Chapter 741: Your Not The Only One That's Special
The onlookers in the area were stunned by what they had seen. A large display of magical abilities. Two powerful people were fighting. Perhaps they should have been somewhat afraid of what they had seen; instead, they took in the beauty of magic that day.
The Crimson Crane, along with many others, had seen magic before. They had nearly all gone up against mages and fought against them, so they had an idea of what one with magical powers could do.
However, it was the first time they had witnessed it on such a large scale. The number of spells that had been used, including the large variety of spells as well.
Seeing Raze fight like this, they were getting an inkling of the power he had. Just before, he had used devastating Pagna skills and now had used large-scale magic as well.
"I knew I was right about him," Alba said. "He is the one that's going to change the entirety of the Crimson Crane, and the whole world is going to know about it."
Many seeing Raze thought the same thing, but Ricar, who was watching from above, was deeply concerned.
"From the look on their faces, they're satisfied by that performance, but that won't be enough to take out the red Hybrid!" Ricar claimed.
The others didn't notice it, but Raze did. In the large iceberg that had been created, something was happening. Raze quickly placed both of his hands on the floor.
"Uplifting wind!" Magic swirled out of his palms and spread out to the arena. The next moment, everyone felt themselves being lifted up from the ground.
They were pushed up from the floor and could see the arena floor several meters below.
"Did Raze just use his magic on us?" Simyon asked.
"Just trust him, he wouldn't have done this for no reason!" Safa called out, still floating in the air.
It was Amir who noticed the cracks that were forming in the giant iceberg.
"No, you fool!" Amir shouted. "Focus on the fight, don't focus on us!"
The ice had broken apart, and strange hardened red crystal could be seen cracking right through it. From all sides, right through the ice, the red crystal had expanded out like a large spider web going across the arena.
"Great push!" Raze called out, and wind swirled in a particular direction, grabbing all of those in the air. It then pushed them off until the group of people ended up crashing into the stands.
Some of them had ended up in awkward positions, with their heads touching seats, bodies entangled with each other.
"Could have moved us a bit softer," Tilon said.
As the group started to get up, they quickly realized why Raze had done what he had done. Looking down at the arena floor itself, it was covered in the strange red crystallization.
It really did look like a giant spider web that had managed to wiggle itself into the walls of the arena, stuck in place, piercing through it.
"We would have all been killed on the spot if Raze didn't do that," Alba exclaimed.
"But look!" Rayna called out. "Because of us, because we were in the way, look what's happened!"
She pointed down to the ground, and she could see Raze himself had been pierced in several places by the red crystal. Some of the crystal that had aimed for his head and heart had broken because he had managed to summon his Dark magic in time to protect himself, but blood was still dripping from the crystal that had pierced his thighs and other areas.
'That attack broke through the barrier of the Blazer... The Blazer did its best to block it, but it's not so good against physical attacks like this,' Raze thought.
Amir had already predicted that this was going to happen when he saw Raze make the first move.
"I thought he was someone that didn't care about others, a person that was determined to accomplish his goal, so why did he go out of his way? Now that he's injured, his chances of winning this fight have greatly lessened," Amir said.
Dame stood up next to him, wincing as his body was in great pain, and checked to his side that Mantis had even been taken out of the arena.
"I don't understand that guy too much myself sometimes, but as you said, I don't think he's the type of person who would put himself in a worse position. If he saved us, then he did it for one of two reasons: because he wanted us out of his way so he could focus on the fight or because even with helping us out, he's still confident he can win this fight!" Dame asked.
Amir could feel the confidence Dame had in his fellow partner, but none of them knew the exact strength of the red Hybrid. The fact was, Raze had managed to pierce a hole right through his heart, and somehow he was still alive.
"Haha!" Murkel laughed, both of his hands open wide. He started to retract the red crystal spread in the arena back to his body, leaving what was in Raze inside of him. As for the hole that was in his chest, it was no longer visible, only a mark on his clothing.
"It took all three factions' strongest to try and take me out, and they still weren't able to finish the job," Murkel said. "Do you really think a single warrior like you can face me?"
Moving his hands, Raze started to gather the Dark magic around himself, in particular, the pierced parts of his body with the red crystal. It disintegrated the crystal, eventually smashing it and causing shards to fall to the floor.
Still, from the wounds on his body, blood was falling onto the floor.
"Didn't you hear me before?" Raze said. "I'm not a warrior, so stop putting those standards on me."
"Ah yes, those strange powers of yours. It might be you're not a being from Pagna after all, maybe from a dimension where civilization still exists, maybe even a lost one, the sole survivor," Murkel said.
"Close enough," Raze replied as he stood up strong. Placing his hand out to the side, the Ghost blade appeared in one hand. Then, when Raze went and placed his other hand to the side, a large white glowing sword appeared, shining with power. The Lux Sword had appeared.
As he held it in his hand, the effect of the Lux Sword and Blazer got to work, and the wounds on his body were visibly starting to heal.
"You're not the only one that can do some bullshit type of healing," Raze claimed, holding up the Lux Sword.
