Jiang Yuan picked up the Sacred Spring from the ground and put it into his pocket.
"Fire Seed, Fire Seed, Fire Seed—"
"Bang, bang, bang!!!!!"
"Here, have another Fire Seed!"
"Bang!!"
Mo Fan kept throwing Fire Seeds, having the time of his life, seemingly unaware that his magic energy was nearly depleted.
"Stop throwing Fire Seeds. Your magic energy is about to run out." Jiang Yuan came to Mo Fan's side to remind him, but his voice was drowned out by the explosions of the Fire Seeds.
Mo Fan did not hear him, so Jiang Yuan could only repeat himself louder.
"Huh?"
Mo Fan turned around, looking utterly astonished. "You finished him off?"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"You mean you beat a High-level Mage by yourself?"
"And you won without even getting hurt?"
"That's right. Exactly what you think." Jiang Yuan nodded again in confirmation.
"Holy—shit!!!"
You had to be kidding!
What kind of person was a High-level Mage? He could not even withstand a random spell from one just now.
Yet Jiang Yuan had taken one down alone?!
Mo Fan suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that Innate Dual Elements were not such an impressive talent after all. Even Little Loach seemed like nothing special.
They were all just ordinary, that was all.
"Don't lose heart. Aside from me, you're still very strong." Jiang Yuan smiled and comforted him, then walked over to check on Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin had already been severely injured, and the earlier Ground Wave attack had knocked her unconscious.
Fortunately, she was not in any serious danger.
"You're seriously absurd. How could a Beginner-level Mage beat a High-level Mage? I couldn't resist at all just now."
"Still, I feel like my Fire element magic has gotten stronger. When the flames exploded just now, I could vaguely hear thunder rumbling within them. Its power must have increased!"
"By the way, Jiang Yuan, you're probably no longer at the Beginner level."
Ignoring Mo Fan's endless chatter, Jiang Yuan picked up Lin Yuxin and said, "Stop talking for now. Come out with me first. Something big has happened outside."
Mo Fan still had plenty of questions, but hearing that, he shut his mouth and followed Jiang Yuan into the hidden passage.
This passage led to the back mountain of Tianlan High School.
After passing through it, the three emerged on the northern side of the mountain within the city.
Torrential rain still poured down over Bocheng. Dark, gloomy clouds blanketed the sky, as though they intended to destroy the small city.
Amid the oppressive atmosphere, countless residents ran toward the Safe Zone.
After observing closely, Jiang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Good. His plan had ultimately worked.
There had not been a massive outbreak of demon beasts within Bocheng. This time, not so many people would perish beneath beast claws.
Yet at the towering city walls in the distance, countless flashes of magic flickered as explosions rang out one after another.
Faint wolf howls could be heard carrying through the air, sending chills down everyone's spines.
The real battlefield was outside Bocheng!
"What exactly happened?!" Mo Fan could not help speaking up.
"Demon beasts are attacking the city. The army has sounded the Crimson Alert." After saying that, Jiang Yuan hurried down the mountain.
Mo Fan followed closely behind.
But a monstrous storm had already risen in his heart.
The Crimson Alert was a terrifying crisis that could destroy an entire city!
Could Bocheng still survive?
"Awooooooo~~~~~~~!!!!!!!"
A roar that shook all of Bocheng suddenly rang out, raising goosebumps across everyone's bodies.
Jiang Yuan and Mo Fan abruptly turned around.
A horrifying, shocking sight came into view.
Above the city wall, against the night sky, an enormous black wolf silhouette had somehow already climbed into place.
Its tail hung down along the wall, and its wings were spread wide, completely blocking what little dim light remained.
Its head was raised high, its gaping bloody maw seeming ready to swallow all the storm clouds in the sky!!
The overwhelming pressure made everyone who saw it struggle to breathe.
It was simply too enormous!
It was Jiang Yuan's first time seeing a demon beast of such colossal size in person. It was utterly shocking.
"What exactly is that?" Mo Fan could not recover for a long time.
"A Commander-level demon beast, the Winged Azure Wolf." Jiang Yuan spoke coldly, tightened his hold on Lin Yuxin, and quickened his pace down the mountain.
He needed to send Lin Yuxin to the Safe Zone, then head to the frontline battlefield to hunt demon beasts.
"Quick, quick!"
"Get to the Safe Zone as soon as possible!"
Tianlan High School had formed a vast procession, advancing toward the Safe Zone like a forced march.
In the pouring rain, their figures looked so tiny.
How were they any different from ants migrating in groups when disaster struck?
"Move faster!!" Xue Musheng and the other teachers shouted loudly, afraid of wasting even a single second.
Everyone had just seen the terrifying Demon Wolf sprawled atop the city wall, and despair permeated the entire group.
By now, they had reached a shopping mall one kilometer away from the Safe Zone.
As they passed the parking lot, a roar suddenly came from within. Immediately afterward, more than twenty One-eyed Magic Wolves sprang out, their agile bodies covering four or five meters in a single leap.
Their crimson eyes stared greedily at the delicious students.
"D-D-Demon beasts are here!!!!"
A girl's scream shattered the order, and the group instantly fell into chaos.
"Don't panic! Stay away from these beasts!" Xue Musheng shouted as he and the other teachers stood at the very front.
They were only Beginner-level Mages. What could they possibly do against more than twenty One-eyed Magic Wolves?
Yet they still stepped forward without hesitation.
To protect the students' lives, they were willing to use their own bodies to stand before the Demon Wolves!!
"Teachers, we'll help you!"
Xu Zhaoting, the school's only Lightning element student known to the public, made his move. A Lightning Seal - Wild Strategy burst from the air and struck the wolf pack.
"Get moving! We'll hold them off here. Students like you don't need to show off! Go to the Safe Zone. It's the safest place!" Xue Musheng roared.
The lightning completely stirred up the wolves' ferocity, making them even more vicious.
Xue Musheng was distracted for only a moment before a Demon Wolf knocked him to the ground, its huge fangs biting into his shoulder.
"Splat!!!"
It had happened too suddenly. None of the teachers around him had time to stop it.
Yet before they could rescue him, they themselves became locked in bitter battles with the One-eyed Magic Wolves.
"There are hundreds, even thousands of us students. Even if every person throws out one spell, we can kill these beasts. Listen to me—save all the teachers!"
Xu Zhaoting organized the students to counterattack, gathering every student capable of casting magic.
However, an even more vicious roar rang out once again from the underground parking lot shrouded in darkness.
Two Demon Wolves large enough to fill the entire underground parking lot exit slowly emerged.
Unlike the One-eyed Magic Wolves, they had three blood-red eyes spinning wildly in their sockets!
"Those are Warrior-level demon beasts, Three-eyed Magic Wolves!" Zhou Min, the Seed Class monitor, cried out.
The appearance of two Warrior-level demon beasts instantly left the students frozen in shock.
Were the teachers going to die like this?
We were clearly all Mages, so why could we not kill these damned beastly demon beasts!!!
"These are not demon beasts we can handle at all," Xu Zhaoting said in a voice filled with despair.
Just as everyone resigned themselves to their fate, someone they never expected arrived.
"Storm Wave—Flood Surge!"
A violent torrent poured down from the heavens, instantly swallowing the Three-eyed Magic Wolves, the One-eyed Magic Wolves, and the teachers trapped deep within the encirclement.
