Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 858: I Took Down The Behemoth Clan!



Umonke and Kilper, receiving the order from their leader, quickly decided to move. They navigated through the battlefield fairly easily. Arrows were constantly fired toward them due to their large size, but they only had to move their heads slightly or step to the side, allowing the attacks to miss them completely.

At one point, Kilper shifted slightly, allowing a part of his large weapon to deflect an arrow. It fiercely hit the metal part, then ricocheted off and landed right in the head of another Behemoth Clan member.

"Crap," Kilper said. "I'm not used to fighting with everyone by our side."

Although the Behemoth Clan was the largest and held the most territory in the Demonic Faction, it was the first time they had utilized such a large force like this.

Regardless, Kilper didn't want to kill his own men, and that frustrated him quite a bit.

'I was meant to go for the one with the big sword,' Kilper observed as he saw another large thrust and members of the clan being flung into the air, crashing into the larger army.

It was quite clear that Kizer was doing the most damage to the army, but second to him, those on the wall firing arrows were taking down those who weren't paying attention.

At that moment, another arrow was flying through the air, aiming right for Kilper. Raising his hand, he caught it. He could feel the energy residing in the arrow, and it wasn't Qi energy, but using his own power, he was able to stop it from inching closer.

'Weapons that allow regular humans to have a chance against Pagna warriors who have trained for years are certainly dangerous,' Kilper thought. 'Let's go ahead and deal with the archers first.'

Qi flowed from his dantian into his hand and eventually surrounded the arrow. Leaning back slightly, with his arm over his shoulder, he then launched the arrow back through the air.

A large current formed around the arrow, pushing back the Behemoth Clan warriors who were close to Kilper.

The arrow was fiercely heading straight for the upper wall where the archers were stationed. Fixteen could feel the large amount of Qi energy the arrow carried.

'If that hits the wall, it will break it in a single blow. The archers may be strong because of the weapons they are using, but they can't defend themselves from an attack like that.'

Fixteen pulled out his sword by his side and stood on top of the wall. He burst off, kicking from the wall, and headed straight for the arrow.

While in the air, he spun his body several times and pierced his sword right at the arrow. However, the strength of the arrow was too much, and the Qi overwhelmed him, flinging his entire body onto the hard floor.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It just went to show how much Qi had been used.

'I might have underestimated the Pillars' strength. With the Crimson Crane so busy, will we be able to handle them as well?' Fixteen thought.

Andy could see the arrow still hurtling towards them at full speed.

"Brace yourselves!" Andy shouted to them.

That's when he felt another person stand on the wall. Andy noticed from behind, it was the same person who had spoken about the fight between Cronker and one of the pillars.

Just before the arrow came forward, the man standing on the wall swung his arms, and black chains shot out from underneath his garments. They wrapped around the arrow, and pulling it, the arrow flung to the ground off to the side, in an area where there were next to no people.

When the arrow hit the ground, the flooring was destroyed as it still had much of its power left.

The person who had deflected the arrow was none other than Lince, the leader of the Lost Clan, another one of the main three clans in the Demonic Faction.

'Crap,' Lince thought. 'I said I wouldn't get involved, but I wanted to see more of how this fight would play out, and if that arrow had hit, it would have been harder for me to observe from a safe position where I wouldn't get caught.'

Lince quickly dropped back down and went to blend in with the others.

"Thanks for that," Andy said. "I don't know who you are, but since you helped us, I won't be complaining much."

Lince stayed quiet, as he still had no intentions of fully helping them.

"Hmm, the person on the wall who deflected that must have had strong Qi," Kilper noticed. "Maybe the town of Flendon has a hidden secret after all. It could also be that was the Dark Magus."

"If that's the case, then I will stick to my goal after all," Kilper said as he made a turn and instead of heading straight for the wall, he was now on his way to where Kizer currently was.

As he made his way there, Kilper suddenly felt the air shift to his right. He twisted his head, and the large weapon he was carrying on his back swung out, the chain flinging one part of the metal sword.

As it swung out, it clashed right against another sword.

Turning to look at who it was, Kilper was surprised to see such a young individual.

"Someone your age has the power of a middle-stage warrior?" Kilper said.

"I'm not just anybody though," Ricktor answered. "And by the way, I'm not alone!"

Lifting his hand, Kilper had to react fast as his forearm arrived just in time to block a large kick. The image of a waterfall appeared, and it rushed right into his arm.

"Another young one?" Kilper thought. "How are there such strong warriors, and I have never heard of you? Are you part of the Crimson Crane?"

"Crimson Crane?" Mada said as he poured more strength into his kick. "We're part of the Dark Faction!"

With both hands being used to block the attack, it was then a third person appeared down the center. With a gust of wind, they kicked off the ground.

Kilper saw, oddly, a large pair of wings just before he felt an intense blow right to his stomach. A powerful strike, like being hit by a cannonball, sent him skidding across the floor.

"Speak for yourself," Mantis said, with beast wings coming off from his back. "I'm from the Splitting Fang Clan, I'm from the Demonic Faction, and everyone's going to know-the Black Tiger is the one who took down the Behemoth Clan!"
