Dark Magus Returns

For once, Raze thought that maybe when using the life and death cultivation technique that things wouldn’t go so strange, but it appeared that was not the case. There was a giant hole in the ground leading to the bottom floor.

The attack was relatively strong, even the bottom floor had been destroyed, and a commotion was already starting. The only thing this time was the fact that Raze hadn’t killed anyone by accident.

“What do you mean he wasn’t trying to kill you!” Tanya shouted, holding up her rifle and pointing it directly at Raze’s head.

“There are only you two in here, and he’s the one with the sword in his hand. There’s no way you’re telling me that you did that.”

Ponyo, the Pagna warrior in the Alter group, was on his knees, looking at the large hole from below. He was quite amazed by the strength of the attack and destructiveness. While looking down, there were quite a few people who were looking up.

They could see the Inn owner getting angry and pointing above them as well.

“Guys,” Ponyo said, but his words fell on deaf ears.

“No, it’s true,” Shing said back. “It’s hard to explain, but I think he just saved my life right now.”

“The key words you used right there is think?” Barlan replied. “Who knows, this young one might know illusion magic as well.”

“Guys!” Ponyo said once more, but no one seemed to listen.

That was when Marcus got involved. He felt like he was having a headache as he pressed his fingers up against his nose and eyebrow.

“Look, why don’t we all just-“

In the middle of his sentence, Marcus moved back fairly quickly. He had fast reflexes and pulled out his gun from underneath his shirt. In that instance, he pulled the trigger, and it went right through the head of the person that had attacked him.

Immediately, the man fell to the floor. The loud bang noise made everyone else now look at what just happened. They could see in the room they were in, a man in Pagna clothes with a gun in his hand, bleeding from his head.

“Did I just… kill a Pagna warrior?” Marcus said.

“I believe you did,” Barlan replied. “And there seems to be more on the way.”

“That’s what I’ve been saying this whole time!” Ponyo shouted.

Pagna warriors that were staying in the establishment were wondering who had made such a mess. They had gathered by the door, and one had jumped through the hole, swinging his sword at Marcus. In the end, the result was what it was.

“Why are they attacking us? We weren’t the ones that caused this mess,” Marcus shook his head.

“He killed him, he killed him with that strange device, get him!” One of the warriors shouted, pulling out their sword, and the rest of the Pagna warriors followed.

“Killing the man that attacked was our fault, and you know how warriors are,” Barlan explained. “Any excuse to flex their skills, and a chance not just to use their powers, but in the Demonic Faction, maybe even steal some coin.”

As the attackers rushed in, Ponyo was the first to enter and struck, trying to slash at them all. His sword was blocked by one, but soon another sword came swinging down; before it hit, another bullet, this time from Tanya, had hit the sword, knocking it out of the person’s hand.

‘That weapon is quite the strong one,’ Raze thought as he continued to watch what was going on.

For once, it felt like the situation was getting out of hand, and it wasn’t particularly his fault, at least partly.

“This situation is going to be a complicated one,” Marcus said as he continued to rub the top of his nose again. “They have seen us use things that we shouldn’t have, and unless we want a Deleter to get rid of us, we need to get rid of all witnesses.”

Marcus immediately lifted up his gun at that point and pointed it at the rest of the warriors; he fired one shot after the other, and with great accuracy, he hit them in the head one by one.

As soon as they were hit, they fell to the ground instantly dead. The warriors that were coming forward had stopped and frozen in place. They had no clue what weapon it was that they held and were worried that they would be next.

When Marcus went to fire again though, one of the warriors was able to stop the attack with his sword. He held it strong, reinforcing it with his Qi.

“Oh, that’s quite a skillful one,” Marcus commented.

However, right after stopping the hit, a large ball of water appeared over the man’s head. It stayed on tight, and when the warrior tried to breathe in, he was unable to, other than just water.

‘This is Barlan’s doing,’ Raze thought. ‘As suspected, he specializes in Water Magic, which is quite annoying to deal with, although it is interesting to see how they deal with this situation.’ Follow current novels on Nov(l)Fre .t

Raze continued to watch the group, and surprisingly, the one that was most effective was Marcus. He was the group leader for a reason, but it was mainly due to the weapon in his hand.

Eventually, all of the Pagna warriors had been dealt with in the room, a floor of several dead were in the place.

“This is not what I expected on the last day of all things,” Marcus commented. “Are you some type of bad luck charm or something?”

Marcus was, of course, referring to Raze.

Right after the group dropped down, going to the first floor through the hole, and Raze followed. They could see some people cowering under the tables, while even the Innkeeper was hiding behind the bar as well.

The ones that had attacked them were Pagna warriors that dedicated their life to martial arts and to fighting. They had a sense of risk just being warriors, but the rest that were in here, they were non-warriors.

The regular citizens that just lived in the world of Pagna.

One of the frightened had gotten up off the ground and immediately ran toward the door, as they had done so, another loud bang had occurred. Before the person reached the door, they had fallen to the floor.

The people screamed in the room at the loud noise and the death of one of their own. Now no one was foolish enough to try and go toward the door, but that was the goal all along.

The one that had taken the shot was none other than Tanya.

“I hate that this had to happen,” Marcus claimed. “But we can’t get word that those from Alter were in the Demonic Faction, it will cause large problems for us all.”

Right then, Tanya lifted up her weapon, Ponyo grabbed his sword firmly, Shing bashed his hands together as he had recovered, ready to use his powers, and then Barlan had both of his hands lifted up ready to cast whatever spell that he was about to do.

“What are you doing?” Raze asked from behind. “These people, why are you killing them when they aren’t even trying to fight back at us?”

“What? Do you have a problem with people dying, and killing?” Marcus asked.

“I don’t have a problem with killing,” Raze answered. “Especially if it’s those that deserve it.”
