“How many Commander-level undead are there?” Mo Fan scanned the area. Every one thousand meters on the vast hate-filled land had at least one of the enormous undead commanders…

How many Advanced Magicians were there?

Mo Fan could see six or seven Advanced Magicians fighting against a magnificent Skeleton Official. Even from a great distance, he could feel the destructive auras that the Advanced Spells produced when landing on the enormous Skeleton Official, yet they could not inflict any damage to it. When the Skeleton Official roared and fired a rain of a thousand bone arrows, a blood mist burst out from the squad of Intermediate Magicians it targeted. It was impossible to tell how many Magicians had died from the attack…

“Not every Advanced Magician is capable of fighting alone. Besides, that enormous Bone Official is strong enough to be considered a Big Commander…” Yao Nan said in a deep voice, realizing why Mo Fan was astounded.

Mo Fan did not speak. In a war at this scale, every Magician was only playing a minor role. Even someone as strong as an Advanced Magician didn’t make any difference to the outcome of the battle.

However, if they had simply declined to take part in the war because of that, the walls behind them would have been run down ages ago, and the city turned into a feast for the undead!

As Mo Fan was thinking, the dark clouds in the distance suddenly emitted a golden light. Rays of golden light penetrating the presence of death descended upon the place, and the mood swiftly changed!

In the following moment, Mo Fan saw a giant golden sword descending from the sky!

It was a sacred sword made of golden light. The sword was so huge that it felt like it could stand between Heaven and Earth. It was also the source of the golden rays from before…

With a hum that made the whole place quiver, the sacred sword that had descended from the sky fell to the ground perfectly straight, landing on that enormous Bone Official whose size was comparable to that of a small mountain.

The enormous Bone Official was nailed to the black land. Its sturdy bones began to shatter into pieces under the overwhelming presence of the sword of light.

The mountain of bones collapsed while the light sword stood firmly upright on the ground. The Bone Official that was initially deemed unbeatable instantly lost its life and turned into a pile of white bones!

Mo Fan witnessed the entire sequence. It took him a long time to calm down from the astonishment of witnessing the sword killing the creature with a single blow!

“What…what kind of Magic is that?!” Mo Fan asked in shock.

Just a moment ago, Mo Fan thought Magicians were simply too tiny in a battle of this scale, as even Advanced Magicians were unable to make any difference to the situation. However, the sword that came out of nowhere immediately changed his thinking!

The enormous Bone Official was a Big Commander-level creature, one so strong that even six or seven Advanced Magicians were unable to inflict any damage to… yet it was killed instantly by a sacred sword falling from the sky. Words alone could not describe the shock Mo Fan was experiencing!

“Light Element Super Spell… Holy Essence: Demon Judgment Sword!” Yao Nan’s eyes flickered passionately.

A Super Spell, something that he had always wanted to achieve. However, the path of cultivation was a long journey. Even he did not have the confidence that he would achieve the Super Level before he died, and master the destructive power capable of bringing judgment down upon the demon beasts!

“Holy Essence: Demon Judgment Sword!” The astonishment in Mo Fan’s heart slowly dissipated, replaced with strong excitement.

This right here is what Magic f**king should be, bringing the demons to justice with a single sword, showing no mercy whatsoever!

“Let’s go, Du Xiao is most likely going to massacre all the Commander-level creatures that are posing a threat to the army. Holy Essence is the strongest single-target Magic among the Super Spells. He’s the perfect one to kill the officials around the Phantom Tyrant Emperor. The end for the Phantom Tyrant Emperor will happen soon after the White Serene Ghost Officials and the White Serene Ghosts are wiped out.” Yao Nan headed for the walls, bringing Mo Fan together with him.

As they were getting further away from the battlefield, Mo Fan’s mind was still occupied with the scene of that enormous Skeleton Official being killed instantly by the sword!

Recalling when he was still at Tian Lan Magic High, many students were utterly disappointed when they Awakened the Light Element. If they saw what he just saw, they would never think that the Light Element was the worst Element…

“Yao Nan, the textbooks we studied mentioned that Super Level is the highest level possible. Are there more levels above the Super Level?” asked Mo Fan curiously.

“You haven’t even reached the Advanced Level…”

“Can’t I ask?” Mo Fan did not let Yao Nan finish his sentence.

“There are. If you have the chance to visit the World Five Continents’ Magic Association, there’s a chance you might see a Magician above the Super Level. Their power is no longer described as Magic, but Forbidden Curse,” answered Yao Nan. He shook his head with a smile when he saw the passionate look on Mo Fan’s face and immediately switched the topic, “It’s going to rain soon. It’s most likely the last rain for this season. When the snow comes, the undead will be frozen under the ground, providing the city with some relief.”

—

Yao Nan would be a great weather forecaster if he stopped being a Magician. A cold rain started pouring down over the vast corpse-covered land not long after.

The city was the first to receive the rain, which was only a tiny drizzle at the start.

The night had still not ended. The guards on the walls were having a hard time. They preferred to wear raincoats or straw rain capes than protect themselves from the rain with a spell. Here at the walls, the temperature was close to zero and already unbearable, not to mention how troublesome the cold was to the Magicians still fighting against the Phantom Tyrant Emperor around twenty kilometers away.

Mo Fan and Yao Nan had returned to the walls in advance. They stood in the tower watching the loud battles in the distance. All they could do after doing their part was pray.

“Why do you look so down? Without any surprises, the battle should come to an end fairly quickly. With Du Xiao there, the Phantom Tyrant Emperor won’t have any chance of living.” Yao Nan seemed extremely confident of his superior. He leaned against the rail, trying to rest up while chatting with Mo Fan.

“I just don’t like rain for some reason,” Mo Fan replied.

“I like rain though. Mo Fan, I think you need a breakthrough. Trying to rank up to the Advanced Level through meditation alone isn’t likely, and I believe you also relied on some external support when leveling up to the Intermediate Level…” Yao Nan said sternly to Mo Fan.

No one could understand Mo Fan’s potential better than Yao Nan. Not only would Mo Fan be able to cast many Advanced Spells, he would Awaken two new Elements too!

Six Elements! There was no one in the world that would have more Elements than him!

“You seem very concerned about my progress,” said Mo Fan.

Yao Nan was closely tied to the Clearsky Hunter Agency. It was possible that Lingling or Old Bao had told him about the truth of his Double Innate Elements. It did not just grant him one extra Element, but one Extra Element at every level!

“The Elements and spells you have during the Basic and Intermediate Levels are fairly limited. They simply give you an edge over other Magicians. But once you reach the Advanced Level, your strength will skyrocket! With six Elements on the same person, and the effects of Spirit-grade Seeds or Soul-grade Seeds for different Elements, it’s not as simple as having the spells of two Advanced Magicians!” Yao Nan declared.

“It all sounds good on paper, but do you understand how much money I’ll need?” responded Mo Fan.

“That’s true too, hahaha! But I still recommend you focus on improving your Fire Element to the Advanced Level. You would then be able to Awaken your fifth and sixth Elements, giving you one more Element than a Forbidden Magician! Tsk tsk, if I were the Black Vatican, I would choke you to death at all costs! Otherwise, you alone could simply wipe out their entire organization one day!”
