Dark Magus Returns

The conversation had gone as well as Raze thought it could with Alba. There were some details that she had asked during his explanation.

As to whether or not she had any last words, was there a body that they could still find, and so on. What was left of her was given to Harbour, including the equipment.

Details of where she could find Harbour were also passed on as well. As for the large rucksack filled with items, materials, and power stones given by Tilon, Raze had stored them away in his Blazer.

When he had time, possibly when waiting for this whole wedding to start, he would do his best to create them a great item to use.

He still needed to keep up his part of the deal, and he was a man of his word. Still, he knew that there was some resentment there from Alba about what had been done.

“They say with time things heal, but there are some things that can just never be forgotten,” Raze said.

“Huh, was there something you wanted?” Rayna asked.

The three of them were bouncing up and down as the cart went across the bumpy road. They were currently inside a carriage belonging to a merchant.

They had already passed the tunnel from the Dark Faction back to the Demonic Faction. Apparently, the Neverfall Clan had their hands in some merchant’s pockets, allowing them to be used as transport between places.

Not just that, but then the merchants had their hands in officials and warriors that were stationed at certain areas allowing them to come through and leave as they pleased.

Not that it would have been a problem for Raze to leave the Dark Faction since he had Harbour in his back pocket, who was now in charge of one entrance.

What this did make him wonder was whether or not Alter had a method like this as well. He was still curious as to why, of all the places, was it most difficult for them to have people inside the Demonic Faction.

“Just thinking of how this whole thing will turn out,” Raze said, not even looking at Rayna.

At this point, she was feeling a little guilty over the whole situation. It was because the Dark Magus had gotten involved with her, saved her, as well as a bunch of other things that he now had to marry her.

If she had a bigger say in the Neverfall Clan, like her brothers, then maybe she could have rejected the idea of marriage, and now this young man was being forced into it.

“I was wondering, how has my brother been, is he doing okay?” Rayna asked.

This had caught Raze’s attention as he lifted his head.

“For now, I’ve lost contact with those in the Dark Faction. Your brother is strong and has been a good guide to me, though,” Raze answered. “If possible, it would be good to maybe see him after this.”

Raze needed to return to the academy; that was more of his ultimate goal, while gathering strength enough to defeat the principal. Since he was now a middle stage warrior, when he had time, he could learn possibly some more of the Dark Edge Sword Arts that he had yet to touch.

Eventually, the bumpy ride was coming to an end and they had made it to the Neverfall Clan base, or at least the outside of it where the large wall surrounded the place.

Rayna chucked the merchant some coin, and he quickly hurried back to wherever he had come from.

Anna stood there looking up at the wall.

“I have to warn you, Raze,” Anna said. “We from Alter are not meant to be in the Demonic Faction unless asked, and it’s not a place that many from the Dark Faction like to go to in the first place.

“We shouldn’t spend a lot of time here. If Himmy needs us for a task, and he can’t find us, it might cause some problems.”

It was something to make note of, and thankfully Raze didn’t expect to stay here for long.

Entering the place, Anna had next to no problems as a guest. She was just seen as a Wanderer warrior. What was surprising, though, was that she was able to deal with the heat with extremely great ease.

When going down lower and lower through the floors, Anna wasn’t struggling at all; there didn’t even appear to be sweat on her face.

“I’m sorry, but only invited guests are able to head down lower,” Rayna informed. “You can wait for us on this floor. There should be some training rooms or seclusion rooms for you to wait in.

“We’ll come find you when we’re done.”

Anna didn’t seem to have a problem as she walked across the giant chains and jumped off. Right after that, Raze and Rayna continued down to the meeting room that was placed below.

‘The heat, it’s not getting to me as much as the last time I was here. It’s because I’ve changed now, this is the feeling of being a middle stage warrior.’

Not only was it easier, but Raze could feel the sheer power of the heat coming from the bottom. It felt similar to how he was cultivating, and part of it went inwards toward him.

When they reached the bottom floor, a large black steel door was in front of them. Rayna gave it a heavy push with both of her hands.

They weren’t entering the meeting room, but were entering the cultivation room of the head of the clan. Intense heat filled the area, and a pathway led to an oval place where Belil was sitting with his back facing toward Raze.

The last time he was here, Raze was made to fight with another, and that was how all of this proposal business had occurred in the first place.

Rayna entered, and the door closed behind them. When walking forward and finally entering the circle area, she went and sat down on her knees gesturing for Raze to do the same.

“Clan Master Narfous, I have arrived with the Dark Magus! The one known as Raze and the one you have been looking for,” Rayna explained.

Belil stood up from where he was and turned around, looking at the two below. The upper part of his muscular body on show, only with a pair of trousers on his legs.

“What’s this? It hasn’t been long since we last met, but I can feel it already, you managed to become a middle stage warrior!” Belil said with a large grin.

Rayna looked at Raze with surprise. She wasn’t paying attention and was unable to tell. More so than that, she never would have imagined it.

“I am impressed!” Belil continued. “Maybe one day, you might even be able to fight against me… and also your hair, you’ve changed it, it’s black… I prefer it black, it suits you better.”

“Thank you,” Raze said, giving a small bow, not really knowing the formalities of what to say or do.

Still, Belil just found it funny as he laughed.

“Now that you are here, we can get the grand event on the way. Your wedding will happen in two days; it’s a big event so we will borrow Repton city, and not only that I will make sure that every Clan Head in the entire Demonic Faction is present!

“They must be for such a grand joyous day, unless they wish to upset me further.”

Of all things, Raze never thought that he would be involved in something that would be bringing the strongest in the Demonic Faction all to one place.

“Two days!” Belil said again. “Be ready.”
