Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 242 I know everything about him

Chapter 242 I know everything about him

The first question was asked by the female Dark Magic user, and Raze could imagine the smug look she had under her robes' face. Her body stood with confidence, and her finger stayed straight as she pointed out and accused the other.

"The first incident of the Dark Magus was when I was in the temporary holding cell after the incident at the academy. That was when I became the Dark Magus, but that wasn't when people knew me or knew my name or started to call me the Dark Magus, it was that incident."

"The Dark Magus attacked the Central Academy. That was when people first learned of his powers. In that incident, a number of professors died, and students had fallen as well. It was the first display ever of a 9-star mage using Dark Magic, thus he received his name."

The reason behind the attack was obvious after learning a new type of magic. Raze had returned to get his revenge on the current principal, the person who had betrayed him, a person who he once thought was his friend. The principal had used the power of the teachers, and some students had gotten caught in the crossfire.

"Fine, I guess that was an obvious one to start with. That event was publicized everywhere, so of course, there would be those that remembered," the woman replied, thinking of a harder question. "What was the first incident involved with the Dark Magus?"

Although the two questions seemed the same, they were quite different. What was the incident that spread the Dark Magus's name, and what was the first incident that involved him?

'There's a bigger issue in this; it's how much does she know? While practicing my Dark Magic, there were many mages that I had to fight against. That I killed in the shadows that never came to light.'

"The first obvious important incident was the attack on the pharmaceutical company belonging to Gizin, one of the Grand Magus. No one was left alive, including the workers inside. At the time, they had no clue that it was the Dark Magus's work until later when multiple stories started to come out."

When Raze took a pause, it almost looked like the woman was about to jump and say something until Raze continued.

"But... the first incident was actually a murder of a Pharma employee belonging to the same factory. It was reported as random, but later assumed that the Dark Magus bore some type of grudge against the company, and he was the cause of the first death."

The woman's hands were shaking because she thought she had him there. It was a small report that no one cared about because time had already passed when they had linked the case. Who cared about one death when there were hundreds that occurred?

She knew that if he knew about this, he had to either be a superfan or his words of being a Dark spirit related to the Dark Magus were true. That was until something popped into her head.

"What happened to the town of Electra, the incident the Dark Magus was involved in?" She asked.

This seemed like quite a simple one. Even the hooded man was confused because it was perhaps one of the most popular incidents of the Dark Magus known in existence.

Raze thought about it for a moment but then answered away from what he could remember.

"The Magic guild, Cromber, was eliminated by the Dark Magus. In response, the world was in a panic, and in that town, Enaxx, one of the Grand Magus, had arrived. The two had a devastating fight that caused the death of many of the town's citizens. The aftermath of the fight caused Enaxx to have a deficiency in a certain area, and to be nicknamed 'one ball,' but there was no victor in the fight, only death."

Every time Raze spoke about the Dark Magus, he never failed to forget about all the deaths that happened along the way. Quite a few innocent people had gotten mixed up in this grand battle.

At that time, his emotions were even stronger than they were now. Why, after everything he had done for the world of Alterian, everything he had created, the research he had done to create magic to help the lives of others, had the world betrayed him? It wasn't the world, but the Grand Magus who were in charge. The good people like Raze suffered because of them, and Raze was going to put a stop to it. Stop his own suffering because he didn't deserve it, to hold all the pain with nothing happening to them.

A death to the people around them, that was far more painless than what he had to deal with.

"No!" The woman surprisingly shouted. "I'm not asking what the news reports stated or what people think happened; I'm asking for the truth. You're right, the Cromber Guild was eliminated by the Dark Magus, but you must know why. If you were truly someone close to the Dark Magus, or by his side, then you would know the reason why."

The words of the woman had brought up memories in his head. A man with blonde hair and a big smile on his face. Raze in a small room with him, as the two of them were getting ready.

"I'll help you, Raze, or should I say Dark Magus," the blonde man said with a chuckle. "What you're doing, it's changing this place."

Moments later, and more memories flashed, moving to a different scene altogether. Raze was now holding onto the same blonde man, his body completely different, in contrast to what it was before. He was almost skin and bones, his face was sunken in, and he had scabs all over. In his body, there were several needles all over the place.

"It was the Cromber Guild; please help them," the man said, with his last words.

Raze had come back to where he was, his hand by the side of his head for a moment.

"The Cromber Guild... they had the whole town of Electra under a type of magical drug. One that would make you feel stronger in the moment, but zap away your powers after. Losing one's magical power made them desperate, willing to do whatever the guild asked. The people there, they had gone mad... so the Dark Magus got rid of them all."

The woman no longer had a tensed fist, as it fell by her side, and she stood there in amazement.

"You're right... you're right," she replied, her voice shaky. Now she knew it; this person had to be telling the truth.

However, Raze was left wondering how, how did this woman know about the truth behind his attack? In fact, in nearly all of the Dark Magus' televised and newsworthy events, there was a reason for them all.

"I have one question," the hooded man said in the back. "It seems we have confirmed who you are, so I want to ask, who are the enemies of the Dark Magus?"

"To the world?" Raze replied. "They might have said Enaxx. He was the government's figurehead, the pretty poster boy. They lived to televise that it was the Dark Magus against him, but that's not true at all. The Dark Magus' enemy is every single one of the Grand Magus, all five of them."

Hearing that response, the hooded man couldn't help but start clapping in joy.

"Excellent! Excellent!" he shouted as his voice echoed through the halls like a madman, followed by a string of laughter.

'Out of the two of them, he might be one that I need to worry about a bit more,' Raze thought to himself.

At that moment, the hooded man stepped forward and got down on one knee, his fist in the ground. Seeing this, the woman had decided to do the same.

"You said that you are a creation of the Dark Magus, and there is a reason for you being here. We are a group that was created all because of the Dark Magus, so we will help you in any way possible. What is it that you need us to do?"

Although the man was speaking for both of them, the woman seemed to have no objections.

Raze's plan had worked, and now it was how exactly he would use these followers, to help his overall goal of taking down the Grand Magus.

"Tell me, does this groups of you dark magic users have a name?"

"No we do not, as we a group that operates in the shadow's we didn't think it was needed."

"A group with no name, is a group with no power." Raze answered, "And we need power, to take down the Grand Magus, let's mark today as the creation of the force that will take down the Grand Magus, the creation of the Dark Guild."
