Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Resgarinlan dealt with Count Sion with almost no difficulty.

The bats released by Count Sion only need to be electrocuted by the lightning released by Lei Si and Lin Lan, and they will all be charred to a crisp.

"Damn it, your summoning skill is clearly only at the super-tier level. How could you possibly communicate with the Thousand Races Elf Tower after opening the Ancient Demon Gate!" Sion glanced at his arm, which was trembling from the electric shock, and said to the Ancient Leisi, the enforcer on the Thousand Races Elf Tower.

This Lei Si is on the same level as him.

"It's normal for a vampire to talk so much, having been dead for so long, that he doesn't know many things," Lin Lan said.

When Lin Lan communicated with the ancient demonic sect, he fused with lightning magic and summoned this ancient lightning master, who was of the Great Monarch level!

Lei Si's strength was indeed terrifying. With a wave of his hand, he released a curtain of lightning that enveloped Count Sion, instantly scorching his skin black and festering, and a strong smell of cooked meat filled the air.

"Damn it!" Sion cried out in pain, rolling his body as he tried to escape into the darkness. However, countless sharp bolts of lightning pierced the darkness—in an instant, intense white light intertwined and flashed, forming an ancient lightning array amidst the waves, completely sealing off Sion's escape route.

Unable to withstand such domineering, blazing white lightning, Sion once again burst forth from the darkness.

Its speed was so fast that it split into hundreds of afterimages in an instant.

Lei Si's face was hidden behind the mist of lightning, with only his clear eyes clearly visible.

A hint of almost indifferent arrogance flashed across his eyes.

"boom--------!"

Suddenly, it flicked its sleeve, and a bolt of lightning covered with ancient inscriptions shot out, like a white python coiled around an ancient tree, tearing through the sky with overwhelming force.

Its power was so immense that even Lin Lan, who was watching from the sidelines, could clearly feel the space trembling, as if it was about to be torn apart by this thunder at any moment!

"Bang—!!"

Despite the countless afterimages, Lei Si still precisely locked onto the real body. The white, python-like bolt of lightning struck Sion squarely, sending him flying through the air!

Lightning is too effective against vampires; Sion was nearly killed by this attack.

At this moment, another crimson demonic figure appeared behind Count Sion. His body was tall, strong, and well-proportioned, and his extremely flamboyant blood-red aura outlined a terrifying image, like a throne behind a king, exuding a sense of nobility and majesty!
“There are always some people who like to cause trouble,” the red-clad figure said.

"Lu Kun!" Lin Lan stared intently at the scarlet figure.

Lu Kun finally appeared. But he showed no fear, nor did he hesitate because this was a small town inhabited by humans—as if this place was his kingdom, and he had come here to judge those who broke the rules.

"It seems you've found that little mouse." Lu Kun walked over slowly, his gaze falling on Mo Fan's face. "Now that you know the secret of the Evil Pearl, things are simpler. Consider this half-ripe Evil Pearl fruit my gift to you."

"What do you mean?" Lin Lan frowned.

“Don’t you crave power? I can give you anything you want. Why make a fuss over a mere mountain of imprisonment? If you like it, I’ll give it to you.” Lu Kun appeared unusually generous.

"There are conditions, right?" Mo Fan asked directly.

“Of course. You can also be the one who sets the rules,” Lu Kun said with a smile.

“We are fundamentally different. I am a hunter, and you—are a monster.” Lin Lan shook his head, decisively rejecting the proposal from Red Demon Lu Kun.

"You're nothing but an evil spirit that escaped from the East Guardian Pavilion. You forcibly took over a human body and think you've become a human? And you dare to talk about setting rules?" Lin Lan sneered.

"Oh? You've investigated quite thoroughly. But my name is Yi Qiu. After being framed by a friend, I changed my name and was reborn, personally expelling the demon from my heart. What's wrong with that?"

"Have you ever counted how many homeless people my company has taken in because of the 'Al-Qaeda Project'?" Lu Kun interrupted him, his voice rising. "The mountain of imprisonment allows criminals to regain value and contribute to society—how many people has this thousand-mile-long protective sea wall before you protected from being devoured by sea monsters? I have never harmed them, much less taken any lives. They work for me, are paid, have homes to return to, and can support their families. And all I take in return are their negative emotions—anger, laziness, gluttony, gambling addiction…"

If this were my kingdom, there would probably be no more benevolent ruler than me.

Lu Kun became more and more excited as he spoke, full of confidence in everything he had built, and completely unafraid of a hunter like Lin Lan.

In his view, so-called hunters are often the rule-breakers, fighting in the city and harming innocent people.

But he built a town without crime, without pain, and without conflict.

“If you’ve been to other resettlement towns, you’ll understand—the government is incompetent, the rich are heartless, and the poor are lazy. Everyone seems free, but how is it any different from a prison? Is it really better than my mountain of imprisonment?” Lu Kun stared at Lin Lan, his words sharp.

Lin Lan couldn't help but admire Lu Kun. His eloquence was more than enough for a businessman; he could easily be a politician. With the Magic Council seats in turmoil lately, perhaps he should run for office—after all, the Lu family was a large and powerful family.

"What a coincidence, I happen to need a dog. I can provide it with a comfortable bed and at least one meal of luncheon meat every three days. The only downside is that it has to be leashed when we go out, but otherwise it's great," Lin Lan suddenly said.

Lu Kun did not understand its meaning for a moment.

"What are the conditions?" Lin Lan asked.

"For a dog, that's not bad," Lu Kun replied casually, his expression still composed.

"Alright, then you can be my dog." Lin Lan grinned.

Lu Kun's face suddenly darkened, a mixture of crimson and ashen. It was clear he was struggling to control himself, preventing the狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expression from fully surfaced.

"Stop putting on airs! I know who you are better than anyone!" Lin Lan suddenly shouted.

If those people were truly living in peace and contentment, why would that short-haired little girl have gone to such lengths to search for her father who had been missing for two or three days?

If a utopia free of guilt were truly built, how could Sion, the vampire, dare to openly drink the blood of thousands of people and treat the sleeping as blood bags!
Low-level brutality involves direct plundering and harm;
Advanced brutality involves first enslaving and then stripping them of their rights, turning them into numb slaves whose very will to resist is crushed.

"You could have become one of the creators of a new world with us, but you chose to seek your own death." Lu Kun's body was surrounded by a surging crimson aura.

“Why bother talking to this fool, Master? He doesn’t understand the glory of the Iron Age, nor does he understand that we, as the controllers, are worlds apart from these mortals!” the vampire Sion hissed from the side.

Within the crimson mist behind Lu Kun, countless twisted ghostly figures swayed and emerged. His skin glowed with flowing blood, and an eerie power surged forth, making him far larger than ordinary demons, as imposing as a mountain.

A long, bright red tail pierced the hem of the suit jacket;

His hands transformed into sharp, gigantic claws;

Two fleshy tentacles slowly emerged from between his brows...

It has a tail, claws, and horns.

And yet, they had the nerve to call themselves human?
Ultimately, it was a red demon completely corrupted by evil thoughts, its very soul stained crimson, filled with brutality, terror, and greed...

"Another hunter is about to die by my hand."

There are always people who oppose me.

"Then I'll send you all on your way together!"

Lu Kun slid forward, sending a massive wave of dust crashing down the street. Vehicles on both sides were slammed into shops by an invisible force. Shop windows shattered, beams collapsed, and a crimson figure transformed into a deadly bolt of lightning amidst the smoke and dust. (End of Chapter)
