Versatile Mage : Reborn As Mo Fan

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Abundant Gains



The blue flames from Mo Fan's spell exploded violently, and after two consecutive Fiery Fists, the surviving small demons immediately scattered in panic!

Captain Cheng and the others were left stunned by Mo Fan's incredible display of power.

"He's strong—too strong!" they thought to themselves. And judging by how quickly Mo Fan had drawn his star map, he clearly wasn't a newly promoted mid-level mage! This realization left everyone feeling like they had been wasting their lives up until now.

"Hurry, destroy the tunnel. If we don't..." Mo Fan began, but his sentence was cut short by the sound of heavy footsteps approaching from not far away.

Soon, everyone saw a bone-spiked wolf charging toward them. A Warrior-level creature!

It was obvious that the powerful spell Mo Fan had just unleashed had drawn this formidable beast to them.

"You guys go destroy the tunnel. I'll handle this one." Mo Fan said calmly.

The group didn't argue. They knew they wouldn't be of much help in this situation. They quickly made their way into the school while Mo Fan faced the approaching Bone-spiked Wolf.

He raised his hand and unleashed another fiery fist!

Boom!

Unlike the smaller demons, the Bone-spiked Wolf withstood the attack. Although injured, it wasn't killed. Its sharp claws lashed out toward Mo Fan.

Mo Fan quickly used his shadow element spell - Shadow Evade: Traverse to dodge.

Crash!

The wolf's claw left a massive crater in the ground where Mo Fan had just stood.

Howl!!!

The Bone-spiked Wolf roared and charged at Mo Fan again.

Mo Fan evaded, and this time he started drawing his Lightning spell. Compared to his mastery of fire, his skill with the lightning element was less refined. Without the star chart book, he wouldn't have had the chance to fight back.

As the wolf closed in, the sky lit up with crackling purple lightning, a thunderous star map forming beneath Mo Fan's feet. The arcs of electricity danced eagerly, yearning to be unleashed, ready to make everything tremble before their might!

"Thunderbolt: Exploding Apex!"

Mo Fan muttered, pointing a finger skyward.

Without warning, a massive bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky, splitting the air in two. The terrifying electric force shot down toward the Bone-spiked Wolf with an ear-piercing screech.

Boom!

The wolf took the full brunt of the thunderbolt. Its body twitched and convulsed as it bled, paralyzed by the electricity coursing through its veins.

"Fiery Fist: Exploding Heavens!"

Seeing the wolf still standing, Mo Fan followed up with another fiery fist. The devastating flames crashed down upon the creature.

Boom!

The impact sent the Bone-spiked Wolf sprawling to the ground with a thud. As its spirit flickered and faded, Mo Fan successfully vanquished the creature for good.

With the Bone-spiked Wolf defeated, Mo Fan let out a small sigh of relief.

Fighting the lesser demons had been easy for him, but taking on a Warrior-level beast like the Bone-spiked Wolf had proven to be quite a challenge, even with his powerful spiritual seed.

Thinking about it, Mo Fan realized that without his spirit seed, even the whole group of them might not have been able to handle a beast of this caliber.

After defeating the Bone-spiked Wolf, Mo Fan rushed into the school to meet up with the others.

Fortunately, by the time he arrived, the group had successfully destroyed the demon tunnel. However, the destruction had attracted another wave of demon wolves and rats.

"Thunderbolt: Exploding Apex!" Mo Fan shouted.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck down, turning a dozen small rats into ash. The remaining demons, frightened by the powerful magic, quickly retreated.

Seeing Mo Fan return, the group was overjoyed. Captain Cheng asked, "What about the Bone-spiked Wolf?"

"Taken care of." Mo Fan replied, then glanced at them, "How did things go here?"

"We destroyed the tunnel." Cheng answered.

Realizing that his magic energy was running low, Mo Fan quickly suggested, "Let's move. I don't have much energy left."

"Right!" they agreed.

With no time to dwell on Mo Fan's remarkable abilities, they all hurried to leave the area. They regrouped with the summoned wolf beast, and together they made their way back to the safe zone.

Although Mo Fan had been tempted to collect some of the demon spirits, his depleted energy forced him to give up on the idea for now.

Finally, they reached the safety of the barrier as the night came to a close.

At dawn, the fog was gradually dispelled by the morning sun, casting clean rays of light over the mountains, rivers, and the city.

Mo Fan, with his arm around Xin Xia's waist, leaned against a wall and slowly opened his eyes. His father and Aunt Mo Qing were standing nearby, watching the horizon.

The sound of cheers made Mo Fan curious. When he looked up, he saw a large flock of white sky eagles flying toward them.

His heart lightened. The reinforcements had arrived.

Each eagle carried a mid-level mage, signaling that the authorities had finally sent an elite group to assist Bo City after hearing about the disaster.

Bo City's mid-level mages were few in number, and the loss of several key figures had left the city in desperate need of backup. The arrival of the Sky Eagle Mage Corps meant that the city would now be properly defended.

As the eagles flew overhead and landed at the observation tower, it became clear that the city was finally safe.

Despite being low on magic, Mo Fan followed the others out to join the cleanup effort—not out of a sense of duty, but to collect as many demon spirits as possible before they dissipated.

With the arrival of the Sky Eagle Mage Corps, the battle shifted from survival to sweeping up the remaining demons. Over the course of a week, the city was thoroughly cleansed, including its sewers, leaving only a few stragglers hiding in fear.

Mo Fan had collected a good number of demon remnants during the chaos, though still not enough to evolve his pendant. Nevertheless, the constant nourishment of his star cloud and stardust gave him a noticeable boost in cultivation and strength.
