Chapter 770: Take Over The Dark Faction
After the two displays of strength and a bit of confident showmanship from the rest of the group, Olag decided there was no reason to test any more of them. If a random person who looked like a freak in his eyes and a puny student were this strong, then there was no need to see the rest.
He was disappointed, though a grin remained on his face throughout the day. A change was coming, he could feel it, and the Bonum Society would be at the start of it-something they had been trying to achieve for years was finally coming true.
Several members of the Bonum Society had come out, and they had been formed into
different squads of ten. They had used the training room to gather as it was the largest room they had.
Then Dark Magus’s allies were also split among the groups. Finally, Amir came out, looking at everyone set up nicely.
“I knew it would be easy for you to win Olag over. I thought it was better that you guys just got it over and done with, and in the meantime, I have been doing something else.” Amir was holding a bunch of scrolls underneath his arm.
He started to call over members from each of the groups that had lined up and handed them a scroll each. Eventually, all of them were taken away.
“I have been compiling all of the information of our society’s network. Everything that we have to do with the Dark Faction and their clans over the years!” Amir announced. “What I have handed out is the target that each of your groups must head to.”
“As I said before, we are going to do this quick and fast. The Dark Faction will be taken over, each clan under the control of us all at once. They won’t see it coming, and they won’t have time to communicate with others to form a plan.”
“The Dark Faction is already in disarray after what has occurred with Murkel and those he brought, so we need to take advantage of it.”
Simyon looked at the scroll handed to his group. They were to head to the Moon Shield Clan, with him in his group being Bargo, the vice leader of the Moon Shield Clan.
Admittedly, he was a bit confused as to why he was heading to this clan and working with Bargo rather than with Safa and Liam, who had been with him for a long time.
“I will tell you the reasoning behind my choices,” Amir said. “In all of these clans, there are several things that we can gain. Firstly is their knowledge. These clans have been part of the Dark Faction for a long time and have perfected their techniques.”
“Learning their information, their powers, getting your hands on what they have, I believe will be able to help you all progress on your journey. On top of that, many of the clans have ancient artifacts.”
“Some they have gathered from other dimensions, others that have been handed down from generation to generation. Now is not the time for them to be just hung up as ornaments or for the power to be kept within the clan for fear that it might disappear one day.”
“I want you to take over the clans and, in turn, take these artifacts for yourselves. The information we have on these artifacts, from my research, I have lined them up to suit your needs to help you grow even stronger.”
“Once we have control of it all, we won’t stop there. We will freely use the resources they have gathered and share them amongst each other.”
“I don’t plan to continue to make the clans stronger or to help out the Bonum Society, but instead, I have decided to bet everything on you.”
“The Bonum Society has existed for many years, and we have failed at our task. Yet you have all grown so fast and so strong, and I think you all need to continue on that trajectory. I will be putting all the resources into making all of you the core strength of the Dark Faction!”
Some of the Bonum Society members looked at each other. They didn’t know this was what Amir was planning. They had no idea. They knew they were to help the strangers that had come, but they thought this was a bit much.
However, Olag stood there in support of Amir, and as long as those two seemed to be on board with the idea, the Bonum Society believed this would be best for them all.
“I want you all to understand, with what has happened out there, there is now a high chance of two things. The Light Faction coming and attacking, and Alter coming to get rid of us all.”
“In that case, we need to make the faction as strong as possible, and I am betting on these people who managed to get rid of the old Dark Faction. If they can do that, then surely they can protect us from the Light Faction and Alter.”
The Bonum Society members started to cheer and bowed their heads to those part of Raze’s group. It was strange, many of them felt like they had just gained a small army to use at their disposal.
Some of them were worried about the clans they would have to face alone, such as Mada. Even though two of the Flowing Force Clan’s strongest had been defeated, there were still many strong members, such as his brother, and he was unsure what the result would be.
