Versatile Mage

“Little Flame Belle!” Mo Fan called loudly. The little creature that had lost her ways in the darkness slammed her way out of the maze of darkness and rammed into Mo Fan’s chest like a burning, red heart!

The strong flames rolled fiercely, the burning feathers formed a shocking vortex circling Mo Fan.

The combination of the brown-red and blazing red flames generated a heat so strong that the sand blown into the air was burned away instantly. Apart from the flames that occupied the stage with a diameter of over three hundred meters, countless lightning arcs were surging too, each sweeping the ground like a snake more than ten meters long, forming the Lightning Tyrant Domain that encapsulated the German team. Its members were struggling to breathe properly!

“The Domain of Lightning and Fire!” Mo Fan unleashed the two magicks simultaneously.

The Fire Element was the most aggressive and active among the Elements, while the Lightning Element was the most violent. The presence of the two Elements kept building up under Mo Fan’s command in the stage within a diameter of three hundred meters. Even without drawing a Star Orbit, a Star Pattern, or a Star Constellation, flaring lights from the colliding energies of the two different Elements were igniting across the stage!

“Double Domain, that guy has combined two domains into one!” Pang Lai exclaimed in surprise.

—

Each Domain was supposed to be isolated, as each Element was isolated from the other Elements. When two different Elements were being combined, the energy of the two Elements would either cancel one another out, or turn into an elemental storm as the energy went haywire.

As such, even if a Mage had several Soul-grade Seeds, allowing the Mage to establish different Domains, it was impossible to set up two Domains at the same time…

But now, Mo Fan had unleashed his two Domains simultaneously. The lightning and fire clashed fiercely, filling the whole stage with a strong, disturbing aura of destruction!

—

“The Fire Domain doesn’t belong to Mo Fan, but the Fire Spirit. Mo Fan is controlling the Lightning Domain while the Flame Belle controls the Fire Domain. If the two Domains are able to reach an equilibrium state, it is actually possible for the two Domains to co-exist, but it’s simply shocking how daring Mo Fan was to even attempt it!”

No one could possibly tell what would happen when the two most aggressive Elements were accumulated in a tiny space!

“Your turn is done, it’s time for you to have a taste of Lightning and Fire that you will never forget for the rest of your life!”

Mo Fan curled a finger on his left hand. A lightning claw immediately attached to his arm, radiating power that could tear anything into pieces.

On his right hand, flames were rolling fiercely. Mo Fan clenched his right hand into a fist. The flames immediately soared up and spread into his surroundings, as if they were about to explode at any second!

The Lightning Tyrant struck first. An enormous Sky Lightning Claw descended from the sky and struck the German team fiercely. A single finger of the Sky Lightning Claw contained a few dozen lightning arcs, and as the five fingers of the claw reached the ground, it looked like a giant hand of a demon was collapsing onto the tiny humans. The members of the German team were as tiny as mere puppets!

The lightning claw covered a huge area. The lightning arcs slowly moved closer to the palm, like a hand that was clenching.

The three members of the German team were forced to run to the middle. They quickly took out all their defensive equipment and cast their defensive spells to resist the terrifying claw of the Lightning Tyrant.

While the lightning claw was still moving, a brown-red light suddenly ignited above the German team.

Reed and Johnson raised their heads and saw the outline of an enormous fist amid the dancing lightning arcs. The combination of brown-red and blazing-red flames was pouring down on them like an apocalypse. Their minds immediately went blank!

The burning fist was so huge that it basically covered the entire sky above the stage, having a diameter of over three hundred meters. Many of the spectators were so terrified that they immediately ran for the exit!

The giant fist erupted in flames and landed right in the middle of the lightning claw. The final line of defense protecting the German team crumbled instantly. The yellow sand evaporated and the ground sank. The impact caused by the burning fist and the lightning arcs struck the barrier surrounding the stage with tremendous force…

The whole place fell silent. The only sound left was the cracking sounds of the fire and lightning.

—

Some time later, the people finally realized that half of the stage was sunken. The three members of the German team lying in the pit had completely lost consciousness. Fendy was lucky enough not to be caught by the attack, and stared at the scene with a blank face. The tenacity and resistance in his heart collapsed together with the destructive, burning fist.

Reed coughed heavily as he regained consciousness. He wanted to rise to his feet and continue the match, but with a quick glance, he soon realized he was lying in a deep pit with overwhelming fatigue…

His destructive spell could only eliminate one person, but his opponent’s destructive spell was strong enough to eliminate an entire team!

That was the difference between them!

—

The people could easily see the damage that had been done. It was fairly obvious that the strength of Mo Fan’s Fire and Lightning had exceeded the threshold of the barrier set up by the organizer. The stage had turned into a huge pit. If the spell was slightly stronger, it might have even injured the spectators close by!

