The Red Demon had directed its energy at a little girl with no hatred spark in order to damage Mo Fan’s soul. In the end, it had failed to collect anything useful.
It had no choice but to use the hatred of the little girl’s neighbor, a jobless man in his fifties, as the core, and wrap it with the sparks of the other residents.
A crimson torture prong soon took shape, floating above the town.
“Aren’t you done with your tricks?” Mo Fan was swaying a little, but it did not prevent him from releasing a pure and dark energy.
The truth was, Mo Fan was grateful to the little girl. She had accidentally stopped the Red Demon from attacking him continuously.
The little time she had bought for Mo Fan was plenty enough for him!
The negative emotions Lu Kun was gathering were dark and evil. They were helping Mo Fan create a perfect environment!
Pure darkness was being born in the dilapidated and filthy swamp!
It could be used to destroy, but it could also be seen as redemption!
The darkness had been spreading silently, and it immediately turned into a fierce sea when Mo Fan Summoned it.
The land was swallowed by the sea of darkness. The waves rolled fiercely with suffocating pressure, like they were stirred up by a huge storm.
The sky was tainted by Flame Belle Empress’ scorching flames, and in the middle between the sky and the ground were crimson sparks and lightning brimming with evil and corruption, providing the Red Demon with his weapons.
A huge poker fell from the sky to attack Mo Fan.
Mo Fan stood on top of a wave of darkness. His confident eyes emitted a sharp light.
“Shadow Fiend: Ghost Destroyer Ship!”
A dark ship rose up from the shadows amid the howls of the waves. Its magnificent appearance stood out on the shadowy sea.
Its sails were broken and its hull was damaged. It did not have the modern and luxurious look of a modern destroyer; its majestic appearance resembled something that had survived countless battles over the centuries!
The Ghost Destroyer Ship sailed with the waves and wove through the dense sparks of hate like a phantom.
Its tall mast was slicing through everything like a black spear. The damaged hull was like a fearless warrior born from the darkness, knocking the filthy evil miasma to the sides with its body.
The Ghost Destroyer Ship rammed its way through the crimson lightning and scarlet instruments of torture. It was snuffing out the red sparks as it sailed through the darkness.
It had consumed all presences of evil!
The Ghost Destroyer Ship eventually broke into pieces. Its debris scattered into the air as it collapsed.
On the other hand, there were no red sparks left behind!
Lu Kun was sent flying by the massive blow as the ship died. The Ghost Destroyer Ship left him with serious injuries.
Mo Fan had endured the hits from the torture instruments not because he did not have an opening to launch his counterattack, but because he needed a power that could destroy the Red Demon’s hatred and shatter its true form!
The anger which had appeared when the Red Demon mocked him was a source of power for Mo Fan as well!
As a Shadow Mage, wasn’t the evil and filth the red demon had gathered a great source of power for Mo Fan?
An untainted soul was able to grow stronger even while being surrounded by more evil and filth. Mo Fan was simply refining his darkness, his own version of a spark amid the anger, greed, jealousy, and hatred!
The Ghost Destroyer Ship was the outcome.
It did not sway as the black tide was carrying it, nor did it tremble amid the storm of crimson lightning. It dared to challenge the terrifying sea, even if it meant crashing into pieces!
It was an embodiment of Mo Fan’s Will!
Hardships, disasters, poverty, and obstacles had never stopped him nor killed him. They had only helped his radiance grow!
“You are just some filth born from evil thoughts. The people you managed to influence just have weak minds, like three-year-olds. You are a pitiful parasite in front of a truly strong person!”
Mo Fan was now walking across the sea of darkness. He could calm the waves and remove the noise if he wanted.
The hatred gathered by the Red Demon was the noise. It was stirring up waves and summoning more crimson lightning, but it was only a part of the darkness. Evil had always been a subset of darkness.
Why would Mo Fan be afraid of a petty parasite if he had control over darkness? A parasite could never grow strong enough to pose a threat to its host if the host was determined to kill it!
If the host was strong enough, the parasites in its body would die on their own!
A host would only help the growth of a parasite if it abandoned itself to despair and allowed the parasites to take over!
“Slashing Shadow Sail!”
Mo Fan waved his hand. The calm sea Mo Fan was stepping on started rolling fiercely as a huge dark sail slashed forward like a sword.
Another sail rose from the sea after he waved his hand again.
Lu Kun was backing away while holding his chest. His red ribs were exposed after the Ghost Destroyer Ship had collided with him. Pure red hatred was leaking out from his body.
That hatred was his essence and his life!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Slaying Shadow Sails swept past him and severed his arms.
His essence immediately poured out from the wounds. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Parasite? He was the parasite?
The Red Demon was born of human hatred, an entity made up of spiritual filth that had developed its own consciousness!
It thought it could control everything, that every human was a source of hatred for it to build its own kingdom!
It was wrong. It was unable to control and manipulate every human, including the first human it had preyed on, Kazuaki.
Kazuaki managed to retain his consciousness even while he was providing the Evil Orb with energy.
He sacrificed himself to wake up his friends, who were trapped like him, and ended up leaving with the demon alone.
After Kazuaki lost control, Senior Hunter Leng was willing to risk everything to eliminate the Red Demon. The fact that he had left a job letter prior to his departure showed that he strongly believed there were people who were not afraid of evil in this world.
Only the weak and the petty would be controlled by the Red Demon. They might get their way temporarily with the new power from the Red Demon, but those who had been through Hell had already defeated the evil in their hearts. How could their Will be overwhelmed by the Red Demon’s manipulations?
Mo Fan had once lived here. He had missed the chance to enroll in a magic high school because of the calamity that had struck his hometown.
After he was set up to live in Lehuo Town, he had cultivated diligently for a whole year.
He had discarded the urge to give up on his life, the option to live a lazy and peaceful life with the government’s aid, and his complaints toward the petty environment with a lack of educational resources.
The Red Demon thought it could use Mo Fan’s past of once living here to defeat him. Little did it know, Mo Fan defeated the red demon the moment he enrolled into the Pearl Institute!
