Versatile Mage

Mo Fan was shocked despite himself!

Did this Sayed’s brain have a short-circuit or something? Did he not consider the possibility of getting the crap beaten out of him, even if he managed to secure the Soul Essence!?

“Mo Fan, forget it, he has the Undead Element. There’s no way you can compete for the Soul Essence,” Mu Bai said.

Mu Bai was done with his Hellish Cerberus, too. He came to lend Mo Fan a hand when he saw the two fighting over the Commander-level Soul Essence.

Mu Bai could not see the Commander-level Soul Essence. He only knew the two were competing for it from their exchange of words.

“I’m an Undead Mage, do you really think you can claim the Soul Essence from me? My Death Saber Mummy will be one step closer to the Ruler-level with it! You’re too naive if you think no one can beat you. Just a little more time and resource, and I’ll be able to trample you under my feet!” Sayed grinned coldly.

It was difficult for Soul Remnants and Soul Essences to escape the eerie glow that Sayed’s Soul Container was emitting. A Soul Remnant or a Soul Essence only lasted a brief time free. They would disperse like smoke if a Soul Container was not around to retrieve them.

Mo Fan saw the Commander-level Soul Essence moving away from him. It was dragged toward the eerie light, as if it could not wait to jump into Sayed’s grasp.

Mo Fan was quite surprised by it. This Sayed did have something up in his sleeves; at least he was as decisive as a hoodlum when it came to stealing someone else’s Soul Essence!

“Little Loach, don’t worry if you can’t claim it. Give it to him first. I’m going to beat him up into a mummy later!” Mo Fan felt like he was starting to lose his edge. He decided to use the simplest way to get his revenge.

Little Loach was clearly not willing to admit defeat. The Pendant vibrated vigorously on Mo Fan’s chest, like an enraged little tiger. The sound of the vibration was like a tiger’s deep growl.

A light that only Mo Fan could see extended forward and covered the entire area. The eerie light that was suppressing Little Loach’s power disappeared, replaced by an icy blue shimmer!

The Commander-level Soul Essence immediately deviated from its path.

Previously, the competition between the two Soul Containers was like a tug-of-war, but now, the Commander-level Soul Essence dove right into Mo Fan’s chest as if it had finally found its real home, entering the world inside the Little Loach Pendant and falling into the Nether River.

Mo Fan was overjoyed after Little Loach claimed the Soul Essence. Little Loach was unstoppable, even though it had been a while since he last displayed its power. Even the high-quality Soul Container of an Advanced Undead Mage was no match for it!

Mo Fan assumed the competition had come to an end, yet Little Loach’s icy blue glow did not disappear. He noticed the Soul Container in Sayed’s hand dimming suddenly as many dots of light similar to fireflies flew out of it.

“This…this…” Sayed was utterly shocked. He had yet to recover from the shock of losing the tug-of-war, and now the Soul Essences inside his Soul Container were being taken away too!

Mo Fan’s eyes widened too!

Little Loach was robbing Sayed of the precious Soul Essences he had spent such a long time collecting. The light dots floated toward Mo Fan’s chest in an orderly manner. Little Loach was ruthlessly eating them all!

“What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop it, stop it now!” Sayed’s face turned pale, and he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Even Mo Fan was a little dumbfounded. Little Loach was really angry. He had drawn out the Soul Essences that Sayed had been collecting for more than a year. Mo Fan found himself with many high-quality Soul Essences all of a sudden!

Sayed was on the verge of losing his mind. The Soul Essences he had collected to upgrade his Death Saber Mummy were all gone. Those Soul Essences had a chance of helping the Death Saber Mummy evolve into a Ruler-level creature, yet they were all gone within a few seconds!

“I’m going to kill you!” Sayed almost burst into tears of frustration as he yelled out furiously.

“How arrogant can you be!?” Mo Fan harrumphed coldly.

Sayed had been asking for it. None of this would have happened if he had not tried to take the Soul Essence by force in the first place, but he had sent the helve after the hatchet instead, and still had the guts to vent his frustrations on Mo Fan. Why would he be afraid of this idiot!?

“Sayed, what are you doing? Are you going crazy?” Meos finally showed up and stopped Sayed.

“What were you all doing? There are more than three Hellish Cerberi left, yet you’re still fighting among yourselves?” Shreev said.

“Someone is no different from those dogs! I wouldn’t mind killing one extra.” Mo Fan remained in place. He had no intention of compromising.

“You took my everything, everything!” Sayed screamed at Mo Fan.

“If you keep behaving like this, you should be worried about your life instead of your belongings!” Mo Fan grunted.

“Mo Fan, give them back to him. Now is not the time to fight among ourselves. There are quite a few Hellish Cerberi in this hall left,” Heidi said.

“My Soul Container doesn’t like spitting out the things it ate,” Mo Fan replied.

There was no way Little Loach would spit out the things he had eaten, meaning that Sayed’s belongings were all his now. He had no plans to give them back!

“Mo Fan, I’m telling you, if you don’t give my Soul Essences back, you’re going to pay with your life!” Sayed yelled.

“Do you think your mothers are everywhere across the world? Even if my Soul Container is willing to spit them out, there’s no way I’m giving them back to you, either!” Mo Fan hated the man’s guts!

“You!” Sayed was so angry that he had an urge to vomit blood.

—

Mo Fan did not give the Soul Essences back. He simply ignored Sayed despite his constant harassment. If Sayed had the guts to fight him, he would not mind beating the man up until even his father could not recognize him!

They had yet to take care of all the Hellish Cerberi in the hall. However, they were no longer being chased around miserably after they regrouped.

Sayed’s expression darkened, and he did not cast a single spell. He was glaring at Mo Fan the whole time, fighting the urge to tear Mo Fan into pieces with bare hands.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan was waiting for Sayed to attack him first, so he had an excuse to take care of the retard. It was difficult for the group to work together with an idiot on the team.

However, Meos was doing her best to calm Sayed down, knowing the stakes at hand. They were here under General Haken’s orders, so Sayed would not dare to try anything reckless for the time being…

Most importantly, Sayed knew his place. He was well aware that Mo Fan could easily destroy him if he started a fight. Mo Fan was a lot stronger now than he had been during the World College Tournament!
