Dark Magus Returns - Chapter 857: Flendon Falls

With the fear of Sha Mo behind the Behemoth Clan, they were back to charging in full force. They ran over the dead that had accumulated without even checking on the ones that might have been injured or still alive.

This was because Sha Mo wanted results; they all knew that, and they weren’t going to disappoint. This was also a chance for them, getting on his good side, rising in the clan, and unlocking more techniques.

The arrows continued to rain down on them, hitting their target, but at the end of the day, these were skilled Pagna warriors. Many of them were able to avoid the arrows or perform techniques that would equal the power that was being used.

“Alright everyone!” Alba shouted. “Prepare your positions, Tilon!”

Immediately, Tilon had jumped from his shield bearers and had come over to Alba’s side. She had drawn both of her dual weapons, which were glowing red.

Then took one step swinging both of her weapons using the full extent of her Qi, bashing it right into the shield.

“Now, go for it!” Alba said.

Tilon charged forward. He burst with a large amount of speed. Just then, he was ready to reach the first line of those attacking, and when he arrived, he slammed his shield into the ground.

“Barrier burst!” Tilon shouted, planting his shield in the ground.

At that moment, a giant force field had appeared across the field. It had hit those running at full force, and they had somewhat crashed into it.

Since the charge of the shield was fairly low, it didn’t push them back too far, but it was another unexpected occurrence for the warriors.

‘The shield can hold energy from anything that attacks it; it doesn’t just have to be enemies!’ Tilon smiled. ‘It’s time to show why the Crimson Crane work so well despite having so few members.’

Due to the strange shield having pushed them, some of the warriors thought there was still a shield in front of them. That’s when Lily, with her spear users along with Kizer, had both arrived.

Kizer swung his sword, and a large beam of energy went out, flinging around twenty men in the air, sending them back.

Lily wasn’t so far behind as she had come forward with her spear users, just running in to stab the enemy. Many of the men were untrained, but there was one thing they were able to do.

That was put their hope in the Crimson Crane. Right now, they were following their orders blindly, and in doing so, they were able to have quite a bit of success.

“Don’t forget about the rest of us,” Reno said as he avoided a sword strike and grabbed a warrior, placing his palm over their mouth.

A moment later, and the complexion of their skin started to change.

“It’s down to you,” Reno claimed.

Cronker came running out, sprinting, and grabbed hold of the body. He then ran forward, directly into the center of the army.

Using his foot techniques, he was avoiding them, and when he reached a good distance inside, he placed the body on the ground and got out of there as soon as possible.

The dead body on the ground exploded, and gasses started to come out from the body. This was all thanks to Reno’s special poison arts.

Now those next to the body were starting to feel weak. Their eyesight blurry.

Concentrating on this side, Alba and another group of swordsmen rushed in. Alba swiftly struck only the vitals as she slashed a neck.

Moving to the other, she stabbed a person in the heart, before pulling both of her blades out and kicking another across the battleground.

Off on the other side, Kizer, with his special Dark Magus weapon, swung his sword over his head, causing another large attack that wiped out around a hundred people in a single swing.

The effect of the weapon grew stronger with the amount of people, and this was the most amount of people that Kizer had ever gone up against before.

Lince, who was amongst those shooting arrows, couldn’t believe it. He was sure of it before, that the town of Flendon had no hope of winning, yet he was seeing a crazy amount of destruction happening and coordination.

‘I am ashamed to call myself an information gatherer,’ Lince thought. ‘What I am seeing now, their powers are beyond what I expected.’

‘Even in a large-scale battle, even though they are a small clan, they operate better than a large clan would. Their strength is much higher than I thought, and the weapons they are using.’

‘Is all of this because of the influence of the Dark Magus?’

Although what Lince was seeing on the battlefield was short of a miracle, still with everything happening, he was sure the fight still wouldn’t go to the town of Flendon.

Eventually, their Qi would dwindle among the large numbers, and there was also Sha Mo, and the two Pillars left in the fight.

As soon as they got involved, the formation and the ones the guards believed in would all crumble in a moment.

‘It is still a valiant effort,’ Lince thought.

Sha Mo, taking a back step, was observing the whole battlefield. He could feel it, little flames that were erupting in several different places.

Flames that needed to be extinguished, or they would burn the whole field, they might even end up reaching him.

‘Which ones though, which ones need to be extinguished first?’ Sha Mo thought.

“Kilper, go take out the man with the giant orange sword. He is doing the most damage to our front line,” Sha Mo said.

Kilper, another tall warrior by normal standards but not as long-bodied as Umonke or as large as Sha Mo, wielded a strange weapon.

Which held two large giant swords stuck together by a chain in the center.

“As for you, Umonke, deal with their leader, that will take some morale down. As for myself, I will go for that one with the shield. If I destroy that thing with my own hands, we will witness the entire wall of this town fall at the same time,” Sha Mo exclaimed.