“All of you head off. If my guess is right, then in a week’s time, Raze will be awake. Have the Dark Faction ready for him,” Amir announced.
Everyone had set off to the corners of the Dark Faction, and soon five days had gone past. Two people were placed in the same room, waiting for them to wake up.
They were sitting side by side, and soon one had opened their eyes. Lifting up their body off the table.
“Where am I?” Mantis said, touching his face, and when he looked to his side, he could see Raze there.
Chapter 771: Wake Up Dark Mage
The Bonum Society was a safe place. No one other than its members knew about its
whereabouts, and they managed to keep it hidden from the Dark Faction as well as Alter for many years.
It was why they were so confident in leaving both Mantis and Raze alone in the same room. After all, the entire group were part of Raze’s allies. They would send people to check on the two regularly to see if they were awake or not.
The issue was, with no signs of either waking, the Bonum Society members were slacking, doing fewer checks and even just peeping their heads through the door to see if there were any signs of new life.
That was when Mantis had finally woken up, his eyes wide open, and placed both hands at the side of his head. His heart was racing.
“What… what happened? My body, I turned into… I was a beast,” Mantis said to himself. “The Martial Arts Tournament, it was going on, and then… then… then what happened?”
Mantis was unable to recall any memories past the match he had. What was the outcome of it, and who was the winner? Most importantly, why was he even in the place where he was currently?
“I don’t recognize anything. I’m not back at the Clan. Did the Light Faction capture me, or was it the Dark Faction?” Looking to his right, there was a curtain hanging. He could see a light source above, allowing him to see a figure lying on a table next to him.
Pulling it back, he was surprised to see what his eyes were looking at.
“That’s… that’s… Raze, from the Crimson Crane. He was in the tournament with me. Why is he passed out as well, and on the table… was he the one that brought me here?”
Mantis could make no sense of what had occurred, he could make no sense of how things came to be the way they were, but as he thought about it more, why would the person who had taken him captive also take Raze along with him?
“We’re both from the Demonic Faction. I doubt he has anything to do with it,” Mantis thought as he got down from his table and started to walk closer to Raze. As he looked at him, he remembered everything he saw Raze do at the tournament.
“He’s so strong… I was the highest-ranking student at the academy, and then he came out of nowhere.” Mantis started to look at Raze’s throat, seeing what a vulnerable state he currently was in just lying there.
“If he didn’t exist, then I would still be the number one ranking student,” Mantis thought as he moved in closer, his hands drawing closer to Raze.
As they did, he could feel something-a tingle going all over his body. It was as if they were passing through a force field, the hairs on his forearms were starting to stand up.
The further he pushed his hands forward, the more he had this strange feeling hanging over him. He felt like there was a knife being pressed up against his throat.
“Hey!” Mantis said as he grabbed onto Raze’s arm. “Wake up, wake up, something is going on here.”
Mantis proceeded to shake Raze’s arm and then felt slight movement. Immediately as he did, he pulled away, no longer touching Raze. Slowly, he could see the body start to move, and then Raze’s eyes opened up.
Raze stayed there lying on the table, staring at the ceiling for a moment. He looked at its metallic shape, the material quite strange; he had rarely seen it in the world of Pagna.
“Am I back in Alterian? Did I die again?” Raze said as he lifted his body.
“Die again?” He heard a voice repeat to his side.
Turning his head, Raze looked at the student, seeing his bare chest with a claw mark scratched right across it.
“I mean, it feels like I’ve been brought back to life,” Raze replied.
He recognized the student-the one known as Mantis, who had the nickname of the Black Tiger. An extremely talented student, Raze thought, especially when it came to Pagna-like skills.
Before, he was extremely confident and cocky, but when Raze looked at him now, it didn’t feel that way. The truth was, Mantis, until a moment ago, still felt like his throat was ready to be cut at any moment. Only when Raze woke up had that feeling gone. Still shocked by it, he hadn’t had time to get his demeanor back.
