Dark Magus Returns
chapter-572

'My son?' The word repeated in Raze's head the moment he had heard it. Because it wasn't a word that he had heard much when he was young.

Growing up, he didn't even remember having a mother, and as for his father, it wasn't a word that was used once. The relationship between the two was difficult to say the least.

Which was why there was a knee-jerk reaction from Raze the moment he had heard it. His heart was undecided on whether or not it was a good feeling, because he truly didn't know.

Regardless, the eyes of the crowd weighed heavily on him. Staring and watching him as he made his move.

"Don't worry, those guys are all bark and no bite," Fing said. "They aren't going to touch you, let's go up on the stage."

Fing casually had his hands in his pockets standing by the side of Raze. Walking toward the stage, he had a smirk on his face while looking at Sha Mo, the Clan Head of the Behemoth Clan.

On the other side, Han had his hands held together behind him. He didn't even glance at Lince from the Lost Clan.

Their reputation had taken a recent hit as they had allowed one of the clans through the border onward to attack the Dark Faction.

It was a small hit in their reputation, as many understood that they had just suffered from a portal break of all things.

The brothers were right though, none of them dared to act and just gave looks while Raze walked past. Trying to figure out who this person was.

Anna, along with Fixteen who had been following the group for a while decided to head away. More accurately, Fixteen had pulled Anna.

"We are not allowed to be on that stage with them, no matter how strong you are, it's best you pull away and listen to me," Fixteen whispered.

Anna, having evaluated the brothers' strength and knowing full well who else was on that stage, had decided to stand down.

Although she did things rashly, that was only because she was confident in her strength. In this situation, she couldn't say the same, and if dead, she wouldn't be able to complete her mission either.

Belil was standing straight and for once, he had a black soft cloth on that the Pagna warriors would usually wear. Most of the time when Raze met with Belil, he would have no top on at all.

Still, his muscular chest that looked as hard as diamonds was still on show. It seemed like the clothing was purposely designed to show this.

"We have successfully brought the big man of the day," Han said, standing by Raze's side looking out to the crowd, while Fing did the same on Raze's other side.

Now all of them were looking out into the crowd.

"I'm sure many of you are curious as to who is marrying my beloved daughter and only daughter of the Neverfall Clan!" Belil shouted. His voice echoed so loudly with Qi that every corner of the city was able to hear his voice clearly.

"I have had many requests over the years, and I have declined many because I only have one daughter, and I don't want to give her up just to anyone.

"Which was why I was surprised myself, when she was the one that actually suggested the marriage to me, which just goes to show you all how great of a person my son really is!"

These words had just made the crowd even more curious as to who the person could be. Already the other clans were checking each other to see if anyone of significance was missing, yet all of them were present.

The clan members kept thinking if it wasn't this person then it had to be this person. They continued to go down the list until they no longer had anyone else that they could select.

"So, before the bride is to come out, then I will let him introduce himself to you all, go ahead and speak, my son!" Belil shouted while looking at Raze.

A little perplexed, Raze looked at Belil and wondered what he meant by this. Did he want him to make up an identity, tell him he was no one, or tell them the truth about who he was?

He wasn't a mind reader. If he said something wrong, couldn't this affect the whole of the Demonic Faction?

In the end, though, Raze realized through his short interactions, Belil was a man that meant what he spoke. Whatever Raze introduced himself as, he would be fine with.

Taking a step forward, Raze walked to the edge of the platform. The two brothers were only a step behind, keeping their duty to protect him.

'I had slowly been letting out the name through the continent. Hoping to gain their attention, but I also hadn't been fully divulging as to who I am or announcing where I was.'

'Because I was afraid I wasn't strong enough to stop them. Now I have been able to gather a large amount of strength and backing in this world through relations as well as wealth through the sale of my items.'

'The sales have yet to expand even further, but I will be able to continue to grow. So I should allow them to come at me, I will face them and using them I will continue to grow my power.'

With these thoughts in his mind, Raze gathered his Qi in his throat and belly, as he spoke he tried to imitate what Belil did. His voice would echo but not as loudly as Belil but still to the extent that everyone in the market square could hear what he was saying.

"I am known as the Dark Magus!" Raze stated. "I am a member of the Crimson Crane. The Dark Magus who is part of the Crimson Crane, and the Alchemist who has been selling items throughout the Demonic Faction."

These were the only words Raze spoke. Everyone knew the Dark Magus was already part of the Crimson Crane. This was part of his protection for a while.

They also knew the items which came from him, by now every clan had gotten their hands on at least one pill, and knew just how effective they were.

Yet no one had an idea what the Dark Magus looked like and now they were setting eyes on him for the first time, with his black mask, and black hair.

Now, the image of what they could see of him was being burned into them as they tried to remember this important figure.

"The Dark Magus, I heard of him, how did the Neverfall Clan get their hands on him!"

"Didn't the Crimson Crane also leave the Demonic Faction. I heard they were scared of what the Behemoth Clan were going to do to them because of what happened."

It wasn't just the public that had found this new information interesting. Among those in the crowd, they weren't just clan members of the Demonic Faction, but groups that were far larger operating without them knowing.

Members of the Bonum Society had appeared at the grand event, as well as a new group from Alter.

"Make a note, we have found the one that is calling themselves the Dark Magus, and is using his name. However, he looks nothing like the description that was given."
