Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Lei Si will face off against Count Sion, while Lin Lan herself will be going up against the Red Demon Lu Kun.

The town of LOHAS is already heavily polluted by industry. To the west is a vast scrap metal yard, and most of the town's open space is piled with scrapped vehicles—cars, motorcycles, and construction machinery—transported from megacities such as Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. They are covered in rust and stretch like mountains.

Of course, the other way around the mountain is Lu Kun's property, the Mountain of Imprisonment.

Compared to that imposing prison, the junkyard seemed like a normal factory. It was said to be run by a distant relative of the Zhao family, and its management was lax and chaotic. In the dead of night, you probably couldn't even find anyone on duty.

Reis flew over there and over here because he was worried that Sionbo would affect the town's residents.

Within a radius of one or two kilometers, anyone hypnotized by him will have their life force slowly drained. This ability has an extremely wide range, like having a slow blood transfusion attached to everyone. As long as the duration does not exceed two or three hours, the residents will not die.

We must never start a war in residential areas; that would be tantamount to dropping bombs into a cluster of buildings.

Fortunately, Lu Kun seems to still want to maintain the disguise of a "high-level tyrant".

He didn't care about the lives of civilians, but a large-scale casualty incident would inevitably attract a large number of mage forces outside the Inquisition. He still had businesses to run, and he could still manage to cover up killing Lin Lan tonight; but if the residents died in large numbers, his disguise would soon be exposed.

It's not time to take off the mask yet.

Lin Lan retreated deep into the junkyard, with Lu Kun close behind. The mountains of abandoned vehicles and the open space presented a perfect opportunity for a desperate gamble.

"Mind control!"

Lin Lan's mind stirred, and her silver eyes suddenly shone with starlight.

The entire junkyard trembled violently, the rusty car bodies clattering against each other with a piercing metallic scraping sound. Countless vehicles, parts, and ironware floated up out of thin air, forming a massive magnetic field around Lin Lan.

"boom--!"

A Wuling Rongguang van was the first to crash down, its front end deeply embedded in the ground, its body splitting the earth like a sharp blade.

“Bang bang bang bang—!”

More wrecked cars continued to fall, like a torrential rain of steel. Parts flew everywhere, tires were torn apart, and the area where Lu Kun was located was instantly submerged.

Lu Kun crossed his arms to protect his forehead, and crimson demonic energy rose from his body, forming a barrier. All the wrecked cars that crashed into the barrier exploded with a bang, shattering beyond recognition.

"rise!"

Lin Lan shifted her thoughts again, directly controlling the crane on the sidelines! The boom swept across violently, shattering the blood barrier and sending Lu Kun flying.

"Lob ball!"

A silver light flashed in Lin Lan's eyes, and three solid hanging balls nearby, used to flatten wrecked cars, swung and smashed into the spot where Lu Kun had fallen.

Lu Kun scrambled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, his sharp claws tearing through the air in several crimson streaks. The three heavy, solid hanging balls were easily sliced ​​open as if they were tofu.

"Playing such a boring trick!" Lu Kun spat, his laughter full of disdain.

"Mad Liquid!"

He suddenly opened his mouth, spewing out a jet of blood-red water like a fountain sculpture. The liquid rose into the air and splashed out, instantly corroding the sheet metal and producing hissing white smoke—ordinary acid can only corrode leather, but this raging liquid can easily melt through even metal. If it splashed on a living person, probably not even bones would remain.

Lin Lan had intended to use these steel ruins as weapons; with such a massive amount of metal, they should be able to fight even against monarch-level creatures. However, Lu Kun's berserk liquid melted away all the surrounding metal, leaving only a foul-smelling solution, instantly emptying the battlefield. "You can control objects, huh?" Lu Kun grinned, his smile growing increasingly sinister.

Lin Lan remained calm. After several tests, Lu Kun's strength had not reached an overwhelming level—of course, if he were to swallow the evil pearl fruit from the Mountain of Imprisonment, the situation would be hard to predict.

"Huhuhu——!"

"Wind Slayer Slash!"

A thousand meters away, a loud shout suddenly rang out. A mage who arrived on the wind swung his arms high, unleashing a sharp wind blade that swept across the sky.

That earth-shattering, mountain-splitting wind-slaying slash came straight at Lin Lan!

"Shua——!!!"

Where the wind blade passed, the junkyard was almost split in two. The piles of junk cars on both sides rolled outwards like waves of metal, and a deep ravine cracked open in the ground.

Lin Lan dodged it. He looked up and saw that the wind mage was wearing a prison guard uniform—the super-level wind prison guard who was being controlled by the Mountain of Imprisonment.

“I can control people.” Lu Kun’s laughter was wild and triumphant.

"Dare to damage the prison mountain or attempt to release a serious offender—whoever you are, kill us on sight!" The wind-element prison guard stood in mid-air, his voice icy.

Lin Lan's eyes darkened.

Lu Kun did not stand idly by just because his side already had a powerful wind mage. He moved swiftly across the ground, his movements unpredictable, constantly closing in on Lin Lan.

The afterimages were numerous, as if dozens of Lu Kuns were simultaneously unleashing their sharp claws all around. Those sharp claws were incredibly powerful; a single strike could slice a heavy truck into pieces, and a slight misstep could result in the loss of a body part.

Fortunately, Lin Lan possessed the danger warning ability granted by her dark veins, allowing her to react in advance amidst the opponent's dazzling red claw-like attacks. Otherwise, under the combined assault from both sides, Lin Lan probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes.

"Shh-!"

Six claw-like beams, crimson as blood and sharp as the moon, swept across the scene, tearing six deep, narrow cracks in the concrete of the car city. Lin Lan hurriedly constructed an air wall with his mind, barely managing to block the danger of the claws tearing his body with his iron will, but he was still thrown backward by the terrifying tearing force. Even with his mental protection, his head was still shaken.

Lin Lan shook his head and saw that the wind-elemental prison guard mage in the air was spinning rapidly, using himself as the eye of the storm, stirring up a turbid and violent mountain-drilling wind top!
"The Blood Pact of the Earth - Fossilized Whale Tail!"

Lin Lan bit her finger, and blood began to drip from it.

The blood quickly seeped into the soil, turning the earth a deep crimson, and the earth churned like ocean waves. As Lin Lan's blood continued to drip, even more violent ripples emanated from the ground.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar erupted, sending up towering waves of dust. An ancient giant whale raised its fossilized tail fin, which blotted out the sky, and then crashed down with a destructive force!
The giant whale did not reveal its entire body; only its tail stretched across the sky like a mountain range, the fossilized bones appearing even more powerful under the moonlight. With a tumbling leap and a slam, the Mountain-Drilling Wind Top collided with the unbreakable fossilized mountain range, the powerful blow sweeping the wind-elemental prison guard mage a thousand meters away.

The fossilized whale tail dissipated, yet the earth continued to tremble, and waves of mud cascaded down from the sky.

Lu Kun was extremely cunning. He had retreated quickly as soon as he noticed the strange movement in the ground; otherwise, that attack would have been enough to injure him.

"Clap, clap, clap." Lu Kun strolled back, clapping slowly.

The Blood Pact of the Earth is a sudden attack, almost without warning. Most opponents would mistake it for a common trick, making it an easy target to catch them off guard and severely injure them. But Lu Kun retreated immediately. His sense of smell was extremely sharp! (End of Chapter)
