Dark Magus Returns

The trio had listened to Raze's story in a bit more detail from Harbour and the others. They learned of his great feat of even repelling one of the Demonic Faction Clans that had attacked the place.

Which in turn had later been the reason why the town of Flendon was left abandoned in the first place. It was interesting for all of them to hear what Raze had done, and just like their experience of him, sometimes he sounded like a hero, while other times he sounded like a villain, it just depended which side one was on.

After that, they had obtained information on where the closest Rylon Church was. In a nearby medium-sized town, that wasn't too far.

"You won't need to worry about the clan there," Bargo said. "They will listen to you before they listen to the Church even if they are a big organization. It's just the clans never want to deal with that stuff and sometimes they seem a bit crazy."

"Also, there's the rules of civilians and warriors not meant to get involved with each other." The three of them looked at each other nervously, knowing full well that Raze had taken out an entire kingdom. It was surprising that there was still no fallout from all of that.

Was it just a rumor about Divine beings descending from the sky for doing such a thing, and the kingdom itself had kept it under wraps, which was understandable.

With that information, the three of them were off, and due to how close the town was, they had decided to walk on foot rather than take a carriage.

Currently, they were walking through a forest talking about what was ahead.

"Safa, I was wondering if there is a reason you think Raze wanted to give that device to Anna, and not want the rest of us to get involved, because I feel like things might start to get troublesome," Liam asked.

"I'm not sure," Safa replied. "We know Raze has bigger issues to deal with, and for me, I feel like this is more a personal matter to begin with. It might be linked with why Raze had gone into the body of my brother."

"And, I want to find out the truth of what my brother was involved in himself. Maybe Raze asked Anna to do this, because he too wants to find out what is bothering him."

Safa was thinking about the strange aura she felt surrounding Raze back then. At one point it had even protected her, but why, what was it? How was it even linked to all of this, and the people that at one point had been after her and Raze's life.

"Oh oh oh look at what we have here!" A man had dropped right in front of their path. A man with next to no clothes covering his chest with a big sword being held over his shoulder, and he wasn't alone either.

Behind him there was a group of at least six people, and looking left and right, they could tell there were several in the trees as well.

"Come on!" Simyon said. "Bandits... really... I thought we were done with this."

"Three practically children are traveling on their own with no escort whatsoever," the head bandit said. "And it looks like you guys have some fancy equipment and some fat pouches with you."

"Should we just chop off his balls?" Liam asked, looking at the others.

"What so you can keep them as a trophy? Seriously man, I think you should see a therapist about your balls obsession, is it because you don't have any yourself?"

Safa sighed as the usual spat between Simyon and Liam had started again. This was the problem with traveling with the usual three.

"Are you seriously ignoring me now, a bunch of kids, I guess you have no idea how cruel this world can be!" The head bandit said, swinging his sword from the side, ready to strike all of them.

Until a metal clang sound was heard. The bandit had to blink twice as he didn't understand what was happening at all. He could see that one of the dark-skinned children had just lifted his hand and it was blocking the sword completely.

"You really tried to kill us," Simyon said as he reached towards the beads on his neck. Lightning from his glove started to emit, and then from the beads it linked to his earrings and his whole body was lighting up with blue lightning.

Simyon quickly moved from his position and pounded the head bandit right in the stomach. While he was in the middle of flying through the air, Simyon quickly went to all of the others and hit them with his fist.

Simple attacks caused bones to break, and the shock from his body caused them to fly far into the distance.

Simyon had dealt with the large group quickly, and when he turned around, he could see that Liam had also dealt with those that were in the trees.

His swords were floating above his back, and grabbing one he threw it at the tree hitting a person right in the chest and causing them to fall onto the floor.

"That's the last of them," Liam said.

"Right, I didn't think we would have to deal with things like that anymore, but I guess we don't have a name for ourselves like that of the Dark Magus," Simyon said.

"Ohh good point!" Liam said. "Why don't we come up with some nicknames to spread our name."

Safa walked past the bandits, and looked behind Liam and Simyon, seeing what they had just done. Maybe they didn't realize it, but they were incredibly strong.

The bandits were Pagna warriors, and they had dealt with them just like that with no trouble at all. With them always trying to catch up to Raze all the time, they felt like they were weak but it wasn't the case at all.

She had to remind herself that it was all of them that were stalling Sha Mo for as long as possible. However, Safa herself had done nothing just then.

Her powers with the spear and Light magic allowed her to heal the others from afar. She was fine with this because she thought she could still help Raze this way, using the power to help

him.

But seeing how Liam and Simyon had just performed, maybe she could use Light magic more offensively.

'The spear that I got was from the Rylon Religion. If they have items like this, then maybe there's a chance that they have more things that I can use as well.'

Looking straight ahead, as they exited the forest and stood atop a hill, they could see the town below, and a church located in the city. She was ready to find out the answers about her real brother, how Raze came to this world, the death of her family, and all about the bloody woman that followed them.
