Dark Magus Returns

703  The Strength of the Top (Part 1)

There were still a few fights taking place in the arena. The Light Faction continued to keep their eyes on them all, not knowing what was going to occur.

In the fights that had already taken place, unexpected things had occurred that the Light Faction could have never guessed.

Unexpected variables had occurred: hybrid beasts, people appearing out of portals, and there was Raze himself who had also interrupted one of the fights.

What seemed like a clear win for one side kept changing, and now they had to assume that the same could happen again.

There were four fights still going on. Tilon and Bargo were going up against the Moon Shield Clan head, Gavin.

Then there was Simyon and Safa, who were going against the mysterious warrior that wasn't affected by Qi.

On top of that, both Mada and Ricktor were fighting against the leader of the Flowing Force Clan, Crine.

All of the matchups would be extremely tough, especially for the young students who had next to no experience.

Lastly, there was the fight bringing the most attention, and that was the fight involving Murkel.

Both Alba and Amir were somewhat taking a back seat. They were jumping all over the place, trying to push back or attack Murkel from behind when they got the chance.

The reason they had to do this was because of the fierce battle taking place between a transformed Dame and Murkel.

The fight was intense, with Dame chasing Murkel all over the arena. There were constant punches coming from Dame with his multiple limbs.

He had landed quite a few successful hits, especially with the webbing from his mouth tying up Murkel's hands from time to time.

Dame was also using the special trait of his gauntlets, as he would hit Murkel from a distance, but that appeared to do the least amount of damage.

"You are relying on your body too much, rather than using skill!" Murkel said as he swung his hand in a large circular motion.

In doing so, his Dark Qi had gathered and almost left what looked like a small dark hole in the air.

When Dame went to punch, even with his limbs that were above, he felt all of them being dragged into the direction of the Dark Qi, rather than his target, Murkel. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Opening his mouth, he spat out the webbing, but Murkel spun his body, avoiding the attack, and then with his fist, hit Dame right in the stomach.

As he was pushed and skidding across the floor, Murkel was sticking to him like glue. He grabbed one of his many arms and then chucked him up in the air.

Murkel was ready to jump and deliver a stronger hit to try and finish the annoying Hybrid in his eyes, but before he did, both Alba and Amir came from both sides towards him.

With both of his arms, he blocked the attack from both them, grabbing on to their blades.

"You two managed to recover, but all you're doing is delaying. You have no plan to defeat me," Murkel said as he pulled both of them and jumped back.

Dame had landed back on the ground and charged forward towards Murkel again to start their exchange with each other once more.

Both Amir and Alba were looking at each other. It was safe to say they both felt a bit useless in this situation.

"What should we do?" Alba asked. "Do you have some sort of plan for this?"

"You mean you noticed it as well?" Amir said. "It seems that no matter what, Dame won't be able to win this fight.

"He had the element of surprise at first with his Hybrid form, but Murkel is now getting used to it. He's able to get his timing down to draw his larger limbs... and although he has been hurt a lot, for some reason it seems he isn't as badly damaged as I thought."

Alba couldn't agree more. Amir and Alba were both feeling the aches and pains of their bodies from the fight. They were even losing out on their Qi, Amir less so due to his own Hybrid body.

"Which means, at this rate, aren't we going to lose this fight?" Alba questioned.

That was when Amir looked around them. He was betting on all of the others. Out of all of these fights, someone had to be able to help them.

Then there was Raze as well; if they could at least hold out for him.

Off to the side, Ricktor had been keeping an eye on the fight going on between his father and Dame. It was a place where he wanted to be, but based on everything he had seen so far, he thought he had made the right decision.

'I thought it was my fate to go up against him. I trained hard to best him, but I can tell that if I was to go up against him like that, there wouldn't be much I could do in that situation.'

Ricktor then took a step back along with Mada.

'Besides, there is something else we need to worry about, because the opponent in front of us is also incredibly strong.'

Crine, the leader of the Flowing Force Clan, was letting his Qi flow out of him. As he had done so, the ground seemed to be turning into water. It reached far to the point where both Ricktor and Mada were now both standing in the water.

The mind was playing tricks. They knew it was visual Qi, but it looked like water, and with a single step, it would ripple out.

The scary part was, because it was Qi, both he and Mada could feel the strong power it had.

'This person is the leader of the second strongest clan in the Dark Faction, and us two have to do something about him,' Ricktor thought.

The issue was, his partner by his side, Mada, was hardly able to stand now that he was face to face with his father.
