Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 595 Defeat The Pillar

Raze was thankful that he was wearing his specially designed blazer and had used the Lux Sword because of it; his defenses were boosted, and the Qi from the strike that attacked him internally was healing up as well.

If he had the Ghost Blade on him, perhaps the attack would have caused far greater damage. Now he knew he was in a battle where he was going against a true middle stage warrior.

Not those middle stage warriors that had just broken through, but one who had a massive amount of experience in fighting and caused others to go into fear just by the presence of his Qi.

Raze continued to hold the Lux Sword while looking at his opponent, who stood there slightly confused. After unleashing his attack, he expected it to go straight towards Raze.

Yet it had hit large physical objects made out of ice. This went beyond the world that they knew, creating something out of what was seemingly nothing. He had faced those with strong visual Qi that could create images and condensed forms of attacks, but this was entirely different.

In this brief moment, it gave time for Raze to think.

ʼThis man, he managed to take two of my strongest Dark Edge Sword Art attacks straight on, and he still is able to pull off an attack like that. These techniques use a lot of Qi and mana… using the Lux Sword for a while will be best while I recover.ʼ

Looking at the great person in front of him, that was when Raze started to get an inkling that maybe this was the opportunity he had been looking for.

”Rayna, Anna, I need both of your help; we need to take out this guy, but we need to keep him alive, no matter what.”

Stunned looks appeared across both of their faces. The two of them, even with Razeʼs help, were unsure if they could even beat Yanin, and then claim to keep him alive.

That was much harder to do, with a battle of life and death on the line and against such a strong opponent… to beat someone until they were in submission.

The thing was, they didnʼt have much time to think about it, as they could see Yanin now running right toward them. Even though he was large in size, his body was just as fast as any Middle stage warrior and he bulldozed himself into the building.

His hammer was slammed down, and the whole building crumbled, falling to pieces. Raze had lifted himself into the air with his wind magic and done the same with Rayna and Anna.

The two of them felt lighter and were being pulled by a force they didnʼt understand.

While in the air, and with Yaninʼs back turned, Raze swung his sword, using his wind magic.

”Crimson Slash!” Raze struck out a large red slash in the air that hit the corner of Yaninʼs arm piece. The slash made a small cut with a splatter of blood but looked to not have done much as he turned around, looking at Raze and the other two in the air.

”I think you have just revealed our location to the enemy, rather than succeeding in an attack,” Anna said.

Swinging his hands, Raze pushed both Rayna and Anna to the side, and they were falling to the ground.

He could see Yanin gearing up, ready for another attack, as he bent his knees to jump up, heading toward him.

Getting the Lux Sword ready once again, this time sparks lit up around the sword.

ʼI havenʼt just been sitting around doing nothing… before when I tried to combine magic with certain techniques; it was quite difficult. I managed to produce the Crimson Strike, but combining wind magic with the Devilʼs second formation.ʼ

ʼThe Dark Edge Sword Arts were made to work with Dark magic, but I also was able to use Light magic as well. With all of this, Iʼve started to get the gist of learning how to use magic and Pagna Warrior techniques at the same time.ʼ

ʼWhat I realized after getting the Lux Sword, which is based around Light magic, certain weapons allow the use of magic to be combined with skills easier, and other than Light magic, one of them is Lightning magic.ʼ

The lightning around the sword grew in size, sparking all around him. Just as expected, Yanin exploded with strength off his feet, jumping right at Raze who was staying above.

”Crimson Spark!” Raze shouted out as he swung the sword. A giant stream of Qi mixed with lightning power came out from his weapon.

As the attack approached Yanin, he swung his hammer through it; the attack broke but split, hitting every part of Yaninʼs body. He felt Qi flow through his body but with the nature of lightning, giving him shocks all over his body.

With his wind magic, Raze moved himself to the side; Yanin continued to go up high due to the momentum of his jump, but with his body electrified, he soon found himself falling out of the sky.

Raze pushed himself with wind magic, getting to the ground before Yanin, and then, placed his hand on the ground again. An ice pillar was being created, and he was breaking and sharpening the edge into a giant spike.

It wasnʼt sharp enough, so he quickly swung his sword, cutting the ice even further to try to sharpen it more, and Yanin was seen falling and tumbling to the floor.

ʼIʼve… used up a lot of mana,ʼ Raze thought. ʼI also realized when consuming the Qi pill, it had a greater effect thanks to the combined use of the blazer and Lux Sword as well. Itʼs good to use both of these things passively, especially while Iʼm recovering.ʼ

Raze was starting to feel a harmony of things as they were working together in healing him. He was now standing in the middle of the street; he had witnessed Yanin crashing through the ice pillar, but most of it was crushed by his weight, unsure of the impact it had.

Running out from the two sides were both Rayna and Anna.

”Can you please tell me if youʼre going to do something like that… my heart was beating so fast!” Rayna exclaimed as she came forward.

Anna didnʼt say anything, but having magic used on her certainly did feel strange.

”I thought you said you wanted to just beat the guy, not kill him; what was with that Ice pillar?” Rayna asked.

”Donʼt worry, I concluded from the attacks earlier, magic alone isnʼt going to be enough to kill him,” Raze said.

A rumbling in the distance could be felt again as they could feel a large mass amount of Qi being used.

Both Rayna and Anna still had the thought when they could see this, did Raze still plan to subdue him, but why? The only thing they could think of in their mind was that Raze was going to use his extraction technique to absorb the strength of Yanin, making him stronger than he was now.

If it was for that reason, then it would be worth it.

”Rayna, Anna, itʼs time now.” Raze held out his hand, and the Lux sword started to change, turning into that of the Ghost blade. ”Itʼs time for all of us to go on the attack; if either you were holding anything back before, we need to use it all now, but just remember, keep him alive!” Raze said.

Like a bulldozer, they could see the large Yanin rushing through the street, coming at all three of them.

”Fine.. Iʼll help you out, but you owe me,” Anna said as she took off the cloth she was wearing on her body, revealing the true look of her body, glowing red with power.
