Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Seeing the white hair on his helper, a string of memories cback to Harbour. All of them, conversations he had with his sister, the last leader of the Lethal Bite Clan.

It was because of her death that a string of events had occurred—the selection of a new leader and Niang clawing his way to the top.

"Is that man… is that man really the one that my sister had a grudge on?" Harbour thought. "He fits everything she said, and how many people at a young age have a full head of white hair? There can't be many out there."

"Am I now helping my sister's killer?"

Harbour knew straight away he should rephrase that word because it wasn't that he was helping him; more so, he was getting help from his sister's killer.

"All of this started because he killed my sister… my family, the loss of the clan, all of the chain of events," Harbour clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white again.

He was thinking that maybe he had it all wrong. That the one he should be angry at, and the one that he should be going against was the White Dragon.

It was what his sister would have wanted. However, another image started to appear in his head, and it was of his family… the last moments he had seen them before heading to the clan.

Because he was unable to even see them in their last moments, not even having permission to give them a proper goodbye, and all of that was because of one person.

"No, I have no idea what situation led the White Dragon to go against my sister. That business is her business. He had no hand in going against my family; the only one that I wish to see perish today is Niang, so I will continue to cheer on the young man!" Harbour thought, confirming his resolution.

With Raze having fought so much in the fight so far, he was finding the strange healing effects of Niang extremely annoying, so he decided to go for a bigger attack.

Lifting up his sword, he was ready to use the Eclipse Strike.

"I have plenty of Qi, and Charlotte is here, so I can't use my Dark magic, but I think this will be enough!" Raze thought.

While the sword was lifted above his head, he decided to risk it. He placed his foot on the ground and slammed it on the floor, using the first step of the descending steps.

Right after that, he continued to go through the motions of each of the steps one by one, the Qi building up. At the stime, he was carefully using them, avoiding Niang's shots with the beam.

"You're like an animal moving around like that; just stay still!" Niang shouted as he constantly fired out several blasts.

A couple had managed to hit Raze, but his blazer had activated, protecting him from the hits and beams of energy.

However, Niang, getting more frustrated, shot out a larger single line of energy from his sword. It was coming out like a laser and now was chasing Raze.

"If he hitswith that...it's going to hurt even more, but I'm only on the 6th step; this will just have to be enough!"

The beam of energy hit him, and at the stime, Raze swung his sword down, performing the Eclipse Strike. A mass amount of Qi used on the Ghost blade managed to overwhelm the attack that had cat him.

It consumed it and carried on going forward. The attack was so large that it had covered the whole of Niang's body and continued forward, destroying the wall behind him.

It was a devastating attack that shook the entire place. When the attack disintegrated, they could see the result. There was a large giant slash going through Niang's body.

It went from his waist to his shoulder. It looked like part of his body was going to fall to the floor due to the large cut that had been made.

Yet there was no blood dripping on the floor; instead, the inside of his body, where the flesh and organs could be seen, were stringing together.

Forming back up and pulling part of the dismembered body back in one place until Niang was back in two again.

"I don't think that's something that Pagna warriors can usually do," Anna said. "Although I could be wrong; I might need to update my data."

"No, you're right," Ivor commented. "That isn't something a Pagna warrior can do; what did Niang do to his body?"

Although Raze had a lot of Qi, all of the Dark Edge formation attacks took up a lot of Qi to use and magic. Which was why he was always reluctant to use them unless he was sure he could finish off his opponent.

During this fight, the 4th formation, the Void Pulse, and the Eclipse Strike had both been used, and both of these times he had failed.

If it was a fight against a more normal opponent, he would have killed Niang at least three times, but this was no normal opponent for Raze.

"You… you…. although I can heal, it still hurts, you..." Niang shouted out.

With the sword still in his hands, he then grabbed it and did something no one expected. He held it toward himself and stabbed it right through his stomach.

It went through his body, to the other end, and was lodged to the point that only the sword guard and the hilt could be seen.

However, just like with all of the attacks, the wound had healed up, his skin was healing over the sword, and the power was still glowing, to the point that Niang's own body was now glowing as well.

He was shining a bright golden glow just like the sword.

Niang threw out his fist, and a beam of energy cout straight at Raze. He was too slow to raise his sword in time; the attack was faster than the last.

Before it touched his skin, though, just like the times before, his barrier activated due to his specially made blazer, but when the strike had hit, like glass, the barrier had shattered.

"It's protectedfrom too many hits; it needs tto restore its magical properties."

This didn't go unnoticed by Niang, and taking this opportunity, he started to punch the air again and again with all the speed he could of an eighth stage warrior.

Raze lifted his sword trying to protect himself from the hits, but his body was being pounded by the energy. It hit his leg, his stomach, his face, his head.

The beams of energy were hitting him every. It was as if he was directly being hit by the fists himself right in front of him.

Blood spurted out from his mouth as several solid blows hit him in the stomach.

"He's going to lose this fight; we have to help him!" Charlotte said.

Another strong hit had hit his stomach, lifting Raze up on his feet, and blood gushed out of his mouth onto the floor.

"Forget covering this crap anymore; I'm sick of getting hurt!" Raze said as magic surrounded his arm. It was covered in black magic.

"Dark Push!" Out from his hand, a large wave of dark energy surged forth, pushing away the Light magic attack.

It continued to propel forward through the air until it struck Niang. The attack left a tingling sensation on his skin.

Startled, Niang's rhythm of attacks halted momentarily, but the sword's healing effect did its job, and he no longer felt pain on his body.

Instead, he focused his attention back on Raze, who wiped his mouth. Still holding the glowing sword in one hand, Raze's other hand was cloaked in darkness.

"What was that… he just used?" Harbour asked.

The others weren't so sure; they assumed it must be one of the many powers he had displayed in the fight so far.

"If he could use something like that, then why didn't he do so from the beginning?" Ivor questioned.

Charlotte was the only one who knew, her eyes glued to his hand.

"He's using… Dark Magic," she mumbled to herself.
