Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 972  The Smartist Girl

Thanks to the Lux Sword, she had received a second chance at life, but that chance wasn\'t going to come again. With the way she was, she needed to become stronger in order to help Raze.

She had learned Light Magic, studied everything she could about it, and would use that to at least support Raze and the team by healing them, but now that she was no longer able to use Light Magic, was she the most useless in the group?

It was the wondering thought that continued in her mind again and again. She had been called talented by her spear teacher, she had been called talented by Amir for being able to cultivate Qi constantly, but without all of that she knew she was useless.

Right now, Simyon, Liam, and Anna were picking up the slack. They were the only ones able to do anything, and it wasn\'t right. Not only that, because Safa had let go of the Lux Sword, now their opponent was even stronger.

Although she had promised herself never to be put in the same situation against Sha Mo, she felt like it was worse if all of the others perished.

So she didn\'t care if she was covered in blood, didn\'t care if she needed to use the carcasses of the bodies to avoid getting hurt, and didn\'t care what she had to bite through or bear the pain—she was going to help.

It was just an idea she had in her head, a simple thought and a gamble, but she decided to go around and step right into the magic circle.

From what she knew, interrupting a magic circle was quite deadly in a few ways. For one, it could interrupt the spell completely, causing it to blast energy to the outside and hurting all those in and out of the circle.

However, various other things could occur depending on what type of magic circle it was. Seeing with her god eyes that she was still able to use, that it was a type of Light Magic, even though she had no mana she could control, she thought she would be able to flow through it.

She stepped into the circle at that moment to help Charlotte, and maybe then they could get away, but when stepping into the circle, something else happened instead. Safa couldn\'t control the magic at all, at least not yet.

Instead, Safa could feel it as she dropped to her knees right in the circle. She grunted as she turned her head to look behind her.

"Safa!" Simyon shouted, and charged forward, but Carl\'s body looked to have disintegrated into nothing but energy. As he moved, a constant flow of orange energy was left behind in his path. He appeared right in front of Simyon and shoved the spear deep into his chest.

Simyon grunted as he held onto the spear, pushing it with his body. The tip had pierced his skin but he was still holding on strong.

"SAFA!" Simyon shouted out again.

"Safa, Safa, Safa, are you in love with her or something?" Carl said as the winding magic covered his spear again and spiraled around the entire weapon until it reached the tip. It then forcefully pushed, exploding and ripping a large part of Simyon\'s skin off from his chest and chucking him into the air.

Liam tried to move out of the way but was knocked by Simyon and the two had practically landed on top of each other.

"That fool," Carl claimed. "Does she not know anything about that circle? She has just decided to become a willing sacrifice instead!"

This was part of Safa\'s worry as well—that depending on the magic formation drawn on the ground, her entering would mean she was a part of whatever was going on right now. She could feel it; strangely, energy was drawing out of her, but this new energy she could feel, that wasn\'t magic or Qi, was coming from somewhere.

\'Focus Safa, focus, this isn\'t why you came here.\' Lifting her hands up, she tapped the side of her head, and activated the god eyes. When she looked, she could see the links in the room—the flowing of different energies from all over.

The energy from the sacrifices—red lines that connected to the magic formation. From there, the energy from Charlotte, and the threads that were connecting to above, and all of it—the Light Magic that was being used.

"Come on, I thought you were going to save your friend!" Carl laughed. He wasn\'t even charging forward trying to hurt the others, or Anna that was still very much standing. Instead, he was just laughing.

At the end of the day, all he needed to do was wait until the ritual was complete, and with two individuals he thought they could gather more energy than ever.

"You laugh and laugh, and although I don\'t have my system anymore I can tell you one thing," Anna said. "That girl is the smartest girl that I\'ve ever met, and if she went in there, then she would have done so with a plan!"

Safa moved her hands in the air, grabbing threads of energy, and appearing in one of her hands was a small stone statue. A very particular special statue which was now permanently hers and a gift from Raze.

\'I didn\'t want to rely on the statue, as we have to solve the problem ourselves. We have to get stronger, rather than relying on Stoney all the time, but in important situations we have to use him!\' Safa thought to herself.

The issue was, with the strange item that Carl had originally used, it had stopped her magic from working. With it she was unable to activate Stoney that needed magic in the first place to work.

In the dire situation she looked for the one area where magic source was still powerful, so as long as she could use the Light Magic in the formation, she could activate Stoney. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Help us, Stoney!" Safa called, and the magic inserted into the statue.

It immediately started to grow in size, taking on its full form, and the mass amount of Qi energy could be felt. Carl was quite surprised as he could feel the energy coming off from the statue. If he was to go head to head with it, he wasn\'t sure that he could survive.

"Take him out!" Safa called.

Stoney immediately stepped out of the magic circle formation, and charged forward toward Carl. Afraid for his life, there was only one thing he could do. The metallic orb in his hand—he activated its powers, and with a flash, it filled the entire room.

The others were unprepared so this time they were blinded by the strong light. Slowly they started to open their eyes, and all they could hear was the sound of laughter.

"Ha…ha…ha!" Carl laughed with his head in the air. "The Sun God has done it again. The items we have obtained because of him is a blessing—look at its power, it can even stop such things like this! There is nothing that can get in the way of those that support the Sun God!"

The item that Carl used, just like before which had gotten rid of Safa\'s powers, of Liam\'s and Anna\'s systems and Simyon\'s magic items, it had also gotten rid of the statue.

"Crap, crap, crap!" Simyon shouted. He knew Stoney\'s power was great, and with it he would have been able to beat Carl, if it wasn\'t for the strange device that he had. If it wasn\'t for that, then everything would have been just fine.

Now Simyon felt like Safa\'s sacrifice had gone to waste, and she somewhat thought the same as she looked at Stoney.

\'He won\'t be able to be used again…but it\'s not over yet, I need to think, I need to think!\' Safa thought.

Her god eyes were still activating and her head was pounding. With mana and energy being taken from her body, it was affecting her severely, but with the energy maybe she could see something, and soon she could.

When she looked above, there was something in the room only she could see—a mystical power that was coming down from above, and looked to be heading toward the formation.

"What…are you?" Safa said looking at the energy.

The energy seemed to be trying to pull away, trying to move back up, but was being forced down.

"You can see me," the mystical energy said, the voice resounding in her head and vibrating through her body. "It seems like you can. I can see what is happening; this man is trying to take my power…I can see the situation.

"If things continue like this, then I will not survive, and it looks like neither will the rest of you. I suppose, if I am to finally die, after a long life, then I might as well take the one who got rid of me as well…I shall help you, young woman…I shall give you this power of a Divine one."
