Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 237 A Way Back home?

Raze had spent a short time in Pagna in the grand scheme of things, but based on what he had seen so far, he wondered if there was a way back to Alterian. From what Himmy had reported to him, no one had found a way.

In fact, Raze thought this might really be the case since even the Dark Faction Founder had stayed, but based on what he knew of the person, it was more so that he had fallen in love with the current world of Pagna, that he didn't wish to leave and head back to Alterian.

Finding a way back was part of Raze's later goal. He imagined that if anyone knew a way back it would be the leader of Alter, or some type of item that would allow them to.

After all, a portal had an entrance and an exit, so if people were warping into the world of Pagna there had to be a way back.

The reason why Raze wasn't particularly looking for a way just yet was because of his strength. The other world was one that had the Grand Magus, those that he had cursed to death.

If he was to raise his strength in Alterian, they would attempt to shut him down before he even reached that position. So Raze would get stronger and build his way up in Pagna until he was either just as strong as before, or even stronger.

'There are even more problems than that.' Raze lifted his hand and made a strong fist. 'If I leave Pagna, right now I have no way of returning either. I'll have the same problem. Although I still remember the transmigration spell, I don't think it's something that's going to work more than once.'

Regardless, just listening to the message didn't mean he would get transported to Pagna, so he thought it was best that he continued to listen to the message anyway. After gathering his thoughts, he poured a bit of his magic into the device again to get it started.

"The world of Pagna is a vast one, and through it I was able to advance my own magical techniques. There are many things that the martial artist and mages share with each other. One of the things I learned was to be in a state of Zen, and separating one's mind from their body.

"This is a technique that is usually only achievable when a martial arts warrior is at the Divine level. However, when learning of this, it made me wonder if there was a way to do it as a mage."

"If I managed to achieve this, then I would be able to explore a larger scope without revealing myself, and it will allow me to continue staying in hiding. In the end, I was successful, or at least somewhat successful."

Just hearing the man talk on the other side, Raze was gaining respect for him as a researcher himself by the second. Although he tried to give up on the world of magic, it felt like no matter what he couldn't let it go.

There were those that built on top of others' research, there were those that simply just learned it, but to come up with their own creations, pushing them to levels that others hadn't achieved, those were very few.

Raze considered himself part of the few, but this was only due to his desperate situation and his need to learn more about the Dark Magic that people knew very little about.

"You see, when creating an astral projection of myself, I found that I was back in Alterian. Instead of being out of my body in Pagna, I had returned to Alterian. For the one listening, I know it might not be what you were hoping for, but it's up to you how you wish to use this information, so I shall leave some important bits for you."

"In the rest of the recording, I shall provide the magical circle and the technique to create an astral projection that will send you back to Alterian. There are some important things to note.

"Your body will appear as if it's normal with a slight glow of energy. This energy is your magic energy pouring from your body. As soon as you run out of mana, you will end up returning to your body in Pagna, and I don't think I have to warn you that all of your mana would be depleted."

So far, it sounded interesting, but how much Mana would it take to do such a thing? As a three-star mage, Raze couldn't imagine him being able to keep up a form that literally took him to another world for long.

"While in the astral form, spells will work from your body, but bear in mind this uses up mana, lessening your time in Alterian. At the same time, if your body is hit, although you won't be hurt, it will take mana to reform as well. So you won't be as strong as you are currently.

"On top of that, your real body will stay in the same place as when you use this spell. You will be in an extremely vulnerable state, so make sure no one is around you when using this skill, or multiple people are around you who you can trust, but as you might find, it's hard to trust people."

All of the information was everything Raze had needed. He was learning of the experimental procedures without having to do them himself, which was all good news to have, but it made him worry even more that at the moment he wouldn't have long to spend in Alterian.

'What would I even do by going back to Alterian anyway? How would I be able to look into what the Grand Magus are doing, or would I be able to find the link between Pagna and Alterian?'

It seemed incredibly difficult to do even with this technique, and it wasn't as if there was anyone he knew who he could meet.

"There is one more thing about this, and that's when using the technique, it will bring you to a place where you have a link with something. Try to focus on something that will link the current you into the world of Alterian, but also try not to appear and scare people or they may think you're a ghost."

"It's your thing anyway, if you want to be a ghost and scare people with this knowledge, then go ahead, and once again, if it's you guys who are following me listening to this, F*ck you."

A link was something that Raze lacked, and he was starting to wonder if this was something that he even could do. All of his links of family and positions he didn't have; they had been destroyed, killed, nearly everything he cared about.

There was only his vault of stored crystals and items that he had left behind, in the hopes of a new life he was going to use them, but was this the type of strong link he was asking about?

"This is the end of my message, as I said I'm not expecting much to come out of this, or for the person to find this to do anything, but there are times where you must try everything, and for me, this is one of those times."

"To all who are listening to this, if you wish to find a clue for the God Tier item, the Atlas Orb, then find it in Alterian!"
