Versatile Mage c1-2021, page 455
"Phew~" Mo Fan breathed heavily, his body was scorching hot.
Asha'ruiya was embarrassed too. She lowered her head slightly. Her face turned extremely red and her breathing intensified.
"Err, you should turn around, or I won't be able to move past you," he said with an awkward expression, blushing too.
Mo Fan moved back slightly and waited until Asha'ruiya had turned around to face the wall.
As she leaned against the wall, her slender waist and back did not take up much space, but her firm bottom immediately stuck out in front of Mo Fan. He could already feel the blood running in his nose, as his mind was fully occupied with the imagination of him grabbing the woman's waist with both hands!
"Go on!" Asha'ruiya snapped, yet to Mo Fan, it sounded as if she was looking forward to it.
Mo Fan was sticking his back to the other wall, yet he was still having trouble passing her. It eventually turned into another accident. Somehow, something as insignificant as changing places had turned into a wild, peculiar situation with sweat pouring down like rain. After all, since Asha'ruiya was sticking close to the wall, it was easier for Mo Fan's upper body to move past her. Unfortunately, Mo Fan had increased the difficulty of moving past the woman with his lower body. In the end, Mo Fan and little Mo Fan had to force their way through the tiny space available.
He made it at last!
Despite Asha'ruiya's appearance of a saintess and her other-worldly temperament, she did not seem to be too obsessed with avoiding accidental touches with men like the women in most novels and television dramas. It took Mo Fan by surprise, as even an open-minded women would not be pleased with the encounter.
Asha'ruiya did not show any reaction. She seemed rather calm, apart from the redness on her face that was slowly disappearing.
Mo Fan did not cross the line just because she was not enraged. He did admit that the touches were not just purely accidental...
He quickly placed his attention on the Lightning Tyrant, since he was also extremely interested in it.
---
Asha'ruiya stood behind Mo Fan. She was staring at the man who had placed his full attention on the Lightning Tyrant, his face expressionless.
In order to prevent the Mountain Titan and the Wind Flame Lightning Vultures from noticing their presence, the Dark Formation was still active. On top of that, they had to restrain themselves from using any active magic, as the energy ripples would immediately expose them. Otherwise, Mo Fan could easily use the Fleeing Shadow to move forward...
After hesitating for a long time, Asha'ruiya gave up the thought of withdrawing the Dark Formation's coverage from Mo Fan.
"He is still useful to me, he is still useful to me, he is still useful to me..."
Asha'ruiya took a deep breath. Her c.h.e.s.t pulsated heavily as she kept repeating the same words under her breath, as if she was trying to remind herself to be rational and forgiving… she was definitely not in a rush to slaughter this jerk who dared rub his filthy little toy against her bottom!

As Asha'ruiya mentioned, a Soul-grade Lightning Seed like the Lightning Tyrant had its own consciousness. One could say that it had its own soul.
That soul was the source of the Lightning Tyrant's Domain.
Lightning kept on striking the top of the mountain, and the energy of the lightning would eventually flow into this crack and be absorbed by the lightning orb.
Mo Fan tried guiding the lightning orb into his body, but he soon realized how strong the energy was. He could feel his body going numb from the strong electric current. It took quite some time for him to recover his senses.
Mo Fan kept on trying. This time, he tried to approach the lightning orb gently.
However, Mo Fan soon felt a wild energy with a hint of disdain surging in his direction, as if it was trying to say, Are you, a mere human, really thinking of taking away my power?
If the orb was being gentle, Mo Fan would simply respond violently, and if the orb was violent, he would be even more violent!
When Mo Fan discovered that the Soul-grade Lightning Seed was trying to challenge him, he gladly accepted the challenge. It was obvious that the Lightning Tyrant was being extremely arrogant, but it did not seem that treating the Lightning Tyrant gently was useful in subduing it. Mo Fan would simply subdue the Lightning Tyrant with brute force! It was like he was trying to turn a female tyrant with thorns all over her into an obedient empress!