“Where are we?” Raze asked as he got off the table. His head was a little sore, and he still felt slightly light-headed. He wobbled for a moment and then placed his hand on the back of the table to keep himself standing.
Raze himself started to think about what had occurred. He remembered the last moments, of the Divine being taking over his body, facing off against Murkel, and finally looking at Safa with hopes that she would use the Lux Sword on him to help him recover.
“I guess I didn’t pass, but I would have thought we would have either been placed somewhere
in the Demonic Faction or the Dark Faction,” Raze said.
“There is also a chance that we were caught. This whole place is made of a type of iron,” Mantis said.
The two of them walked out from their rooms and could see the vast size of the location they were in. The iron used was incredibly thick, either designed to keep people in or keep people
out.
“If I were to take a guess, we must have been captured by the Light Faction,” Mantis claimed.
In Raze’s mind, that was most likely. Everyone was severely injured, and it took them a long time to deal with Murkel. With the number of artifacts they had, it was the most likely.
“Well, if we’re captured, I guess we have no choice but to break out of this place.”
Chapter 772: A Breakout
Mantis would have never expected this: that he would be working side by side with Raze in trying to break out of a facility they were captured in by the Light Faction. He could see Raze doing something as he placed both of his hands on the ground.
“I just had a thought,” Mantis said. “Why did they just capture us and not the others, and what’s even happened to the others?”
Raze had already thought about this, considering a large number of different things. He was hoping they had all managed to escape, leaving behind the two people that weren’t able to fend for themselves.
As for a reason why they might still be alive, both Mantis and Raze had shown extraordinary abilities. Mantis with his body being partly a beast and a Hybrid, and then there was Raze and his magic.
‘My magic and Qi, it’s all returned even if my head still isn’t a hundred percent in the right place,’ Raze thought. ‘But the Light Faction, taking me to their center, if this is their facility, then it might be a chance to learn something.’
After a short while, Raze lifted his hands off the ground.
“I can’t sense any other magic,” Raze said, not even bothering to hide his words anymore in front of Mantis. “Which means that Safa isn’t here.”
“Safa?” Mantis replied back, somewhat remembering that was the name of one of the contestants.
“It also means I can rule out that it was Alter that captured us,” Raze continued.
“Alter?” Mantis repeated again, hearing phrases he didn’t understand.
“What I do know, though, is there are a lot of people out there, and I’m telling you now, I don’t mind you coming with me, but I’m not going to look after you,” Raze stated.
“Ha, like I needed any help from you,” Mantis replied as he watched Raze heading to the solid metal door.
Raze placed one hand on the metal door, and it started to freeze over. After that, he gathered Qi in his fist and threw out a punch. As it hit the door, it smashed it into pieces that went flying into the hallway.
“How are you even able to do these things?” Mantis said out loud when he wanted to say it in his head, and it was the same as the next line that came out of his mouth. “It’s not fair.”
“You’re right,” Raze said, stepping into the hallway. “If it will give you some peace, it’s because I’m from another world.”
Mantis didn’t know what to do apart from just laugh at the situation. Raze started to make his way through the tunnels, hoping that he would eventually come across something that would be of use to him.
As they continued to rush through, they could see a person up ahead, walking through.
Before Raze could even act, he saw something come right past him. Mantis had leapt through the air at great speed and grabbed onto the other person’s face, slamming it onto the floor, knocking the man out or possibly even killing him.
“We’re both breaking out of this place, and immediately I might need your help, so I can’t just leave it all to you,” Mantis said.
Raze nodded. He appreciated someone like this. Someone that didn’t just come along for the free ride. Even if they felt like they were weaker, they still tried to help in their own way.
The two of them continued to run, and Mantis couldn’t help but look at his own hand and think about what had just occurred.
‘I was only meaning to run, but then my whole body leapt across the room, and the power I could feel. I didn’t even put much Qi into my attacks. My whole body, it feels like it’s changed, like it’s evolved,’ Mantis thought.
