Chapter 435 We've Been Waiting For You
The link, the link that all of the mages were looking for and that Reno was trying to find, he felt like he was the only one who had figured it out so far.
'The ones that are being attacked are those that are aiming their spells at Raze who is still on the ground. Some might not have directly aimed it at him, but anything that seems to be going in his general direction or line of fire, they're getting killed.'
The force being used to do such a thing was immensely strong. Reno had felt it firsthand, but he was also wondering why he had been spared.
Was it because whoever was protecting Raze right now knew that they weren't enemies? If so, why not let him come close, or why give such a warning? And what was it about this mysterious voice that shook Reno to his very core.
As things continued, more mages were getting their heads twisted, blood appearing on their bodies, or being hit away.
As the mages were radically using more spells next to those that had died and were continuing to attack all of the warriors in sight, panic was setting in within the warriors.
"What is going on, why are our people getting hurt?" One of the squad leaders was also trying to observe the situation.
Before this, he was getting ready to deal with Alba. He still had the special coin in his hand, but now there was a bigger issue at hand.
And that's when he had a theory as well, something was clicking in his head.
'One of their people, he hasn't tried to go close to the body. Just before all of this happened, it looked like he was desperately trying to protect the white-haired kid on the floor.' The leader thought.
This was when another thought had occurred in his head as well. 'Now that I think about it, didn't that hybrid say something as well, to protect the White Dragon? Could he mean the person on the floor, is there something special about him.'
Through his observations, it didn't take long for him to figure out what was going on as well.
"Be careful with your attacks on the one on the floor!" the mage warned. "It seems like the unconscious one is involved."
The mages heard the word, and it spread to the others, but they couldn't quite believe it. That was until one of the mages wished to test the theory out by holding out their hand.
The moment they started to cast magic, their head was twisted, and they fell on the floor.
It appeared as if the death of the mages was getting faster as well. Since more people were trying to attack Raze.
"It's true, so what do we do then?" One of the mages asked.
"Maybe if we get closer we can do something!" One of the mages called out and rushed in.
As they did though, the same thing happened. They witnessed his head being twisted, and he soon fell on the floor.
Right after witnessing that, no one wanted to do a thing. They didn't want to try casting a spell near the body on the ground or move close to it, and they all took a step back.
"What is going on, is no one willing to attack?" Eston said, his voice trembling with anger. So much the magic from his glowing body pushed out again.
The mages close by had to use magic to protect themselves or lift their hands to stop the gust of sands from going into their eyes.
"Fine, if no one else can do it, then I guess I will just have to do it myself!" Eston said, as he raised his hand.
When he did, the magic continued to flow out from his body strongly, in all areas. The glow around him started to extend out, and he could see part of it flickering.
Almost as if areas of his aura were being hit, but nothing was getting to him.
"It looks like I'm too much for whatever this is, so let's kill the kid!" Eston said.
Right before the spell was unleashed, he felt something wrap around his hands and pull it to its side.
Right after that, a large fist came out, and a kick hit him right in the face.
The kick was filled with Qi, causing his body to skid and scrape across the floor. With his wind powers, he stabilized himself up and looked at who had just done the damage.
"You, are you still not dead yet!" Eston shouted.
Amir had come out from the hole that had been made for him. His body was reverting back to what it was. The hybrid parts of himself were going away, including his tentacle hand that he had just used.
Finally, all parts had disappeared, and it looked like all of the wounds that had been made on his body from the attacks before had disappeared as well.
"A hybrid's body is a lot more sturdy than you think, I will live from an attack like that." Amir commented.
Just as he finished his sentence though, Eston flicked his finger and a wind sword had gone right through his body from behind.
Blood was soaking him once again. It didn't take long for Amir to fall on his knees again.
"If I beat you when you were at your strongest, what makes you think that I can't just beat you, with the way you are now?" Eston said, as he prepared his hand again and faced it toward the man on the ground one more time.
However, this time, he was a bit stunned because he could see two people next to him.
Reno and Tilon had run over to Raze's side.
"Hey, I thought he was the cause of all this, how come we didn't get hit away like you did earlier?" Tilon asked.
"I could feel it when that guy used his powers. It seemed to suppress whatever it was that was helping him. We need to check if everything is fine with Raze and get him out of here!" Reno explained.
Reno went to pick up Raze; he wanted to grab him and tie him up before the others realized it was safe to attack him again.
When he went to touch his skin though, he could feel his fingers slipping slightly.
When looking at them, he noticed that there was a thin film; his thumb and tips were smudged in black.
"Is this residue from his body... the impurities," Reno commented.
"Impurities, wait if that's impurities from his body doesn't that mean?" Tilon looked at Raze's body on the floor.
While asleep, some crazy things were happening to this person but, how could that even be.
While looking at his own fingers, Reno noticed something else as well. Raze's finger, it was twitching.
It continued to twitch bit by bit, and a surge of Qi pulsed from his body again.
'This feeling, it was the same as I felt the first time when I came closer to Raze, this immense power.'
The pulsating continued like a heartbeat, a power surging through both Reno and Tilon.
'I thought it was that mysterious being from before, but what if that power I felt before... it was actually Raze!' Reno thought.
And that's when he could see it, a small smile appeared on his face.
"It took you long enough… you've caused us a lot of trouble while you were asleep."
