Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 838: A New Item, The Crimson Crane



Raze had made up his mind. He was going to go to the town of Flendon to face Sha Mo and his Behemoth Clan. Having met him in the Martial Arts Tournament, he could guess the man's personality.

There was a deep grudge he had with Raze, and the fact that now he held the title of leader of the Dark Faction, it was just even more reason for Sha Mo to go after him.

Sha Mo was a very petty man, and Raze had managed to catch his eyes in a number of ways. The fact that the town of Flendon was attacked without Raze even being there just went ahead and showed it.

This wouldn't stop until Sha Mo was dealt with. There were other reasons for Raze going as well, some of them to do with the feelings of others around him, others were for his personal gain.

Raze was walking around the main academy building, heading from room to room. Since he had decided to head off, he was asking everyone if they wished to come.

He wouldn't force them into a fight that he had decided on. He could guess most of their answers, as everyone was practically saying they were willing to go.

While walking down the hallway, Raze looked at his hand.

'If I defeat Sha Mo, and absorb him with the Demonic Extraction technique, that should definitely increase my stage level. With that, I'm sure I'll be able to perform more of the Dark Edge Sword Arts.' Raze thought. 'If that happens, then, I'll be ready, I'll be ready to face the Grand Magus.'

Strength wise, Raze was sure he could faze the Grand Magus, at least on their own one by one, but he knew there would still be a number of issues still in Pagna to deal with.

In the first place, he needed to find the Golden Globe to even get to Alterian.

Raze had then entered the library, and could see that most of the Crimson Crane were already gathered and had their weapons on them.

"Have you made your mind up then, on what you're planning to do?" Reno asked.

"Yeah, I'm heading to Flendon, and I plan to take on Sha Mo and get rid of him once and for all." Raze said. "I haven't had time to create your weapons yet, the only one that's ready is Forma's."

"MINES READY!" Forma jumped up and down, her whole face turning bright red. She couldn't believe it. Raze hadn't given the Crimson Crane any type of order for when the others would get special weapons.

He was just making them as he had the materials ready. Even then it took several tries before something would be created that satisfied him.

Out of all of them, only Forma's weapon was ready.

"If you head to my crafting room. I'm sure you will be able to pick up the right one.

"If you can, bring all of the failures with you as well."

Forma nodded with excitement as she went ahead and already ran past Raze. Looking for a new weapon.

The others who had yet to get weapons were a little envious of Forma. Lily, was waiting on a new spear, there was Cronker who was hoping for some new daggers, and lastly there was Alba herself.

"So where do you want us?" Alba asked.

"Come to the meeting room from before, and I will explain to you all what we're going to do, but I came to tell you in person, you guys don't have to come, the decision is up to you."

The other members looked at Alba, the answer was obvious to them as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"We all enjoyed our time in Flendon, and before even coming here, we were already content with making it our home. We got on with a lot of people and made a few friends. We'll be there and wait for you as soon as Forma comes back."

Raze had now visited everyone that was inside of the academy. Now there was just one more place he needed to go to and have a talk with.

Outside of the main academy, outside of the courtyard walls. Raze had entered the outer city. He had switched to a robe to cover himself rather than wearing his Blazer which stood out quite a bit.

If others saw the Dark Magus out in the open with his white hair, he was sure that it would cause quite the fuss, and finally he had made it to a certain location.

He looked up at the sign board.

"So Zon decided to relax here of all places, the Perfect Noodle's shop... just what is he doing?" Raze said.

Forma had rushed and barged straight into Raze's research room. The moment she had entered a waft of air had touched her body and inhaled into her insides.

She felt sick, and her entire body was covered in goosebumps as she shivered. "What is this place, and why does it feel even darker than outside, is it my eyes?" Forma rubbed them, but still the room was Darker than any of the other rooms for some reason. Trying to ignore her body's natural reaction, she ventured inside and could see piles of discarded weapons. Daggers, Spears, and Dual swords.

It was clear they were items for the other members of the Crimson Crane. Heading toward them, Forma looked at the dual swords up close.

"These are the failures he's talking about... I knew there was something wrong in the head with that guy." Forma said. "No one in their right mind would consider these failures. Alba would be over the moon with swords like these."

She reached out to touch them, but before her fingertips touched the dual swords she had stopped.

'Ah, I remember what Tilon said about his shield, I wouldn't want something like that to happen to me.' Forma said with a happy smile and started to swing her arms.

She then could see a large pile of bows, and not just bows but arrows in the corner of the room, and just like the other equipment she couldn't believe they were called failures. "Just how much would one of these things sell for! And they all are just here lying around. I guess Raze wants to give them to the people of Flendon, and they won't even know that what they have is so precious in their hands."

As she looked at the pile of bows though, something was calling to her from behind. Turning around, Forma looked at the table, where there was a large piece of cloth.

The indented parts made it clear that it was covering up a bow.

"This is it right, this is the weapon that I was looking for, it's right here!"

Placing her hand on the edge of the cloth, she couldn't help but drag the cloth right off the weapon, and her eyes were sparkling with delight.

"This is it, I can feel it, I can feel its power. This is the item that the Dark Magus made for

me!"

Not being able to help herself, she had gone ahead and grabbed the specially crafted bow. It was mainly dark red in color, with strange swirls all around.

There looked to be no pattern to the bow itself, other than the odd swirls but Forma could feel its power. The moment she grabbed it though, the red swirls on the bow started to wrap around, and started to grab right onto her arm.

"What the... ARGHHH!!!!!!!!!" The next moment Forma let out an almighty scream.
