Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 796 A Dark Secret

796 A Dark Secret

After finishing work, Harvey didn't head home, nor did he head to the underground world where the others were for his meeting. Instead, he made a stop in a different place.

He found himself walking through a rougher area of the city. It was nothing like the world below. Instead, this was a place filled with guilds that took on all sorts of jobs.

Not all guilds were good, and not all guilds were public. If one wanted their hands on illegal enchanted items, medical-grade items, or other things, they needed a place.

No matter how good the world seemed to be, as long as there was a demand for something, someone out there would supply it, and this was true in Alterian as well.

The streets were littered with rubbish and filled with potholes. Even the sidewalk hadn't been repaired for what looked like years. However, there were certain entertainment establishments that looked more upmarket.

For one, there were some thriving restaurants in the area—after all, everyone had to eat. There were also nice gambling establishments with fancy lights on the outside and holographic displays.

Standing outside these doors were mages hired from other guilds to stop the rowdiest of customers.

Harvey continued to walk in the open until it looked like someone was about to bump into him. Lifting his hand, he used magic to push the person forcefully, sending them into the air and landing on the ground. Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

"What did you do that for? You just used magic on me for no reason!" the man shouted.

"You chose the wrong target today. I'm telling you now, leave and turn around. That enchanted knife in your pocket isn't going to do anything against me," Harvey said.

The man stood up from the ground.

Now there were a large number of cells with iron bars blocking the way. These, too, were enchanted by magic, making it nearly impossible for people to escape.

"Please let us out!" a person cried as they grabbed onto the bars.

The room itself had around ten cells, each that could fit around five people. Most of them were full, but there were a couple that still had some space in them.

"Have you done as I asked?" Harvey said, looking at the man.

"How can we? How can we do what you ask?" the man shouted. "If we learn what you gave us, if we learn that, then we're as good as dead."

That's when Harvey started to clap.

"Right, right, so you're starting to get the picture, right? I've told you all several times: if you can learn the Dark magic spells I've given you, then you will be free to be let out. However, of course, if you learn Dark Magic, everyone knows the rules above."

Harvey then lifted his hand toward the man, and out of the palm of his hand, a Dark Pulse shot right through the man's head, killing him on the spot and causing him to fall.

A series of screams from the others were heard, while some of the people inside the cells covered the others' mouths to stop the screams.

"If you learn Dark Mlmagic, then you will be chased by the mages forever, which means those of you who have learned Dark magic will only have one place that can protect you all—the Dark Guild!"

"So all of you, get to learning Dark magic, and help the guild grow! I've got a meeting to go to now. I hope to see some progress when I get back."