Up ahead, just before they turned a corner, Raze placed both hands on the ground, and an ice trail appeared, freezing the man completely around the corner, and the two of them continued to move.
“Hey, aren’t you going to finish them off?” Mantis asked.
“It will only slow us down. I plan to cause a big mess in this place anyway. Usually, if there is something to hide in the facility, then it’s the place with the most people. So we need to save our strength for that. Come on, let’s go,” Raze said as he continued through the hallways, unknown to him, heading for the training center.
Where there were large groups of hybrids practicing.
While in the hallways, other members of the Bonum Society were just making their way when they spotted the man passed out on the floor. The member quickly rushed over, turning him around to see his face bloody and broken from being slammed onto the floor.
“What is this? Who would just attack someone like this?” the member said, calling Fanum
over.
“I just got a report that another one of our men was attacked as well,” Fanum said. “It looks like someone’s infiltrated the base. We need to inform everyone immediately of what’s happening.”
The Bonum Society members were now on high alert, sure that an intruder had come into their base, and the information had eventually got passed to Olag, who was playing cards with a bunch of other members in one of the break rooms.
“For f*ck’s sake, why does this crap always have to happen when it’s just me here?” Olag said, standing up and starting to bark orders at the others.
“I can’t believe this type of stuff always seems to happen when Amir has to be away,” Olag thought to himself.
He started to look at the information and listen to the new reports that were coming in on a little square device by his side. It had a little tuner used, and the voices of the others would come in to him.
“Hey, what’s this?” Olag said with a smile. “From the sounds of it, they’re heading right for the training room. Let’s give these guys a nice little surprise, yeah. Everyone, let’s go!”
Chapter 773: Break The Door
Olag had grabbed the senior members of the Bonum Society, and they were currently running through the grand hallways of the facility. The facility was extremely large, but thankfully with most of them being Pagna warriors and Hybrid beasts, their physical abilities meant that they could travel quite the distance.
“Olag, why are we going this way? Isn’t it quicker to go through the west entrance? We were right there,” one of the members asked.
“Because we don’t know how large or what number of attackers there even are,” Olag replied. “We’re going to come up from behind and trap them so they have nowhere to run when they realize just how much of a mistake they’ve made.”
“There are around fifty members training in there right now, all of them prime and strong members of the society. Not everyone went with those others–they needed a backup plan and people to protect this place. They will be able to hold them until we arrive. The only thing I’m worried about is if they finish them off before we arrive.” Olag started to laugh, and so did the rest of the group. That laughter quickly stopped, though, as Olag froze in place.
He had stopped running, and so did the others behind him. He looked at one of the side walls -the walls that were made of solid and thick steel, at least three meters thick. He raised his hand and touched the edge of the metal.
“How is something like this possible?” one of the members asked.
“I have no idea, but we better hurry,” Olag replied as he looked at the large hole that had been carved out from the metal. It went deep and far. The walls had been used as a shortcut to head to the training room, and the metal was completely destroyed.
Raze was continuing to follow the trail-the trail of where the most people in the facility were. He could only sense movement from far out with his Wind magic; he was unable to know the layout or anything else in the facility.
Instead of going through the large number of corridors and trying to get key passes to head through some of the doors, he decided to make his own shortcut to get to the place.
With his sword, he was ready as he went ahead and used the fourth formation: Void Pulse Formation. With a little magic and his Qi, Raze thrust his sword forward, and it pierced through the thick steel walls.
The attack was large enough to create a big opening for them to get through, but it only got them from one hallway into another.
“We need to move quickly. Although this place is solid and that didn’t make too much noise, you never know what security systems they have here,” Raze said as he continued to push forward.
The one saving grace for the two of them was that despite how large the facility was, there seemed to be a lack of people in the place, which was making it harder for them to be discovered. The size of the facility was only making Raze more intrigued as he felt something had to be there.
