Dark Magus Returns - C.646 The Copycat’s Weakness

?Hannah had charged forward straight ahead, receiving a good kick from Liam. She had realized something. Although the person in front of her was performing the same techniques as those that had been seen, there was a certain edge to them all that was missing.

'It might be the fact that some of the moves require a different type of Qi involved, and the person in front of me is using Dark Qi… at least that's what I thought originally until I saw him use a move by those in the Dark faction!' Hannah figured.

'This boy's Qi, his body composition, and more, are weaker than the others; he's not as strong as his counterparts.'

Hannah's guess was right on. After all, unlike all of the others, Liam was the lowest stage warrior out of the Dark Faction group, still being a stage five warrior.

Which was an impressive feat, but even with the system enhancing his body and optimizing the skills he should use, it couldn't increase his Qi.

Nor could it change the type of Qi used for each of the techniques. Still, it didn't matter because he still was amazing even without these things.

And he was going to prove it, as he lifted both of his hands in the air. The position others had seen him in gave them all a twinkle.

They had seen the sight twice now, and each time, it had caused great destruction to the place. It was part of the reason why The Demon's name was given to him, but now it looked as if there was a person that could actually copy the Demon's skills. If that was the case, they might very well be witnessing the most strongest Pagna warrior to exist.

"Second formation!" Liam mumbled under his breath, unable to contain his smile. "Eclipse Strike!"

Liam swung the sword down, and at the same time, Hannah jumped to the side. She used all the Qi in her left leg to try and avoid the attack as much as possible.

She had jumped to the side, disregarding everything, but she didn't get her footing when landing and had rolled on the ground before getting up.

She then quickly raised her sword to block out any of the lingering power of the attack.

'I too have prepared for this. I'm not just going to be going against you because I plan to win this thing; I thought about how to deal with this as well!'

However, her lingering thoughts soon disappeared because no attack had hit her. When she looked at where Liam was standing, the sword had been swung down, but there was nothing.

The flooring was in perfect condition, there wasn't a large amount of Qi that had flown out of the sword, and now when she thought about it, she hadn't even seen the sword covered in the Demonic energy she had witnessed before.

At the same time, as Liam had swung the sword down, for the first time, he could see several messages appearing in his view.

[Error, Error]

[You do not have all the requirements in order to produce this skill]

'What are you saying? I thought you said you had analyzed the movements and Qi used in the skill; you said I could use it.'

[It seems there are components to the skill that even I, the system, cannot recognize. The skill has failed due to that fact.]

Liam couldn't believe it. He had seen moves performed by the teachers and was still able to copy their techniques.

Although it would just be performed at a subpar level, only what his body could keep up with, but now it was stating that it couldn't copy what Raze had done?

'What exactly was that move?'

[Warning, an attack is coming from your side.]

[Recommended: Two-step shift, followed by a quick strike.]

While Liam was in shock for his skill not working, Hannah had charged forward, her sword glowing once again, and vertically slashed at his side.

Thanks to the system and following its suggestions, he had used the two-step shift to move to the side, and then quickly struck at Hannah, who had blocked the hit.

"It looks like you can't copy everything you see, huh? I guess the Demon is someone that has us all beat," Hannah said.

"Yeah," Liam replied. "That Demon is certainly special, very special!"

Liam then skimmed the sword across Hannah's and let go of the weapon himself. She quickly saw Liam jumping to her side and was wondering what had happened when she saw him right in the air.

There was nothing in his hand, when suddenly another blade was drawn out from Liam, and he had struck from above.

Letting go of the weapon again, Liam now had another one in his hand.

It was a strange sight for the crowd to see, and they were confused by what was happening. Liam was striking with two hands on a blade, letting go, and then grabbing the other weapon and swinging it against Hannah.

He was striking with all of his force each time, and grabbing the sword, he was using a number of techniques.

What they couldn't understand was how Liam was able to keep the sword lingering in the air for so long. While at the same time, perfectly catching them in place for his next sword strike to be in place.

'That Demon is so amazing that he created amazing items like this, that allow me to fight stronger opponents than me, like you!' Liam thought as he struck from above again.

The powerful hit had caused Hannah's foot to slip. It looked like she was about to be hit, but quickly used the half moon to block the strike and backed up, making sure that Liam couldn't follow up with any more strikes.

'My hands are completely numb; that was like being surrounded by multiple Pagna warriors attacking me at once. If I was in there for longer I would have badly got hurt.'

'What even was that, strikes with full force using different techniques, my mind is breaking apart just trying to think of ways to block it each time.'

Liam now held both of the swords in his hands. He was using the items that had been given to him by Raze, combining the use of the juggling arts, along with his system powers.

Although his system could give him suggestions and optimal routes, it struggled when trying to include the powers of the magical earrings he wore that allowed him to attract and repel the two swords he had.

It wasn't a technique, and the system couldn't comprehend the use of magic like it could the Pagna warrior techniques.

So Liam had to use his own way to combine his magical items, his Pagna warrior capabilities, and his system together to come up with this attack.

A flurry of techniques coming at a person from all sides, if Liam was a stronger warrior, then Hannah would already be down for the count.

"Alright," Hannah said, standing up and placing her sword down by her side. "I think I have all your tricks figured out. I've evaluated for long enough; it's time for me to win this fight."

Anna watching the fight, she was sure of one thing now, that the kid really was using the System. However, after analyzing the fight herself, she was now sure of one thing.

'That one-eyed boy is going to lose.'
