Dark Magus Returns

In the fight so far, Raze had used all of the Dark Edge Sword Arts he knew, and they didn't work. He also used a number of large magic spells, and that didn't work either, and even used a combination of both spells and his Qi, and that didn't work.

Throughout the fight, he was trying to think of the best way to fight him. Taking another Cursed Qi pill for a minute would restore either his mana or Qi.

'When taking the pill, just like I've learned to cultivate the demonic energy to restore my Qi and the Dark cultivation to restore my mana, I can do the same when taking the pill and choose to restore either one. In this case, I've decided to restore my mana!'

Dark energy was flowing around Raze's body.

'I became the Dark Magus because of my prowess in Dark magic, along with Wind magic. It's what I know best, so it's time that I fight like I used to!' Raze thought to himself.

Raze took a few steps forward as if he was running and then leapt up in the air. He stayed in place as he used his Wind magic to keep him up and swung out his hands, firing off Dark Pulses from his hands right toward Murkel.

Crystallizing his arms, Murkel was able to increase the surface area so it looked more like a shield, and the Dark energy was just hitting the red crystal, bouncing off it.

Raze quickly moved his position, changing from side to side, and continued to fire off Dark Pulses from all angles while in the air. Specifically, Raze was able to get shots off from angles and positions that were hard to block, but Murkel was talented.

As he looked at the beams of Dark energy being shot through the air coming his way, he would move his hand through the air, hitting them perfectly. He was jumping, avoiding some, allowing them to hit the floor while hitting away others, and spinning his body to attack each one of them.

"You think just because you're up there I can't get you!" Murkel said as he jumped back, avoiding two beams, and threw out his hand. The red crystal extended outward coming right toward Raze.

Seeing this, Raze shoved both of his hands forward, shooting out a consistent dark beam of energy, hitting the red crystallization. For the first time, the red crystallization had been stopped.

It was pushing it back in the air. The Dark magic power and the red crystallization trying to form, but then out from the sides, the red crystal was forming more places in the air, just like when it was coming out like a spider web, and several single strands of the red crystal were now coming out at Raze.

"That's fine," Raze said, as he continued to let out Dark energy from one hand and with the other he formed a ball of wind. It was spinning, forming a ball of wind, and then it expanded out until it covered Raze like a large shield of wind.

Slowly, Raze twiddled his finger, and tendrils of Dark magic were forming into the ball of wind and surrounding Raze until there was a large black ball in the air.

As the crystal went forward from all angles, it was breaking when trying to enter and attack Raze. The strong wind currents that were constantly spinning were filled with Dark magic, making them stronger, and a strong form of defense had been made.

After breaking it all, Raze then moved forward, and the ball of wind behind him was slowly following. As he flew in the air toward Murkel, the wind of Dark energy was hovering behind him.

"It's hard when you're fighting against someone whose capabilities you don't know," Raze claimed. "But the situation is the same for both of us."

Raze landed just shy of where Murkel was standing, and the wave of Dark magic mixed with wind soon wrapped right around Murkel.

The wind, along with the Dark magic, was constantly spinning around Murkel's entire body. It was hitting him from every side, hitting the crystallized segments as well as the flesh parts of his body, ripping his skin up.

Now Raze was close, and he didn't stop there. He held out both of his hands, and Dark magic was lingering from his fingertips into the tornado of attack. The tornado of Dark magic was getting larger and bigger in size.

"Do you think this is enough to stop me?"

Through the dark tornado of power, Raze could see a red figure. It was bright, still being able to be seen just slightly through the tornado of darkness. It didn't just cover one part of the body, but seemingly covered the entire part of the body.

Raze couldn't quite make it out but could see it was trying to come forward, still being hit by the magic.

"I never for a moment thought that would be enough to finish you." Raze lifted both of his hands, a large ball of Dark energy was being created, and it was being condensed down as more Dark energy was flowing out of his body.

The ball was vibrating as if it was struggling to contain its power and seemingly looking like it could explode at any second.

"Negative, Dark Bomb." Raze said as he threw both of them out, the size of his fist.

The balls went right into the tornado, and just like an explosion, exploded. The Wind magic broke out, sending Dark magic flying in all directions, and the two bombs had expanded, creating darkness.

It expanded out at first, but with Raze there, he lifted his hands and pushed the Dark magic back to where the target was, completely covering the area where Murkel once stood.

'As a five-star mage, this is the strongest Dark magic I know. I can't access the spells I had as a nine-star mage, but it's stronger than when I was a Dark mage at five-star before because now I have a Dark core! Things are different this time, and I will get rid of the Grand Magus!'
