Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 752: Only One Skill

Murkelʼs own body was conflicted. After seeing the person in front of him appear, the crystals on his back had constantly vibrated. It was odd because he had no clue what the reason for this was.

Originally he thought it was perhaps because of the sheer power of the Divine one, but it wasnʼt the strength. In fact, the Qi, although feeling different, still felt like it was slightly the same.

”You should have never tried harming this body!” The blooded woman claimed and started to swirl both of her hands around in a circular motion. As they flowed through the air, a darkened red color followed her palms and lingered.

The Qi that was being felt somewhat reminded all of those present of the Demonic Qi. That was the closest the current Qi that they could feel resembled, but it was clearly different.

A level of Qi that was unknown to them, a Qi that was perhaps incredibly condensed, it almost felt different. However, as the body of Raze continued to move his hands, the lingering Qi dispersed and broke.

”What… this body canʼt even handle something like that? Is there really that much difference between a Middle-stage and Divine-stage warrior? Itʼs been so long that I canʼt even remember myself.” The woman said.

”Fine, then letʼs try this instead.” Pulling her leg back, a great amount of power started to gather in the foot. It was exploding like a flame but once again dispersed into nothing, breaking into particles of energy.

The woman continued to try to gather Qi, and the sinister heavy feeling upon everyone in the area could be felt for a few moments, and then each time it would disappear as if it was never even there.

”I canʼt even use any of my skills, what is this!” The woman said, surprised. Since she had taken over Razeʼs body, it had even gone through some changes to suit the new host.

The body was stronger than it would have been before, so she thought she could at least do something, yet nothing was working.

Seeing this, Murkel felt like he was unable to just sit still and be scared, and he acted by charging forward. He built up an incredible amount of speed, placing a large amount of Qi in each of his footsteps, then when he was close, he leaped through the air.

He placed both of his hands to the side, and they both began to crystallize along with the crystals on his back shooting out like a large hedgehog. On top of that, a large amount of Qi started to linger from his back again.

”I am the closest one to reaching the Divine Realm, and after getting rid of you today, I will be proof of that.”

”Fine.” The woman said as she looked at Murkel. ”It seems that at least this one works.”

The woman readied her arm, and the red color that had encased her skin looked to detach from her body and was floating in the air, close to her arm.

”Demonic Fist!” She called out, and she disappeared right from her position, already right next to Murkel.

Murkel had no time to react, having not moved his hands yet, and when the woman threw out her fist, the floating Qi blood that had appeared all went to one point in her fist.

It hit right in the center of Murkelʼs body, and the blood floating came right to the fist. Right after it made impact on Murkelʼs stomach, it spread out, hitting his arms, part of his face, and more.

The sound of Murkelʼs crystals on his body shattering was heard, and in the next moment, he was sent flying to the other side of the arena.

While midair, Murkel spun himself and grew crystals from his feet, digging them into the ground to stop him from going further, and the broken crystals on his body started to heal up again.

”I see, you can at least throw a punch.” Murkel said, and right in front of his eyes, he could see the red hair in front of him and the large grin on Razeʼs bodyʼs face.

”This looks to be the only skill I can use, and itʼs the most basic of basics, so youʼre lucky I canʼt finish you in one strike!” A fist landed from above, the blood gathering at the fist and exploding out when it made contact on top of Murkelʼs head.

The crystals that were dug into the ground shattered, as well as those on Murkelʼs back as he was sent into the floor. For a moment, it felt like the piece of land that made up the arena floor had completely cracked in half, bending upward.

Oddly though, the arena floor started to shift back into position, and Murkel was seen on the ground.

He had quickly gotten back up, his eyes looking crazed as ever as the crystals on his body were regrowing.

”You think I didnʼt suffer hits like these before? This is nothing!” Murkel exclaimed.

”I know.” The woman said, as she threw out the fist again, delivering the same strike. From the outside, the others could see the blood ripple like Qi contracting to the fist and then exploding out every time the attack landed.

With each hit, shards of red crystal scattered across the floor.

The woman this time held onto Murkelʼs hand, stopping his body from flying away. The red crystal was growing back on his body and looked to be aiming for Razeʼs body.

Yet another hit had landed directly on Murkelʼs stomach, shattering the crystals and causing them to fall onto the floor again.

”I know, this is annoying for me as well, only able to use one technique against you. This is making it take a lot longer than I expected.”

Another fist landed on top of Murkelʼs head, causing him to sink into the flooring, which was pushing him oddly back up.

Now, the woman was looking right at Murkel on the floor.

”Did you say the closest to the Divine Realm? This is whatʼs left on Pagna? You have no idea what the world above is like. I guess itʼs because of people like you that most who end up there either end up dead or trying to do whatever they can to get back to the world of Pagna.”
