Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 460 A Dead Man Walking



Right after Shing spoke, there was silence in the room, but what had broken out of that silence was Marcus, who had gone into a laugh.

“Oh, come on now!” Marcus said. “Just because he survived a shot from Tanya doesn’t mean you should be going around and saying things like that to our guest now; you should know better.”

Shing’s finger was still pointed at Raze, and he didn’t know why, but it was quite infuriating to him. To the point where he wanted to just get up from where he was and snap it. However, Raze remained calm.

‘Well, those words confirmed it; he certainly knows something about me. The fact that he says I shouldn’t be alive, is he referring to the real me?’ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

“I’m not saying it because of that,” Shing added, and it was the first time Raze was fully hearing him speak. He wasn’t illiterate, but he himself had his mind full.

“You know my powers; I can see something hovering over this one; he has the power of death surrounding him completely,” Shing continued.

Marcus thought about it for a bit; he knew Shing wouldn’t just say this out of the blue, and it couldn’t be something strange that only mages had because Shing didn’t say the same thing about Barlan, who was in their group.

Right now, Marcus was considering just ignoring it, that was until Raze spoke up himself.

“I am interested in your power. I want to know, what is it that you can see? How does your power work? Honestly, for some time, strange things have been happening, so I hope you can help,” Raze asked in a polite and soft manner.

Now, Marcus wasn’t getting involved as this was all down to Shing, and it wasn’t really related to Alter business and seemed to be more of a personal matter.

“My ability, as we call it, or power is a mixed bag,” Shing answered. “My eyes, they can see a lot more than just the current world in front of us.

“I can see almost another world with my powers. One that overlaps with ours. This world, though it overlaps, it doesn’t change anything in our world or affect it to a large degree.

“However, when a person dies, and I can see the overlapping of the worlds, for a short period of time, I can borrow the power from those that are overlapping.”

“The way I think of it is, there is an energy that is in every living life; when the living life ends, a part of that energy is moving to a different world that we can’t see.

“Surrounding you, these energies, from this overlapping world, they are surrounding your body, around your heart.

“Your body, it almost feels like it’s not from this world.”

“That makes sense though, right?” Tanya interrupted. “Just like us and him, he isn’t from this world.”

Shing shook his head.

“You all feel the same, just as anyone from Pagna. Your bodies do not overlap with another world; your bodies are present.”

After listening to Shing talk, Raze still didn’t know why Shing saw him in this way? Was he looking at Raze’s original soul?

Was it attached to the body at hand, which was why he gave off the same feeling as those that had recently just died? How did that spell even work?

“I see,” Raze said. “Is there anything else you can see with those eyes of yours… something else.”

Raze didn’t want to elaborate because he wasn’t sure what it was, and all of these people in front of him were strangers.

He could imagine them going off and informing Alter, and then needing to be on the run for the rest of his life because of this.

As Shing stared further and activated more of his power to be in tune with this overlapping world, that’s when he could see it.

Wrapped around Raze’s neck were two extremely long arms; they were soaked red and almost covered in blood.

As Shing tried to look more, he was unable to see the face, as a heavy darkness appeared. It was scratched out, shrouded, and impossible to see.

“There is something, or someone attached to you, but based on you asking this question, it seemed you already knew about this,” Shing said.

Everyone in the room started to feel shivers run up and down their body. They didn’t know much about Shing’s powers, only seeing him do strange things when the time was needed once in a while.

Or knowing the way of where to go in a particular dungeon for some reason, but one of the reasons why they didn’t ask about his powers so much, it was simple; it was because it freaked them out.

Right now, Shing was saying that he could see something in the room, that the rest of them couldn’t. It was sending all of their senses into hyper mode.

When he made them aware, it was almost as if they could feel it as well in the room with them but could do nothing about it.

Marcus was ready to change the subject; he had found out what he needed and now needed to work on getting in contact with the relevant squad and figuring out a way to take this individual back to the Dark Faction but then it was Raze who continued the conversation.

“Shing, your powers seem great, and just then, it felt like you needed to increase your strength to see this figure, correct,” Raze asked.

Shing didn’t hesitate as he gave a nod.

“Then is it possible, is there a way to amplify your powers even more so? So you could see what this thing is that is following me, maybe find a way to talk to it?”

This might be Raze’s only chance to find out about the Bloody Woman. Was it because of his demonic energy? Was it something that connected to him when he used the Demonic Cultivation technique?

Or was it possibly something that had been with him since using the transmigration spell, and he was only made aware of it later on.

There was also another possibility, that it was something that was stuck with the original Raze for one reason or another, something that no one knew about but him.

“I can do that; over the years of using powers, I realized that there are certain items that can be used that will enhance my powers.”

“These items can be pricey though, and I warn you I can’t guarantee that there will be some type of result.”

“That’s fine; I will pay for whatever items you need, and I understand that there is no guarantee,” Raze added.

“Well, I don’t mind what you guys do, but can you keep it away from us,” Marcus said. “All this talk is making me a little frightened.”

“Shing, give a list of items that are needed to Barlan and Graft; the two of you can go around the city of Repton gathering the items. I’ll get in contact with your squad leader Himmy; there should be an easy way for us to head over to the other side.”

With that done, Raze was ready; this was his chance to find out what has been protecting him, and possibly why.
