Versatile Mage c1-2021, page 109
"Hurry up and go, take the opportunity while his magic is down!" Hui Er commanded furiously.
The Dark Beasts didn't dare to even hesitate. They all continued to charge toward Mo Fan. These Dark Beasts had always been the most optimal cannon fodder for the Black Vatican. Even if all of them were to die, the disciples of the Black Vatican wouldn't care as long as they accomplished their mission.
Facing the remaining ten Dark Beasts, Mo Fan was not scared in the slightest.
There was Lightning flashing within his palm, the Lightning Strike spells were extremely simple for him right now. They didn't even see him make a movement to use the spell.
Fwish...
Sharp claws flashed by, practically streaking across Mo Fan's throat. This attack was extremely dreadful. If the artery in his throat was sliced, he would definitely die!
Mo Fan had already seen this extremely quick Dark Beast, and took a small step to the side.
The moonlight was being dimmed by a cloud, it formed into two gloomy paths. Mo Fan was just standing by one of the gloomy paths. When the Dark Beast made its move, Mo Fan had sank into the boundaries of the shadows…
The second Dark Beast charged toward the darkness and hit the air. It was extremely furious as it kept looking for Mo Fan's shadow everywhere. However, it did not know that Mo Fan had already moved ten meters away, to another dark area.
"Qianjun, Lightning Strike, Wrath Shock!"
This time, it was no longer a purple lightning!
Within the purple of the Lightning strike were some darker colors. The beautiful purple Lightning had turned into an indigo current!
Bzzzt!
The Lightning Strike seemed to be far from as strong as Thunderbolt, but coupled with the dark energy, it was extremely ferocious. Originally, Lightning Strike was used to whip and paralyze. Adding on the dark force, it caused the surrounding air to tremble and form into a completely vibration!
This Lightning Strike, Wrath Shock lashed onto the body of the quickest Dark Beast. The second the Dark Beast came in contact with the lightning, it had no way to move. A jolting pressure effect came along with the Lightning Strike as it shocked the Dark Beast multiple times!
It was like a thick indigo iron chain had slammed down heavily. The Dark Beast's body was instantly covered in series of scars. Once the Lightning Strike completely whipped over it, the Dark Beast was turned into mincemeat!
The only smell was the fresh tang of ozone from the aftershock. This Dark Beast had been turned into mincemeat only twenty meters away from Zhang Lulu. The atmosphere was still trembling a little, and Zhang Lulu's heart was unable to calm down.
This… was this still Primary Lightning Magic, a Lightning Strike?
A Lightning Strike, even a third level one ,could at most cause some damage to a Dark Beast. People had to take the opportunity when they were paralyzed to use another magic to inflict serious damage on them…
However, the Lightning Strike used by Mofan was different from that used by the other Lightning students, including Xu Zhaoting!
His Lightning was indigo!
His Lightning carried a power that shook even the air, it was an incredibly strong pressure. Originally, it was just some normal Lightning Strike, but it had turned into some heavy chain-like thing that crushed the Dark Beast's body, killing it just like that!
Qianjun...
When he used his Lightning Strike, he did say that.
Could it be that his Lightning is no longer the common grade??
Strong!
This Great Demon that once received the worst reputation in a stroke at the Rookie Competition was actually this powerful! Those dreadful Servant-class Magical Beasts were just like children in his eyes, he only needed to use Primary Magic to completely whip them to death!
"Qianjun…"
While Zhang Lulu's heart was billowing, Mo Fan once again drew a Lightning Star Atlas.
This Star Atlas's speed was relatively fast, and didn't seem to have been affected by the continuous assault of the numerous Dark Beasts.
An ominous noise was heard once more, as this time Mo Fan used his Spirit grade Lightning Seed on his Intermediate Lightning Magic.
Primary magic with his Qianjun Lightning Seed could already kill a Dark Beast, then what about an even stronger Intermediate Magic? Coupled with the effects of Qianjun, what kind of might would that be?
