Dark Magus Returns

The system had acted strangely with Liam in many ways. He still hadn't gotten the hang of a voice being in his head, and at times it truly felt as if he was having a conversation with another person.

He had asked about how things worked, and in general, as he went through life as a warrior, the system would in turn explain things back to him.

Yet this was the first time such a message had come up, and he had no idea what to do or what it meant.

"Connect, what does connecting do?" Liam asked out loud.

Right then, Lulu and Lin were both charging toward them, and despite the hit from Anna, they were both still in relatively strong condition.

"These guys, they're about as strong as the pillars from the Behemoth Clan. It took a lot to go up against them as well. This is going to be hard," Anna said to herself as she looked at Liam. "Just connect already. Do you want to die?"

Lin then jumped in the air, and for a moment, Lulu stopped. Right after, she kicked Lin's foot, allowing her to boost off and come toward the two like a rocket.

Immediately, Anna pulled Liam back and placed both of her hands forward. The red glow underneath her skin shined brightly as she shoved her hands forward, creating a small beam of energy.

The beam of energy hit the fan dead on, and the energy was now rippling against the fan. The powers seemed somewhat equal.

'I don't like using my energy this way. It's a powerful way to create external energy that can be on the same level as these warriors, but it also drains energy from me the quickest.'

"Did you forget about me?" Lulu said, as she lifted her knee and slammed it into Anna's stomach. The hit was hard and heavy, but Anna was relatively heavy, so she hardly moved.

It didn't matter though, as it gave an opportunity for both of the sisters to strike. One attacked from above with her hands, and Anna would block the strike, allowing the other to use her metallic fan to strike Anna.

The metallic fan was hitting and cutting around a centimeter deep into Anna's skin. Marks were being made and blood was being drawn, but the skin was also seen healing at the same time.

"This person is tough!" Lin claimed. "We need to do more if we want to crush them."

Liam was watching the whole thing. Now that the two of them were focused on Anna, she was unable to keep up.

[If your fellow system user keeps going like this, there is a 90 percent chance she will lose.]

'But won't your nano machines just keep on healing her, and she will eventually find an opening, right?'

[After gathering data on the martial arts, the martial arts that these two Pagna warriors use are superior to most of the techniques that you have seen.]

[The martial arts can also not be copied on a one-to-one basis due to the user's condition. At the moment, the system cannot come up with a way to win.]

"But you said that there's only a 90 percent chance of losing, right? That means there is something that can be done?" Liam asked.

[The system can only base situations on what the system knows. There are factors that can be added that can change the fight.]

[Whether it's a weakness of the attackers or a strength of the two of you.]

For a moment, Liam thought about running away. He was useless in the fight anyway. If he had helped the others, maybe someone else could come and help Anna. That would be much better for her.

Yet for some reason, Anna was doing a lot to help him out, and she was the only one that knew the strange secret about himself.

Although he wasn't sure it would help, he at least wanted to do something.

"System, Connect."

A slight tingle was felt in Liam's brain at that point, and it was the same for Anna.

'Took you long enough,' she thought as she blocked a hit and then forced the fan to go into her shoulder, avoiding a fatal blow from the other.

[System is initializing. Information is being shared by the two system users. Formulating best use of plan.]

It was right then and there that Liam could see it. He had thrown his sword at full strength. It went through the air, and Lin had avoided the strike.

As she had done at the perfect time, Anna struck her, hitting her right across her face. Lulu came forward with the metal fan, and that was when Anna managed to grab the sword that had been thrown and blocked the attack.

Lulu was amazed. She didn't understand. How could she predict everything that was about to happen? How did she utilize the weapon that was thrown by the other person?

None of it made sense. Then, throwing the sword up in the air, Anna started to strike at Lulu, and before she knew it, she felt a sword strike right against her back with two swords.

Liam had successfully delivered a cut right across her back.

"You!" Lulu turned around.

However, Liam ignored her and continued to run forward, going for Lin, while Anna then delivered a heavy punch right to Lulu's face.

While Liam went to block a strike, his arms still swung out of the way as Lin had overpowered him, but it was all the time Anna needed. She pulled him by his clothes back just in time, then went forward and shot out a beam of energy from her hand, hitting Lin in the stomach.

"What is this?" Liam asked, amazed by how the situation was turning around.

"This is what the system can do, and what you can do with multiple system users," Anna explained.

Connecting the systems allowed the two of them to share information in multiple ways. The system could process what both users could see, and what both users could do.

It could come up with situations to utilize both of them rather than individuals, and now without having ever worked together, both of them could work perfectly.

This was one of the things from the Red Fortis army, one of the most difficult armies to deal with on planet Tronzo, where Anna was from.

A special unit of system users that could work together. In war, on the battlefield, or as a special unit of individuals, connecting more system users made them an unstoppable force.

There were few things that could take them down, especially if their leader Zon was present. The strongest of the Red Fortis Army.

Right now, the only link Anna had to him and to getting back to Tronzo was Liam, so she would do anything she could to protect him.

After the two twins had been hit a couple of times, trying to attack, they had a frustrated look on their faces, at least at first.

The two of them had gathered again, and a large smirk appeared on their faces.

"We are one of the reasons as to why the Tulip Clan rose to its position, and now we will show you how we got rid of every man that existed in our clan!" Lin and Lulu both said at the exact same time
