N-M Chapter 18 Far Ahead
Chapter 18 Far Ahead
"We can't control the battle in the sky, but the battle on the ground is not over yet." After a short rest, the three of them went to the other cave entrances to help the mage team in Bo City. Mo Fan's necromancy was not suitable for this kind of operation.
Mo Fan's combat efficiency using only lightning and fire elements was lower than that of Li Ya and Ma Kui, and his casting speed using the Book of Star Charts was not as fast as that of a skilled mid-level mage.
At the entrance of a cave, Xu Dahuang and several city demon hunters were surrounded by more than twenty one-eyed demon wolves. The other mages around them were also too busy to help themselves. A figure appeared above a GG sign.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
A massive pillar of crimson fire struck near Xu Dahuang and his companions, killing several one-eyed demon wolves in the mid-level fire magic. "This way!" Mo Fan waved from a distance.
"Captain, someone's coming to our rescue!" Guo Caitang exclaimed excitedly.
"Hurry!" The group rushed toward the opening Mo Fan had created.
"Fire Burst!" Mo Fan on the GG card kept throwing out ball after ball of flame, and the continuous explosions rang out behind the city's monster-hunting team, blocking the one-eyed demon wolf that was chasing after them.
"Lightning Mark - Electric Field!"
Purple lightning flashed across the ground. The one-eyed wolf was paralyzed by the lightning, and the members of the city's monster-hunting team finally escaped the one-eyed wolf's encirclement and were able to catch their breath.
"How's it going?" Mo Fan jumped down from the GG sign.
"Two are dead." Xu Dahuang's voice wasn't loud, and the others all looked dejected.
"Mo Fan, you've reached the intermediate level?" Guo Caitang asked.
"Well, I guess I was lucky!" Mo Fan nodded.
"You all rest here. I still have plenty of magic energy, so I'll go help out first." Mo Fan left with these words and headed towards a group of military mages, leaving Guo Caitang with mixed feelings.
On the other side, Zhan Kong and Yi Cang Lang were locked in fierce combat when a cute little white-haired girl appeared below the Yinmao Building. Standing no more than half a meter tall, she held a bone knife in her hand.
"It's been a long time since I've done anything!" The white-haired little girl slashed her bone knife at the sky, and a thin, inconspicuous blade of light shot towards the winged wolf in the sky.
The next moment, the white-haired little girl disappeared from the spot. The thin blade of light was about to hit the Winged Wolf's neck when the Winged Wolf dodged it. Because it was too late, the Winged Wolf only dodged half of it.
A deep wound appeared on its neck. If the blade's full force had hit, the Winged Wolf should have been beheaded. With half of its neck severed, the Winged Wolf was terrified. This was only possible because it was a Winged Wolf; a human mage would have been dead long ago.
With its head half-softened, the Winged Wolf flew wildly towards the distant mountains. Zhan Kong shook his head as he watched the Winged Wolf flee in panic, "It's really tenacious that it's still alive."
He glanced around the city but couldn't find the source of the attack. The fact that the attacker only targeted the Winged Wolf meant that the attacker was at least not hostile towards him, which was enough.
As dawn broke, the sun shone over Bo City, and the torrential rain finally stopped. The Sky Eagle Mage, who had come to provide support, joined the cleanup of the demons in Bo City. Li Ya and Ma Kui returned to the Lingyin Tribunal to report on the situation.
Mo Fan returned to Xin Xia's side, and the residents of Bo City were relocated to other places. Those who did not want to leave were temporarily resettled and continued to live here after Bo City was rebuilt.
Mo Fan was not punished for the matter of the Holy Spring due to Zhan Kong's manipulation. As for the Tribunal, Mo Fan performed outstandingly in the Bo City disaster and was promoted from trainee judge to full member judge, with the rank of Level 5 judge.
Li Ya and Ma Kui were also promoted one level, from Level 5 judges to Level 4 judges, and their treatment improved.
Students in Bocheng who missed the Magic College Entrance Examination had to transfer to other magic high schools to study for another year. Mo Fan's strength was useless in the magic high school, but he could get into the Qing Campus by applying to Mingzhu Academy in advance.
However, he still relies on the Book of Star Charts to cast both lightning and fire magic, and it would be difficult to get a chance to train at the Three-Step Tower in the Qing Campus, so there would be no loss in applying a year later.
Mastering the release of intermediate-level magic is of paramount importance. He's not short of money, and his cultivation speed at home is no slower than at Pearl Academy.
When Mo Fan broke through the lightning and fire elements, his mental strength improved again, and he was probably close to the second realm. One of the advantages of having multiple magic elements is that as cultivation level increases, the burden on mental strength also increases, and mental strength increases accordingly.
This kind of improvement is very limited for ordinary mages, but Mo Fan has a lot of magic. If the quality is not enough, he can make up for it with quantity. He can stay at home for a year, get two more spirit seeds, and when he gets to Mingzhu Academy, he will still be the great demon king and still far ahead.
"Brother Mo Fan, where are we going?" Xin Xia asked.
"It's not safe to stay here. You're better off going to school in Qiantang. Let's go to Qiantang!" Mo Fan patted Xin Xia's head.
"Mmm." Xinxia nodded obediently.
The family of three boarded the high-speed train to Qiantang. This time, they did not encounter the old professor from the prestigious university. Upon arriving in Qiantang city, Mo Fan spent eight million yuan to buy a three-story villa in a conveniently located villa community with complete surrounding amenities.
He gave Lao Mo one million yuan to live a carefree life, and Xin Xia Mo Fan also gave him one million yuan. She is currently only at the initial stage and doesn't need much money, and she won't need it later on.
Old Mo, however, was idle for a while and didn't know what to do. After staying at home for a few days, he found a job hauling goods to pass the time. He planned to go to Bocheng to live after the reconstruction was completed.
Mo Fan only provided financial assistance. The original 50 million in savings is now only 40 million. During the disaster in Bo City, he obtained four slave-level essences, which he sold. In addition, he sold the last warrior-level essence in his possession for 50 million.
Mo Fan's personal savings reached 90 million. Mo Fan did not sell it through the internal channels of the Tribunal, as that would only make others doubt his strength. The Tribunal allows buying but not selling.
Mo Fan registered a new hunter identity under the name Dave, specializing in necromancy and secondarily in ice magic. Mo Fan then sold himself to the Hunter's Alliance under the identity of Dave.
Mo Fan, who possessed 90 million, spent 25 million within the Trial Council to buy a lightning-type spirit seed, which had a three-fold increase in magical power, but no additional effects.
Lightning-type spirit seeds with additional effects are much more expensive, and Mo Fan isn't the kind of mage who can only linger in the mid-level for his entire life. As long as the spirit seed is powerful enough, it doesn't matter whether it has additional effects or not, since they will be covered by the effects of the soul seed anyway.
After spending 15 million on a mid-level control magic artifact, Mo Fan's savings returned to 50 million.
In a bedroom on the third floor of the villa, near the balcony, Mo Fan was practicing controlling the stars. In just over a month, with the help of controlling the magic artifact and his powerful mental strength, Mo Fan had mastered the release of mid-level fire magic and no longer needed to rely on the Fire Star Chart Book.
As he turned his attention to controlling the intermediate-level star map of the lightning system, Mo Fan received a call from Tang Yue.
