Dark Magus Returns - Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170: The Answer He Didn’t Want To Hear
The large commotion and Qi that was flicking off in all directions had caught the attention of many of the warriors who were still out on the field.

And that included Raze himself. He had met up with Alba and the others on the way back. Learning about how they had managed to defeat one of the Deleters.

He had even heard who had done it in the end, and he had a good guess that Alba must have used her weapons.

Especially by the worried look on her face. He had made all of the cursed weapons for everyone in the end, so he knew all of the effects of them as well.

He had asked the group to rest up, even congratulating them and giving them all a few words of praise. He told them to head to the temporary housing area for now, as he had a plan to try and rally up all of the Demonic Clans but he wanted to talk to Rayna about it first.

What had come as a surprise to them all. Was the few words that Raze spoke just before they had left.

“All of you, did a good job. It’s good to know that you guys are by my side,” Raze stated.

A warm feeling was spread across all of their hearts. It made them wonder if this was the same Raze as they had met before.

His whole demeanor was changing, he was being more thankful and wasn’t demanding things in return for them.

It was almost as if Raze was starting to feel like a friend to them.

“Oh, one thing Raze, who’s the woman next behind you?” Alba asked, until she noticed the helmet that she was holding.

They all recognized the helmet, but they weren’t quite so sure if they were ready to know the answer.

“She’s no longer fighting for Alter,” Raze stated. “I gave her a red Qi pill so she could recover a bit, but don’t worry I’m keeping her close to me, she won’t do any harm, I won’t let her.”

Alba looked at the Deleter carefully, she had beautiful light brown hair, and large eyes, with a stunning small face.

If people didn’t know how deadly she was, they would have called her a beauty. That’s when Alba looked down at her own body and her assets that she had herself.

“Don’t worry,” Cornker commented. “You don’t lose out to her, and I don’t think Raze is giving her any type of special treatment.”

Cornker was pointing out the several wounds that were on her body. It was quite clear that they had a big battle until one had eventually lost.

Still Alba was curious about the helmet that she had, and whether her guess was right about the powers that it had inside.

As they rushed off, that was when Raze could feel the Qi and the commotion that was taking place in the distance.

He walked over, and he could hear the loud cries and shouts, and it was a voice he clearly recognized.

Since no one noticed him, Raze had to shuffle through the crowd of people until he could see Liam lying there on the floor, and Ricktor with his sword pointed at Liam’s neck.

He could feel that there was no intent from Ricktor, and the Qi had practically disappeared from his body, so he had come at the tail end of it all.

“What is happening here?” Raze asked.

Raze’s voice wasn’t spoken with anger, but clear curiosity, and although spoken quietly it had commanded a strange type of presence as they turned their heads to look noticing that it was the Dark Magus.

Many of the warriors bowed their heads down, but Raze ignored it as he carried on forward.

“Tch!” Ricktor kissed his teeth as he drew back his weapon into its sheath. “I think it’s better if you hear it from him what’s happened. I need to cool my head.”

As Ricktor went off, Mada had decided to join him. Eventually Raze had reached Liam who was on the floor, who had lifted the upper part of his body.

He was sat up right, on the ground not even looking at Raze, only having glanced at him.

“Are you going to explain what happened?” Raze said as he turned around and could see Dame and Safa next to each other, but as Raze went to meet them with eye contact, the two of them had turned their heads away as well.

Even worse, he could see that Safa had started to sob. Her shoulders were shaking and he noticed a tear drop falling to the floor.

“Raze I’m sorry…I’m really sorry, I guess it really was my fault,” Liam blurted out, his words a bit incoherent due to the sobbing in between but he could still make out what Liam was saying.

“I guess that’s why you trusted him, rather than me…I understand now, I really, really do understand.”

Looking at Liam, looking at the faces of those Raze was close to. The truth was starting to dwell on him.

All of the pieces were coming together which led Raze to ask one question.

“Where is Simyon…where is he?” Raze asked.

“Simyon…it should have been me,” Liam said as he punched the ground.

“Liam,” Raze called out. “Just tell me what happened, where is he.”

Liam taking one big breath and getting control of his breathing finally stood up, and was ready to tell Raze the truth.

Before Liam spoke, Raze’s mind went through various scenarios and he was reliving moments in the past.

He had countless of losses, and each time he had one he felt the situation couldn’t get worse.

He was hurt, even more with each loss he had made, and he realized the reason why, because his heart was getting mended by particular people before they were ripped out and breaking it all over again.

And the same thing had happened again, his heart was being mended by the people around him…and it was about to be ripped out again.

“Simyon’s dead,” Liam said.
