Dark Magus Returns
chapter-887

Lightning was emitting from outside of Raze's boots and running up his legs, reaching around his waist.

In some ways, it looked like how Dark magic would appear when Raze gathered his power outside of his arms and channeled it to his sword.

As he knelt on the ground, the lightning struck higher, reaching the top of his head.

"I've seen him use lightning powers before but not like that. It almost looks the same as my lightning body," Simyon commented.

It was the same for the others, but it was to be expected for Raze to show them something new they hadn't seen before.

When Raze stood up, he stretched out one hand to the side, and a thin, sharp, slightly curved sword appeared.

It was a simple sword; there was nothing fancy about the weapon. On closer inspection, the sharp-edged blade looked almost like a pure line of glowing blue color.

Raze then brought the sword in front of him and placed both hands on the hilt.

'With my magic power being weakened, I have had to do a lot to learn how to fight in this world.'

'The Dark Edge Sword Arts were a saving grace for me, but it still didn't feel natural-it wasn't a creation that I made on my own.'

'I pushed away from completely learning Pagna arts because of my stubbornness to magic rather than accepting it. This is the result of my acceptance and dedicating myself to the arts.'

The lightning around Raze's feet zapped from the ground. It hit the floor, and Raze was seen almost disappearing from where he was. He soon reappeared in a different direction, and it looked and sounded as if lightning had struck the ground in that particular area.

After reappearing, Raze's body disappeared again until he was right next to Sha Mo. The sword was struck across Sha Mo's body.

Even though Sha Mo was giant in size, he managed to move, leaving a deep cut on his shoulder and drawing blood.

When Sha Mo turned, though, he was unable to see where Raze was. Once again, he could see what appeared to be a large lightning strike.

The floor beneath where the strike could be seen was destroyed and broken, but Raze had only flashed in front of Sha Mo's side for a moment.

Once again, Raze appeared, and this time, the sword struck, hitting right across Sha Mo's neck.

Right after, Raze reappeared but was a great distance away from Sha Mo, holding the sword by his side.

Sha Mo went to hold his neck, and when looking at the palm of his hand, he could see that blood had been drawn.

A look of disgust appeared on his face.

"Is that the Revel Clan's footwork?" a voice said.

Rayna and the others turned their heads to see a mysterious man standing by their side. He was wearing the clothing of the Flendon guards but had a mask covering his face.

'I didn't even notice him next to us?' Rayna thought. 'This man is clearly extremely dangerous... The fact that he hasn't attacked us means he's not after us.'

"Who are you?" Liam shouted, but Safa pulled on his shirt before more words could come from his mouth.

Everyone else realized the situation, not wanting to anger the powerful stranger who had appeared.

"The techniques he uses, I believe it's an assassination art from a clan in the Dark Faction." "The footwork is designed to give one double the speed in a single movement, and holding both hands onto a weapon kills them in a single blow."

"However, the strange lightning powers he's using are allowing him to achieve incredible speed, adding randomness to the pattern, making it hard to see where he's going."

The stranger in question was Lince, leader of the Lost Clan, and as a gatherer of information, he knew a lot about what was happening.

Although Lince didn't say more, there was something else he was impressed by. With the added power of Raze's special power and weapon, how sturdy Sha Mo's body was, only getting a few scratches here and there.

"So this is what you were hiding?" Sha Mo said. On his body, although the wounds were still visible, blood was no longer being drawn from them.

The Qi inside his body, which helped with cell regeneration, was working fast, keeping him from losing more blood.

"After getting hit so hard, did you damage your head? If the best you can do is make scratches

on my body, then this isn't even a fight worth having!" Sha Mo claimed.

This was also the thought of Lince, who was watching from above.

Raze carefully took in a deep breath, letting the blazer continue to heal his body.

Exhaling, he allowed the lightning to explode from his feet once more.

From the numerous things that Raze had managed to obtain when becoming the Dark Faction leader, a large number of the gifts were techniques.

Techniques from numerous clans. Just like the approach he used to take in learning his magic, he applied the same to the techniques he was using.

He went through each technique carefully, observing the faults and pros with each one. Of course, there was no perfect technique, but what he was looking for were techniques that would work well with his magical abilities.

'The main issue found with the Revel footwork was the large amount of Qi it took to deliver a strike.'

'The movement was meant to flow Qi from the feet into the sword to perform a one-move kill technique.'

'If it failed, many assassins would end up losing their own lives. This was the norm for most assassin techniques.'

'But I never planned to lose my life-not yet, not with this second chance I've been given.'

"You're the first one," Raze said. "The first one I used this technique on, so I needed to try it out first."

"I needed to try it before I used it properly."
