Chapter 3139: The Strategy Never Changed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

MO Fan did not know who exactly the religious leader was. But since his dragon sense was warning him against him, the Pseudo Forbidden Curse from before was not going to be enough.

As if he could tell what MO Fan was planning, the religious leader grinned and said, Lets do this, shall we? Ill let you witness a true Fire Element Forbidden Curse. If you remain standing, Ill let you do whatever you want with my soul. The religious leader was not as arrogant as the Titan or as insufferable as Anubis. But if he still said such things after witnessing MO Fans power, that meant he was really confident in his own strength!

MO Fan just straightened his hand and swung it down at the ground to produce a thunderwave!

The thunderwave sent all eight Einherjar Spirits, who surrounded him, flying.

He stared at the religious leader, who no longer had anyone shielding him. MO Fan smiled and shook his head before he said, Sorry, but I wont accept your suggestion.

The religious leader was surprised.

This arrogant brat was not following the martial code of conduct?

Just then, MO Fan said, I can sense that your Forbidden Curse has shocking power. In that case, I can use an even more straightforward method to win against you: I wont give you a chance to cast your Forbidden Curse!

The religious leader was not being a coward by hiding behind the Einherjar Spirits. He just needed the other spirits to buy more time for him.

There were various processes when it came to casting Forbidden Curses. Most Forbidden Curses in the human world required power pooled together by a large number of mages before they could be cast by the caster.

All powerful Forbidden Curses came with challenging casting requirements.

Those who could easily cast these curses were the backbones of the world, and their names would spread to every corner of Earth.

MO Fan might be arrogant, but he was not an idiot.

This man posed a threat to him, and he was supposed to let him cast his Forbidden Curse?

He could not let him cast it at all! And what was a mages weakness?

Melee and interruption, duh!

Besides, Forbidden Curses were incredibly complicated divine creations. If someone you hated stuck his tongue out in front of you and rolled his eyes while you were busy casting a Forbidden Curse, he might cause the entire curse to crumble. So, if MO Fan continuously unleashed a barrage of attacks at the religious leader, he could easily prevent the casting of the Forbidden Curse.

Once he threw aside all the bothersome Einherjar Spirits, MO Fan went straight for his main threat by casting a few teleportation spells in succession. After he made sure that the religious leader did not cast any magic spells around him, MO Fan unleashed a Lightning Lion Prides Charge at him.

Bolts of lightning intersected with each other in the air. Then, the destructive lightning on the ground turned into mighty lions that charged at the religious leader.

The religious leader quickly moved back. His robes moved like the wings of an insect and allowed him to fly so quickly and lightly that it was unbelievable!

He flung his sleeves and pulled out a vessel. The lid was already open.

Suddenly, insects that shone with a phantasmal light flew out in a manner not dissimilar to bees when their hive had been disturbed. A large swarm appeared and formed an army within a short amount of time.

They were Dragon Locusts!

MO Fan had read about such creatures from various books before. They had the most terrifying traits of locusts: the ability to destroy everything within their path when they gathered together in a swarm.

Apparently, even when they flew past a cliff with a dragon occupying it, that dragon would be chewed through until only its bones remained.

Of course, MO Fan knew that this was not the religious leaders Forbidden Curse. But what caught MO Fans attention was the religious leaders arm. He had curse tattoos of the moon on his arm, and they were glowing. MO Fans dragon sense warned him that once those curse tattoos reached his palm, his Forbidden Curse would be complete!

MO Fan attempted to use Sunset Flamesthe weakness of insect swarmsbut the Dragon Locusts had metal armor that was just as sturdy as dragon scales.

They did not appear to be insects from the wild but insects with alloy shells. They were probably created by some alchemist who dabbled in creating strange creatures with supernatural powers. Hence, MO Fans powerful Sunset Flames were useless against them.

The disgusting and dense wave of Dragon Locusts charged at him. So, MO Fan started casting Lightning Element, Fire Element, and Earth Element spells at a rapid pace. In an instant, he unleashed dozens of enhanced super-level spells, and they exploded with the force of a chain eruption from several volcanoes.

Unexpectedly, the elements that he had gathered together soon vanished. Whether it was the scorching Fire Element, the raging Lightning Element, or the sturdy Earth Element, all of them disappeared!

MO Fan used his dragon sense to observe what was going on, only to realize that the energy from his spells was being eaten!

These Dragon Locusts could really eat everything. They even treated the elemental energy from mages as breakfast!

It shook MO Fan to the core. This was his first time seeing insects that could eat magic. The religious leader was not just any normal Einherjar Spirit. He was strong!

Devouring-type Magic was not rare in Dimensional Magic.

However, Devouring-type creatures were rare. What was even more ridiculous about the situation was that these locusts became even stronger after they ate MO Fans spells. It brought MO Fan even greater shock.

