Chapter 756 Where do we go now?

Chapter 756  Where do we go now?

The hair continued to shorten around Raze, reverting to its original length. The color also began to disappear, turning back to white, and all the other features, including the blood that had clung to Raze's cheeks, disintegrated as if they were made of energy.

For a brief moment, Raze's mind was no longer taking a back seat. He was at the forefront, back in control of his body. The entire time he had witnessed what was happening, he felt like he might have been able to fight against the blooded woman who had taken over. However, he had allowed her to take control, thinking it was the best way to avoid interference, yet foolishly, he still ended up in this state.

While in control of his body, Raze could see Safa and a few others, including Rayna, running toward him.

He looked at the Lux Sword on the floor as his vision started to fade.

"At least you listened to my last suggestion. Safa, I will have to leave my body to you, because this damned woman didn't look after it."

"If it wasn't for me, you and all your friends would have been killed by the Hybrid," the blooded woman said, and those were the last words Raze heard before completely passing out.

When they reached him, Safa held Raze's head, lifting it off the floor, and immediately started to use the restoration skill.

"Safa, be careful. I know we want to look after and protect Raze, but don't drain yourself completely!" Simyon warned, knowing full well Safa had already pushed herself several times.

"I can't!" Safa shouted back, her hands already glowing. "He's not only suffering from the effects of those pills but the wound on his chest as well."

Safa still had her special god eyes activated and could sense the energy around him was incredibly weak.

Bargo from the Moon Shield Clan picked up the Lux Sword from the ground.

"I think he needs you to use this." Bargo said. "This sword has strong healing properties. I imagine at his last moments he summoned it, and when he mentioned you, there was a reason for it."

In her haste, Safa hadn't realized it, but she could now see there was a large amount of energy coming from the sword, and it felt similar to her own Light energy. Bargo didn't know this; he just knew its effects because of the person who had used the weapon before Raze.

Rayna, coming by Raze's other side, touched his hand, closed her eyes, and started to focus.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm passing on my energy to him as well. We both need to do whatever we can to keep him alive," Rayna stated.

Safa didn't know much about this woman in front of her, but she knew one thing from the look in her eyes and the actions she had taken: she cared for Raze, and that was enough for her.

After grabbing the Lux Sword, Safa felt a burst of energy from her entire body, mainly around her heart. The sword's glow grew in size and retracted as if the sword itself was breathing. She could feel it; her Light magic powers were far stronger, and even her own fatigue was starting to fade away. Now she was more confident as she poured more of her magic into Raze.

"You're going to be okay, you're going to be okay," Safa said to herself.

While everyone who could help was already giving aid to Raze, Anna was thinking of something else. She was wondering when Raze woke up if it would be him or the person controlling him.

"Do you think we'll be fine when he wakes up?" Anna asked, looking to her right, but soon noticed that Zon had completely disappeared from her side. "Where did he go?"

This time Zon hadn't escaped too far off; he intended to stay. Now that he had seen Raze's strength, he was sure this person could help him. Right now, he was underground, where the artifact once was. Zon looked ahead and could see a large amount of rubble blocking a path, a path that wasn't linked with the rest of the architecture of the underground place.

"I can tell that it was made in haste and destroyed recently. The Light Faction members from before must have caused all of this. Judging by how long ago they left, I could catch up to them if they took a straight path, but they could be in any village or town and they know the Light Faction better than anyone. That isn't the best choice right now."

Seeing this, Zon climbed on top of a bunch of rubble that reached a crack in the ceiling that led to the arena floor. He then extended his hand out and simply pushed part of the arena flooring up. Jumping up, Zon soon returned to the arena floor and could see everyone still gathering around Raze.

Zon walked over and stopped just shy of where Raze was with Rayna and Safa, not wanting to appear threatening to them.

"We need to hurry and get out of this place," Zon said. "The Light Faction could be here at any moment. More than likely, wherever Raze sent them, they would have sent a team to reach us as soon as possible. On top of that, the Light Faction members who were here have run off as well."

"Move, while Raze is like this?" Simyon asked.

"He'll be fine," Anna said. Her system was already showing signs that Raze's condition was nomalizing. His body no longer tensing up in pain, like it was moment's ago, and his breathing calming down. "And we can move as one group, but the real question is where."

Where did the group belong now after this? Where could they go? No one had a suggestion until one person spoke up.

"I can take you all somewhere, and somewhere that will be safe for Raze as well," Amir said. "I will take you all to the Bonum Society."
