Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 161 Fighting Statue

The three of them continued to stare into the fog for a while, still rubbing their eyes at what they could see. Why would anyone jump down into the endless pit of fog was beyond them.

Both Liam and Simyon had the same thought, wondering what reason they could have had to end their lives as they continued to stare down. That was when Simyon could feel someone tugging on his shirt, and it was none other than Safa.

She then slapped her head toward the two of them.

"I'm sorry Safa, but I don't think there's anything we can do to bring your brother back. Maybe someone threatened him to do this, that's why all that stuff was happening yesterday?" Simyon said.

Slapping her head again, she took out the spear that was on her back, and started to write on the ground for both of them to see. She wrote in large letters.

"Don't you think there's anything strange about Pink?" Simyon read out loud.

The two of them thought about it for a while, and Simyon had thought that Pink was strange for a long time, but it was Liam who had gotten to the answer first.

"Ah crap, yeah!" Liam said. "He was jumping all over the place, and he was doing it with such ease as well. There's no way that guy is just a stage 1 Pagna warrior!"

"Wait, you're right?" Liam said. "He was also fighting against two of the main disciples on his own, and he had done so perfectly right up to the last point. When Raze was ready to fight… does that mean he's actually been hiding his strength?"

"Who knows?" Liam shrugged his shoulders. "But he must be confident; Raze wouldn't just climb onto his back and jump down. He had to be confident that he would survive the fall, maybe he's really a stage 3 or 4 Pagna warrior or something."

It was a relief for them all. Now that they had figured out that it was unlikely that Raze and Pink had fallen to their deaths, they still had another problem. How exactly were the three of them going to follow them down there, and was it even possible?

Down below, Raze had the statue in his hand. It seemed like it had successfully been unsealed, but he didn't even have time to check out what it could do; that was because a portal had opened right in front of him.

"Dame, get ready!" Raze said, as he was starting to gather magic around his arms, but he noticed that Dame wasn't by his side.

Instead, he was still standing far away. "What are you doing, it's a portal break!" Raze asked.

To these words, Dame wasn't panicked at all. He wasn't reacting the same way as Charlotte or Mr. Kron was at the time they had seen the other portal. Why was he so relaxed? Was it because he was a strong warrior?

"That's not a portal break," Dame replied as he walked forward. "Can't you see, the color, it's light blue and quite clear, and if it was a break, monsters would be pouring all over the place right now."

Putting his hands down slowly, Raze realized it was true. No beasts were coming out of the portal; there was nothing. Its power was just spinning around, seemingly doing nothing.

"Portal breaks are different colors, and the sparks that you see, they should continuously spiral all over the place. What you have right here, my friend, is just a normal portal," Dame said, and he had one of the largest smiles on his face.

"A normal portal?"

Raze remembered that normal portals could be entered as one wished, and there would be an exit that took one elsewhere when entered. They were rare and great resources that clans fought over all the time. The academy had a few themselves, and this portal would have also been considered the academy's, that was if they knew about it.

"So it really is just a normal portal… Can you tell what level it is?" Raze asked.

"Not really," Dame said as he looked at it and reached his hand out slightly as if he was about to touch it. "Honestly, the only way to find out is to head inside. Anyway, how was your thing, was it a success?"

Due to the shocking revelation of having opened up a portal to another dimension and not a dreaded portal break, Raze had nearly forgotten about the time. Placing it down on the floor, Raze then cast his dark magic on it.

"Show me your effects," Raze whispered.

The dark magic started to float back out of the statue as it had written some words to him.

[Mythical ranked item]

[Fighting soldier]

[Using magic to activate the statue, it will grow into a human-sized figure. The statue will follow simple commands from its owner.]

[If the statue is destroyed, it will reform into the smaller statue and will need 24 hours before it can be used again.]

[The statue warrior's strength is based on the blood used to unseal the item]

'This… crap.' Was Raze's first thought.

Not because the item was bad, it was certainly good. He had managed to obtain a mythical item which was exactly what he was aiming for but it was because of the last line. If he had known, he would have used Dame's blood, or kept the statue using blood of even stronger talents.

The reason he hadn't done was just in case it would have a bad effect on the blood he used, but it did make him wonder. Would this mean that this statue was even stronger than all five of the disciples? If that was the case then it certainly would be a strong fighting force.

His sulk had turned into a smile.

"I see the item must be good then if it's made you smile, so how about it, what do you think about heading into this portal and seeing what it has?" Dame suggested.
