Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 939: Raze vs Belil (Part 2)



The moment Raze saw Belil lift his hand in the air, he had a strange feeling. A massive amount of energy could be felt coming out from Belil's body.

It was a little different from Raze's own Dark Edge Sword Arts, but there was definitely a sense of familiarity, causing the hairs on the back of his neck to stand up.

It made him think for a moment; maybe this was how others felt when they saw his attack.

'I need to move!' Raze spun his body with wind and tried to cast Wind magic to force his propulsion down. Right at that moment, Belil swung his fist in the air.

Coming out from his hand and arm was orange energy that shot out, covering a wide area. It was large in size, covering nearly all the area that could be seen.

The attack went further forward, reaching and piercing the skies, splitting the clouds apart. Raze had touched the floor, and when he looked up, he could still see the energy of the attack going past him, until the orange glow on his face had disappeared from the reflection of the attack.

His eyes then laid on Belil in front of him, who looked at his own fist.

"Do you really think the Dark Edge Sword Arts, which was created by me and Bofan, could be used against me? Not only that, but those techniques were created long ago... if anything, I know the perfect way to counter them, and let me tell you now"

"Although I don't know how to use magic, I know how to use all of the formations, as they are formations belonging to me in the first place."

Honestly, before Raze had used the attack, he had an inkling that this would happen, but he had to try it. After all, he was now a Dark Mage with high affinity.

His attacks might be stronger than Bofan's, and he had special weapons in his hands along with learning how to perform a dual strike with the technique.

In some ways, Raze believed he had made it his own, but his attack was useless, and now seeing it from one of the creators, his was perhaps half as effective.

"Come on, do it. I know you want to test if the Dark Edge Sword Arts really work against me or not. I'm sure they have helped you throughout your journey, so this is a first for you!" Belil claimed.

"Very well, then let's test it!" Raze said as he charged forward.

There had to be something, something he could do, something he could use to get through. In the meantime, he would at least try his own way of the Dark Edge Sword Arts.

As Raze came close, Dark magic started to surround both of his swords. With his increased Qi and mana, he was able to use the first formation, the Shadow Bind Formation, with both of his weapons.

'Was Bofan able to do this?' Raze swung both swords wrapped in Dark magic, and they swirled and intertwined within Belil's body, wrapping around him.

Then, right after, Raze even changed weapons and swung an attack, hitting his feet. Ice started to freeze over at the bottom, reinforcing the position Belil was in.

"Now, time for... What?" When Raze went to try and swing his blade, he noticed his legs and arms were wrapped in strange orange energy, and the power was seeping into him.

It was draining him as it touched him. When Raze looked up, Belil had already broken out, and both his arms were wrapped around like a snake in strange orange Qi.

"I bet you didn't even see me use my skill, right? There's no point in binding if someone can see it coming. They will just avoid it and attack you back!"

In a desperate situation, Raze managed to cast Dark magic over his body, exploding it out like particles. It disrupted the bindings around him, and he quickly moved back.

Dark energy came out like a mist from his sword as the Nightmare Veil Formation was created. With swings of his sword, the dark mist in the area formed the appearance of beasts coming at him.

"Now, this is something that I have always hated. This is not something I can particularly do, and it suits more of your mage's tricky type, but there's a simple way to deal with this."

The dark mist started to swirl, forming into a tiger beast that leapt right at Belil.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Calm as ever, Belil looked up, opened his mouth, and let out a single loud scream.

"AH!" The scream echoed with power, and just like when he had pounded his two fists together, a wave of Qi rippled from his body.

It pushed and destroyed all of the dark energy in the air, moving it away, and the Nightmare Veil Formation was gone just like that-it was practically useless.

"Even if that touched me, it wouldn't have hurt my body," Belil claimed.

"Right, right, but this might!" Belil looked to his side and saw Raze's feet sparkling with a type of lightning.

At the same time, Dark magic and Qi had gathered at the back of his sword. Raze exploded forward, lightning shooting off his foot, giving him immense speed.

At the same time, the Void Pulse Formation was used. Ripping through the air, with a current of lightning, Dark magic, and Qi behind him, Raze's sword thrust forward, aiming for Belil's chest.

The sword almost touched his skin, but Belil blocked the attack with his palm. The very tip of Raze's sword pushed against the palm of his hand.

"Well, would you look at that, you managed to make a cut," Belil stated. Blood dripped down his palm and fell onto the floor.

It was as Belil said, during the whole fight, with everything that Raze had done, including using his magic, there wasn't a single wound on him.

"I guess it means it's finally my turn to go on the attack," Belil stated.
