Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
MO Fan never thought that apart from being hellish and disgusting, the Dark Plane also had a stunningly magnificent side.
The silver and black “stomach walls” looked surreal.
Instead of fiery mountains erupting, there were massive ancient palaces ahead. Perhaps some artists in the mortal world had accidentally caught a glimpse of the Dark Plane, and their depiction of this small part was impressive. However, the true Dark Plane would definitely challenge one’s perception of reality.
There were unique colors all around like silvery-black, dark gold, black rose, and crimson. If someone accidentally stumbled upon the million palaces of the Dark Plane, they might mistake the place for a fairyland!
It looked like there were countless mirages with all the palaces stacked amid a dazzling display of starlight. There was no concern for logical layout. Even the roofs and foundations were upside down. It appeared as if some force had randomly drawn them around a massive black palace, but it also seemed like a highly creative god had crafted them. There was a deeper meaning, as well as cause and effect, to everything. Ordinary people would not be able to understand it.
“Wait. Something’s not right. I’ve been to the Dark Plane before. I got sucked in by Su Lu’s special move back then, and I even met the Dark King. He’s a real loser. What I saw then was different from what I’m seeing now. That place felt more like the Dark Plane.” MO Fan felt confused.
He had spent a few days on the Dark Plane, and it had left a strong impression on him. He remembered, in particular, the harsh torture rules that reminded him of hell and some peculiar but intelligent, mysterious creatures. They resembled characters from Eastern legends and Western mythology.
Could this just be a stereotypical view of the Dark Plane?
Black Mages would come up with their own versions of the Dark Plane to make it appear mysterious and scary. They could also leave others with an inexplicably strange and “noble” impression of the place.
However, the Dark Plane before him was just an otherworldly place without any vibrant color.
“The Dark Plane has two regions. The one you’ve been to is called the Exile Grounds. It covers about ninety-five percent of the entire Dark Plane. You can think of it as the wild, untamed part,” Asha’ruiya explained to MO Fan.
“Is what we’re seeing now the main area of the Dark Plane?” MO Fan asked.
“This is where its civilization exists. But it’s different from what we’re familiar with as a civilization,” Asha’ruiya explained.
“I don’t get it.” MO Fan shook his head. He then looked ahead at the swath of weird mist and the blood-red eyes peering through it. “But it’s obvious that these locals have a big problem with someone lively and handsome like me.” “I thought we agreed to follow my plan?” Asha’ruiya reminded him.
“What the hell are you looking at?!” MO Fan headed toward the Eerie Mist and confronted it boldly.
Asha’ruiya facepalmed.
“Why did I even agree to travel with this guy?” She thought to herself.
“Hey! I’m asking you what you’re looking at!” MO Fan demanded once more.
The Eerie Mist was drifting, so he did not know whether it contained a creature with many eyes or multiple creatures. Either way, the stare from those dense and evil triangular eyes gave him a chilling sensation.
MO Fan was annoyed.
How dare those eyes stare at him like that!
On top of that, so many of them were locked on him!
Just then, the Eerie Mist started changing its shape.
It seemed like it had not encountered such a bold outsider before.
The Dark Plane linked to many worlds, including the mortal world, where many Black Mages resided. They would offer their soul energy to such creatures to receive some power from the Dark Plane.
Even though outsiders sometimes entered the Dark Plane, they were always fearful and afraid of disturbing the gods there.
Therefore, the locals liked to tease and torment any outsiders they encountered. But since the Six-Winged Fallen Angel was with MO Fan, the Eerie Mist did not plan on doing anything.
However, to its surprise, the outsider started yelling at it after it stole a few glances.
It was shocked.
It might have been staring at him, but what was the big deal?
“Wow. You’ve got some nerve! Just one sideways look from you feels like you’re disrespecting me. With all those eyes, it’s like you’ve disrespected me a hundred times over. Enough is enough!” MO Fan extended his hand.
There was a Thunderstar Mark on his palm. Upon closer look, one could see the depiction of an incredibly detailed celestial palace.
With little to no preparation, MO Fan effortlessly conjured Super Level Magic in the palm of his hand.
The Eerie Mist closed its several dozen eyes in shock. Who was this guy? He had conjured Super Level Magic without chanting or casting!
The Eerie Mist quickly used its black mist to eliminate the lightning ball MO Fan had created with his palm.
However, MO Fan was fast. He conjured another flame ball in his other hand.
This ball of flame was not like those alcohol-fueled tricks performed by magicians. It had been perfected through many different realms, and it outshone the fires of the Dark Plane. Its core was even black!
“Left hand conjures thunder.
“Right hand imbues flame.
