Dark Magus Returns
chapter-777

Olag was starting to think about the grave mistake he might have just made. Coming in and assuming he was the great hope that Amir had in his mind, strong enough to defeat Murkel.

As for the second thought, it was after realizing who it might be. For a second, Olag had in the back of his mind that he wanted to test this person. After seeing a few moves he made, he wanted to see more until he felt like everyone was trapped in a corner.

For him to fail to see the plan in the attack beforehand, to get them into the position they were in, there was only one way someone could do that, and it was if they were

overwhelmingly powerful compared to their opponents.

The strange dark floating substance around the white-haired man's arm was sending chills running down Olag's spine. It wasn't his human senses that were reacting either; it felt like the beast part of him.

Everyone in the room, as they could feel the build-up of energy gathering in the sword, could feel that the beast side of their body wanted them to run away, but there was nowhere for them to run.

"I know I was the one that told you all to get away from him..." Raze said as he raised his sword above his head. "But that was the only thing that was keeping you guys alive."

"Wait!" Olag shouted out with one hand out, standing confidently slightly in front of the others. If it was a large-scale attack, then he would stop it with his body, and then at least some of the others would survive, and with his healing rate, there was a high chance he would as well.

"Dark Edge Sword Arts, Eclipse Strike!" Raze called out and swung his sword down. The whole room shook the moment the energy was released, and a large aura of darkness, like a giant wave, was coming toward them.

The fleeting words left Olag's mouth. "We're on your side," Olag said as he looked up at the attack ready to consume them.

The wave of energy struck the area where all of the Bonum Society members were. From Mantis and Raze's point of view, the only thing they could see was Raze's large attack covering half of the arena.

The energy continued to flow out and then started to dwindle. A large chunk of the metal flooring had disappeared as if part of it had been ripped from the ground, other areas slightly melted and solidified.

The large walls that covered the training area were nowhere to be seen, and instead, a hallway could be seen. The main thing was, there wasn't a single person in sight; everyone had gone.

"What is going on?" Raze said.

"Huh, what do you mean, what is going on?" Mantis said, standing up. "You just killed all of them. With that much attention, there have to be more of them. Come on, let's go."

"No," Raze said as he looked to his side.

When Mantis turned his head, he was confused as well because he could see Olag and the rest of the Bonum Society members all alive, standing just to the side where they were on the edge of where the attack hit.

Not only were Raze and Mantis shocked by this, though, Olag and the rest of the group were as well. They were touching their bodies, seeing if any limbs had gone missing, and some were even pinching themselves.

While others were pointing at the wreckage that Raze had just done with his attack.

"It was my mistake... he would have killed us all... you saved us," Olag said as he looked to his side, and a man with red hair and an eye patch was present.

"I'm just wondering what you guys did for him to hurt you that much. I'm guessing with your mouth it's quite deserving though, right?" Liam said as he hit the frightened Olag's back.

Now with Olag and his group, there was one more person who was standing by their side, and it was Liam of all people.

"Where did you come from? I didn't see you," Raze asked. "And who are these people? Why are you with them?"

"Did you just wake up or something? Did no one explain to you what's going on right now?" Liam asked. "I think I can kinda guess what happened then. It's a good thing this worked."

Liam bent down and picked up a circular device off the floor. It was around the same size as a plate. It had strange engravings and a small beaded gem in the middle. After picking it up off the floor, he stuck it on his back.

The plate seemed magnetized as it attached to the rest of his body.

"It's a special artifact I got; it saved these guys. There's a lot that's happened, Raze, but you don't have to worry about these guys."

"I know the bald-headed big mouth might need a hitting once in a while, but they're helping us out."

Raze was still quite visibly confused, and so was Mantis, but Raze no longer lifted his sword, placing it away, and he could see that none of the others no longer had the intention to attack them.

"Wait, so that's Raze, the one that was sleeping, the one we were meant to be protecting?" one of the men asked.

"I guess we weren't under attack then, but then why did he attack us?"

"They're from the Bonum Society," Liam answered. "You remember Amir, right? He brought you and the rest of us here after the fight with Murkel. They've been helping us quite a bit while you've been asleep, and there are big changes that happened as well, but I'll let all of them tell you that." Liam nodded in another direction.

When Raze turned his head, he could see the others coming through the regular entrance of the training hall: the Crimson Crane, Rayna, Simyon, Safa, and both Anna and Zon. There was a strange air of confidence around them all.

"Raze, you're awake!" they all shouted.
