Versatile Mage

The trio sprinted across a deserted spacious land. Suddenly, a white bolt of lightning with hints of purple came down from the sky and landed on a truck in front of them.

The truck exploded instantly, bursting into flames. Its broken parts sprayed at Mo Fan, Heidi, and Mu Bai, forcing them to stop.

“Humph, you imbeciles dare to invade when I, Charun, am in charge? I will give you a chance to turn yourself in, considering how young you are. Otherwise, when I start to attack, you shouldn’t blame me for executing you right on the spot! As the chief guard here, I have the right to execute you right away!” A middle-aged man, flickering with a mix of white and purple light, was shouting from atop on a tall warehouse built with metal sheets.

Four squads of Battlemages showed up at the spacious junction while the man was speaking, each numbering around thirty people. Even though they were not necessarily elites, they were a lot stronger than the sentries!

“Chief guard, a lot of our sentries are heavily injured. We shouldn’t waste any time with them. They have broken the law and trespassed into a forbidden area with force. It’s the greatest insult to our army!” a soldier in gray casual clothes on the ground called out.

“Leave the woman to me!” a woman with disheveled hair beside the soldier in gray clothes spoke up, proud and disdainful, “I thought I could go to bed early tonight, yet some disrespectful jerks had to challenge our troop! Is it because we haven’t been on the front line for too long, so people have stopped treating us seriously?”

“The rest of you, just hold your positions and don’t let them run around like mice! Saudi, take out the Ice Mage, leave the guy beside him to me! Saumi… oh, you already found your opponent!” Charun jumped down from the warehouse. He did not let the soldiers interfere, showing how confident he was.

The three of them slowly moved up and stood opposite Mo Fan and his crew.

The Maga with wet hair, Saumi, walked up to them boldly. She stared at Heidi and said mockingly, “Hey, you have my favorite blue eyes. I should consider including your beautiful eyes in my collection after you die…”

“I’m in a hurry here, piss off, will you!?” Mo Fan was enraged after seeing how the woman kept making a display of herself and wasting his time.

Mo Fan summoned a bolt of lightning into his hand. The lightning crackled wildly and turned into a thick lightning spear when he tossed it into the air. The lightning surged fiercely and whipped at the ground and the buildings on both sides. The street lamps shattered in the strong electric field.

The Maga Saumi chortled. She casually slid backward with Earth Magic to dodge the spear. The spear landed on where she had been standing on a second late.

“I’m not interested in you, I said that my opponent is…” Saumi looked at Mo Fan disdainfully.

The lightning spear started releasing dense lightning arcs to form a giant web. It looked like countless enormous black eels weaving through the air rapidly!

The Lightning Disaster reached her feet before she could finish her sentence. The huge explosion the wild lightning triggered under her knocked her flying!

Saumi was sent tumbling from the junction all the way to the storage warehouse at the end of the road. The long hair she had delicately combed was now scorched black. She was stuck to a wall, twitching uncontrollably.

The four squads of soldiers were stunned after watching one of their leaders get sent flying across the sky and falling unconscious!

A single spell! Their leader was knocked out by a single spell!

How did the guy do it!?

“Damn it, such a dirty move!” Captain Saudi was infuriated. He sprang forward like a fierce gust of wind.

His movements were unpredictable. When someone saw him in front, he would instantly move to the side, looking for the perfect blind spot to attack his enemy!

“A piece of trash like you shouldn’t bother embarrassing yourself!” Mo Fan completely lost his temper. He had initially planned to go easy on them, since they were soldiers, but he had totally lost the patience for it.

Mo Fan’s eyes emitted a silver glitter as he suddenly glanced at the area Saudi was in.

An invisible rhomboid encapsulated Saudi like a transparent cage. Saudi had outstanding speed when utilizing his Wind Magic, but when Mo Fan locked his gaze on him, his speed dropped dramatically.

A moment later, the blowing wind that was carrying Saudi turned into a Wind Track, and Saudi had gone from riding the wind to running on his feet. When the light emitted by Mo Fan’s eyes reached its peak, Saudi was shocked when he noticed he was actually walking quite slowly.

