Versatile Mage

e of training a Forbidden Mage, Pang Lai had turned down the offer.

“I told them that I’ll receive the baptism of the Forbidden Curse only if I’m able to return alive.
The Forbidden Curse is more than a power; it carries enormous responsibility,” Pang Lai said to Mo Fan.

Pang Lai confided in Mo Fan maybe because he knew the outcome of this fight.

“Old Pang, save your words to yourself.
We can leave this place.
We will survive.
Trust me,” Mo Fan assured him.

“Mo Fan, don’t force yourself.
I will be relieved if you can escape from here.
Are you aware that your strength is our only hope? You are as important as Commander Hua! Just leave me and go.
I’ve rejected the Forbidden Curse because I wanted to save it for someone better.
I came here not because of my own righteousness, but because I’m old.
My magical power dwindles over time…” Pang Lai said.
He had no intention of stopping, as if he thought he would not have a chance of saying everything ever again.

Mo Fan stared at Pang Lai, his chest was covered with blood.
Pang Lai had confronted the Eight-headed Serpent and his chest was wounded.
Most of his inner organs were crushed, and he looked weak.
Pang Lai was earnest in his words.

As the Chief Royal Guard, Pang Lai could not show any sign of weakness.
He had to always appear courageous and strong.
However, no one could stop time.
Pang Lai was old.
He had fought many enemies in his life, but age was something he couldn’t fight.

Pang Lai had never been concerned about his age.
However, as time passed he realized that the signs of aging were more noticeable and Pang Lai panicked.

Like most people, Pang Lai accepted that he could not ignore it any longer.
He had to accept that his time was up.
As the Chief Royal Guard, he felt defeated.

When he was eventually trying to accept and move on, an opportunity to step into the Forbidden Curse had arrived.
The Imperial City required a Summoning element Forbidden Mage.
They hoped Pang Lai could become a Forbidden Mage.
They had obtained the rare Dimensional Pistil.

Pang Lai was over the moon the moment he learned that he had been chosen for it.
After all, he had been pursuing the path of the Forbidden Curse all his life…

A few days later, he suppressed his excitement and gave it another thought.

He was aware that the Forbidden Curse would weaken as one grew old.
Even if he became a Forbidden Mage, there was no stopping his advancing age and that would only mean that it was all a waste…

However, the Imperial City hoped Pang Lai would accept the offer.
They instructed him to become a Forbidden Mage.
Pang Lai felt lost and helpless so he decided to come to Hawaii to stall for time and to think things through.

He decided that if he was able to rescue Commander Hua, then becoming a Summoning Element Forbidden Mage in his age wasn’t such a waste.

But now, he wasn’t so sure.
Pang Lai didn’t mind dying here, giving the rest of his team a chance to save Commander Hua.
As for the Forbidden Curse offer, he would feel more at ease if someone younger but capable mage took his place.

Pang Lai wasn’t trying to prove he was humble or courageous.
He wasn’t even trying to show that death meant nothing to him.
He just knew he was old and would keep aging.