As the two carried on moving, they came to another steel wall, and once again, Raze lifted his sword, gathering the Dark Magic and the Qi in the hilt of the sword and thrusting it forward.
The attack tore through the metal, piercing deep and right through it. Raze felt something- after his fight, he thought his body would be worn, would be broken down, but instead, it felt slightly stronger than before.
The fact that he could produce two Void Pulses and still feel fine was quite the sign. As they passed through the destroyed part of the walls, Mantis couldn’t help but look at the steel. He went ahead to grab it, hardening his Qi around his hand so it didn’t get cut.
He grabbed part of the broken edge and then tensed his hand. It started shaking, and finally, the steel crunched up into a ball, and he ripped it off from the wall.
“This stuff is really sturdy, and it’s so thick, and with his attack, he was able to break through it like that?’ Mantis thought.
He was gaining an idea of just how strong the person he was with currently was. No longer could he even look at Raze as a rival, but he started to think something else as well.
Just before they reached the other side of the wall in the hallway, Raze was getting ready to break through it again.
“Wait!” Mantis said. “Do you mind if I give this one a try?”
Raze looked through the holes and hallways they had made. It didn’t look like anyone was following them, so he stood to the side.
Mantis figured this was Raze’s way of saying to give it a go.
Mantis took a few steps back, further into the width of the hallway, then bent down, crouching like a tiger. He got ready and ran up, his Qi gathering in his hand. He continued forward and then flung his hand out with all of his speed, bashing it into the wall.
A loud echo and a thud were heard, shaking the floor they were on, and quite a dent had been made. The rest of Mantis’s body then crashed into the wall, and he fell onto the ground.
“Sh*t!” Mantis said as he held onto his shoulder and looked at the wall. It was dented, but he hadn’t managed to break through it completely.
In all honesty, Raze was quite impressed with what had been done already, especially for a student-it was clear he had gotten stronger.
“Let me try again… I think I nearly got it,” Mantis said as he jumped back to where he was and got into the same position as before.
Raze didn’t say anything and continued to watch as Mantis ran across the room, kicking the floor, and then leapt through the air.
“I’m going to destroy this f*cking wall!” Mantis exclaimed, and as he gathered Qi, dug in deep, drawing more power, a black substance gathered around his entire arm. A wing came out from his back, only from one shoulder, and propelled him forward.
His fist crushed right through the steel wall, breaking through it until he had reached the other end, landing on his feet.
Mantis was staring at the floor, unaware of what had happened.
“I did it!” Mantis said with a smile and looked up, only to find himself in a room, surrounded by fifty or so people staring at him.
“You did, and now it looks like we might need that strength of yours even more so,” Raze said as he came through. The two of them had reached the training area.
Chapter 774: A Walking Disaster
For a moment, Mantis was ecstatic. He was so pleased with himself, that he had managed to break through the thick steel wall. The wall that he would have just deemed impossible for him to break through.
After seeing Raze do it again and again though, he just had to give it a try. He knew his new body was stronger, and he had an idea from watching how Raze used his Void Pulse. He gathered the Qi in the back of his hand, and twisted his fist to put all of the Qi in one point, exploding out.
The results weren’t what he had expected, but he tried it again, putting more Qi to the back of his hand, and unknowingly to himself, focusing so hard on those points, had caused his back to partly transform, as well as his hand and with the extra power of his Hybrid form, he smashed right through the thick steel, and in turn arrived on the other side, where there were countless people staring and looking at who had just entered.
When looking up, Mantis could see the crowd of people looking at him, and he could feel their Qi. These weren’t amateurs; they were strong warriors.
“There are only two of them attacking; they must have gotten here by mistake!” One of the warriors shouted.
“Focus on the shirtless one!” A man pointed at Mantis. “He just broke through the steel, we need to get rid of him first.”
Seeing as there were only two, and what Mantis had just done, the Bonum Society members were quick to act as they charged forward towards them.
