Versatile Mage Chapter 1618 - Fighting the Demon Snake on the Ocean

1618 Fighting the Demon Snake on the Ocean

Edited by Aelryinth

Mo Fan jumped to the top of the currently unneeded sail on the boat and looked behind them.

The yacht was moving quickly, driven by a looping Water Spell that Zhao Manyan had cast. Waves were extending to the side like white curtains on the surface of the sea; behind them was a long shadow. It was still a certain distance from the surface, but it was obvious because of how clear the water was. It was extremely sinister to see!

When did the creature start following the yacht?

Mo Fan had assumed they would not stumble into demon snakes again after leaving the deserts in Egypt. To his surprise, there was such a deadly creature in the Mediterranean Sea!

Its level isnt low, be careful! Mo Fan warned the others.

Luckily, his missing arm had grown fully back. Otherwise, he would have struggled to wield his full strength. Mo Fan glanced at Apas, who looked back at him helplessly.

If Apas had not used the Curse on Ethan, she would have no problem dealing with the Cruel Ocean Serpent. However, her mental energy had dried out. She could not lend a hand, since she mainly relied on her Spiritual Magic!

Holy crap, which god did we end up provoking this time? Why do we always find ourselves in dangerous situations like this? Why did we have to stumble into a thing like this while we are enjoying ourselves!? Zhao Manyan grumbled.

It was fine if some random serpent or monster showed up while they were traveling across the Mediterranean Sea. They could easily just take them out, so why would such a deadly Ruler-level creature show up out of nowhere? Were Ruler-level creatures so common nowadays? How were average Mages going to survive?

Its coming, Mo Fan frowned. He was trying to figure out a way to deal with the Cruel Ocean Serpent.

Any creature that had come for Apas head was at least a Ruler-level creature. The Cruel Ocean Serpent was only a little weaker than the Dark Swordmaster!

If they were on land, with Mo Fans current strength and the help of his teammates, he might have had a chance against the Ruler-inferior creature, but if he was fighting on the sea...

First, the sea greatly limited Mo Fans Fire Magic. His powerful Fire Magic and the fighting capacity he had when Possessed by Little Flame Belle was his best trump card when fighting a Ruler-level creature. Without it, a Ruler-inferior creature could easily kill him.

Second, the Beast Tide spell was completely useless, too. The Moon-Devouring White Wolves, Enormous White Wolves, and White-Marked Wolves were all landlubbers. If they were Summoned onto the sea, they would end up like dumplings in boiling water. Last but not least, his enemy could move freely in the water, while his movement was greatly restricted!

It would be better if there were tall buildings that served as stepping stones around him, like Japans maritime battlefield, but they were currently in the middle of the sea. He could see nothing but water. The environment was unfavorable to him!

Are we fighting? Mu Bai asked.

Mu Bai, how long will it take you to freeze the surface of the sea? Mo Fan said.

An area this size? It least ten minutes, Mu Bai replied.

... Mo Fan was left speechless.

Ten minutes was enough for the creature to digest them into poop. If only Mu Ningxue was here, it would only take her a few minutes to freeze the surface. That would significantly lift the restrictions that Mo Fan was under!

Mo Fan was giving Mu Bai a how-useless-are-you look when Heidi, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, blurted out as a thought crossed her mind, Theres an island behind the mist ahead. Lets fight it there!

Great idea!

Im only worried if this shitty yacht will make it that far.

What did you say? I spent so much money on the yacht. I gave it the name Le Grand Amour! Damn it, if that thing dares to destroy my yacht, Im going to skin it and use it to cover my deck! Zhao Manyan yelled.

Enough talk, hurry up and set up a defense around the ship. Otherwise, it can smash your yacht into pieces with a single wave of its tail! Mo Fan told him.

The Cruel Ocean Serpent did not attack right away. It was obviously probing the strength of the extra people on the yacht. Its long body undulated slowly as it drew closer to the yacht!

It quickly finished probing their strength. It was on the move!

The Cruel Ocean Serpent was massive. Its head reached the right side of the yacht and drew a huge arc under the water. Its long body was curling around the area that the boat was in!