“I haven’t used Fusion Magic in a while.
“Come forth, Overload!”
The lightning and flame then intertwined to create an ultimate bomb. The two dynamic and volatile elements had merged into a single force. Like a mountain-swallowing tsunami, it exploded within the Eerie Mist’s body!
In a flash, the Eerie Mist was torn apart into countless pieces!
Its eyes were like a flock of startled sparrows. They fled in all directions in a panic as its body split apart!
A small part escaped beyond the energy’s reach, but most were not so lucky.
In contrast, the Dark Plane’s palaces were massive and sturdy.
MO Fan’s fusion of the Lightning Element and Fire Element was as powerful as a Forbidden Curse. Despite that, it failed to evaporate the thin layer of water on the ground. The water seemed to absorb the energy and become even clearer.
The rippling waves showed that someone had used powerful magic, but that was it.
The Dark Plane held up well against the bombing.
MO Fan clicked his tongue.
He gave the Dark Plane’s structure a very positive assessment.
However, the locals of the Dark Plane were a bit weak.
He thought they were descendants of demons or gods, so they should be almost as powerful as heavenly beings.
If the creature was that weak, why did it stare at him?
“Still feeling tough?” MO Fan asked.
However, it was not what he had imagined. The Eerie Mist had manv eves because they were its organs.
Its eyes bloomed on its body like flowers, and it would automatically observe everything in its surroundings. This included the unfortunate MO Fan, who had happened to pass by.
These flower-like eyes could also stretch and shrink. Hence, MO Fan was not entirely mistaken when he suspected the Eerie Mist of watching him!
The interesting thing was that the eyes could detach from the main body when things got dangerous.
So, many of the eyes escaped from the dangerous area like flies.
“Alright. Let’s get going. This thing can regenerate. Luckily, it’s afraid of confrontation,” Asha’ruiya said.
“It isn’t dead?” MO Fan asked in surprise.
“It’s hard to die on the Dark Plane,” Asha’ruiya explained.
“I see. People say this place is like hell, and it makes sense. The locals here are basically like the undead.” MO Fan nodded. He gained a new understanding of the customs on the Dark Plane.
Asha’ruiya then walked ahead.
She was already wearing elegant black crystal shoes, with heels that were just above the shallow water.
MO Fan slowed down and glanced at her reflection in the water. He noticed how her graceful figure looked even more pronounced in its skeletal form.
It was surprising that even a skeleton, which typically appeared in biology labs, could be so captivating. There was a saying that even the bones of a beautiful person were alluring, and that seemed true.
“What was that stupid ‘Overload’ thing you yelled earlier?” Asha’ruiya asked.
“It’s when you use Lightning Element Magic first, then follow up with Fire Element Magic. That’s Overload. You can also do it the other way around. For example, Fire Element Magic and Water Element Magic result in ‘Evaporation’ instead of canceling each other out,” MO Fan explained with a smile.
Asha’ruiya could not quite grasp it.
It was probably another one of MO Fan’s strange Fusion Magic.
There were rumors that students in some countries were learning Fusion Magic in magic classes. These were probably the rules and terms MO Fan, the creator of Fusion Magic, had established.
“Water Element Magic can combine with Fire Element Magic?” Asha’ruiya still found it somewhat surprising.
“Yes. It can create ‘Evaporation.’ Some mobile games back home gave me some inspiration. For instance, if you use Fire Element Magic, it can be easily countered with the corresponding element. But if you use fire to boil water, the resulting steam will be quite powerful, like lava. Lava is also a combination of fire and water. Steam spreads widely. Besides covering a large area, it also carries immense energy,” MO Fan explained.
“It seems you understand Fusion Magic well,” Asha’ruiya said.
“Absolutely! You know that I’m a Forbidden Mage now, and Fusion Magic’s power increases exponentially. I can’t just use it casually in the human world. But now that I’m on the Dark Plane, I can use it however I want! Hahaha!” MO Fan laughed, and his teeth shone brightly.
MO Fan’s words disrupted Asha’ruiya’s elegant stride, and she almost tripped.
It seemed that MO Fan was planning to use the locals of the Dark Plane as guinea pigs!
Asha’ruiya turned and glared at him.
“You’re glaring at me too!” MO Fan said with annoyance.
“You can attack me with Overload too!” Asha’ruiya replied.
“Haha. How can I? You can glare at me however you want. If you find that I’m too far away, I can come closer for you to glare at me. Do you want me to turn around, or maybe sideways?” MO Fan chuckled shamelessly.
He was hopeless!
Asha’ruiya recalled feeling a bit attached to MO Fan before leaving. Yet, when MO Fan was right there with her, she found him annoying..
