Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 889 A Takeover From Within

The voice of the bloody woman rang true in Raze's head. It wasn't the first time it had appeared either, and if anything, it had appeared more often.

Ever since Raze had used the special Chalice to try and call a Divine being, he thought he might have gotten rid of the bloody woman. She hadn't appeared in a long time, nor did he hear her voice.

If anything, it felt like her presence had somewhat disappeared. There was silence, but when Raze had attempted to try his new techniques along with Amir in the academy, the voice had reappeared and was talking to him more frequently.

Raze had tried to ask it questions as to who she was, why she had chosen him, and whether or not she was a Divine being, but whenever he asked these questions, he would just hear the sound of laughter in his head.

The only thing the bloody woman wanted to talk about was letting her take over his body—just accepting more of her and drawing out some of her power.

Of course, Raze wasn't going to let such a thing happen, but one day when he had been training with Amir, and Raze had pushed himself to the point where he was almost completely spent of energy.

He felt something—his hand moving on its own. It was movement as if it wasn't his own. Stranger things were occurring as his senses were changing, the smell of iron was hitting his nose, and he could feel the flow of blood rushing through his veins.

Keeping his will and focusing, he could use his hand again, but he felt like he had almost lost himself.

'You think I'm going to lose this fight, you think I would lose to him before I lost to them? Don't even think about asking such a stupid question!' Raze said.

With one hand, he held the Ghost blade, and with the other, he was gathering Dark magic around his palm, but as it flowed out of his hand, it seemed to reverse back in.

'My Dark magic—it really is all flowing to my mana heart. This is not a good situation,' Raze thought as he looked at the new Sha Mo's body in front of him.

Instead of using his Dark magic, Raze had switched to wind swirling around his arm, and that seemed to activate somewhat fine.

Sha Mo, on the other side, in his smaller body form, had gotten into a real fighting stance. Bending his knees slightly, he placed one hand in front of the other.

"This will be your grave!" Sha Mo exclaimed as he swung one fist right in front of the other.

Raze quickly moved to the side as he felt a giant shockwave of explosion go off behind him. He pushed himself off the ground, creating a tornado of air, and swung the Ghost blade, firing off a shot of the Crimson Slash.

Sha Mo, staying in his position, swung his arms, and before the attacks even hit him, they seemed to be destroyed by some strange force.

Raze had landed quite close to where Sha Mo was and went in to attack him directly with the sword.

At that point, Sha Mo crossed his arms, and in doing so, a force was felt slamming right through Raze, left and right. It hit him strongly, shaking his entire body.

His legs skidded across the floor, and as he coughed, specks of blood came out from his mouth. A strange pain and heaviness could still be felt throughout his entire body.

'What was that? I wasn't within range of his attack,' Raze thought. 'It's almost like a Qi blast, but projectile Qi was said to only be possible from Divine beings or special items. I can tell he has no such items on him.'

Ricktor and Mada, who were watching the fight, had a strange sense of familiarity as they saw this.

Raze couldn't stop to rest, though. Just as his legs stopped skidding across the floor, he could see Sha Mo in the air, still around twenty or so meters away from him, spinning his body.

"Dark Pu—" The Dark magic still didn't surround Raze's hand, and he was unable to fire it away.

Switching to wind, he pushed his body to the side, and just as Sha Mo landed on the ground, a large crash occurred by his side.

When Raze looked at the floor, it looked as if a giant pillar had been smashed onto the ground itself. The floor was dented beyond where Raze was, and it led all the way up to Sha Mo himself.

'It's not like projectile Qi. Projectile Qi can detach Qi from his body. He's just extending it out from his body and able to fight as if he has giant weapons in his hands.'

This was why Ricktor and Mada had a familiar feeling when seeing this. What Sha Mo was doing was quite similar to what one of the Pillars they had fought against could do as well.

The issue was, because it was Qi, it was incredibly difficult to see.

"What's on your mind?" Sha Mo said as he landed next to Raze and stomped on the ground. Suddenly, Raze was lifted up off his feet.

Before he knew it, a strike from above landed on him, crushing him onto the ground. More pain was felt, as it didn't feel like ordinary Qi was being used.

With every hit, Raze's cells seemed to be affected, and he felt like his body was slowing down and listening to him less.

When Raze got up from the floor, he could see Sha Mo. Before Sha Mo reached him, Raze activated lightning around his feet and quickly disappeared from the situation.

He had gathered distance from Sha Mo, but there was clearly one person who was far more hurt from everything that was happening.

'Not only can he do this strange stuff with his Qi, but he's also faster and more agile as well. He's definitely stronger than Murkel, but I'm not sure about the Red Hybrid.'

"It's fine," the bloody woman said. "Continue fighting. The more you lose control of your body, the more I can take over."
