Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 478 A New Dark Edge Sword Art

The mighty beast swirled about in the air, picking up more speed. It was moving in circles, faster and faster, and when it had finally picked up just enough speed, it decided to fly down, speeding right towards Raze.

Despite all of this, Raze was calm. The power coming from the beast had to be immense, but in his eyes, it was at a stage 4 at best. Most of the beasts in the area had to be at stage 3.

He had defeated a stage 4 beast a while ago, and that was when his magic powers, including that of his Qi, were weaker. He had advanced far, now at the peak of that of 4 star.

Not only that, but after killing the mages that had invaded, the effect of his special ring had taken place, giving him more dark energy than before, and he was now using the Dark Edge Sword Arts, which worked extremely well with his Dark Magic.

Raze bent down at his knees and placed his sword down at his side; he gathered his Qi into the hilt, and doing the same, magic started to form. Floating in the air, a ring of Dark Magic was swirling around the handle of the sword.

ʼThe Dark Edge Sword Arts, all of them are unique and can be used in particular situations,ʼ Raze thought. ʼThe first sword formation is used for restricting oneʼs opponent. It mixes Qi and magic to create powerful bindings that wrap around the target based on the sword strikes used.ʼ

ʼThe second formation, the Eclipse Strike, is powerful. Something that combines the sword with Qi and magic and unleashes it in a single swing down with both hands. It creates a single large line of pure power.ʼ

ʼThe third formation, itʼs quite a complicated strike, the Nightmare Veil Formation. I havenʼt tried to perfect it yet, and this isnʼt the best time for its use, but in this situation, the fourth strike is best.ʼ

Raze had memorized most of the strikes, but there were the odd tidbits that needed to be sorted and perfected for perfect use. When trying to just use the movements, many of them felt awkward to him.

Controlling Qi and magic at the same time was difficult, and he realized that it wasnʼt his magic control that caused the strikes to not work, but it was his Qi control. After what Feebie had done to him, his Qi control had reached a higher level, and not only could he produce all ten of the Descending Steps, but now he was also able to perform the fourth Dark Edge Sword Arts formation.

The Void Pulse formation.

This was only in theory as Raze noticed he was still unable to perform it. When fighting against the beast in front of him, he thought it was the perfect chance to use the fourth formation.

ʼThe beast, although there are many ways for me to beat it, times like this are perfect to learn new things. Another tool in my pocket I can use to defeat the Dark Faction Pagna Academy Principal is the Dark Edge Sword Arts!ʼ

Layering around the circle of Dark Magic that Raze had created was his Qi, and right then, he thrust it forward. The tip of the blade hit the head of the beast straight on.

The moment it made impact, a large pulse of Qi and dark magic exploded just from behind the weapon itself. It was propelling forward as the energy blasted right from behind.

The floor on the ground behind the sword was crumbling, and the sheer power had caused Neilʼs body to be lifted in the air, and for him to tumble back.

The sword completely pierced right through the center of the beast, ripping it apart in a single strike, and Raze had to push the rest of the body apart with his wind magic so he wouldnʼt get hit by the remainder of the body.

The momentum of the beast flying caused parts of its body to fall to either side of Raze onto the ground. The energy of Razeʼs attack had come to an end.

The single pulse of energy was over. Raze still had his sword in a thrusting position with one hand.

When the others went to look at the situation that had occurred, they could see part of the beastʼs body on the ground, but they noticed the center part of the large body was completely missing. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

They were unable to even see the head among the parts that were visible. The only conclusion that they could come to was that the attack that had even been produced by the Pagna warrior had completely destroyed it so it couldnʼt be seen anymore.

Raze finally got out from his stance and looked at his blade; he could feel the power.

ʼThat was a strong piercing strike,ʼ Raze thought to himself. ʼThe Eclipse Strike covers the entire sword, almost smothering the target with power, whereas this is more like a piercing strike of energy.ʼ

ʼNot just that, but it uses the energy to propel the sword, rather than using the energy on the sword like the Eclipse Strike.ʼ

ʼTo be honest, although the strike is powerful, if it was being used with another sword other than this one, it might have destroyed the sword completely. It only worked because of the strength of the sword itself.ʼ

It was a lesson to Raze in a way; maybe the items and equipment he was using werenʼt ready for all of the Dark Edge Sword Arts.

Now having figured out how to use the fourth formation, Raze looked at the rest of the beasts. They almost were as stunned as the rest of the people who had witnessed what had happened.

It was clear to Raze one thing though; he didnʼt think this was the Dimension Boss. He imagined that it was just a strong beast among these, but he was confident even if he was to meet the Dimension Boss, he could also defeat that.

At the moment though, he couldnʼt feel a strong presence in the city, so most likely the portal was a distance away from the city.

Still, there was one more thing that he had to do.

The beasts started to come to, and as the warriors were making noise, they turned their heads and were ready to jump on them.

At that moment, Raze had gone to where the beasts were surrounding the others, and placing his hand on the floor, he had cast a spell.

”Silence.”

The wind magic expanded out, in the area around the beasts, and in doing so, they could now no longer hear anything, apart from noise within the bubble of air, unless they got out from the bubble.

Raze had carefully made it so it would trap the beasts but not go further than to the warriors. It was quick, and bewildered, the beasts had all stopped in confusion.

The warriors had no idea what was going on, only that the beasts started acting strange once he had arrived where the others were.

”Alright, let me help you get rid of the rest of these guys now.”
