Versatile Mage

The security was tight. Even the simple openings guarded by sentries were protected by magic formations. If anyone came close to them, the sentries would be alerted immediately.

It was why they had struggled to find a way into the city, but Mo Fan could not care less anymore. He could only hope that Apas was still alive. He had no choice but to break into the city by force!

It was like a piercing note produced by string instruments. When Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Heidi crossed the formation, it immediately sounded the alarm. White rays of light shone down at Mo Fan and the others from different directions. The light was so bright that it was difficult to see their surroundings clearly.

“Intruders!”

“Prepare to engage the enemy!”

Patrols came very quickly. Several Mages rode huge birds assigned to them as mounts. They flew from the watchtowers with glaring eyes!

“Tell us who you are immediately, or we will cast destructive spells at you!” a captain riding an enormous red bird in the air shouted at them.

“Tell you my ass!” Mo Fan was completely driven by anger. He insisted on breaking through forcibly.

He ignited his hand and tossed the flame into the sky.

Mo Fan was extremely quick at casting Basic Spells. As soon as the first spell rose into the sky, the second, third, and fourth followed immediately! The Fire Bursts formed a long spray of fireballs!

The fireballs exploded in the sky. The explosions knocked the patrols around and completely disrupted their formation. One of them even fell from the sky.

The feathers of the enormous red birds were set aflame. The flames of the explosions scattered in the air, making it difficult for the patrols to cast their magic.

“Chaos Vortex!”

The blinding light severely limited their vision, and their location was completely exposed. Heidi used her Chaos Magic to absorb the white light.

The white light was further enchanted by the Chaos Element. When the vortex spun in the opposite direction, it fired rays of light that were even brighter back at the sentries. They suddenly had no targets to cast their spells on after the light blinded them, or if they had moved. They might even accidentally cast the spells at their allies!

“This way!” Mu Bai led the way. He had Summoned a rapid-flowing tide under his feet. The tide was carrying him right toward the wall ahead.

There were around thirty Battlemages on the wall, but their cultivation was not very impressive. They did not stand a chance against the huge tide that Mu Bai had Summoned. They quickly fled to the sides, and did not even dare to connect their Star Orbits.

When the tide almost reached the wall, Mu Bai dropped down from it with a backflip. The enormous tide rammed into the wall like a fierce beast.

The watchtowers were knocked to the ground by the ferocious tide. It even caught a few soldiers that were too slow.

“Attack!” a commander among the soldiers yelled. Flames of different sizes appeared around Mu Bai before the tide completely dissipated.

The flames mainly consisted of Fire Bursts, supplemented by quite a number of Fiery Fists. The trajectory of the flames was obvious since it was nighttime, and their numbers were overwhelming.

“Frost Mirror!” Mu Bai uttered, slowly lifting his hands. Thick mirrors of ice formed in the air around him spreading across the area. They did not look sturdy, but the mirrors at different distances and heights started spinning in a counter-clockwise motion. They blocked the flames pouring down from different angles. Not even the slightest wisp managed to land on Mu Bai!

“Stay close to me, we shouldn’t waste too much time fighting them!” Mu Bai said.

Mo Fan saw Mu Bai clearing the path after he took out the Mages in the sky. He immediately turned into a shadow bird to catch up to him.

“There’s a squad ahead,” Mo Fan noticed another squad standing behind the fallen wall. It felt like they had been here all along, waiting for intruders.

“Wind Mages,” Heidi could sense a strong air pressure gathering ahead, indicating that they were casting Wind Spells simultaneously!

The Wind Disc spells could stack up without relying on a magic formation. They could easily produce a terrifying storm when enough Wind Mages were casting the spell at the same time!

“We can’t let them finish the spell!” Mu Bai harrumphed coldly, pointing his finger ahead. The mirrors of ice around him suddenly sped up significantly. They started flying at the squad of Wind Mages like enlarged icicles!

A huge bunch of the Wind Mages fell to the ground, blood splattering across the ground. The squad was instantly taken out by the icicles.

Mu Bai’s control of the Ice Magic was very impressive. The ice only severed the limbs of the Wind Mages, without endangering their lives. He could have killed these low-level soldiers with ease!

The sentries were incomparable to the elite soldiers. These soldiers had no chance of stopping Mo Fan and his crew!

A louder alarm was sounded. Mo Fan glanced at the military fortress not far away and noticed a few figures with wings heading toward him.

It seemed the sentries were well aware of their situation. They knew the enemy was too much for them to handle, so they immediately alerted the stronger troops nearby!

“We’ll reach the city after passing through here,” Mo Fan said.

The army’s numbers were overwhelming. There was no way the three could just keep fighting. Their best option was to sneak into the city before the enemy’s reinforcements came, and find a hiding spot there.

The main army was currently focusing on fighting the demon creatures. It was unlikely they would allocate too many soldiers just to deal with three intruders. Therefore, the trio had to find a way to sneak into the city before any stronger troops or Mages arrived.

The wall was around five kilometers from the city. Those five kilometers used to be part of Cairo, but the people were all evacuated when the battle started.

The streets, structures, and warehouses in the area were roughly built. Mo Fan and his crew did not have to worry about civilians when fighting the soldiers.

However, there were still a lot of barracks nearby. They were worried that a strong troop would show up and stop them from advancing any further… Egypt’s capital was certainly not the easiest place to break through!
