Chapter 438 A Dark Mage
?All members of the Crimson Crane were struggling heavily. They had been fighting for a while now, exhausted and having used up large amounts of Qi, with a large number of enemies still to deal with. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
On top of all of this, there was Reno, who had been given the task to look after Raze. He had him tied up on his back for a while. He hadn't been in much of the fight but everything was mentally exhausting for him.
He had been avoiding strike after strike that were coming his way, and when the Dark Magus was hit, a panic was settling in him. It was more than just a task that had been given to him by his leader, but he felt like he had a responsibility.
And then, crazy occurrences had started, people dying left and right and himself being pushed. There was a lot that had been playing on his mind, all up till this point, where Raze's eyes were now open.
"Your eyes." Were some of the first words that had come out of Raze's mouth, as he lifted his upper body off the ground. "They're watery, it seems like you've been through a lot."
Raze could remember what had happened just before, his head and mind were clear. He had passed out. After using the Cursed Qi pill and then several Qi pills after that, his mind couldn't take it anymore to the point it had completely given out on him.
He remembered summoning the Crimson Crane, so it wasn't such a surprise that he could see Reno, but why were his eyes watery?
That was an answer that even Reno couldn't quite answer himself. Maybe it was everything the group were going through, or the responsibility he had, which was now lifted off his shoulders.
Besides, even if the Dark Magus was awake, what could he do? After all, he was just one person. A person who could do the same things as the others, and in Reno's mind, he couldn't get out the worry that Alba had.
What if the Dark Magus was just a normal person compared to all of these that were different to them, someone who was on the run. The fact was, now that Raze was awake, it wouldn't change much.
Some of the mages that were close by hadn't moved in. They were still a little worried after noticing what had happened before, but they couldn't help but laugh at the outlandish claim this mysterious white-haired man had made.
"You get rid of us all, good luck with that!" The mage held out his hand, and fired out a quick and sharp fire spell. It left and the flame came directly at Raze.
Seeing this, Raze lifted his hand, and Dark Magic started to swirl into the palm of his hand. With his hand, he caught the fireball of magic. Slowly the darkness was eating at the fireball and when Raze clenched his hand into a fist the fireball had completely disappeared just like that.
The mages seeing what had just happened, were looking at each other in disbelief, they were stunned and shocked.
They had frozen in place and their skin was turning slightly paler.
'What's going on?' Alba thought, as she took a step back from the squad leader she had been going against. 'Why are they acting that way. Sure he stopped their spell, but many of us can, and surely that's something that they can do as well.'
That's when she heard a word coming off from the squad leader in front of her.
"That's... Dark Magic, he knows Dark Magic."
To Alba, and the rest of the Crimson Crane they just saw everything in one boat, as all types of magic and had no clue why seeing someone use Dark Magic was so surprising.
Lifting his hand up, Raze then pointed it toward one of the mages.
"Dark Pulse!"
A beam of energy went out, slicing right through its head. The mage's body fell to the floor dead on the ground.
"I guess this is your first time, fighting against a Dark Mage, right?" Raze said.
