Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 866  Trust Zon?

In the Dark Faction Academy, panic had taken over the outer area. Those who lived near the academy walls had decided to move back, some even leaving their homes. They moved further toward the outer areas of the city, and some who lived on the edge, hearing rumors of what was happening, were already leaving, rushing along the great bridge.

However, there was one individual running through the city, heading toward the academy, entering any place he could. Turning right, Skyler rushed into a local tailor shop. He could see several people sitting at the back, some hiding behind the machinery in the room.

In one corner of the room, a person dressed like a student lay covered in blood. Cloth was draped over his eyes, his body unmoving, and Skyler couldn't sense an ounce of Qi coming from him.

"Is there anyone here who is a physician or has at least been an assistant before?" Skyler asked.

A woman slowly raised her hand, and an older man standing by the child on the ground also stood up.

"I am a physician. Unfortunately, I couldn't save this young one's life. Is there someone else in the city who needs help?" the old man asked.

Skyler clenched his fist at this moment. "Not the city itself, the academy," Skyler answered. "The injured students have all come from the academy, but there are bound to be those still inside who are still breathing and need help!"

The woman who had raised her hand quickly pulled it down, and the man looked away, sweat running down the side of his face.

"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you were willing to help? Let's go!" Skyler said, turning to the door, but he noticed there were no footsteps following him. He turned back around.

"I am sorry, but to tell us to go to the academy… From what we've heard from the students and even the teachers, other powerful Pagna warriors have been dealt with. If we head inside, our lives might be taken as well."

"That's even more reason why we have to go!" Skyler shouted. Zon had given him this task before he left, and Skyler knew how important it was.

Zon relied on him, likely because he was in an intense fight and wouldn't be able to help the people. This was an important task. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Look, I'm a skilled warrior. If we head in there, I promise to protect you. And besides, I know it—someone is dealing with the intruder right now! Someone strong enough to get rid of him!"

"Really?" One of the women asked with bright eyes. "Who is it?"

Skyler took a step back. What was he meant to answer? The head chef of the perfect noodle shop? People would think he had gone mad.

So he could only come up with one answer.

"The Dark Magus. The Dark Magus is dealing with them. I was asked to gather as many of those that can help, so we need to head to the academy as quickly as possible and gather as many that can assist."

The others didn't know the Dark Magus well, as Raze had stayed somewhat hidden since he had taken over. But the simple fact that he was now the leader of the Dark Faction gave them hope.

"All right… let's go," the woman said.

Skyler, with a smile on his face, left with the two. On the way to the academy, they visited several places, trying to gather as many people as possible.

'Using the Dark Magus's name like I just did might get me in serious trouble, but I don't care! I have no loyalty to the Dark Magus; all my loyalty is to Zon! I will do as he says so he can kick whoever this sick f*ck is!' Skyler thought as he continued to run.

In the large courtyard that connected all of the academy buildings, the students were hidden behind pieces of flooring that had been lifted and wedged into the ground. Amir was present, hiding with a large number of the students, around twenty or so of them.

Meanwhile, out in the courtyard itself, stood Raze, the Dark Magus, and a mysterious person who had just appeared in white garments filled with cooking stains on the front.

"What the… isn't that a chef's uniform? What is a chef doing on the battlefield?"

"It's quite obvious that's not an ordinary chef; he just came out of a portal!" another student commented.

Lifting his hand out, red energy condensed from the palm of Zon's hand until a thin red sword, appearing to be made from the same strange red substance, was formed in his grip.

"So you decide to make this a two against one?" Scar said. "You have no shame, do you?"

Scar started to fire bullets from his handguns. He didn't stop firing, one after the other, until both magazines were empty.

As the bullets came at Zon, he moved his arm, which appeared as nothing more than a blur. It was a supernatural speed, knocking all of the bullets away.

Raze looked at the bullets and could see they had been carefully deflected to the ground. Some of them were partially melted, and all fell to the side.

"What are you still doing here?" Zon asked. "You called me for help, to deal with this one, right? Isn't there somewhere you need to be? Somewhere you're needed a lot more than right here?"

"This person, they're strong," Raze said. He had still yet to use the full extent of his abilities and had also figured out a way that he might be able to catch Scar.

He had summoned Zon so they could deal with the Deleter quickly, allowing him to head to the Demonic Faction.

"Do you not trust me? I thought the fact that you called me here meant that you trusted me to deal with something like this. If you don't trust me, then there is no need to call me again," Zon exclaimed.

Hearing Zon's confident words and seeing his actions from before, Raze felt like he had no choice in the matter.

"Very well, then I will leave this to you!" Raze said as he rushed off, heading back into the main academy building.
