Dark Magus Returns

Out of the group, Safa, Rayna, and Alba were all running forward first. It was something a bit comical for the others who were watching, as the three women caught themselves, stared at each other, and soon their run turned into a slow walk.

"What a guy, huh?" Kizer said, hitting the shoulder of Tilon. "How did he get it so the leader is fawning over him like that? I've been with the leader how many years now, and she's never run after one of us like that."

"I'm sure it's just relief more than anything," Reno replied. "After what happened last time, it's a surprise that he is awake after all."

Safa and the other two quickly reached Raze first, and they all remembered that he didn't particularly like being touched, so they stayed a meter distance away, giving caring smiles while looking at him.

"Oh, the Lux Sword!" Safa said and pulled it from behind her. "You probably want it back, right? I looked after it and used it to help heal myself."

Before Safa could even fully pull it out of its sheath, Raze lifted his hand and shook his head.

"You keep it. That sword has compatibility with Light magic, so it's more suited for you than me. I know you focus on spear techniques, so I'm sure Alba might have someone that can reconstruct the Lux Sword into a spear for you. It will be a great help for you," Raze said.

Before, Raze would have kept everything to himself, especially something as valuable as the Lux Sword, but during his journeys, he realized something: he was stuck with these guys.

No matter where he would go, they would follow, and considering his life had been saved twice now by them, the Lux Sword would be much better in the hands of a healer like Safa. With her skills, it was the perfect combination.

For Safa herself, she was very pleased. In fact, on her latest outing, the Lux Sword had become very handy for her, and it would have been something hard to give up.

While the other two said their sweet words to Raze, mostly checking that he was okay and not feeling lightheaded like before, the others arrived as well.

"Of course he's alright," Ricktor said. "Can't you see the state the arena is in?"

The others had an awkward look. They had only left for a short time, and all of this had occurred while they were away.

"Yeah, what exactly happened here? Did you go..." Mada decided to take a step back before he finished his sentence. "Crazy... Did that thing come back inside you?"

Mada, having tried to kill Raze behind his back, had experienced the bloody woman firsthand, even though he didn't realize it, so he had a built-in fear when Raze's body had changed at the time.

"What is going on? Why are all these guys here, and why are you all together?" Mantis said, sounding defensive.

Although many of them might have been Raze's allies, not a lot of them were Mantis's, and the Dark Faction was considered the enemy.

"Are you really working for both the Dark Faction and the Demonic Faction?" Mantis asked as The turned to Raze.

"We just fought against the Dark Faction with our lives, how can he be... forget it," Simyon said. "I guess you didn't see much because you were knocked out the entire time."

It was true, which was why out of everyone that was there, Mantis would be the most confused.

"We woke up, and I've never been to this place before, with people I had never seen. I had assumed that we had been captured," Raze explained. "So I was trying to break out of the place."

The others felt a little guilty for the hurt Bonum Society members. After all, if one of them had stayed by Raze's side, then maybe he wouldn't have been so shocked about their situation.

"Mantis does have a point, though. Where are we then, and what happened to everyone?" Raze asked. "What have you been doing to gather such artifacts?"

The others all had this cheeky smile on their faces. They were gloating as if they couldn't wait to talk about what had occurred.

"There you are finally!" Olag's loud voice could be heard. "All of us nearly went up to the sky, I thought I would never see you again until another thirty years."

Another had entered the room, and it was none other than the Vice Principal, Amir. "Thirty years, is that how long you think I have left?" Amir replied back. "And for you, I don't think you would be going above, but instead, I think you would be going down below."

Amir was inspecting the scene, looking at the entire place. He was deeply shaking his head, and when his eyes met with Mantis, something clicked in his head.

"Ahhh, the pain!" Mantis said, holding his side. "Why do I recognize you, and this place, what the heck is this?"

"I'm sorry for my lateness, and sorry for not being there when you woke up," Amir said, looking at Raze. "I was in the middle of gathering the others, and we were doing a bit of testing above, making sure everything would be ready for when you woke up."

"For when I wake up?" Raze replied.

"Yes, to answer your question, right now, you are in the base of the Bonum Society. I, as its leader, had brought you and your allies here to help protect you from the Light Faction and anyone else that might be chasing you." There was a small glance from Amir toward Anna and Zon, who both hadn't left yet.

So they had no way of contacting Alter.

"As promised, I will now proceed to tell you everything. All of you deserve to know the true reason for the existence of the Bonum Society, and then it is up to you to decide what you wish to do next. So all, follow me."