Qianjun
Thunderbolt
Yaksha!
An indigo-hued Nebula began to condense.
The indigo bolt struck down without pause…
When it reached halfway down, it split into several Lightning branches equally strong...
From a place not too far away, the slowly flowing Huangpu river reflected this incredible destructive dance. That was an indigo Cross Lightning; thick, irascible, and carrying a strong aura of death!
BOOM!
_______________
Ed. Note: Although I bow my head to the moment of awesome, I am wondering why the Four Stooges are just sitting around and letting him cast without using spells themselves...
Chapter 223 - Not a Single One Remains!
The trembling carried through the air. When the Lightning Yaksha forked into five branches and landed, it did not just hit its five objectives. In the areas where the Thunderbolt Yaksha landed arose a powerful pressure.
Whether it was those who were directly hit by the Thunderbolt Yaksha, or those who were standing near the area of Qianjun's domain, the little Dark Beasts had no way to survive. The difference in the former and latter was that the former was turned into countless droplets of blood steam. The latter was merely directly turned into minced meat. Who knows which one suffered more pain before they died.
His Qianjun Thunderbolt Yaksha's might was much greater than that of a Common grade Lightning Seed. The remaining Dark Beasts seemed to have all died from the explosion of the Intermediate Lightning Magic…
One of them seemed to have good luck, only its legs had been completely shattered. Unfortunately for it, it just happened to get stomped on by the Spirit Wolf.
The Spirit Wolf slowly bit this Dark Beast to death. Perhaps this Dark Beast that was being chewed on was regretting why it didn't just get killed along with its group. Instead, it was tormented for half a minute for no particular reason except a Spirit Wolf's curiosity...
In just a moment, all of the Dark Beasts had been completely cleaned out. Just a while ago, Mo Fan was the prey of these people. However, he had immediately turned into a murderous Lightning Death God.
One had to know that it wouldn't be much of a problem for these Dark Beasts to deal with two or three Intermediate Magicians. They were crafty, fast, and they knew how to attack as a team. Although Intermediate Magicians were indeed impressive, they still couldn't deal with a group of these kind of creatures attacking them from all directions.
After these Dark Beasts had been turned into blood and meat chunks, the four disciples of the Black Vatican realized that the objective they were supposed to catch was not a simple sheep, he was a savage tiger!
Their strengths were on a completely different level!
This was completely different from the information given to them from the student concealed within the school!
"Re...retreat!" Hui San's face had already turned pale. He turned around and started to run.
"Split up!" Hui Er could still be considered relatively calm as he advised his three companions.
The four of them knew they couldn't handle Mo Fan, and so they began to run in four different directions...
Mo Fan swept across them with his gaze. Beneath his feet was an intertwining Star Path that wasn't very clear nor bright.
"You go pursue that one." Mo Fan pointed at the grey person that was running toward the riverbank as he spoke to the Spirit Wolf.
The Spirit Wolf immediately began to chase in the direction Mo Fan was pointing in. The Spirit Wolf didn't even need to use its burst speed. The Spirit Wolf thought there was no way he could not outrun a slow human with two legs with his own four legs. How about biting off a leg once I've caught up and then see how much further he can run?
Mo Fan wasn't in a hurry to pursue them. That was because the shadow beneath his foot had turned into a mysterious Star Atlas, a strange dark aura beginning to grow from it.
"Go!"
As Mo Fan pushed out with his hand, a gigantic Shadow Needle noiselessly began to fly out from the center of his c.h.e.s.t.
He couldn't see this shadow energy flying in the air, however. In the reflections in the windows in the factory, he could make out from the safety lamps that there was something sharp flying over.
In the next second, Hui Si, who was in the middle of running, came to an abrupt stop. His running movement and his inability to move an inch of his body formed an extremely strange posture. It looked extremely odd!
Hui Si's complexion turned pale as he looked back. He suddenly realized that the shadow beneath his body had a gigantic spike sticking through it like a sword.
