Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 944  Punishment For Losing

Seeing Belilʼs hand reach toward him, Raze had an idea of what was coming next—the extraction technique. In the first place, it was a technique that had come from the Demonic Faction.

Those at higher stages, considered prodigies, could use it at a great speed. It wasnʼt practically useful in a fight, but after defeating an opponent, it could help one increase in strength dramatically.

When Belilʼs hand pressed on Razeʼs chest, he could see the veins on Belilʼs hands start to bulge, and something from within began to be lifted.

ʼIʼve lost the fight… I have no more mana, I canʼt even lift a finger. I can forget about taking any type of Qi pills to give me another chance, but that would all be useless anyway.ʼ

In truth, Raze could only think of two things that might have been helpful in the current situation: for his body to be so close to death that he would perform a breakthrough.

As for the second thing, it was for the Bloody Woman to come and protect him.

ʼI… canʼt do it… Iʼm so angry. Iʼm so angry at myself!ʼ Raze thought. The only thing he could muster up were his thoughts. ʼI didnʼt even get to take one of them out yet—not a single one of them for everything they did!ʼ

ʼI was so close, I was so close to having the strength to face them. If I were to meet them again, I would have gotten rid of them all, and now here is where I have to pass.ʼ

In his last moments, memories started to appear—of Sabrina and Jake, the people he cared about still in Alterian. But then, strangely, other images started to appear in his mind.

Harvey from the police station, and Kelly, the student who had helped him as well. Finally, all those in Pagna appeared in his mind.

Coming up one after the other, their faces, their smiles, and the start of this whole journey filled his mind.

ʼI never really did have a moment to enjoy the now with them. I wonder why Iʼm thinking so much about them now?ʼ Raze thought.

”Good,” Belil said. ”I can tell you really have nothing left in you. You drew out every little bit of power you had, and you still couldnʼt beat me. Which means youʼve become a complete failure.

”Bofan was wrong, as I expected he would be.”

The veins continued to bulge on Belilʼs hands, and Raze was wondering, why wasnʼt his body changing? The fighting feeling from within him had gone, and instead, the new feeling was somewhat…nice?

The feeling now, it was the same as when he would use the extraction technique.

”It canʼt be?” Raze said. ”Are you… giving me my energy?”

As time went on, Raze grew more certain—energy was being fed into him, and it could only be coming from one person. Yet this made no sense.

If Belil left Raze alone, he would eventually recover, and the fight was lost long ago. There was no need for Belil to go this far, so why was he doing it now?

”As I said, you didnʼt win, which means you arenʼt strong enough. Bofanʼs gamble was that at some point, someone would come to this world in a similar situation as him.”

”Who knows what would have occurred, but he hoped that maybe, just like him, they would fall in love with the world of Pagna.”

”If that did happen, and they found out the truth, then maybe theyʼd try to protect it. However, he was wrong. Someone did come along, but they werenʼt strong enough.”

”Bofanʼs plan failed!”

ʼProtect Pagna?ʼ Raze thought.

He didnʼt want to protect Pagna. Maybe there were some people he cared about, but he just wanted to get back to Alterian. Somehow, his goal had simply aligned with Bofanʼs.

”Bofan was an optimist. Someone coming along just like him? A skilled mage like him, a powerful warrior like him, and someone as smart as him able to do all of that? And within a certain time, it would be impossible.”

”Even if someone did, why would they fight for Pagna? I donʼt know your reason, but you seem to be going up against Alter, and thatʼs good enough for me.”

”Anyway, I had an inkling that Bofanʼs plan would fail. So I decided from that day on, when he disappeared, to make his wish a reality. I decided that I would become his backup.”

”Right now, what Iʼm doing with you is the backup plan because you failed to best me.”

Raze was slowly coming to a realization from all the words that had been spoken before. But would someone really do such a thing? Would someone do that for him when they hardly knew him?

”It seems you figured it out. Iʼm going to give you all of my energy,” Belil explained. ”This is different from the extraction technique where you just take a portion of my power.”

”Iʼm giving you everything I have. Your Qi will become just as strong as mine, you will have the strength to take out anyone who gets in your way, and you will still have your magic powers!”

”You will become the person that Bofan wanted in this world. My energy is vast, so I needed you to use every last bit of energy in your body, to use everything you had so I could place mine inside you instead.”

”Itʼs still going to hurt because itʼs going to force your body through things itʼs not ready for yet, but itʼs the only way.”

After hearing everything, Raze only had one question as he learned this.

”Is it the same consequence as the extraction technique? You doing this… will you lose your life?” Raze asked.

There was a moment of silence from Belil, it made Raze wonder what was he contemplating, this wasnʼt an answer but then he finally spoke.

”Just shut up and let me do the speaking. While I explain everything and whatʼs going to happen in the next two days.” Belil said.
