Dark Magus Returns-Chapter 877: 15 Minutes Left

Since the fight had started with Sha Mo, Liam had been preparing in advance. He had learned a lot from fighting alongside Anna.

The system was great at gathering information and coming up with the best solution to fight, the best techniques to use against the enemy when countering.

But it could only make do with what it had. The system would be unaware of certain variables, and at times it was the user that needed to act. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Which was why throughout the fight, he had been carefully placing swords into the ground.

When they first met Sha Mo, when running around, and even when Simyon was taking the full brunt of the attacks.

However, if one were to look at Liam, he only possessed two swords in his hands. He neither had a place to store extra items or objects like that of Raze.

This was all because of the special artifact that he had managed to obtain, and they were the new weapons in his hands.

When going from Clan to Clan, the one Liam had been to, he had come across these strange weapons.

He had fought against the leader of the clan at the time, who had used them, so Liam was already aware of what they could do.

The Dark Faction Clan leader had used them along with his Qi as throwing items. The blades could clone themselves with a touch of the center of the ring.

In doing so, it would take a part of the user's Qi each time.

With Liam's system, he was able to avoid the extra blades and even deflect quite a few with his various martial arts.

When he obtained the weapons created by the artifact, he was quite disappointed.

The weapons were sturdy and certainly better than what one could normally buy. A top blacksmith could perhaps make the same quality of weapons, but the weapons themselves didn't give the user any extra power.

What was the use of a weapon that could clone itself? Other than using it the same way his opponent had done?

If anything, it would take up Liam's Qi. Relying on the system would be the best way, and even with the weapons, the system had known no better what to do with them.

In the end, though, it was his allies, his friends Safa and Simyon, that caused him to push himself into thinking further ahead.

They had come back often, talking about how much of a genius Amir was. He had figured everything out with the artifacts they had obtained.

It was quite possible that Amir was wrong about an artifact being useful for Liam, but nonetheless, he continued to try and find a way, and it had come to him.

Out on the field, Liam had eight blades hovering over his back, spread out like the face of a clock.

In his hands, the weapons were still present along with those on the floor.

"You have strong Qi, but you avoided my attack from earlier, so my guess is you can't keep your Qi everywhere over your body to protect yourself. Well, prepare yourself for my attack that can't be avoided!" As Liam finished his monologue, he pointed one of the blades in his hand forward.

Right at that moment, the swords that were floating on his back all went toward Sha Mo. It wasn't just them, though. The swords on the ground moved, all heading toward Sha Mo from every direction, and they had done so at an incredibly fast speed.

There were so many swords in the air, it truly was a strike that couldn't be blocked.

'This is my answer, this is what I came up with, this is what you wanted from me, right Amir?' Liam thought.

Just like with Simyon, there was more that Liam was able to do. He had his special earrings allowing him to retract and repel objects.

The thing was, he only had two earrings, which meant he could only retract and repel the two swords in his hands.

Through his hardships, though, he had figured out that when cloning the weapon, the earrings treated the weapon as the same weapon.

This gave him much more versatility in the use of his powers. One sword placed by Sha Mo's feet, and as for the rest, he could attract the swords to that position, making it so they all went and struck him at the same time.

He had even figured out some special uses while fighting, allowing the swords to slightly repel above him and stay in the air.

While fighting with his two swords, he could even attract one to where he struck, giving him another place to attack.

With an enemy like Sha Mo, though, Liam felt like it was best to stay as far away as possible from him.

'Thanks to the system as well, I was able to calculate every position. From here, there's nowhere for you to escape.'

All the swords touched Sha Mo's body, including the bare skin on his face. They stayed there only for a moment before falling right to the floor, doing no damage at all.

Liam stood there with his sword pointed at Sha Mo.

"Well, that's it, we're screwed!" Liam said. "If my sword can't pierce him and your spear can't, then how are we meant to beat this giant meatball?"

"We have to find a way!" Simyon said. Although he was doubtful, Sha Mo's Qi was just too strong for them to face.

"What, with you just constantly blocking his attacks? Maybe his fist will eventually get sore, and he can bleed to death from his knuckles!"

"Liam, you're not helping the situation!" Safa shouted, which finally got him to shut up.

However, she too felt the frustration. They had all trained incredibly hard; they had gone through a lot. Even now, they were able to best Clan Heads.

None of them were weak by any means, it was just that the jump in the level of opponent for them this time was too much.

"Well, maybe with all of us, we can wear him down enough so something gets through,"

Ricktor said, walking forward.

Safa, looking to her left, could see Ricktor, Mada, and Mantis. When she turned to her right, Rayna and Anna were there as well.

"15 minutes," Anna said. "We have to beat him in 15 minutes."
