Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 64 Power From Another World

Chapter 64 Power From Another World

The sensation that Charlotte could feel on her hands was lingering for a moment. The power of combining two spells was something that she had never successfully experienced before. Of course, in her studies, she had tried mixing one or two attributes, but due to the different strengths in the core, it was an extremely difficult thing to do.

On top of that, combining spells at times could be very dangerous for the user. Someone always had to be the guinea pig in a particular situation, but since there were only other mages available, no one wanted to do it.

This fact had left the lack of combination spells among mages, and those that were successful in finding out a few here and there were extremely petty. Having gone through the risks, they were unwilling to share their knowledge; after all, knowledge was also power among mages.

Although not all were like this, some mages did share what they had learned through the academy, but all of this was why Charlotte was shocked. How did Raze know that the combination of spells would work?

How did he even know about fire spells as well as 2-star wind spells? As a 2-star mage and at his age, he would still be focusing on his main attribute and learning the spell formations for those, yet he had directed her like an expert.

"Yon!" Raze shouted out. "Get these cuffs off me if you want us all to live!"

What Raze had done was unprecedented in the world of Pagna; he had shouted at an Elder and one of even higher ranking than him, but now was not the situation to worry about that. From underneath his robe, he had pulled out the key.

After seeing the strange sorcery that Charlotte had produced, the rest, even the elders, were a bit reluctant to move forward.

"Damn you, how dare you do this to the clan!" Elder Targress shouted as he was finally getting up from the floor. He lifted his arm, pointing to Raze with it shaking. "You are a no name. You have no value in this world. You don't do anything to help it progress forward."

"Instead, you are just a leech that uses up the resources of us that need to grow. So how could you even think to do something like this?"

The key had been inserted, and with a twist, the heavy locks fell off to the ground. Raze was rubbing his inner wrists due to the cuffs being too tight and started to walk forward, ahead of the others.

Even Charlotte, with her skills and the help they were getting, wasn't so confident, yet Raze was showing no fear as he took steps in front of them all.

"You're right, I am nothing, so you have no reason to be afraid of me," Raze said, lifting his hand up and pointing it toward the elders. "So then tell me, why are you all so scared? Dark Pulse!" Raze shouted.

Immediately, the elders moved and flinched, jumping from their position, but nothing had come out of Raze's hands, nothing had hit the ground, and seeing their act, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha!" Raze laughed. "And you guys are meant to be these all-respectful elders, yet you were going to kill me. Well, take this respect and shove it up your arse!"

"Dark pulse," Raze said silently under his breath. The words were spoken just to link with the formation and image in one's head, allowing them to produce the skills they needed to use immediately.

This time a beam did shoot out, but the elders were still able to avoid it and came right at them. Going head to head, though, Yon jumped forward, and his fist clashed with one of the elder's legs, sending a shockwave out in the room.

Sonny was fighting with two of the clan members who were using their swords. They were hasty in their attacks, so he could avoid them, moving back here and there, but he was finding it hard to strike.

However, Charlotte saw an opening and twisted her hand. "Wind slice!" A line of magic came out, hitting the member right in the stomach, cutting through his robes and touching his skin, lifting him up in the air and sending him crashing into the wall.

"We have to get out of here, and quickly!" Yon shouted. "The ex-leader that they are after, it's Kron. It means they will have sent others to the temple. He's not as strong as he used to be."

Hearing these words, an image of the floor soaked in blood came into Raze's mind. Of him returning, and on the floor, everyone soaked in blood, their limbs having been torn apart, and a voice sounded in his head.

"You forced me to do this, Raze. I didn't want to play my hand, but you had to get involved."

At the back of the room, a man in a robe, covered with his eyes shining off the moonlight.

Shaking his head, he could see Targress coming right at him. Raze lifted one of his hands out while shifting his feet back slightly.

"Dark Pulse!"

The attack left the palm of his hand and struck the floor. Targress had leapt to the side, avoiding the attack and came right at Raze, but he was unfazed by this, and instead, the Dark Mage had a smile on his face.

His feet moved forward, powered by the Qi in his body, the two-step shift, and then swinging out his hand, it went to meet Targress dead on. Dark magic was swirling around his knuckles.

"Dark strike!"

The fist collided, hitting knuckle on knuckle with Targress. The elder was able to block the attack on time, but only by moving his own fist that was still in motion. When the fist hit, a pulse of Dark magic came out, amplifying his strike, which sent Targress skidding across the floor once more.

"Did he just... use his Pagna skills and combine them with magic? The level of magic, it was clearly at the 2-star stage, yet amplifying it with a hit... I don't think I know any mages that have been able to do such a thing since coming to Pagna," Charlotte thought.

There was a reason for that as well, that Charlotte was unaware of, but Raze was not. He had a special body that was different compared to everyone else because his body was one from Pagna.

However, despite the boosted strength in the attack, Elder Targress was a stage 3 Pagna warrior, and he wouldn't go down so easily.

"You two," Himmy had spoken for the first time and started to walk forward, his heavy feet plodding across the floor. "Charlotte, Raze, get to the temple and rescue those kids. I would hate to have blood on our hands of those unrelated to all of this."

Looking back, Sonny was wondering if the large man was like Raze and the girl; maybe he knew some sorcery as well.

"Wait, but if them two go, will we be able to handle this on our own?" Sonny asked; the numbers weren't on their side at all.

Out of anger, Targress had gotten up again and started running forward.

Himmy went and opened up his large brown overcoat, reaching inside and following it, a loud bang was heard. It was just one noise that filled the entire room and stopped everyone in their steps.

Now Targress was no longer moving, as he had a small hole in his head. His body swayed to the side, collapsing on the ground.

In Himmy's hand, he held a small object that many had never seen before. A small amount of smoke came out from the tip due to the heat that had been produced. What Himmy had was something that was not from this world.

Reaching into the other side of his overcoat, he pulled out the same object and was now holding them both out, pointing them toward the clan members. "I'll be fine," Himmy answered, holding two guns in his hands.
