Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 38 A bad deal?

The term "cultivation book" made a lot more sense to Raze than Dame probably realized. If someone used that word in his world, they would probably think it meant a book about cultivating crops and becoming some type of farmer. .cσ๓

However, in the world of Pagna, it meant cultivating one's own inner powers, growing the energy known as Qi from within. Picking it up from the ground, Raze started to flip through the book.

There were ink drawings of sitting positions and energy circulating around the stomach. There was also a detailed explanation of what one was meant to do.

"You might not understand it fully," Dame started to explain. "We fight with our fists, and those books help us gather the power that's needed for it. That's the basis of all our powers. I thought it would be interesting for you to research. You might not understand what's written in it, but if you want, we can meet up week to week, and I can show you how everything is used in it."

The writing wasn't the same as they used on Alterian, but Raze could understand it all due to the current body he was in. As he was looking at the notes, he noticed that it was slightly different from the technique that Kron had tried to teach him and Safa, but there were also some similarities as well.

'Wait, Kron did mention that if I were to learn another cultivation technique that could draw in Qi energy, other than that of the Dark faction, that maybe it would work for my body. If I learn this book, will I be able to gather Qi in my dantian and actually learn to utilize martial arts properly?'

"As long as you haven't learned anything like this before, everything should work out, and you could be someone that can have the same power in your fist!" Dame gathered energy and punched the air, creating a loud bang that vibrated the ground and ceiling around them.

'Why is he explaining everything to me like I'm some type of baby?' Raze thought until it clicked in his head. 'Wait, does he know that I'm not from the world of Pagna? Well, I mean, he must think I'm not from the world of Pagna, when I really am.

'Was it when I used magic to clean that wound? Now I'm starting to understand why he's being so friendly to me. He's interested. To him, this is almost like a cultural exchange where two people from different worlds share their knowledge. But if you think you're going to learn magic from me, my trump card, then think again, although I will happily accept this.'

Raze opened up his robe, holding it to the side, and placed the book inside, sinking it into his robe.

All those standing opposite watched, blinking multiple times, and started to rub their eyes.

"Hey, did you see what I just saw?" Carlson asked.

"Yeah... I mean, that book, it just vanished into his clothing. Wait, is he really not from our world then?" Fixteen shouted.

Seeing this, Dame was almost unable to contain his excitement as he lifted and started laughing out loud to himself.

That was when Raze decided to do something interesting. He reached into his robe, and this time, rather than putting something in, he pulled something out instead. It was a bottle filled with dark blue-colored liquid, one of the two mana potions that he owned.

With a swing of his hand, Raze chucked it to the others. Frightened at what the object could do, the others flinched and pulled away, while Dame caught it with a single hand in midair.

He held it up, looked at it and shook the bottle; it was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

"That is a special item from my world," Raze explained. "If you drink it, for one whole minute, all of the energy in your body will be restored, allowing you to fight at full strength."

Immediately, Dame's eyes started to light up, and he felt like he was holding onto a pot of gold.

"Are you serious! This can really do something like that?" Dame asked.

There were certain pills that could do something similar for Pagna warriors, but they were almost impossible for those at the initial stage to obtain. For someone to just give something like this, they had no idea how much value it was worth in their world.

"I'll be honest, I'm not sure it will work on you, but give it a try, and if it's useful, then the next time we meet, you can give me a reward of equal value," Raze proposed.

After his incident with attempting to sell the crystal, Raze knew that trying to sell the potion would result in the same thing. In fact, it would be worse because it was something that was unrecognized in the world of Pagna, so as a stranger, his word had no value.

At the same time, he truthfully didn't know if the potion would work, so it was nice to have Dame as a test subject.

'This Dame guy was someone who was strong enough to go against Beatrix, who made everyone stop on the spot in the street. So it's clear that he isn't just a nobody. If I can keep this relationship up between us two, it could be very beneficial for me.'

"I guess we should make this meeting a weekly thing then," Dame smiled as he handed the potion over to Fixteen. "Learn that book well for our next meeting, and if you show me some progress, I will be happy to show you a few things, so if you run into people like that woman again, you'll be able to protect yourself."

The two of them gave each other a nod before turning around with the new items in their hands, both of them believing they had the upper hand in the deal they had just made.

Raze held the book firmly and looked at the cover. 'Did he rip the name off the book on purpose before handing it to me? Let's head back and learn this.'
