Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 601 Getting Rid Of 1000

?When seeing Tilon use the shield, there was a churning feeling inside of Rayna. She had mentioned all of the details that Raze had given him, telling him how to use the shield, yet she perhaps hadnʼt mentioned one of the most important things.

Due to the situation, and the fight at hand, Rayna thought if they didnʼt use the shield, then they might have lost this fight against Polter.

Raze could no longer fight, Alba was down for the count, and even if they all teamed up with their limited strength, it was unlikely they could take on Polter.

So due to the situation, she had explained how to use the shield but didnʼt explain the downside to the shield as well.

”Thereʼs one more thing I need to tell you.” Rayna said as she rushed over; she looked at Polter on the ground confirming his death.

The Behemoth Clan were hesitant to attack; now they had witnessed one of their strongest members to fall, and the vigor that was still on Tilonʼs face.

Tilonʼs face was so joyous that he hadnʼt even heard the words that Rayna had spoken before, claiming that the item was cursed.

He was over the moon of the new weapon that was in his hand.

”The last thing the Dark Magus wanted me to inform you of is the effects of using the shield; there are two things that you need to note.” Rayna continued. ”The first, if the shield is ever destroyed in battle, then it will kill the user.”

The smile was frozen on Tilonʼs face just then. His head slowly turning to look at Rayna.

”This shield… if itʼs destroyed, Iʼll die, did you say?” Tilon asked again, to which Rayna nodded. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The shield he had been using to stop every one of Polterʼs attacks; if any one of them had destroyed it, he would have died.

He started to think; if he was aware of such a thing, would he have used it willingly to block all the hits he had.

It was almost as if one was using their own heart in a battle, blocking each strike hoping that it wouldnʼt break. Sure, the shield was strong but nothing was unbreakable.

”I… canʼt use this shield… if I know that, how will I be able to use this shield now!” Tilon dreaded.

”I believe the shield is strong.” Rayna quickly answered. ”You saw how it blocked all of the attacks before, so it will not be broken easily.”

This didnʼt seem to inspire Tilon regardless of this fact. Knowing his life was on the line with the shield, he would be reluctant to use it.

”There is one more thing as well; if the shield is not used in combat, it means that it will no longer store any energy, if that happens, within 24 hours of non-use, the shield will destroy itself.”

The strong energy that Tilon could feel, it had disappeared almost straight from his body. He felt light-headed and nearly fell to his knees, but his shield stuck in the ground and he was now leaning on it.

”This thing… if I donʼt use it, it will just be gone… does that also mean, if itʼs destroyed this way, I will die as well.” Tilon looked at Rayna hoping she wouldnʼt move her head the way she had done, yet she still nodded it up and down.

”Nooo!” Tilon screamed, falling to his knees. Wondering if having such an item was worth it, and regardless he had no choice now, he had to take the shield.

Alba, who had overheard everything, made note of this. Many of the Dark Magusʼs items were incredibly strong, but all of them had negative effects as well.

Still, it was often like this in life; the items were still too good to give up. Especially if it gave Tilon such tremendous power like she had seen.

Now, it was Tilonʼs fate as he was stuck with the shield.

”Donʼt be so beat up.” Alba said. ”Even if you knew everything about the shield, tell me, would you still not have accepted it? Think how much power it managed to grant you in the end.”

Thinking about it, the surge of power that Tilon had felt was amazing, and never in a hundred years did he think he would have the strength to defeat Polter on his own like he had done just today.

Weighing up the pros and cons, he looked at his shield. ”I guess the two of us are connected right now then.”

”Kill him!” one of the Behemoth Clan members shouted. ”You heard what they said, destroy the shield and he loses his life, kill him.”

The short stoppage of the fighting was starting to ramp up. Even with the pillar defeated, the Behemoth Clan were still high in numbers while the others looked defeated.

”We need to regroup with the others and figure out what to do? We knew what the Demonic Faction is like even with taking out their lead of command, they will keep fighting.” Alba ordered.

Tilon grabbed Alba, lifting her over his shoulder, and ran through the crowd of attackers along with Rayna; he continued to use his shield to effortlessly block the attacks.

As they were running back to the edge of the town, they were starting to realize just how many members were still remaining.

”How are we going to get rid of them all?” Tilon said, even with his new shield.

”We need to trust in Raze.” Rayna answered; he said he would handle this, thatʼs why he isnʼt here.

When getting to the edge of the town, thatʼs when they could see it, Raze was standing on one of the rooftops, looking at the fighting happening in the town slightly behind him, and the main bulk of the attacking force in front of him as well.

”To get rid of this many, there is only one thing I can do.” Raze said as he pulled out a Qi pill, this time it was the Cursed Qi pill.

Consuming it, he felt the energy restoring within him. It was coming back; when all the energy came back to him.

Raze pulled out the Ghost blade. The Dark Magic that surrounded it was forming a mist-like aura.

At that point, Raze then stabbed the sword into the rooftop, and the black mist started to spread out in all directions around them.

A heavy mist was filling the entire battlefield, and soon parts of that mist started to form up. From the Dark Magic, creatures were being made.

Other human figures holding onto swords in their hands were appearing in front of the army.

”Third formation of the Dark Edge Magic Sword Arts, the Nightmare Veil Formation…”

It was the same formation he had used when fighting the Lethal Bite Clan, only this time it was extended into a far bigger range.

It wasnʼt quite used in the same way, as swings of the sword would be the attacks of ferocious beasts and more. There was a lot more magic used in this attack; all the magic Raze could muster, it didnʼt matter though because this was how he was going to end the fight.

Lifting up his sword, he pointed out. ”Attack.”