“Do your best to deal with them, I need to observe a bit more,” Raze said, as he realized that there was next to nothing in this room, and wondered why it existed in the first place.
One of the warriors who were running toward the group stretched out their arm, and a sword skimmed Mantis’s face. He was surprised but reacted in time and grabbed the man by the wrist.
He then pulled his arm in the air, and Mantis slammed his fist into his stomach, sending him away.
Several warriors quickly came toward Mantis, who had no choice but to dodge and block a few hits, but there were so many attackers that he couldn’t help but get hit in the stomach.
As he punched another one away, he was left wide open, and a sword strike came right by his neck. Before the man could get any closer, though, a palm strike was delivered into his stomach, but it wasn’t from Mantis’s hand; it was from another.
The man was sent flying and tumbling, bouncing off the floor several times in the other direction.
“You might need a little help; there seem to be quite a lot of them,” Raze had to admit, as he pulled out his sword.
He swung it, striking against another, just with his Qi, he was winning out and as he attacked a sword it would bounce back, some warriors even let go of their grip. Another started to change into what looked like a wolf-like beast.
Before it could fully change though, Raze got out his hand, and fired away.
“Dark Pulse!” The beam went out from his hand, hitting the beast man in the leg, immobilizing him and sending him to the floor.
While Raze struck the ground with his foot to stop the others with his Qi as much as possible.
‘Not only are there so many of them, but all of them seem to be quite resistant as well. Even if I strike them with my sword, some of their wounds are healing. If I hit them with my Qi, they’re getting back up as well.’ Raze noticed. ‘Are they all beast-like beings, like Murkel?’
At the same time, although Mantis was suffering from a lot of hits, he was giving a lot back. His wild fighting style made it hard for them to pin him down. Even as they used their beast- like skills, Mantis was able to strike with his hand.
His fingers were hardened more than before and his Qi sharpened, making them like claws, allowing him to cut through any substance that was trying to pin him down. Still, there was just an odd feeling that he had been through this before, or almost as if the place was quite familiar to him.
Yet the feeling of familiarity wasn’t making him feel as if he was at home, instead, it was making him feel a bit of a deeper hatred.
The next person he kicked, he kicked with such vigor their body flipped several times in the air before landing.
“There’s something I don’t like about this place, and there’s definitely something I don’t like about you,” Mantis said.
Crouching down, Mantis then jumped from person to person, striking each of them, and grabbing onto a sword with his bare hand. He did so with such brute force that the sword snapped before he punched the man on the head, sending him to the ground.
Because of how vicious Mantis was being, a lot more of the Bonum Society members were paying attention to him, rather than that of Raze. Allowing for Raze, to take a more calm approach to those that he was facing.
If anything, Raze was somewhat practicing against his opponents, as he was trying to predict and see where their strikes were coming from even if they were a Hybrid.
Raze was also trying to gauge just how much energy he would need to try and beat these people down, and make sure they didn’t get up again. After constantly running out of mana and Qi, he didn’t want to be in that situation again.
He was sure in a facility like this there would be more he would have to face, and it was the same for the rest of the Light Faction he would have to go against.
It was then, through the same hole that Mantis had made, that Olag and his group had entered.
“Just what in the heck is going on!” Olag said.
Chapter 775: Don’t Touch The Kid
Olag and his group were able to follow the trail of the intruders fairly easily. They could see the destruction they had left behind, and were going through the large holes created in the walls one by one.
Eventually, they were led to the last hole in the wall, and they all knew what was coming ahead of them.
“I hope those guys weren’t too rough on them; I wanted to get a beat down on these brave idiots myself!” Olag thought.
When he stepped through the final hole in the wall into the training room, the sight wasn’t what he had expected, and that was true in more ways than one.
