Chapter 1323: Chapter 1316: The Power of the Mage

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

The Origin Submachine Gun emitted a dull sound different from traditional automatic weapons, and the Dongsheng soldiers attacking the Ten-People Formation in the distance immediately suffered a devastating blow. Their feeble armor couldn’t withstand the power of the Yuanzi explosions and they were blown to pieces, utterly disgraced.

Cheng Ziang had refrained from attacking those generals because he was worried that the Yuanzi gun could accidentally injure Feng. After all, Feng also possessed an Inner Core, and it would be truly embarrassing if he were hit by his own people.

At the same time, using her super mobility device, Tangmo successfully broke into the enemy’s ranks. The peril Feng faced had infuriated her, thus she rarely unleashed her astonishing combat power.

She charged into the enemy lines, gun in one hand and magic wand in the other, and for a moment, no one could stop her. Generals attempted to attack her, but they were immediately enveloped in her flame magic and turned into burning fire figures, emitting painful wails.

As mentioned earlier, the Dongsheng army’s generals primarily followed the Ba Path, which, put simply, is akin to so-called external cultivation. However, in the Otherworld, attacks weren’t limited to physical attacks; magic attacks were also an extremely potent form.

Through the course of the battle, Tangmo had roughly identified the weaknesses of these Ba Path generals—their lack of magic defense—which provided her, a mage, with a great opportunity to act freely.

A battle between a genius mage and a Ba Path cultivator—who would come out on top? The answer was the mage, for the mage’s attacks were highly diverse and primarily magical in nature, whereas the Ba Path cultivators focused on physical defense, unable to defend against magic damage.

Added to this, Tangmo had studied magic from a young age and later received guidance from a Magic Conductor, elevating her magic skills to a level almost qualifying for the Magic Conductor’s hall of fame. It was precisely because of this that she dared to penetrate the ranks of dozens of generals with just a small magic wand.

Originally, the generals were besieging Feng, and it was only Fulajie’er’s desperate efforts that kept the situation barely under control. Then suddenly, a devastating presence attacked from outside, and all the generals, stunned by her imposing aura, launched attacks on her.

This was the first time Tangmo used magic in battle technique, breaking the tradition of mages only standing still to cast spells. Agilely maneuvering, she dodged potential attacks while setting up defenses against incoming ones, then tried attacking the enemies using magic and the Yuanzi pistol.

After a chaotic battle, the generals were surprised to find that they were completely unable to handle this young woman. All their attacks were either blocked or dodged by her—they just couldn’t breach her defenses.

Indeed, this was also because these generals primarily followed the Ba Path, lacking the magic damage of the Royal Dao generals. Because of this, Tangmo could deploy physical defense shields without worry about switching magic shields.

This was very crucial, as if the attack included both physical and magic damage, mages would need to continuously swap shields to defend. This situation was very common in battles on the Western Continent, and the Advance Team had often encountered such scenarios.

Moreover, it was even more critical since the spells for magic and physical defense shields start very similar but end differently, which made it easy to confuse them, thus often leading to situations where a physical defense shield was mistakenly used to block magical damage.

The Church Court of the Western Continent had once attempted to modify these spells, but it turned out that the spells were not something they had invented, nor did they have the ability to modify them.

Due to the generals having almost no resistance to magic, Tangmo decided not to use her gun at all, relying solely on her magic wand which was enough to wreak havoc.

Soon, Tangmo had deeply infiltrated the enemy lines as if entering an uninhabited land. Meanwhile, Feng looked very weak, probably because she had exhausted her magic power, and she was being protected by Fulajie’er behind a barrier, leaving the generals temporarily unable to touch her.

This time, it was fortunate that Luo had the foresight to have Fulajie’er, a demigod, accompany Feng into battle, otherwise she would certainly have been in trouble. Although Feng was a Royal Dao cultivator, the fifty or so generals were not pushovers, and if it really came down to a fight, she definitely would have been overwhelmed.

"Fula, protect me!" Tangmo shouted loudly, rolled to dodge a general’s sweeping attack, and then dashed into the barrier set up by Fulajie’er.

At that moment, Feng was kneeling on one knee, gasping heavily with her right hand clutching her sword, and her face looked rather pale, clearly due to overexertion.

"Are you alright!" Tangmo rushed over, scrambling and stumbling to her side, and asked with concern.

"No, no harm..." Feng stared at Tangmo’s face, so close at hand, as two tears suddenly streaked down her expressionless face.

For the first time in her life, she had experienced this kind of care. The care of an old friend from afar, even when faced with adversity herself, made her heart both sour and warm. She wanted to say something, but the words barely reached her throat before dissolving into a painful choke, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

"It’s good you’re okay, it’s good you’re okay." Tangmo took a long breath of relief, reached out to hug her head, and closed his eyes, genuinely feeling fortunate.

"I’m sorry for worrying you..." The muffled sobs from Feng in his arms brought back memories—Tangmo vaguely remembered the last time she cried was when the prophet had died.

Tangmo had always harbored a unique affection for Feng. Claiming the role of an elder sister due to being born earlier, she assumed it was natural when Luo’er tasked her as Feng’s guardian. However, she soon felt a different kind of emotion blossoming.

As mentioned earlier, she often claimed to be the elder sister, but the members of the Advance Team never took that title for her seriously. The term "Sister Moumou" was merely a polite title, and even Hu Daoke, who had always relied on her, had now grown up.

Even though Tangmo liked to call herself an elder sister, in truth, very few actually considered her as one.

But Feng was different; she genuinely regarded Tangmo as her elder sister, depending on her and trusting her fully. Despite Feng’s own formidable abilities, her shortcomings in daily life made her reliant on Tangmo, forging a deep emotional bond between them.

Feng needed Tangmo to care for her daily needs, thereby recognizing Tangmo’s status as an elder sister and accepting her own as the younger sister. In turn, Tangmo felt an unmistakable responsibility, a feeling she never experienced with anyone else.

This was why Tangmo’s care for Feng was especially sincere, stemming from the heart rather than being a forced obligation.

"Sister Moumou, you shouldn’t have come..." Feng said with a worried expression.

"Don’t worry, I am a mage. To me, these trash are nothing," Tangmo said, releasing Feng, then took a deep breath, stood up, and looked around, shouting loudly, "Fula, cover me, I’m going big!"

"Bad woman, using forbidden curse magic will be a huge burden on your body!" Fearing what she intended to do, the invisible Fulajie’er expressed her concern.

"Just cover me well and nothing will go wrong!" Tangmo replied, lifting her magic wand high above her head, then began focusing intently on chanting spells.

As she chanted, the nearby magic power started to fluctuate violently. Even those who had never learned magic power sensing could easily feel the magic flowing rapidly.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ziang, noticing Tangmo and her companions, immediately turned his gun and fired at the surrounding generals. The unprepared generals were knocked down several times, rolling on the ground to alleviate the intense pain of a Dantian explosion.

Under Tangmo’s guidance, the magic power quickly gathered at her injury, gradually becoming more distinct. The liquid-like magic power refraction made the generals lift their heads and feel a tingling in their scalp.

After about a minute of chanting, a drenched Tangmo finally gathered enough magic power and began to unleash the Semi-Forbidden Curse Magic she learned at Magic Academy—Heavenly Fire Pour.

As she twisted her magic wand, the gathered magic power in the sky ignited and burst forth with a blinding light, enveloping the surroundings in light and heat.

"Heavenly fire, pour!" Tangmo said softly, then swung her magic wand downwards. Accompanying her movement, the burning flames in the sky cascaded downwards like a waterfall, engulfing the barrier in a sea of flames.