"Surprise, it's my demon flesh!" Mo Fan did not back off. He rose again whenever he fell, each time fiercer than he was before.
Due to the outstanding physical attributes he had gained from the Demon Element, Mo Fan was not afraid to be rejected by the lightning. He soon got used to it after many attempts. Any other Lightning Mages would have given up by now.
Mo Fan had tried twenty times, yet the lightning was still unwilling to give up. It was easily the most stubborn little woman that Mo Fan had ever seen, yet Mo Fan liked it even more the more it struggled, as he would feel a greater sense of achievement after subduing it. It would then accompany him as he proceeded to conquer the world!
---
"Is this guy invulnerable to lightning?" Asha'ruiya stood there and watched Mo Fan keep ramming into the lightning orb like a mad man after being electrocuted many times.
Normally, a Lightning Mage of his level had no chance of enduring the Soul-grade Lightning Seed's power!
Doing something the dumb way was sometimes the most efficient way. After twenty-four attempts, Mo Fan discovered that the Lightning Tyrant did not reject him as strongly as it did at the beginning. Mo Fan could not tell if it was because he had gotten used to the lightning, or the Lightning Tyrant had started to admire Mo Fan's courage...
"Alright, here we go!" Mo Fan started preparing himself for his last attempt by gathering the will of every one of his Elements to break down the Lightning Tyrant's defense. Mo Fan had overcome the Lightning Tyrant's defense, and all that was left was the purest energy inside!
Mo Fan was still feeling the Lightning Tyrant's electric shock. As Mo Fan opened up his Spiritual World, it provided the Lightning Tyrant a better environment to reside in. The Lightning Tyrant was tempted to relocate itself.
The infuriating cries of the Wind Flame Lightning Vultures came from outside the crack.
The Wind Flame Lightning Vultures clearly sensed the abnormal activity of the Lightning Tyrant. They started heading toward it, glaring at the human that had dared to plot against their treasure through the crack!
"Little Flame Belle, buy me some time!"
Mo Fan immediately summoned Little Flame Belle. He desperately needed someone to protect him now. He just needed a few more attempts to fully acquire the Lightning Tyrant. He only needed some time!
"I'll give you three more attempts! If you still can't get it, we'll need to leave right away!" Asha'ruiya said grimly.
Asha'ruiya had also summoned her Dark Swordmaster. The Dark Swordmaster's aura was nowhere as strong as the one that Mo Fan had fought against at the pyramid. It must be able to grow, just like Little Flame Belle...
Both Little Flame Belle and the Dark Swordmaster went out to engage the enemy. Luckily, five of the Wind Flame Lightning Vultures were still busy fighting the Mountain Titan. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold the line at all.
"Damn it! Come over here!" Mo Fan was running out of patience. However, it immediately triggered a stronger reaction from the Lightning Tyrant, and he simply failed the attempt.
"I am the king of Lightning!" Mo Fan had lightning surging all across his body. He no longer had the same patience, his body now full of energy that was on the verge of exploding. He felt enraged and out-of-control. His pupils started to emit a dark, blood-colored glow as he approached his limit!
The dark, blood-colored glow represented the Demon Element. It would start to go out of control when Mo Fan's life was being threatened, and would immediately replace Mo Fan's consciousness.
The dark, blood-colored glow burst out of Mo Fan's body. His eyes were bloodshot as the lightning arcs penetrated his body, tearing his clothes apart, revealing his firm, manly muscles!
Asha'ruiya opened her mouth wide standing behind him.
The resilience that the man had displayed was a lot more than she had imagined. His determination and d.e.s.i.r.e to become stronger gave him an unyielding spirit that was completely different than the lazy, indifferent attitude he normally showed!
Resilience! It was something that most Mages lacked!
"I'll buy you a few more minutes," Asha'ruiya said after she saw Mo Fan brawling with the lightning.
She started to lay down a formation, one that could normally only be set up and activated by more than ten people, yet she managed to construct it by herself...
