Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 701 A Red Call

Chapter 701  A Red Call

Anna had been struck extremely hard by the fan that Lulu had used. She knew there were strong people among Pagna warriors, and being strong herself, she was used to relying on her body. However, it was the first time she had been dealt a hit like that. The Qi had completely gone through her, affecting not only her body but also the nano machines inside her.

'It's a good thing that I'm still alive,' Anna thought. 'As long as I'm alive, the nano machines will continue to be pumped through my body. They will need to repair themselves first, and after that, I'll be back up again.'

Lifting her head up, her chin propped on the hard ground, she looked ahead. Even though she would eventually be fine, there was a certain person who wouldn't be. She could see Lulu, who had delivered the devastating blow to her, was now upon Liam. If she had barely survived an attack from Lulu, she was sure Liam would not be able to survive at all.

'That kid,' Anna thought, coughing up blood. 'After I said all that about his body being special and him having these machines in his body, I thought he was going to do something.'

Anna could see her blood moving slightly as if it were alive. It was a sign her body was trying to do something.

'I guess the opponent this time was too high of a level for him to do something. If I couldn't do something, why would I rely on such a child? I guess I just thought if Zon was the one to give him the system, there would be a reason… Why did you do such a thing, Zon? I don't understand.'

Her body wouldn't heal fast enough to save the student, and now her only link to Zon would disappear. She could see Lulu holding her fan in her hand and gathering a large amount of energy, while Liam was on the floor with his arm broken to the side.

As she continued to look ahead, she noticed something appearing above Liam's head.

'What is that?'

A red circle was being drawn in the sky just above. Both Lin and Lulu were too distracted by the student in front of them, and neither of them could sense any Qi to be aware. When the red circle was finished being drawn, a mystic blend of warping colors appeared in the center, and right after, a person dropped from above.

Covered in a strange black suit of armor with red energy beaming through different parts of his body and a sword in his hand, the man had practically dropped out of the sky. Effortlessly, as he landed, he swung his sword.

The sword was swung, and the man landed on the floor, the sword now covered in blood. On the ground, there was an arm with a fan beside it.

"ARGHH!" Lulu screamed as she saw her arm was severed off. It was a clean cut. She didn't understand. She had a large amount of Qi flowing through her body. Even a sword covered in sharp condensed Qi would have trouble cutting through her like that. Immediately, she and Lin jumped back, looking at the man.

"Who are you?" Lulu shouted.

Liam looked up at the person who had come through. He had seen him before, and in response, the man looked down at the student.

"You seem to get yourself in a lot of trouble; it truly follows you everywhere," the man said. "I thought after I gave you the system, it would be a while until I was called again, yet here I am."

Zon then started to look around, assessing the situation, the fights taking place, and the white-haired mage in a meditative state.

"I guess it was a good thing I came this time," Zon said to himself, and finally, his eyes met with Anna, who was far off in the distance.

The two of them locked eyes for a moment, and the man blinked hard a few times. He then rubbed his eyes to make sure he was actually seeing what was in front of him. When he continued to look at the woman, he could see both of her eyes watering up.

Anna was welling up. She was choking and wanted to run over, but her body wouldn't let her. She knew exactly who this man was.

'Zon… where have you been?' she said to herself.

"Who are you?" Lulu shouted again, demanding an answer.

Seeing the situation and with her arm torn off, the two sisters thought there was only one thing they could do to turn the situation around.

"Lulu, you're injured. Give me your power, give me all of it. I have a feeling this man is dangerous," Lin ordered.

Lulu agreed, and as they touched hands, the energy between them started to transfer. This time, though, rather than leaving just enough energy for one of them, Lulu completely collapsed to the ground, giving all her power to Lin.

The power was intense. When activating her Qi, the air rippled around her, and part of the arena floor was destroyed.

"It doesn't matter who you are, but you will regret taking us on. It doesn't matter who gets in our way; we will take you out just like we have everyone else," Lin shouted.

The man raised his sword, and the center of it started to glow red as well.

Lin charged forward, running with Qi dragging through the air, distorting the entire area. The man waited patiently, and then when she was close, his whole body lit up red. Everything was activated in his body.

Liam then saw it for a second time. Just like that, in a flash, the man disappeared and reappeared on the other side, and Lin's body continued forward and fell to the floor with her head detached and rolling across the ground.

"You could never defeat him," Anna said to herself. "Because he is Zon, leader of the Red Fortis Army."
