Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 753 Murkel's Last Stand



753  Murkel’s Last Stand

The blooded woman who had taken over Raze’s body was still using only one technique, constantly lifting her arm and slamming her fist into Murkel. There was just enough time between each hit for Murkel’s body to slightly recover.

As the powerful hit landed on Murkel, the crystals on his body would break but start to reform, to the point where Murkel believed that this person was doing this on purpose.

“He’s playing with him,” Liam spoke with his mouth wide open. “Just moments ago, there was nothing that Raze could do, and now things have completely changed. This is making no sense; that item changed the outcome of the battle far too much.”

“You still haven’t managed to properly utilize the system, have you?” Zon asked. “If you enhanced your hearing, you would be able to tell just what the conversation between these two has been. The person there is no longer the Raze you knew, and after they’re done with the red Hybrid, it will be our turn to deal with that.”

The blooded woman lifted her hand again, ready to deal another blow, and that’s when Murkel took a chance. He grunted and tensed his entire body, forcing the crystals to grow out of his body quickly and form a type of shield.

As the fist hit the red crystal first rather than his body, this gave him a moment to break away.

‘This fight is a lost cause right now, I can see that. I just need a moment, a single moment, and I can get out of this situation!’ Murkel started to think.

Yet, he was finding it incredibly hard to find that moment, as he was unable to even see where the long-haired man was. It clearly wasn’t in his sight. The vibrations of crystals were acting up on his right side, and deciding to listen to them, he formed hard crystals over his body on one side, forming what looked like a giant shield.

The same technique, the same fist, had landed, breaking the crystal apart. A shockwave from the attack was sent through Murkel’s body, but he wasn’t as badly hurt as he usually would have been, and even he was surprised by this.

“You’re getting stronger,” the woman said as she appeared in front of Murkel and grabbed his head. “You should listen to your body’s instincts a lot more, listen to the beast inside of you.”

She then threw the fist again, pounding it right into Murkel’s face. The power had broken away whatever the red substance was that was covering his face and tore away his white eyes, and now his true face could be seen underneath.

“There always has to be a limit to something, and I just guessed that your regeneration limit was going to be finished before my strength started to wane.”

Murkel looked up and did the same strike as before, extending the crystals from his body and aiming them all in the direction of the one holding him. It caused the woman to let go and for him to break free.

Murkel slipped to the ground as he jumped back.

‘Will I have time to catch my breath, will there be an opening, or do I just risk it…’ Murkel started to think, the issue was that he didn’t have much time to think.

“I’ll just have to risk it all!” Murkel shouted to himself. The crystal on his back enlarged and both of his hands were covered in red crystals again. It was slightly larger than the times before but didn’t look too different from what they had seen before.

“What did you say before? That only an idiot tries the same thing again and again and expects a different result?”

Everyone’s eyes had practically been glued to the fight ahead. They had to prepare for what was to come next after all, and the actions they needed to take. This was why none of them were aware of what was happening below the arena.

The three warriors from the Light Faction had been watching everything. Since they had the displays showing everything below, Hannah was no longer right up at the surface and instead had come down near Beatrix to watch the ongoing fight.

Both of them were stunned by how strong this particular individual was, but Ricar was too busy trying to use the artifact. He had gotten the hang of using it slightly, restoring parts of the arena floor.

Surprisingly, using the artifact was easier than he imagined. Just placing his hand on the device, he could see a picture, an image of a map in his mind. It was the area where the artifact’s power would work.

What he also noticed was it drained his Qi when using it. So the area size seemed to be determined by how strong his Qi was. It now made sense why several warriors were located below to make changes.

The tricky part was carefully changing the structure, and so far, Ricar had been doing it throughout the fight. First, he had just changed areas out of sight from the others, places where no one was paying attention.

However, he had to make drastic changes as this continued. During the fight, it felt like the flooring was going to collapse, and the three of them would be trapped at any moment. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

So he was repairing the flooring, changing the structure during the fight to help protect them. Although the bloody woman did notice this, she had decided to ignore it due to the fight that was going on and didn’t believe it would really be a problem for them either way.

“What are you going to do?” Beatrix said. “It looks like the red Hybrid will lose this fight.”

“Yes.” Ricar replied. “But did you not hear their conversation? If my guess is right, the other person is now a Divine being, which could be an even bigger problem for us all. Right now, I have to think of what is best for the Light Faction, and what’s best is to get rid of them both!”