It felt like the yacht had reached a dead end, surrounded by black reefs. The white yacht was like a leaf that was going to sink at any second. Its size was a great contrast to the Cruel Ocean Serpents massive body.

Normally, the fear they felt would be coming from above, when the shadow of some massive creatures loomed over them with an overwhelming presence strong enough to make their hearts pound while they struggled to breathe!

This time, the fear was coming from the water under the yacht. Where they were standing no longer felt safe, as if they would be dragged to the bottom of the sea and drowned in the icy cold water with no chance of resisting!

The water level dropped rapidly. The group suddenly felt weightless!

The yacht was initially moving on the surface of the sea, but they suddenly noticed a chasm opening up. They saw the water rising above them like a massive wall!

Its drawing the water away from this area. Its dragging us to the bottom of the sea! Zhao Manyan yelled.

The Cruel Ocean Serpent did not bother directly attacking the yacht. It was removing the water from beneath the boat. Once the yacht reached a certain depth, it would withdraw its control, and the weight of water pouring down on them would crush them to pieces!

It was unwise to underestimate the force of the sea. Heidi immediately used her Telekinesis as the yacht was sinking.

It formed a silver wedge, holding the yacht in mid-air. The water below continued to fall, but the white yacht floated in the sky.

Cunning bastard, its trying to drown us! Mo Fan cursed. Luckily, Heidi had reacted in time to hold the yacht in the air.

Heidi, can you hold it? Mu Bai asked.

Heidi did not bother to answer him. She slowly lifted the yacht and brought it back to the surface of the sea.

Lets leave this place first, Heidi said.

Do you need help? Mo Fan asked.

The yacht was not light. It was a great burden to Heidis mind and energy to use her Telekinesis to keep the boat floating.

Lifting objects with the Telekinesis was mainly used for attacking. They only needed to speed up the objects after lifting them into the air to either knock their targets away, or throw the objects at their enemy. It was just like a person picking up a stone and tossing it into the distance. The process only lasted for a few seconds at most.

However, levitating an object was different. It required the Space Mage to constantly focus on the object as long as the object was still aloft. The burden to the Space Mage would multiply, depending on the size and the mass of the object. It was just like a person carrying a heavy object with both hands. It was not a trivial task!

Luckily, Heidis Will was very strong. If Mo Fan was lifting the yacht, it would turn into a drop tower from an amusement park if he was distracted somehow.

Heidis Telekinesis was rather impressive. She forcibly dragged the yacht out from the chasm and tossed it back onto the seas surface.

The yacht flew three hundred meters in the air. It finally dropped back to the sea as Heidi struggled to hold on just long enough.

The yacht landed heavily on the surface of the sea and kicked up a huge wave up. Zhao Manyan was bounced from the deck to the back of the yacht. He would have fallen into the water if he had not grabbed the rail in time.

The yacht was obviously damaged from the fall. Zhao Manyan rose to his feet and cried out pitifully, Its no different than being attacked by the creature. A few more times, and my yacht is going to fall apart!

Mo Fan turned around and saw water pouring back into the chasm to fill up the empty space. Currents were flowing from beneath the ship, too. They eventually formed a giant whirlpool with a deafening rumble.

Is it back? Mu Bai asked.

Most likely, Mo Fan cautiously looked around him, but the water nearby was calm. He eventually grumbled, Damn it, I cant see anything on the surface. We wont be able to tell where it is if its moving around deep in the sea!

Mo Fan did not like the sea; he kept feeling like the enemy would suddenly attack from below him, forcing him to be passive. He began to wonder why he even agreed to Zhao Manyans stupid suggestion of taking a yacht to Greece. Wouldnt it be better if they had traveled on land?

Its nearby, dont lower your guard! Heidi warned them. Her face was covered in sweat; she was clearly worn out from using her Telekinesis like that. I can hear it moving!

A Sound Mage was particularly useful in a situation like this. Heidi could easily figure out where the Cruel Ocean Serpent was while the others were struggling.

Mo Fan was getting agitated. He could not use his strength at all. He had an urge to punch the Cruel Ocean Serpent right in the face. He wanted to throw a few punches at the water nearby to vent his frustrations!
