Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 970: Losing all Power

With Safaʼs god eyes, there were a few things that she was able to see: the large flow of mana in the room, the flow of mana around certain individuals and devices, and in particular, what type of mana was being used.

All of the vials that the religious members were taking, including the energy and powers they were using to attack them-all of it was light magic. It was why her Lux sword was acting up as she entered certain places and why she was able to even counter and control other magics that were being used her way.

The round sphere-like device in Carlʼs hand, she also knew that it was a device that was powered by powerful light magic. Knowing a few light spells herself, she had assumed that the flash of light was to blind oneʼs opponents and then give them the chance to attack.

All of them had been blinded by the magic that had come out of the spear. It had a wide range of use, and they felt no pain. This was the case with many light magic spells, as there werenʼt too many that could be used as an attack.

Even the beams of energy that the Rylon religion members were using were more like pure forms of mana to attack rather than light magic spells.

So then Safa was wondering why, currently she was struggling to gather her mana. She could see it flowing around her, but it was almost as if she couldnʼt use her mana core to control it.

With her mana not working, she next tried to summon her Qi as well, yet this was doing nothing as well.

She opened her mouth, ready to call out to the others to inform them that something was wrong with her, when Liam spoke instead.

”I think... we canʼt use our powers,” Liam stated.

”What do you mean we canʼt use our powers!” Simyon called out, and when he turned his head, Carl had dashed toward him.

Carl himself didnʼt look to be using the magic energy, but his body was still glowing with power. The way he moved was much more like that of a Pagna warrior. He had burst over and with a fist punched Simyon in the stomach as hard as he could.

”ARGHHH!” A scream came out of Carlʼs mouth. ”How is your body so hard... I took away your Qi!”

Simyon could feel it; he no longer had Qi in his body that he could use to power himself. His lightning body and his forms of magic were gone, but his body was reliant on the item he wore. Although he could use Qi to strengthen his body.

Simyonʼs body was completely refined anew and was more like that of a weapon. So even with strange things happening, his body was incredibly hard even to a warriorʼs fist. Out of everyone, Carl had chosen the worst opponent.

With Carl in front of him, Simyon threw his fist down, but it completely missed as Carl moved out of the way.

ʼMy fists are so slow without Qi... Iʼm just using my regular body strength!ʼ

Liam had come and tried to attack from the side, even throwing out his weapon, but Carl shot out a beam of energy from his hands, hitting the duplicated weapon away, then hitting Liam in the stomach and sending him away.

Safa and Anna, using this opportunity and not worrying what was going on with their bodies, had decided to pincer in Carl, attacking him from both sides.

ʼEven though I donʼt have the system to help me out at the moment, I can guess what Safa is doing from all my experience of fighting!ʼ

The fist and spear were thrown toward Carl, but with both of his hands, he had hit the spear or the sword away, and knocked the fist of Anna away. It had knocked their bodies slightly off balance. Now Carlʼs hand was beaming with energy again, and it burst, hitting both of them. Anna was flung back just like Liam, and the sensation and power was hurting her body a lot more as well. She eventually crashed into the wall, her body feeling sore.

ʼI can tell the nanobots in my body are still working. I donʼt have the body of a natural human, but something is definitely up with them. That shouldnʼt have hurt as much as it did. Will things be back to normal, and how much longer until they are?ʼ

However, there was one person who hadnʼt been hit back as far as he would have liked; instead, he was right next to her, swinging the spear again. She swung it, hitting the back of Carl. His body jolted slightly but it didnʼt hurt much.

Before Safa could pull it back and thrust the tip, Carl then held onto the spear itself.

”I see you werenʼt affected by the hit from before; was it because of this spear? I feel like I recognize it,” Carl said, with a large smile.

With the great strength in his hand, Carl knew he could still use Qi, while the girl, although having survived the hit, she would be in no way able to help but forcefully allow for the spear to be taken.

”Donʼt let go of that spear, Safa!” Liam shouted and launched himself, grabbing onto part of the body of the weapon. Liam started to pull, as well as Safa, but Carl was still too strong. Carl was ready to yank the weapon when another pair of hands had landed on the weapon; these were firm.

”Iʼm here as well... if he gets this, along with that strange orb he has, who knows what heʼll be able to do!”

All three of them were pulling as hard as they could but despite that, with no Qi in their bodies, it was a losing battle for them. Carl yanked the spear, causing the three to topple over each other, and when they looked up they could see that Carl now had the Lux spear in his hands.

And Safa could see the energy shining from his body into the weapon.
