Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 863  A Special Headband

The intense fight with the people of Flendon was still continuing on, and it was inevitable that there were some losses among those fighting for the town of Flendon.

Once in a while, a skilled warrior would get through their formations and be able to attack and flank from the side while members of the Crimson Crane were busy fighting.

Still, even though this was the case, although the fight had been going on for a short while now, the losses on the town of Flendonʼs side might have been around fifty or so at most.

Seeing how many were still present and still fighting was giving them the will to keep going.

Alba had retreated back with her group of swordsmen and was constantly running around to parts of the front line and attacking. She then could see a large group of warriors that were piled up fighting against Tilon and the Shield Bearers.

ʼWhile the momentum is in our favor and things are going well, we can keep fighting!ʼ Alba thought.

She came rushing in with the group not too far behind her. The Behemoth Clan members had noticed and changed their target, but as Alba was spotted, she increased her speed and then swiped her two swords in a large X position, taking out a large majority of them in a single attack.

After that, she jumped, spinning her body to the side, her sword slicing right through one of the members, and then slamming it onto the ground, she used the power to propel herself into the air.

She spun, knocking and slicing those that had jumped above, trying to get to the members in the back, and upon landing, she crashed, emitting her Qi out and making the others unstable.

The guards followed, getting rid of those that Alba had managed to bypass and hurt, or those that were now unstable on their footing.

ʼStill, I have to remember theyʼre not Pagna warriors. Although the losses are small now, at some point they will get tired, and thatʼs when large losses will start to come from our side.ʼ

She looked up at the wall, and the archers were already beyond fatigued, having pulled their bows nonstop. Their arms were incredibly heavy, and parts of the skin had already torn from their fingers.

”Everyone, remember the pills; they will recover your energy. Those with slightly blue-colored pills, take them now. Those with dark-colored blue pills, take them only when you can no longer open your eyes!” Fixteen shouted.

The pills in question he was talking about were the Dark Magus pills that he had handed out.

Alba, seeing this, knew those fighting on the ground had some pills as well. It would give them a second wind, but would it be enough to intimidate the Behemoth Clan?

No, that wouldnʼt happen unless the key members were taken out.

”Rayna, I hope you can get the job done quickly, because right now, there seems to be no sight of Raze at all. What happened? He wouldnʼt have just abandoned us… would he?” Alba thought, as slight doubts were entering her mind.

After all, it wasnʼt as if she had known Raze for years like some of the other members in the Crimson Crane. Either way, they were in the middle of it now, and she wouldnʼt abandon the people that were fighting by her side.

Out on the field, due to Annaʼs keen eye, both she and Rayna had gone out and intercepted a strong foe. Right in front of them was another one of the Behemoth Clan Pillars, Umonke.

The two of them were cautious, and others had stepped away from Umonke, allowing him to fight freely as they continued to charge.

They knew too well how sharp his sword was, and if they got hit by a stray swing, their bodies would be sliced apart.

”I saw this one fighting with Cronker before. We have to be careful; heʼs quite the strong one!” Rayna claimed as both her boots started to light up, and right by the heel, a solid glowing ring could be seen.

Rayna charged forward and jumped in the air while thrusting her spear out. At the same time, Umonke swung his sword, and the two clashed.

When they hit, Umonke felt something off occurring. The spear was swung slightly to the side, but he couldnʼt quite put his finger on it.

Right after, Rayna landed on the ground and started to thrust her spear forward. Seeing her in place, Umonke again went to strike several times, and Rayna was hitting them back.

Out of the two of them, it was clear that Umonke had more strength, and Rayna looked like she could barely block the attacks.

It was then that Umonke jumped back, and Rayna stayed focused, keeping her eyes on him.

”Does the Neverfall Clan have some new tricks Iʼm not aware of? You were a fool to step on this battlefield. Maybe you thought the name of your father would put me off, but we knew the consequences fully before making this decision!”

Umonke jumped from his position and spun his entire body. Right when he reached Rayna, he swung his blade again, crashing into the side of Raynaʼs spear.

She had blocked the attack, and the immense amount of Qi had hit her. She even screamed in pain, but she was still standing there, still in the same spot.

”What… is going on?” Umonke asked.

The answer lay in the special artifact that Rayna managed to get her hands on. One of the clans had a pair of metallic boots that others didnʼt think much of, and when she had heard its effect, truthfully, she didnʼt think much of them either.

They allowed anyone who was wearing them the ability to not be knocked back. Whoever was wearing them would firmly stay planted in place.

During a fight, Rayna was learning how much she could use that to her advantage. Even when struck with stronger blows, her body wouldnʼt get flung back. When fighting in the air, she couldnʼt get struck out of it.

Sure, she could still get cut, but this made it so she now had more of an even playing field when fighting someone who was stronger than her.

One just had to be brave enough to stay in the heat, and she was certainly more than brave.

”It seems you are doing well. I guess itʼs time for me to get involved as well.” Anna said as she pulled out a golden headband. It went right around, and then at the front, the two ends didnʼt touch and instead had the image of feathers on them.

”Iʼve worked out what we need to do to win this match!” Anna claimed.
