The chief of the Skybound Mages led the way. He bore a bright golden flower broach on his chest. The item represented nobility in Dubai City. It was not an exaggeration to think of him as a noble of the desert.
He walked slowly toward Mo Fan, and the rest of the Skybound Mages followed him.
They were walking in a certain pattern, obviously preparing a Magic Formation to face him with.
The Skybound Mages were a team. Unlike most Dubai Mages, they had been trained and carried out missions together like a military force. They were usually responsible for missions assigned by the authorities of the Dubai Tower.
They were well-trained and had impressive teamwork. They had taken out many powerful Ruler-level creatures in the desert!
They were also all Super Mages, and were stronger than most High Seaters. Most of them had Awakened their Super Powers, too!
The chief was giving orders. Several Wind Mages had already taken off, and were lining themselves up like a Star Constellation.
“Wind Kite Buckle!”
Seven Skybound Mages with the Wind Element were hovering in the sky, each with a wind string tied to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan tried to break free from the strings.
However, the seven Wind Mages followed him around constantly. Mo Fan’s movements were greatly limited, like a huge kite was hanging on his back. He needed to spend great efforts to overcome the resistance with every step he took.
The Skybound Mages soon returned to the ground.
However, the wind strings were still around. They were constantly tugging on Mo Fan to restrain and restrict him.
Mo Fan tried many ways, but he could not destroy the kite strings. The Skybound Mages had some strange abilities, managing to restrain Mo Fan with a strange magic before the fight even began.
“Crush!”
The Wind Mages suddenly sprinted in different directions.
Mo Fan looked up and saw the kite strings being pulled in different directions with great force!
He had heard of a body being dismembered by five horses, but he had never heard of it being done with seven kites!
Mo Fan realized his body could not withstand the great force. He quickly catalyzed the sprouting of the Seeds of Darkness under his feet.
Mo Fan had buried the Seeds of Darkness as soon as he set foot into the tile. He was planning to let the Seeds permeate through the ground longer and establish a Zone that he could move freely through, but he could not wait any longer.
“Walk in the Darkness!”
Mo Fan’s body faded away like a phantom. All Elemental Magic was useless against him in that form.
The strings of the kites snapped as the spell tugged at Mo Fan, but he had already broken free from their grasp with his Shadow magic. He was now sneaking toward the chief of the Skybound Mages.
The chief of the Skybound Mages was very quick at completing Star Palaces. He Cast a powerful Super Spell merely by waving his hand.
Catastrophe Wave!
The waves were ice cold. They could freeze a person’s body and smash it into pieces.
Unfortunately, Mo Fan’s Walk in the Darkness was still in effect. The Catastrophe Wave failed to hurt him.
Mo Fan split into several shadows as he arrived before the chief of the Skybound Mages. Each shadow had the same outline as he did.
The chief realized he was surrounded. He quickly shouted to the others for help.
An ancient bell made of sacred light landed on the chief before the shadows could do anything.
“Well done!” the chief exclaimed, smiling faintly.
However, his smile froze as soon as he finished the sentence.
There was a shadow behind the Light Mage who had Cast the defensive spell. It instantly sliced the Light Mage’s throat open with its claw!
Fresh blood sprayed out from the Light Mage’s throat. He was dying quickly.
He fell to the ground while turning around, clutching at his neck. He was trying hard to look behind him and see how the enemy had closed in without alerting him.
He saw Mo Fan standing behind him, an eerie shadow hovering above him. The man’s eyes bulged with fear.
Mo Fan had been targeting him instead of the chief all along! The shadows around the chief were only decoys!
Mo Fan knew the enemy force had to have a powerful defensive Mage, since he was fighting a proper team of Mages.
The chief was confident enough to stand at the front. Even without protection from the others, Mo Fan knew he could not guarantee he could kill the chief with a single blow.
So, Mo Fan had decided to target the Light Super Mage!
To Mo Fan’s surprise, a strong power of darkness wrapped around him as he made his move, allowing him to kill the target with a single strike.
The Elder of the Shadow Tribe was hovering behind him as his shadow!
It had merged with Mo Fan when he attacked, making his attack unpredictable. The Light Mage had died without even realizing what had just happened.
“That’s right, I’ve obtained the Spring of Darkness!” Mo Fan was initially confused as to why the Elder of the Shadow Tribe had appeared so suddenly, but he realized what was going on when he saw the Sea of Darkness under his feet.
Even though he had not had much time to spread the darkness, it was still thick enough to summon the Elder of the Shadow Tribe because of the power of the Spring of Darkness!
Furthermore, the Elder of the Shadow Tribe was able to use its full strength in the Dark Plane. It was several times stronger than when Mo Fan had Summoned it in the past!
“You have come just in time!” Mo Fan smiled.
He had thought the Elder of the Shadow Tribe was not going to show up, because it was afraid of the Lord of Darkness!
“Tsk tsk tsk…” the Elder of the Shadow Tribe chuckled.
If it had shown up early on, it would have broken the Lord of Darkness’ rules and been punished like Asha’ruiya’s Dark Ice Swordmaster.
The Dark Ice Swordmaster was not a high-level Darkness Creature, so it was unfamiliar with the Lord of Darkness and his nature!
“Hmm, you did a great job hiding. It seems like my odds of winning have dropped even more.” The Lord of Darkness had already seen the Elder of the Shadow Tribe, even if it was fighting in the form of Mo Fan’s shadow.
“I won’t fight with my full strength,” the Elder of the Shadow Tribe promised. It sounded like a small child in front of its lord.
“It’s fine, you shouldn’t underestimate these human Mages if I assigned them as a rook,” the Lord of Darkness waved it off.
The Elder of the Shadow Tribe let out a relieved sigh.
It turned out that it did not break the Lord of Darkness’ rules, since he did not blame it for its actions.
It could kill its enemies as it pleased!
