1646 The Unreasonable Pries (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
The wind howled as the blazing red flames penetrated the silver feathers as the scorching heat finally arrived. Bartholomew already knew the strength of his opponents. It might have taken him by surprise, but he managed to react pretty quickly.
Demon Fangs sprang up and intertwined above Bartholomew, forming a wall to protect him.
The raging flames struck the Demon Fangs. The three Soul-grade Flames were significantly stronger after covering a certain distance. On top of it, the Fire Element naturally oppressed the Plant Element. Mo Fan's fiery dragons were comparable to a Super Spell; the flames soon tore through the Demon Fangs!
The scorching heat swept over Bartholomew, causing him great pain. He could not believe a mere Advanced Mage had the strength of a Super Mage. The flames were actually strong enough to inflict serious injury on him!
Bartholomew's skin blistered. He applied a layer of frost on himself as he forcibly broke free from the storm and the flames. He charged away like a wild beast, but his actions were far from enough to extinguish the flames.
”I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!” Bartholomew yelled furiously. His eyes were bloodshot, his face greatly contorted.
”How simple-minded!” a black figure hiding on the edge of the woods muttered.
Bartholomew was in a pinch. Burns and chills were torturing him at the same time. He had no way of Channeling his Super Spells now, especially with Apas keeping an eye on him.
Apas' strength might be restricted, but as the noblest Medusa, many of her abilities were still deadly against a Super Mage, even when her power was limited. The previous illusion was a perfect example.
As a person became mentally unstable, they became easier to influence with magic. Bartholomew was on the verge of losing his mind from anger, which allowed Apas to take further advantage of him. She had still not used the Curse Element!
The man in the woods noticed Bartholomew in deep trouble. He suddenly showed up in front of Bartholomew.
”Time to go!” the man said.
Bartholomew was not pleased with the outcome. He was about to say something when the man summoned a black wind to surround them.
The wind provided cover for them. When Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue came over to finish Bartholomew off, there was no sign of Bartholomew and the mysterious man.
”They ran away?” Mo Fan scanned his surroundings, confused.
He could sense traces of the Shadow Element, but their opponents were extremely cunning. The traces flew in several different directions, making it difficult for Mo Fan to guess where they actually went.
”They left,” Apas said.
”We'll leave it in the others' hands,” Mu Ningxue said, looking at the winds that were fading away.
”Mm.”
Bartholomew deserved to die, but they did not plan on letting the buyer of the children's hearts go, either!

The two waited patiently. Brianca was following Bartholomew and the mysterious man. She had purposely let Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan deal with Bartholomew to lure out the bigger fish behind the scenes.
”Young Tyrant Titans' hearts... why are they collecting them?” Mo Fan wanted to know.
”The man that saved Bartholomew might be very strong, but he doesn't want any more trouble,” Mu Ningxue said.
”I think I'm very close to the Super Level, but if you and Apas weren't here, I wouldn't stand a chance against that guy,” Mo Fan sighed.
Bartholomew was a tough opponent, having three Elements in the Super Level. Mo Fan was already struggling when he had only used the Ice Element. If Mu Ningxue had not been suppressing his Ice Magic with her Innate Talent, Mo Fan would not have been able to hurt Bartholomew, even after expending all his energy.
On top of that, Bartholomew's Plant Element and Light Element were extremely powerful. Mo Fan was still traumatized by the Demon Judgment Sword; he could still feel the burns all over himself. He had some serious injuries!
Luckily, the little beauty that he had captured recently was as strong as a tiger! The illusion that she had placed Bartholomew under at the perfect time had given Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue the upper hand. Otherwise, Brianca would have had to intervene to save their lives, making it more difficult to track down their target.
”Mm, I have been too busy with other things at Fanxue Mountain. It's time for me to attempt my breakthrough, too,” Mu Ningxue nodded.
She would hardly have any influence before reaching the Super Level. In the past, when they were weaker, they had no choice but to report incidents that involved Super Mages to the Magic Association, and wait for the Magic Association or the Enforcement Union to make their move. However, their enemies would be long gone by the time the Magic Association and the Enforcement Union finally received the instructions from their superiors.
