Dark Magus Returns

There was an extra ability that Kush's staff allowed him to do, that he could travel through the ground as long as it was made from earth. This was how he was able to move through the battlefield and continuously change direction. He couldn't just stay underground though, as there was a slight catch. He needed to hold his breath to use the ability. Going through the ground was similar to going underwater. He could somewhat see but not clearly, and there wasn't really anything underground anyway. He was more so using the ability of the golems to guide him to where he needed to be. Then would pop up at the perfect place every time anyone got close to him. Kush lifted his hand up and touched his left eye. "That was a close one, I thought I was going to get hit again. I can't let them get close to me. I can't let those disgusting things even touch me!" As Kush said this, he noticed something on the battlefield though. Alba, Cronker, Tilion, Lily, as well as Forma, and Reno, they had gathered together, and were easily defeating the golems as they were making their way towards him. 'It has to be a coincidence, right?' Kush thought as he moved carefully, and stood close by where the other Demonic warriors were attacking, and he even moved some of the golems so they blocked the line of sight. It would be impossible to spot him even if they knew what he looked like. There was no chance for them to even see him with the mess going on with the battlefield, but when he checked through the eyes of the golem, he could see that they were already extremely close to him. 'No, they're too close, they're too close!' Kush thought as he took a deep breath and then dived back into the ground. He moved as far away as he could but made sure to stay within the confines of the battlefield. If he was outside, it would be too obvious and his powers only worked within a certain range. He also still had no idea what had happened to Garlon, or what was happening to Kush. When he appeared again, he had appeared in the center of the battlefield. He even pretended to do battle with one of the golems he was controlling, blocking the hits, lightly as he did the same before, blocking the path from all angles this time. He chose one of the very corners of the fighting field and brought a lot of distance between him and the Crimson Crane. Yet when he looked through the eyes of his golems, he could see the same thing, the entirety of the Crimson Crane were coming towards him, destroying the golems on their way, and it was immediate. It wasn't a guess, it was clear they knew exactly where he was. 'How can this be, how can they find me each time, it has to be a coincidence!' Worried out of his mind, Kush decided to hold his breath one more time and moved himself to the north location where the fight was taking place. Rather than wasting any time, he looked through his golems and could see that the Crimson Crane had made a turn to where he was. Now he was 100 percent sure, the Crimson Crane knew exactly where he was. 'No matter where I go, they're going to find me. I can't just keep moving around the fields as well. It takes energy from the crystal to do that…and I'm already using a lot of energy making the golems.' Kush knew going back in the ground at this rate was useless. Somehow they had figured out how to locate him, so he could only do one thing. — "He's moved this way now!" Cronker shouted as he quickly jumped from one golem to the next and cut their necks apart, causing them to fall down. "Are you sure!" Kizer shouted. "This is like the fifth time you've sent us in another location, are you sure your trail worked." "Do you doubt me? I threw the solution on him perfectly. It's attached to every piece of clothing he has, and has seeped through to his skin. Even if he removed his skin, I can track him down. This is part of what I do. I don't tell you how to swing your large sword around!" Cronker said angrily. The two looked like they were about to butt heads before Alba came right in the middle of the two of them and slashed a golem in half. "Cronker is right, he's not leading us to different places, it's quite obvious what is happening now. He's catching onto us, that we can now figure out where he is, but he keeps moving," Alba answered. "Then what do you suggest we do?" Reno asked. "If he keeps moving, then every time we get close to him, he will just move again. Do you want each of us to split up?" Alba thought about it, there were enough people that could cover the fighting area from the Crimson Crane. The main issue was only Cronker could tell the scent and the direction of where the Deleter was in. "For now, let's just push forward!" Alba answered as she thought about it. However, for the first time, as the group pushed forward, Cronker wasn't telling them to change direction, stating that they were still up ahead, and as they were ready to move forward, a large fissure appeared right in front of them. A crack in the ground where a large amount of golems had appeared. "He's changed his tactic, is he trying to get rid of us, well that's not going to work!" Alba said as she fought and broke through, and when they finally reached their location, they could see the Deleter was no longer surrounded by other people. He wasn't in a fighting area, and there were no golems around him. Instead, he was only around thirty or so meters away from them, standing right in front of him. "That's him!" Kizer shouted. "Right…but just what is he up to…" Alba questioned. "It doesn't matter, we have to get to him before he moves away again!" Kizer shouted as he charged in first. ***** For updates for JKSManga and my future works, please follow me on my social media below. Instagram: Jksmanga *Patreon: jksmanga
