Chapter 1157: The Demon-Horned Statue Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth “Lightning Chain!” Mo Fan completed the Intermediate Spell before the Bronze Beast reached the ground. The fifth-tier Thunderbolt appeared. Lightning arcs struck the Bronze Beast from all directions, inflicting serious damage on it. The Bronze Beast finally had a chance to catch its breath, yet Mo Fan triggered the Tyrant Call once again, knocking it to the ground heavily. Cracks began to surface on the Bronze Beast. It charged at Mo Fan furiously, emitting a brilliant blue light aura several times stronger than before. “Flame Sword!” The Calamity Fire burned in Mo Fan’s hands. It swiftly turned into a huge, fiery sword over ten meters long. Mo Fan faced the furious Bronze Beast directly. He swung the sword down with both hands! The continuous lightning strikes had inflicted serious damage on the Bronze Beast. Its outer layer had broken down, and the slash cut the Bronze Beast in half! When the flames dissipated, the Bronze Beast was shattered into pieces. The lightning arcs that had dealt serious damage to the Bronze Beast surged out from its body. Mo Fan walked up to the Bronze Beast and stomped it into pieces, preventing it from regenerating like the undead. It was obvious that the Bronze Beast of Greece could no longer come back to life, at least for a short amount of time, after Mo Fan could no longer sense the beast’s aura. He proceeded up the stairs, heading toward the second statue! — “Did...did he just defeat the statue, just like that?” At the top of the mountain, Kulun’s face was filled with astonishment. The other knights surrounding the place were utterly dumbfounded too. That was the Bronze Beast of Greece, there was no way it would be slaughtered so easily! “Didn’t you guys see the brilliance of the God’s Seal in his lightning? It’s incredibly strong, it basically doubles the base damage of his Lightning Element!” Muse Tisu informed them. The only person that could grant a Mage the Blessing of the God’s Seal with a multiplier of two was the previous Goddess, Izisha. The Blessing of the God’s Seal from the Hall Mother was obviously nowhere close to Izisha’s. Tisu was utterly confused as to how Mo Fan had managed to stop losing the energy from the Blessing of the God’s Seal! “How is it possible for someone to obtain a multiplier of two, if his Soul-grade Seed...” Many people had witnessed Mo Fan’s strength in the World College Tournament. He had dominated the event with his lightning, since the Lightning Tyrant had multiplied the damage of his Lightning Spells sixfold. Even Zorro did not stand a chance against it. The base damage of his Lightning had now been doubled by the Blessing of the God’s Seal. His Sky Lightning Claw was absolutely unstoppable when he was up against an Advanced Mage. It was obvious that the final fiery sword was not the attack that had destroyed the Bronze Beast, but the continuous lightning attacks that had destroyed its internals! “He’s still trying to get himself killed after obtaining such a great gift? How idiotic!” someone cursed. Even the people of the Hall of Knights did not have the chance to receive the Blessing of the God’s Seal, let alone being given one with a twofold multiplier! It would simply drive many Mages crazy. It was extremely difficult for them to improve the base damage of their Elements. These knights, who had been loyal to the sacred mountain for their whole lives, were extremely jealous of Mo Fan! — “Old Pang, why do I feel like that Bronze Beast is a bit too weak?” Zhu Meng murmured doubtfully, looking at the Bronze Beast’s remains. “It’s not that the Bronze Beast is weak, but Mo Fan is just too strong. I’m pretty sure even the strongest Advanced Mages would have trouble against his Lightning, knowing that the damage of his Lightning Spells is multiplied twelve times over!” Pang Lai said. Old Bao nodded agreement. It was true that they could no longer think of Mo Fan as just an ordinary Advanced Mage after the World College Tournament’s rewards and cultivating in seclusion for two months. The suppression of the magic formation might be effective against Super Mages, but it did not affect Mo Fan much, since he was only an Advanced Mage. “But the statues after the first one aren’t easy to deal with, either,” Pang Lai said. “Let’s hope he can make it through.” — Mo Fan had now reached the second statue. It was a statue of a demon with giant wings like a bat, strange horns, and four limbs with claws. Seeing that the statue had no intention of waking up, Mo Fan simply ignored it and headed for the stairs. “Kid, aren’t you a bit naive, thinking that you can walk past me, just like that?” a strange and aged voice came from behind him. Mo Fan quickly turned around and saw the Demon-Horned Statue standing less than a meter away. Its ghastly face