”You're here!” Li Yu'e looked at Mo Fan in surprise after she recovered.
”You're the strongest non-Mage I know, I won't let him escape this time!” Mo Fan said to Li Yu'e confidently.
He had asked Jiang Yu to take care of Li Yu'e, and the people around the hospital. Jiang Yu and the others would evacuate the place in the shortest time possible.
The Nyx Regime did not cover just the building they were in. The whole hospital was covered by Mo Fan's darkness, looming over the place like Nyx's mantle, big enough to cover a vast area.
Philip jumped out of the window and landed on the outdoor car park behind the hospital.
He was quite agitated, not understanding why Mo Fan knew it was a trap. It was obvious that his plan was flawless.
The only possibility was the smart girl had recognized him as soon as he stepped into the room, and was able to alert Mo Fan in time!
-Damn it!-
How could he allow an ordinary girl to set him up?!
Philip closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings with the Psychic Element.
The Psychic Element was not affected by the Nyx Regime, so he could sense the presence of Sacred Hall Mages within a few kilometers. He still had the symbol of the Sacred Hall Mages on the back of his hand, allowing him to detect the movements of the Sacred Hall Mages with ease!
”Mmm? There's no Sacred Hall Mage nearby?” Philip was confused.
It was impossible that his Psychic Element would be wrong. The pattern on the hand of every Sacred Hall Mage was somehow linked to one another with the Psychic Element, so not a single Sacred Hall Mage could hide from him. As such, he was confident that not a single Sacred Hall Mage was within a few kilometers from him!
In other words, Mo Fan had come on his own!
If that was the case, why was he even running away for? The kid was like a sheep going into a lion's mouth!
Philip slowly turned around and saw Mo Fan turning into a purple-black lightning bolt as he jumped down from the fifth floor. He landed heavily on the ground and constructed a fierce Lightning Disaster.
Philip was not bothered by it. He could easily nullify an attack of that level with a single wave.
He grinned at Mo Fan, ”I was almost tricked by you. There isn't a single Sacred Hall Mage nearby. Are you surprised? I know the movements of the Sacred Hall Mages better than anyone else!”
”I've come to take your life!” Mo Fan said.
”HAHAHA, don't you forget, I was chasing you around like a stray dog just a few days ago! You would have been a corpse by now if the Sacred Hall Mages hadn't made it in time!” Philip burst out laughing. He had no reason to leave if it was only Mo Fan here!
”Do you really think you're strong?” Mo Fan said.
”At least I don't think I'll have any trouble killing you. Actually, I'm quite curious; how did you arrive at the hospital without me knowing? And how did you manage to lay down the Nyx Regime without alerting me? You must have some impressive Shadow-type equipment on you… Mmm, Once I kill you, I'll tear it off from your soul. Even if it's damaged, I believe it's still quite precious!” replied Philip savagely.
Mo Fan indeed had a piece of Shadow-type equipment on him. It was the Dark Noble Mantle he had only received not long ago after defeating the Red Ornaments Guild!
The Dark Noble Mantle had a passive ability. It was able to conceal its wearer's presence, preventing anyone from detecting Mo Fan's aura even when their cultivation was a lot stronger. Similarly, the Nyx Regime was laid out with the help of the Dark Noble Mantle, too. Otherwise, Philip would have immediately noticed the slightest presence of the Shadow Element as soon as it pervaded the hospital!
The Dark Noble Mantle was truly a treasure, and it was only Mo Fan's first time using it!
”Unfortunately, your little Dark Formation isn't going to make much of a difference; it's time to show you what a real Domain can do!” Philip burst out laughing.
The temperature of the surroundings dropped rapidly. The wind blowing at them was starting to have some icy frost in it, as the Ice Element within ten kilometers started to gather toward him...
He closed his eyes, trying to use his Ice Domain to drive Mo Fan's Nyx Regime away.
However, Philip soon noticed that something was not right.
The Ice Elements in the area had been depleted!
There was not much of the Ice Element nearby, as if someone had drawn them away in advance to prevent his Domain from being established.
Normally, his hailstones could easily smash the hospital into debris in less than five seconds, and the streets would also be covered in thick layers of ice. However, even after ten seconds, apart from the frost floating in the air, nothing happened!
Philip was infuriated. He immediately unleashed his Psychic Element and soon noticed an Ice Mage drawing all the Ice magic to her on a building not far away from the hospital!
