《Versatile Mage》1557 The Grave I've Built For You

Eerie cries, like a pig being slaughtered, were coming from the underground prison.
"One more time and I'm going to leave you here. It's just some fractures, do you really have to cry so loudly!?" Mu Bai shouted.
"Do you have any idea how painful it is when your joints break!?" Zhao Manyan howled back.
"Can't you see I'm already treating them?" Mu Bai retorted.
"What the heck are you putting on me, holy crap, what are you doing, are you planting a flower in my leg!?" Zhao Manyan screamed.
Zhao Manyan's joints had all been broken. Luckily, Mu Bai had come in time, or they would have broken more of his bones. The pain… Zhao Manyan did not want to experience it again, especially when the fractured bone went into his veins like glass splinters...
"What flower? It's the Bone Rebuilding Wood! Its roots will grow into your joints and melt the broken pieces! Its roots will then connect with your bones and slowly replace the broken bones. It's a trick that only some experienced Plant Mages know!" Mu Bai scoffed.
Mu Bai's third Element was the Plant Element. Even though he was still a rookie when it came to the Plant Element, he was very interested in it. This trick had saved his life once when he was in the wild, thus he was very familiar with it.
However, it was still very painful!
The roots would grow into a person's flesh and connect with their bones. The treatment was definitely a lot more painful than being bathed in a Healer's soothing light, yet even more effective than ordinary Healing Spells!
"Screw you, are you turning me from a cripple to a human vegetable!?" Zhao Manyan yelled.

"Stand up!" Mu Bai told him coldly.
"How do you expect me to stand up when my legs are broken..." Zhao Manyan tried to stand and realized that he could already feel his legs again through the pain.
He tried walking and jumping. His legs had been healed after enduring the tremendous pain!
"Oh my, that thing can really heal bones! Mu Bai, I didn't know you could mix stuff other than the aphrodisiac, well done!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"Keep talking and I wouldn't mind breaking your bones and reconnecting them again!" Mu Bai hissed.
"Don't, I'm just kidding, you saved my life. We are brothers from now on!" Zhao Manyan declared.
"Enough with that, where's the girl? Did you see her?" Mu Bai asked.
"I didn't see her, but I think they took the young Medusa to the front line. That Saks and Gangma are both subordinates of a commander of the Egyptian army. If I'm not mistaken, the person in charge of the battle tonight must be their superior!" Zhao Manyan said.
He had no idea who the person was, but he was deeply troubled, since a high general of the Egyptian army was involved. They clearly could not afford to mess around with a person like that!
"Let's get out of here first, Mo Fan and Heidi are still holding on!" Mu Bai told him.
"Mm! Your Bone Rebuilding Wood is pretty impressive, I feel like I've fully recovered!" Zhao Manyan agreed quickly.
---
The two came out of the fortress easily, as there were not any guards around. A lot of loud blasts were occurring outside. Zhao Manyan was stunned when he saw Mo Fan chasing after Saks. He asked in disbelief, "You call that holding on?!"

Mu Bai was also speechless after seeing that. How crazy was Mo Fan, to be chasing after a Super Mage? Couldn't he leave some dignity for the man?
"Let's regroup with Heidi first," Mu Bai said softly.
Mo Fan was a distance away from them. The fight was clearly beyond their level. It was not like they could provide him any assistance!
Zhao Manyan immediately noticed Ferrero when they headed toward Heidi. He was enraged when he saw the man!
"Damn it, I'm not a man if I don't kill him today!" Zhao Manyan yelled. He ran at Ferrero like a mad bull.
"Zhao Manyan, forget it, let them go..." Heidi spoke up, after seeing Zhao Manyan's reaction.
Their Mentor Vani was already dead. The rest were left on their own, too. Their enemy was never the European University Institute, it was the people from the army.
Forget it?
Zhao Manyan dashed forward fiercely. How could he forget what the assh*** Ferrero had done to him?
If Ferrero kept quiet, he would not have had to suffer at all!
Besides, if Mu Bai had not arrived in time, those people might even have beat him to death in the cell. Gangma was clearly going to kill him after torturing him!
Ferrero knew his words were going to get Zhao Manyan killed, yet he insisted on spilling the beans!
Could he really forget it?
"What do you want? Our mentor is already dead. What else do you want?" Sofia shouted angrily when she saw Zhao Manyan running at them.
"Move aside, Ferrero must die today! You can try and stop me, but I'm afraid you will die a tragic death too!" Zhao Manyan snarled.
Ferrero let out a hollow laugh when he saw Zhao Manyan running at him. "Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can face me!?"
"Dueling Ground of Death!" Zhao Manyan arrived right before Ferrero. He immediately set up the same perimeter he had used when he was fighting the Violet Ghost of the Black Vatican!
If Zhao Manyan, who treated his life so preciously, was willing to go so far, it meant he was really mad!
Sturdy rocks emerged and surrounded the area, forming a dueling ground. Even Sofia, who was trying to stop Zhao Manyan, was forced outside!
"Killing you is as easy as drinking water, you piece of trash!" Zhao Manyan stood inside the dueling ground. He was already wearing a suit of heavy rock armor!
"How I wish you were dead! Since Gangma didn't kill you, I'll do it myself!" Ferrero had totally lost his mind. He yelled and charged at Zhao Manyan too!
Zhao Manyan's cultivation was not weak, but most of his spells were more suitable for defensive purposes. His way of fighting usually involved letting the enemy attack first. When the enemy was worn out and their energy was depleted, he would then use his limited attacks to defeat the enemy.
However, since he had already established the dueling ground, he had no intention of backing away. He was going to break all of Ferrero's bones and let him die in agony!
"This is the grave I've built for you!" Zhao Manyan raised his hand. A Deathstrike Magic Equipment with a blazing white glow appeared in his grasp!

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
