Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1020: The Golden Globe (Part 2)

The name Bofan was known well among the world of Pagna, full name Bofan Klikola. The founder of the Dark Faction, a man from a bygone era, a man who had statues built for him placed around the Dark Faction.

Yet for the rest of the Pagna warriors and most in the room, he was a person that they hadnʼt heard much of. Seeing his image here, they didnʼt understand what it meant. In truth, there were only three people in the room that had an idea of what was going on.

Zon, Red, and Raze. In particular, the latter had been following his footsteps which led him to Belil, and eventually to this point where he was now. With Alter trying to find the Golden Globe for a large amount of time, it was no wonder they had an inkling of where the item was.

As for how Zon knew, Raze hadnʼt even had the time to ask, but none of that mattered because, seeing Bofan here meant they were on the right path, and perhaps everything that Belil had said and told him was completely true.

”Donʼt worry!” the mysterious voice said, oozing with power with each word. Just from speaking, one could tell energy from the crystals around had been used up. ”This is a message most likely from beyond the grave, but I knew my time was up.”

”And do you all know why I knew my time was up? Because of people like you. People who are far too greedy, that need to push and push to get what they want. Why canʼt you just enjoy what you have with your lives now?”

”It seems those on Pagna and Alterian are quite similar, which is why I knew it would come to this. You canʼt change people, it seems.” There was a big sigh at the end.

It was quite interesting how realistic the image felt in front of them, as if he was actually there watching them. At times the head even moved and turned around as it talked to them all directly.

”What is this item that weʼre taking?” Beatrix couldnʼt help but mumble to herself.

Even Ricar started to feel uneasy. Seeing the Dark Faction Founder, where they were taking something that didnʼt belong to them, this wasnʼt matching up with the morals of the Light Faction at all.

If anything, Ricar was starting to believe more and more that they might be in Bofanʼs tomb and was taking something from him.

The ground underneath the mist started to rumble and the area in the center started to change. A pillar made from the ground started to rise until a golden glowing ball came out, placed on the pillar. Circles and markings of glowing energy were swirling around the orb, constantly moving. The markings looked like rings that would appear on other planets, constantly swirling.

It somewhat even looked like the images that mages would draw of a mana heart. ”The reason why you are all here is because of this, the legendary artifact, called the Golden Globe,” Bofan explained. ”A little information for you all, as I imagine after so much time has passed, you might not even know what you are after, and some of you might even be here on behalf of others, but I wish for everyone here who is present to have a clear understanding.” ”This item used to belong to a race of people not from Pagna, the Bonum Society people. Their world was one that was on the verge of destruction, and so they used their powerful artifact to move here to the world of Pagna.”

”Interesting, right? An item that gives one the power to move worlds. If it was as simple as that, I wouldnʼt go far to protect it. You see, this item is extremely powerful. Not only can it open rifts to allow people to jump between worlds easily,”

”It can also open rifts between different realms, allowing one to bypass even universes that we are in, those on a different plane. Although I never figured out how to do it myself, who knows the full capabilities of this item, it might be able to even open a rift through time!”

The ecstatic conversation and excitement as Bofan was explaining things werenʼt resonating with the others. Learning more about the item sounded extremely frightening to many of them there.

”Frightening, right? Such a powerful item that can be used to help can also be used for so much harm. I come from a world of researchers, mages who are gaining more and more knowledge about the world. Itʼs quite frightening, honestly.”

”In fact... I had at one point taken this item back to them.... it was a mistake on my part. They tried to use their minds to create another one, to create a similar item, another Golden Globe. Mages are great at enchanting items, and powerful ones with the right conditions can create artifacts that might even become godly artifacts like this.”

”Too much power attracts too much attention. Too much attention and the universe will deem that it must be dealt with. Iʼm sorry, itʼs my fault that rifts constantly open up in your world.”

”Itʼs my fault the mages are trying to find a way here... although it seems they knew of this world before I gave them the item... but that is a story that I have no end to.”

”Regardless, I hid this item for many years, wishing it would never get in the wrong hands, and because you are seeing this message, it means that many people are after this item. To protect it again, to use it for their own good. I do not know... which is why I have created this test.”

”Right now, the darkest moments and deepest memories of each individual here will be revealed to you all. Your heart will be open to all on display in this room.”

”After, all of you will be asked a question, and there will be no escaping the truth. The one you all judge to be the safest person to have the Golden Globe will be able to take it home.”
