Versatile Mage c1-2021, page 63
Beneath the warm glow of Healing, his drowsy feeling from before had also vanished. It was clear that other than restoring his wounds, Healing was also able to replenish lost blood to a certain degree.
This event made Mo Fan extremely happy. He never thought that his precious little Xinxia would have such an incomparable ability. If she was brought to the Safety Shelters, then Ye Xinxia would instantly become a very important person. After all, there was not a single medicine or method that could possibly be better than Ye Xinxia’s ability to heal wounds!
“Xinxia, how strong is the effect of your Healing? If you were to use Healing right after someone had their throat severed, would you be able to save them?” Mo Fan asked excitedly.
Ye Xinxia shook her head. “Healing is useless if your life is taken instantly.”
“Oh, oh… This is already very impressive!” Mo Fan nodded.
The veteran hunters, those who frequently fought Magical Beasts out in the wild, knew something: What truly killed you was not necessarily the attacks of a Magical Beast, but the acc.u.mulated wounds on your body.
Wounds could bleed, get infected, worsen, and if you didn’t get your injuries checked in time, then it was the equivalent of your life chipping away. Other than rations and water, the large majority of the veterans would bring medicine. Unfortunately, the effects of the medicine were far too slow, and were unable to keep up with the veterans who were always battling...
If the squad had a Healing Magician, then this would no longer be a problem. Sometimes, it would be even more useful than defensive Magic Equipment! It would also substantially decrease the mortality rate of the squads, especially the squads that went on long and difficult treks.
“Are there any other wounds?” Ye Xinxia cautiously inspected Mo Fan.
Her small hands swept past Mo Fan’s flesh without even touching his skin. The small wounds on his body instantly healed, including the bruises, bumps, and splash wounds. This miraculous event made Mo Fan also d.e.s.i.r.e this type of ability!
Not long after this, Mo Fan was completely healed. Despite the ragged clothes on his body, there were no bruises to be seen, and even his scars had completely disappeared!
“Haha, so it turns out my Xinxia is this amazing! Say, how about we start a clinic for removing scars, who knows how much money we would be able to make…” Mo Fan couldn’t help but say.
Ye Xinxia gave him a supercilious look.
Mo Fan also felt that he was being a bit imm.a.t.u.r.e. In any case, they were both divine Magicians now.
With his wounds no longer a burden, Mo Fan felt very comfortable.
After gathering his spirit, Mo Fan pleasantly discovered the Magic Energy within his Nebula had also restored itself a little!
In this case, it meant he was still able to use Intermediate-level Magic, and that would mean the Magical Beasts wouldn’t be able to stop him!

Chapter 118 - Warriors of Bo City
After pushing Xinxia out of the shopping mall in her wheelchair, Mo Fan saw the few remaining Black Beasts, who were crawling around in pain.
The corpses of three of them were in many parts, it looked like they had been ripped apart by other creatures. Fortunately, the ones that had survived the fall were able to jump to another location. However, these kinds of Magical Beasts that had sustained great damage were even more tasty than humans to other Magical Beasts. They would probably be eaten if they were to walk away.
Outside of the city, the Magical Beasts would attempt to kill each other. This was because a Magical Beast’s body emits an energy that was similar to a Magic Stone. Due to this reason, there were many Magical Beasts who would fight to death in order to obtain the carcass of a creature of a higher level.
“We have to get to the Jiamei highway, that way it will be much safer for us to get to the Safety Shelters,” Mo Fan told Xinxia.
“Mhm,” Xinxia nodded. However, her face displayed a trace of worry.
Mo Fan smiled slightly as he said to Xinxia, “Don’t worry, we won’t encounter any Magical Beasts.”
Xinxia looked at Mo Fan in confusion.
_This area is clearly surrounded by Magical Beasts, so why did he say we won’t encounter any? Aren’t those words of consolation a bit too far-fetched?_
---
Mo Fan pushed Xinxia along the avenue.
