Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Harbour and the others had stayed on the second-floor staircase and were overlooking what was happening below. Based on the panic on Harbour's face, they had initially thought they would all have to get involved, but seeing how things were now, even with 6 middle-stage warriors, Raze was able to handle them all.

Not just that, he wasn't lying; he wasn't using the full extent of his powers. "Although he has just reached the middle stage, his strength is that of an 8th stage warrior, a mid-eighth stage warrior at least!" Harbour said, surprised.

"Your naming sense sucks," Charlotte complained. "Middle-stage warriors, rank what, 7th, 8th, and 9th, but between those stages, you basically have low, mid, and high, is that right?"

"Ergh, yeah, I guess we're just used to it. Right now, Raze, having just gotten into the 7th stage, which is known as the middle stage for warriors, should be a low seventh-stage warrior, but he's showing the strength of a mid-eighth stage warrior," Harbour explained, which made them understand a bit more.

Since the first few scuffles against Raze weren't successful, now the middle-stage warriors were cautious, and even Neon had let go of Ivor, allowing him to run to the side of the room.

The hostage seemed useless to them since Raze showed no hesitation in his actions when attacking.

"That must be the sword right!" Neon called out. "Now we understand why they were willing to pay us so much for this mission. They knew how hard it was going to be."

"You never know," the woman wrapped the chains around her arms. "It might be that sword that's giving him these strange protection powers. If we can get the sword off him, it might be a lot easier."

There was another thing that the wanderers were wondering as well as they circled Raze, ready to attack; there was one of them that hadn't attacked from the group just yet.

"Are you going to sit around, or are you actually going to join in the attack this time?" Neon said, looking at Elvlin.

To the wanderers, Elvlin, being from the Crimson Crane, was the most infamous out of all of them, and they assumed that she had the most strength as well. Yet, for sreason, even though there were chances, she hadn't attacked.

"Right," Elvlin answered as she placed her glaive in front of her. She continued to look at the young man in front of her. She had been looking at the attacker ever since he had entered, and rather than looking at the weapon in his hand, she was looking at his face.

'Why does this person's face feel so familiar to me?' Elvlin thought. 'But no matter how much I rack my brain, I can't think of who this could be. I wouldn't forget a strong middle-stage warrior like this. This person's strength, it feels like I'm going up against Alba.'

Shaking her head, she tried to forget about this nagging feeling that was at the back of her mind. Instead, she was focused on the sword.

'I can feel the strong energy from that sword, no doubt it's helping this person in the fight. With the attack against Axe, it just shows how strong that sword is. If I manage to complete this task and take the sword for myself, I might either be able to sell it for a better glaive, or just use it instead of what I have now.'

'I won't have to wait or rely on that Dark Magus to makea weapon.'

Holding her glaive once again, she was ready to attack this time.

At the stime, three people charged in: Axe, Neon, and one of the other swordsmen. They weren't used to attacking together or in formations because they weren't from regular clans like other warriors, but they knew attacking together would make it more difficult for the other to defend.

"This fight is now going to be a lot harder than you think," Raze said as he looked directly at one of the swordsmen.

Right as they lifted their sword performing a special technique, Raze could see the chain coming out at the side, ready to hit him in his ribs. It was the sfor the other attackers.

"Now that I know it's hard for you to hurt me, I can focus on attacking at full force!" Raze swung his sword down in front of the swordsman and met his sword straight on.

It was the Devil's Waterfall strike formation. The strike was powerful, and as it hit the sword ahead, Axe's fist, the chain, and another sword had all hit him at the stime.

Immediately, the effect of the blazer had activated, and the sword glowed up even more. The power surged, and all of the attacks felt like they had just hit an insurmountable wall. It wasn't strong enough to push them away, but it didn't matter.

Raze had struck without hesitation in front of him, breaking the man's sword, and then he slashed his sword again right across his chest, splattering a diagonal line of blood.

Immediately, the others jumped back; this wasn't their fellow clan member, they were all in this job for themselves. They wouldn't protect him but instead saw this as a chance.

"This worked earlier, so it might work now; instead of attacking, I'll wrap around the sword instead!" The woman with the chains had successfully wrapped it around the sword.

And the others by the side saw this as a chance; they could attack once again. They were ready to head in, but before they did, there was one that had moved faster and was already there before the others.

When Raze turned around, he could see the large glaive right in his face; he didn't have tto use a proper technique and instead just swung the sword to match the glaive.

The two clashed, and a massive amount of Qi started to ripple through the air, pushing the others away slightly. This battle of Qi was slightly stronger compared to all the other clashes before.

There was no telling who would win this clash of attacks.

From above, Anna was doing an analysis of the person who had just attacked. "That warrior might be troublesif Raze is still planning to hold back," Anna stated. "That is Elvlin from the Crimson Crane, the biggest and considered the strongest Wanderer Clan there is."

"Yeah, I noticed as well," Harbour commented. "Should we go and help?"

"I don't think there will be a problem; it doesn't seem like any other members of the Crimson Crane are currently present, he can still handle this himself."

While the strong clash was still hitting Raze, he was noticing something; the blazer, even now, as the attack was hitting him, was taking sof the hit, drawing the power away from the strike.

The Lux Sword along with the blazer were proving to be incredibly strong.

'My attack is weakening, that sword, I have to have it!' Elvlin thought, but still, there was something about the person in front of her. Now they were so close, she was wondering what it was that was bugging her.

With the two of them being close, she wasn't the only one that had a strange feeling while looking at the person in front of her.

"Elvlin," Raze called out.

Hearing that nflicked a light switch in her head; now she knew where she had seen this face before. 'He's… the Dark Magus.'
