The flames erupted once again. Even though it was not as powerful as the first time Mo Fan was possessed by the Flame Belle, the fourth-tier Fiery Fist was already violent and surging. The female deacon was not a very experienced Advanced Magician. Her defense was punctured, and her severely injured body was unlikely to survive Mo Fan's fourth-tier Fiery Fist!
"Fiery Fist: Nine Dragons!"
Mo Fan was a lot faster at drawing Star Patterns than he was in the past. Being able to draw a Star Orbit with a single thought allowed him to instantly finish a Star Pattern. The blazing red energy of the Rose Flame circled him!
The fiery dragons burst forward and spread out in the shape of a burning fan formed from nine dragons. The lava splattered and the sparks splintered. The plants in the park were burned into ashes, while the raindrops falling from the sky evaporated instantly from the heat unleashed by the Fist...
The woman was enraged and ashamed. The pain in her chest and the burns from the flames were disrupting her channeling speed. She barely summoned out some pieces of ice when the nine fiery dragons lunged at her.
The ice pieces combined into six steely chains the color of ice. They completely intertwined with one another before colliding with the nine dragons.
The female deacon's Ice Lock was obviously only at the third-tier, and since the collision between the fire and ice was very close to her, she was still caught in the impact of the explosion. Her armor could no longer provide any defense, and the shock wave sent her flying again, almost hurled into the street!
The ice chains broke into pieces inside the flames, and soon melted into water. The woman never expected she would be in such a pinch, even though she was an Advanced Magician!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.

She had been too careless. If she knew her opponent had the fourth-tier Fiery Fist, she would have used her subordinates as cannon fodder, giving her the chance to finish him with the Advanced Spell Icebound Coffin!
Now, she was in a very disadvantageous position. She had no chance to draw an Ice Star Constellation!
"Damn it, if my Water Element had reached the Advanced Level too, I would have easily defeated this kid!" The woman clumsily climbed over the fence of the park.
The Advanced Water Spell, Water Curtain, was the perfect defensive barrier. If she had the chance to construct a Water Curtain before channeling an Advanced Spell, the kid would have no chance of harming her even if his fist wore out!
She had to admit that her Advanced Level Ice Element was completely suppressed by her opponent's ability!
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!" Her skin was already festering from the burns. She screamed at her other five subordinates like a monster.
The five Black Clergy were Intermediate Magicians, too. Although they would most likely be killed by the kid with a single punch, anything was better than her, a Blue Deacon, dying!
The five Black Clergy were dumbfounded.
Two of their comrades had already been already blasted into ashes just a few moments ago, even after they were shielded by a Light Protection: Sacred Shield and a Rock Barrier...
The power of the punch that the Fire Magician threw was too destructive for them to handle!
However, if they did not make their move, they would all die, too. As such, they proceeded to command the Cursed Beasts and start drawing Star Patterns.
Five Black Clergy attacking simultaneously was not to be underestimated. Each of them was able to cast Intermediate Spells, but their channeling speed was too slow compared to Mo Fan's, not to mention their lack of Soul Seeds.

Star Patterns of different colors appeared under their feet. Soon, the brown-haired Black Clergyman completed a Plant Spell. Green vines began to grow from the ground under his feet.
At the same time, a crimson-red shadow appeared behind him. Its icy, emotionless eyes were staring down at the Plant Magician's head!
The crimson-red shadow attacked at lightning speed. Its skeletal hand grabbed the man's head and crushed it to pieces, like it was pinching a watermelon!
The Plant Magician was totally clueless about what just happened. His eyes popped out and fell to the ground, still in a widened state, as if he was trying to see what had killed him.
The other four Black Clergy were still busy drawing Star Patterns. Their bodies were splattered with blood before they could react. One of them turned around and shockingly discovered an enraged skeleton standing there!
-Un...undead?
-But when did this undead?...-
The crimson-red steel skeleton was utterly savage. It grabbed another Black Clergyman and tore him in half with brute force.
Not far away, Su Xiaoluo and another villager almost fainted. They had witnessed death before, but never as gruesome as this.
The blood-red skeleton was incredibly fast. After it killed two of the Black Clergy instantly, it suddenly thrust its arm forward. The limb transformed into a long spear, puncturing the chest of another Black Clergyman.
The Black Clergyman was stuck on the skeleton's arm. He did not die instantly, yet he was flung to the ground by the skeleton like trash, his life force and blood draining away slowly.
The remaining two Black Clergy reacted fairly quickly. They immediately summoned their Cursed Beasts back to protect themselves.
Two Cursed Beasts made it back in time and pounced at the skeleton's head and legs, trying to destroy it with their sharp claws.
A piercing metallic screech resulted. The two Cursed Beasts basically hit a piece of steel, leaving only faint marks on the skeleton.
The crimson-red skeleton grabbed the head of the Cursed Beast that was running toward it and slammed it in the direction of the other Cursed Beast...
The two Cursed Beasts collided with one another and fell to the cement stairs, which were destroyed. By the time they got back to their feet, the arms of the crimson-red skeleton had swiftly transformed into bone hammers.
The bone hammers rose above its head, and struck down fiercely at the Cursed Beasts stacked on top of one another. The cement of the lot immediately cracked for ten meters around the impact point, like a great spiderweb!
The bone hammers were lifted up and sent down again. A ring of dust drifted into the air, while splinters and bloody flesh splattered across the place!
The crimson-red skeleton leapt into the air. This time, it stretched the bone hammers into a full crescent and with a thunderous roar, slammed them down like a bolt of crimson-red lightning.
The two Cursed Beasts did not have a chance to struggle. As the stairs were smashed into a pit, the minced meat the creatures had turned into simply filled up the hole.
Such violence and rage left the two remaining Black Clergy trembling in fear.
When they finally remembered to run away, the shadow of the bone hammers loomed over them...

Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.

However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one. Once the Earth reached it's natural limit, and colonies around Terra and Luna had shown promising results, humanity finally decided to make the move to the stars. Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama. Multiple POV protagonists and lots of unnecessary detail. Somewhat psychological. My first work on this website.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
