Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 717 An Extra Hand

Tilon was a little dumbfounded, but a smile soon appeared on his face as he came to the realization.

"You're right! Why didn't I think of that? Attack me, hurry!" Tilion shouted.

Bargo wasted no time and began readying his Qi, pouring it into his sword, but he stopped for a

moment.

"Are you sure this is okay? What if I destroy your shield by accident? You won't blame me for it, right?" Bargo asked.

"Just hit the shield! It won't break with your attacks!" Tilon shouted.

Although Tilon didn't mean to insult Bargo, Bargo certainly took it that way and felt his strength was being questioned. Determined not to disappoint, he flipped his sword so the tip was facing away from him.

"The Falling Meteor!" Bargo called out, a slash from below. This was one of the strongest defensive and offensive techniques in the Moon Shield Clan's arsenal.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The strike hit the shield loud and powerful, and Tilon could feel the energy increasing

"I can't believe it, the shield didn't budge at all, and that was my strongest attack. Is this the strength of him... no, it has to be the shield itself," Bargo commented.

"Hey, why does it have to be the shield itself!" Tilon shouted back.

'The more energy in the shield, the more energy is passed onto me. I'm even stronger than before! Tilon thought as he saw Gavin up in the air, having jumped with the shield in view. Confident, Tilon then jumped up as well toward the strike. Gavin threw out a punch using the hand holding his shield, and just like before, he pulled back, stopping just short.

However, Tilon, expecting this and with his added strength, could see what was going to happen. Ile barged the shield further forward and slammed it into Gavin's fist. Energy could be felt drawing into the shield once again.

"Even if you're not planning on hitting it, I can still get some energy this way."

"Yes, but you're leaving yourself wide open!" Gavin shouted as he threw his leg from above and hit the top of Tilon's head, sending him to the ground.

Tilon crashed among the scats, destroying even the concrete underneath, but made sure to hold the shield in front of him. It was his saving grace and what was stopping Gavin from following up with more hits.

"Even if you block his attacks and get energy into that shield, he can still hit you," Bargo said next to him, gathering strength in his sword once again. "I guess you haven't figured out the strength of his shield."

Tilon wondered what the old man who was helping him was mumbling about. As he got up, Bargo helped by hitting Tilon's shield again, storing a great amount of energy in it.

"Listen well, each time Gavin strikes his shield, a resounding effect is heard. As it rings out and hits your body, it freezes you for a fraction of a second," Bargo explained. "Even if you gain more energy and become faster, that fraction of a second is all it takes for him to still attack you, so you need to be care-'

Out from the right side, a shield slammed right into Bargo's face, sending him tumbling and crashing into the distance. The concrete from the stands had broken so much that Bargo could no longer even be seen.

"OLD MAN!!!" Tilon shouted.

"What is an old fool like that doing, telling the secrets of this artifact? He has betrayed his clan, left us, so he deserves even worse than death. That was the only reason why I left him alone for so long, but then he ran his tongue just like that! Gavin claimed as he turned his head to look at Tilon.

"You're holding onto that shield tightly. I can't wait to pry it from your dead hands!" Gavin then hit the shield with one of his hands, and a ringing higher-pitched than one's ears could hear went out.

Gavin now went toward Tilon, and jumped in the air again to power his punch even further. When Tilon tried to move his shield in the way, it felt sluggish, as if everything had stopped. Just a centimeter too late, Gavin's fist pounded right into Tilon's face.

Tilon went to shove his shield forward when he felt his body slightly freeze for a moment again. He hadn't noticed it much before, but now that he was being extra sensitive after Bargo's words, he could truly feel that it was at work.

Another fist pounded into his chest, this time it was the fist with the shield. When it slammed into him, a heavy blow was felt in his entire chest, almost as if the bones were trying to cave into the rest of his organs.

"That hurts, that really hurts! Tilon thought.

Lifting his hand up, the tip of the shield then bashed into the bottom of Gavin's face. The edge cut into his chin and lifted him up. At the same time, Tilon decided to swing the shield toward Gavin's arm.

Gavin looked at it as if it was no worry, thinking a small hit would be fine, yet he was unaware of what Tilon had done. Activating one more of the traits of the shield, Tilon allowed the power to sharpen the edge, making it like a sword filled with powerful Qi energy.

As it moved through the side, it cut cleanly through Gavin's arm, forcing the arm holding the shield to be detached from his body, but the tip of the shield was still stuck in Tilon as well. When Gavin kicked away, Tilion now had an arm with a shield attached to his chin. Using his other hand, he pulled it out, and could still see the fist clenched holding onto the shield. Then he looked at Gavin who was with one less arm, stunned to the point where he was no longer moving,

"It looks like you're out of options. Tilon said with a smile. "And I'm now one arm up on you"
