Dark Magus Returns

754 Donʼt Get In The Way

Murkelʼs body had crystallized on the outside, making him appear almost twice as big as before. Everyone could tell this was somewhat of a last-stand skill used by him, and that it was something that not even he had much hope in.

The blooded woman was just walking over to him, the strange blood-like Qi around her fist expanding and retracting in size. It looked like someone who was already bored with the new toy in front of them.

Murkel knew at any moment, she could propel herself forward and strike him. It was just a matter of when.

”Itʼs a shame that even your own family doesnʼt love you anymore,” the woman said, looking at Ricktor in the stands. This proved she had always been an observer of what was happening while being beside Razeʼs body.

”You wonʼt be missed.” She charged forward as she had done before, heading straight.

Murkel, seeing this, kicked off straight ahead. As he focused, one of his eyes began to twitch, and a great pain entered his head.

At that moment, something strange happened—a wall appeared right in front of Razeʼs body. Then it shifted, almost pushing the body forward and ahead. The fist collided with the wall, and as the blood Qi expanded out, Murkelʼs red crystal attack stabbed through Razeʼs chest.

The blooded woman looked down and saw the red crystal piercing her body, blood dripping down.

”This crystal of yours is quite sharp. I never expected you would still have some tricks,” the woman said.

Murkel didnʼt understand what had just happened, but it ended up being a blessing for him. That was until he saw a fist aiming right for his face, bashing into him, destroying the crystal on his body, and sending him flying through the air.

As he flew back, several walls from the floor lifted up. Murkel crashed through a few of them until his back finally crashed into one, and he landed on the floor. Surrounding him completely, several walls appeared until a cube-like object formed on the field.

”What is going on in this fight?” Dame asked.

”The arena, itʼs moving like before. Someone must have gotten to the artifact!” Amir called out.

It wasnʼt just a surprise that someone had gotten to the artifact but also that they would harm the one helping them out in this situation. The only thing Amir could think of was the Light Faction that currently wasnʼt present.

”What did you do!” Hannah called out. She was too shocked by what had occurred to remember to speak with manners when talking to an elder.

She had been watching the fight constantly and many times since the red Hybrid appeared, she was worried for her life, that was until this individual came who was facing him.

Naturally, she was rooting for the one protecting her, forgetting about the full situation. Being younger, the core beliefs and placing the faction above their own interests had yet to be drilled into her.

Even Beatrix had to admit though, even though she was in the Light Faction, this was something that she would have a hard time acting on. Her mind was conflicted wondering if she needed to pledge more loyalty to the Light Faction, if something was wrong with her, or if she was doing wrong. It might have been the first time she had questioned the Light Faction herself.

”I had no choice. Both of these are a big threat to us, and the only one that can do considerable harm to the new studentʼs body is the red Hybrid. In this situation, the red Hybrid is injured enough to now be defeated, and here we can also defeat the Divine being. This is killing two birds with one stone!” Ricar explained.

”The others are worn out and hurt. They will use this chance to kill the red Hybrid, and then we will take out the Divine warrior! If the Divine warrior is left alive, then so many will die in the Light Faction!”

sRicar was looking at the screen. He was sure of it; the other warriors would have the same thought as him. They could see on their faces that they were also concerned about the one who had taken over this new body. It was the natural thought of Pagna warriors, with their mind always focused on survival.

However, Ricar was soon stunned by what he had seen.

”No, no, what are you doing!”

Somewhat like Ricar was expecting, the warriors that had been standing still so far in the fight, those that were watching, had indeed made a move. Those from the Crimson Crane that could still move, Amir, and Dame both had jumped in, followed by Liam and Anna, Rayna, Simyon, and Safa, as well as Ricktor and Mada. All of them were using what little strength they had and entered the arena.

Yet not one of them went to the closed cube-shaped box where the red Hybrid would be. Instead, they had all rushed to Raze, even though he no longer looked the same.

They could clearly see the wound on his chest and his hand holding onto it.

”Raze!” They all called out.

The woman in Razeʼs body, as she looked at all of them, her vision was blurring.

ʼLook at all of these fools, you seem to have gathered many people that somehow care about you… and I thought you were like me, alone in this world.ʼ

”Stop!” she eventually shouted. ”Iʼm fine. Donʼt take this chance away, get him before itʼs too late. There was something strange, a reason why I didnʼt stop attacking him. Heʼs planning something, hurry!” the woman shouted.

The others turned around as soon as they heard this, realizing that Raze was right. They had been rash, and quickly turning around, Rayna, out of everyone, was the first to arrive. She slammed her fist into the wall, breaking it apart.

Everyone was ready to rush in to get rid of Murkel, and thatʼs when they could see inside the dark cube-shaped wall.

”Heʼs… heʼs gone.”