Following this, a shadowy gas began to emerge from the surroundings of his body, and this dark mist began to circle around him. It caused his restrictions to become even tighter, as if even his consciousness had received an attack!
"Everyone must die!"
Mo Fan didn't even look at the person whose shadow was being controlled before his body sank into the shadows.
A shadow began to quickly move through the pitch black factory. A few seconds later, the shadows emerged in front of the calmest disciple of Black Vatican.
Hui Er ran with his life at stake. Originally, he wanted to turn around to see whether that ferocious death god was chasing him or not, and instead, he nearly crashed into the scary death god.
"Fire Burst, Burning Bones!"
A ball of flames suddenly condensed in his palm, Mo Fan threw it right into the front of Hui Er's c.h.e.s.t from a close distance.
The flames touched Hui Er and quickly covered his body.
Hui Er's clothes were completely burned away. While it was burning his flesh, increasingly more dreadful flames began to invade the inside of his body.
Even his bones that shouldn't be burned were turned into ashes. The flames of Burning Bones burned both the inside and the outside. If Mo Fan was specifically controlling the temperature, he could increase the heat of the flames by a lot…
If he was lenient toward those from the Black Vatican, then he'd be disrespecting those who had died by their hands!
Mo Fan turned around as he ignored the screams coming from the burning Hui Er behind him. His eyes fixed on Hui Wu, who took this opportunity to run away.
This Hui Wu ran pretty fast. He was a Wind Magician, Mo Fan could see a long wind tunnel behind him as he fled for his life.
Whooooosh~
Fierce flames began to scuttle forth from beneath Mo Fan's feet again. Mo Fan's entire person looked like a fiery demon. Although there was an incredibly hot fire engulfing his whole body, he still seemed so calm!
---
Hui Wu run with his life at stake.
No one knew that while he was a Wind student at Pearl Institute, he had always been a loyal follower of the Black Vatican.
Although he could not receive resources, he had always hoped to receive more power. The Black Vatican was able to give him even more power...
Although he had run pretty far, Hui Wu still had some lingering fear. He already knew of the great strength Mo Fan possessed during the Rooke Competition, but who knew that was only the tip of the iceberg?
He didn't understand how a person who already had a Summoning and Lightning Element would also have Shadow abilities. This information had to be quickly given to the great Deacon!
Suddenly, he heard a voice rising ominously behind him.
"Fiery Flames, Exploding Heavens!"
Hui Wu turned around… eye-piercing red flames! He could only see the furious red flames that were coming for him!
The flames were extremely large, in the form of a gigantic fist raging out from the shabby factory. Even though he was so far from it, the power of the fist of flames did not diminish at all!
Hui Wu wanted to use his Wind Trail to change direction. The heatwave caused his skin to nearly melt while the gigantic fist began to expand in size. Even if he wanted to hide from it, there was no way he could-!
When the powerful flames exploded, Hui Wu's entire being was engulfed…
At close range, the Fiery Fist was able to turn a creature into black powder. The temperature of the flames after a distance was not as high. However, it was still very much capable of turning a Primary Magician into a black carcass!
Hui Wu thought that if he could run far away, then he would be able to avoid it. However, he never imagined that the demon from the campus actually possessed the power of Fire...
Hui Wu fell to the ground with flames raging around his body, his face charred beyond recognition and stamped with an expression of disbelief.
What he would never understood was how this Intermediate Magician could actually possess magic from four different Elements...
Chapter 224 - Killing Someone in Your Spare Time
"I beg of you, please let me go… I was forced to do this, I…" While he was stuck with the giant shadow spike, Hui Si couldn't help but kneel down before Mo Fan and beg for his pathetic life.
Four Elements, it really was four Elements! This objective had a total of four Elemental magicks! The great Deacon did tell them that this objective was an Innate Dual Element...
If he used common sense, then the other party would Awaken one more Element when they reached the Intermediate level. He should only have three Elements!
However, four Elements…
How could there be trust between humans now?
