Dark Magus Returns

365 The strongest Mythical Item

Originally, when Raze had gotten the statue, it had become a sealed item. It was cursed, but once the seal was broken, the item would no longer be cursed.

Similar to Simyon's earring, the curse was more of a simple one. Raze just needed to get the blood of five different people.

Due to the word curse, he thought that something might happen to the five who placed their blood in the statue to unseal it.

It turned out that there was no problem at all, just the fact that it needed blood. So, when he found out the statue's effects, he was a bit disappointed.

At the time, nearly all of the students were second-stage warriors, so the strength of the statue was just a little under what Dame's strength was.

It was a good tool to have, but in the future, it would just get weaker and weaker, which was why Raze was a bit disappointed by his actions, that was until now.

'I should have known, an item that has the status of Mythical level, wouldn't just be used like that, there would be other ways to use it as well. Not that I could test the statue.'

Since the only known way of getting rid of blood markings was to kill those that had been marked.

It was quite an interesting statue the more Raze thought about it. He wouldn't want to use the blood of his strong enemies, since most of the enemies he would use, he would kill.

The dead's blood couldn't be used to power the statue then. Similarly, if he used his allies' blood, if they died in battle, then the statue would start to grow weaker as well.

Now knowing the full extent and power of the statue, it was best to use it on allies that were strong, and would continue to grow stronger and not perish any time soon.

For him, Dame fit this bill, but there was one more person's blood they could use, and that was himself.

'If I add my own blood to this, I doubt it will be able to use my magical powers. The statue looks like a warrior fighting statue in the first place.

'There also has to be a limit to how strong the statue can grow. After all, it's not an item at the legendary or god level.'

Still, even with his and Dame's added strength, Raze imagined if Ricktor managed to reach the Middle stages, wouldn't the statue be close to the peak of the Middle stages as well. It might very well be a tool that could help them in the fight above.

"I can make the statue stronger, but I just need some of your blood," Raze requested.

Dame thought about it for a while, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"You're linking my blood to the statue, right? Just how strong is this thing going to be then?" Dame asked.

He had already figured out the statue was linked to the main disciples, so it didn't take much for him to figure out what Raze was going to do.

"Not just your blood, but mine as well."

Both of them had a devilish smile as they heard those words, and they wasted next to no time doing what needed to be done. Raze placed a drop of his blood on the statue and soon after Dame did the same.

Each time the blood was dropped on the statue there was a slight glow on top of it; it didn't take much, but it was done.

On top of that, there was still one more slot for another person, but for now, Raze decided to keep it empty.

'Maybe I can get one of the Crimson Crane members to add their blood to it as well. I can already imagine what a monster will be created out of this.'

"So, who goes first?" Dame asked; he took a small gulp because he was actually a little worried. He knew this had his, Raze's, and Ricktor's power; it certainly would be stronger than him.

It had been a while since he had taken a beating or did any serious training like so.

"You go ahead, I'll activate it for you, and give it orders, for now, I'll ask it to only defend itself and not attack. Slowly, I'll allow it to do more."

Raze did as he said as he placed his magic into the statue and it grew in size. It looked the same as it did before, just like a warrior made out of stone, ready to go off into battle.

However, the Qi surrounding it, Dame could feel it instantly, that it had the Qi of a Middle stage warrior.

"Head into the Dark Space for now, where no one can see you, for now, I'm going to check on the others and see how they are doing," Raze replied.

With that, Raze and Dame went off into two entirely different directions.

When Raze reached the open lit-up area, everyone stopped what they were doing. Ricktor and Mada seemed to be training against each other.

They were exchanging movements at a slow pace, trying to get each other's timing. Now that they had energy.

Tinson and his group had carefully divided up the food, sorting it out so it would last them a long time. They were making rations.

No one wanted to be in the same situation as they were before.

And finally, Raze could see, Safa and the others sat in a circle talking to each other, or at least they were until Raze had entered.

Not knowing what to do as the room was filled in silence, Tinson gave a bow, and his two friends followed.

"We greet you, sir!" Tinson shouted, like they were welcoming a clan head.

"Hey, do we have to do that now?" Mada whispered, covering his mouth.

"Don't be absurd, he's no clan head, we are just mutual benefactors for now," Ricktor replied.

Mada didn't like having to do courtesy to his older siblings and those higher in his own clan. The last thing he wanted to do it was against someone who he saw as the enemy.

Ignoring everything, Raze had decided to head over to the three that were sitting down. Liam was looking into his eyes, trying to gauge whether Raze in a good mood right now, or was he in a bad one? He had seen both sides and it was hard for him to tell.

"You three have gotten a lot stronger. You managed to survive in here without me, I imagine you went through a lot," Raze commented.

"We did, but your items helped us out as well, and besides, we said we would help you, right? I said I would stick with you and be whatever you need me to be, so we can't just stay weak for long," Simyon stated as he punched himself on his own chest.

"Safa, I actually have something to give you and help you," Raze stated. "We might need to spend some more ti-"

Raze had suddenly stopped mid-sentence. The three looked at him, wondering if something had happened, if something went wrong.

Immediately, Raze turned his head, looking down the hallway.

"The Dark Space, the doors from above, they're opening again," Raze said.

Soon the others could hear the full sound of the mechanisms opening up. The last time it had opened up, a rush full of rabid students had come, the time before that it was one of the Clan's Heads, so why was it opening this time?

Ricktor, looking ahead, had a feeling he knew.

"It looks like they found out a lot sooner than I thought. We might get the answer to your question, Mada, whether Raze can deal with the Clan Heads or not."
