Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 665 The Final Match

The final match had been announced, and walking onto the stage were the three participants. On the ground floor itself, three circles had been drawn, spread an equal distance away from each other.

Each person got into one of the circles, and then they waited as they stared at the opponents in front of them.

"Who do you think's going to win?"

"I mean, it has to be someone from the Demonic Faction, right? They have two participants; they might team up and go against the one person from the Light Faction."

"The Demonic Clans aren't like that, though. You saw how bad their teamwork was. Their principles are based on just who is the strongest. Working together to take out Hannah, it wouldn't prove any of that. If it was the Dark Faction, then maybe."

"Still, even if that is the case, I just think out of all of them, that the Demon has the edge; he managed to take out all of his opponents so quickly."

"Don't rule out the others yet; you never know. Maybe the Demon was just lucky with the level of openents he has gotten so far. He could just be lucky with this whole thing."

"I guess we'll just have to find out."

There was a minute left as the audience continued to make their bets. The highest odds went to the Demon winning, in second Mantis, and finally, Hannah was placed last.

Even though Hannah was from the Light Faction and they were part of the Light Faction. The fact that the Demon Jake had beaten the strongest Light Faction student, most gave her no chance.

Concentrating, Hannah could hear the chatter from behind.

'I will ignore it all, I will do my best to perform and do the same as Beatrix taking down everyone with the hard work and the skills of the Dawnblade Clan.' Hannah told herself as she took a deep breath.

The three of them were staring at each other; would they all enter and clash in the middle? Would one student aim to go after the other? There was a number of large possibilities.

"Let The fight, begin!"

The circles surrounding the three of the students' feet disappeared, signaling it was the start of the fight.

In this type of situation, the best thing Hannah thought for her to do was just observe, so she drew her sword and waited for one of the two to come at her.

That's when she felt like the least likely outcome had occurred.

"Why is he doing that?"

Mantis had moved the fastest from his position, going in on the attack, but rather than going toward Hannah, instead, he had gone right for the student Jake.

"If I want to prove that I'm the strongest, then it means I have to go against the strongest!"

When Mantis was close, his feet shifted from his position, and there was a slight afterimage. He had quickly appeared right in front of Raze, striking from his side.

Raze had blocked the hit, pushing back with his Qi, and sparks were flying through the air. Both of them were pushing against each other.

'I should have expected something like this to happen.' Raze thought. 'The Demonic Faction only care about being the strongest, and he would be the same!'

At that point, Raze decided to pour more of his Qi into his sword, pushing back both of the claws. However, soon after, Mantis was also pushing back and had moved both of Raze's hands back.

'What is this, the amount of Qi he's using hasn't increased. This almost feels like it's his own physical power, but how is it possible.'

Raze surged his Qi, condensing it to one spot, and swung his sword, breaking the clawed hands, and pushing them to the side.

Almost immediately, Mantis was swinging his arms trying to attack Raze. Each attack was carefully blocked, from his side, from above, and each time Raze took a step back.

All of the blows were powerful, with shockwaves of wind hitting out and exploding through the air. The crowd could hear the heavy hits being produced.

They sounded stronger than the hits that had been used when fighting against Simyon.

'I'm right, these hits, I can feel that they don't have the Qi. He's not at the middle stage like Ricktor was, yet, he's able to produce such strong hits.'

For now, Raze was blocking each of them; he was trying to look for an opening, but it was hard to do with the constant attacks.

Raze had stomped his foot on the ground, producing the first step of the descending steps. The large amount of Qi would shift forward and disrupt an opponent's movement.

Yet, it didn't work on Mantis, as he was in the air, swinging another strike right on Raze's head. Thankfully, Raze was able to deflect most of the attack and moved to the side to get behind him.

"Your quite the annoying one to deal with." Raze thought.

Watching everything was Hannah. One of her strengths was observing her opponents and then coming up with a plan to counter such measures.

Going against two people, she knew this was going to be harder for her, and she would have to keep an eye out for two people instead of one.

With the outcome that had occurred, though, she was getting ample opportunity to look at both of them. However, this had caused some comments that had come from the crowd.

"Hey, maybe Hannah can win this way."

"Your right, if she just stays back and let's those two fight, surely they'll hurt and injure each other, then she can swoop in and win the fight."

"She's lucky this happened, honestly, it's the only way that she could have won."

Hearing these things, she knew that it appeared that way, and what they said, it certainly was true. The best thing to do was just to stay back and then come up with the perfect chance to strike.

'Winning like that, though, I would be ashamed of myself!' Hannah readied her sword and charged forward, running across the field.

She could see Raze continuously blocking the attacks of Mantis. Then when coming in close, she covered her blade in the glowing energy.

Pushing off from her leg, she struck from above, swinging her sword down, and it had clashed at the top. Raze's sword, Hannah's sword, and both of Mantis's hands had clashed together.

Right at that moment, she realized how much power was being used in the strikes, and she had to grit her teeth.

'These two have been going at it for a while now, and they've been using this much strength, how is that possible!'

Mantis was the one who then poured more power into his strike, pushing both of the weapons away. When he went to attack Raze again, he felt a kick in his chest sending him back, and skidding across the floor.

"Thanks for the opening," Raze said, looking at Hannah, who had also continued to swing her sword against him, but when their two swords clashed, she felt her entire sword fling back nearly out of her hand.

"You're skilled, perhaps the most skilled person here, but unfortunately for you, I have to win this match!" Raze placed his sword toward the side and looked at both Mantis and Hannah.

"I'll get rid of both of you in this hit!" The entire of his sword started to encase in his black Qi.
