Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 942: Raze vs Belil (Part 5)



Brack watched from above as he could see a weakened Raze being held up with one hand. Although he hadn't seen Raze fight against Sha Mo himself, it was clear from the power and techniques he displayed that he was incredibly powerful.

Yet, after everything, the fight had turned out extremely one-sided, and now it almost looked like Raze had nothing left.

"Is this it?" Belil shouted as he shook him with one hand. "Is this it!" Belil shouted again, his voice erupting with Qi.

Moving his hand, Raze then grabbed onto Belil with both hands. As he did, his veins started to bulge, and through the simple touch, energy began coming back into Raze.

Immediately, Belil pulled his arm away, and Raze dropped to the floor, landing crouched.

"The Demonic Extraction technique... and it was absorbing energy at such a fast rate... I guess you still have something, but it's useless!" Belil said.

While crouched, Raze summoned two swords in his hands, one enchanted with lightning, the other his Ghost blade, and he swung them both at Belil.

Moving to the side quickly with his foot technique, Belil avoided them both, then lifted his hand and delivered a slap across Raze's arm. It was so forceful that it caused Raze's body to spin out of control.

Right as Raze regained his footing, another hand came right at his face, and the palm struck him cleanly, swinging his head to the side.

The taste of iron filled his mouth, and blood soon followed, falling onto the floor.

"Come on, what is this? Use everything-you took my energy, right? So you must have something!" Belil shouted.

Raze lifted his sword, but only half of it was encased in black energy as he attempted to swing it down. Before he could fully swing the weapon, Belil moved forward, grabbing Raze's wrist and lifting it.

Once again, with his free hand, Belil slapped Raze, this time across his ribs. The searing pain shot through his body, and a shockwave could even be seen extending out the other side.

"I'm not even bothering to use any techniques now; this is getting ridiculous!"

With Raze's eyes half-open, he continued to swing his swords, either pouring Qi energy or mana into them. He wasn't fully aware of what he was doing, and in the middle of the fight, all he could hear were Belil's words ringing in his ears.

Each time Belil said something, it caused Raze to tighten his grip around the weapon and swing, drawing even more energy than he thought he had.

Energy he didn't think he had left-willpower he didn't think he had-seemed to appear from within him. On top of that, thoughts started to fill his head as well.

'I only defeated Murkel because of the Bloody Woman. Right now, she's nowhere to be seen, her words aren't in my head... Is this because of what I said last time, how I could do things on my own?'

'If I die, don't you die as well?'

Despite thinking these things, there was still no voice in his head. All he could do was muster a slight smirk as he took another swing, but it was stopped, and Belil responded with another strike to his face.

He could feel nearly all the muscles in his body completely swollen.

'The breakthrough... it was because I regained my old powers that I was able to defeat Sha Mo. Without that and without the Bloody Woman taking over my body... there's no chance I can win this fight.'n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In Raze's view, he saw blood leaving his mouth again. He was surprised he could still bleed, surprised he was still standing-just what was keeping him up on his feet in the first place? 'Pathetic, this whole thing is pathetic. Did I win all my fights before just because I was lucky? Now that the luck hasn't fallen my way, I've finally lost this fight... I've finally lost my life.'

Summoning up even more energy from within, Raze charged forward, kicking off the floor. He moved his hand over his sword, covering the lightning enchantment and growing it even larger.

Swinging it sideways, the lightning on the sword extended and lashed out like a whip.

In response, Belil threw his fist right through the lightning, destroying it, and then charged toward Raze again.

Coming right at him, Raze didn't even use his magic to put his weapons away. Instead, he placed his hands together and shot a large beam of black energy.

It hit Belil's body and pushed him back slightly, but only for a moment. It continued to hit Belil as he walked forward. All it seemed to do was slow him down, and eventually, the magic from Raze's hands ceased.

"I've... run out of mana?" Raze thought.

In this situation, if his head wasn't filled with strange thoughts, maybe he would have used a cursed Qi pill to keep fighting just a bit longer.

Or maybe his mind was sound, and it was telling him that even if he used it, it would be useless in the end.

Regardless, at that moment, he thought one thing.

"If I can't use my mana, then I'll just use my Qi!" Raze took one step forward, and immediately, his entire body fell to the ground, landing flat on his face.

"What... is this...? I can't even move my body."

Belil, not even drawing out his own Qi, simply walked toward Raze, who was staring at him from the corner of his eye.

"You've used every ounce of energy in your body; you have exhausted all your Qi. This is your body's way of saving you. If you drew out anything else, it would use your life force, and you would end up with nothing." With his foot, Belil kicked Raze, pushing him onto his back.

His face, his body-everything was a complete mess. Belil knelt down by his side and placed his hand right on Raze's chest.

"It looks like you have failed this test," Belil said, as the veins on his hand started to bulge.

Immediately, Raze recognized the feeling-it was the extraction technique... his life was about to be taken away.
