Versatile Mage

“Vani, don’t you know what’s going to happen to Apas if she ends up in their hands!?” Heidi demanded angrily.

“Of course I know, but I also know that if we keep going against the military, my students and I will never leave Egypt alive! She’s just a girl whose identity we can’t even confirm, why do I care what’s going to happen to her? As for you… it’s fine if you want to get yourself killed, but you shouldn’t drag us into the mess with you!” Vani grunted, pointing at Mo Fan and Heidi.

“You call yourself a mentor of the European University Institute? Aren’t you ashamed of trading an innocent girl’s for your own freedom!?” Heidi cursed at him.

“Enough talk, we are only in this mess because of you, it’s time to put an end to it!” Mentor Vani had fallen out with them completely. He stood at the junction, glaring at them with dark brown eyes.

Heidi was about to use her magic when Mo Fan took a step forward without turning his head. His eyes were brimming with murderous intent. Heidi was intimidated just looking at his back!

“I said that I’ll snap his neck. I’ll let you handle the rest of them,” Mo Fan told Heidi with an icy voice!

“Be careful, he’s still a Super Mage!” Heidi warned him.

Mo Fan did not speak any further. As soon as he saw Vani, he immediately recalled Apas’ hope-filled eyes, despite the tough situation she had been through. The more he thought about it, the madder he was!

Lightning Tyrant!

Lightning bolts rolled like dragons in the ocean in the dark sky. They rapidly gathered toward Mo Fan, sparking in the air, condensing into the forms the shape of chains, claws, and petals. They were lighting up the sky like it was the middle of the day.

The lightning intertwined all around Mo Fan as an eerie shadow loomed over him. When the lightning came streaking in from different angles, his shadow was projected in different positions, too. Mo Fan stood motionless, yet his shadows had different shapes and forms!

“Who do you think you are? Do you seriously think you can take on a Super Mage? You’re just an Advanced Mage, I shall teach you how petty your strength is when compared to the Super Level!” Vani knew he was going against his conscience, yet he would not admit his shortcomings now that he had made his decision. He had transformed all the negative emotions into anger directed at Mo Fan.

It was Mo Fan who had started it all. The arrogant young man was seriously provoking his dignity as a Super Mage!

“No matter how impressive your cultivation is, it won’t change the fact that you’re worse than a dog!” Mo Fan spat back disdainfully.

Some people might be weak in terms of cultivation, but they truly deserved Mo Fan’s respect. Old Chad was one of them. Meanwhile, some people might be a Super Mage, but they were worse than pigs and dogs in Mo Fan’s eyes!

“You! I swear I’m going to crush you!” Mentor Vani was infuriated when Mo Fan purposely poked him in his sore spot.

His eyes darkened further. The spacious street started twisting eerily under his powerful will and Domain. The surrounding structures were untouched, yet where Mo Fan and Heidi were standing was experiencing strong quakes. They could not even stand properly.

“Hillock Whale!”

At Vani’s yell, something suddenly burst out from the ground. A dark brown silhouette leapt into the air like a fish, stirring up a huge wave of rocks and stone shards!

The enormous figure that had burst out from the ground resembled a gigantic whale. Its body was made up of lustrous sturdy rocks!

The enormous Hillock Whale loomed above the structures on both sides of the road, its shadow covering half the street. After reaching the highest point, it dove right down at Mo Fan with suffocating pressure. A terrifying sandstorm surged at him before the Hillock Whale even reached him!

Mo Fan did not clash with the Earth Magic directly. He turned into a blurred shadow and drifted back along the street.

The Hillock Whale smashed into the ground heavily, stirring up a shocking wave of rocks.

However, the magic was not as clumsy as Mo Fan had imagined. The Hillock Whale’s body did not break into pieces after slamming into the ground; it actually dove under the surface, like a fish returning into the ocean.

Mo Fan felt that the ground was not safe. He immediately jumped onto a warehouse built of steel, a better place for him to observe the ground.

The warehouse under his feet collapsed before he could react!

Heidi glanced in Mo Fan’s direction and was surprised to see the terrifying Hillock Whale emerging from below the warehouse. It forcibly smashed the warehouse into pieces and knocked Mo Fan into the air!

The Hillock Whale was about the size of the warehouse, while Mo Fan was as tiny as a little shrimp. The Hillock Whale sprang into the sky, while Mo Fan had disappeared among the debris scattering in the air.

