The Mage in a silver-white robe was humming a strange melody along the way. It sounded like the theme song from the cartoon Peppa Pig.
Mo Fan had no idea why the guy still had the mood to hum such a pleasant melody during such a grim war, as if it was none of his concern.He tailed the Mage. He had a feeling that the guy was stronger than the Super Light Mage Damon, but he wasn’t sensitive to the presence of Shadow Magic. Mo Fan just had to maintain a safe distance from him.
The sound of the waterfall was deafening, like the roaring of tigers and dragons. Mo Fan’s ears began to hurt as he drew closer.
The pool of water was right ahead. The waters of the river had stopped flowing to a lower altitude. They were instead being drawn into the hole in the sky continuously. It looked like an enormous funnel was hovering above the pool between the riversides!
Wu Ku was on the other side of the Scorching River. Mo Fan could already see him.
There were thousands of people around the altar where Wu Ku was carrying out his sorcery. They remained unmoving, like statues in the thick mist. They were obviously looking for intruders.
“Damn it, that conductor is here too!”
Mo Fan looked around carefully and immediately saw Cook in his tuxedo. His oily long hair was displaying the loose and free nature of an artiste.Cook was standing on a stage that had been recently constructed. The mist under the waterfall was like the fierce waves of an ocean, but he insisted on staying on the stage like an old farmer who had long prayed for rain after being tortured by a prolonged drought. He was waving his little silver baton in utter excitement!
Below the stage stood his choir, who were dressed in luxurious suits, too. They were kneeling in puddles while singing in high spirits!
The song had a similar melody to the tune the Mage in a silver-white outfit was humming. It was most likely the war song of some tribe in South America, but it really sounded a lot like Peppa Pig’s main theme, one of Little Flame Belle’s favorite shows.
The problem was, he always felt like his head was about to explode whenever he heard it!
He had the same feeling now as he was listening to the Sound Mages’ singing. He could not help but recall the immense pressure he had been under when he was surrounded by enemy soldiers in the Furniture District.
“I have to get rid of them somehow….” Mo Fan had always found Sound Mages annoying.
He seriously wondered what they were singing about. Were they holding a concert to ask the Heavens for rain?
—
The choir was Mo Fan’s biggest obstacle. However, he did not have time to waste. He decided to sneak closer and think of his next step later.
He was taken by surprise last time. The situation might not be any better this time, but at least he could strike first!
The Mages of the choir were not strong, but Mo Fan found it annoying when they kept disrupting his Channeling!
“Go ahead and enjoy yourselves for now, you will wish to be dead soon!” Mo Fan was good at playing dirty, too!
The Dark Noble Mantle’s effects were about to run out. He went around the choir, along the river, and started using his Chaos Magic.
“Chaos Mist!”
Unlike the Nyx Regime, the Chaos Mist had no effect on one’s vision.
The mist was not shrouding or covering anything, but its purpose was to fool its target with illusions, like a magic trick.
It was like a mirror in a changing room. The room was supposed to be dark and small, but the room looked much brighter and more spacious with a mirror in it.
Mo Fan was not using the Chaos Mist just to fool the enemy, but to isolate the enemy’s magic too!
There were a lot of powerful Mages nearby. All of them were extremely sensitive to the presence of magic. Their eyes would spring open as soon as a Basic Fire Spell appeared.
Using a Super Spell was clearly out of the question. The enemy would surround him in no time, long before he could construct a Star Palace.
The Chaos Element worked by manipulating order. This time, it ensured the presence of magic remained in a fixed area, preventing the enemy from being alerted. Mo Fan had also used the Chaos Element to mess with the Super Light Mage’s senses previously, and avoid being exposed.
“Aren’t you having fun singing?” Mo Fan grinned.
Mo Fan was done setting up the Chaos Mist. He was currently wrapped in a thin but safe membrane. Others on the outside would only see illusions projected by the Chaos Mist.
Only experts of the Chaos Element would notice something odd about the projections, like the unnatural twists of the ripples on the puddles, or that the raindrops were falling at a different speeds.
Ordinary people would not be able to discern such tiny details!
“It’s been a while since I last used this move. I guess I can treat it as a huge gift to them.”
Mo Fan quickly drew a pattern in the air with his finger. A Chaos Vortex appeared in front of Mo Fan and started to spin slowly.
“Lightning!”
Mo Fan summoned wild lightning on his palm and poured all of its energy into the Chaos Vortex.
The Chaos Vortex was spinning counter-clockwise. The lightning passed its core and was reflected back at Mo Fan.
After obtaining the Lightning Acupuncture Points, Mo Fan’s Lightning Resistance was now insanely high. His ability to absorb lightning had grown significantly on top of that!
Mo Fan was like an enormous battery. He kept consuming his energy and fired Lightning Spells at the Chaos Vortex, while he stored the energy of the strengthened spells the Chaos Vortex was reflecting back at him.
Keep going!
The energy of Mo Fan’s Star Galaxy had more than doubled after he reached the second tier of the Super Level. He had yet to reach his limit!
Every time he fired a Lightning Spell at the Chaos Vortex, the spell’s damage would increase by around twenty percent.
When Mo Fan fired the reflected spell back at the Chaos Vortex again, its damage would increase by another thirty percent!
It was exactly how a particle accelerator functioned. Mo Fan had invented an Electric Charge Accelerator to transform normal Lightning Magic into high-energy explosive particles!
If a tiny particle of Lightning Magic was able to create a few sparkles, what was going to happen when a Super Spell consisting of millions of the same particles was released?
Mo Fan had never tried this before too, but the choir was going to have a taste of it soon!
—
The Chaos Mist Mo Fan had established finally reached its limit, and Lightning Magic started to leak out of it.
The energy that leaked out of the Chaos Mist transformed into dazzling Lightning Chains that spread wildly through the air.
Lightning bolts descended rapidly from the gray and cloudy sky. They immediately exploded after landing close to the Scorching River, spreading along the ground in spectacular fashion, like countless forking lightning eels and snakes!
