Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 991: Raze is not the enemy!

With everything that had happened, Brack felt like the best decision was to leave Belilʼs body as it was. He figured it had to have strong Qi left inside it to the point it wouldnʼt start decomposing just yet, and at the same time, because of the area they were in, no beasts would come after it.

After when Raze was better, then maybe they could figure out what was best, because he feared bringing Belilʼs body back to the Neverfall Clan would incur a bunch of questions which he didnʼt really have the answers to.

It turned out that now, that situation was unfolding right in front of him, his worst nightmare.

ʼThese two donʼt like me enough as it is, and now they stumble across this, what can I even say!ʼ Brack thought.

Fing was stood up, his hands were by his head, it was quite clear he was having some type of meltdown. Loss was difficult for many, but usually in the case of Pagna warriors, death was treated slightly differently as it was expected at any time.

The reaction that Brack was seeing now was worrying, as it was the reaction of those that deeply cared for a person.

Meanwhile, Han was knelt down and seemed to be doing a few checks on Belilʼs body.

”Heʼs dead… he truly is dead. There is no pulse anywhere in his body, it seems it has been this way for quite a while, and even the Qi in his body is incredibly weak, almost everything has been drained out of him.”

Han didnʼt say it out loud, but he wondered how that was even possible? Unless there was a fight of some kind that had pushed Belil truly to the edge. If that was to happen though, wasnʼt the landscape too clean? More land, more of the area should have been destroyed, and in the first place, was there anyone alive in the whole of Pagna that could even do that to him?

Han then stood up next to his brother.

”Itʼs true what you said, heʼs dead, father really is no longer alive, what does that mean for the clan then, what does that mean for us… and who did this to him, who!” Fing shouted.

Han only looked ahead in a particular direction, and past Brack they could see another individual on the floor, who appeared to be in a weak state. However, unlike their father, they were alive.

”It was the Dark Magus, it had to be right!” Fing said. ”Father and the Dark Magus were going out, the two of them were planning to have a fight, it had to be him that was responsible for this.”

”Wait, wait, I think you got it all wrong!” Brack said, raising his hands in a panic.

He could see how the two had come to the conclusion. Anyone would have, and the reality of the situation, which he didnʼt understand himself, would be even harder to believe than the thoughts the two brothers had.

”Wait, wait, I think you got it all wrong!” Brack said, raising his hands in a panic.

He could see how the two had come to the conclusion. Anyone would have, and the reality of the situation, which he didnʼt understand himself, would be even harder to believe than the thoughts the two brothers had.

”Itʼs true the two of them fought, but your father and Raze ended up like this after the fight. Your father did something to Raze and then… he… he ended up like that. I went back to the city to try and get supplies to help Raze… but your father, he was already gone.”

”SHUT UP!” Fing said, and a wave of Qi left his body and swept toward Brack. If he wasnʼt a middle-stage warrior, he was sure he would have fallen on his backside just from this Qi alone.

”Your friend went too far, and killed our father. Killing the head, he is an enemy of the Neverfall Clan. Stand aside and I will get rid of him!” Fing shouted, his hand on his gourd ready to fight at full force.

Brack needed to think. Raze wasnʼt able to fight in this state, and if he was to go up against both of them it would be impossible, even if it was just one of them it would have been impossible.

”You might not believe what I said, but shouldnʼt you follow the Demonic Way anyway!” Brack pleaded. ”The strong have the right to rule. If you really think Raze was responsible for all of this remember he is part of the Neverfall Clan as well.

”If he defeated Belil, then it shouldnʼt matter right, shouldnʼt you respect the result of what happened, and not attack Raze while heʼs in this state while heʼs weak!”

When Brack said these words, he had used his eye contact mostly on Han, who seemed to be more of the sensible one between the two of them. He was pleading with him to make some sense.

”I canʼt believe that Belil was rightfully bested. Especially based on the situation. Raze, the Dark Magus, is also a member of the Dark Faction, I cannot rule out that he used some underhanded tactic to defeat our father.” Hanʼs hand then started to shake.

As Belil said to Raze before, maybe he had made a mistake raising these two boys, but they were more attached to their father than they themselves realized. Always on his order, always trying to do something for their father to be proud.

They didnʼt feel like they were members of the Neverfall Clan. Instead, just sons of Belil. Wherever he went, they wanted to go as well. With him gone, and no guidance, what were they supposed to do?

Right now, all of their anger was faced toward one person that was present and on the ground. So much that neither of them could really think straight.

”Therefore, the Demonic way of strength above all is not valid in this situation!” Han stated. ”If Raze is truly strong enough to take on our father, then even in the state he is now, he should be able to best the two of us!”

Now it was from Han that a wave of Qi had come out and spread, hitting Brack.

At the same time, Brack made a promise to himself as well, no matter what, he would protect Raze. He would stand here and stop these two from getting close to him.
