Dark Magus Returns
-
chapter-862
The Pillars were given their name because that was exactly what they were to the Behemoth Clan. They were the members that allowed the whole clan to be declared one of the three major clans in the Demonic Faction for a reason.
The sheer size as the biggest clan, maybe having more members than the other two major clans combined, was just an added threat to the clan's power. The real threat of the clan and the reason why it was able to be considered a major clan was because of the Pillars and Sha Mo himself.
Two had been taken out in the last attack against Flendon. Knowing failure wasn't an option this time, not only did Sha Mo not send two more of his Pillars, but he had also come himself. The main targets: the Crimson Crane and the Dark Magus.
In reality, Sha Mo even expected that he would have to face some of the Dark Faction if Raze had managed to get them truly under his thumb. He was ready for an all-out war. It was just him, and neither he nor the Behemoth Clan members themselves were ready for several strong unknown warriors that could reach the same feats as them.
It was because three of the top students in all of Pagna had worked together that they were able to take out Kilper.Mada looked at Kilper's body without its head lying there on the ground, still in disbelief at what they had managed to achieve. They had been through a lot. He then looked down at his dark blue shoes that were pointed with a hard tip on the end.
'It was thanks to these that I was able to be somewhat useful in this fight. Who would have thought that such an artifact would have been at the Flowing Force Clan's base?'
Mada started to think back to when the Bonum Society had given the order to attack and take over the clans. Mada had gone to his own clan. With no leader or even someone to replace him, they were at a loss of what to do.
Going against his clan, forcing them to agree to making the Dark Magus leader through the power of his own strength. It would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous about it. Although his clan might have lost prominent people, unlike Mada, he hadn't reached the middle stage, and there were still middle stage warriors in the clan itself.
In the end, it was his brother Gunther who had helped him out in the situation. With his brother's blessing, the clan had agreed to Mada's demands, and in the end, he had even been handed down the clan's artifact.
Mada wasn't expecting much. If the items were so strong and great, then why wouldn't the past leaders have used them? Unless it was just because they wished to save face and not rely on items. He could certainly see many of the elders in his clan being that way.
That was when he had come across a pair of peculiar boots, the boots that he was wearing now, and the power they held was certainly interesting.Using its power was quite difficult, though, and he had been practicing its use for the next time he had to fight. The boots themselves, just like the glove Ricktor used, activated with Qi. However, rather than creating an element, in Mada's item's case, it changed what it touched.
The ground beneath his feet would change to water. When Kilper had attacked, Mada had activated the boots, creating a large enough puddle of water for him to avoid the attack. On top of that, he continued to use the effects of the boots to create a tunnel until he was right by Kilper's feet.
Continuing to use its power, a pool of water was created on the surface, and he exploded from the water, delivering a devastating kick. An added bonus was the boots were made of a special metal that was used to craft the best of weapons, so it could take a heavy hit and wouldn't lose in a battle against a sword.
On top of that, Mada realized when using his visual Qi to create the flow of water, it would drag the water he created, giving him more power than he used to have before.
According to his brother, the boots were actually a tool for leaders to use in order to help them make their visual Qi more powerful. Thinking about it, he remembered his father's visual Qi power, how effective it was covering a large distance of the floor with his Qi.
Allowing him to use it to block attacks and attack his opponents within a certain area. Perhaps there were other uses of the weapon that he still hadn't gotten used to.
"Hey!" Mantis called out. "Can you stop daydreaming and help us out? It's kinda a rough situation here!"
Mantis clawed at the attacker in front of him, sending him in the air, and quickly returned his hands by his side as he blocked two swords from striking him with his arms. Right after, a spiked ball mace smashed into his stomach.
It wasn't the strongest of attacks, but the points did pierce his skin, and blood was drawn. The mace was thrown again, but it was sliced in half by Ricktor, and equally, the man who had thrown the mace was sliced in half after.
The three were fighting right in the center of their situation, and even though they had gotten rid of one of the Pillars, it didn't seem the fighting had stopped, and just then, Mantis's hybrid form was starting to wither away.
The skull that covered his face and arms had turned into nothing but soft dust, and the wings on his back were starting to disappear. Everyone was exhausted from their fight.
"Didn't you say you were going to take out the whole of the Behemoth Clan? What are you doing losing your powers now!" Mada said, kicking one in the face and quickly avoiding another strike to his face and kicking the man on the chin. "When will this end?"
"It will end when Sha Mo himself is taken out," Ricktor claimed. "I'm starting to wonder, where is Raze? If he hasn't arrived by now, something must have happened, which means we might be on our own with this one."