“Space Element: Time Stasis!” Chief Guard Charun blurted out in astonishment.

Saudi was so slow in Mo Fan’s Space Rhythm that he was barely moving. In the end, he was knocked into the air by Mo Fan’s Telekinesis.

Saudi spat out a mouthful of blood like a red fountain as he flew into the air. The soldiers suddenly felt their view of the world toppling once again after witnessing Saudi’s miserable defeat!

“You’re the only one left. Are you going to leave yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?” Mo Fan looked up at the Chief Guard.

The pride and imperiousness that Charun had initially displayed had only lasted briefly. He finally realized that these three young mages that had dared to break through their defense by force were no ordinary people!

“Humph, the Space Element isn’t necessarily unbeatable. Have a taste of my Eagle Lightning!” Charun had no excuse to back away as a soldier.

“I’ll give you three attempts to attack me with your lightning. If you can hurt even a single strand of my hair, you can do anything to my friends and I. Otherwise, take your men and leave at once, so you won’t waste any more of my time!” Mo Fan returned.

“You’re too full of yourself!” Charun was enraged.

Charun was an Advanced Mage. When he drew the seven purple Star Patterns, a glowing purple eagle sprang into the sky as the Star Constellation was formed.

The Starry Eagle dissipated in the sky and brought down a fierce bolt of lightning. The lightning eagle dove down at Mo Fan recklessly.

Mo Fan remained motionless. He did not use any magic to defend himself.

The powerful Eagle Lightning landed on him. The people nearby felt their ears buzzing and their eyes dazzled by the terrifying impact.

The ground cracked apart. The steel gates and windows nearby were shattered into pieces, but Mo Fan, who was right in the middle of the impact, was perfectly unharmed. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying it, as if it was some soothing sunlight.

“This…” Charun’s eyes almost fell out.

His lightning was ineffective against the kid?

“He…he really is… unharmed…” The soldiers that were standing further away struggled to believe their eyes.

Their commander was an Advanced Lightning Mage, yet he could not even harm a young man in his twenties!

“Again!” Charun yelled angrily. He cast a Silent Deadly Bolt at Mo Fan. The extremely penetrative lightning bolts struck Mo Fan with their full force!

In response, a dark lightning barrier surrounded Mo Fan and nullified the bolts. He was unharmed once again!

Charun was on the verge of losing his mind.

He did not even bother with his third attempt. His first two attacks were already his strongest lightning spells, so other spells were clearly not going to work. Charun was now convinced that the guy had a Soul-grade Lightning Seed at least a few times stronger than his. However, he was still struggling to accept the fact that his Soul-grade Lightning Seed could not even hurt a single stand of the guy’s hair!

“Chief… are you alright?” A few soldiers went over to support the demoralized Charun.

It took Charun some time to collect his thoughts. He glanced at Mo Fan and the other two, who had already headed into the distance.

It was truly a great humiliation. It felt like his flesh had just been struck by a bolt of lightning. His dignity had dispersed like smoke!

He never knew the difference between Mages of the same level could be so huge!

A loud crash came from the wall when Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Heidi were on their way to the city. Mo Fan turned around and saw half of the nearby fortress collapsing to the ground all of a sudden. He noticed an enormous silhouette revealed by the faint glow of magic. It had just slammed its tail into the fortress’ walls!

Not long after, more enormous creatures showed up from the same direction. The Mages with wings that were previously on their trail quickly turned around and headed back toward the fortress.

“What’s going on?” Heidi blurted out.

“It seems like they are being attacked by an enormous snake,” Mo Fan said.

“Just in time, there won’t be any resistance then,” Mu Bai nodded without a shred of sympathy.

The Mages in the fortress were the true elites in the army. The sentries, patrols, and guards did not stand a chance against Mo Fan and his crew.

Mo Fan might have considered lending a hand if the army had not manipulated the truth and inverted right and wrong. He had always been a fan of fighting demon creatures.

However, not only did he pretend he did not see the fortress collapsing, he was even grateful for the demon creatures distracting the powerful Mages!

“The Pyramid of Khafre is finally invading the city tonight!” Mu Bai guessed.
