Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Chapter 322 Secret Vault

Being on the run all the time, there weren't many places where Raze was able to store some of the items he had no use for. The extremely precious items he had used at the time of obtaining them. He needed them after all, in order for him to progress into becoming a 9-star mage.

Not only that, but when learning Dark Magic, it was the lowest of all his attributes, and he needed to experiment with ways to increase his Dark Magic power. It was the best type of magic he had for going up against the Grand Magus as they had no clue how to deal with it. The only sad part was that his Dark Magic could never outgrow the power of his wind magic due to the magic core he had.

Now, in his second life, things were different; he had a Dark Magic core and a head start with all his previous knowledge. However, there was one thing Raze had done. Knowing the spell he used would end his life and have him reborn, he had stored enchanted items in his vault that he could use.

If he was to die with these items on hand, he was sure that the Grand Magus would take them from him, using their power for himself, so he placed them in a special vault.

Items that would help him with his new life; he just never expected that his new life would be in a completely different world.

'And what better way than to hide a place right underneath their nose!'

The large board had slid open, and Raze took a step right through. When he did, the doors closed behind him, and the ground started to light up.

Lights were entering the room one after the other, revealing an empty Dark room.

"Wait... it's Empty!" Raze said, looking around. "My power stones, my spell books, they're gone? How can this be? Someone actually managed to discover this place in those few months that I was gone!"

Thinking about the matter, it was a bit more serious than he thought. If someone had discovered his vault, they already knew about this room, and his first suspect would be, of course, the Grand Magus.

Maybe they had set up another spell to determine if this room was open, so he didn't have much time.

'Wait, let's not be rash,' Raze thought to himself. 'To open the vault, one needed to use Dark Magic in the first place. I had set it up, so a spell would activate, destroying everything in the room if that didn't happen.

'Since that didn't happen, what is more likely is someone who knew Dark Magic had entered this place. It might even be a follower that has all these items now.'

Raze was disappointed but not largely, at least not yet, because there was something else.

On the ground, Raze proceeded to activate his Dark Magic once again, and as he did, a change started to occur.

In the dark empty room, large glass cabinets started to appear all over the place. There were ten of them that had popped up in total.

And lastly, a large bookshelf had appeared right in front of him. Seeing everything around him, his dissatisfied look from before had disappeared because now he was over the moon.

'It was a good idea to install a fake room just in case it was discovered,' Raze thought to himself.

It still pained him somewhat because that fake room was really a real room full of treasures.

The power stones he had no use for anymore, the enchanted items that were too weak compared to the real treasures he stored for himself. He had placed them in the vault as well because he knew that to most, they would consider them high-quality enough to be considered treasures.

At the pinnacle of Raze's life, that wasn't the case, though. However, he thought that it was the perfect time for him to use the low-enchanted items because there was another problem.

Raze walked up to one of the cabinets, where a large staff could be seen. It was oddly blood-red in color, with a gem at the end of it that was black. On the staff itself, it had a strange set of what looked like veins that ran up and down its side.

"The problem with this room, all the items are of Mythical and Legendary Status. I never managed to get my hands on a god-level item, but still, these items combined together certainly gave me great strength.

"However, because of that, afraid that someone else might get them, I put a seal and a lock on these items, one that could only be broken by a 9-star mage."

It was Raze's carefulness that was now preventing him from getting his locked and sealed items. Ones that would certainly help him in his fight in Pagna.

Who cared if he would open up rifts by using these items, with them, he would be able to blast away anything that came his way.

Walking around, Raze looked at more of the items. Two of them were legendary-ranked robes. One was white in color, the other, a more grey-colored. The two robes had different types of enchantments, and with their effects, Raze was able to switch between them in fighting. It gave him the advantage when fighting multiple opponents that specialized in different types of magic.

Behind another sealed display cabinet was a crown; in another there was a ring. Each time Raze imagined their power, he was kicking himself in the foot.

If someone from Alter had discovered this, they would have claimed to have discovered world treasures and surely would have taken them all under their protection.

'I came here to try and find items that would help me take down the Dark faction and the Academy, and these items certainly would help, but I can't even use them.'

'Still, there is some hope,' Raze thought as he went to the bookshelf that had appeared in front of him. On the bookshelf itself, there were a number of different books.

These books were magic books, ones that were written by Raze himself when storing information. They were magic books about every single type of attribute that exists. It had a list of spells as well as drawings of magic circles and more. It had everything one would need if they wanted to learn how to fight or use one type of magic.

There and then, Raze pulled all of them down, the ones that he needed, and in particular, he held the Light Magic book in his hand.

When he opened it up, there was writing in it, ones that weren't his own.

"This book... it was written by Abbey," Raze said to himself in a soft voice. "I guess it's only right that this book goes to Safa. I'm sure she will take good care of it as she learns how to use Light Magic."

There were too many books for Raze to store in his robe, but there was one more thing that he needed. He carefully had taken them off the shelf and placed them to the side.

Just then, he moved his hands, activating wind magic, and the shelves moved open like a door, revealing one more room.

And there was the one thing he was looking for, the one thing that wasn't sealed, that he could use in his fight against the Pagna Academy.
