Dark Magus 464

If there was one thing that Raze hadn't done much of, it was cultivating through the normal means. Usually, cultivating a specific type of energy into one's dantian was the normal way for one to progress.

Bit by bit, one was trying to increase the amount of Qi they had in their bodies. Expanding it so it would break and allow them to go to the next stage. But due to the number of experiences Raze had, he was able to increase his Qi using rare power stones that one wouldn't acquire at their level, and there was also the Extraction technique.

However, it wasn't as if there were no benefits to Raze cultivating. Whenever he did do such a thing, he was able to be more in tune with his energy, allowing him to sense flow better not just from himself, but from others that used it as well.

Still, despite this, he had steered away from using the standard Demonic cultivation technique that was known as the cycle of life and death because of what could appear, that was until now.

'You always tried to come out before, to connect with me when I didn't want it, but now I'm trying to connect to you, so you better come out, and I have some questions for you!' Raze thought, closing his eyes.

He took in a deep breath through his nose, his hands were shaped in front of his stomach as he gathered the energy into a ball-like shape. When he took a breath in, his hands expanded slightly drawing more energy into him, and when breathing out, his hands moved closer together, then it was time for the imagery in his head.

Shing, who was sitting opposite him, had drunk the solution but knew it would take some time to work, but already he was seeing a large difference with his eyes. The whole area was almost changing to him.

The other world was brought forward, and the room felt like it was being filled with a mystic deep fog. Voices began to whisper into his ear; he couldn't quite make out the words.

The energy was rising inside of Shing, and his eyes were starting to glow with a slight white. Almost instantly the room had changed for him; when looking at the floor it felt a bit rough.

Moving his hands slightly down, he could feel something rough to the touch, and a foul stench entered his nose.

'This world… is it really the same one that I usually see… or is it a world that's brought by her,' Shing thought.

Right now, in the room of mist, the ground was littered with the dead. Bodies looked to have been piled on top of one another on the floor. Even the floor underneath Shing… he was sitting on the pile of the dead.

When he moved his hand, everything felt so real to him, even though he should be in the same place as at home.

'I have taken this solution before, and my powers have increased, but it has never done this. It feels like the reality around me has changed. This can't just be because of my powers; it has to be because of hers as well.'

When looking ahead, Shing could see it; opposite him, Raze was sitting down, but hanging over his body were two long thin hands. They were wrapped by the side of his neck but continued downward until they were touching the floor.

Soaked in blood, only pale skin could be seen on the other side. When trying to look at where the hands led to, there was a large amount of black hair, and finally, when it led to the woman's face, there was nothing.

As if scratched out on a piece of paper, Shing was unable to see what it was, or who it was.

"Is she there?" Raze asked. He was focusing on continuing the technique, but he had gotten to the point where he could speak at the same time. "She is, isn't she? Ask her why is she attached to me, what is her purpose, and what does she want?"

Shing was getting ready to repeat what Raze had said; he opened his mouth but then she had spoken already.

"I'm not death!" The voice said, it was deep, but feminine while still sounding like a whisper, but one thing, it was clear for both of them to hear. "What is this? Is this because of your power he can clearly hear me? You have an interesting power."

The bloody woman's hand was raised, and a finger pointed out toward Shing, it was stretching and moving toward him but stopped midway in the room as Raze was beginning to be a little unstable.

"Don't touch him." Raze said.

"Oh, you can't see me, but it seems you can feel my intentions. I knew the two of us were so similar. This pile of dead bodies that you see, you must have killed the same amount right?" The woman began to laugh.

"Just answer my question, what do you want from me?" Raze asked.

"What do I want from you, what do I want from you, what do I want from you?" the woman repeated and started to laugh once again. "I am stuck with you… so you have to live… stop doing such dangerous things and tiring me out…"

Based on the information she gave, Raze could only tell a couple of things; she needed him alive, and she was with him for one reason or another. It didn't seem like she would elaborate, and in those cases when people did that, it was usually because they didn't want the other person to find out why.

"Alright fine, then tell me, how did you come into possession of me, how did the two of us meet?" Raze asked.

The woman's voice sounded like she was in the middle of a thought as she was humming and erring. While this was happening, something was occurring with Shing as well. The solution he had taken, its power was already taking effect, but it was growing inside him.

He was able to see more, and as he looked at the woman in front of him, the scratched-out face, it was starting to fade away slightly, disappearing bit by bit, allowing him to see more and more.

He continued to look, and that's when it stared right back at him, and the body of the bloody woman stayed stiff.

"Can you see me?" The woman asked.

Shing said nothing, as his powers continued, and he felt like he was frozen.

"Can you see me… me… me… my face…" The woman asked again.

To which Shing looked away, and right there and then it was as if the woman had gotten her answer.

"ARGHH!" A mighty scream echoed in the room, and her arms had unlatched from Raze as she went forward, but at the same time, Raze had drawn his sword from his sheath and covered it with his Dark Magic.

'I don't know what works against this thing, magic or Qi, so I will just have to use both!'

He swung it forward, and it felt like it connected with something in the air, a clash of power. As it expanded out, the entire scene in front of them disappeared, and Raze no longer felt resistance against his sword.

He swung down, and it hit the Inn's floor. The Qi attack caused a large explosion, destroying it and creating a large hole underneath.

Immediately, the others from the other room rushed inside as they went through the door, breaking the side of the wall.

'What is going on!" Marcus shouted, and all of their weapons were on Raze.

"No wait!" Shing shouted, getting up from the floor. "He just… saved my life."
