?"What are you losers doing just standing there staring at him!" Eston shouted, "Get rid of the mage, he's on their side!"
Eston was deeply confused; he was surprised to see that the person they were protecting was a mage, and not just any mage, but a Dark one at that. But it was even more reason for them to get rid of him.
If his mind was clearer, then maybe Eston would have ordered them to just injure him, and once injured, he could question why a Dark Mage was with a bunch of Pagna warriors; he was sure Idore would want to know about that.
The thing was, he could see that Amir, who had been stabbed through the back, was on his feet again, and the Crimson Crane, although weak, all of them were still somehow alive, and it was frustrating him.
"If you were still alive, then you should have just stayed down and pretended you were dead!" Eston shouted.
Amir was holding onto the cut that was made on his stomach, applying pressure onto the wound. His body, being different compared to others, was still trying to heal it.
"Do you really think you have time to worry about me? I think you guys are unaware of who you might have just woken up."
Of course, Amir didn't know much about Raze. He knew his skills during the time he was a Pagna student, and knew that he was a part of Alter, but seeing him use magic as well, there was something about him.
It made Amir wonder, this situation with the Crimson Crane, everything that happened so far, was it because of this one person? Was all the events of the world revolving around him? If that was the case, then this person might be a bigger deal than anyone envisioned, and he was betting on that.
Standing there, Raze looked at the mages; they heard the order that had been made and a number of different spells started to be cast one after the other. Smoke and sand swirled in the air, and running right through it was none other than Raze himself.
He was wearing the special blazer on his body, his face wasn't covered and he was charging right at the group with Dark Magic swirling around his arms.
He got close to one of the mages and pulled down on one's hood; as he did, he lifted his hand smashing it right in the face. Dark Magic and Qi obliterated his face, exploding the mage's head before it fell to the ground.
Right after that, the second descending step was used, pushing him forward, and Raze struck with his Qi and attack. A large burst of Dark Magic went out, hitting two or three people.
As a mage was close to the side trying to use another spell on him, Raze then emitted a Dark Pulse to the side. A dark beam went right through their stomach.
Right after that, Raze flipped in the air, performing another of the descending steps. As he was spinning back down to the ground, his whole arm was now covered in lightning magic from the tip of his fingers right down to his shoulder.
He landed, punching his fist right on the ground. In doing so, the lightning went out, shocking those in the area. Usually, such a spell could be avoided by some, but it was almost impossible.
The lightning strike had extended out at an incredibly fast speed and spread incredibly far. This was all because Raze was combining his Qi with his magic.
The powerful punch spread out his Qi that was surrounded with lightning magic and now nearly all of those next to him, around thirteen or more mages, were affected.
Using his magic, one of his swords had appeared in his hand, and he threw it forward with great strength. It broke right through the barrier created by the robes the mages were wearing and stabbed two of them right through the stomach.
It was the lightning sword that was used, and right after it started to electrify them, causing them to fall on the spot.
Raze had only been fighting for a few moments, yet he had managed to cause a giant impact.
"What is going on… who is that person!" The squad leader shouted.
Alba, who was going against the squad leader, wanted to ask the same. The last time they had met Raze, he wasn't this strong. What had happened to him?
'The skills he's using, it was like when we went up against that Light Faction elder, but it seems very different..' The more Alba thought about it, the more it started to click into her head.
When they fought against the Light Faction elder, he was able to use the strange power or his Pagna skills, but what they were all witnessing Raze do right now, was magic and Pagna warrior skills combined.
Not just that, but Raze had been restrained by his damaged vocals. He had been condensing his Qi to be perfectly used, just the right amount, forcing it through. He was able to channel his Qi more efficiently and now, he could combine his Qi with any of his magic almost perfectly as well.
His powers had also grown; he was now a 4-star mage, and while in his state and being healed by Safa, something else had occurred as well. More impurities had left his body; Raze was already at the peak of the 6th stage.
His body had yet to reach the middle stages, yet somehow more impurities had been removed, and he felt lighter and stronger than before.
He could feel his body was lighter, his Qi was stronger, and using his skills due to his own training, he knew the perfect amount of Qi to use with next to no waste.
Before, when Raze was an early initial stage warrior, he predicted that with his magic he could just combine the two numbers and that was what level he was at. If he was a stage 3 warrior with his stage 3 magic, he could perhaps face someone at stage 6.
Now, Raze was a strong stage 6 and had 4-star level magic. Although his calculations might not be accurate since those in the middle stages varied in strength, Raze now certainly had the strength of a very strong middle stage warrior.
Standing there, he clenched his fist a few times. Landing right in front of him, chucking up all of the sand, Eston had appeared.
"I never would have thought, the one that had been asleep this whole time would be the biggest threat, it's time to get rid of you!" Eston stated, still in his Breakthrough state.
Eston, a 6-star mage, with his Breakthrough powers, was now going against the newly awakened Raze, and he still hadn't shown everything he had just yet.
