Chapter 16 Mo Fan: Are we using the same magic?
…………
Su Chen confidently stated, "Besides, I haven't been wasting my time these past six months. I have a complete grasp of lightning-based magic and the habits of the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat. With me in front to hold the line, you can just focus on dealing damage from behind. Isn't it better for two people to split the profits than seven or eight?"
Upon hearing the words "the two of them will split the money," Mo Fan's initially uneasy heart was instantly soothed by the magic of money.
"Let's do it! The bold get rich, the timid starve! I'll trust you this time!" Mo Fan gritted his teeth and followed Su Chen onto the bus heading to the abandoned water plant in the South District, half believing and half doubting.
…………
Abandoned water plant in the South District, underground pipe network.
This place is perpetually dark, filled with a strong stench of decay and the acrid smell of ammonia. The occasional dripping of water into puddles echoes through the empty underground space, sending chills down your spine.
Mo Fan followed closely behind Su Chen, his palms already sweating profusely.
This was his first real encounter with demons, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. No matter how troublesome he was at school, a high school student's mental fortitude was still somewhat lacking when faced with such a sinister and terrifying real-world environment.
"Old Su... there aren't any big ones in here, are there?" Mo Fan lowered his voice, which trembled slightly.
"Shh..."
Su Chen, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and raised his right hand to make a shushing gesture.
Just as Mo Fan was about to ask a question, two small, scarlet lanterns suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead. Then, a third, a fourth... In the blink of an eye, seven or eight enormous, bloodthirsty red eyes lit up less than thirty meters away from them!
Accompanied by a sickening scraping sound of sharp claws scraping against the concrete, a strong, fishy stench wafted over.
"Gulp." Mo Fan swallowed hard, feeling his calves cramping.
Seven or eight heads!
There were seven or eight giant, fishy-eyed rats, each the size of a calf!
"Don't panic." Su Chen's extremely calm voice came from the darkness. The voice seemed to have some kind of magic, instantly calming Mo Fan's wildly beating heart.
"Giant-eyed rats are weak; their biggest weapon is just scaring people. Watch closely, I'll teach you what a real lightning mage is like!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling purple light suddenly shot out from Su Chen's eyes!
Of course, he couldn't reveal that he was already a mid-level mage, capable of casting star trails with a single thought or even instantly unleashing mid-level spells. To protect Mo Fan's pride and to avoid appearing too shocking, Su Chen deliberately suppressed the speed at which he connected to the star trails.
He forced the seven stars that could have connected instantly to slowly line up in the mental world.
One second... two seconds.
"Thunder Seal!"
In just two seconds, a dazzling purple star trail formed beneath Su Chen's feet.
"Mad Strategy!!!"
Su Chen suddenly swung his right hand forward, his five fingers spread wide.
In an instant, five thick purple bolts of lightning, like wildly dancing venomous pythons, accompanied by ear-piercing thunder, tore through the darkness and struck precisely into the swarm of rats ahead!
"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"
The instant the lightning struck the giant-eyed rat, blinding bolts of electricity leaped and conducted wildly within the narrow conduit. The level-two lightning seal was not only incredibly powerful but also possessed a potent chain-like paralyzing effect.
The four giant-eyed rats at the forefront didn't even have time to let out a few screams before they were struck by violent lightning, their bodies charred black, their steel-needle-like fur standing on end, their massive bodies stiffened in place, convulsing violently, completely incapacitated!
Hard control!
Absolutely hard control!
Standing behind, Mo Fan could clearly see this scene through the bright light of the lightning.
His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were almost bulging out.
"Holy crap! That's incredible?!"
Mo Fan was utterly shocked!
He knew Su Chen's lightning element was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this ridiculously strong!
With a casting speed of just two seconds, the four ferocious demons were instantly turned into statues with a single strike!
This power and control are ten times more exaggerated than those water control and ground wave demonstrations by school teachers!
Even the fire blast demonstrated by Tang Yue was not as powerful as the lightning seal demonstrated by Su Chen!
"What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for them to invite you to dinner? Make your move!" Su Chen turned and shouted at Mo Fan.
"Oh! Here it comes!"
Mo Fan snapped out of his daze, quickly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began to control the seven lightning-elemental stars in his mental world.
Under the immense pressure of actual combat, Mo Fan's control appeared somewhat rusty. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his mental focus was extremely intense.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
It took a full four seconds for a purple star trail to finally light up beneath Mo Fan's feet.
"Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy!"
Mo Fan roared and also thrust out a palm.
Several bolts of purple lightning flew from his hand and struck the giant-eyed blood rats behind him that were not yet under Su Chen's control.
However, without comparison, there is no harm.
The lightning released by Mo Fan was clearly a level below Su Chen's in terms of thickness, condensation of light, and speed of flight.
Lightning struck the two giant-eyed blood rats, causing them to scream in pain and emit black smoke. However, it only made them stagger back a few steps and their bodies stiffen for less than two seconds before they regained their mobility. In fact, the pain made them even more ferocious, and they opened their blood-red maws full of fangs and roared angrily at the two people.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Mo Fan looked at the results of his actions and felt utterly defeated.
Both are level 2 Thunder Seals, so why does Old Su's release act like a high-voltage electric grid, instantly killing the monster, while mine is like an electrostatic pacemaker, not only failing to control it but also shocking it and making it drowsy?
Are we learning two different versions of magic?!
"Stop questioning your life." Su Chen secretly rejoiced at Mo Fan's dejected look, but on the surface, he still maintained the appearance of a profound and unfathomable mentor.
"I told you before, lightning magic can not only control, but also deal damage! As long as your affinity for lightning is high enough and your mental strength is strong enough, with a little effort, even beginner-level magic can kill demons one-on-one!"
While chatting and laughing, Su Chen began to reconnect to the star track once again.
This time, it didn't even take two seconds; the star trails took only 1.5 seconds to form.
"Take another hit from me, Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy!"
Five more violent purple lightning bolts roared out. This time, Su Chen didn't choose to attack separately, but instead concentrated the five lightning bolts together and slammed them hard into the head of the giant-eyed blood rat that Mo Fan had been electrocuting the most!
