Dark Magus Returns

A single person had managed to defeat a room full of middle-stage warriors belonging to one of the top clans in the Dark Faction.

If one were to tell them that they were an initial stage warrior themselves, then no one would believe it, but those there knew that it was true.

Seeing how it was all done, Bargo and Ivor had assumed it could only be one person. Bargo heard more direct tales from his own leader about what had occurred that day with the White Dragon.

The tale that he had heard, how the person used the descending steps, it matched up with the appearance, and it was the only thing he could think of.

"I never thought magic and Pagna skills could be so strong. I know there have been some warriors in the past that have caused trouble using both." Himmy commented.

Himmy was limited to his knowledge that he had learned through Alter, and it was the same for Charlotte. To both of them, they could only assume that Raze had a mana core.

And he was using that to supplement the Qi in his body to produce Pagna skills, so just like others, they could only use Magic or Qi at once, but not both skills at the same time.

Yet Charlotte had seen magic being used at the hilt of the sword. She wasn't sure if any Qi was used or not, since she wasn't a user of Qi herself.

"It looks like you managed to recruit a mighty member to our group this time." Anna commented as she walked past. "The others might get jealous if they learn of his strength."

"Right, and if Alter learns of his strength, he might even be in charge of his own team in no time. If only he held a better position in the Pagna world."

Himmy's comment was related to many captains' positions in the world of Pagna. There were those that were skilled at completing missions from around the continent, like Himmy and Marcus.

Then there were captains of teams that held high positions in the world of Pagna. These could be leaders of merchants, mercenaries' guilds, and more.

Strength alone wasn't enough for Alter to consider one for a promotion; they had to prove their worth, and with Raze's strength, if he was in a high position, they would no doubt give him a higher position in the organization.

Little did they know he was already part of the infamous Clan the Crimson Crane, or the fiance of Raya from the Netherall Clan.

Both of these positions would have already been high enough for him if they were to be made aware of these matters.

Sheathing his sword, Raze knew there was something else that they needed to deal with and sort, and that was the mage and the Chalice.

Just then, one of the clan members that were strong rolled over.

"You guys were too late." The man said with his last breath.

All three gems on the Chalice had been lit up for a while now, and the whole thing was starting to glow.

'That Chalice, the time is activating! I'm worried what's to come because that Item looks extremely similar to the Chalice that I have, and if it can do similar to what mine is capable of, then we are all in trouble!'

Swinging his sword, Raze felt like he had no choice. He knew they wanted to save the Alter member, but if there was a chance to stop what was happening by killing the one in front of them, then it was worth it.

Swinging his sword, a Crimson slash was released from it. It flew through the air and was heading right for the young man in the chair.

As the attack got closer, the young man opened his eyes, and he was glowing bright light of faint blue. It was the same color as the Chalice.

The attack was stopped and completely disintegrated in front of him, and the Chalice was lifted into the air as it started to vibrate.

The whole of the young mage's body started to shake more and more, and his body was lighting up.

'This is too dangerous, a large amount of magic is being filled into this room!'

In order to protect himself, Raze switched from his uniform to the trusted Blazer that gave him at least some level of protection.

Right then, the glow exploded from the man. A bright white light encased the whole room. The wave of power had hit the others like Ivor and Bargo first.

They were swept off their feet and flew into the walls of the room.

The same happened with the others including Anna, Himmy, and Charlotte. The blue energy had hit them all, and although not powerful when the light started to fade, every single one of them was passed out on the spot, lying there on the floor.

Now in the center of the room, the young man, with parted black hair and green-colored eyes, was standing.

The wounds that were on his body from being tied up, and possibly tortured, all seemed to disappear, and the radiant energy that was coming off him was still shining bright.

Slowly the energy surrounding his body started to fade away more and more.

"I have descended, it seems like I was forced to descend, and I'm not even in a body of my own," The man spoke. "At least they have forced me into the body of a young one.

"And my powers, it seems like they are slowly coming into this new body. Will I be able to have the same type of power as I have up there?"

The man in the center looked around the room. He could see the bodies of the dead all over. What they had done to get him to where he was.

While looking around the entire place, the man's gaze set on a single individual that was on the ground. The individual was slowly lifting up his upper body, seemingly in pain.

"You're still awake?" The man said. "A large amount of my power was unleashed when I descended. The power is too much for mere mortals to take, so how were you able to take it?"

The man was walking, and he was walking towards none other than Raze himself.

Raze on the ground was staring at the being in front of him. Surrounding his body, it no longer felt like mana; this more so felt like Qi.

If Raze's guess was right, his worst fears had just come true, and the Lethal Bite Clan had successfully managed to summon a Divine being.

In this situation, what was Raze meant to do? He couldn't imagine himself beating the top of the middle stage warriors, never mind a Divine being.

'There might be a chance though, he was speaking about not being at full power yet… is it possible could I best him?'

"What was it that protected you from the Divine Qi?" The man continued as he walked forward and then stopped looking straight ahead.

"Oh now I see, it wasn't your own Qi that protected you. That blooded woman, did she escape down to here as well after losing that fight?"
