Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 884: How Strong is Raze?



Raze and Sha Mo appeared to be having a type of stare-down with each other. Although Raze had drawn his weapons, he hadn't moved.

It was the same for Sha Mo, who was standing there, looking at the small white-haired student.

'This is the person who took over the Dark Faction. I would be a fool to completely

underestimate him,' Sha Mo thought. 'That might be why so many failed before and why the first attack by the Clan had failed as well.'

'Besides that, he seems to have strange powers. It doesn't seem to be like artifacts, and the powers vary greatly.'

While Sha Mo was standing there along with Raze, one person in particular couldn't hold in their curiosity any longer.

"Raze, what happened, man? Why did it take you so long to get here? What was the hold-up?" Liam shouted.

"There were problems at the academy," Raze answered. "A Deleter appeared."

Everyone's hearts sank the moment they heard that. Due to Himmy appearing at the academy before they had left, they had learned about the power of a Deleter.

If the Deleter's strength really was as described, it was no wonder Raze was late.

"Is he hurt?" Rayna asked Anna, as she was aware that she had some abnormal analysis-type skills.

"He doesn't appear to be, but it's hard to tell. Who knows if he's using some strange type of pills to cover up his pain or magic," Anna answered.

Being part of Alter, she was more aware of the Deleter's powers. It would be near impossible that Raze had come out unscathed or at least without using a lot of his energy.

Still, she had one hope or thought, and that was Zon was in the academy city, and if it was him, he could deal with the situation.

"What about the academy? Is that alright?" Mada asked.

"I think it's important I deal with the situation in front of me," Raze said as he shuffled his feet.

"We need to head back to the wall and the town. They will need our help anyway," Anna said as she went to turn, but her lack of energy made her nearly fall straight to the floor.

It was the same for the others as well-they could hardly move. The area a kilometer out in every direction from Sha Mo had remained clear.

No one had come close during the fight, and they had remained at their distance away.

The others were around 50 meters away from the edge of where the Behemoth Clan was. Some of them were still pushing forward, others watching the outcome.

It almost appeared like a giant arena had been made for the two of them.

"You don't have to worry about the wall. There's someone strong enough there protecting it," Raze answered.

At the wall itself, although the force of the Behemoth Clan had been pushed back by the arrows, after a few moments of seeing no more arrows fall, the clan members were starting to become a little braver and had charged forward.

Especially now, seeing that part of the wall had fallen. It was quite clear whoever had shot those arrows was unable to shoot them consecutively.

The Crimson Crane were gearing up-they looked to be the only ones that could somewhat still stand, but they weren't so sure they could fight.

As the people charged forward, a large object landed from the air, heavy on its feet.

For a brief moment, the Behemoth Clan members rushing forward stopped as they could see the figure raising its hand.

It had its palm out, clearly indicating for them to stop.

"Is that a moving statue, or is it just someone that's painted over themselves to look like stone?" a Behemoth Clan member said.

"Don't be stupid, there's no such thing as a moving statue. How can one be alive? It must be some type of illusion art. Just be careful and keep going forward."

Seeing the statue in front of them was a relief for the Crimson Crane, though, as they had seen its powers before.

As the warriors charged forward, it held a stone sword in its hand, placed it near its side, and then let out an almighty slash.

A large force of Qi ended up hitting hundreds of men and had sliced them apart, pushing some of them back.

After performing a single attack, the stone warrior placed its palm out again, indicating for them to stop and even shook its head.

"That stone statue was the one that was even able to go up against Murkel for a bit. It has the same strength as a high middle-stage warrior! With it, we can recover our energy for a bit," Alba said.

The statue had been placed in Safa's possession for a long time, but Raze had borrowed the statue from her.

There were a few tests that he wished to perform on the statue to try and see if he could replace those who had droplets of blood, increasing its strength even further.

He hadn't yet found a complete way, so he hadn't handed the statue back. Arriving at the situation, Raze had quickly ordered Stoney to not let anyone pass the wall, and it was now doing its job.

The Behemoth Clan, thinking it was only a statue, would quickly learn they were going up against an extremely powerful warrior, one that wasn't human, and one that didn't tire either.

Back at the academy, with Skyler and the help of the volunteers, they had managed to help as many students as possible.

They were only getting a fuller grasp of the situation as they went from area to area.

It was unbelievable that so much trouble had been caused by one person.

Walking from area to area, Amir and Zon were together.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"That individual has a temperature that has reached 40 degrees Celsius. He needs to be treated," Zon quickly pointed out and continued.

"I wanted to ask you, do you think Raze is strong enough to take out a Clan Head of the Demonic Faction?" Zon asked.

"I have been training with him for a while," Amir answered and paused. "The power he displayed against Murkel-it seems it was not his power. Because of that, I would imagine

it's a tall ask."

"You see, there is one clear fact: the Demonic Faction has the most powerful leaders. It's only because of their poor management skills and the fact they are less united with far fewer people that they have never managed to take control of the whole of Pagna."

"But if we were to look at the major powers of the Demonic Faction alone, they are far

stronger than the others."

"If he somehow manages to use that power he used against Murkel again, he will win. But I can tell, even if he had the chance, he is extremely reluctant."

"The way you talk, it makes it sounds like he can use that power again." Zon asked

There was an air of silence.
