Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 876: Lightning Body

The entirety of Simyonʼs body was glowing light blue, small sparks of energy coming off it. Even Liam had to admit that Simyon looked somewhat cool right now.

As if a god had descended upon Pagna to protect them. The energy and power surging through him were impressive.

”You think some fancy tricks are going to fool me!” Sha Mo shouted as a giant fist was launched toward the group.

In the middle of a swing by Sha Mo, Simyon had jumped from his position and zapped right to the fist. His body crashed into it and held it in place.

The fist was still moving forward, which showed the sheer power Sha Mo had, but Simyon was faring a lot better compared to before.

”Come on, we have to keep moving as well. Simyonʼs just slowing down the fists so we can act,” Safa ordered.

As she quickly swooped around, running to the side, Sha Mo saw this and moved quickly, pulling his fist back, this time heading for Safa.

Before it reached her, though, Simyon was right there in front of her. His body blocked the punch. Sha Mo went to kick, and Simyon zapped his body to the position again.

Sha Mo quickly used foot techniques, sidestepping around Simyon, and reached where Liam was now. Sha Mo had both hands held together and went to hammer them down.

Just then, Liam felt himself being pushed back, and instead, in his place, Simyon had zapped to the location, holding up both fists above.

Simyonʼs knees were bent, he was gritting his teeth, and it felt like the whole world was being pushed onto his shoulders. As he opened his mouth and continued to bear the grunt, blood could be seen slightly dripping from his mouth.

Safa tried to move around Sha Mo, who was seemingly ignoring Simyon, and she was gesturing for Liam to do the same.

ʼWe have to focus. With Simyon in his new body state, we have to believe that he can block any attacks coming our way, and just go for it!ʼ Safa thought.

ʼSimyon told me a bit about his new abilities. The beads around his neck seem to link up with all his other items. They were discovered inside some type of sword that could absorb the properties of elements and change the sword.ʼ

ʼIt didnʼt do much for Pagna warriors, but Simyonʼs body is more like that of a sword than a warrior. His earring can also take in special traits of magic, it seems.ʼ

ʼWith his thunder glove, he can store the energy in the beads. It changes the state, and with his earring, it seems to have affected his entire body.ʼ

ʼIt makes me think that Amir might have quite a good understanding of artifact magic and other things as well. However, Simyonʼs body is still as strong as it is.ʼ

ʼHis lightning body is increasing his speed, giving him stronger attack power, but he still canʼt overwhelm Sha Mo. So with every hit he blocks, heʼs getting hurt!ʼ

ʼIʼll trust in you, Simyon!ʼ Safa thought as she charged in, kicking off her feet.

The end of her spear was lighting up until the whole head was bright. Her magic and Qi condensed to one point, and she thrust it forward.

At the same time, Sha Mo went to throw a punch from above, but zapping around, Simyon was there taking the hit. Safa pushed the spearhead, hitting right into the center of Sha Moʼs stomach.

At the same time, Liam was able to know Safaʼs movements thanks to the system, and he was now in the air, holding the sword, ready to strike from above.

As Liam swung his sword down, Sha Mo moved his head to the side, and the sword crashed onto his shoulder. Powerful Qi was stopping the attack, and it was the same with the spear as well.

Safa was pushing, and even with the strength of the powerful spear, it was unable to pierce the stomach of Sha Mo.

”You are all fools!” Sha Mo said, spinning his body. A leg was raised to kick Liam in the air, while a fist was ready to hit Safa.

At that moment, Simyon used all his speed to zap himself through the air, blocking the punch and taking the brunt of the pain for Safa.

Right after he had taken the hit, he quickly moved to where the leg was to hit Liam.

Simyon, taking the full brunt of the kick and just having been punched, had his whole body shot to the ground and bounced across the floor.

Liam placed his sword, digging it into the ground, and quickly rushed off while Safa had pulled back as well.

ʼSimyon, heʼs too hurt! Weʼve only managed to survive this long because of him.ʼ

Safa, although in a different position and far away, then thrust her spear forward again, and a beam of light hit Simyon on the ground.

In almost an instant, Simyon could feel the soreness in his body starting to disappear. The pain was going, and the energy was coming back to him.

He got off the ground, and it didnʼt take long for him to feel as good as new again.

Simyon looked at himself, still in his lightning body state, and looked over at where Safa was. When the two made eye contact, Safa gave a nod.

ʼIʼve increased my Light magic powers exponentially, focusing on them rather than my Qi,ʼ Safa thought. ʼWith the Lux Spear, this has become one of my strongest traits.ʼ

ʼIf your body breaks down, Iʼll keep healing you. Iʼll fix you again and again, so you can continue being the shield of this entire group.ʼ

”If heʼs the shield, and youʼre the one fixing everything, then I guess itʼs time for the sword to do something!” Liam said as he swung his fingers in the green ring of his blade.

As he did this, the sword started to split apart. Something had broken off from it and began to float in the air.

This continuously happened until there were now eight of the same swords floating right above Liamʼs head. Not only that, but then Safa noticed, all across the battlefield on the ground, the same sword had been stuck on the floor, all in different locations.

”You two werenʼt the only ones that were getting stronger,” Liam said.
