”Nyx Regime!”
Mo Fan finished setting up the Dark Formation. This time, he did not place the Giant Shadow Spikes inside it. He only covered the entrance of the ancient castle with darkness.
The darkness loomed over the ancient castle. The sky was already occupied by the strange birds, preventing sunlight from coming in. Now, the whole place was pitch-black, making it difficult to identify directions...
”Blessing: Enhance!” Nanrong Ni cast a spell that Mo Fan had never seen before.
Mo Fan's Nyx Regime only managed to cover two-thirds of the entrance. Its coverage was not wide enough to encapsulate the whole place. After all, Mo Fan was still familiarizing himself with the Advanced Shadow Spell. However, after Nanrong Ni murmured a few soft chants, Mo Fan noticed the coverage of his Nyx Regime expanding. Its aura had grown stronger, too!
The darkness spread across the entrance of the ancient castle. Mo Fan could easily sense the strange birds that went into the darkness crying out in panic. They were struggling fiercely, as if they had fallen into a black mud pool.
”Is that the Blessing Element?” Mo Fan looked at Nanrong Ni in astonishment.
Jiang Shaoxu, Jiang Yu, and Zhao Manyan were looking at Nanrong Ni in shock, too.
The Blessing Element was a kind of White Magic. However, it was rare to find a Magician with it in their country. As a matter of fact, the Blessing Element was rare in other countries too. It was almost exclusive to the Parthenon Temple. Only the Magicians there could Awaken the Blessing Element through special guidance...
No one expected Nanrong Ni's third Element to be the special Blessing Element!
Mo Fan had only learned about the existence of the Element from Xinxia. She once said that she was hoping to Awaken the Blessing Element as her third Element. However, Mo Fan strongly advised against it after he learned more about the Element.
Xinxia would simply become a pure supporting character, meaning that she had no means to protect herself. As such, Mo Fan decisively told her not to Awaken the Blessing Element.
He was very surprised that Nanrong Ni was able to Awaken the Blessing Element!
”The Nanrong Clan has seriously invested in her...” Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.
”Too bad we won't live for long,” added Jiang Shaoxu.
Nanrong Ni glared at Jiang Shaoxu. Would she die if she didn't mention it!
The Blessing Spell greatly enhanced Mo Fan's Nyx Regime. Its efficiency had increased by at least thirty percent. Its terrorizing effect was strong enough to stir up panic among the low-level strange birds.
As their flying patterns and discipline were disrupted, the team actually had a chance of defeating the creatures, despite their overwhelming numbers.
”Zhao Manyan, remember to keep an eye on me, I'm going to slaughter them all!” said Mo Fan when he saw the strange birds colliding into one another inside the darkness.
”It's all you now!”
Mo Fan was protected by three layers of spells. The extra defense was like adding wings to a tiger for Mo Fan.
”Come, I'll crush you all! Lightning Disaster!”
Mo Fan waved his hands in the air. Lightning claws swung wildly and combined into a giant net of lightning, tearing through the bodies of the strange birds. Their feathers began to fall rapidly as the scorched corpses with a burned scent fell to the ground in front of Mo Fan's feet.
”Nanrong Ni, can you enhance my Fire Spell?” asked Mo Fan.
”Sure!” replied Nanrong Ni.
”Alright, Jiang Shaoxu, use your Spirit Ripple to aggravate their fear and drive them to where I'm going to cast the Sky-Flame Funeral!” said Mo Fan.
Jiang Shaoxu nodded. She used all her focus to extend the range of Spirit Ripple to its limit. Since Mo Fan's Nyx Regime already had a strong fear effect, Jiang Shaoxu only needed to intensify the fear in the hearts of the creatures. It was the expertise of a Psychic Magician!
Fear spread through the creatures like a plague, carried at the speed of lightning. The strange birds that entered the Nyx Regime immediately panicked and attacked one another aimlessly, like a herd of cows and goats running wildly in panic and trampling one another...
The birds crashed into one another in the crowded space. They were desperately looking for a sense of security, as if the darkness was full of demons that could tear them into pieces. They would be safe once they managed to hide among their comrades...
”Time to bury you all!”
Fierce flames ignited and turned into fiery clouds after they were tossed in the air. The ground below was a scorching sea of flames. The Sky-Flame Funeral had become a joint funeral for the strange birds, swiftly burning them to ashes!
The fire continued to grow while burning the birds, yet Mo Fan did not receive a single Soul Remnant. The only loot he found was a piece or two of bright-colored, colorful crests.
Mo Fan stored the crests away. They might turn out to be one of the key items to solving the mystery of the strange birds!
The strange birds were intelligent. They knew Mo Fan's Dark Formation was their burial ground. After Mo Fan had killed over a thousand strange birds using the same method, an army of higher-level birds showed up.
The low-level creatures needed powerful creatures to lead them. A thousand strange birds were too insignificant compared to the entire horde. However, Mo Fan's Nyx Regime was almost at its limit.
The strange birds started pouring down like raindrops, using their bodies as weapons. They kept charging into Mo Fan's Nyx Regime. The darkness was actually driven away. As the strange birds fearlessly dove into the Dark Formation and rammed into the ancient castle with blood splattering in the air, the Nyx Regime was greatly affected too...
”Mo Fan, can you hold your ground?” the worried Jiang Shaoxu asked.
