Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 95 Where Is My Reward?

Having met Dame and his group twice already, Raze wasnʼt so afraid of them, but he still stood on the side of caution. Unlike the past, he didnʼt activate his magic, ready to use it at a momentʼs notice.

Besides, who would call out to their opponent if they were planning to attack them anyway?

ʼI guess that woman from the Light faction would do that. I wonder if all of those from the Light faction are just as strange?ʼ

Dame and the rest had jumped down from the rooftops, and they had a smile on their faces. He was quite pleased to see the Dark Magus because now he knew who the mysterious person behind the beast killings was. They had less reason to worry about running into those from the Light faction now.

”It isnʼt our time to meet, so I have to be honest, Iʼm quite surprised to see you here,” Dame said.

”Do I have to have your permission to be here?” Raze immediately replied.

”No, you are quite right, but I thought that you might be worried about running into a few problems like the time before. Anyway, a meeting with you is always a pleasure. Is there anything specific that you are looking for in here? Perhaps me and my group can help?” Dame offered.

It had been a long time, an incredibly long time, since Raze had worked with another group. Although he had Safa and Simyon by his side, he imagined them as just add-ons that were following him.

However, Raze was actually hoping to meet Dame because he had quite a few questions he wanted to ask him.

”I actually wanted to ask you something,” Raze said as he made a fist, gathering his Qi from his dantian, and then threw it out. It looked like a strong blow, but there were no ripples in the air, nor was there a loud bang, somewhat showing what stage he was at.

”Oh!” Dame clapped his hands together in surprise. ”It looks like the gift I gave you last time actually managed to help you. Iʼll be honest; Iʼm actually surprised you were able to learn this, and so fast!”

The others were quite concerned seeing this as well. How could they teach an outsider their arts?

”I assume you want to build a relationship with me,” Raze stated. ”And I have grown quite interested in these arts. So I wanted to ask about this power, where does it come from, what type of power is it in your world, and is there more to it?”

A smile appeared on Dameʼs face as he went on to explain to Raze about the power of Qi. He had pretty much told the Dark Magus what he already knew: about how there were different stages, a dantian, and Qi.

He also went on to explain how the source of oneʼs Qi was different depending on what cultivation technique people used. Some of them were better at drawing energy than others, and in the conversation, Raze had found the answer he was looking for.

”The power that you have cultivated is from the Demonic faction, so you now have demonic Qi running through your body. You are able to learn whatever skills you wish in terms of martial arts.

”But Clans from the Demonic faction have perfected their skills to be used with demonic Qi best.”

Raze was quite happy that Dame had chosen not to hide this fact, but it could have been just because he assumed Raze was from another world. Either way, he would use this to get all the information he needed.

”So, if I have demonic Qi in my body, is there anything I should worry about?” Raze asked.

Dame chuckled. ”I guess the name demonic does make it sound a tad dangerous, doesnʼt it, but as you can see, all of us are friendly people.” Dame then let out a sigh. ”If you were from our world, you would have to worry about the other factions.

”They have a grudge against us due to what happened in the past. You see, demonic Qi is special compared to the others for two reasons. The first is the fact that the demonic Qi cultivation technique allows the user to grow the quickest. What may take ten years for other factions, our members can do in 1 year.

”However, the demonic Qi, if not properly regulated, can turn one into literal demons. The color of oneʼs skin will change, their eyes turning into solid black. Iʼm sure you felt it when you cultivated; the cycle of life and death allows us to connect with them.

”If one doesnʼt have a strong mind, which needs to be built up, it will take over oneʼs body. Unfortunately, a long time ago, our clan leader had become a demon and had nearly gotten rid of all of the factions, including our own, but I donʼt think itʼs anything you have to worry about.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After hearing the story, Raze now didnʼt know what to think of Dame. He had nonchalantly handed him such a book without explaining any of the details to him.

Perhaps, due to his past experiences, he didnʼt feel as affected by cultivating this way, but if it was another, it could have driven them to go mad.

He also believed that the other factions had a right to be worried about the Qi if it was dangerous, but it somehow suited him well. A Qi cultivation technique that others deemed too dangerous, just like his dark magic as well.

”Ah, that reminds me, while I have you, the potion that you gave me last time. The effects were splendid, and I actually have a client that would like to purchase more of it from you. Is that possible?” Dame asked, rubbing his hands. He was already imagining the riches he would receive from Alba.

Creating potions wasnʼt a difficult task for Raze, and since they were all made with level 1 power stones, these were the basic of basic potions. So he saw no problem, as he would keep the better stuff for himself. Perhaps he could even ask for higher-level power stones for doing such a thing for Dame.

”I can create more for you, but I would need to gather more materials, and I am in a bit of a tricky situation back where I am, in terms of getting them. Besides, if it worked, donʼt you owe me a reward?” Raze asked.

The book from before had helped him out leaps and bounds, and perhaps Dame could teach him more, teach him enough to protect himself from the other disciples.

Dame had his finger on his chin, tapping it several times until he snapped his fingers.

”Ah, I have an idea. Unfortunately, as you said, I donʼt have a reward for you since this was an unexpected meeting. However, maybe I have a solution that could solve your material problem and my gift.”

Hearing Dame speak, Fixteenʼs heart was starting to thump faster.

ʼNo, he isnʼt going to, donʼt tell me he is... he wouldnʼt be that crazy, right?ʼ

”Why donʼt you come back with us, come back to our world of Pagna?” Dame asked.
