Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 895: How Do You Stop That?



Blinded by the anger that filled Raze, seeing another precious person taken away from him, he had almost forgotten the reason why he had decided to fight Sha Mo in the first place.

The reason he had decided to defend the town of Flendon. Too many things had happened, especially with the Deleter attacking them in the middle of everything.

The reason was to defeat Sha Mo and extract his Qi using the Demonic Extraction technique. By doing this, Raze was sure he would reach the next stage in the middle stage.

Then he would be only one stage under those like Sha Mo and Belil, and combined with his magic power, there was a good chance he would be able to best anyone in Pagna.

Thankfully, because Raze was focused on inflicting as much pain on Sha Mo as possible, Sha Mo was still alive, barely.

He was lying on the floor, blood pouring from his mouth, his body jerking occasionally. How much longer he had to live was anyone's guess.

But it was quite clear that in the condition he was in, there was no chance for him to speak. There was nothing left for him to say.

Raze approached Sha Mo's body, walking over slowly. Then, without even bending down, he lifted Sha Mo by raising his hand.

"This body of mine is exactly like my old body. It doesn't seem to have the same effects as its Pagna self," Raze said. "So as an old man, I'm not exactly agile enough to bend down and pick you up, but thankfully, my magic is strong enough to lift your body."

Reaching out with his old hand, the extraction technique started to work. The only sounds that came out of Sha Mo's mouth were as the energy drained from his body, slowly being added to Raze's.

Eventually, Sha Mo's body was just shriveled up, darkened, and dropped to the ground. One of the greatest in the Demonic Faction was now unrecognizable to all.

"Some might think I should thank you," Raze said as he looked at the body. "Because of you, I have accomplished what no mage has before me. For a researcher like me, these achievements are what I live for... at least what I used to live for."

"It's because of you that I managed to unlock this, but at what cost? If I could, I certainly would rather have them back alive."

Those watching didn't fully know what to think. The great enemy they were facing, that they had so much trouble with, had ended.

It was hard for them to believe that such a foe was taken out. Maybe they would have understood it more if it was with techniques, with punches and kicks.

But equally, it was with powers they didn't understand, and just like that, the threat was gone.

Raze, on the ground, clenched his fist a few times. Ever since he had used his breakthrough, he was unable to feel the Qi inside his dantian.

All he could feel was Mana all over his body. So he wasn't quite sure if the extraction technique had worked, if it had allowed him to reach the next stage.

He also wasn't quite sure of the side effects after performing the breakthrough. Usually, one wouldn't be able to use their Mana for a while, but what about Qi?

Could Raze continue to fight with his Qi? If that was the case, as long as he figured out how to regularly break through, it would be a big bonus to him.

'Still, fighting with just my Pagna techniques is lacking in strength. The combination of magic and Qi is second to the form I currently have now.'

"I wonder what he's thinking," Ricktor said with a smile.

"He just defeated a Demonic Faction leader!" Mantis said. "His name will go down in legends."

"That's if his name hasn't already. His name was being spread well before this, and he has made the first large impact in the world of Pagna as the leader of the Dark Faction."

"Does this mean it's over?" Mada asked. "With Sha Mo defeated... the fight, it should have stopped, right?"

When they looked around, though, only a few had stopped. When the fighting had gotten intense, many had moved away.

The pressure of the Qi hitting them was affecting them too much. Maybe some of the others would have moved away as well if they could.

This meant that there were few onlookers of the fight, and none of those watching would have ever believed that Sha Mo could be defeated in the first place, yet it happened.

Because of this, though, very few people were even aware of Sha Mo's defeat, and the attack on the town of Flendon had continued.

The statue was doing its best to protect, but the Behemoth Clan had started to spread out even wider, making the line of attack stretch out so it wasn't so concentrated on one part of the wall.

This allowed a few warriors to get in, making it incredibly difficult for those inside to fight them off.

"It's not over," Mada said. "Even though we took out the Pillars, even though we took out Sha Mo, the Behemoth Clan still exists!"

They weren't the only ones that thought this. Raze stood in the center, lifting his old body.

They saw him rising up in the air, and as he spread his hands out, in an instant, all of the rainfall stopped, floating in the air.

Those busy fighting didn't realize it, and right after, Raze flew over to the wall of the town of Flendon.

"They all need to be stopped," Raze said to himself.

When he finally reached the wall, he turned around to face the Behemoth Clan Army that was approaching.

"He still has that look on his face," Simyon said. "This isn't going to be good. He's going to kill everyone here!"

"Alright, you might be onto something. Maybe he does need to be stopped," Liam said.
