Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 822: A Warning From Alter

A medical bay was located in the academy to treat students as well as other warriors.

From time to time there would be many that experienced some trouble, either students going too far with each other or teachers hurting themselves in battle.

At times the cause of the teachers wounds would be by the students as well.

Currently, inside lying on one of the physician tables a certain special individual, a man that was part of the group Alter, was receiving healing treatment.

First a Pagna physician had used their skills, giving a number of herbs and forcing needles into the skin.

This had brought some energy back to Himmy and colour to his face but the wound on his body was still healing.

After seeing this, a special Hybrid was called. Using a substance from the beast part of their body they had spat a strange gooey substance on the wound.

This had managed to stop the bleeding but the person still was in no state to speak and judging from the sweat running all over their body there was a good chance that they still wouldnʼt make it and thatʼs when Safa had finally been called.

She placed both of her hands over the wound, and started to activate her Light magic. Her hands started to glow slightly and then she could feel a connection on her back, where the spear currently was placed.

ʼI donʼt know why you came here of all places, maybe youʼre here to speak to Raze or try to take him out, but we wonʼt know with the state youʼre in.ʼ

The wound was severe and Himmy had already lost a lot of blood. With Safa having healed a number of people now she had an idea about wounds.

In fact she had even decided to study a few anatomy books as well as work side by side with a few physicians.

Learning the state of the body and how it worked allowed her to direct her healing powers to the right place. Rather than just using her Light magic on an area and hoping it would work, she could pinpoint her magic to heal certain parts.

ʼThe new Lux Spear, even with it on my back I can feel its power but it almost feels as if itʼs too powerful 1. Iʼm worried if I use its full power it might do more harm than good, I should limit it for now.ʼ

It didnʼt take long for not only the wound to look as if it was nonexistent as it was reverting back to the way it was, but Himmy looked almost back to normal.

”Get Raze, hurry!” Safa ordered.

Not only was Raze called to the room but Liam, Dame, Simyon as well as Amir were present as well.

Since some of them were part of Alter and involved in this whole matter.

When entering, Himmy was sitting up on the table, not moving from his position.

”I hope you know Iʼm here not as a threat?” Himmy said. ”Not that I could do anything against all of you here. You know I never thought when I met you, you would be in a position like this. I guess youʼre quite the otherworlder to cause a situation like this.”

Raze stayed in front of the others and looked at the blood stained overcoat Himmy wore.

”Who did that to you, was it Alter? Iʼm guessing they didnʼt just send you to speak to me, or to take me down.” Raze asked.

Safa and Simyon turned confused, why would Alter attack one of their own, especially Himmy who wasnʼt part of their group at all.

”Man, at a time like this I could really, really do with a smoke. This world has something like it, but itʼs just not the same, I want that feeling deep inside you know, even if itʼs proven to kill me.” Himmy said, gesturing in the air and breathing out.

”Anyway, youʼre right Alter did this to me, and it was after they found out about you.” Himmy explained. ”You see, they are wondering why someone like me had you under my command yet knew nothing about you.”

”At first when news of you appearing at the Martial Arts Tournament spread, there seemed to be no issue on the matter.” Himmy explained.

”Right.” Amir added. ”If Alter was able to have someone like Raze part of their group it would only increase their influence, I thought they would have wanted to talk to him.”

”Right, that would have been the case.” Himmy answered.

”They would have reached out with some terms and maybe Raze would have gotten a high position. Thatʼs what I thought as well, but then Alter suddenly locked me up”

”They captured me and Charlotte together and started to question and ask what we know about the Dark Magus.”

This had caught the attention of Raze and it confirmed one of his thoughts. There were those in Alter that knew about him.

If anything they wanted to know even more about the Dark Magus, and the only people that would go so far when hearing the name of the Dark Magus would be the Grand Magus.

”It didnʼt seem like they believed us that you were just a two star mage and one that was using Pagna warrior skills.” Himmy explained.

”No matter what we said they pushed us and started to torture us with thier magic. Whoever you are, you really seem to be on their radar.”

”In the end, Charlotte was able to use her magic skills to break the two of us out.” ”Escaping from Alter is near an impossible task but Charlotte, sheʼs a clever one especially with her magic. The two of us split up and created a diversion, thatʼs when I was shot on the way out.”

”With Alter chasing after me, where the fuck could I even go. I couldnʼt go to any city, thereʼs too many of them, so I thought why not head to the place, the reason why I was shot in the first place, maybe if I died I could at least get some peace knowing why I was shot.”

”Whereʼs Charlotte now?” Raze asked.

Safa made note of all the questions Raze could ask, he had asked about this Charlotte person in of everyone.

”I have no idea, we split up, but as I said sheʼs a clever one, I think she would have survived somewhere out there. Anyway, thanks for saving me you guys, you all seem to have Pagna powers and magic which is strange to me but it doesnʼt matter.”

There were so many questions on Razeʼs mind now that Himmy was here even the odd comment he had just made.

He remembered trying to teach Safa magic, and when creating the core, what had occured. If she had learned anything but Light magic then she would have been dead by now. ”Since Alter is now after you, I presume it will be easier to get information from your lips. It would be quite handy after all to know what the enemy is doing and the state they are in.” Amir asked interested in his own gain.

”Ha, even though I was a squad captain they didnʼt tell me much, thereʼs a number of ranks

above me. If I was so important I wouldnʼt have been in this state to begin with.” Himmy said. ”But sure Iʼll work with you guys, but I want my own answers as well from him, why is Alter

after you so much.ʼ

It wasnʼt just Himmy that was interested, everyone there was curious as well. Because Himmy

didnʼt say Raze, he didnʼt say the Dark Faction leader.

It stated that they were interested in the Dark Magus.

ʼThat was a name he spread himself, did he do this on purpose to get Alterʼs attention?ʼ Dame thought. ʼI thought it was just something he chose to try and be a bit catchy and sell his

products.ʼ

”Before that, there is something I need to warn you guys about.” Himmy said. ”Consider this

as a gift to prove Iʼm cooperating with you.”

”An Alter squad will be coming here. They will be here to gather information. After they get what they want then they will do one of two things.”

”They will head back to Alter and report back, or they will choose to go further with their goal, maybe try and capture the Dark Magus.”

”With your new found strength I think thatʼs unlikely, but whatever you do, donʼt get rid of them, donʼt let them know you know about them, if you attack them, then weʼre all going to

be fucked, Alter will send a Deleter.”

”A Deleter, whatʼs that?” Safa asked.

”You havenʼt been in Alter long enough to know the ins and outs, but the Deleters are the ones sent out to solve all their problems. They have the power to eliminate entire clans if need be.” ”Whatever you do, for everyoneʼs sake, donʼt attack the Alter group.”
