Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 206 Too Strong

Everything was making sense to Reno, and at the same time, nothing was making sense. The pills that were incredibly rare to get oneʼs hands on, a mysterious person turning up at the auction who was strong and weak at the same time. The pills that had even greater effects than the rumors; because of this, he could only imagine that this person was the Dark Magus.

”Now that Iʼm 80 percent sure of who this person is, I definitely canʼt run away,” Reno thought to himself. ”If I did, then Alba would kill me if she found out what I did, and rather than getting killed by her, I would rather fight, trying my best to take out this person in front of me.”

With the red pill, Reno had healed up and gained more Qi again, and he decided to charge in once more at a fast speed. The only thing was he wasnʼt alone this time. The stone statue that was by his side had charged in as well at the same time.

”A bunch of you teaming up on a single old man?” Nabi smiled. ”As expected of those that belong to Factions like the Demonic and Dark, none of you have any honor at all.”

Hearing the old manʼs voice and the sound of fighting and energies spewing out, Rayna was starting to open her weak eyes. Her whole body was in pain from all over, and her limbs felt heavy.

There was a special type of metal that had been created to make large balls and chains to keep her down. If she was at full strength, she at least would have been able to move, but in the state she was in now, it was close to impossible.

”Who is it thatʼs come here, did the Neverfall Clan actually send someone after I failed?” Rayna said, as if she was surprised.

When she looked at the two that were helping her out, though, she didnʼt recognize any of them.

”I thought as much; father isnʼt like that. I guess these two strangers just stumbled upon this situation. Maybe my luck hasnʼt run out.”

Closing her eyes, Rayna started to focus. She hadnʼt given up, and she wasnʼt going to just let the current situation put her out. With the state she was in, could she really do anything? As she looked around the area, she could feel something giving her a little bit of energy.

Towards the edge of the platform, there was a white flower, and on the top of the head, it had strangely sprouted out, creating five heads. For a while now, she had felt a soothing sensation coming from the plant.

”I donʼt know what that thing is, but maybe it can help me,” she thought.

The statue and Reno charged in one after the other, and it was starting to use one of the explosive fist techniques as it threw out its hands towards the middle-staged warrior.

Nabi was charging up a palm strike as he moved his hand in a circular motion, but seeing this, it was then that Reno decided to act. His entire arm glowed green as he swung it down.

”The Snakeʼs bite!”

Renoʼs hand wasnʼt shaped like a fist, but instead, he had his thumb and two fingers pointed like a pair of fangs ready to bite down right on the Light Faction Leaderʼs arm. It struck, pinching hard and pulled the hand away so the palm strike Qi struck out, going into the air and hitting nothing.

The statue then successfully landed a hit right on the chest of Nabi, who jolted back a little, but he pushed forward with his foot as this happened.

”This whole display is pathetic! Do you guys have any idea who I am?” Nabi swirled his arm and swung Reno off, throwing him to the ground. Right after, Nabi swung the sword, and when it hit the statue, it sliced right through him.

”This guyʼs power, itʼs almost as if heʼs been toying with us!” Reno thought. ”He has to be a high-stage middle-stage warrior.”

Slicing the sword again, parts of the statue were coming off bit by bit, and finally, the power of the strike was put into the tip of his sword as he thrust it forward. At that moment, it had broken into several pieces, turning into next to nothing. But there was a certain individual right behind him.

”The fourth descending step!” Raze kicked off with both of his feet, his sword covered in his black magic. He rose the weapon from above and used the first formation of the Devilʼs strike.

”The Dark Devilʼs waterfall!” The Dark magic completely surrounded the sword and came crashing down.

Just in time, Nabi was able to swing his sword up and block the strike. As the two energies clashed, his feet broke several of the pyramidʼs bricks beneath him, creating a small crater below.

The strike was extremely strong at that moment, and Reno couldnʼt believe it.

”Is this really something that only a second-stage Pagna warrior is capable of?”

Right now, Raze had the power of the drained Light Faction members, he had used his Descending Step skills up to the fourth step, and mixed his strongest type of magic with his sword formation. On top of that, he had the ghost blade in his hand that got stronger with Demonic energy, as well as the speed pill giving him just that small edge.

It certainly wasnʼt a strike that a simple two-star Pagna warrior could produce.

As the two energies clashed, Nabi was carefully looking at what was surrounding Razeʼs sword as it flickered slightly, and his eyes opened wide.

”Oh, to find someone like you in a place like this, I guess you are a very, very unlucky person!” Nabi lifted his hand and quickly used a palm strike, hitting Raze right in the stomach.

It was too fast for him to react, and he slid across the ground. Blood came spitting out from his mouth, and he was sure he was going to fall off the edge. He had no choice but to use his wind magic as he stayed on, saving himself, but the pain was still there as he knelt over.

Nabi walked over to Reno and swung the sword a couple of times. Reno had blocked them using his Qi so it didnʼt cut him, but then Nabi used a thrust attack. Reno had blocked it with his Qi, but it was still destructive, as he felt it enter him and blood pour out of his mouth too.

Moments later, Reno had ended up right next to Raze, rolling and falling on the ground.

The statue had been defeated, and Raze had used the pills he thought were effective, he had waited for the perfect time using most of his mana along with his Qi, yet the two of them still werenʼt able to defeat him.

”The effects of the pill, I think theyʼre wearing off... Iʼm sorry, my friend,” Reno said. ”I donʼt think I can continue much longer.”

Nabi had enough of playing these games, with both of them injured, it was time for him to slice off both of their heads. As he dashed forward, a Qi-filled arrow had come right at him. He swung his sword, trying to cut the arrow in half, but it stayed mid-air for a moment before eventually being deflected and causing a large crash in the ground below.

”That was no normal arrow, whoʼs there?” Nabi shouted.

”Who?” A voice replied. ”Itʼs the ones that are going to bring you down.”

Raze turned to look, and he could see a group of eight people standing there on the pyramid edge. They were all dressed in different shades of clothes and armor. They didnʼt look like your typical Pagna warriors.

As he looked further, he was trying to see if he recognized any of them, but he was unable to.

Below them, though, all of the Light Faction members that were blocking their path of escape had been defeated, and with ease, because the group that had arrived wasnʼt just anyone.

”I think this might be the first time in a long time Iʼm happy to see you appear out of the blue,” Reno joked.

”You two rest up,” Alba said as she walked forward, pulling out two medium-sized red swords from her waist and holding them in her hands. ”We, the Crimson Crane, will take care of this!”
