Different World: The Devil's Coming

Chapter 206: Arena of the Dead

When Yun Hui and Mo Fan returned to the academy, it was still dusk and not completely dark.

Mo Fan was a little confused. The arena was a bit like a cave, with only a hole at the top showing the sky. So he was somewhat unclear about the time in the outside world.

Now that I'm back at the academy, I realize it's only dusk, which doesn't seem like the time when the special training ends.

Facing Mo Fan's question, Yun Hui just smiled slightly and said.

"That arena is called the Arena of Death, but it's actually also called the Arena of the Dead."

"The king? Or the dead?"

"Death. I'm sure you've discovered that the people fighting against you are all warriors who died in the arena, and they are the strongest ones. Because the weak will not be remembered by the arena."

"What does this have to do with the deceased's name?"

"The dead are ghosts after death. Do you think ghosts come out during the day or at night?"

"Is it possible!?"

"It's just as you think. For that arena, day and night are two different difficulty levels. The enemies you face during the day only retain their own fighting instincts and do not have any intelligence.

But at night, you will face the warriors themselves. Their figures will carry a trace of their own souls, and restore their true strength to the greatest extent. That is not a battle you have a chance to win now."

"That's it..."

Mo Fan stroked his chin and pondered.

"If you want to fight in the arena at night, that's fine too. Come and tell me after you've won 100 games in a row in the arena during the day."

"100! More wins!"

"Yeah, didn't you hear the rule the first figure told you? You can only keep winning, or you will lose the chance to win again."

"…That sounded weird, so I didn't take it seriously…"

Mo Fan couldn't help but be speechless. Losing the chance to try again, that means it should have been there, right? But if you lose, you can't try again, so what is this chance?

Mo Fan thought this statement was quite problematic, so he ignored it. Who knew it was actually true?

"Well... it's what the ancients said, so it's normal to have some grammatical errors. Anyway, you can only keep winning, otherwise the arena will no longer provide you with opponents. In addition, in the daytime arena, after 50 consecutive wins, the enemy will have the ability to control magic power. That means the enemy's attack and defense can be attached with magic power, so you need to pay more attention to this."

Yun Hui seemed to think that this statement was somewhat problematic, so he briefly mentioned it and passed it over. The second point he raised shocked Mo Fan even more.

Can this figure use magic? Mo Fan couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he thought of the attacks of those figures. That was an attack he couldn't face. If this figure brought magic, what would he play with?

Yun Hui ignored the shocked Mo Fan and left on his own. Before leaving, he only said, "Meet here again tomorrow morning."

Mo Fan had no choice but to accept reality and leave the Adventure Academy.

Seeing that it was still early, Mo Fan went to the cafeteria to buy a meal, then returned to the dormitory and began to flip through the spell album that Gong Yang had given him.

Since he had finally chosen magic, Mo Fan had to plan what to do when his magic power ran out.

Spells are a good choice. They consume mainly mental energy, have a wide range of uses, and are almost omnipotent. The disadvantage is that they are difficult to learn and take a long time to master.

Blood magic was one of the other options. However, Mo Fan did not intend to rely too much on blood magic. Recovery was a built-in feature of blood magic, so it did not matter.

As for the rest… With the Blood Key, Mo Fan was always worried that some vampires would use it to revive. After all, the academy had the Blood Key, so the church must have it too. After all, Yun Hui had said that the academy and the church were exploring together.

Mo Fan didn’t think the church was a monolithic entity, so this blood key…

To be on the safe side, in case of counterattack by the vampires in the future, Mo Fan should not rely too much on blood magic.

There are also magic tools, or technology.

However, Mo Fan had not systematically studied magic tools. He just listened to the craftsmen's brief introduction of magic tools in the Demon King's City.

But when it comes to the use of magic tools, Mo Fan is still very confident.

Therefore, after deciding on magic as the main direction, Mo Fan chose spells as a minor direction. The remaining minor branches were magic tools and blood magic.

Don't pay attention to the blood magic. When you have time, exercise. If you come across some rare treasures, absorb them. Strengthening your body is equivalent to strengthening your blood magic.

As for magic tools, it might take a lot of time to learn them, so Mo Fan didn't plan to learn them, but wanted to rely on money.

Anyway, I have money, and I am just worried about not having enough magic power and thus having no means to fight the enemy. It is not like I have to rely entirely on magic tools.

After a while, it was getting dark, and Ellie opened the door and walked in.

When she saw Mo Fan, Ellie was a little surprised.

"You're back already. I didn't see you in the cafeteria. I thought you were still in training."

Mo Fan smiled and chatted with Ellie for a few words. Seeing Ellie looking at the book in his hand, he handed it to her without hesitation.

"What is this? A spell? Is it okay to just give it to me like this?"

At first, Ellie didn't know what it was, but she was smart and quickly figured it out. After figuring it out, she was even more surprised, surprised at Mo Fan's generosity.

"What's the big deal? I'm still learning now. If you can understand it, maybe you can give me some different inspiration."

Seeing this, Ellie was not polite. After all, no matter whether it was related or not, it was impossible for Ellie to be uninterested in spells. Just like other races were very curious about the ancient writing of the elves, that is, Elvish.

But after watching for a while, Ellie felt dizzy and couldn't continue.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Mo Fan saw that Ellie had put down the book and looked a little unsteady. He quickly stood up and supported Ellie, then asked.

"I feel a little dizzy, and I feel... a little unsteady..."

Ellie's words were intermittent and her legs were weak. If Mo Fan hadn't supported her, Ellie would have collapsed to the ground.

With no other options, Mo Fan could only help Ellie to the lower bunk to rest.

He picked up the spell book and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the master was worried that someone might see it? So he put a curse on the book?"

To know for sure whether it was true or not, Mo Fan could only wait until he returned to the Demon King's City to ask Gong Yang next time.

Ellie lay on the bed for a long time before she came to her senses. She had completely forgotten the spell she had just read. Mo Fan told Ellie about his speculation, feeling a little embarrassed, and said that he did not know anything about it.

Ellie did not doubt Mo Fan's idea, but said gently, "After you learn it, teach me."