"There's no need for that!" Mo Fan slowly turned around.
The lightning was flowing through his muscles on his arms, his c.h.e.s.t, his waist, and his legs as he stepped forward. Countless lightning arcs were surging wildly across the ground!
His bloodshot eyes slowly recovered. His pupils were dark and icy cold, as if they were affected by the Lightning Tyrant!
Asha'ruiya was a little lost in her thoughts. Not long ago, Mo Fan was just a shameless pervert in her mind, but now, he totally resembled an emperor who had just woken up inside the lightning, fully displaying his natural pride and arrogance between his brows.
"Con...congratulations!" Asha'ruiya murmured.
Mo Fan could not really stay n.a.k.e.d with a woman around. He Summoned out the Black Snake Armor. The expensive magic armor quickly wrapped around his body, which was still being refined by the lightning!
---
As they walked out from the mountain crack, Mo Fan saw Little Flame Belle fending off two Wind Flame Lightning Vultures. Her slender body was already covered in several wounds. The creatures were Commander-level, thus it was simply too tricky for her to take on both at once.
Meanwhile, Asha'ruiya's Dark Swordmaster was stronger than Mo Fan thought. It was facing three Wind Flame Lightning Vultures, and despite being in a disadvantageous position, it showed no sign of losing, either!
"It seems like the Mountain Titan has left," Asha'ruiya said.
Mo Fan looked around and saw the Mountain Titan being chased further away by the other four Wind Flame Lightning Vultures. It obviously had no intention to fight any further.
A dark lightning descended rapidly from the cloud above. It no longer landed inside the crack, but right on Mo Fan!
Dense lightning continued to flicker inside the black clouds, which eventually turned into black lightning strikes landing on Mo Fan continuously. Some came down like a plunging spear, some had the shape of forks. The lightning scattered across the clouds and the mountain, lighting their surroundings up.
When Mo Fan who was wearing the Black Snake Armor was struck by the lightning, dark snarls of lightning rapidly appeared around him and scattered in the air, with Mo Fan at the center. They lasted for a certain time, and so more of them continued to fill the air and eventually formed a sphere of lightning around him. The Lightning Element within ten kilometers had assembled like soldiers after being summoned...
"The Tyrant Domain!" Asha'ruiya blurted out when she saw the zone of lightning forming around Mo Fan.
The Tyrant Domain not only acc.u.mulated the Lightning Element, it would also attract any natural lightning within a few dozen kilometers to it...
Mount Tyrant was basically a lightning zone, with rapid lightning strikes coming down at the mountain all the time, shattering the rocks. However, the lightning strikes were all focusing on Mo Fan, turning him into an enormous storehouse of lightning!
"Sky Lightning Claw!"
Mo Fan clenched his hands into claws. A dark, lightning claw appeared above the clouds like a monstrous demon and grabbed at a Wind Flame Lightning Vulture that was attacking Little Flame Belle.
It was obvious that the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture had not cultivated the Lightning Element for long. The lightning claw of the Lightning Tyrant tore at the creature numerous times. Its feathers scattered in the air...
The injured Wind Flame Lightning Vulture spiraled away into a mountain valley, with yellow lightning arcs flickering on its body...
Suddenly, more bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere. Seven lightning bolts struck the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture that was falling in series. The creature immediately cried out in pain!
"Lightning Tyrant Scars!" Mo Fan was startled when he saw the lightning bolts following up the first attack.
He initially thought the Lightning Tyrant Scars would only summon a bolt of lightning to attack the creature. However, it turned out that the number of lightning bolts was proportional to the number of scars he inflicted on the target!
Furthermore, it turned out that he could also control the Lightning Tyrant Scars!
Mo Fan had not had many chances to use his Lightning Strike after it reached the fifth-tier.
Mo Fan immediately locked onto another Wind Flame Lightning Vulture and attacked it with a fifth-tier Lightning Strike. Hundreds of lightning arcs surged across the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture, leaving lots of Lightning Tyrant Scars on it!
