Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 888 A Smaller Faster Body

There were a few reasons why Raze had chosen the Lightning element to support the technique he was currently using. One of them was that the Lightning attribute was perhaps the fastest casting magic, second only to Wind magic.

It was more explosive, but because of that, it was harder to control. There were added benefits to using Lightning magic though, such as its range, allowing it to hit those around the attack.

In this case, Raze wanted its explosive power and speed, and using it along with a small amount of his Qi meant that he could use the technique many, many times.

Raze held the sword with both hands once again, and a loud bang was heard. Raze had disappeared from Sha Mo's sight.

He heard the sound of thunder and turned his head, only seeing part of Raze, and before he knew it, Raze was upon him once again. This time the sword struck up his forearm, leaving a large cut.

Sha Mo went to swing his fist at where Raze was, but he quickly disappeared. However, the others could see that the strike of lightning had occurred directly behind Sha Mo.

Raze, lifting the sword above his head, struck down, delivering a larger cut right across his back. He disappeared again and constantly moved at all angles around Sha Mo.

"How… is he able to move so much and use that technique over and over?" Rayna said in amazement.

The swordsmanship and technique she saw were enough to rival the footwork used in the Lost Clan from the Demonic Faction.

Lince, who was watching, was amazed as well, but didn't speak much about it. He could tell the special trait was the strange lightning power being used.

Sha Mo, standing in the center, looked lost as he wildly swung his arms, trying to hit Raze. With each hit, large amounts of Qi would be sent out, and the pressure from the punch would hit the sides of the crater they were in.

It would shake the ground where the others were watching from. Sha Mo was still very much a giant, and a single hit could possibly end Raze.

"Have you noticed something?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, Raze is kicking Sha Mo's arse!" Liam cheered.

"Are you not using your system?" Anna asked.

Liam continued to watch. The system was always active, but he couldn't see anything strange—that was until Liam noticed one bit of information that was changing.

'I can see what Anna is seeing, but does that matter? Isn't it because he's getting weaker?'

As Liam continued to watch the fight and saw Sha Mo miss more and more, he realized, as did Anna, that it wasn't the case at all.

"How is he getting faster as well?"

"What do you mean?" Simyon asked, turning to Liam.

"Sha Mo… he's moving faster. I know it's not enough to catch Raze, but he keeps moving faster. And the strange thing is, Sha Mo's size—it's getting smaller as well!" Liam claimed.

Now that Liam mentioned it, although Sha Mo was still large, they could see him getting smaller and smaller.

If he was just reverting to his old size, it wouldn't mean much. The large explosion of Qi was due to Sha Mo growing in size.

From what they were seeing though, although Sha Mo was getting smaller, his power remained the same. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Raze was aware of this as well, but he was counting on one more thing to work. The number of cuts all over Sha Mo's body made it look like he had been placed in a blender.

It was then that Raze struck across his chest with the sword, and the edge started to spark. All of the cuts on Sha Mo's body began to light up slightly, and Sha Mo's entire body became electrified.

Blue lightning was coming off his body, and his muscles appeared to be twitching, no longer listening to him.

"All of the attacks—the buildup of the power from that weapon he has in his hand—he's paralyzed! Now's his chance!" Lince exclaimed.

It was true, and quickly, Raze had changed the weapon in his hand back to the Ghost blade as he got into position. The paralysis was only a temporary thing, giving him a few seconds, but it would be enough time.

The Qi and Dark magic formed around the hilt of his sword, and Raze lunged forward.

"Void Pulse Formation!"

The edge of the sword hit Sha Mo right in the center, and a gathering of Qi occurred. It looked like the sword was trying to pierce through some type of Qi barrier, eventually breaking through, and Sha Mo's body was flung to the other side.

This time, it was Sha Mo's body that went flying and crashing into the side of the wall, kicking up dust all over.

Raze was breathing deeply in and out. He was tired; the fast footwork had messed up his breathing, so he could only use it for so long. He had used up a considerable amount of Mana and Qi performing those strikes.

Still, Raze had a feeling this wouldn't be the end of Sha Mo.

"Argh!" Raze felt a sharp shooting pain around his heart and placed his hand over it.

'My Mana core… it's acting up again. Is it really trying to go to the next star right now? It's not like I can just take a break from this fight and upgrade my Mana core!'

What was more worrying was that it was causing Raze's magic to flicker as he felt his Mana moving toward his Mana core rather than where he needed it.

"Ha, ha, ha!" Sha Mo's loud voice was heard, and when the dust settled, his body looked different—extremely different from before.

He was no longer a literal giant, nor the giant that everyone was familiar with. Nearly all of his body mass had gone away.

His body was thin in the center of his stomach, his waist small. While still around seven feet tall, his limbs remained quite large.

It was the smallest anyone had seen Sha Mo before, yet the cuts were still prevalent, and blood was pouring from his mouth.

"It's been a long time since I've needed to do this, and a long time since I've spilled blood like this," Sha Mo claimed.

Raze continued to rub his hand over his chest. It was quite possible that right now, he was at his weakest while Sha Mo was at his strongest.

'He's strong… he's really strong,' a familiar voice sounded in his head. 'If you want to win this fight, you're going to have to use me…' the Bloody Woman said.
