Versatile Mage

ever, her clear, beautiful eyes did not have any energy in them.

“Big brother, am I causing you a lot of trouble?” Apas asked softly.

Gangma heard Apas’ words.
It was true that she was the cause of everything.
The Egyptian army could spare Mo Fan and the others, as after all, their strength and background were not that simple.
But they could not afford to lose Apas, since they did not want anyone to know they were feeding the young Medusa.
If it was disclosed to the public, it would stir up great chaos in Egypt, or even the entire world!

“I’ve met greater troubles than this, this is nothing,” Mo Fan patted Apas’ disheveled hair.

Apas slowly raised her head.
She stared at Mo Fan for a long time, so long that Mo Fan was starting to feel a little awkward.

Apas was indeed very good-looking.
Mo Fan was astounded by her beauty when he laid his eyes on her the first time.
It was the main reason why he assumed she was the young Medusa, her innocent yet alluring looks.
She was supposed to be a pure little girl, yet her temperament was so attractive.

Mo Fan moved his gaze away.
Otherwise, the girl might notice that she had hooked his soul away.

“Do you like me?” Apas said in a serious voice.

“Ah? Why would you ask that!?” Mo Fan was startled.

“If you don’t like me, why are you protecting me?” Apas asked.

Mo Fan was slightly amused by the question.
He explained, “It has nothing to do with liking a person or not.
I’m a man with flesh and blood.
Just like most people, I hate cruel and filthy things.
However, the world is full of these things, and I can’t eliminate them all like a hero of justice.
But if I stumble into them, I can’t just treat it like I didn’t see it!”

“Oh, oh, so that means if it was someone else instead of me, you would do the same thing too, right?” Apas asked.

“More or less, but it’s a world that fancies the good-looking.
Maybe I’d be more serious if the person is better looking, and I’d be more determined to save the person too,” Mo Fan agreed.

Heidi was not far away.
She was quite touched when she heard the first sentence.
Her impression of Mo Fan was about to change dramatically, but after hearing the second part of the sentence, she once again believed that Mo Fan was being his usual jerk self!

“This one is the last bottle we have.
It will help us survive the night.” Mu Bai came over and gave them a bottle of some thin liquid.

Mu Bai managed to produce a serum that could temporarily restrain the Curse of the Vengeful Eyes.
Unfortunately, the serum could only buy them some time.
It could not get rid of the Curse.

“Let’s rest up.
I bet we’ll be fighting a lot tomorrow, be ready for it,” Mo Fan said.

Mu Bai nodded.
They had not gotten any rest for the past few days, and had even been injured by the soldiers.
If they kept forcing themselves, their bodies and minds were going to break down soon.

——

The group found a safe spot to rest for the night.
The snake demons did not find them when evening came; Mu Bai’s serum had worked as intended.

They were all very tired.
They had to stay focused at all times during their attempt to capture the young Medusa, not to mention the endless torture of the Curse of Vengeful Eyes.
They barely escaped from the army, yet the snake demons and the soldiers were still grabbing for their throats…