However, the Lightning Strike was only a Basic Spell. Even a fifth-tier Lightning Strike was far from enough to harm a Wind Flame Lightning Vulture.
Mo Fan immediately cast a second Lightning Strike.
The second Lightning Strike left Lightning Tyrant Scars on the creature. When two scars were applied on the same target, it would trigger the Tyrant Call within the Tyrant Domain...
However, Mo Fan did not let the Tyrant Call take place.
He was planning to apply more Lightning Tyrant Scars to the creature before triggering the Tyrant Call!

"Release the lightning!"
Mo Fan released all the lightning he had just absorbed into his body. The lightning arcs lined up and surged forward like a moving carpet.
The Wind Flame Lightning Vulture had no room to escape. It cried out in pain when it was struck by the lightning arcs!
Mo Fan had released all the lightning energy he had stored up. The lightning arcs were fairly powerful, as the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture was struggling to get back up to its feet after suffering continuous attacks!
Most importantly, the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture was covered in lots of Lightning Tyrant Scars. Mo Fan only needed a single thought to trigger them. The scars immediately shone with a brilliant yellow light!
A yellow lightning dragon tore the night sky in half as it plunged down from the layer of black clouds. The dragon was long and unstoppable too. It was heading straight for the Wind Flame Lightning Vulture!
The Wind Flame Lightning Vulture had yet to recover from the previous lightning shocks when the Tyrant Call triggered by dozens of Lightning Tyrant Scars descended from the sky and knocked it into a scorched-black hole. It felt like its body was on the verge of collapsing!
Asha'ruiya was dumbfounded upon seeing this.
The Lightning Tyrant seemed to be stronger than she had imagined, especially with how the Lightning Tyrant Scars could be stacked up before triggering the Tyrant Call, even summoning a yellow lightning dragon to punish the target!
If more than thirty Lightning Tyrant Scars were stacked on the same target, the damage of the Tyrant Call would be comparable to an Advanced Lightning Spell. The Wind Flame Lightning Vulture was already suffering severe injuries from the previous lightning shock. It was basically half-dead after being struck by the Tyrant Call!
The Wind Flame Lightning Vulture was already at its limit. It beat its wings, trying to run away and regroup with its comrades.
Mo Fan grinned when he saw the Commander-level creature trying to run away. He felt like he had an endless supply of lightning inside his body, which he could free control with his will!
"Don't overstay, we'll be in trouble if the big Wind Flame Lightning Vulture comes back!" Asha'ruiya warned him.
"Mmm!" Mo Fan nodded. He had acquired the Soul-grade Lightning Seed, thus it was no longer necessary to tangle with the Wind Flame Lightning Vultures any further. There were nine of them in total. Without the Mountain Titan's help, they would have trouble handling them!
"This way!" Asha'ruiya suddenly pointed at the crack.
"Didn't we just come out from there?" Mo Fan was stunned.
"Enough talking, come in quick," Asha'ruiya said.
As they were talking, a fiery tornado connecting the clouds and the mountain was forming in the air. The overwhelming presence of the fiery tornado was quite intimidating!
The huge Wind Flame Lightning Vulture had returned. Mo Fan did not think he was unbeatable just because he had acquired the Soul-grade Seed. The combined firepower of nine Wind Flame Lightning Vultures was pretty terrifying!
Asha'ruiya called the Dark Swordmaster back. Mo Fan also withdrew Little Flame Belle into his Contracted Space as they continued along the path. Mo Fan finally realized something when they reached where the Lightning Tyrant was located previously. It turned out that the spot they had found the lightning orb at was not the end. There was still a long, narrow path after it, leading to a cave.
Mo Fan was curious as he followed Asha'ruiya. How did she know there was a path here?
Besides, if she was planning to come here, it simply meant she had to take care of the Lightning Tyrant, too. He had done her a favor by clearing it, and even paid her money!
However, on second thought, without Asha'ruiya's help, he wouldn't have been able to find the Lightning Tyrant, either...
