Dark Magus Returns

When Raze had broken through using the special item, his magical power had spread far and wide throughout Pagna. It continued to move out in all directions across the land.

It was a small amount, and maybe there would have been those mages that wouldn't have even noticed it, thinking it was their own, apart from one individual that was currently out.

"That power." Enaxx said with a smile. "That can only be one person, I had my doubts, but does that mean he really is here. If he is, isn't that in the direction of the Alter base? They might be in for a bit of a shock, if I don't go and do something."

——

Back at the Alter base, there was only a handful of Alter agents that had managed to survive, and the majority of them were on the outside.

Those that were still in the Alter base, weren't particular fighters and they had next to no artifacts to protect them. Fallen roofs, and the crumbling of the buildings had toppled on them.

Some of them had even been smitten by the power of the great Ice sword that was still stuck in the ground like a giant arrow that had struck a heart.

Everyone was looking at the devastation, and everyone felt like this was the fall, and end of Alter as a whole.

"He did all of this?" Cicle said. "Are we even able to beat this guy, with the weapons we have?"

"What about your sword." Impress asked. "I thought your weapon could copy all techniques including the power that they held. Can't you copy this and attack him back with the same power."

Cicle immediately shook his head.

"I can tell, although the sword can copy everything with a sword technique, including the energy that's used. Magic as well as the Dark Magus had used, throwing that giant sword through the air, that was no sword technique, the power behind that was pure magic.

"This is not something that I can copy."

If that was the case, Cicle didn't know how he could beat this man, and although Impress had yet to use her weapon, she also felt the same way, which led her to ask her question.

"Should we keep fighting, against the Dark Magus then?" Impress asked. "He moved us out of the fight, we could escape now, even with the three of us together, I doubt we have the power to best him."

The two of them were looking at Kawak for guidance, as they often did in situations like this. He had been making the decisions so far, and was closest to Alter and Heino in a way.

"It would be stupid of us to attack him, as you all said, we don't know if we could even win this fight," Kawak answered. "Besides, with the base taken out like that, we can't even be sure that Heino himself is even still alive. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise in the end."

The two were relieved that this was Kawak's decision at the end, but he hadn't moved from his position. Because he was waiting to see what would happen.

There was one thing he was still sure of, and that was that the Dark Magus was a huge threat, and it was one they needed to get rid of at all costs.

Raze was slowly descending from the sky, he could see that most of the Alter members had been defeated and the base was in tatters but he could also see something else.

On one of the floors that were still half left standing, he could see that Red, and Heino both of them were doing just fine holding some type of red ball in the air.

'I expected as much, for him to have an artifact that would protect him.' Raze thought. 'I decided to do a big attack from outside so he wouldn't be so ready for it, but he was still able to protect himself…I guess with everything that has happened, this is the best result I can get.'

Raze placed his hand on his chest. He perhaps had a few more moments he could use this breakthrough but it was too risky to do more. Some of the strongest members were still left alive, and he would just have to be satisfied with this.

So for the first time, rather than going forward or straight down to the ground, Raze was heading back into the forest where he came.

"He's retreating, now?" Cicle said shocked. "But why, after he did all of this and showed all of that power. Why isn't he finishing it off."

Shay could see Raze was coming towards her, and noticing this she quickly got in the circle. She had seen him turn into the old man, so she knew the two were the same person.

When Raze landed, he almost stumbled so she caught him, and she could feel his body was burning up and could see the sweat running on his face.

"Were heading back…I've done what I wanted to do…now we need to do everything we can to finish them off."

Lifting his hand up, Raze casted his magic, the circle started to light up, and the two of them disappeared shortly after. As quick as they had arrived they had disappeared.

Slowly, Kawak, Cicle and Impress walked back onto the battlefield. They looked around them at the countless number of dead that were on the ground, and then looked at the base itself.

When Kawak saw the two people in front of him, he kissed his teeth.

"Of course, the two of them survived, I guess we weren't so lucky after all."

"Right." A voice from behind said. "It seems you guys weren't lucky at all. I've arrived, and right after all of it ended, what bad luck, huh."

Turning around, all three of them noticed the man, the one they had learned to be called Enaxx, one of the Grand Magus.