A Super Earth Mage was ridiculously strong. Heidi was extremely worried for Mo Fan, afraid that Mo Fan could not resist Mentor Vani’s attacks.

However, Heidi could not provide Mo Fan with any assistance either. Ferrero, Galba, Sofia, and Zoey had surrounded her. It seemed like the four of them had made up their minds, too. They were not planning to go easy on her.

Sofia was the first to move; she was a Shadow Mage. Heidi did not place any attention on her in the beginning, nor was she cautious enough, distracted by Galba’s spectacular magic. To her surprise, Sofia suddenly showed up behind her and fired a Spear of Shadow capable of Sealing her mind at her.

Heidi was minding three things at once. She was capable of using a different Element while she was already Channeling a spell.

She disrupted Galba’s Star Constellation with the Sound Element to nullify his attack before forming an invisible shield with her Will to block Sofia’s Spear of Shadow. She then Blinked a certain distance away to avoid being flanked by her attackers…

—

Another huge crash rang out. The Hillock Whale pursued Mo Fan relentlessly. It had no intention to give up until it had smashed him into a pulp!

Mo Fan had accumulated enough Lightning Magic while dodging the Hillock Whale’s deadly attacks. Storm Clouds gathered above Mentor Vani; thick lightning bolts descended rapidly when Mo Fan pointed The lightning bolts struck down on the area Vani was in wildly!

Vani glanced at the lightning bolts disdainfully. “Idiot, the Earth Element is the Lightning Element’s weakness. You can’t hurt me!” Vani sneered with a smile.

Vani did not move. Thick rocks appeared in front and behind of him simultaneously and connected above his head like two heavy doors. The fierce lightning bolts landed right on the rocks as soon as they were shut tight!

Even though the surface of the rocks was cracking, the defense did not collapse because of it. Vani was perfectly unharmed inside it. The rocks remained standing even after Mo Fan unleashing all his lightning.

The Lightning Element had outstanding penetration, but it struggled greatly against the Earth Element. The Earth Element could also stop lightning’s conduction.

Vani was not afraid of Mo Fan’s Lightning Element. No matter how strong his Lightning Element was, the defense of his Super Earth Element was impenetrable!

“Feel free to use everything you have, I shall let you taste some despair!” Vani laughed.

Mo Fan burst out laughing, too. He was not planning to inflict serious damage on Vani with the Lightning Magic. Under his Lightning Tyrant Domain, their surroundings were brimming with the presence of Lightning Magic, thus allowing Mo Fan to cast his Lightning Spells quicker. As long as Vani was unable to control the Hillock Whale, Mo Fan would be able to seize the initiative!

“The Swamp of Darkness!”

His Dark Material had long spread out about them. The Fiendish Night was truly a powerful spell. Its spread, growth, and thickening were unnoticeable. An enemy would never notice it until after they had long been surrounded by it.

The Dark Material could penetrate every object, and grow continuously on living creatures. Vani did not notice the dark energy attaching to his body and spreading through his surroundings, as he was busy with his defense.

A Swamp of Darkness was established around Vani. It covered the ground below his feet swiftly. Mo Fan also had a Swamp of Darkness around himself. The two swamps joined together and swallowed the entire area between them in darkness!

Vani began to panic when he noticed the darkness spreading under his feet.

The Hillock Whale was no longer able to move in and out of the ground due to the layer of darkness. It was suddenly replaced by his opponent’s Domain!

“Why…why do you have so many Elements!?” Vani cried out.

“I’ll let you have a taste of them all!” Mo Fan answered coldly.

Vani did not want to fight in his opponent’s Domain. He started to move away, but soon discovered that the Swamp of Darkness had the effects of a maze. He had to learn its pattern before he could find a way out. However, there was nothing he could use as a reference point. The structures nearby had all disappeared in the darkness…

Vani might have been a Super Mage, but he had no clue how to deal with the eerie Domain!

Vani could not find a way to leave after several attempts. He decided not to waste his time any further, knowing the swamp would not last forever. It would disappear on its own after he took out Mo Fan!

“Do you think I only have the Earth Element?” Vani spat at the darkness surrounding him.

Vani stopped using the Earth Element, and started emitting an icy aura. Tiny frost particles floated in the air without clashing with the Swamp of Darkness.
