Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 898 Two Miracles

Among Rayna and her group, which were trapped in the ice, there was one individual that could break out, and forcing his Qi into the ice, he already had. Someone who wasn't quite part of their group but had been observing the fight between Sha Mo and the Dark Magus, Raze. freewebnøvel.com

As the fireball was coming toward the group, shot by Raze himself, Lince had several quick thoughts running through his head.

'If I cover my body in Qi, most likely the fireball won't affect me too much,' Lince thought. 'I practically still have all my strength, but as for the rest, fighting Sha Mo has depleted most of their strength and Qi. They won't be able to escape and will be burnt just like the others.'

It was a decision Lince had to make because he knew he had the power to stop the fireball. To at least create a strike to slice it so they all came out unharmed, but what was his relation to these people?

They weren't part of his clan, they were merely allies of the Dark Magus, and after seeing what the Dark Magus was capable of, Lince hadn't made up his mind yet if it was good to try and work with him or against him.

'I also said that I wouldn't get involved in this fight between the two sides, but with Sha Mo defeated, it's quite clear that a winner has already been decided. This is just the aftermath of a battle.

'My involvement would only save lives.'

It was then that Lince made a decision. He reached behind his back, ready to pull out his weapon, but just as he did, he felt two strong forces of Qi moving from the side. They were incredibly strong and aimed right for the fireball.

Rayna was at the front of the group and would be the first to be hit. She went to reach for her weapon, even though she realized it would be useless, and that's when two tall men stepped in front of her.

One pulled out a flute and blew into it hard. As he did, the fire seemed to split and flick to their sides. Some of the flames from the fireball, after being split, looked to jump and were ready to still hit the group.

But the other man jumped and opened his gourd, and in doing so, the flames looked to enter the gourd completely, disappearing.

The attack had been completely stopped, and it had been done with techniques or artifacts they hadn't seen before.

"I'm… I'm alive!" Liam claimed. "Or, am I actually dead? Maybe this is what death is like—no pain."

Anna slapped Liam on the back of the head, resulting in a slight grunt from him. She could move now because the heat getting close to them had melted the ice, which went to show how strong the flames from the fireball were.

"Since you felt that, now you know you're not dead. But what I want to know is, who are those two?" Anna asked.

That was what most of those were wondering. In the middle of this Behemoth Clan, the only allies they had were those from the town of Flendon and the Crimson Crane, but these two were neither.

However, there were those that did recognize the two of them—Lince and Rayna.

Rayna quickly bowed her head to the two in front of her, clearly as a sign of respect.

"I welcome both of you, my brothers!" Rayna said.

"Brothers!" Mada said. "Rayna is part of the Neverfall Clan. Does that mean these two are those infamous brothers?"

"You're right," Mantis claimed. "The two swords of the Neverfall Clan. Belil himself never lifts a finger, but it's because of these two that the Neverfall Clan has such a large reputation."

"If they're here, does that mean they've been sent for support?" Ricktor asked.

"I'm not sure. The Demonic Clan doesn't really work that way. Rayna was married off to Raze, and this is her town. So they're treated like a separate clan. If the Neverfall Clan was going to get involved, they would have done so from the beginning."

This was why Rayna was on guard and extremely cautious, because she couldn't believe Belil, her father, would send her brothers.

"First, thank you both for stopping that attack," Rayna continued. "May I please know the reason you are here?"

"Well?" Fing, the shorter of the two brothers with the gourd, said, looking at the taller brother. "We were actually given orders by Father, so don't think this is something we chose to do."

Rayna looked at Han to explain.

"What Fing says is correct. We were ordered to protect you in this war if anything was to happen. We took those orders to heart, watched your fights, and everything that took place, and only got involved now that it seemed like your life was in danger."

Rayna was somewhat in disbelief. This was not the father she knew. It was breaking everything she knew about the man, which didn't seem like much to begin with.

"Honestly, we didn't think we were going to have to get involved at all," Fing said. "We were told not to help anyone else, not the Dark Magus or anyone. We assumed Sha Mo would have taken over this place, gotten rid of everyone. Then we would have just stopped them from taking you out."

Rayna was still in disbelief, but she knew her brothers wouldn't lie about this situation, and the fact that they hadn't bothered to even help Dame, who had been at the wall, showed the order was only to protect her.

Besides, her brothers, other than Dame, would never even bother to do such a thing.

In the middle of their conversation, several of the Behemoth Clan members could be seen retreating and running back. They had decided to give up on the fight, and with no Sha Mo to stop them, it appeared to be over.

Right at the very back of the large wasteland, though, the ground started to rumble, and appearing from the very edge, a large wall surrounded the place, further than their eyes could see.

The Behemoth Clan members had been blocked from their escape, and the person responsible was walking their way.

When Rayna looked through the crowd of people, she saw the old Raze's gaze, and she could almost see no life behind his eyes. It scared her, and for some reason, seeing him look like this was bringing pain to her heart.

It was then that Rayna decided to do something she never thought she would do in her lifetime.

"I have a favor to ask… can you stop him for me? Can you stop Raze—the Dark Magus?" Rayna asked.