He would sometimes walk, and sometimes stop. Sometimes, he would suddenly increase their speed, and other times, he would find a place to hide...
However, his seemingly strange actions allowed them to avoid the wandering Magical Beasts in the surroundings. This made Xinxia think someone was giving Mo Fan directions through the use of a satellite.
As they continued walking, there was indeed not a single problem. Occasionally, there would be a few Magical Beasts appearing. However, it looked as though they were frightened of something, and thus decided to turn around and leave.
This was all seen by Xinxia. After continuously moving down the street for a long time, she couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Mo Fan, why does it look like they’re actually afraid of you, instead?”
Indeed, even when these wandering Magical Beasts saw them, they would intentionally avoid the pair. This did not conform to the typical traits of a Magical Beast, who would try to eat everything they met. Furthermore, Xinxia was able to see traces of fear within the eyes of those Magical Beasts.
“That is because they aren’t stupid. They were able to sense that I’m stronger from the aura emitted from my body,” Mo Fan said with a smile.
“Your aura is stronger than theirs?” Xinxia lowered her head and thought it over. A few seconds later, she suddenly came to a realization before an emotional smile appeared on her pretty face. “Brother Mo Fan, you are already… you’re already an Intermediate Magician?”
“That’s right, hahaha! If these little Magical Beasts don’t form a group, then they’d be sending themselves over to die!” Mo Fan gave her a splendid smile.
The difference between Primary and Intermediate Magician was like heaven and earth. When he entered the shopping mall, he was cautious and advanced gradually, as he was afraid of alarming any Magical Beasts.
Now, Mo Fan was able to leisurely walk in front of them, and they would not dare to do anything to him. If they did anything, then he’d be able to kill them in just a single move.
Naturally, Mo Fan would not personally go and look for trouble.
The truth was, he had not completed his Intermediate Magic. The reason he was able to cast the Intermediate-grade Magic was because of the four Star Atlas Books given to him by the great beauty, Mrs. Tangyue.
Mo Fan had already used two books, and his hands were currently holding the other two Star Atlas Books. This meant he was only capable of using Intermediate Magic twice from now on, and furthermore, the consumption of Magic Energy was high. Thus, Mo Fan would also not purposely provoke them.
“I see. In that case, Brother Mo Fan’s perception has also gotten much stronger?” Xinxia happily asked.
“Yes, I am able to sense any activity of Magical Beast in the surroundings, even if they are two streets away,” Mo Fan confirmed.
Intermediate Magicians possessed the ability of perception. This kind of perception was not only able to quickly sense the activity in their surroundings, but was also able to quickly feel fluctuations of energy.
If someone tried to mount a sneak attack, then they’d be within the scope of an Intermediate Magician’s perception. This allowed the Intermediate Magicians to immediately counter such attacks.
This made them much stronger than a Primary Magician!
Xinxia’s joy was displayed on her face. Her rosy face coupled with excitement made her extremely adorable, and made Mo Fan want to give her a kiss.
As Xinxia was about to say something, she suddenly found Mo Fan creasing his brow as his entire person seemed to become increasingly solemn.
“What’s wrong?” Xinxia whispered.
“Shit, don’t tell me there really is a group of Magical Beasts coming for me, let’s hide first!” Mo Fan cursed.
Mo Fan hurriedly pushed Xinxia toward a building.
Without listening to Xinxia, Mo Fan directly carried her as he quickly ran toward the top of the building.
Usually, Mo Fan would definitely smell the fragrance from Xinxia’s body, and take advantage of her waist or something. But Mo Fan didn’t dare to let his imagination roam at this moment, as he sensed a large group of Magical Beasts in the vicinity.
These Magical Beasts were running, their movements were extremely fast. By the time Mo Fan had gotten to the inside of the building, he was able to hear the rumbling noise that came from the streets far away.
Mo Fan carried Xinxia as he ran to the fifth floor. He was able to see an uncountable number of Magical Beasts in the street next to them from the window!
