Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 473 Think Fast!

Marcusʼs guess was correct; this was indeed a portal break, and it was a particularly rampant one as well. A large number of beasts had stormed the city, and it had happened all too fast.

Warriors of the Lost Clan were fighting at the entrance against the beasts, as the portal hadnʼt opened within the city itself. The beasts, strange creatures with large heads, had overwhelmed the city.

They were strong, powerful, fast, and their saliva seemed to have a melting property in it, allowing them to stop most weapons. If weapons were coated in strong Qi, they could resist the saliva, but this wasnʼt something that could be done against many.

With the beasts having entered the city, they were reacting to any signs of life, taking them out. Another thing to note of the beasts themselves, it was almost as if they had no eyes.

No eyes could be seen on the top of their round heads, leaving them attracted to sound. The warriors had figured this out, but it was hard for them to spread the news around to the rest of the city quickly.

In one of the cityʼs shops, a particular woman was making a large amount of noise due to a stench of a specific person who was hiding in the same place. As she continued to make noise, one of the small beasts that were nearby had leapt through the window and had entered, biting off the womanʼs face, killing her in an instant.

”Arghhh!” A loud number of screams in the shop had occurred.

The people were unable to help themselves as they could see the blood; quickly, many had reacted. Inside the shop, there were also other wanderers, those that were warriors but not part of a clan.

They quickly reacted, drawing their weapons, and started to hit the beasts, stopping them one after the other. When stabbing the beasts as they opened their mouths, some of the saliva exploded out and hit a few of those that had attacked.

The saliva quickly burnt part of their clothing, reaching their skin and continuing to burn through. The warriors quickly used more of their Qi, and it seemed to stop the saliva from reacting more. It made it clear, though, that they needed to be careful even when attacking such a creature.

The small creature that had entered was now dead.

”There are more of them heading for the shop!” A man shouted and went to run toward the back of the shop. The rest of the people inside had done the same, turning their backs. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Meanwhile, the wanderers that were inside had no choice but to fight, and it was the same for Marcus and his group. As the creatures burst through the windows, Marcus rolled to the side and dropped the crate from his back.

The creatures burst inside the room, and some of them turned around to face the group.

Shing, the large man, gathered a fist and punched one at the side of its body. It flew in the air, crashing into a clothing rack and dropped to the ground.

With his fist, Marcus punched the crate open and pulled out the large rifle and threw it over to Tanya, who caught it in her hand. Right after, he threw small packets towards her to catch as well.

Marcus himself quickly opened up another pack and rolled again as one of the beasts came at him. Pointing the gun toward the creature, he started to fire away, aiming at its head.

Loud bangs were heard in the room, vibrating, but they couldnʼt quite understand what was happening. All they could see was darkened blood splattering out from the beast, but along with the blood were its juices that came out from its mouth.

It went toward the group, but quickly Barlan flicked his hand, using Wind Magic, he managed to force the spit to fall to the ground. Wind Magic was easiest to use in front of people since it was hard for them to see or notice that something was amiss.

Right after, Ponyo rolled with his sword, slashing one under its neck, and then leaped, avoiding getting covered in its juices. At the same time, another loud bang was heard by Tanya as she had shot one in the head.

It had exploded, but Shing was confident in his body as he moved in the way of its blood, blocking it from hitting some of the other people.

”With the situation as it is now, and with all these people, are we going to have to use the memory wipe trick again to make them forget?” Tanya asked.

The people were still stunned as the dead beasts were on the floor. They had been saved by this group of mysterious people but were still frightened that they would get up at any moment.

”I donʼt think thatʼs a situation we should be worrying about right now,” Marcus replied. ”We will deal with that later.”

Looking out of the window, the loud sound of the guns had attracted multiple beasts to their area, and now they were outside heading toward the one particular shop.

”I have another question to ask,” Shing said, wiping the blood off his body. ”Where is Raze?”

Looking around the place, they couldnʼt see him, nor did they even witness him fighting against the creatures. The only conclusion they could come to was that he had left in the middle of the fight.

——-

Raze had exited from the back of the shop and quickly went to the highest building in the city. It was a bell tower. As he climbed it using the small edges and his Pagna skills, he reached the top and was hanging out, holding onto part of the bell tower with one arm, looking at the rest of the city.

ʼThose beasts will just keep coming, I could sense it. Thereʼs something much more dangerous that needs to be dealt with here.ʼ
