Dark Magus Returns

Alba’s two blades were impressive, especially in the looks department, allowing them to catch attention from almost anywhere in the battlefield. The base of the weapon, as well as the weapon itself, was primarily black, while the edge of the weapon shined gold.

It was a unique look to a sword, and perhaps compared to all of the other weapons, it had the largest marking of DM on them. She slashed through several golems as she performed a tornado of Qi attacks.

Slicing a group of them around her, as she slashed through one, on the side of the weapon, the markings of DM could clearly be seen.

"The leader of the Crimson Crane… she’s more fluid compared to the other members, that’s for sure," the Demonic Faction warriors who were fighting against the golems themselves had mentioned.

When Alba was fighting, it seemed like she knew perfectly where everything was on the battlefield. She could attack behind her and then move position to where she was in a better place to deal with the higher numbers.

There were even times where she had thrown one of her swords, hitting a golem, almost killing another member. This was in the middle of her own fight. Then right after, she was still able to swing and hack her way until she had retrieved her sword once again.

The Demonic Faction were paying close attention to the Crimson Crane for good reason. They believed that it was the bulk of the force that Raze had used to be able to get to the position that he was in today.

After seeing what their items and skills could do, this thought stayed true in their mind. Seeing all of the special powers, they wondered what could Alba do. As leader of the Crimson Crane, surely the items or the things she could do was no less.

However, as they watched her fight, although impressive, they saw nothing different or out of the ordinary. She was fighting just how other clan leaders would fight. In some ways, it was less impressive as she didn’t really have any special arts or techniques that she would use that only belonged to her clan.

As Alba continued to attack around her, she started to think about when the weapons were handed to her, and what was said by Raze.

’I wonder… if I should have just given these things back, or asked if someone else would have wanted them,’ Alba thought. ’I’m sure there are a lot of people out there that would happily use them… but for me, there’s just an unsettling feeling.’

’I still took them, because if our enemy got their hands on these things, then it would be… troublesome, incredibly troublesome to deal with,’ Alba thought.

She leapt up from her position and stabbed the golem with both of her swords right in the chest, and then spun behind her, dealing with another one. She felt like these creatures were endless and was really hoping they could find the person responsible, and if not them, then someone else in this group.

Surely with them clearing all of the golems, someone could find the person responsible for this.

A thought had crossed her mind, of maybe using the power of her dual weapons, but she shook it off.

The power of the swords were extraordinary. Raze stated that the swords could be activated in a certain way, and if done so, then it would double the wielder’s power. This meant speed, strength, stamina, everything about the person.

The stronger the person was, the more of an effect it would have. The power increase though, was limited to five minutes. Which usually would be enough time to end a fight at least. What was even more significant about it was that the effect could be used twice.

It meant one’s strength would double, and then double again. It suited Alba’s style of fighting in many ways. When fighting against a large number of opponents like this, it was practically useless unless she wanted to get rid of everyone quickly.

So why wouldn’t she use such a powerful ability of the weapons now? First, it was because such an effect could only be used once a day. Technically, she could use the ability of the weapons twice.

The ability came from each weapon, so she could either power herself for five minutes, and then power herself again later in the day for another five minutes. Or she could use both of them at the same time, in order to double the effect.

The weapons were impressive and strong themselves, so there was no need to right now, but the main reason right now was due to the curse the weapon held.

’Each time the user will use it, they will lose something… what does that even mean… what… will I lose?’

Due to the curse itself not being clear, Alba didn’t even want to test it, yet she reluctantly had done with the others. She needed to know just how strong the weapon would be to use it in battle. After using it though, she had no clue what she had lost.

She tried to check everything she could, but she had no idea what had been lost. Because of this, it made her even more fearful of what could happen, and Raze had given her next to no guidance. So for now, the best thing to do in her mind was to never use the ability of the swords unless it came down to her losing her life.

’There’s a lot of people here, so I doubt that I’ll have to use it.’

The moment Alba thought of those words, she could feel something, a trembling Qi that was coming from her side. It felt familiar yet different at the same time. When she turned to look, walking through the golems, she could see a female wearing dark-colored cloth.

She had presumed she was female due to her body structure and shape. By her side, she held onto a sword, but the reason Alba couldn’t tell for sure was because she had a full-on helmet that covered her face completely.

The presence of this single person among the golems had caught the attention of everyone, including Rayna.

"That’s… the woman with the iron helmet… it’s another Deleter… they sent three Deleters!" Rayna said.
