Dark Magus Returns-Novel

The words that had cout of Charlotte's mouth were the truth. After seeing what Raze was able to do, it was clear he had more knowledge than her. Even when he was a two-star mage, he had given her advice on how to combine her spells together, something that wouldn't normally be typical of a lower-star mage.

However, before asking him to be a teacher, she wanted to learn his true nature. Was it like people on Alterian said? All of those that practiced Dark magic were pure Evil, and there was no hope of them returning back? Yet, she was unable to ask that question first through fear.

"Teach you magic, your core is Wind-based magic correct?" Raze asked. "If that's the case then I know a few things. My family was always quite skilled at Wind magic so I studied it a lot growing up."

Right now, Raze was trying to establish a backstory for himself through conversation. These were complete lies, but was standard for a mage who had entered the Central Mage Academy, and one of good backgrounds that could explain quite a few things.

"That's great, I mean of course, we can't just practice out here, but from tto time, we can talk and discuss spells and such, and if we have a mission that requires us to enter another dimension, then I will respectfully take you as my teacher," Charlotte said giving a bow.

It was then she realized just like Harbour, she felt like she was talking to a senior mage rather than someone who was younger than herself.

The two continued to look through documents, and now Raze was the one that had glanced at Charlotte.

'She still hasn't said a word or askedabout the Dark magic I used. I wonder why she's trying to avoid the subject?' Raze wondered. 'If she keeps quiet that's good, but she would never suspectof being the Dark Magus, since the Dark Magus is an old man.'

"You two stop flirting and get over here," Anna said, holding onto a scroll that she had opened up.

"We're not flirting!" Charlotte replied with a red face, but Raze himself didn't deny it as the two of them walked over.

When looking at the scroll, Charlotte had noticed something instantly; on the scroll itself, there was a drawing of a Chalice, and it was the schalice that they had seen in the stone manor.

"A drawing of the Chalice, I guess this is how they managed to find the item in the first place or something," Charlotte commented.

"You were so focused on the drawing that you missed out the other main issue," Raze answered as he moved closer to the scroll and took it from Anna's hands.

Raze then pointed toward the writing above and below the drawing of the Chalice.

"Ah… it's Alterian! It's Alterian writing!" Charlotte exclaimed. "That document is in Alterian writing."

Both Charlotte and Raze started to read the descriptions and the words down. Anna had called them over for this reason exactly.

As Raze pulled the bottom part of the scroll, he noticed that there was also a drawing of something else, and it was something he had seen before as well.

It was the strange strapping that was wrapped around the mage in the chair, that was feeding blood into the Chalice.

After reading everything that was on the scroll now, Raze and Charlotte had an idea of what had occurred.

"I see now," Charlotte said. "These words are written as to what the Chalice is capable of doing. Both of them being special items.

"It's instructions on how to use them. The second drawing informs them that they must use the blood of one compatible for the Chalice to work."

"So all of those bodies that we saw in the room, were they those they tried to use the Chalice on?" Anna asked.

"It seems so, it doesn't give specific details as to what makes a person special, but judging by the fact that the Chalice had finally activated, it might be that they just needed a mage."

Raze thought that was quite the strange item. To summon a Pagna warrior from the Divine realm one needed a mage's body.

Maybe all of the Chalices were like this, or perhaps that was just the requirement of the equipment for just these two items.

Either way, he was finding more links between the world of Pagna and the world of Alterian which was worrying him somewhat.

Pagna had a deep history, so for how long were these two worlds even connected? At least over a hundred years, perhaps even longer.

While the two sides were living in their own worlds, they were greater powers at work.

"What I want to know is why the instructions are written in Alterian in the first place," Raze stated. "That means it was someone from Alterian that did this. The fact that it's written on this scroll, means that they intentionally were trying to inform the Pagna warriors of what these items did."

"You are right, but it's written in Alterian," Anna replied. "So if this got into Niang's hands, then how was he even able to decipher this to know what to do. Out of all of those in the Lethal Bite Clan, there was no one from Alterian."

This was certainly the case, at least there was no one that Raze had managed to notice.

"This is important information and news, but it looks like we won't be able to go further now that Niang is dead," Anna stated and looked at Raze when saying those words, as if it was his mistake for killing the other without finding out more information.

"I will keep this for now, and inform Himmy when he returns, out of everything I searched so far, there was nothing of interest that could help us," Anna claimed.

It seemed like that was it for the group, and they could spend the rest of the day as they were, but instead, Anna then looked Raze in the eye.

"Since it's the day of answering questions for yourself, then I think now is a good tfor you to finally answer my question.