stuck close to Mo Fan, the grin on its gray flesh looking extremely vicious and fake! Mo Fan did not panic, staring back at the statue coldly. “You can talk?” he asked. “I was once a human many years ago,” the Demon-Horned Statue replied. “Will you let me pass?” Mo Fan asked. The demon statue laughed. “What do you think?” “Then what exactly are you? I’m not really in the mood, piss off!” Mo Fan’s fists burst into flames. He threw them at the demon statue, followed by a ferocious wave of fire! “Tsk tsk, that’s quite a bad temper you have.” The demon statue floated away eerily. When the fists approached, it leaned sideways, dodging Mo Fan’s attack. Mo Fan had no intention of wasting his time with the statue. He turned into a Shadow Bird and moved closer to the demon statue. He gathered his will on his hands. Mo Fan grabbed the demon statue’s wings and slammed it down on the stairs with shocking might! “Crush!” Mo Fan’s eyes flickered. The overwhelming force of Space Rhythm was immediately applied to the demon statue. It was soon crushed into dust by a silver flicker, the power of the Space Element! “Tsk tsk, how vicious, it’s been a while since I last saw an interesting young man like you. That toad might have lost to you, but I will teach you that the Starry Mountain Path isn’t something that you can easily overcome!” the Demon-Horned Statue’s voice appeared on the other side. Its claws were grabbing onto a tree branch like a bird, and it seemed almost weightless. The tree branch did not bend under its weight. “Clone Magic?” Mo Fan glanced at the thing crushed into dust by his Space Element. When he took a closer look, he realized that it was only a log instead of the demon statue. Mo Fan was familiar with Clone Magic, allowing him to identify the trick that the Demon-Horned Statue was pulling at first glance. “You do know a lot, but I will dig your guts out and see if they are any different than the others!” the Demon-Horned Statue appeared behind Mo Fan and swiped its claws at Mo Fan’s belly. The demon statue seemed to have the ability to grab its target’s inner organs through the flesh. Its hand reached into Mo Fan’s body and grabbed his guts. The demon statue had a cruel grin. It pulled its claw out fiercely, bringing Mo Fan’s guts with it! The demon statue was not in a rush to kill Mo Fan. They were forced to guard the mountain path, and were extremely bored by the duty. As such, they were very excited whenever there was an intruder. “Having outstanding offensive capabilities along isn’t enough, since you will need more than that to win battles!” the demon statue lectured while it slowly opened up its claw, to see if the man really had guts like a buffalo. Otherwise, why would he even bother to come and get himself killed? A puff of black smoke floated out when the demon statue opened its hand. The Demon-Horned Statue was stunned. It quickly lifted its gaze and saw Mo Fan had turned into a puff of black smoke and floated away. “You’re not the only one with the Clone Magic!” Mo Fan used the same trick in return and appeared behind the demon statue. This time, the power contained by Mo Fan’s fists was even stronger. Fiery dragons slammed into the demon statue’s wings. It felt like its bones were about to collapse from the impact, as fiery dragons knocked the it down the mountain path. However, the statue was not that weak. It quickly rose to its feet and beat its wings to rise into the air. Its body was swaying around, implying that it did suffer quite some damage from the attack. However, it still had a menacing grin as it glared at Mo Fan and snapped, “I’m going to make you pay for that!” “Telekinesis!” Mo Fan’s will turned into a strong force, pulling rocks out of the beruned mountain wall, which he promptly threw at the Demon-Horned Statue. It furiously summoned a cloudy wind, knocking the giant rocks in other directions. “Blood Cross!” The Demon-Horned Statue emitted two blood-red rays that interwove and formed a cross, flying at Mo Fan. Mo Fan quickly backed away, but he realized that the bloody cross was growing bigger, to the extent that he could no longer dodge it. “Blink!” Mo Fan executed the Advanced Spell Magic. He vanished and reappeared a hundred meters away. The Blood Cross collided into the wall and left a huge cross-shaped crater on it! When Mo Fan was cultivating in seclusion for two months, he had spent most of his time learning the Advanced Space Spell, apart from stabilizing the energy of the God’s Seal. Mo Fan kept regretting that he had not learned the spell before the World College Tournament... Even though he was still not familiar with it, he was no longer that passive when he was trying to dodge enemies’ attacks. In addition to that, the spell also allowed Mo Fan to move to advantageous positions, and launch his counterattack when his enemies had lowered their guard!