So, his destructive power had just become their food?!

The Dragon Locusts were so tightly packed together that they formed a wall that separated MO Fan and the religious leader. If he wanted to get closer to the religious leader and interrupt his Forbidden Curse, then he had to think of a way to get rid of these ridiculous Dragon Locusts.

Unfortunately, Elemental Magic was useless against them. They could eat elemental particles to make themselves stronger.

You should accept my suggestion instead. Dont you want to know your limits? The religious leader smiled again and appeared quite pleased with himself.

He could cast a Forbidden Curse on his own, but the Dragon Locusts were also his greatest pride and joy.

As a mage who ruled over Western Europe two centuries ago, he had a few ultimate spells. While he did not know as many spells as the younger generation, those few spells alone made it so that few could stand up to him in his era!

Heres my suggestion. Youve never seen my real Forbidden Curse before, have you? Ill cast it. If you can survive it, Ill let you go, MO Fan gave his own suggestion.

No need. Ive been preparing for a long time to cast this Forbidden Curse. To stop you from sensing it, Ive only been making really minor movements since the beginning of the fight. The religious leader immediately rejected the idea. MO Fan snorted.

Martial code of conduct, his *ss. This guy just enjoyed stabbing people in the back!

The religious leader was truly cunning. If he had gathered a lot of magic power in the beginning to cast his Forbidden Curse, MO Fan would have sensed it immediately. While the casting time for Forbidden Curses was really long, the area of effect was really wide. Sometimes, even when someone realized that someone else was casting a Forbidden Curse and ran, it would still be too late. Even if they ran to a mountain, it would be leveled to the ground, and even if they hid in the sea, the sea would evaporate.

Time was ticking. MO Fan noticed that the moon curse tattoos had already reached the religious leaders wrist. His opponents smile was no longer just of pure confidence. It was also gradually turning manic.

He could already imagine it: once this guy finished casting his Forbidden Curse, the entire Azure Dragon Land would be affected. After all the effort he put in to give it its current look, it might just end up being thrown into pure chaos again.

MO Fan had to immediately think of something to stop him!

By the looks of it, he was going to have to use his own Fire Element Forbidden Curse.

While he was casting his Forbidden Curse a little later than the religious leader, MO Fan had always been a fast caster. Besides, he had Little Flame Belle helping him, so he should be able to finish casting his Forbidden Curse first.

Little Flame Belle, set up the Forbidden Curse!

MO Fan composed himself and slowly shut his eyes before the howling Forbidden Curse. It was as if he treated the world-ending curse as a mere illusion. What he needed to do was connect the stars and complete the Fire Element Forbidden Curse within the shortest time possible.

He had already mastered all elements, but that only happened when he awakened the Demon Element. It was his Demon Element Magic that had mastered all elements. The creation aspect of the Fusion Magic was also why he could make use of all elements.

However, he had just arrived on the Dark Plane. If he needed to awaken the Demon Element for a minor obstacle like this, he would have trouble further down the road. After all, the Bright Blood King was just one of the Dark Kings, and she was not his true opponent!

Also, before MO Fan awakened to the Demon Element, the Fire Element was the one that brought him into the realm of Forbidden Curses!

In the human world, all Forbidden Curses would bring about irreversible damage to nature. He was embarrassed to admit it, but while MO Fan had practiced casting the Forbidden Curse countless times, he would stop at the final star orbit and never allow the Fire Element Forbidden Curse to materialize in the world.

This time, however, MO Fan did not have to worry about that!

With that, MO Fan drew the star orbits in his world. As he meditated, brilliant Star Palaces stood up one after another like mountains in his mind. The construction of a Star Palace was complex and magnificent, and it required precise maneuvering, but that was just a part of a real Forbidden Curse...

Above the Star Palaces was a wide and magnificent galaxy. It was as if a shrunken universe had once shone brilliantly in this place.

The religious leaders Forbidden Curse was going to be complicated, but his slightly manic smile was tainted with slight puzzlement. He was curious as to why MO Fan would dare to cast a Forbidden Curse after him, and it was a Fire Element Forbidden Curse, to boot!

This time, MO Fan was not using a Pseudo Forbidden Curse. The religious leader could sense the true presence of a Forbidden Curse. The shadow of Flame Belle behind MO Fan was protecting him and also helping him complete this peerless Fire Element Forbidden Curse!

Go! Stop him! The religious leader was finally feeling a little uneasy. He pointed at MO Fan and ordered his Dragon Locust army to attack him.

The casting of Forbidden Curses required a large number of elemental particles.

At that moment, the Fire Element Particles around MO Fan were shining like burning stars, and MO Fan was a god standing among this sea of stars!

Eat the particles! the religious leader shouted.

