Heidi soon located the Mage with an afro after following Mo Fan’s shadow.

The guy had also been caught in the lightning explosion. His hair was scorched black; he totally resembled a miserable beggar covered in soot.

The shadow snuck up to the Battlemage and swiftly constrained the man. The Dark Material entered his body and impaired his ability to move.

“Protect the major general!” a few Advanced Battlemages yelled when they saw someone approaching their commander.

As soon as Heidi landed beside the major general, almost every soldier nearby raced in her direction. Heidi did not expect the guy to be so important to the Battlemages.

The more important the man was, the more valuable he was as a hostage! It was meaningless to keep fighting the Battlemages, and besides, they were currently in the enemy’s territory. They could easily sentence the foreigners as guilty and execute them on the spot by accusing them of attacking the military. It was very common in many countries!

“Battle Symphony!”

Heidi had generated many strange notes that had laid dormant in her surroundings. When Heidi let out a loud cry, the notes turned into deadly tones surging into the ears of the Battlemages!

Loud rumbles erupted within the ears of the Battlemages. Those that were approaching her cried out in agony!

The Sound Element was the most difficult to defend against. It could produce terrifying tones in the eardrums or even the minds of its targets, and drive them mad!

Blood leaked out from the ears and nose of the Battlemages as they fell to the ground. It made little difference even when they tried to cover their ears.

Heidi was already going easy on them, and did not plan to kill the soldiers. It would be very easy for her to eliminate a few Advanced Mages with her strength.

After the Battle Symphony knocked several Advanced Battlemages to the ground, the Intermediate Battlemages no longer dared to come any closer. Heidi noticed the major general was unable to move, so she lifted him with Telekinesis and stepped over the fallen soldiers to quickly regroup with Mo Fan and Mu Bai.

“They caught the general!”

“Captain Saks!”

A few Ice Mages in brown-yellow uniforms completely lost their minds. They had not expected to lose so miserably to a few young Mages, nor expect their commanding officer to be taken hostage by the enemy!

The young major general, Gangma, was a very important person in the military. Even though his cultivation was not impressive, he had made huge contributions in battles. Even Captain Saks in the sky went mad when he saw the general falling into the enemy’s hands. He immediately cursed at his men on the ground!

Saks was the strongest person in the troop, but his cultivation was more or less on par with Vani’s, as they both only had one Element at the Super Level. Even if Saks had a slight upper hand, he was struggling to take down this guy who continued to take out a variety of magical items and equipment.

Vani was not stupid, either; he used everything he had to keep Saks busy when he saw the captain trying to rescue the important person that Mo Fan and Heidi had captured!

“Mu Bai, your wolves are going to disappear soon,” Mu Bai said.

Mo Fan’s energy was being consumed at an insane rate. The Beast Tide was a powerful spell, but it had its limits.

The Enormous White Wolves were the first to disappear. Lunar-white cracks appeared close to them, dragging them back to the Summoning Plane.

Without the Enormous White Wolves’ messing around, the Battlemages soon regathered into formations. Huge Ice Spells strengthened by powerful gusts of wind closed in on Mo Fan and the others. The dusty wind and blinding snow constantly drove Mo Fan, Heidi, and Mu Bai back. They no longer had any chance to move closer to Zhao Manyan and the others who were trapped in the ice.

“Let’s retreat for now, I doubt they will do anything to Zhao Manyan and the others as long as we are holding this guy as a hostage,” Mo Fan suggested.

He might have disrupted the enemy’s formation, but the troop was still a great threat to them. It had at least a dozen Advanced Mages, and the rest of the Intermediate Mages could line up in formations; being in a formation would either strengthen their spells or provide them with special effects when it reached a certain number of Mages…

If the others were not trapped in ice after they were taken by surprise, they might have stood a chance against the troop. Zhao Manyan’s defense would allow Mo Fan to keep casting his destructive spells, but he could not help but admit it was not the first time he was touched by Zhao Manyan’s intelligence!

“Vani is still fighting the guy,” Heidi said, pointing into the sky.

“Let’s not worry about him,” Mo Fan said mercilessly.

The three decisively retreated, bringing Apas and the major general along. Waves of spells kept chasing after them. Mu Bai and Heidi stayed close to Mo Fan to defend him.

The two were injured too, mainly due to the overwhelming numbers of enemies they had to face. On top of that, the Shadow Mages, Wind Mages, and Earth Mages were extremely cunning. These Mages kept troubling them while they were casting their spells, so they were unable to use most of their spells.