He was carefully looking at the situation. For one, he saw the man in a strange blazer avoiding the strikes from three of the warriors. He was skillfully moving from side to side, and when an attack from a beast claw was about to hit his head, he had knocked it away with his sword. What had really caught his eye was the other young man, who was knocking away warriors coming at him. When large hybrids that had transformed were using their powerful limbs, the young man was still able to block the strike and hit the person far away.
So many men had already been knocked down and hurt, at least twelve of them. This was one of the surprises, as for the other, it was who the two people they were fighting against.
“These guys, they aren’t intruders,” Olag said. “That’s the two that were brought in, they were both passed out. What happened for them to act like this waking up?”
As Olag watched more and more, he was keeping an eye on Mantis of all people and was truly impressed by his power and skill.
‘They said that the leader of the group, and the one that brought them together, was the person that was put to sleep. The way they were all coddling over the guy with white hair, I thought they were talking about him, but now I can see I made a big mistake.
‘The strong one they were talking about must have been him!’ Olag thought.
“You guys, deal with the one with white hair,” Olag ordered. “Make sure to keep him alive, as for this one, I’ll deal with him.”
Olag then charged forward, and continued to run, he saw Mantis ready to strike one of his men and before he reached Olag grabbed right onto his fist. It was the first punch that had been stopped, and one that had been stopped so easily.
“Huh, where did you come from, baldie!” Mantis said, as he lifted his leg, ready to deliver a powerful kick to his side.
Olag continued to hold onto Mantis’s fist, and that’s when his fists lit up, giving off a large explosion. It blew Mantis back, sending him rolling on the ground. More of his clothing was burnt off, and parts of his chest were hurt, but the white substance started to appear on his chest, and his wounds were beginning to heal up.
“That hurt quite a bit, was that a Qi explosion?” Mantis thought.
Qi was energy in the body, but Qi was always used to reinforce or used to go out of one’s body in a controlled manner. However, everyone knew if one wasn’t careful with the way they used Qi, it could do more harm to the body than good.
One of these things was Qi exploding in one’s body, and it almost felt like his opponent had done that on purpose.
As the smoke started to clear, Olag was seen walking over, the white substance was covering his entire arm from his elbow, it appeared as if it was growing back in place.
“So, you’re a Hybrid as well, it’s no wonder you are so strong, and a White-colored one like me of all things. Well, you should know that I’m the strongest White-colored Hybrid alive. “I was going to bring you alive, but I didn’t realize you were such a feisty one. Now that I know you’re a White hybrid, at least I know you won’t die as easily!” Olag claimed as he ran in again.
When Olag charged forward, he threw out several punches. He was fast, just as fast as Mantis, who managed to block all the hits, but when Mantis went to deliver an attack of his own, sending a kick out, his leg was carefully grabbed again, and Olag’s hand could be seen lighting up.
“F*ck!” Mantis could be heard shouting before the explosion went off again, and sent him skidding across the floor.
However, Mantis was quick on his feet and this time when he recovered, he had gotten down on all fours into a crouching position.
“I’m the Black Tiger, I’m not just anybody, and I’m not going to fall here!” Mantis exclaimed as he started to run forward and jumped from side to side, picking up an immense amount of speed.
If he was able to do the same as what he had done before. If he could burst a hole right through this man like he had done with the wall, then the person in his way would be done for.
With a mighty leap, he jumped in, remembering the feeling, out from his back a large wing appeared and sent him propelling forward, and Mantis threw out his claw-like fist, breaking right through Olag’s stomach. Mantis could see his hand on the other side, and the body had reached all the way up to his shoulder.
“How’s that!” Mantis asked with a smile.
When he went to look up above him though, instead, he could see the smile of Olag.
“It’s going to take a lot more than that to kill me, and now, I have you right where I want you,” Olag said with his hand inching towards Mantis’s face.
Raze, even with the new enemies that were on him, had continuously been watching Mantis, and seeing what was about to happen, he felt like he had no choice.
He lifted his hand up, and Dark magic started to swirl around his hand, and then condensed inward.