Tens of thousands of Dragon Locusts charged into the region that MO Fan had created in his meditative state. They stared at the stars that the Fire Element Particles formed with great excitement. They felt as if they had just flown into a palace full of good food.

Unfortunately for them, the Fire Element Particles of a Forbidden Curse were not gentle. They were scorching hot and dangerous, and they were even more dangerous with the Goddess of Flame Belles divine power added to the mix.

These Fire Element Particles were not weak things waiting to be slaughtered. When they were attacked, they started defending themselves.

All the Fire Element Particles quickly gathered together. Then, with the Goddess of Flame Belles guidance, they turned into mini flame spirits that spat out fire and wielded shields of fire. They were like well-trained, uniformed celestial soldiers in charge of protecting their master!

Even before the Forbidden Curses from the two masters could be cast, a brutal and magnificent battle had erupted. The Dragon Locust army fought the flame spirit army, and each clash produced energy that was no weaker than the power of a Pseudo Forbidden Curse!

Many of the Dragon Locusts died, though MO Fan could not tell whether they were living creatures or manifestations of energy.

However, the religious leader did not seem sad over losing them.

He then glanced at his hand; the moon curse tattoos had already reached the life line on his palm.

Did you know that back in my day, the people called me Lord of the Noon Moon? Even the Holy City angels youre scared of have to refer to me as their teacher. Ive heard of you before. You threw the Holy City into chaos not too long ago. I have to admit that the people in charge of the Holy City in this era are all weak and useless. In my day, heretics like you would have been publicly executed and burned to ashes a long time ago! Finally, the religious leader revealed his former identity.

He was the teacher of the Holy City angels! He was once respected and worshiped by people!

Yet, for some reason, his soul ended up on the Dark Plane.

Still, that was not really puzzling. The end of all divine magic had always been the dark, endless abyss, anyway.

What MO Fan found interesting was that the Lord of the Noon Moon was like Michael and Gabriel. He, too, thought that MO Fan was a heretic.

This was all a problem caused by the Demon Element. It was simply not accepted in traditional magic.

Honestly, MO Fan had thought about changing the name of the Demon Element and calling it the Sacred Arrival Element. That way, people might be able to accept it. But at the end of the day, they cast him as a heretic because the power was not under their control.

On top of that, MO Fan refused to work for them. If he had done the opposite, he would not be a heretic. Instead, he would evolve into an angel with his transcendent and divine power.

Do you think victory is within your grasp? MO Fan asked.

Your Forbidden Curse isnt complete, but mine is. The Lord of the Noon Moon cocked his eyebrow at MO Fan.

To tell you the truth, I never changed my strategy from the start, MO Fan said.

What do you mean?

I never intended to let you cast it. MO Fan sneered.

Then, MO Fan canceled the galaxy he had worked hard to create even though his Forbidden Curse was only half a step away from completion!

A spell falling short of success was fatal in a battle between elites, but MO Fan just canceled it!

He turned into a flying beam of light, charged past the unprepared Dragon Locusts, and finally got close to the Lord of the Noon Moon.

The Lord of the Noon Moon was shocked.

What?!

He was just baiting him?!

He never intended to cast the Fire Element Forbidden Curse!

MO Fan only wanted to get rid of his defense line!

The Dragon Locusts had suffered great damage from their battle against MO Fans flame spirits. Since they had also attacked MO Fans territory on their own accord, it became impossible for them to form a wall in an instant!

While the Lord of the Noon Moons Forbidden Curse was already complete, he still needed to cast it. That would take a moment!

MO Fan seized the one short moment and transformed into a cold, merciless dimensional blade.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He moved like a sharp blade and sewing needle. Within a short period of time, he managed to pierce through the Lord of the Noon Moons body dozens of times!

In the end, his trajectory was all connected to form a compass of death. This compass was like an execution rack for souls. The trajectory was branded into the Lord of the Noon Moons back, and he was lifted into the air.

Even though he was about to cast the Forbidden Curse, the Lord of the Noon Moons hands froze in the air. The second MO Fan completed the final thrust, the Lord of the Noon Moons body was cut into 1,214 equal pieces!

It was as if he had drawn surgical lines on the Lord of the Noon Moons body beforehand and cut him precisely according to those lines!

So, the Lord of the Noon Moon failed to cast his Forbidden Curse even though he was just one step away from it!

His eyeballs floated in the air, and they were filled with rage.

He felt so wronged!

If he had cast his Forbidden Curse and MO Fan had managed to withstand it before killing him, the Lord of the Noon Moon might not have felt so horrible.

However, MO Fan killed him just before he cast his Forbidden Curse!

It felt horrible! He felt so wronged!

He was already a soul filled with resentment.. With such a humiliating death, he might just end up being reborn as a ghost filled with even more resentment than before!
