Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 855: Night Force Squad

Although Cronker and his Night Force Squad were certainly the fastest with their foot techniques, it wasnʼt as if the rest of the Crimson Crane were slow, so they werenʼt far behind.

In fact, they had seen Cronker going up against Umonke as they were drawing closer to the town of Flendon, and Alba decided they needed a plan.

”Sha Moʼs forces are a lot larger than I thought; this is going to be a hard one,” Alba said.

”Because of the last fight, Sha Mo should only have two pillars left. Those are the troublesome ones that need to be taken out,” Rayna said. ”Iʼm not saying the rest of them will be easy by any means, but those, including Sha Mo, are the ones that we need to focus on.”

”Then letʼs split up into two groups,” Alba replied. ”Me and the rest of the Crimson Crane will head to the town of Flendon. Weʼve fought by the side of a lot of them before. The rest of you, cause a disruption when you see the right time.”

Rayna agreed and nodded, and as she split off, the others went ahead, following her, including Anna.

As for Alba and her group, they had decided to take a slightly longer route in entering the town and had gone in through another one of the gates. Due to the concentration of forces led by Sha Mo, it was quite easy. Mayor Yarlston and Andy hadnʼt even ordered anyone to stand guard at those gates.

Heading inside, it only took a short while for the Crimson Crane to meet up with the rest of those that were willing to fight.

Heading right to the front of the group that was on the ground, Tilon had appeared with his legendary shield. He lifted it up and caught the attention of those that had fought with him before.

”Stay quiet. We donʼt want to give things away just yet,” Tilon said. ”Just know that we are by your side, ready to fight again.”

There were many that still had the shields made by the Dark Magus from last time.

It was then, though, that Reno and Kizer had come to the side, pulling out a large crate.

”Inside are weapons made by the Dark Magus himself,” Kizer said. ”They are the best of the best. Last time, we managed to turn this fight around thanks to his weapons, and he has come back to help again.”

Kizer reached in and started to hand out the weapons inside to the others, while Reno secretly passed weapons up to the top of the wall from behind.

It was then, in the army of around two thousand that were there to protect Flendon, that they had turned into small groups. Lilly, a spear user from the Crimson Crane, was taking charge of those with spear-like weapons.

Alba was in charge of the swordsmen along with Kizer. Tilon had his hand on those with shields. While finally, Froma had made it to the top, where all the ranged bowmen were concentrated.

They now all had new weapons in their hands, but even before that, Froma went to look at Alba at the bottom.

”Trust me, Alba, let me lead this fight, and let me deal the first attack.”

Alba had trust in her members, and even more trust in the items created by Dark Magus.

She gave her the thumbs up.

ʼRaze must have created quite the weapon again this time, to give her that much confidence,ʼ Alba thought.

It was then that Froma had gotten on the wall and, with everyone ready, shouted to inform Cronker to get back, and Cronker quickly ran back to the wall.

”Who is that... is that who I think it is?” one of the people from far off said.

”It is,” Fixteen shouted. ”Everyone, the Crimson Crane have arrived, they have come to help you. In the past, they warded off the Behemoth Clan, and here they are again to do the same!”

The crowd of people, hearing Fixteenʼs words and meeting the members of the Crimson Crane themselves, shouted with powerful vigor.

”ARGHHHH!” they all yelled with might.

The Behemoth Clan were taken aback; the small town, the small group of people were able to make such noise in front of their forces.

In response to this, it was Sha Mo who raised his fist in the air.

”The duel has ended with the involvement of the Crimson Crane! There is no reason for us to hold back anymore! Since the Crimson Crane is here, there is a high chance the Dark Magus, leader of the Dark Faction, is inside as well.”

”From today, the Town of Flendon is considered traitors working for the Dark Faction! Charge forward and eliminate them!”

The large sound of rumbling was felt by all of those in Flendon. Even those held up in their houses could feel the ground beneath their feet shake.

As the army of twenty thousand strong were on the move, the wall in front of them was coming closer as the people charged forward.

”I guess itʼs time for me to act,” Froma said. ”Now is the perfect time.”

She gathered her hands, and then out from her fingertips, a red flowing substance appeared. From those watching, it looked as if Fromaʼs own blood had come out from her.

For Froma, it felt like her actual blood was coming out of her, flowing into the bow in front.

”I need to help them out as much as possible. This isnʼt going to be the best for first-time use, but Iʼll just have to go for it. A thousand arrows!”

She pulled the blood string, and a giant substance of energy swooped into the sky. It flowed and intertwined as if it was alive, and the rest of the bow had disappeared from Fromaʼs hand with the attack.

The Behemoth Clan members looked up, charging forward, ignoring what was above. There were only a few that stared up and eventually stopped their charge.

”What is that?” one of the men said, and before he knew it, a red arrow pierced right through his head, killing him in one go.

Arrows started to fall on the front line, hitting each of them, causing the men to fall. Those watching didnʼt understand; they swung their swords, but as they did, the arrows moved,

hitting those in vital spots.

There were a few who began to fear the arrows so much they used their devastating Qi techniques, the strongest they knew, and eventually got rid of some of the arrows.

But it was too late, as of the thousand arrows that had fallen from the sky, they had killed over seven hundred of them.

The arrows that had successfully pierced and killed their enemies suddenly melted back into the red substance and once again started to form together.

Seeing this, all of the Behemoth Clan had stopped their advance.

ʼThis is what I wasnʼt looking forward to,ʼ Froma said. ʼThe curse of using this power.ʼ Tears were running down Fromaʼs face, and her whole body was shaking.

All she wanted to do at that moment was run away and wished she had never picked up the bow made by the Dark Magus.
