Dark Magus Returns
chapter-891

Standing on the outside of the crater where Raze and Sha Mo were fighting, several of Raze's closest allies were watching everything take place.

They were beyond exhausted, and just standing was taking up a lot of their strength. They had constantly been fighting up to this point and had all received their fair share of Qi from Sha Mo.

Which was why, when they saw the situation that Raze was in, the pain he was going through as he fought Sha Mo, and the damage his body had taken, they all wanted to help. They wanted to do something, but they couldn't.

Their bodies were beyond exhausted. At most, maybe they could slide down the crater along the side and manage to not even get close.

After all, with each hit, Sha Mo's Qi was expanding outward as well.

However, this wasn't true for one individual. There was one person who, even in the middle of fighting, with every breath they took, continued to cultivate their powers.

On top of that, they held a great weapon that allowed their body to heal as time went by at an incredible speed.

Not only that, but this person, even if they weren't injured, would have done everything they could to move, which was why Safa had moved.

She jumped down, sliding across the crater, and with her feet, she kicked off as hard as she could. She needed to get to Raze as fast as possible.

"SAFA!" Simyon yelled. "What are you doing, come back... even if we go down there, there's nothing we can do!"

Simyon tried to force his body to move, but he eventually fell to the ground, and all he could do was watch Safa move faster than he had ever seen, rushing to the center.

All eyes were focused on what had happened, and without any hesitation, before Sha Mo even threw his fist, Safa had leapt in the middle of the two fighting.

The powerful fist was thrown by Sha Mo, and unlike Raze, who had the protection of the Blazer and mid-stage Qi protecting him from Sha Mo's strikes, Safa had none of that.

The powerful fist had ripped a hole right through the center of her stomach. Parts of her guts had already been torn out and were on the floor at that point.

Raze, who had been knocked away by the second-hand power of the punch, looked up and could see the face of the person who had practically saved his life.

"Safa..." Raze said.

Safa turned back, her face filled with tears, but of all things, there was one thing Raze noticed -after she said her last words, she was smiling.

"Brother..." Safa quietly said, her face satisfied that she had at least seen Raze was still alive and well.

Raze didn't blink, he continued to stare at the spot where Safa lay on the floor. He was waiting for her body to move. He was waiting to wake up from this nightmare.

"Why... why... why are you here... why did you..."

Raze couldn't get his thoughts straight. His mind was rampaging, filled with pain, and his heart was beating aggressively.

As Raze looked at Safa, the images and memories returned to him. Of the day he had gone back to the apartment, and on the ground, he had seen her there, just like Sabrina.

"It happened again... it happened again. Everyone who gets close to me, anyone I start to care about for just a second, they get taken away from me!"

Raze still hadn't blinked. His hands were clenched to the point his fingernails dug into his palms, and blood was dripping down.

"ARGHHH!" Raze let out an almighty scream as he banged his head on the floor.

"WHYYY!!!" Raze shouted again.

Sha Mo looked at the woman on the floor, the student.

"She was quite reckless, jumping into the middle of that while being so weak. What a fool. What did she think she was doing?"

"She just wasted her life for no reason. There's only one person that needs to die, and that's you. I bet she thought she was helpful, but she just delayed your death in the end."

Sha Mo then walked over and looked at Safa's lifeless eyes on the floor.

"This body is in the way, and it needs to be removed," Sha Mo stated as he lifted up his leg. "DON'T!" Raze screamed with his hand out. "DON'T TOUCH HER!"

In an instant, Dark magic came swirling out of Raze's body. It spread out and traveled all over Raze, a large amount of it. It looked like dark sprites were floating in the air around Raze.

Until so much Dark magic had been unleashed that it covered where Raze was like a dark ball. The immense power and the chills that Sha Mo felt caused him to stop for a moment and look in Raze's direction.

'This power.... this isn't Qi... I've never felt something like this... what have you done, Dark Magus?'

The dark ball of energy that surrounded Raze was shaking, and then it exploded outward. A dark mist spread through the entire area. It continued exploding out from the crater, covering Rayna and the others.

As it touched their bodies, they only felt a slight burning sensation, but their view was

obstructed.

It didn't take long for the dark energy to disappear into the air and for the others to look back

down.

"What's that... what's happened to him?" Rayna asked.

Raze could feel it, the mass amount of anger, the dark energy that had been swirling around him, and the feeling around his chest and mana coursing through his entire body.

He was the first mage in history to activate a breakthrough coming from a mage with a Dark Core, but what was the meaning of this?

Why would his breakthrough be this, of all things?

"What has happened to you?" Sha Mo asked. "Why have you turned into... an old man?"
