Dark Magus Returns

While Safa and Simyon were busy resting, Liam was watching Raze with amazement. He was focused as he looked at the magic circles and the strange runes and symbols that were drawn.

Of course, he didn't understand any of it, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make sense of what the symbols would mean even if he saw them repeated over and over again. To him, it might as well have been a language from another world.

His eyes continued to be glued as he saw, out of the ingredients, several Qi pills had been created.

Out of the group of the level 1 power stones, Raze had created ten Red Pills, ten Blue Pills, and ten Green Pills. All of these were made with basic magic rather than Dark magic, so their effects weren't as strong, but at the same time, there were no downsides.

After that, he had created ten more Uncommon Blue Pills, still using the level one power stones. This time he had used Dark Magic. This item was his big seller because it allowed a person to restore all of their mana or Qi for up to a minute, and it only required a level 1 power stone.

Due to the new technique he had used, he was able to create all of these things at an incredible speed.

"The uncommon blue cursed pill, I'll keep one for myself," Raze thought. "It can be extremely helpful if the situation needs it."

Once in a while, Raze would look at Liam to see if there was a change in his reaction, but he just continued to stare at Raze as if he was watching a TV show. He was thankful because it meant there were no sudden portal openings.

"It seems like the main issues occur when I reach a new star level or when a powerful item is created," Raze contemplated.

Raze looked at the sack in the corner, along with his swords that had been propped up. There was the Red necklace, the pair of golden earrings, and a pair of black gloves.

"It might be best to wait until we're in another dimension to enchant those, on top of the four swords."

Thinking about this, Raze wanted to use the level 2 power stones as well. So he placed aside 7 level 2 power stones to be used for enchanting in the future. Maybe he didn't even have to wait until they were in another dimension but just not here in the inn of all places.

This left him with 20 level 2 power stones left. With these, Raze went ahead and started to create specialized Qi pills.

He had created a Red, Blue, and Green one like he had before, and their effects were just even more powerful compared to the last, with no additional effects. But he also wanted to test his new type of magic, so he went ahead and created another pill with his Ice attribute.

When the pill was made, it had a light blue appearance with the marking of DM on it.

[Upon taking the pill, the user is resistant to the outside energy of others for 1 minute]

"From the test that I have done before, the cursed magic at the higher levels tends to have a large drawback in terms of Mana. If I created a red pill that had greater healing, it would take a large amount of mana of the user."

"Now that I'm using my magic more in fights, this isn't worthwhile to me. Besides, the effects are minimal in terms of healing without using light magic."

Thinking this, Raze had created two different types of pills using his Dark Magic, and in doing so, he had created a Rare Light blue pill.

It had the same effect as the other blue pill, but as he suspected, the drawback was the amount of mana it would take when consuming the pill. In turn, he would be resistant to other energies for 5 minutes.

Then Raze made another blue Qi pill, and it was the same, instead of one minute of restoring all of the user's mana, it was three minutes instead.

"I guess this is better, but it isn't an unlimited amount of mana use; it only restores the user's mana so I could still run out in those three minutes. Either way, for now, it's better to just make more regular Qi pills and have the same effect."

Keeping one of each type of pill, Raze would use it on himself if need be. This was always his plan in case he met with someone that was difficult to deal with. Then with the rest, he continued to make the pills, and finally, he was done.

Looking out of the window, the dark sky was out, but it hadn't gone past midnight yet.

"I finished quicker than I thought I would have done," Raze smiled to himself.

"It's amazing," Liam commented. "You made so many Qi pills in such a short amount of time, and I can tell a lot of them have the same amount of energy as a 20-year Qi pill. This is all just so amazing, man. You're going to become filthy rich with this!"n-/0In

With a smile that was exactly what Raze was hoping for, he decided to get some sleep along with the others as he felt a bit exhausted.

When the morning sun rose, he stretched and readied several bags for the others. In one, it was all the pills that were to be delivered to Dame. In the other, Raze had decided to take the special items with him and placed them in his special robe.

He didn't tell the others where he was going, but before leaving, he looked at Safa. He would have left without a second thought before, but with yesterday's events, he wanted to make sure she was alright.

"Everyone, remember what I said, none of you practice cultivating," Raze stated and he was off to meet up with Reno.

Around an hour or so later, Simyon, who was now moving a lot better compared to before, along with the others, had gone downstairs to eat again.

"So did Raze say where he was going to go?" Simyon asked.

"No, he just left and told me to hand this sack to Dame when I see him," Liam answered.

"Wait, he's not with Dame, then I wonder what he's doing."

After finishing their meal, the three decided to head back to the Inn again, just to get a little more rest before possibly heading outside. If they couldn't train, then they could at least go exploring. But that's when they heard a knock at the door, and it was the special knock that they had come up with.

"I guess Raze came back quite fast," Simyon said as he went to open the door, but it wasn't Raze at the door.

"Ah, Simyon, you look to be moving better," Dame said, heading inside. "Where's Raze?"

"Wait, you don't know where he's gone either?" Simyon asked. "Well, he did make all the items that you wanted, though."

"I think those are our items," a female voice said from behind, and Alba soon entered the room. "So what's going on, has your Dark Magus friend gone missing?"
