Dark Magus Returns

60 A 6 Star Mage

So far, Raze and the mysterious two had a similar connection. They had a reason to talk to him, but did they have a reason to keep him alive? Did they need to stick their neck out to save him?

Perhaps that was the reason why they were even asking such a question, and depending on how he answered, it would depend on how they would deal with him as well.

'In these types of situations, usually the best types of lies are ones sprinkled with a bit of truth,' Raze thought. 'For now, it's best that they don't know that I transmigrated here rather than being brought over like them. I can't just trust people.'

"The two matters are unrelated," Raze explained. "Just like you, I was brought here into this world, but it was quite recent, and when I came here, I found myself in a household full of the dead. I had no choice but to pretend that I was a part of their family."

Himmy stood close, observing everything, the movement of Raze's hands, the way he stood, and the tone of his voice when he spoke. n)/1n

"I later learned that there have been several family deaths in this town, and since I was the only survivor, they have been suspecting me. As for what happened to the disciple, that was a fault of his own.

"I recently obtained an earring. It turns out that it was a sealed item. The disciple had stolen it from me. My guess is that he must have failed in breaking the seal, and now it's cursed him."

The change across Himmy's face changed drastically as his eyes opened wide and he turned to Charlotte.

"I think he's telling the truth," Charlotte said. "The item he's talking about, I could tell it was special as well, but I didn't have time to check it out properly to think it was a sealed item."

Himmy didn't say whether he believed Raze or not; instead, he was stroking the stubble on his beard several times.

"I don't believe you completely," Himmy said. "But, it is my job to be suspicious of people."

Raze's fingers were twitching. Was this a situation that he would need to fight out of? But then why would the detective tell him he didn't believe him?

"However, I don't think you are the cause of the deaths that have been taking place, and Charlotte is vouching for you, so whatever you are lying about, it's not one of those things," Himmy explained.

'This detective is a lot better than he looks!' Raze thought.

"The reason we are here is because of the constant deaths that have been taking place in this town, which is related to the second goal of the Alter. Our group is far and wide; we have people in every part of the faction across the continent in a number of different positions, and this is all for the safety of Pagna.

"Our group obtains and locks away items that are powerful enough to change the world. Just like how we otherworlders come into this world from time to time, it seems that strange items that are capable of doing things that are unimaginable come into this world as well.

"Our organization considers us protectors of these items. For if even a single person was to get their hands on them, it would be able to change the world. They are just as highly regarded as the deities in this world.

"However, a lot of these items seem to also come from the other dimensions that open up in this world. We believe that the dimensions are linked to human civilizations that no longer exist."

"That lost their battles to the beasts, but in their worlds, there are still things that carry great power. In the past, one from the Demon faction was able to obtain one of these items, and they had literally turned into a Demon on Pagna itself.

"It had taken the two other factions to team up together to get rid of it.

"Do you know the item grading system of Mages?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Elite, Unique, Mythical, Legendary, God-tier items," Raze replied.

"Correct, these items that we gather are considered Mythical and above."

This gave Raze a bigger idea of the full picture, and he wondered just how many of these items they might have had or were protecting.

'Is it possible they could have something that even I could use? With these, I could even topple the Grand Magus Idor!'

"Alterians have to be carefully monitored because of our ability to create items as well," Charlotte explained. "The reason why we were here is because due to the strange way the deaths are occurring, we believe it might be the cause of another item. We didn't quite expect to run into an otherworlder, but thought there was a chance."

"Now with all this information," Himmy said with a smile. "I have to ask you, will you formally become part of the Alter?"

Charlotte had placed both of her hands together, as if she was almost begging.

"If you join, we can learn a lot about each other, and you're less likely to die!" Charlotte said. "And on top of that, the leader of Alter is an Alterian as well! You won't believe it, but back on Alterian, he was a 6-star mage!

"Can you believe it, we are practically working with a superstar and one of the strongest mages in existence! We can really count on him. Oh, I forgot to ask, What is your star rank?"

6 stars were certainly something to be amazed at. There were around only a hundred of them back on Alterian. With his skills and power, he would certainly have been able to set up an organization like so.

So then, if Raze got his power back, just what would he be capable of?

"I'm only a 2-star mage," Raze answered.

"Still, that's amazing for your age. What are you, 16? And not only that, you're a Pagna warrior. You said you've only been here a short time, and that's impressive considering some of the others never even become a warrior. Trust me, this will be good for the both of us," Charlotte continued to blabber on.

"So, what's your answer?" Himmy asked again.
