Dark Magus Returns
chapter-805

When Raze heard the voice, he felt a stronger sense of familiarity compared to before. He instantly knew it was the voice of the bloody woman, the one he had seen ever since he

learned to use the Life and Death cultivation technique.

It was clear now that something was lingering around him. Safa could see its presence when using her special god eyes, and Raze had felt it too; it even acted on his behalf at times. Sometimes, it had been his saviour without him even knowing it.

Yet, its true goal, or its reason for sticking around with him, was still unknown to him.

When using the Chalice, it was meant to summon a Divine being. The chalice was always meant to summon someone from above temporarily. It was why it was so much of a gamble for Raze to use such an item. Because it could have been anyone that came from that realm. but instead, Raze realized that the bloody woman had been summoned and was using his body.

He had thought about it-since using the Chalice, he could feel the presence of the bloody woman more than before, but she hadn't said anything or tried to appear. Raze was still in control of his body.

One thing was clear: whatever was attached to him was most likely a Divine being, which was why the Chalice worked. The world of the Divine was interesting to him, but it wasn't something he cared about or felt it was his business to deal with.

Raze looked ahead at his opponent, Samantha, one of the main Clan Heads of the Dark Faction.

'You helped me fight Murkel when it was my only option,' Raze thought, lifting his hand to his face. 'But do you really think so little of me? Do you think I'm too weak to go against someone like this?'

Samantha fanned out her fan, placing it in front of her face, then dashed forward and began to swing it widely. Currents in the air appeared, but they weren't just regular currents.

In response, Raze swung his sword, clashing against the currents, which were as strong as strikes from a real sword.

'This is interesting Qi; it's almost like Wind magic is being used,' Raze thought.

However, it was clear that Samantha was shocked by the outcome. She had somewhat believed that everything so far was a strange trick. After all, she had seen the warrior in front of her and his strength.

It was impossible for someone to achieve in months what would take years. So she fully used the strength of her Qi in her strikes, but Raze was blocking them with ease.

"Let's see you handle this!" Samantha closed her fan and hurled it, spinning through the air. Her Qi created a beautiful pink display in a circle.

An odd sound came from the fan, screeching and hurting those nearby. Raze, seeing this, raised his sword and struck it with his Demonic Qi.

This time, Raze was being pushed back. He tried to go against the fan, but even with his enhanced Qi and its concentration, he was being pushed back.

"His condensed Qi can only take him so far," Bargo, the Vice Leader of the Moon Shield Clan, said.

"What are you saying? He's going to lose this?" Simyon asked. "Raze defeated much tougher opponents than this. Just because he can't block a hit or loses in a battle of Qi doesn't mean he's going to lose."

Bargo started to laugh.

"You have to remember, we're both on the same side here. I'm not against Raze, and trust me, I've seen what he can do. Like you said, fighting against the Clan Head isn't no trouble, but he certainly wouldn't be struggling this much."

"I think he's just testing how far he can go with his condensed Qi. You have to remember, he has yet to show a single technique."

But it wasn't just a single technique. Raze had reluctantly used his magic in the fight as well. What Bargo declared was right.

Then, Raze used the strength in his arm to deflect the hit to the side while quickly moving out of place. The fan retracted and returned to Samantha's hand.

"It seems you are nothing special. This is just the start; if you can't deal with this, you're not fit to be a leader. How can a no-name with no clan skills or techniques possibly be the head of the Dark Faction?" Samantha declared.

The others on stage were annoyed by this. Samantha had seen nothing he had done, none of his accomplishments or progress. If anyone had witnessed what Raze had done so far, they wouldn't have dared to say such things.

"With no skills, right? I guess I am always borrowing skills from this world and just repeating them, not making use of my own," Raze replied. "I do want to change that myself."

"But you know, there are techniques that the old Dark Faction leader created. I've managed to use a few of them in fights so far."

Dame, Rayna, and Amir knew what techniques he meant the Noctis Clan techniques, which had been incredibly powerful. During the Martial Arts Tournament, a single move had changed the outcome of the fight.

"Yet recently, I realized something while using them-that I had been using the techniques wrong this entire time," Raze declared as he held up his sword.

Samantha, tired of listening, swung her fan several times, creating more air currents. Raze blocked each of them again, swinging his sword to deflect the hits.

"Are the two moves you did before the only things you can do? If that's the strongest you have, then this match is over. I'm going to prove to you and that woman that I will never need her help again, and even if she were to face me, I would bring her down myself."

"Let me show you the correct way to use the Dark Edge Sword Arts!" Raze said.