“Mu Bai, I’m going to use Blink!” Heidi exclaimed when she sensed an enormous energy of the Fire Element surging at them from behind.

“It’s a Fiery Fist enchanted by a magic formation!” Mu Bai was shocked. The Battlemages were stronger than they had expected. They were seriously injured by the Enormous White Wolves and the lightning explosion, yet they could still cast such a powerful spell!

Mu Bai had already slowed down; he was slightly behind Mo Fan and Heidi. He spread his will in the air and summoned ice crystals like diamonds across the area.

The ice diamonds appeared rhythmically. They combined into polygons and swiftly formed a thick ice mirror in the sandpit that Mu Bai was locking his gaze on!

The ice polygons perfectly merged together, turning into a towering, magnificent ice s.h.i.+eld with the shape of an octagon.

The Fiery Fist enchanted by the magic formation landed right on the ice, dying the icy s.h.i.+eld blazing red.

The icy s.h.i.+eld was extremely st.u.r.dy. It did not have the slightest crack even after the enormous impact of the scorching flames. It even put out the flames that were spreading across it, giving Heidi enough time to Channel her spell.

“Blink!” Heidi was relieved. She began constructing a bigger Star Constellation.

Silver brilliance encapsulated the other four people. As the light reached its peak, crystalline dust sprinkled in the air and melted before it touched the ground.

The following second, the five reappeared a great distance away. Mo Fan turned around and saw Mu Bai’s ice s.h.i.+eld was still in place. It bought Mo Fan enough time to Channel a spell!

“My turn,” Mo Fan said.

The spells cast by Fire Mages, Ice Mages, Wind Mages, and a few Lightning Mages never ceased. Those spells were not very strong on their own. In fact, Mo Fan and his crew could easily dodge them, but when the spells combined into a colorful rain pouring down from the sky, it was definitely not enjoyable to stay under it. More wounds were inflicted on Mu Bai and Heidi, while an icicle stabbed Mo Fan in the back when he was trying to protect Apas. The wound inflicted by the Ice Magic worsened rapidly.

Mo Fan took over and cast Blink. The five people once again moved a great distance away from the Battlemages.

The enemy’s numbers might be overwhelming, putting Mo Fan and his crew under great pressure, but there was a downside, too; the enemy was unable to move conveniently while maintaining their formation!

After Blinking away twice, the group of five was finally out of range of the enemy’s spells. They sprinted a few hundred meters away, and completely lost sight of the Egyptian soldiers.

“Just surrender, and we might consider going easy on you. Let me go and hand over the young Medusa, and we’ll treat like nothing has ever happened!… Your repulsive behavior is going against the will of the Egyptian army, and most people that do so ended up dying horrible deaths!” Major General Gangma threatened them.

The guy’s skin was no longer intact after being caught in Mo Fan’s lighting explosion, either scorched or blistered. In terms of strength, he did not even reach a tenth of Captain Saks’ level.

There were indeed high-rank authorities in the military who did not possess remarkable strength. Mo Fan had noticed Saks asking the guy for his opinion with his head lowered previously. Therefore, he had set his eyes on the man after detonating the lightning explosion. It was the only way to guarantee Zhao Manyan’s safety, since the Egyptian army might well kill them all to conceal their crimes!

Mo Fan slapped the general in the face without showing any mercy.

Gangma’s face was already scorched by lightning. Mo Fan’s slap almost ruined his face completely.

Mo Fan had seen all kinds of authorities. He was daring enough to kick anyone that he found to be an eyesore regardless of their status in his country, yet a mere general in Egypt dared to act high and mighty in front of him!?

“You little b**ch, why don’t you go to war and kill the enemies if you have the time to fool around with us? Feeding innocent girls to the Medusae? You dare to call yourself a soldier doing something like that?” Mo Fan was not done yet. He slapped the guy on the other side of his face, so both sides were symmetrical!

Mo Fan did not even have to rely on his magic. The strength provided by his demon flesh was enough to knock two teeth from Gangma’s mouth!

“HAHAHA, I don’t care who you are, but I promise you that you will never leave Egypt alive! You have no idea who you are messing with!” Gangma was not willing to yield either. He continued to threaten Mo Fan after he was beaten up.

“Mo Fan, let me give him a few punches too, once we are in a safer spot,” Mu Bai was enraged by the man’s att.i.tude too!

“Once we rescued Old Zhao, we’ll bury this sc.u.m alive somewhere, so he will know what it feels like to be eaten alive by mummies!” Mo Fan agreed.
