Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 528 Nightmare Veil Formation (Part 1)

The Dark Edge Sword Art skills were techniques that were produced by the Dark Faction founder, who, just like Raze, was someone from another world.

These techniques were incredibly special since they had two ways to use them: the regular way with just Qi, and an added way with magic.

Because of this, it was hard for Raze to perfect the skills. It had been a long time since he had studied something and didn't quite understand how they worked.

Which was why he was only able to learn up to the 4th formation out of the eight formations so far. However, during his fight against one of the dimension's bosses with incredibly hard skin, he had used the 4th formation, the Void Pulse Technique. He had yet to use the 3rd formation. There hadn't been a time when he could use it.

Niang had survived the 2nd and 4th strikes so they were useless, and the first formation was just a bind; it didn't actually do any damage.

Which left him with no choice; he was now performing the 3rd formation.

"The third formation, Nightmare Veil!" Gliding his hand across the sword, Dark magic encased the Ghost blade, this was until he reached the very tip.

Right after, Raze then swung the sword in a circular formation like that of a clock, and from the sword itself, the Dark magic was fading into a mist, a dust.

That dust was covering the area in front of them, turning into a very thin fog. The colors in front of everyone were now slightly darker, even with the light shining in from the destroyed buildings.

"This is your big trick?" Niang said as he continued to move forward and waved his hand through the mist. In doing so, it did nothing.

It had dispersed the particles slightly, but the faded color just seemed to come back after. Seeing how it was fine, Niang decided to just go for it and charged straight at Raze.

In response, Raze swung his sword, and when he did, from the end heading straight for Niang, was what looked like a giant lion.

It had appeared right at the end of his swing with its ferocious teeth. For a moment, Niang was startled by what was in front of him, and he had decided to punch it with his fist technique.

On impact, the lion was hit right in the face and exploded. As it did, remnants of Dark magic touched Naing's body causing great pain to his skin.

His glowing body started to heal the wounds, but before he knew it, all sorts of different creatures were starting to appear.

Lions, giant six-legged creatures, even humans without heads were appearing, coming straight at him.

Niang had no choice but each time having to use his fist technique to punch them. They were coming at a fast speed, and he needed to act.

In the middle of it all though, Raze had appeared right there. Right after Niang had punched a giant spider creature, Raze came swinging his sword and had managed to cut him right on his chest.

Niang was pushed back, as he moved away, his body still healing, but now the dark creatures were still coming after him.

Those that were watching, they could see the creatures as well.

"I don't understand what is happening, I've never seen a sword technique like this before!" Ivor commented. "A sword technique that can produce creatures… beasts from other dimensions!"

Bargo was paying special attention, and he thought he had some of the technique figured out. Great talents could create images out of their visual Qi when they struck.

Striking in a certain way with an image in their mind could make the strike more fierce, and the Qi being used would then be visualized behind the strike.

Each time Raze struck his sword in a certain way, the mist in the air, along with his strike, was allowing him to produce frightening creatures out of his visual Qi.

What he was confused about though, was how the visual Qi, even though being used so far away, was still causing damage to Niang.

This was an answer that only Raze knew. It was because he was using magic as well. If he was just using visual Qi, it would lack power in the Nightmare Veil.

These creatures would only have a lingering Qi effect. Still, the idea behind the technique was to battle with the use of images.

It was in human nature to react to things they could see. It was hard for them to believe what they were seeing wasn't real. (f)reenovelkiss

In this sense though, the creatures weren't just made with visual Qi but magic as well. Giving them more bite when they were destroyed or when they would attack.

While using a psychological way of fighting, Raze was mixing in his own attacks.

"This is useless!" Niang said as the wound across his chest had completely healed. "These creatures may hurt others, but they can't harm me!"

Three beasts came at him at once, and Niang punched one right into the other with his Lethal Bite technique. They exploded part of the magic hitting their bodies, and coming right through the veil of beasts was Raze himself.

He swung his sword down striking from above. Niang managed to avoid this slightly, allowing for the sword to just go through his shoulder.

Rather than pulling out the sword, Raze had decided to do something else instead. He let go of the hilt and placed both hands on the floor.

In that moment, Ice magic had activated and held onto Niang's legs tightly. From above, more creatures had come to attack Niang that he hadn't dealt with yet.

Staying in place, he went to strike them all; in the meantime, Raze had pulled the sword out of Niang and close to him, started to strike again and again, cutting the outside of his body one after the other.

As Niang went to strike him, Raze lifted his sword up, cutting off his hands. At the end of the day, even though Raze was an initial stage warrior and Niang was a middle stage warrior.

Niang was a lower stage middle stage warrior, with a large lack of skill compared to others. The only thing he had going for him was the special sword in his body.

"Keep harming me; you know it will mean nothing. Even if you destroy my head, I will come back to life; even if you destroy my heart I will still come back!"

Niang's body was a wreck, his arms had been sliced off, and the Ice magic had continued to rise until it had reached his waist.

Now he was frozen in place full of cuts and wounds healing, as well as the sword in his stomach.

"If you try and touch that sword, it will explode and destroy you, but I will still live!" Niang said with a smile.

The words, it was unsure whether he was telling the truth or not, but Raze didn't care.

"I didn't plan to just kill you anyway; from the beginning, all I wanted to do was to get close to you because your power is going to become mine."

Raze said as he extended out his hand and grabbed the top of Niang's head.

'Let's see if the extraction technique will work with your healing powers.'
