Dark Magus Returns

Raze's allies, or the Dark Magus's allies as Amir would refer to them to the rest of the Bonum Society, were settling in the Bonum Society's base. There was oddly a lot of empty space in the facility.

As the group explored, they realized that much of the base had never been used before. Part of the facility was covered in dust and had a slightly musty smell to it. It was a sign that the Bonum Society used to have better days, being a much larger organization than they were

now.

One of the rooms behind a metallic door had enough space to house everyone. There were plenty of beds that would be divided by curtains for necessary privacy, but other than beds and a few toilets for them to use, there wasn't much else in the room.

As the group waited for what was to come, they had a visitor from a hybrid named Chip. Dame assured them that he was fine and helpful to have. A special hybrid whose saliva had a healing factor.

This was used on all the members, allowing them to be as good as new. It wasn't just them; when Safa had healed up, she also helped out the other members. Raze was now asleep on a bed, and even with Safa or the hybrid, nothing they did seemed to wake him up.

"So what are we going to do now?" Cronker asked. "Are we really going to go after the remaining clans in the Dark Faction? I want to help Raze... he saved my life after all."

"He didn't just save your life," Rayna corrected him. "He saved all our lives."

"I think she's right about that," Dame said. "We saw the state and strength that Murkel had; no one had any idea what he was planning."

"To us, meeting up with Raze was a random occurrence, and I speak for myself as well as others, that we probably teamed up with him because we wanted to use him in certain ways."

Dame originally approached him because of his special power and the special creations he could make, and it was the same with the Crimson Crane.

"Through helping out each other, we were able to stop Murkel, who would have ended up killing all the students at the Dark Academy and waging a bloody war with the rest of Pagna."

"A replacement is needed for the head of the Dark Faction, but it's hard to do such a thing without knowing if it will help people that may become enemies with us in the future," Reno added his piece of information as well.

It was odd, but everyone had come together and figured out one thing. They all wanted to help out Raze, and the only reason they weren't so forward about this idea was that it could damage him as well.

"Can I ask something?" Alba said, looking at Safa. "What does Raze want... Why did he go up against the Dark Faction? Why is he even fighting in this strange world?"

"His items are selling like crazy on the market. If things continued and he laid low, he could have made a fortune and lived a big life. Why is he doing all of this?"

Although they all wanted to help Raze, this was where the real issue came up: help him with what?

"I...I..." Safa was stumped because she realized she didn't really know.

"We were never told," Simyon answered. "But from what I know, he's obsessed with gaining strength and moving forward. The academy was just something in his way, and Murkel was in charge of it."

"There is a bit more that we know, but it's not our place to say."

Anna could already guess what Simyon wanted to say, the fact that he was from another world, but nearly everyone could guess that already.

"I will tell you all one thing, if it makes it easier to make a decision," Anna said. "I... we can tell when someone is lying." Anna placed her hand across so it was covering Zon as well.

"And from what we could tell, Amir hasn't been lying. He really does want to make Raze the leader of the Dark Faction."

There were so many complications to doing something that seemed simple. For one, Raze's connection to Rayna, and the fact that they owned a piece of land in the Demonic Faction. What issues this would eventually cause.

It was up to them to decide, and that was when the first person spoke up.

"I'll do it," Liam said. "We were all useless back then; we barely were able to help when we had to go against the other clan members and Murkel's allies."

"I thought we had gotten stronger to help, but we still seem weak. If we can help take over the Dark Faction and it puts Raze in a better position, then it has to mean something."

"I agree," Ricktor said, coming forward. "Besides, I'm the rightful heir to the Erupting Fist Clan anyway, so it's only right that I show them everything I have, right?" Ricktor said, slapping Mada on the back.

It seemed like everyone was in agreement that they would work with the Bonum Society to take over the Dark Faction, all so when Raze woke up, he had a cushy position as leader of the Dark Faction.

A knock was heard at the door, and seconds later, the bald-headed man known as Olag entered, and behind him, there were a few other members that had filtered into the room.

"And here I was, half expecting you guys to be having one massive orgy, but sad times it is, sad times," Olag said.

Safa looked at Rayna, and both of them couldn't help but sigh in disgust at Olag's crude mouth.

"Now, Amir said if you guys agree to this whole thing, we need to set out in groups and do this quick and fast. Our time limit is when that kid wakes up, so it will be a nice surprise for

him," Olag stated.

"However, I don't want my people risking their lives going out with a bunch of weak warriors, so I want to put your skills to the test and see if you're strong enough."

Olag then walked over to one of the people that were standing with the group.

"For instance, what in the f*ck is this twat doing standing like this for?" Olag said, looking at

Zon. "Let's see what you got."

"Me?" Zon said. "I don't think that's a good idea."