One-eyed Magic Wolves, Colossal-eyed Ape Rats; these malevolent things were like a tide as they quickly filled the streets. Furthermore, they looked as though they were frantically chasing something.
As Ye Xinxia was being carried by Mo Fan, she also did not dare to take any deep breaths.
She was also able to sense the torrential aura of the Magical Beasts engulfing the place. If they were discovered, then even if Mo Fan was an Intermediate Magician, they would also be engulfed by this tide of Magical Beasts.
“It’s the Instructors!” Mo Fan finally saw a group of people who were running frantically.
On the street, Instructor Luo Yunbo was flying by using Wind Trail, and the person he was dragging along was precisely the female Instructor, Pan Lijun.
The other Battlemage was also fleeing on the other street. Guiding these fleeing people was precisely the Captain of the Hunter Squad, Xu Dahuang.
From Mo Fan’s location, he was able to see Mingwen Girls Middle School. As he looked that way, he discovered that there was a massive collapse of the school building, especially around the cafeteria. There was no longer any trace of the cafeteria or the playground, it had turned into a large crater.
“They succeeded!” Mo Fan was ecstatic.
The Magical Beast’s entrance inside the Mingwen District was extremely large. If they were able to destroy it, then it could be considered as stopping the advance of the Magical Beast horde, and Bo City could be considered saved!
What about Officer Cheng?
Mo Fan quickly noticed that this person was nowhere to be seen. It appeared as if these four being chased were all that remained. Furthermore, it was clear that Luo Yunbo and Pan Lijun had been surrounded by the Magical Beasts, and they would definitely be engulfed by the Magical Beasts very soon.
_They all died?_
Mo Fan’s face revealed helplessness.
This was indeed a mission you didn’t return from; even Officer Cheng, an Intermediate Magician, died in that place.
“Xinxia, let’s go to the roof…” Mo Fan carried Xinxia as he walked toward the roof of the building.
They were the warriors of Bo City; no matter what happened, Mo Fan couldn’t just sit there and watch them die!

Chapter 119 - A Fist Dropping from the Heavens!
.
.
.
As evening approached, Bo City was still shrouded in a dim layer of mist.
Usually, there’d be shining lights in Bo City around this time. Now, other than the misty drizzles within the dull gray area, there were the non-stop growls and roars coming from around the city. This made the survivors wonder whether this was a city for humans to live in, or just a hunting ground for the Magical Beasts?
In Mingwen, there were corpses lying everywhere in the area, making it look inescapable. Every second, there were people being dragged out of their hiding places, and quickly becoming food in the bellies of the invading Magical Beasts.
Just at this moment, as the sunset left a ray of dim light through the dark night, many hordes of Magical Beasts were rampaging through the streets. They were extremely furious because a group of cursed humans had destroyed their precious passageway!
There were still many Magical Beasts who had yet to taste this the beautiful gourmet dish called humans. Their passageway into the city was unexpectedly destroyed before they were able to completely conquer this place...
The Magical Beasts nearby were angry, frantically hunting down those humans who had destroyed the passageway. They definitely would not take a step back from this matter, even if there was an Intermediate Magician amongst the humans.
That relatively powerful human had already been killed by them, leaving behind four people who were fleeing like rats.
------
“Yunbo, forget it. We can’t run anymore.” Pan Li Jun looked sadly at Luo Yunbo, who was using all of his energy to run away, her face resigned.
She was prepared to never return the moment she had joined the mission squad.
With the entry tunnel destroyed, along with the sacrifice of Officer Cheng, how could mere Primary Magicians possibly escape from the pursuit of the Magical Beasts?
“What stupid talk, their speed can’t match mine. Believe me, we will definitely escape!” Luo Yunbo cursed.
Luo Yunbo hadn’t given up yet. There was no officer who wasn’t afraid of dying, they were just more resolute compared to common people. They would not hesitate if there came a time where they had to sacrifice themselves.
The mission was complete. Officer Cheng used his very last magic to open up a passage for them in hope that they wouldn’t give up.
