Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1034: (Fixed) A Deep Punishment (Part 2)



After Enaxx had vanished, Jake had collapsed onto the floor holding onto his chest. The veins on his neck were showing and even the simplest of tasks such as breathing felt quite difficult for him.

He grabbed onto the clothing on his chest tight, unsure whether the immense amount of pain he felt from his heart was because of the loss of his family, or the onset pain from taking the illegal substance.

'I just want them back...' Jake said to himself as the substance was taking its effect.

In Alterian, Jake had been taken into one of the local police stations. It wasn't particularly large in size, there were around twenty-five staff members in the office, with a total of four floors in the building.

It was located in one of the main cities but not directly in downtown. It was placed on the corner of a street from a few residential apartment buildings. Cars mostly just drove by the place unless they had a problem and came in.

This was the temporary holding cell that had been selected for Jake Dove while the investigation was still progressing. It had been a little over 24 hours since he had been brought in. Once everything was processed, he would be moved to a prison, and from there he would await his trial and the decision.

The police station was chosen so reporters and the general public had no idea where Jake was, as they didn't want to cause a scene or fuss. Especially in a world of powerful magic users, no one really knew who was going to do what.

"Man, what a crazy, crazy case." An officer said with his hands behind his head. He was sitting at his desk in a row next to five other of his fellow officers. They had been talking about the situation.

"I wanted to text everyone saying look who I got and snap a picture."

"Don't do that." Another chimed in. "You know word gets out really easy about these things. Our easy job would become incredibly difficult if you did that."

Just then, the door was heard opening, and a man walked in wearing an enchanted robe. The officers peeked at the man as the robe was strange covering one's face; they had never seen one like it before.

It was almost as if a shroud of darkness showed only the top half just revealing the mouth, no matter how much light shined on the person.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Can we help you?" The officer asked.

"I'm here to see Jake Dove." The hooded man said.

That's one one of the officers noticed, specks of blood on the man's hand. Quickly, the officer was casting a spell, and then pulling his arm from under the desk he threw out a fireball.

It shot towards the hooded man, who deflected the fireball before it hit him, the wind blew the fire back and then changed its path as it went right back towards the desk and exploded hitting the front.

The officers quickly moved and jumped over their desks.

"We're under attack, we're under attack, we have to call in support quickly; he has to be a high-level mage!"

The man went to touch his wrist watch communicator but before he could, the hooded man placed his hand out towards the officers.

"Dark Pulse."

A dark beam of energy shot straight out, tearing through the man's chest, killing him on the spot, and attacking the other officers. The man continued his fight, as Raze was utilizing the power of Dark Magic he had been learning for a while now.

Once again, Jake heard the sound of footsteps but his vision was blurry and his chest still hurting. Even if he wanted to lift his head, he couldn't. He wasn't even aware of the explosions that were going off from above.

"This barrier...I should be able to get rid of it." An officer said.

Lifting his head ever so slightly, Jake was sure of it-this voice, it had to be, it had to be Raze Cromwell.

Soon after, Jake had been lifted off the floor, and he could see the old man's white hair come into view.

"Raze, you're here...what are you doing?"

"I'm breaking you out." Raze answered. "I saw the broadcast. I have an idea of what happened, I knew you aren't the type of person to do such a thing to your family. Just like when you put your trust in me."

Raze was breaking Jake out of the prison and was taking him out of the place. As they went up the stairs and out onto the main reception, Jake was able to see the destruction Raze had caused, including the officers that were bleeding out on the ground.

"You killed them..." Jake said.

"I'm not a good person, Jake. I never was. Maybe you saw the good side in me, but I always had the will to do this. I'm just sorry you got caught up in all of this." Raze said. "Come on, I know a place we can hide."

There was a place where Raze knew no one would try to look for them, and it was practically a maze for those that didn't know their way down there-the underground world, where Raze was born.

Using his various magic, it was easy for Raze to avoid attention and take the two of them there, and while on the way, Raze had learned of everything that had happened to Jake. He had learned of what Enaxx did, his family dying, and what had occurred in the jail cell.

Even everything he had gone through. When they had eventually reached an abandoned house in the underground world, Raze had placed Jake up against the wall and looked at his chest. "It's bad, right... I know I can tell, I'm not going to make it... So I need to tell you something. There's a device, I think it got taken into evidence for the case. I recorded everything. My conversations with Ibrain, my conversations with Gizin's employees... and even more when Enaxx threatened me.

"Use it to tell the world the truth, use it to get rid of the scum of this world... my friend." Those were the last of Jake's words as his heart had stopped and his chest had completely caved in.

Standing up, Raze looked at his hand and dark magic swirled revealing the circular recording device that Jake had talked about. Raze had already taken all of the evidence. While looking at Jake, he decided to play everything there.

Everything he had gathered, everything that had happened, and he realized that it was because of Jake's involvement with him, that he and his family had to suffer, and he also knew very well which person was responsible.

It was there and then that he had added another member of the Grand Magus to his list, and that was all five of them-to get rid of them all.

His hand clenching around the device, Raze smashed it as Dark magic entered into the cracks and ripped it apart.

"I'm sorry, Jake. We don't even know if this is enough to do anything, and besides, the Dark Magus can never get off that lightning. I won't ever let them get off that lightning."
