Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1032: The Good Of The Grand Magus

chapter 1032: the good of the grand magus



there were multiple public cases, as well as those who knew enaxx personally, who would use one word to describe him: petty. this pettiness drove him to absurd actions over the smallest of cases.

yet, it was perhaps because of this pettiness that he had been able to rise so high in the first place. maybe this was what idore saw in him when choosing among the other candidates to become a nine-star mage and a part of the grand magus.

still, becoming part of the grand magus and being a public figure all the time had forced him to learn to somewhat control his usual urges. after all, he was already at the top. he didn't have much left to prove anymore.

however, the position had also caused him to demand respect from everyone, and although many gave it, there were times when he felt disrespected. what jake dove had done, from the way he spoke to the way he explained his theories, was, in enaxx's eyes, a clear sign of disrespect.

thankfully, enaxx had thought he would let things go because it was a one-time incident. in his mind, he knew that he could deal with jake whenever he wanted. that was the decision he had reached.

while he was busy remaining backstage after the show, signing autographs and answering a number of questions, his magical watch device received several pings. looking at it and reading the messages, he smiled.

*"i see. it seems that all of alterian's stars have aligned. after i decided not to do anything at all, now they have chosen me to act."* with a deep grin on his face, enaxx made sure to remain surrounded by many people as he continued signing and making small talk with the guests.

in a particular alleyway, an earth wall had risen, blocking the path and preventing anyone from entering or leaving. now, two people stood facing each other, having been together around twenty or so minutes ago.

"enaxx, what are you doing here?" jake asked, his worry evident. the words enaxx had already spoken were laced with annoyance, and there was no reason for him to meet up with jake in such a secluded way unless he had bad intentions.

before jake could take another step, his foot was suddenly covered in earth, which tightened around him. jake moved his hands to cast a spell, but material from the buildings' walls beside him broke out, wrapping around both of his arms. the material hardened in place, trapping him completely where he stood.

with those words, the earth wall behind jake vanished, and enaxx disappeared as if he had never been there.

it didn't appear to be any type of magic-enaxx's body simply seemed to vanish. but jake couldn't dwell on it. he had a new worry on his mind.

*"home? what is he talking about?"* jake thought frantically.

stumbling, jake rushed toward his home, trying repeatedly to call his wife and son. his unsteady steps faltered as he hurried forward, desperation giving him strength.

when he finally reached his apartment building, everything appeared normal from the outside. but as he opened the door and stepped into the living room, his entire world shattered.

on the floor, motionless, were his wife and son.

"no... no..."

jake collapsed, his hands clutching his head as tears streamed down his face.

"nooooo!" jake screamed with every ounce of strength he had until the pain in his chest overwhelmed him. he too collapsed, unconscious, beside the family he had lost.