He was only a student in his twenties, yet to think that he possessed such remarkable strength!

—

“That student is out of his mind! If he failed to control the two Elements, a lot of the spectators would be injured for sure! How could he possibly be thinking of combining the Fire and Lightning Elements?”

“But he did control them, didn’t he? Otherwise, we wouldn’t even find the remains of the German team!” Shao Zheng seemed very calm, but his eyes were glittering.

“It simply shows how confident Mo Fan is in his control over the Lightning and Fire Elements… speaking of which, doesn’t that mean we’ve won the match?” Song He said.

The people were so immersed in the great shock of witnessing Mo Fan’s outstanding magic that they did not even realize Mo Fan’s daring thought of combining Lightning and Fire had allowed the team to defeat the strong German team, and placed them in the winner’s bracket!

Shao Zheng smiled. The rest of the councilmen smiled, too. The victory of the match felt much better than winning a political contest!

Strength! It reflected the strength of their country, nothing else!

—

The whole stadium burst into an uproar after a brief silence. The crowd cheered and screamed at the top of their lungs as the outcome of the match was broadcast to the rest of the world.

Humans had always been weak compared to demon creatures. They were desperately trying to escape the fate of being butchered like livestock, and wasn’t a young Mage with incredible strength like him the spiritual prop that brought hope to the survival of mankind?

So what if the demon creatures had strong flesh, could they possibly stand a chance against such a powerful destructive spell?

The cheerful cries of the crowd were all directed at the Lightning and Fire Mage standing on the stage. His imperious demeanor and outstanding control of his magic had won the respect and admiration of many Mages.

——

Standing on the stage, feeling the gaze of the crowd, Mo Fan closed his eyes and enjoyed the surge of emotions feeling through him. It was impossible for him to be highly respected after beating someone half-dead in the previous world that he came from.

Of course, Mo Fan did not forget to say something to the man that had sacrificed the most in the match.

“Old Zhao, recover in peace!”

—

“He’s truly the strongest destructive Mage!”

“In terms of destructive power, Mo Fan of the Chinese team is the only person that impressed me!”

“What kind of training did he even do to become so strong?”

It took the people a long time to recover from their astonishment. Meanwhile, Han Ji was invited as a special guest to join the Chinese commentators in the live broadcast. He took hold of the opportunity to announce a piece of shocking news.

The joy brought by the victory of the Chinese team had spread from the north to the south like a contagious disease, yet Han Ji’s announcement simply shocked the whole country like a ferocious tide!

“Considering that the people who greatly contributed during the Calamity of the Ancient Capital were still too young back then, the Clock Tower Magic Association decided not to declare them to the public, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten their kindness. Even when the blue sea has turned into mulberry fields, even if the Ancient Capital did not survive the calamity, the people of the Ancient Capital will never forget these people. Everyone, take a close look at this young man who has just eliminated the German team with his outstanding strength. He’s the reason that the Ancient Capital is still standing today, despite what happened during that cold autumn. It was he and his buddy that jumped into the Dark Abyss and brought hope to the millions of people of the Ancient Capital!” Han Ji had never been as uplifting and excited as he was today.

Many people, including Pang Lai, were clueless as to why Han Ji cared so much about Mo Fan. He had gone as far as rebuking Zu Huiyin, the chairman’s secretary, for Mo Fan’s sake! The reason behind it was the fact that the whole Ancient Capital owed the young man a great debt that they could never repay!

The unyielding spirit that Mo Fan showed even when he was surrounded by an ocean of undead in the Space of Death had greatly touched the hearts of the Ancient Capital’s people, even as their city was on the verge of falling into ruins!

If the news about the victory of the Chinese team was stirring the hearts of the people like a strong tide, the reveal of Mo Fan’s identity as the savior of the Ancient Capital was on the scale of a tsunami.

The saviors of the Ancient Capital were not some Forbidden Mages, but a student and a young soldier, high school students who had survived the Calamity of Bo City…

One must admit that Han Ji had chosen the perfect time to make the announcement. Even those that were doubtful of Mo Fan’s character were utterly convinced.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan was still indulging in his victory, totally unaware that Han Ji had revealed his heroic achievement to the public.

Mo Fan went down the stage and greeted his teammates with a great smile. He even gave Mu Nujiao a charming grin, yet he soon realized everyone was staring at him with blank faces.

“Say, Jiao Jiao, we’ve been housemates for many years, there’s no need for you to be smitten with me like the others,” Mo Fan teased.

“Did you actually go to the Ancient Capital after leaving the match during the preliminaries?” Mu Nujiao asked him.
