Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 944  Punishment For Losing

Seeing Belil's hand reach toward him, Raze had an idea of what was coming next—the extraction technique. In the first place, it was a technique that had come from the Demonic Faction.

Those at higher stages, considered prodigies, could use it at a great speed. It wasn't practically useful in a fight, but after defeating an opponent, it could help one increase in strength dramatically.

When Belil's hand pressed on Raze's chest, he could see the veins on Belil's hands start to bulge, and something from within began to be lifted.

'I've lost the fight… I have no more mana, I can't even lift a finger. I can forget about taking any type of Qi pills to give me another chance, but that would all be useless anyway.'

In truth, Raze could only think of two things that might have been helpful in the current situation: for his body to be so close to death that he would perform a breakthrough.

As for the second thing, it was for the Bloody Woman to come and protect him.

'I… can't do it… I'm so angry. I'm so angry at myself!' Raze thought. The only thing he could muster up were his thoughts. 'I didn't even get to take one of them out yet—not a single one of them for everything they did!'

'I was so close, I was so close to having the strength to face them. If I were to meet them again, I would have gotten rid of them all, and now here is where I have to pass.'

In his last moments, memories started to appear—of Sabrina and Jake, the people he cared about still in Alterian. But then, strangely, other images started to appear in his mind.

Harvey from the police station, and Kelly, the student who had helped him as well. Finally, all those in Pagna appeared in his mind.

Coming up one after the other, their faces, their smiles, and the start of this whole journey filled his mind.

'I never really did have a moment to enjoy the now with them. I wonder why I'm thinking so much about them now?' Raze thought.

"Good," Belil said. "I can tell you really have nothing left in you. You drew out every little bit of power you had, and you still couldn't beat me. Which means you've become a complete failure.

"Bofan was wrong, as I expected he would be."

The veins continued to bulge on Belil's hands, and Raze was wondering, why wasn't his body changing? The fighting feeling from within him had gone, and instead, the new feeling was somewhat…nice?

The feeling now, it was the same as when he would use the extraction technique. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It can't be?" Raze said. "Are you… giving me my energy?"

As time went on, Raze grew more certain—energy was being fed into him, and it could only be coming from one person. Yet this made no sense.

If Belil left Raze alone, he would eventually recover, and the fight was lost long ago. There was no need for Belil to go this far, so why was he doing it now?

"As I said, you didn't win, which means you aren't strong enough. Bofan's gamble was that at some point, someone would come to this world in a similar situation as him."

"Who knows what would have occurred, but he hoped that maybe, just like him, they would fall in love with the world of Pagna."

"If that did happen, and they found out the truth, then maybe they'd try to protect it. However, he was wrong. Someone did come along, but they weren't strong enough."

"Bofan's plan failed!"

'Protect Pagna?' Raze thought.

He didn't want to protect Pagna. Maybe there were some people he cared about, but he just wanted to get back to Alterian. Somehow, his goal had simply aligned with Bofan's.

"Bofan was an optimist. Someone coming along just like him? A skilled mage like him, a powerful warrior like him, and someone as smart as him able to do all of that? And within a certain time, it would be impossible."

"Even if someone did, why would they fight for Pagna? I don't know your reason, but you seem to be going up against Alter, and that's good enough for me."

"Anyway, I had an inkling that Bofan's plan would fail. So I decided from that day on, when he disappeared, to make his wish a reality. I decided that I would become his backup."

"Right now, what I'm doing with you is the backup plan because you failed to best me."

Raze was slowly coming to a realization from all the words that had been spoken before. But would someone really do such a thing? Would someone do that for him when they hardly knew him?

"It seems you figured it out. I'm going to give you all of my energy," Belil explained. "This is different from the extraction technique where you just take a portion of my power."

"I'm giving you everything I have. Your Qi will become just as strong as mine, you will have the strength to take out anyone who gets in your way, and you will still have your magic powers!"

"You will become the person that Bofan wanted in this world. My energy is vast, so I needed you to use every last bit of energy in your body, to use everything you had so I could place mine inside you instead."

"It's still going to hurt because it's going to force your body through things it's not ready for yet, but it's the only way."

After hearing everything, Raze only had one question as he learned this.

"Is it the same consequence as the extraction technique? You doing this… will you lose your life?" Raze asked.

There was a moment of silence from Belil, it made Raze wonder what was he contemplating, this wasn't an answer but then he finally spoke.

"Just shut up and let me do the speaking. While I explain everything and what's going to happen in the next two days." Belil said.
