848 Dark Magus Vs Deleter

Using his Wind magic, Raze had rushed over as quickly as he could. From above, he could see everything that was happening, and just in time, he was able to further use his Wind magic to hold the rocket-propelled grenade in place.

He floated down, wearing his special blazer, hand held out, and landed on the ground.

The students noticed the white hair immediately, and it was the first time they had seen him out in person.

"That's the leader of the Dark Faction; he really came out!" the student claimed.

"It's true as well. He looks to be around the same age as us. How did someone so young become the leader?"

"And why… didn't he come out sooner?" another said, gripping their fist in anger as tears rolled down their face. "If he was out here, if he had come out straight away, he could have protected more people."

Although some of the students were complaining, some were still worried. After seeing the strange power that the intruder had, they couldn't imagine anyone matching up to him. Even Amir, who was a powerful Hybrid, seemed to have lost against this man.

Now Raze, even if he was the Dark Faction leader, they had never seen his immense skills in person.

"But how is he holding that weapon in place?" Johanna thought, knowing this wasn't something that Qi could do.

Lifting both of his hands, the grenade started to move and was shifted back, heading in the direction of where Scar was. It landed right by his feet and exploded. The students felt some of the wind blow in their faces along with some heat.

Dust covered their eyes, but they didn't expect to see a successful result. Because once again, the man had moved out of sight. When the dust cleared, there was no body on the ground, and instead, Scar appeared slightly to the side.

"So the main target finally makes their way here, and look how many have died in the process," Scar commented. "But don't worry, I wouldn't feel so bad about it, because the whole city, every person that lives on this piece of land will end up disappearing."

Scar paused speaking there, as if he was waiting for some type of reaction from Raze, but there had yet to be one. Instead, it was Amir who had jumped by his side.

"You have to be careful with this one, it seems he has the power to teleport. I don't know if it's a power from his world or an artifact of some kind," Amir commented.

Raze had been thinking about it. The way Scar talked about Himmy, it was as if the two knew each other, and the weapons being used were quite similar as well. Raze couldn't sense any magic being used, and he knew of no such spell that could instantly transport a person constantly like Scar was doing now.

Leading him to believe what he was using was an artifact.

"What are you even doing here, Raze?" Amir asked. "I thought you would have been in the Demonic Faction already."

"I would have, but this person appeared in front of me with Himmy's head," Raze answered.

Raze had quickly exited the room looking for the intruder but couldn't find him anywhere. He searched the academy and then exited from above. It was only a short time, maybe fifteen minutes at most.

Yet this amount of carnage had been caused in that short amount of time. Raze was starting to understand the dangers of the Deleter.

"Stay next to the students," Raze ordered. "Protect them as much as you can; otherwise, I can't focus on this fight as much."

Appearing in one of Raze's hands was a sword, while in the other, swirling around it, dark magic was starting to appear.

Raze then swung his sword, and a crimson red slash went out from it, aiming right toward Scar. His body disappeared, and the moment he landed on the floor and Raze was able to spot him, he fired out a dark pulse in his direction.

However, Scar had moved again, and this time, the moment he appeared, he shot with his handguns, firing several bullets. They were aimed perfectly, but rather than dodging them or using his magic, Raze fired another dark pulse right at Scar.

The beam of energy looked close to hitting Scar, but just moments before, he disappeared on the spot and reappeared again.

Scar looked at his bullets, and when they got within a certain range of Raze, a barrier appeared, stopping the bullets and causing them to fall to the floor. The special trait of his blazer had stopped the bullets.

Raze was counting on his blazer being strong enough to stop the bullets and, in turn, land an attack, but it seemed like it just didn't quite work out.

"Mages are really annoying to fight," Scar complained.

"Right," Raze said. "You should know, being a member of Alter yourself. The weapons you are using now, at one point in time, also existed in Alterian."

"The world focused on creating these weapons, that was until five-star mages and above came into existence. Those weapons practically became useless. Bombs could be stopped with magic formations and crystals creating powerful barriers."

"Spells could be made to redirect the weapons back at the person. Because of this, the countries of our world focused on creating better mages rather than better weapons of mass destruction, but you come from a world where magic doesn't exist!"

What Raze said was true, although he didn't know much about these weapons due to it being beyond his time. Since his world had become a true world filled mostly with magic, the gun Himmy had first shown him was foreign to him.

"You think that's meant to scare me into not fighting you?" Scar said. "Trust me, I have defeated plenty of mages in the past. You have no idea, no idea what it took for me to become a Deleter, or what that prestige even means!"
