Chapter 60: Come Forth, Lightning!
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
“Fire Burst!” Xu DaHuang bellowed, the strong flame in his hands split the night, flying towards the Colossal-Eyed Ape Rat.
Feeling the heat behind him, the cunning Rat tried to dodge to the side.
This move by the Colossal-eyed Ape Rat astonished Mo Fan. It had some keen senses to detect the speedy attack by Xu DaHuang…
It was obviously going to miss. Monsters wouldn’t stand there like a dummy in school, waiting to be attacked.
“Hiding? Futile!” Xu DaHuang laughed in mockery.
The fireball landed where the Colossal-eyed Ape Rat first stood, missing it completely.
“Burst!” he chanted the twist to the technique.
In that instant, a ray of light emerged from the extinguishing fireball as it burst open!!
_Boom…!_
The cloud of fire exploded, waves of fire quickly swallowed everything around the point of impact.
_Crimson fires!!_
The crimson flames engulfed everything in a three-meter radius, including the Rat which thought it had evaded the attack.
A tremor appeared in the air, the explosion was blinding!!
Through the flames, Mo Fan could faintly see the Colossal-Eyed Rat get swallowed up in crimson. Its fat bulk was thrown five, six meters away, slamming head-first into the canteen walls.
Cornered, the Colossal-Eyed Rat thrashed for its life, now stripped of that monstrous air. Now, it was just a half-dead sewer rat.
At this, Mo Fan’s lips stretched into a giant “O”!
_Unbelievable!_
Fire Burst, Burst!!
That overbearing burst effect left no chance for that agile Big-Eyed Rat. The burn and cremation effects paled in comparison to that direct and violent burst effect!
Mo Fan never would have thought that the squad leader of the Hunting squad had trained the Fire Burst technique to the third level. The burst effect nearly killed the Rat instantly.

Man, if he had known Burst during the Spirit Wolf encounter, he could have ended it in a single blast. Would he have needed to run, needed those stalagmites? If those stalagmites weren’t everywhere, and the monster positioned directly underneath one… Last time, he was lucky.
_Unbelievably cool!_
At this point, Mo Fan’s heart toiled like the raging waves of fire.
Thinking about how his fireball could reach this level, his passion for training blazed.
As long as he could master Burst, that Yu Ao wouldn’t be his match, that old geezer Mu Zhuoyun could be smacked so hard that his face would swell up!
_Yes, no matter what, I have to reach the third level in Fire Burst before I graduate, and blind the titanium dog eyes of those old geezers in the Mu Family!_
The experience and skill of the Hunting Squad was apparent when they predicted that the Rat would run after the blast. Fei Shi and Guo Caitang sealed the escape routes of the Rat using their techniques.
“Ku…!!!!” the Big-Eyed Rat roared, and leapt unexpectedly towards Guo Caitang.
Guo Caitang paused, her Ice Vine technique froze the spot where the Rat had just fled. She did not anticipate that the Rat could still thrash so violently.
“Xiao Ke, Water Meld, now!” Squad Leader Xu DaHuang tensed at this sight.
Xiao Ke panicked, frantically linking the Water Star Path. Too nervous, Xiao Ke slowed down and couldn’t cast Water Meld in time.
While Guo Caitang, having faced dangers like this before, grit her teeth and leapt to the side.
Although she couldn’t dodge it completely, as long as she could save her vitals, losing an arm was better than dying.
“Lightning Seal, Python Mark!!”
Multiple seals swarmed in the distance just as the situation turned for the worse.

These seals flogged the Colossal-Eyed Rat and flayed its flesh. The Python marks on the Rat drilled frantically into its muscles, leaving it unable to run.
Halfway through its dash, the Rat seized up and slumped to the concrete, rolling to a stop before Guo Caitang’s legs.
Guo CaiTang paused as she saw the twitching Rat, before jumping back a few meters away. She stared in disbelief at Mo Fan.
“Good Job, Fan Mo!”
“Man, this Colossal-Eyed Rat has to be mutated, why is it more violent than a One-Eyed Wolf? Half-dead and it is still attacking rather than running!” Fei Shi exclaimed, still shocked from the ordeal.
“I’ve told you so many times, be on your guard, be on your guard!! Guo Caitang almost died… If not for the Lightning Mage we recruited today, would the monster be paralyzed? How else do we stop the Rat from staking it all?” Squad Leader Xu DaHuang burst into a tirade.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my…my fault,” Xiao Ke stammered.
“Apologies wouldn’t help if someone died, they can’t hear it in their graves! As the only Water Mage in the team with defense capabilities, your job is to be on your guard! Be ready with your Star Path at all times!” Xu DaHuang bellowed at Xiao Ke.
Mo Fan was slightly surprised, he had expected Captain Xu DaHuang to just nag instead of lashing out at such a cute girl.
However, he wasn’t wrong. Magicians of different Elements had different roles to play when forming a Hunting team. A single mistake in a strategy was not only lethal, but would spell disaster for the entire team. Monsters killed in an instant!
Xiao Ke bit her lip and said nothing, having realized the severity of her mistake.
Guo Caitang did not blame Xiao Ke, instead, she continued to stare at Mo Fan.
She was about to die, but this greenhorn had saved her life!

Valley City. Up until around twenty years ago, it had been a nowhere place. Just a bunch of towns with no real reputation. Now, though, it's known for its progression in medical science. The Medical Technologies Company. It seemed to suddenly appear out of nowhere in the middle of what's now called City Center. Once just a manufacturer and developer of medical equipment, it eventually started to dabble in medical research. Before anyone even knew it, they were the leading research entities, with five seperate buildings in Valley City alone, all towering above everything else in the area. Some say they even swayed the local government into combining the old towns into one city and popularized prosthetic limbs as fashion themselves, but that's just gossip. Matthew Vega. A 25-year-old college dropout, tricked by MediTech into being experimented on under the pretense of participating in a clinical trial for rent money. After being broken out of their facility nearly a year after having her limbs replaced, then having her liberator captured, she seeks a way to dismantle the company or save the one she cares about. NOTE: Currently I am working on a rewrite. I will post a new chapter once that is ready, listed as V2CH-001. I hope you look forward to it.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
