Dark Magus Returns

With Mada exiting the field, now it was just Ricktor and Raze on the arena floor. Seeing the Dark Faction students perform so far, sbelieved that it would still be an interesting fight.

If anything, they might be able to see the Demon perform another spectacular move they hadn't seen before.

"Let's get this started!" Ricktor said with a smile on his face. With one hand, he gathered Qi and seemingly pulled the air forward.

The image of an explosion erupted, and he was propelled forward at a shocking speed. With his sword, he swung it down, and Raze swung his up.

The two of them clashed, and Qi channeled out from the attacks, sending a shockwave out. The dust was kicked up on the floor, and even the Middle stage warriors by the edge of the arena had their hands out.

They had forced sof the Qi out of their bodies in order for the crowd not to feel uneasy.

At that moment, though, the ones that were most shocked by what had just happened were the Middle stage warriors that were on the field itself.

'Such a large amount of Qi... are these two really Initial stage warriors, if they're not, then how are we going to stop this fight!' The Light Faction Warrior thought.

Both of the swords were pushing against each other, and Raze and Ricktor were looking into each other's eyes. Both of them were thinking back to the first clash they had.

'Back then, he was a higher stage warrior than me, but I was able to use magic to helpwin the battle. In front of everyone here, I won't be able to use magic, and it looks like this time... we're at the sstage.'

"I feel like you have figured it out," Ricktor said.

A battle of Qi was continuing with it pulsating from either side of the individual. It was something that hadn't happened in any of the matches before, causing the audience to stand up on their feet.

Unlike Ulyn, who had gone flying, Ricktor was holding his ground.

"What, the fact that you're a Middle stage warrior as well. You must have been working hard, I guess you have a goal," Raze asked.

"Correct, when your goal is several times stronger than you, it causes you to grow quicker."

Raze knew that very well because the Grand Magus's powers would be beyond his at the moment. There was always this fear for Raze, what if he were to run into them right now?

Would he be able to best them? This fear, this drive is what forced him to grow stronger every day without wasting a single second.

Ricktor then lifted his hand in the air again. The Qi was gathering, and it looked almost as if he was going to pull the air to propel him further again.

However, Raze had yet to use any techniques at all; he had simply blocked an attack and was just using his Qi to stop himself.

"Giveyour best shot, I need to see what I can take, so I know if I can go against him," Ricktor claimed.

Seeing what was about to come, Raze thought about his next move until he could sense something. His eyes widened, and he wasn't the only one.

Ricktor lowered his hand, lowering the output of his own Qi. He then pulled his sword away and started to swing it at Raze.

To which Raze was blocking each strike. They clashed carefully, displaying their skills, hitting one another while looking.

Once in a while, they would clash in the center like they had done before.

"You can feel it right, there's a large amount of Qi coming from the Dark Faction viewing area," Raze said.

"I can... it's so incredibly large that it's seeping through, even to here. Something must be happening," Ricktor replied.

At that moment, the image of Safa had appeared in his mind. In doing so, he struck slightly harder with his sword when clashing against Ricktor's.

The condensed Qi was pushing Ricktor's sword, but he wasn't really fighting back because Ricktor had a plan as well.

As he blocked each attack, he was carefully taking a step back. Both of them were on the swavelength.

From the crowd's perspective, they could see the Demon pushing back Ricktor more and more until they were right up by the viewing mirror.

'The Qi is incredibly strong here, is it Murkel, has he found out something? I need to see.'

At that point, Raze placed the sword by his side and spread out his legs behind him. Ricktor had seen this move before.

The Qi was being condensed into the hilt of the blade, and Raze wasn't looking at Ricktor; he was only looking right past him.

Ricktor leaped to the side, and right after Raze unleashed his strike.

"Dark Edge Sword Art's Fourth Formation, Void Pulse!"

The Qi exploded behind the sword and shifted him forward touching the glass. The attack pinpointed to one area, and the hard casing viewing area that was meant to not be destroyed had shattered in that moment.

Once again, everything had happened so quickly that the Middle stage warriors were unable to act.

"He just broke the Dark Faction viewing area!"

"Is this a declaration of war of the Dark Faction?"

"Con, it was an accident he was trying to get the other warrior with his move, but the other one predicted it because we've seen it before."

"You might be right, but what does this mean, will the match be suspended with the viewing area being broken like that?"

After Raze had delivered his attack though, he then stood right by the opening, looking at everyone in the room; he didn't turn to look at Ricktor nor did Ricktor attack him.

"Sorry, it looks like my attack missed," Raze said.

Safa, Simyon, and Liam couldn't believe it. They were too focused on what was happening in the room; they had no idea what was happening with the match outside.

When they needed help, when they were in a desperate situation, Raze had somehow still managed to cthrough, and now fearlessly he was staring at three of the Dark Faction leaders, including Murkel.

The immense amount of Qi was still coming off from Crine, and Mada was being held up on the wall by the visual Qi.

Now Raze knew where it was coming from but had no clue what had caused it all.

As he stood there though, the viewing cameras cin over Raze's shoulder, and now everyone could see the situation in the Dark Faction viewing area.

Mada, blood leaving his mouth, covering the bottom of his clothes, and one of the faction heads dealing with him.

They could only guess it was because of him giving up the fight.

Now seeing the Demon standing there, they wondered what he was going to do, what was the Light Faction going to do that was hosting the event either.

"You sure know how to make an entrance," Murkel said. "But don't you think you're getting ahead of yourself, standing in front of us like that."

Raze looked at Murkel and then looked right past him, ignoring him.

"This is a fight for students, don't you think adults should stay out of this mess? Unless you want to take his place," Raze asked.
