Chapter 601 Getting Rid Of 1000
When seeing Tilon use the shield, there was a churning feeling inside of Rayna. She had mentioned all of the details that Raze had given him, telling him how to use the shield, yet she perhaps hadn't mentioned one of the most important things.
Due to the situation, and the fight at hand, Rayna thought if they didn't use the shield, then they might have lost this fight against Polter.
Raze could no longer fight, Alba was down for the count, and even if they all teamed up with their limited strength, it was unlikely they could take on Polter.
So due to the situation, she had explained how to use the shield but didn't explain the downside to the shield as well.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you." Rayna said as she rushed over; she looked at Polter on the ground confirming his death.
The Behemoth Clan were hesitant to attack; now they had witnessed one of their strongest members to fall, and the vigor that was still on Tilon's face.
Tilon's face was so joyous that he hadn't even heard the words that Rayna had spoken before, claiming that the item was cursed.
He was over the moon of the new weapon that was in his hand.
"The last thing the Dark Magus wanted me to inform you of is the effects of using the shield; there are two things that you need to note." Rayna continued. "The first, if the shield is ever destroyed in battle, then it will kill the user."
The smile was frozen on Tilon's face just then. His head slowly turning to look at Rayna.
"This shield... if it's destroyed, I'll die, did you say?" Tilon asked again, to which Rayna nodded.
The shield he had been using to stop every one of Polter's attacks; if any one of them had destroyed it, he would have died.
He started to think; if he was aware of such a thing, would he have used it willingly to block all the hits he had.
It was almost as if one was using their own heart in a battle, blocking each strike hoping that it wouldn't break. Sure, the shield was strong but nothing was unbreakable.
"I... can't use this shield... if I know that, how will I be able to use this shield now!" Tilon dreaded.
Tilon grabbed Alba, lifting her over his shoulder, and ran through the crowd of attackers along with Rayna; he continued to use his shield to effortlessly block the attacks.
As they were running back to the edge of the town, they were starting to realize just how many members were still remaining.
"How are we going to get rid of them all?" Tilon said, even with his new shield.
"We need to trust in Raze." Rayna answered; he said he would handle this, that's why he isn't here.
When getting to the edge of the town, that's when they could see it, Raze was standing on one of the rooftops, looking at the fighting happening in the town slightly behind him, and the main bulk of the attacking force in front of him as well.
"To get rid of this many, there is only one thing I can do." Raze said as he pulled out a Qi pill, this time it was the Cursed Qi pill.
Consuming it, he felt the energy restoring within him. It was coming back; when all the energy came back to him.
Raze pulled out the Ghost blade. The Dark Magic that surrounded it was forming a mist-like aura.
At that point, Raze then stabbed the sword into the rooftop, and the black mist started to spread out in all directions around them.
A heavy mist was filling the entire battlefield, and soon parts of that mist started to form up. From the Dark Magic, creatures were being made.
Other human figures holding onto swords in their hands were appearing in front of the army.
"Third formation of the Dark Edge Magic Sword Arts, the Nightmare Veil Formation..."
It was the same formation he had used when fighting the Lethal Bite Clan, only this time it was extended into a far bigger range.
It wasn't quite used in the same way, as swings of the sword would be the attacks of ferocious beasts and more. There was a lot more magic used in this attack; all the magic Raze could muster, it didn't matter though because this was how he was going to end the fight.
Lifting up his sword, he pointed out. "Attack."
