Dark Magus Returns

For a while since the fight had begun, Heino had been playing with his ring constantly. Just like all of the items that were on Heino, all of them were powerful artifacts, and Raze thought the same about this one.

But what level of artifacts could be used which he hadn't before? Heino was already playing several of his cards, and it was for good reason Raze had the upper hand.

The truth about Heino was that he was a mage who was stuck at the level he was; he was a six-star mage.

The information that Charlotte had given from the beginning, that the leader from Alter was six-star, was the truth. Despite how long he lived, there were those who were also born to only amount to so much.

They could never add extra stars, no matter how great their understanding of magic was. Their bodies just weren't capable of going through such a thing.

For Heino, it didn't matter too much, as he had realized to increase his affinity, he couldn't use the other types of magic, and the longer he went without doing so, the stronger his affinity with time magic became.

At the level of a six-star time mage, he felt like he was unstoppable, since no one else had this type of magic, and even if they did, they weren't able to get it to the level of power he had.

Why did he have to worry about his star level or other types of mana when he had his time magic, and he could always reverse time and get his mana back? What he didn't expect was to meet his match, to meet his counter.

A mage who was proficient in using Dark Magic. Just what had gone on in Alterian for it to come to this? Still, with the life Heino lived, he didn't go through it all without contingencies, and the items on himself were the contingencies.

His necklace gave him the power to break any item he saw, holding it and speaking into it. It had a limit though; it could only be used three times. He had already used it twice, with it failing to break the blazer.

There was no point in using it again. Then he had used it a second time to break what appeared to be the most powerful weapon that was in Raze's possession. It seemed like a desperate attempt, and Raze had somewhat expected this.

Then there were the guns; if he needed a large amount of power to go against his opponent, he would use them as well. These were all of the preparations that he had made if he was to fight even those who could somehow combat his Time magic.

It was safe to say that Heino believed he could beat any mage, including those who called themselves the Grand Magus.

With all the items used so far, he didn't expect much from the ring in his hand, until he saw the smile on Raze's face.

'I just need to touch him, and if I do that…then I'll drain his power away!' Raze thought.

At the same time, Heino was thinking along the same lines.

'I knew this, I knew this was the solution you would come up with. To harm a mage in the first place, you need to get close!'

Heino reached out his hand with his fingers glowing as he touched Raze's body.

"Wrong decision, Let me, get rid of your damn soul!"

It was an item that could only be used twice, and learning its effects and power, it had already been used once in the past before. Now it only had a one-time use, but it was worth it.

The hand of Heino pushed right against Raze's chest, and a strange force flowed right through Raze. It chucked him back in the air as he was flung. He bounced across the ground several times and then lay there right on the floor.

Heino quickly used his skill to revert time on himself and gain his mana back. When he looked around the field, he could see Raze on the floor.

"Haha, haha, and it's as easy as that!" Heino said, the ring on his finger then breaking; no longer could it be used.

'That ring, it had the power to extract one's soul straight from its body,' Heino thought. 'The heart, the body itself is still alive, but it's like an empty vessel. The actual person, the consciousness, all of it, is no longer present…I've won this battle…I've won this war…and when I head to Alter, I will rebuild my empire back there again.'

Heino was smiling to himself, his hand covering his mouth, when he stopped because he could see movement, movement coming from Raze.

His body was moving, and his arm had pushed himself up from the ground.

'No, that's impossible, how could this have happened?' Heino thought. 'The ring, it's broken, which means the item actually did its job, it worked. It couldn't be because of the blazer he's wearing. This item should even transcend that.

This can't be happening, this is impossible.'

When Raze finally stood up, his head felt slightly lightheaded, but his body was fine. Even after getting hit hard enough to toss him so far, there was no wound on his stomach, or anything of the sort.

"What just happened? My mind, my shoulders, all of it feels lighter than before?" Raze thought, but he couldn't figure it out.

"How, are you even a human!" Heino shouted out, clearly frustrated. "How are you able to move? You shouldn't no longer even be in your body anymore!"

Too angry to even hide what the item did, Heino was just shouting out words.

"I shouldn't be in my body?" Raze repeated, giving him an idea of what the item might do and what it might have just done to him.

"Are you there?" Raze asked…and there was no reply.
