Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 897: Caught in the Fire

Seeing the way Raze was and the way he had been acting, the others wished to stop him, and there were a number of reasons for them doing so.

Some of them had sensed a strange look in Razeʼs eyes, believing he had gone somewhat overboard. While others thought that Razeʼs power had to be close to its end.

He had already been fighting Sha Mo for quite a long time before all of this had happened. Any moment now, they imagined he would collapse like he did before.

They couldnʼt believe that drawing so much power wouldnʼt have any type of drawback.

The main issue was, all of them still felt incredibly weak. Still, they pushed themselves beyond what they could, Simyon even carrying Safa on his back.

He stayed behind everyone else because he didnʼt want them to see her wound, while the others marched forward, going through the crowd of people.

They hadnʼt made it very far; they could still see Raze in the distance, and when he used his powers, they too had been caught in it, their feet frozen and them in the same position.

”Yeah, my balls, heʼs getting weak!” Liam said. ”This guy just froze the entire battlefield just like that.”

”Do you think he might have forgotten about us?” Mada said. He had activated the power of his boots, but they were the worst thing to use in this situation.

Instantly, his power was freezing up. It went to show that this power of magic was far greater than the artifacts they used.

”What do you mean, forgotten about us?” Mantis said. ”Are you saying weʼre going to get killed with the rest of these people?”

”Well, if he wanted to, he could have just electrified the water and killed us all in one go,” Anna added. ”But it appears that he has avoided that option for a reason.”

”Yeah, because he wants to torture all these people, just like he did Sha Mo. You guys said that before-heʼs lost his mind!”

”He wouldnʼt do that,” Rayna added. ”You also saw what he just did-he carefully picked out and eliminated only those from the Behemoth Clan. He didnʼt hurt anyone from the town of Flendon.”

When Rayna spoke, Anna could tell there was slight worry in her voice. Although Raze was able to distinguish people, was it only because there was a clear line?

Among these eight thousand people, was it quite possible that they were just a number to Raze?

While in the air, Raze had created two large fireballs in his hands and hurled them toward the large group of people.

The fireballs crashed into the warriors and engulfed them completely, and even when crashing, parts of the flames broke out and went onto others.

Part of their clothing caught on fire, and the rest of them burned.

”Why is it burning my skin? Iʼm using my Qi... but itʼs still burning, itʼs still burning! AHHH!” the man screamed, unable to move his feet.

Due to the intense heat, some of the warriors could move slightly again, and this time, they were turning away from the town of Flendon.

”The pain you are all feeling is only slightly what I have experienced. At least you will die with only physical pain. I will have to be satisfied with this, as I am unable to make you suffer even more!”

The large fireballs continued to be hurled at the front line, exploding and killing many in one go. Screams were heard, and from the back, the other members were seeing the large explosions of fire in front of them.

They stayed there in fear as they watched, waiting for the fireballs to come after them next. ʼThis is my power. I donʼt need any help. I can get my revenge!ʼ Raze thought. ʼReally?ʼ A voice was heard speaking in his head once more-the Bloody woman. ʼYou say you were so powerful, so powerful that you were able to defeat that man on your own.ʼ

ʼIs that really the case? If you were so strong, then why couldnʼt you save her? Why werenʼt you able to save that girl?ʼ

The vein on the side of Razeʼs head was seen protruding more, and he stopped flying, heading down to the ground. As he walked forward, those who hadnʼt been struck by the flames, Raze flicked his hand, and a wind slash appeared, slicing at their throats or tearing their bodies in half.

Raze continued to walk forward, throwing a fireball in another direction and then continuing to use Wind magic to finish off the others.

”You know, if you had just used my power when I let you, she would have lived!” the Bloody woman shouted.

”ARGHH!” Raze shouted as he spun, and fire spit out from both of his hands in a circle, burning everything in sight.

The Blazer was protecting him, and he could cast Wind magic to blow the heat away from hitting him.

As the flames started to die down, Raze could still see there were more, still trapped in the distance.

He had only gone through around a quarter of the army.

”Right, right, but keep telling yourself youʼre strong. Just admit it-youʼre weak. Thatʼs why you lost her, and thatʼs why you lost Safa as well!”

The thoughts continued to fill Razeʼs head. Images flashed of his memories of the past, everything he had gone through. Everything the Grand Magus had put him through.

The words of the Bloody woman seemed true in that moment. These people-why did they have to attack? Why did they have to get involved?

If they had just left him alone, if they had just left those he cared about alone, they would all be fine.

Fireballs were thrown out in every direction in a fit of rage, and it was at that point that Raze didnʼt even realize that he had thrown one heading directly toward Rayna and the others.

”F**k my balls,” Liam said as a small miniature sun was heading right toward their group.
