《Versatile Mage》1631 The Titan Loses Its Calm

Edited by Aelryinth
Mo Fan was stunned after hearing Apas' words.
Who else could it be, if Apas was not referring to that long-faced Zu Kuangli?
Zu Kuangli was obviously lusting after Apas the moment he saw her. If Mo Fan had not been there, he might have tried his best to approach Apas.
Mo Fan was fully aware of it at the dining table, but he did not really think too much about it. Apas' beauty was disastrous. Mo Fan was already aware of how easily he could attract hatred by bringing Apas along somewhere.
"If you weren't referring to Zu Kuangli, doesn't that mean..." Mo Fan's face was filled with disbelief.
Mui Nuxin and Leng Qing were ahead of them, discussing something else. Mo Fan had purposely slowed down behind them.
After a while, he still thought something was strange about what Apas just said.
"Apas, I thought I was overdoing it just then, but I didn't expect you to be more confident than I am… I do admit that you're pretty good-looking, just as pretty as my first wife. It's normal for a man to have some thoughts about a beautiful girl, but why do you sound like that Zu Xiangtian was going to eat you alive? Shouldn't it be that Zu Kuangli instead?" Mo Fan had to ask.
Apas shook her head. She said in a very serious voice," The reason I can tell the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan is about to go berserk is by observing minor things like its voice, expression, movements, state of mind, and psychological struggles. It's like how some spiders in a desert can avoid danger by predicting it through the movement of the wind and the temperature of their foe's blood."
"Predict danger?" Mo Fan repeated. He had heard that some special creatures were capable of doing so instinctively.

"Mm, something like that," Apas nodded. "A person's expression, eyes, limbs, and state of mind are a direct reflection of their thoughts no matter how hard they are trying to hide them. That Zu Kuangli seemed pretty interested in me, but that's a normal reaction for a man. It's just that he wasn't good at concealing it, or perhaps he didn't bother concealing it. You were just like him when you saw me..." Apas said.
Mo Fan blushed. Fine, he did admit that he had been struck by Apas' beauty. "What about that Zu Xiangtian?" Mo Fan said hastily.
Apas was now his Contracted Beast. She had no reason to trick him!
"You might think that Zu Xiangtian wasn't paying any attention to me. He had a stern face, and his eyes were perfectly calm, but I could sense his true emotions under his calm appearance. He was already treating me like prey as we left!" Apas claimed.
"His prey?" Mo Fan harrumphed coldly, "So you're telling me that he's worse than that Zu Kuangli? He's extremely good at concealing his emotions?"
"Oh?" Mo Fan raised his brows.
Apas was still a teenage girl. She might be good-looking, but most people would prefer Rosie or Mui Nuxin, who had a more mature womanly temperament, yet Zu Xiangtian was particularly interested in Apas...
"I've heard that some men prefer younger women the older they get. I didn't expect that Zu Xiangtian to have such a fetish. He's hiding it pretty well!" Mo Fan said.
"You're being too easy on him… his obsession… it might be worse than that," Apas clarified.
Mo Fan's jaw dropped.
Was she claiming that Zu Xiangtian had seriously treated her as his delicate prey, and would try to pull something soon?

Mo Fan was still baffled by Apas' words when Leng Qing suddenly came to a stop. She turned around and waited for Mo Fan with a stern face.
"I've received news from the west of the city. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan has climbed over the wall and tossed a huge boulder at the city. It razed four streets to the ground..." Leng Qing said.
"Did the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan really go berserk?" Mo Fan blurted out in surprise.
Mui Nuxin was startled, too. She was still waiting for her people to get back to her, yet something tragic had taken place before she could find out the truth. She quickly took out her phone and looked for the clips that people had uploaded.
The trail left by the huge boulder as it rolled through the streets was utterly shocking. The debris of the houses it had knocked to the ground were scattered across the place. One of the clips was a gourmet streaming live outdoors. The live stream happened to capture the enormous Tyrant Titan. Many viewers even saw the deadly boulder rolling at the gourmet as he had nowhere to run!
Mui Nuxin stared at her phone. The clips she saw were sending chills down her spine. She was overwhelmed by fear of the Tyrant Titan!
"I told you it might go berserk at any second, including tonight!" Apas reminded them.
Mo Fan looked at Apas, no longer doubting her words. She was indeed sensitive to things like this!
"Quick, let's head to the city's west. The others won't be able to fend off the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan!" Leng Qing said.
Unfortunately, Leng Qing was just like an ordinary woman now, as her cultivation had not recovered. She had trouble keeping pace.
"The Hall of Knights should be heading there now. Let's hope that can make it in time!" Mo Fan knew it was too late even if they headed toward the place now. They were currently on the other side of the city!
Mo Fan was utterly helpless against a powerful creature like the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan. He could only place his hopes on Brianca, Heidi, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan being able to stop the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan from taking more innocent lives before the Hall of Knights arrived.
Mo Fan shifted his gaze back to Apas. He frowned after recalling what Apas just told him.
Zu Xiangtian was clearly one of the people that wanted him dead. The Zu Clan was not going to forgive him, and now Apas was caught in the middle. He would really have to keep an eye on that Zu Xiangtian!

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