Life was precious. Tens of thousands of people had already died in Bo City. Luo Yunbo grew up in this city, and didn’t wish to see any more casualties. Furthermore, he didn’t want to see his comrade Pan Lijun fall into the jaws of the Magical Beasts.
In short, he wouldn’t give up. He wanted to live. He still wanted to see Boss Zhankong’s glorious return with the Darkwing Wolf’s head. He wanted to see every one of the Magical Beasts banished from Bo City. Furthermore, he wanted to see Bo City’s rapid restoration to its old peaceful days, with no miserable shrieks nor sounds of cries...
Luo Yunbo didn’t want to die, he also wouldn’t allow Pan Lijun to give up like this!
“Ah Woo, Ah Woo~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”
Suddenly, there were six One-eyed Magic Wolves blocking Luo Yunbo and Pan Lijun’s escape route at the intersection ahead.
On this long road, there was no other alley to use. There were hundreds of Magical Beasts chasing behind them, and these two people simply couldn’t push through with their insignificant strength. There were even six One-eyed Magic Wolves in front cutting off their last way out.
Pan Lijun displayed traces of relief on her face. She didn’t want to put up a pointless struggle. She was going to die either way, and she felt that it was pointless for her to live in this world by herself.
Luo Yunbo was not resigned to his fate!
Even if there were hundreds of Magical Beasts chasing them, they could only dream of catching up to him, unless there was a Warrior-class Magical Beast amongst them.
They would still have had a chance at survival after they passed this long street. Unfortunately, there were six wandering Magical Beasts here. It was clear that they were called by their packmates to block this route.
_I won’t give up! If I was just a little bit stronger, the result would’ve been completely different..._
Luo Yunbo swept his surroundings in hopes of finding a chance at survival. Alas nothing was there. However, he didn’t know why there was the glow of flames on the roof of a building…
---
“Burn!”
Within the dark night, a fire like a falling meteor dazzled Lou Yunbo’s eyes, it was brimming with the aura of destruction.
_That fist would surely be my, the great Mo Fan’s, Fiery Fist!_
Fiery Fist!!!!!!
Day and night had practically reached a boundary point at this moment. At this exact moment, a fiery blaze began to illuminate the entire shadowed street area from the roof of a building.
With his entire body covered in flames, he stood on the corner of the roof, looking like a crazed Blaze Demon. Standing on top of the city, the fire blazed in the dark night as a wave of heat heavily slapped onto everything.
The air temperature had nearly achieved the point of combustion. As Mo Fan frantically brandished his Fiery Fist, the gigantic fist of flames broke through the dark night like a power resisting the god of darkness.
The surroundings had been lit up brightly. That gigantic fist of flames had even evolved into a burning meteor. It beautifully flew past a few buildings, heading straight toward the crossroad!!!!
_Peng!!! Peng!!! Peng!!!!!!!_
That fist of flames was born to destroy. Those six greedy One-eyed Magic Wolves never imagined that flames would come down from the sky, just like a giant heavily throwing his punch on them. The One-eyed Magic Wolves were fl.u.s.tered as they attempted to escape, but it was too late. They still were engulfed by the wave of flames.
At the intersection where the humongous fist of flames landed, a massive fiery crater suddenly appeared. Those six One-eyed Magic Wolves that had blocked the path of Luo Yunbo and Pan Lijun were burned into ash, along with some fleeing piteously.
“This…..” Luo Yunbo and Pan Lijun were shocked.
It was like a blessing from the heavens, a fist of flames suddenly saved them at the moment they were stepping into the gates of hell. Their current emotions could not be described with mere words.
Luo Yunbo’s reaction was very fast, he cast Wind Trail once again to flee with Pan Lijun. When passing by that massive hole, Luo Yunbo couldn’t help but turn around to see where the bright flames came from.
_The shadow in flames…_
_Why did it look so familiar? Why did it look like Mo Fan, who had gone off to find his relative?_
