1141 Thousand Lightning Arcs and Chains With a Single Though (1/2)

Five Servant-class Soul Essences were enough to refine a Warrior-level Soul Essence.
Even though the Dark Red Mummies were only dropping Servant-class Soul Remnants and Soul Essences, Mo Fan still ended up earning quite a fortune from them!
Forty-nine Stars of the Lightning Element were strengthened, Mo Fan was excited to see the Stars brimming with new energy.
Drawing a Star Pattern no longer cost much of Mo Fan's energy. His Galaxy could recover the energy in no time. It would be perfect if he could equip some kind of magical gear that would speed up his energy recovery. He would be able to cast as many Intermediate Spells as he pleased!
When a Mage was drawing a Star Pattern, their energy would only be expended when the Mage aligned the Stars. Moving a Star would cost a certain amount of energy, but the energy required to move a level four and a level five Star was the same...
A Spell as strong as an Advanced Spell, but with the time and energy required to cast an Intermediate Spell; how shocking was that?
”Take some rest, I'll handle these undead,” Mo Fan withdrew instead of pushing any further, regrouping with his team.
Mu Nujiao, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Yu, and Guan Yu were under great pressure. Unlike Mo Fan, none of them had upgraded their Basic or Intermediate Spells, meaning that they had to rely on Advanced Spells to kill a group of undead. However, their energy was almost depleted after casting the Advanced Spells too frequently. Most importantly, when they were under great pressure, it was easier for them to get tired, meaning that they would be slower at drawing the Star Constellations, and it was easier to make a mistake. Whenever they made a mistake, they would lose energy, even when the spell was not completed, placing them in a difficult position...
They finally realized how the undead had worn out the English team and the Greek team!
”Is there even a point for us to continue fighting? We should be complaining to the officials instead!” Guan Yu lost his temper.
”I'm really speechless. If those scumbags of the Egyptian team dare to fight us face-to-face, I swear I'll beat the crap out of them!” Zhao Manyan also cursed.
”It's really nothing. If you ever saw a horde or kingdom of demon creatures, it's a lot worse than this,” Mo Fan said.
”That's different! We'll send out an army against a horde or a kingdom of demon creatures, but there are only five of us against so many undead, what the heck are we supposed to do?” Jiang Yu was losing his patience too.
”That's why I'm asking you to back off and take a rest, I'll hold them off for now,” Mo Fan said.
”You?” Guan Yu looked at Mo Fan doubtfully and said with a cold harrumph, ”Mo Fan, we all know how good you are, and you're not scared of being surrounded, but you have to know you were only facing the undead Summoned by two people. If we all back away and leave you here, you will have to face the undead Summoned by five people. Do you really think you are a Super Mage?”
”Mo Fan, don't force yourself. If your energy depletes, there's no way we're going to win the match. We might be grumbling, but we can still hold on,” Jiang Yu agreed.
Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan nodded. These weak undead did not pose any threat to Mo Fan, but if Mo Fan was unable to kill them faster than they were spawning and had to rely on his Advanced Spells, he would be worn out eventually too, meaning that the Egyptian team would still win the match!
”Don't worry, I will only use Advanced Spells as the last resort. Zhao Manyan, set up some hills as barricades and rest up with the others. Leave them to me!” Mo Fan declared.
------
The others did not say anything further after Mo Fan insisted on it.
Zhao Manyan set up a maze with hills before the new batch of undead arrived. The undead would have to take a detour to reach them, and if someone was holding the undead at the front, it would lift the pressure from the people at the back. It was the perfect move against the brainless undead!
The team withdrew to the hills and glanced down from above. They were interested to see how Mo Fan was going to hold the tide of undead off.
”They are coming!” Mu Nujiao had an urge to set up her plants to lend Mo Fan a hand, beginning to feel uneasy.
”Holy crap, they have been stacking the undead and sending them in one go. Can Mo Fan really stop them?”
”There are so many Death Axes Mummies. Sh*t, even an army isn't enough to wipe them all out!”
The tide of undead had grown into an army. The throbbing, dark red dots had devoured half of the island like a huge wave, and was spreading rapidly to the other half!
------
The people watching the match on the cruises inhaled deeply!
The island was crawling with undead. How remarkable were the talents of the Egyptian team, to Summon an entire army of undead? How could the Chinese team possibly stand a chance?
”Are the members of the Chinese team out of their minds? They have all gone to rest, leaving Mo Fan to defend on his own?”
”Just surrender! They should just forfeit the match, it's meaningless!”
---
Neferu of the Egyptian team saw Mo Fan standing in front of his team, while the rest did not seem to be doing anything. He could not help but grin as he stood above an enormous undead creature.
If Mo Fan could really stop the undead that the five of them had Summoned, he would rather eat all the mummies alive. How arrogant and naive was the man, to think that he actually stood a chance against an army of undead?
Did he seriously think he was the strongest in the tournament just because he had defeated Zorro? Even if he was, he was still nothing against their army of undead!
