Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Chapter 65 A New Weapon

The loud bang in the room had come from an instrument that the warriors of Pagna had never seen before. They looked on the ground at Targress, and unlike the times before when they were hit with sorcery from Raze, he wasn't getting up this time. The blood pouring from his head showed that quite clearly.

The powers of Qi made a person superhuman, and when they reached close to the pinnacle of the initial stage, they would be able to block regular swords with their bodies. However, none of the elders had reached such a stage, which made the technology of something like a gun a deadly weapon.

"It's quite difficult to get ammo in this world, so please, don't make me waste too much?" Himmy asked.

One of the other elders took a step, trying to move, and instantly Himmy moved, firing out another shot. The loud bang occurred, but unlike with Raze's magic, they were unable to move fast enough. The bullet went right through the side of the elder's head, causing him to fall straight to the floor.

Witnessing people die so easily in front of their very eyes was a very frightening thing for them. Not a single member wanted to move after that. They didn't quite understand what was happening, just that while whatever the large man was holding was pointed at them, their lives were at risk.

Listening to the words of Himmy, Charlotte burst into action as she ran towards the center of the room. Everyone was frozen out of fear, but she still needed to be careful. The one thing mages had compared to Pagna warriors was the ability to use their magic at a distance.

Seeing this, Himmy caught on quickly. "You two, it's best if you close your eyes."

These people clearly knew more than them. Elder Yon was starting to understand that the Alter group was able to do things beyond what they could understand, so if they wanted to live or get out of the situation, it was best for them to just listen.

Charlotte lifted one of her hands in the air, and her eyes started to glow slightly white.

'I see what she's trying to do now,' Raze closed his eyes as well. It was a move that was extremely effective that was used by many in combat.

"Illuminate!" Out from the palm of Charlotte's hand, a bright white light shined, covering the entire room. Those who still had their eyes open were blinded and even felt a great stinging sensation.

"Open!" Charlotte shouted, the signal that it was now okay for the rest of them to do so.

When they did, they could see that many of the clan members were rolling about on the floor. The elders were squinting down hard, and even when they opened their eyes, they could only see grey blurs through their vision.

Running out of the room, they quickly went down the hallway. "Head towards the back exit; there will be fewer of them," Raze ordered.

As they took a turn, they could see more clan members with weapons in their hands coming towards them, four in total.

"Can you deal with two of them? I'll take care of the others," Charlotte asked.

"Not unless you want me to kill them," Raze answered honestly in the heat of the moment. His mana was already running low. He needed it if he was going to continue to fight at the temple. With the way his enchanted ring worked as well, he needed to kill to be able to regain a small amount of mana back. At the same time, he wasn't confident enough in just the two-step shift skill that he knew. It hadn't been long since he had become a Pagna warrior, so he had nothing else he could use.

"Do you think I have unlimited mana or something? I can't do this by myself!" Charlotte shouted as she started to swirl both of her hands. "Wind twister!" She shouted, and two large whirlwinds came out of her hands, knocking right into the stomachs of the front two.

It had banged one into the other, which allowed the two to get past without the need to use any more skills.

Eventually, the two managed to go out the back, where there was just a wall they needed to get over. With a jump and using the power of the wind, Charlotte had reached the top of the wall.

For Raze, he gathered the Qi that he had in his body and used the muscles to leap up, just reaching the top of the wall with his hand. He then pulled himself up to the wall.

"It looks like being a Pagna warrior has its uses. I'm getting a little jealous," she said.

It was time for the two of them to head to the temple and to do so as quickly as they could. Looking at the sky though, Raze could see the sun was starting to set.

'Wait a moment, the time. I was in that cell for an entire night, and now it's already heading towards evening? Which means it should be any moment now.'

Back at the temple, Kron had been putting up a tough fight. He was huffing and panting, but his clothes were covered in marks while his skin had been slashed with the sword all over. His blood was dripping, and he was getting weaker by the second.

Formations were extremely powerful things, and used in the right way, they would allow lower-ranked Pagna warriors to take on those who were higher ranked.

'The kids, most of them got away, right?' Kron had also been fighting desperately, pushing himself while the kids were able to get out of their room and escape.

"This old man, he won't fall!" the clan member shouted annoyed. Now that there were no children for them to use, he knew it was going to be hard to take the ex-leader down.

"Check the rooms, see if there are any of those runts left!" the squad leader shouted.

Those at the side quickly went swinging the door open. Kron went to move, but he was met with a sword thrust at him from the front and the side, stopping his movements.

The clan member was opening door by door, looking inside to see if there was anyone, and when he swung one door open, his eyes laid on two who were in the room.

"I found some!" the man shouted.

Immediately, he went to grab Safa, who was standing in front of her, but she leaned back in time and struck with a large kick to the side of his leg. It was a solid hit, but there was next to no power.

"What is this kid even saying?" The clan member said, as he moved in closer. There was a chill in the air as he got closer; something wasn't quite right.

"I... I... I..." Simyon continued to mumble, repeating again and again. "I... I... I."

At that moment, the ring on his ear started to glow slightly.

[The requirements for breaking the seal have been achieved.]

[The seal is now breaking.]
