Dark Magus Returns

All of those that were wearing yellow had the small vials in their hands. They then placed them to their mouths and ripped apart the top with their teeth. Right after, they gulped down the contents inside.

"I have a feeling that those things aren't so good, so let's try and stop them!" Liam said as he cloned his sword, and then hurled it in the air right toward one of the men in yellow.

With Liam's Qi strength and also the nano robots in his body, the sword went through the air fast and was able to pierce and deal with next to no one.

When the sword got close to the man, his eyes glowed white, and expanding out of his body was great energy. It exploded and hit the sword causing it to flip and fall to the floor.

"What was that?" Liam asked.

Safa already had the answer.

"It's magic, they're using magic!"

The mages from all different directions lifted up their palms. Their eyes started to glow and beams of energy were shot out toward the trio. Quickly all three of them split apart, as they went to dodge the attacks.

Liam swung his sword hitting one of the large beams of energy and needed to use his Qi to push back against an attack, while another started to come his way. He had to quickly roll out of the way of the other incoming beam and due to them coming from so many different directions, he had no idea where to roll or how to even get close to one of the warriors.

"These beams, I have a feeling they're going to hurt quite a bit if they hit me!" Liam shouted. There was one person though that wasn't so much afraid of getting hit. He had activated his lightning body, ready to zap himself around the room to deal with each of them. When the beam of energy hit him though, the lightning aura around him started to disappear.

A burning sensation could be felt on the outside of his skin. However, he wasn't badly hurt. "What are these guys then, are they mages or what?" Simyon shouted, frustrated he decided to bear the burning sensation, and just ran toward one of the men.

One of the men was quite surprised and focused his constant beam on Simyon. Several of those close started to do the same, and pushed back Simyon's body with the beams.

His advance had eventually stopped and Simyon was screaming as he tried to push forward. "ARGHHH!!"

As for Safa, she was observing everything, while avoiding the beams as well, and eventually she took out her spear. She spun it in her hands as a beam of energy came from the front. When it hit the spear, the energy coated around it.

It almost looked like the spear itself had absorbed the energy, and she could feel even greater power in her.

'It is the same type of magic, it's Light magic, and the Lux Spear can do some impressive things, I wonder if it can do something similar back!'

Stopping the spin of her spear she then thrusted it forward and Light magic appeared out of the tip. She often used this power to heal others but now she was using it as a force.

It hit one of the robed men and lifted them off their feet until their body crashed into the wall causing them to pass out. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The other robed men had no clue what was happening and started to focus their attacks on Safa, but spinning her spear she was able to block them and redirected the energy blasts toward them.

This finally gave Liam a chance to use his swords in his throwing manner as well. Even attracting them to a fallen point from before.

Eventually, Simyon had pushed through and grabbed one right by the waist and ran into the wall with another, and then, there was only one left in the room.

Safa leapt from her position and reached the stage, she stabbed the spear right in the man's shoulder and pinned him upright against the wall.

"What is going on here right now? What is the Rylon religion doing!" Safa asked. "Why is it that you guys can use magic? What's going down in the underground basement."

The old man who had been stabbed in the shoulder, he just smiled and laughed, his eyes shined bright, and Safa could see it, his own magic from within him, it was burning him up inside, it was taking his own life.

"Our sacrifice is for the Sun God!" were the man's last words, before his life had ended.

"I thought I would get more answers," Safa said as she pulled out her spear, but wondering what had happened to the man, she tapped the side of her head and activated her god eyes once more.

She could see trails of magic not just coming from the man, but coming from every single one of the members that they had taken out. The trails of magic were leading down, to the same area she had seen before, they were going down to the basement.

"Come on, let's see what's going on!" Safa said, as she rushed ahead, and the two boys followed.

"Good work there, strong body man!" Liam chuckled. "I saw you managed to at least take one out."

"If Safa didn't do all of the work, then you would have taken none out," Simyon shouted back. Safa eventually led them to the staircase and they had quickly gone down the stairs. A foul stench wafted into their faces, a smell that they were familiar with before. Going underground, it was a familiar feeling to their past experience as well.

When they eventually reached the bottom, Safa raised her hand and Light magic was cast allowing them to see the whole scene.

"Just what were they... doing?" Simyon asked.

The underground basement was filled with bodies. Bodies had been piled up in the corner. Blood was splattered across the floor, as if they had been sacrificed. Then oddly there was a chair centered around the back.

If it was the first time the group had seen something like this, they would have struggled but, it wasn't the first time for them, but it still came as a shock.

As Safa moved forward, she went to the chair placed in the centre. There was a man sitting in the chair tied up, his life had already been taken from him, but she noticed something on the

ground.

"I've seen these before, in the books that Raze lent me. It's a magic circle." Safa said.

"What does it do?" Simyon asked. "What were they doing here with all of this?"

"I have no idea. Liam, can you make note of this magic circle every single detail? There's one person that will know what this magic circle will do."

"Raze right, maybe he can shed some light on what was happening." Liam said. "I'll make note of it, I'll be able to draw it perfectly again. But what are we going to do now, go back to the clan, head back to the academy and see if Raze is there."

"No." Safa answered. "It's clear the Rylon religion is up to something, that's obvious. I think we might be able to find more answers at the other churches. I want to head to my hometown, the closest church to my hometown. I'm sure we'll find answers then."

Just as they were leaving the place, Liam noticed something in the dark.

It was scratched out on one of the walls.

"Praise the Sun God, praise the Grand Magus...?"
