Dark Magus Returns

”I went to the Dark Magusʼ room, but it appears as if heʼs not there.” Fixteen informed. ”It doesnʼt look like heʼs left either, as he hasnʼt checked out and paid the fee for another night at the place.”

There was something else that Fixteen didnʼt say either. He had tried to look into the young warrior he had seen before, but when he had met with him, the news that he had learned of what had happened disturbed him a little.

ʼWas it the young masterʼs father? He might have sent a high-tier warrior to help him without him knowing about it. To turn the tide of the fight if something went wrong? Thatʼs the most likely answer right now.ʼ

”I have another message for you; it appears your father wishes to meet you, and now.” Fixteen stated.

Almost immediately, the smile had disappeared right from Dameʼs face. He had almost sobered up in an instant and stood up from his seat. The others were having far too good of a time to even notice as the two of them went away.

After returning back from the little battle, Raze had entered his room, took a little break before heading out again. He didnʼt want to waste any time, as he wanted to learn more of the sword skills.

Exiting out of the city, he had gone to the same spot as he had done before. He had been practicing the sword formations for a while now and had managed to learn two of them. He perfected the forms first; this took the longest time.

Then with the forms but in the right amount of Qi. Then finally, he added the two things together and was striking a rather large rock in front of him. Doing the move correctly, Raze had managed to make a groove in the rock.

It was clearly a powerful strike, but it made him think.

”Maybe it will work now that I know one of the formations?” Raze thought.

Holding the sword with both hands above his head, Raze focused. Magic started to swirl around his arm, and then coated over the sword. It had a similar appearance to when one would use sword Qi, but this wasnʼt sword Qi.

It was wind magic added onto the sword.

”The devilʼs first formation, blood fall!” Raze said to himself as he took a step forward and swung down.

The moment the Qi went through his body and the strike, it had magnified the force of the wind magic as well, making it grow in size and color. It slashed right into the rock.

Now looking at it, Razeʼs sword hadnʼt just made a simple groove; it had cut right through it and stopped around halfway.

ʼThe magic on the sword, it got stronger when Qi was added to the formation. I didnʼt even use any more mana; it was the Qi that supplied the magic making it an even stronger attack... magic and Qi working together like this is a lot more effective than I thought.ʼ

Raze smiled, looking at his hand, and clenched his fist. He took the sword out of the rock and got into the same stance again.

He then held the sword up above his head, and magic started to swirl around his hand and swirl around the sword, but it wasnʼt wind magic; this time, it was Dark magic.

”Magic and martial arts combining together, they work in harmony. Just what type of cheat is this!” Raze smiled as he swung his sword down.
