Dark Magus Returns
chapter-846

The students were so close to exiting the academy, they had run using all of their strength, believing that past the walls was safety. That was when they saw the intruder appearing like a guard blocking their way.

Immediately, the students stopped. None of them had thoughts of trying to best this person, to try and take him on after seeing so many fail, seeing so many dead. Some were unable to move, while others had turned away.

New items appeared in the intruder's hands; they were bigger than what he had been using so far, and the wicked smile remained present on his face.

Scar had lifted his hands and pulled the trigger, holding on. Rather than the constant single bangs the students had heard, they instead heard a continuous noise in the air, followed by the screams of their fellow students.

No longer was Scar just using a basic handgun; he was using weapons far more devastating. Weapons made from his world, created with one purpose in mind: to kill.

The students that fled and turned their backs felt sharp pain enter their bodies, causing them to fall to the ground. When they looked down, they could see blood coming from their wounds.

Others tried their best to avoid what they could. They had done so somewhat successfully so far, but the path of the bullets was too fast for them, hitting their legs first, slowing their movement, and then hitting the rest of their bodies.

One of the females, who was frozen stiff and had fallen to her knees, had both of her hands covering her ears.

"Please stop... stop... what is going on? Why is this happening to us? We don't even have a chance to fight back!"

It was then that the constant sound stopped. When she looked ahead, she could see that the flashes coming from the intruder's weapons had stopped as well, and then a small object dropped onto the ground, rectangular in shape.

Seeing this, the female student had a number of thoughts going through her head.

"Those devices shoot small metal objects out at a fast rate, but the metal objects have to come from somewhere. Is he having to replenish his supply?"

At that moment, more students that had survived the initial attack had run out from their respective color headband buildings. They ventured onto the main courtyard, hoping to exit, when they saw that there was a person blocking their path.

"That's the guy, right? But he's stopped right now. Is he tired or something?"

"That must be it. To throw those projectiles so fast, he must be using an immense amount of Qi. Maybe this is our chance."

Some were wary about it, but there were a couple of others who thought that this might be their only chance, so they decided to run ahead as fast as they could.

"We need to get rid of him, for everyone that died today!" the students claimed.

The female student who was on the ground could hear a clicking noise enter the intruder's weapons. Although she didn't know exactly how these weapons worked, she had a bad feeling. "No! Get away, everyone get away!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Scar pointed his guns right at the group of students coming toward him, but rather than shooting right at them, he aimed for the girl instead.

"We have a smart one among them. So you can go first." Scar pulled the trigger, and a stream of bullets came down.

At the same time, though, the female student saw someone come right in front of her, crashing into the ground. A large rumbling had occurred, and a piece of the floor had broken up, lifting off from the ground.

The bullets being used had hit the wall, as the flooring was being used as a type of shield. The students from behind, seeing this, gathered behind the large wall.

"Stay behind this, keep cover, while I deal with him."

"Yes, Vice-Principal Amir!" the students said with hope in their eyes. One of the strongest in the academy had arrived to help them. Although the other teachers had failed before, Vice- Principal Amir was different.

His strength was on par with the top five Dark Faction Clan leaders.

Amir quickly ran around the wall he had created from the ground and started to dash in the position where Scar was last seen. He could see the intruder up ahead, his weapons pointed toward him again.

Scar pulled the trigger, and a rain of bullets came out, all aiming toward Amir. Seeing how fast they were, Amir once again kicked the ground, breaking it and lifting it up vertically. Right after that, he proceeded with a punch, breaking the wall and flinging pieces of rock right toward Scar.

They were flung across and continued until they crashed into the wall.

"Where did he go?"

"I thought the difficulty would rise a bit eventually."

The voice was from behind, and Amir quickly turned to see Scar at least twenty meters away, in a completely different direction than before.

"Is he the Deleter that was sent by Alter?" Amir thought. "I didn't see him move, his body just disappeared. It's most likely a powerful item given to him by Alter. With these weapons from other worlds, it's a dangerous combination."

Amir was looking at the ground at the number of students who had already perished. It wasn't just students, either; there were teachers.

When the students covered in blood reached him, Amir immediately went to assess the mess, but this wasn't what he was expecting at all.

"Everything has been a bit too easy so far." Scar moved his hands, and the Uzi weapons disappeared. In their place, his handguns reappeared. "I'm just a better shot with these; I prefer them."

Scar said as he pointed them at Amir and started to shoot directly at him. This time, rather than breaking the flooring, Amir stretched out his arm. It started to change black, growing larger in size, and covered his entire face.

As the bullets hit his hard skin, they fell onto the floor.

"If you really are a Deleter, then now is not the time to worry about hiding my powers," Amir said as he used his Hybrid form from the start.

"With Raze and the others having already left, I'm the only one who can protect this

academy!"
