he moved his right hand, holding the round object steady. "You know what this is, right?"

The object being held by the stranger's hand was being held by its hair. The round object could be seen clearly, and Raze's heart was thumping even louder.

"Poor Himmy," the man said, shaking his head.
