Raze's Confrontation

Raze stood there as he took the Qi pill. As the pill broke down and his body started to absorb its contents, he could feel the rings that made up his magic core spinning around his heart with vibrancy.

His power was returning, and he soon stood as strong as his usual self right in front of Murkel, despite the amount of Qi Murkel was letting out, Raze was unaffected.

"You seem to have gone through a lot; you finally managed to reach the middle stage and you have a number of tricks up your sleeve," Murkel said. "But I think it's far-fetched to say that I have underestimated you."

Swirling around Raze's arms in that moment was the same magic as before; it looked like large currents of wind. He hadn't even drawn out his sword yet.

On top of that, the pill that he had consumed was the Cursed Qi pill; it restored all of his mana, but it would only last a minute, after which he would be completely drained and back to the same state as before.
