Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 1248: Heino Vs Dark Magus (Part 2)
"You think I didn't notice?" Raze said before he approached Heino again. After capturing him and letting him slip through his fingers, he realized he needed to think a bit more about the best way to get him.
Right now, Heino was on the back foot as well, unable to even harm Raze with the magic he was currently using, but the entire time, Raze had also been cautious about something else.
"What, you think you have me all figured out?" Heino said as he continued to play with the ring on his finger with his other fingers.
"You should know, you're fighting against a mage now," Raze answered. "Not just any mage, but one of the top Mages, a nine-star mage. I could tell that nearly every accessory item you have on your body is an enchanted item.
Your earrings, the chain around your neck, what you're wearing on your bracelet, and the rings around your fingers. It might just look like useless decorations to some, but for someone who has been part of Alter for an incredibly long time, it's expected for you to have some items kept to yourself, right?"
Heino just laughed as he pulled on both of the earrings by his head. He placed them in his hand, and they started to form into an item that was somewhat familiar to him recently.
They looked like the items that Harvey had given Raze at one point, and the same weapons that Scar had used as well. The objects that were known as guns.
"Maybe my time spears could do nothing, but these are a bit different. They turn my time Mana into fairly large explosions, and I would like to see how long your special blazer can last against this!" Heino pulled the trigger.
Small forms of Mana came out right in front of Raze. He wanted to use his weapon to try to attack it, but before it could, a large explosion had gone off right in front of Raze's face. It was powerful, and it was one created with Mana.
Breaking through the smoke, Raze was seen with the sword in hand, using lightning to electrify his boots once more. He was seen chasing after Heino, and while Heino was moving backwards, he continuously fired out explosion after explosion his way.
They were all hitting Raze, and it was hard to tell if they were affecting him or not.
Then, right out of the smoke, a large strike came, breaking through it and heading straight for Raze.
Heino shot at the attack, and it had frozen, staying still in place, just like when Heino used his hand.
"These bullets can do more than you think…they can take the properties of the magic that I put into them as well. The only downside is, they use a high amount of mana!"
Heino continued to fire away, and the explosions were powerful. It had highly condensed magic; Raze could feel that, and he was getting hurt.
When Raze had upgraded his blazer, its properties had changed somewhat. The old blazer had given him a protective barrier and helped heal his body slowly.
His body was still able to heal, but the protective barrier disappeared. Instead, small particles of dark magic from the blazer would hit the magic. This was why certain attacks disintegrated before they even reached him.
In some cases, it was a better barrier but wasn't directly a barrier. If a strong enough attack was cast, like the explosive bullets being used now, then it would only get rid of some of the attack, while other parts of it would affect Raze.
Thankfully, he wasn't just a mage like before, and his body was sturdy, but as the attacks hit him more and more, he could feel it building up.
Even with Raze moving as fast as he did, he was still getting hit.
Then he noticed Heino just disappear again. This time, Raze wasn't close enough to him for the effect to make it so he also vanished with Heino, but he had reappeared in a completely different spot.
The bullets then came from another location, and with one hand, Raze lifted up several earth walls to block the bullets. He continued to do this to at least stop getting hit for a moment while he had time to think.
'This fight, it's taking longer than I thought it would. I keep thinking about Enaxx in the back of my mind,' Raze thought. 'Why did he use that power now? I can gather he's reversed time; he did that to heal himself from his injuries, but why use that now?
Is it because of what he said before? Do the guns really use a high amount of magic? If that's the case, does his time reversal also reverse the mana he uses? That would also mean if he got his mana back, he could use these items as much as he wanted; it would be no problem for him at all?'
Regardless of all of that, Raze had to think of a way he could beat Enaxx, and there were a few options at his disposal. Due to the effects of Heino's gun freeze, the Dark Edge sword arts were mostly useless.
The attacks could be stopped even before reaching him, and the Dark Edge sword arts weren't the quickest moves to pull off either. Then there was another option.
'There's the power of the blazer I could use. I was saving it for when I go up against Enaxx though, and there is also a risk with the curse that takes place…it could have the complete opposite effect if I'm not careful, but more than anything…'
Raze started to think of the time magic that Heino was using. If it was able to reverse time and allow a person to get their mana back, would it reverse everything? Including the effects of a curse?
"If that is the case, then I need to get it for myself," Raze said with a smile.
