Chapter 746 5 Percent Chance Of Dying
Chapter 746 5 Percent Chance Of Dying
The pain that Raze had gone through before, the fact that when he had taken a few of the Cursed pills in a row, he wasn’t sure if he would ever wake up again, was something he thought he would never go through again.
He had somewhat even set a hard rule for himself not to do so, yet here he was, having taken a third Qi pill in a short amount of time. Using up his mana the first time to send the other factions away.
Then using a Qi pill to bring the Crimson Crane to his aid, using another Qi pill once again after using all of the Dark Edge Sword Arts against Murkel. Now having used up his Qi, using his strongest forms of magic, he had no choice but to use it for a third time.
“You should know the definition of an idiot,” Murkel said with a smile that curved heavily upward, almost just touching the corner of his eyes. “You are trying to do the same thing again and again, expecting a different result.”
From just taking the third pill, although Raze could feel his mana coming back to him, he could feel a great strain being placed on his magic core that was surrounding his heart.
With each thump, a shock was being sent through his body. This wasn’t the same as last time. His whole body was tensing up with each pulsation, but he had to hold it in, so he couldn’t even reply to Murkel.
Regardless, he didn’t think it was useless. Each time Raze was fighting against Murkel, he had allowed him to reveal more and more of his powers, and he was pretty sure Murkel was now at his peak.
This was the peak of his strength, so if he could just finish him off here, everything would be fine.

In the stands, most of the Crimson Crane members knew what Raze had just taken. They remembered when he had used such a pill fighting against Feebie from the main clan.
“What’s with that look on your face, why did that woman scream at him!” Rayna asked Alba who was by her side.
“The last time Raze took so many pills like that, he didn’t wake up for a week or so. We honestly thought he wasn’t going to wake up, and he’s taken three of those pills,” Alba explained. “The Qi pills made by the Dark Magus have been circulating for a while, and information has been passed to not take more than one within 24 hours.
“In cases where people have taken more than one in that time, it has resulted in death.”
“And you said he’s just taken three of those things!” Rayna shouted.
Of course, Alba felt like Raze being the Dark Magus himself knew about the side effects of the pills greater than anyone, and he possibly knew how to counter their effects more than others.
Which was why he could take several pills, but she wasn’t so sure.
“Raze is out there right now, risking his life for all of us, and all of us are just in the stands standing here. He could die. I have to go help him!” Rayna said, as she was ready to be on the move.
She wasn’t as hurt as the others that had been fighting; she was perhaps in the best condition, and as a middle-stage warrior, she had to be able to do something. She had jumped down from where she was in the stands and went to kick off one of the seats.
The moment she did, she saw a figure, dressed in a strange skin-tight black suit, with glowing red energy moving through it. The man seemingly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Rayna’s hand, pulling her down to the stands and off to the side.
“What are you doing, who even are you!” Rayna shouted.
She went to charge in again, trying to throw a fist, but the strange man had quickly blocked the fist.
“I am someone that is trying to save your life,” Zon answered as he threw the fist away.
Alba was trying to figure out where Zon had come from. In the stands, they all were now relatively close, considering half of the arena had already completely been destroyed.
When Raze had lifted everyone, he chucked everyone in the same general direction as well. So although everyone might be in different areas of the same stands, they were all relatively close.
Regardless, Alba, a middle-stage warrior, still was unable to sense someone coming in so fast.
“You’re just going to have to trust me on this one,” Zon explained. “But I have evaluated that even if you went in right now and helped, you would die in less than ten seconds, a fifty percent chance of dying in five seconds, and that’s only because the man you know as Raze would choose to help you.”
Hearing these words immediately caused Rayna’s blood to boil. How could a person she had never met before make such an evaluation?
“If you don’t believe me, then you must believe in Raze,” Zon continued. “If he believed that any of you would have been a help, he would have never cleared you from the arena floor in the first place.”
“It is because of all of you that he has been able to get this far, but that is as far as you can push him. For his sake, it’s best you don’t get involved. I assume that he has some feelings for you all; otherwise, he would have never pushed you out in the first place.”
The others that were standing in the stands had heard those words as well. It was hard for them to imagine, the Dark Magus, the man who hardly spoke to them, who only did things for his personal gain, with a focus on gaining strength, having feelings for them?
It didn’t seem to be true, but his actions always spoke otherwise. On top of this, hearing this from Zon only made them want to jump in more to help him, no matter how little it would be.
“If you want further information, the chances of Raze winning this fight from what I have seen are less than five percent,” Zon explained. “However, the look on his face, his expression is not one that thinks he is going to lose, and judging by his own expression, he believes he has a fifty percent chance of winning this battle.”