Mo Fan wouldn't talk smack with these domesticated slaves. He glanced at the Spirit Wolf, whose jaws still showed fresh blood, and said indifferently, "Here's your midnight snack."
The Spirit Wolf hadn't had its fill yet, and it knew that this follower of the Black Vatican was currently being controlled by the Giant Shadow Spike, and unable to make a move. It was just thinking about cleaning its teeth before, but then it realized that it would need to clean them again. Thus, it decided to first rip its meal apart and then slowly eat it...
Dark Beasts were too smelly, and were extremely hard to swallow. However, the flavor of the followers of the Black Vatican wasn't bad!
"Aaaa!" The miserable final cry of the last follower of the Black Vatican reverberated through the factory. Mo Fan had already walked out of the factory toward Zhang Lulu, who was still bleeding.
Mo Fan had seen Zhang Lulu before, she was the girlfriend of Xu Zhaoting. However, the current Zhang Lulu had already fainted. Originally, he wanted to ask her to keep the secret of his four Elements secret. However, it was clear that she already passed out by the time he had used the Fire Element.
Fortunately, Mo Fan always carried around some blood medicine. Although these blood medicines could not heal her, they could at least keep her alive.
First, he had to stop the bleeding. Mo Fan picked up Zhang Lulu and put her on the back of the Spirit Wolf that had just finished his midnight snack.
"We can head back," Mo Fan said to the Spirit Wolf. The Spirit Wolf spat out a bone, feeling very satisfied, before he carried Mo Fan and Zhang Lulu back toward the city.
The city had regulations against Summoned Beasts. When Mo Fan arrived at a place where there were people, he had to take a taxi. Fortunately, Zhang Lulu's life was no longer in danger, or else she would definitely have died from bleeding. The liquid from a Dark Beast's claw prevented blood from clotting.
After taking Zhang Lulu to the closest hospital and paying a considerable amount for the hospital fee, a Healing Magician finally arrived and healed her.
Zhang Lulu had lost a lot of blood, and wouldn't wake up in a little while. Mo Fan knew that the hospital was just as safe as the school, and so he left behind a contact number before he returned back to his apartment.
------
"Sister Mu, where do you think that Shadow Beast is hiding? We still have nothing on it, it's so troublesome!" Ai Tutu's voice was audible from outside the door.
Mo Fan opened the door and walked in. He didn't talk to the two girls, as he had too much on his mind. With a heavy heart, he walked up to his room.
The two girls stopped their discussion for a while. After Mo Fan got to the second floor and closed the door to his own room, the two finally glanced at one another.
"Why didn't you say anything, are you against his personality? And he didn't even peek at Sister Mu's t.h.i.g.hs this time…" Ai Tutu muttered.
"What nonsense are you saying!" Mu Nujiao was a bit embarrassed. Why did this little brat keep running her mouth off like that?
"Didn't you see that there was some tawny color on his clothes, it seemed to be dried blood," Ai Tutu noted.
Mu Nujiao didn't say a word. Based on the hint from before, he must've experienced a fight. The big bloodstain was relatively eye-catching.
Just where did this guy go, and why was he covered in so much blood?
"Could it be that this Great Demon likes to kill people in his spare time? That blood clearly wasn't his!" Ai Tutu said.
Mu Nujiao didn't want to randomly guess. However, she began to think about it.
------
In a long alley, the few lamps seemed to be only able to illuminate the surrounding ten meters.
On the green stone walls were a few wooden doors of the old style. Suddenly, one of the doors slowly opened, followed by a stinky creature crawling along on four limbs quickly charging in. It seemed to be carrying a living person, as well.
After this, a grey cloaked man walked inside. Before he entered, he made sure to check the alley to make sure no one was following him.
Inside the place was an old courtyard. There were trees there that no longer had any leaves on them.
The courtyard was very messy, no one had cleaned the place. Standing on the staircase that led toward the old house was a man wearing half a mask. In his hand was something similar to a whip he used to lash the couple of disobedient Dark Beasts at his side, their flesh already lacerated from the punishment.
