Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 976: Raze’s Second Day

Brack had left Raze alone in a place where hardly anyone passed. It was a secret location that was known only to Belil-a place he would frequent and practice his own martial arts. It was void of life due to the powerful disturbance of Qi that would be used frequently.

Now, no life was present there; no grass or greenery was able to grow, and animals and even the few beasts that did roam Pagna didn't come close. So Brack was pretty sure that Raze would be okay there and that he wouldn't run into anyone, but he wasn't so sure about Raze himself.

It was in the middle of the night; it had taken him a long time to deliver the message, and now he was on his way back to Raze. He had taken a few wrong turns at times as he wasn't quite sure of his way back.

'Why did I have to rush off? I was trying to get back and help Raze as soon as possible that I didn't even make note of where he was.' Thankfully, with Brack now being a middle-stage warrior, he didn't really tire.

After relentless searching, he could see the large uprooted ground which had created a stadium that appeared to have been created from nature. Rushing over, he had quickly scaled one of the large rocks and then slid down toward the crater. He jumped from where he was and landed right by Raze's side.

The moment his feet touched the floor, he could feel the inside of his toes tingling even through the shoes.

'Is this Qi that I can feel... and the floor feels hot as well.' Brack quickly shook his head. 'I need to focus.' He knelt down by Raze's side and looked at him.

He was on the ground, still but his muscles were moving. The veins on his forehead and on his arms were bulging and twitching constantly. When Brack went to touch his skin to try to see if everything was fine, he could feel his body was burning hot to touch.

"Seriously, what did Belil do to you?" Brack asked.

However, unlike before where Raze was able to say a few words and speak, his eyes were closed shut and his mouth was clenched in pain. So he couldn't say anything.

"I managed to pass on that item you gave me, all is well so you have no need to worry about that, but I have to focus on you. What do I do?" Brack tried to massage Raze's muscles for a bit.

But his hands were burning as he did, and the strange energy was somewhat feeding into him. At times he felt like his own energy was being drawn in as well. For around an hour, Brack tried several things but none of it worked, and Raze was still in the same state as he was before.

'How long is he going to be like this?' Brack thought. 'Has he been like this, in pain this whole time while I was away as well? With no food or water, or herbs, maybe I should try and do something at least.'

Brack was kicking himself for not bringing anything with him that could have helped Raze, but the good thing was, at least he would be able to head to the town nearby rather than heading all the way back to the Dark Faction.

The closest town though was a town close to the Neverfall Clan. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Belil's body. It was just lying there on the floor still in place.

"I need to do something about that as well. I can't just leave it like that; it will rot, right? But I can't exactly bring it to the Neverfall Clan with me as well, there's just going to be so many questions... maybe Raze will know what to do."

It was then that Brack had decided it would be best to deal with one problem at a time. Carrying the Neverfall Clan leader's body wouldn't be a good idea, and hopefully there would be some type of Qi still left protecting his body, so the worst wouldn't happen.

With that, Brack was off once again.

"Raze, you helped me, and right now I'm the only one that knows about you like this. I'm going to help you!" Brack rushed off as quick as he could, heading back in the direction of the Neverfall Clan.

Due to how much time had passed, the sun was already rising, signaling that it was the start of the next day. It had been a long time and it was hard to believe that Raze would still be at the same spot but Brack had to believe.

Using all of the coin he had on him, in the small town that he had entered he had bought whatever he could: buying herbs, bandages, and more, and he even went in to try and buy Qi pills as well.

'I didn't even buy Qi pills myself to increase my cultivation and they have a hefty price tag, but it should be fine.'

"Do you have any Qi pills that help with healing?" Brack asked in the shop.

The shopkeeper started to rub his hands, and then out from behind the counter he placed a Qi pill out on a bed of felt. A red pill was seen shining in place, and marked onto the Qi pill there was the marking of **DM**.

"This here is said to have the best healing properties and is a special pill made by the Dark Magus himself!" the man said.

There was a sighing look of defeat on Brack's face. The best pill that the shop had for healing was made by the person that needed healing. Wouldn't Raze have already used something like this, if one thought it was going to work?

It was the last of his coin and although reluctant and seemingly stupid, Brack had to buy it just in case anyway. With several supplies tied up in a rucksack and placed on the end of a stick, Brack was running out of the city.

Unaware though, in the city there were two individuals following him.

"He's on the move," Fing said.

"Right, something is definitely up with Father, and the fact that Brack isn't with the Dark Magus. We need to keep close to him and see what happens," Han added.
