Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Chapter 67 The Worst In Pagna

Mr Kron had noticed that one of the room's door had remained shut. It was likely that one of the temple kids was still in there. As he saw one of the clan members, all he could do now was hope that they would be okay, while trying to best the situation he was in as well.

'Before I can help others, I need to focus on myself as well!' Kron decided to make a break for it, heading toward one side of the formation.

Three of the clan members dashed forward with swords in their hands and stabbed right into his forearms, but Kron didn't slow down and instead he continued and pushed forward.

With the swords impaled into his body, he grunted through the pain and pushed, his muscles were strong and the Qi fueling them stopped them from pushing inside him further and hurting his vitals.

The arms of the attackers were twisting as he continued to push forward, they had no choice to let go. Kron burst through the doors and leapt down the staircase, landing into the courtyard.

Blood was dripping from his wounds, and when he went to stand up, he had already stumbled to the side a few times.

'My Qi is running out, and my body is breaking. I was never able to break through to the fourth stage. If I had done so, then maybe the situation I am in now would have been better. I knew there was a chance a day like this might come, and yet, I put the thought in the back of my mind, giving up on the Pagna lifestyle, but it's true what they say, you can never leave Pagna.'

Turning around, Kron had braced himself, he could see the clan members running down the stairs confidently. However he could see that not far behind them, running through the doors, were two kids from the temple.

'That's Simyon and Safa, the two of them are alive? How did they make it? There's no Clan members behind them… is it possible, did they manage to beat them somehow?'

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Kron's face. He had somewhat given up and yet here the children were defying the impossible, he was a little ashamed of himself.

Setting himself up in a fighting stance again, Kron was ready.

'I will take down as many as I can, so the children can survive.'

The clan member at the front had leapt up in the air, the sword ready to strike, until a slash of wind had hit the person, sending them back to where they came from. The clan members immediately stopped, and as they did, Simyon jumped in the air from behind and swung both of his hands, hitting another one on the back of the head.

A heavy blow, as if one was struck with a blunt weapon made of metal. Simyon didn't quite know what had happened, but he knew his hits, and his body itself, were reinforced with great strength.

The clan member turned to his side, and could see Safa, he went to strike but Simyon dived in the way wholeheartedly, stopping the hit with his chest. Safa then came in shifting from the side and punched several times, with Simyon delivering a blow.

With the two of them, they made quite the good team. Safa was skilled, one of the best at the temple, but she hadn't completely formed her Dantian core, so her hits were weak, even if partially filled with Qi.

Kron was unsure of what was happening, but he needed to act as well. He avoided a strike from the sword, moving his head, and delivered a heavy punch in the face of his own. While behind him several more wind strikes came and hit the other clan members.

They were hit directly, to them it felt like an invisible force had struck them and it was a powerful one as well. By his side, Kron could see an orange haired girl swinging her arms. He could only assume it was her doing.

Eventually, only one clan member remained.

"Crap… crap… everyone was taken out, I have to go back to the base!" The clan member had given up and started to run toward the entrance. As he went toward the open doors, he saw someone walking through. A white haired boy.

'That's one of the temple kids!'

"Get out of my way!" the Clan member shouted, drawing his sword.

Raze lifted his head, looking straight forward, and stopped in his tracks.

"You were the ones that brought this on yourselves, you were the ones that decided to act, not me. So you deserve this."

The dark magic swirled around Raze's fist, then as the man rushed forward, Raze shifted forward.

"Dark Strike!" His fist landed right in the man's face, twisting his head inward. It was a powerful hit full of Qi, and then the pulse of dark magic. It broke his teeth, shattering them apart while ripping the skin off, sending him right back to where he was and onto the floor.

'Oh, that gave me more than I would get when killing beasts or the other humans from before. Could it be that different stage Pagna warriors also contribute more to the Darkness power as well?'

It was a theory, and only one he could test out in a certain way.

Continuing forward, Raze was looking at the scene, and he could see Simyon standing right next to his sister. His eyes sunken, but with a smile on his face, he seemed to be happy, whatever the outcome was.

"It looks like we might have jumped the gun, rushing here a little bit."

Having passed some of the children and seeing what state they were in Charlotte had used her wind magic to increase the speed of her steps, getting there before Raze, but even she was surprised with how many had been dealt with.

"This… is going to be a real pain to clean up." Charlotte scratched the back of her head, and took off her hat for a second. She was sweating underneath, it had been a long time since she had to work so hard in a case like this.

When she went to put her hat back on, her eyes laid on something that made her heart sink deep into her stomach. Her eyes opened wide as she held out her hand.

"GET AWAY!" Charlotte screamed at the top of her lungs toward Simyon and Safa.

Behind the two of them, several sparks were going off, and a portal had opened up behind them. It was one of the worst things that could occur in the world of Pagna, it was a portal break.
