Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 221 Death Flag

The dark shadow was consuming her and all the energy around her. For some reason, she was unable to take her eyes off it, and yet, it felt like the shadow was drawn to her as well.

Not just Raze, but a pair of invisible eyes were heading toward her. It was the first time since she had met the new Raze that she truly felt scared of him.

”Stop now!” Raze said again, still seeing her bottom lip quivering.

Safa did as he intended and gave a hard blink. When she opened them again, the magic she was controlling dispersed back into the air. The image in front of her was gone, and the sixth sense she could feel from before was no longer tingling with fear.

”You have been granted a gift,” Raze stated. ”Not everyone who practices light magic will get what we call God Eyes. This is one of the many reasons why people think light magic is the closest to godʼs power due to the benefits people are able to achieve.

”For yourself, you are able to more vividly see the flow of energy around you. It will allow you to cast spells quicker and know the flow of magic before itʼs even used. You will even be able to tell the magic core of others before they use any magic at all.”

Safa now understood why she could see Razeʼs magic but wondered if he knew it radiated that much from him as well.

For Raze, as he was explaining out loud, he realized something. The God Eyes might have been quite the gift for him and his group. Because now they could tell who knew magic and who didnʼt. It would allow them to see their core, but the main issue was, it was hard for Safa to speak freely, and Raze had promised her that he would help her fix her voice.

”About your voice. Depending on how you lost it, there is a chance that it can come back,” Raze started to explain while pointing to his own throat. ”If this was the way you were born, then unfortunately, there is nothing you can do, but if it was due to some damage, then we will be able to do something about it.”

Hearing this, Safaʼs facial expression had changed into a huge smile, which made him think that it was most likely the latter.

”Since youʼre already used to gathering magic with your eyes, I want you to continue doing the same. Activate your God Eyes, but donʼt push yourself. If you feel strain or headaches, then stop. Thatʼs your body naturally telling you itʼs reached its limit. The same if you start to feel exhausted and tired,” Raze continued.

”With God Eyes activated, I then want you to continue moving magic about, try to use the God Eyes to your advantage, and flow the magic towards the area in your throat. This will get you used to controlling magic. When you can control enough, I will teach you a spell, and hopefully, it will be the end of your mute days.”

Hearing this, even the boys listening at the back were quite excited. ”Hey, I bet sheʼs going to sound like some type of goddess! I mean, sheʼs even got that strange power, God Eyes, so she must have the voice of a god, right?” Liam said, getting excited and nudging the side of Simyon.

”Hey, she canʼt speak, sheʼs not deaf; she can hear everything youʼre saying,” Simyon replied, but he was a little red-faced as well, as he too was imagining what it would be like to hear Safa speak.

It didnʼt seem like the others had things to do, same with Raze, who wasnʼt up for exploring so much after coming back from what he had come back from. At the moment, he was just waiting for Dame.

He still had no idea what to do with Crimson Craneʼs offer and wanted to speak to Dame a bit more.

So they were all intently watching Safa; she soon closed her eyes, and when they opened, the color of her iris had changed again. The first thing that had managed to catch her attention again was the darkness surrounding Raze.

Thankfully, he was standing further away this time, and was close to the other side of the wall, but she did notice something, and it was while she had this power active the shadow was creeping toward her.

It was almost as if the power that surrounded Raze was conscious of her. Because only when she had activated her God Eyes was it creeping towards her, and the shadow was forming into shapes she recognized as well.

She was even wondering if it was her mind that was playing tricks on her. While looking at Raze, though, she soon noticed something else.

Although it was hard to see his figure while using the God Eyes due to all the darkness around him, she could see a slight outline, and thatʼs when she could see strange shades of red energy as well.

They were condensed in an area, they were swirling around, and slowly the outline of the condensed energy was becoming clearer to her. The energy looked almost human in shape, but it was behind Raze.

As she focused even more, she could see there was one large dangling arm that reached over Razeʼs left shoulder, it was reaching down towards his waist. Then the other hand, it was raised up in the air.

Finally, there was a head, no, a face that was right by Raze, just floating. She was unable to see any details such as eyes or anything like that. When she saw this, a thought had crossed her mind because she had seen it too while she was cultivating, that time, it looked like the same bloody woman.

At that moment, she was starting to wonder why there were so many things trying to kill her, or trying to kill her and her brother.
