Versatile Mage

Most Deathstrike Magic Equipment was once-off. Summoning Deathstrike Magic Equipment would grant the Magician a single strong attack, and once its duration came to an end, the Deathstrike Magic Equipment would disappear.

However, the claw gauntlet that Gong Yu was wearing was a unique kind. It seemed like Gong Yu could keep using it as he wished. Its effects were similar to Zhang Xiaohou’s Elements, Wind and Earth, which made it difficult for the enemy to interpret Gong Yu’s movements, allowing him to treat the Warrior-level creatures like fools…

If Gong Yu could use the claw gauntlet, he could easily turn himself into an assassin hiding in the gusts of wind with his outstanding speed, dealing critical blows to the demon creatures while weaving through them.

However, his claw gauntlet was incredibly rare. It was most likely the main reason why Gong Yu was chosen as a candidate of the national team.

There were still risks when using it against demon creatures, but when fighting against Magicians, Wind Magicians like Gong Yu could be absolutely terrifying. His opponents basically stood no chance once he managed to get into melee range.

It was Gong Yu’s first time showing his strength to the team. He pretended to be calm when he noticed his teammates looking in his direction, yet his eyes were filled with pride.

His style of utilizing his speed to slaughter demon creatures was indeed extremely rare among Magicians!

“Thunderbolt: Lightning Disaster!”

While Gong Yu was still indulged in his self-admiration, a voice with a hint of savagery came not far away.

Wild purple lightning struck the ground before anyone could prepare themselves. The lightning flash was so bright that the Magicians could not keep their eyes open…

Not only was the purple-black lightning fierce, the lightning spread rapidly throughout the area in the form of lightning arcs when it landed on the rocks. The lightning arcs combined into lightning webs that caught three Scarlet Soaring Demons who failed to react in time. The lightning conducted back and forth between them, leaving scorched marks on their bodies!

Mo Fan’s lightning didn’t stop after a single strike. Another shocking purple-black lightning swept across the sky as he pointed his finger up. More lightning webs formed on the ground. The three Scarlet Soaring Demons were about to flee when they were caught in the repetitive electric shocks once again!

“Just stay there and enjoy the lightning!”

Killing a monster at a time?

That did not suit his attacking style of being a magic cannon. An agile wind assassin able to slaughter the demon creatures with swift movements? The easiest way to kill a mere Warrior-level creature was to simply blast them to death!

The Thunderbolt: Wild Strikes was already deadly against weaker Warrior-level creatures, but the Thunderbolt: Lightning Disaster was even deadlier. If the lightning strikes focused on the same group of creatures, it could easily kill a group of three in an instant!

Mo Fan had kidnapped a child Scarlet Soaring Demon, hence the adult Scarlet Soaring Demons’ grudge toward him was obviously bigger. The three Scarlet Soaring Demons had Mo Fan as their target, yet they did not expect his strength to be so overwhelming. It was too late when they realized that they were not his opponents. They were half-crippled after two lightning strikes of the Thunderbolt: Lightning Disaster. Mo Fan immediately followed up with more lightning strikes, leaving them completely impaired on the ground!

“How violent!” Jiang Yu was standing nearby. He was too embarrassed to toss the Brilliant Light: Blind in his hand at the creatures. His Basic Light Spell was too weak compared to Mo Fan’s violent lightning.

“Fourth-tier Lightning Strike, what a richass!” another voice said.

Gong Yu’s unique fighting style had surprised the others, yet Mo Fan’s blinding fourth-tier Lightning Strike simply resulted in a stronger visual impact. After all, Mo Fan almost killed three Scarlet Soaring Demons while Gong Yu had just slain one!

“Why run away when you’re already here?”

Mo Fan’s lightning did not stop. Countless lightning marks swiftly appeared on his arm. The lightning was not as fierce as the Lightning Disaster, but it had a strong paralyzing effect!

Mo Fan could cast a Basic Spell just by raising his arm. The Lightning Strike spread in all directions, paralyzing the Scarlet Soaring Demons that were just about to leave the electric field!

A single cast of the fourth-tier Lightning Strike could produce almost a hundred lightning marks. These marks spread evenly among the three Scarlet Soaring Demons, meaning that each of the Scarlet Soaring Demons paralyzed by over thirty lightning marks. On top of that, their bones were already on the verge of shattering after suffering the previous shocks. They soon fell to the ground and could no longer rise to their feet!

“Thunderbolt: Exploding Apex!”

Mo Fan was straightforward with his approach, giving each of the Scarlet Soaring Demons a single cast of the Exploding Apex, which had high single-target damage, sending the three groaning Scarlet Soaring Demons to their deaths!

The three Scarlet Soaring Demons had no chance of fighting back. As a matter of fact, they were extremely close to Mo Fan and were flanking him from different directions. However, Mo Fan easily wiped them out with a single Thunderbolt: Lightning Disaster!

“Three gall bladders. These Scarlet Soaring Demons are weaker than I thought!” Mo Fan acquired the three gall bladders with ease, although they were already scorched black.

The Scarlet Soaring Demons were not powerful, or at least their defense was not impressive at all.

That being said, it was only applicable to Mo Fan. His fourth-tier Thunderbolt was out of the world to begin with. If the damage had not been split between three Scarlet Soaring Demons simultaneously, it was more than enough to kill a weak Warrior-level creature instantly!

“Humph, trying so hard just to kill those creatures,” Gong Yuhumphed in an unpleasant tone.

Gong Yu had yet to use an Intermediate Spell, yet he was agitated when he saw Mo Fan’s efficiency. He immediately headed for his second Scarlet Soaring Demon.

Unfortunately, the four-meter-tall Scarlet Soaring Demon was not as easy as the one he had killed before. Its reactions were quicker, and it could jump nimbly. Gong Yu was not able to get the perfect timing to dig his claws into the creature’s body.

Gong Yu’s primary Element was Wind, and his secondary Element was Earth. His magic was not the offensive kind, yet his attacking style was extremely aggressive, mainly because of the claws on his right hand!

Gong Yu immediately gave Zu Jiming who was fairly close to him a signal when he saw Mo Fan moving on to kill more Scarlet Soaring Demons.

Zu Jiming quickly responded by knocking the Scarlet Soaring Demons into the distance with his spells, not giving Mo Fan any chance to kill them with his deadly lightning.

Gong Yu was surely quicker than Mo Fan if they had to kill the Warrior-level creatures one at a time!

Mo Fan was amused when he saw Zu Jiming’s intentions. Knocking the monsters out of the range of his lightning?

Mo Fan admitted that his Lightning Element had limited range, but he was also a Fire Magician!

“Rose Flame!”

“Fiery Fist!”

“Groundbreak!”

Mo Fan did not bother chasing after the creatures. He even ignored the giant rock in his way!
