Demon Extermination in Progress!

"Water... water..."

The girl's face was deathly pale, and she looked incredibly weak.

She stared at Lan Yu and Mo Fan with eyes filled with terror, hoping they could help her escape the agony of being parasitized.

Lan Yu went to the vending machine to buy water, while Mo Fan took off his jacket to wrap around the girl, carrying her to a safer spot.

Soon, Lan Yu returned with the water, and the girl grabbed the uncapped bottle and drank greedily.

After downing several bottles, the girl finally managed to recover a little.

"Wait here, I'll call someone to take you to the hospital," Mo Fan said.

"Can you... can you not... not leave?" the girl asked, her eyes reddening; she was terrified.

She didn't know what had happened, but she could feel that she had done something horrific, and she now felt an instinctive reliance on these two men who had saved her.

"Don't worry, that bratty girl outside will be here to help you soon," Lan Yu said.

"Who are you calling a bratty girl, you jerk!" Lingling's voice rang out through the earpiece. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, you two shouldn't go in. Wait for my dad and the others to handle it. There are too many red dots inside; it's too dangerous!"

This situation was already beyond what they could handle, and the number of red dots in the gymnasium was still rising.

If they charged in like this, they would likely be swarmed by the red dots.

"Bratty girl, Grandpa always said that a hero never flees from a fight," Lan Yu replied.

Mo Fan was silent for a moment before saying, "Lingling, tell us the location of the next nearest red dot."

"Fine... but be careful. Try to fight in areas with surveillance so I can provide support," Lingling said, giving up on trying to persuade them.

On the surveillance screen, Lingling watched her partner and that annoying guy sprinting through the empty gymnasium entrance.

For some reason, these two, who usually seemed so unserious, possessed a raw courage that feared no demon.

"Twenty meters ahead!"

"There's a wall in front, no door!"

"I checked the gymnasium layout. Unless you blast through the wall, you'll have to run another two hundred meters to get to the other side."

"Damn it!"

With no other choice, the two turned around and began taking the long way according to Lingling's directions.

When entering an unfamiliar place, it is easy to end up going in circles if you don't have a guide or ask for directions.

Besides, blasting through the wall wasn't difficult, but what if there were people on the other side? If they brought the wall down, how would that be any different from murder?

Two hundred meters was nothing for two Intermediate Mages; it didn't take long to cover.

They soon reached what looked like a private dressing room, and Lan Yu delivered a RiderKick to the locked door.

With a loud boom, the door suffered a RiderKick that it was far too young to endure.

The moment the door flew open, the two saw a girl in a performance costume hanging on the wall.

She had already fainted, her wrists slashed, and blood was trickling from the wounds.

Beside the girl, a Cyan-Yellow Demoness was greedily flicking its tongue, licking up the blood that seemed to flow endlessly.

"Die!"

The demoness had been enjoying the taste of blood and wasn't even intimidated when the door was kicked in.

Unfortunately for it, it had run into two protagonists this time.

Rose Flame and Light Radiance, two attacks shining with different glows, flew toward the Cyan-Yellow Demoness.

It managed to dodge Lan Yu's Light Radiance, but Mo Fan's Rose Flame perfectly predicted its movement.

It was struck by the Flame Burst, the exploding fire sending it flying and crashing into several vanity tables.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!"

Lan Yu threw another Light Radiance, heading straight for the Cyan-Yellow Demoness.

The Cyan-Yellow Demoness struggled to crawl up, desperate to get away from the Light Radiance that was like lethal poison to it.

Alas, this wasn't a turn-based game; as Lan Yu attacked, Mo Fan also lashed out with a Thunder Seal.

Crackle—

The Thunder Seal descended, whipping fiercely against the Cyan-Yellow Demoness.

At the same time, the Light Radiance followed closely behind, striking it as well.

"Gah—"

The Cyan-Yellow Demoness let out a shrill, miserable scream before collapsing to the ground, falling into a death-like sleep.

Soon, its cyan-yellow scales began to shed, revealing yet another pale, terrified girl underneath.

Mo Fan grabbed a performance costume to cover the girl, while Lan Yu went to tend to the girl who had slid down from the wall.

Fortunately, he was also a Hunter Mage; though he was just a bit player, he always carried medical supplies with him.

He applied the hemostatic agent to the girl's slashed wrist, and the bleeding stopped shortly after.

Not only that, but her wound had actually begun to heal slowly; it seemed she was a Healing Element mage.

Lan Yu pinched her cheeks to feed her some water, though his technique left Mo Fan completely baffled.

Is this how one treats a lady? So ungentlemanly?

"Annoying brat, cut open her thumb!" Lingling's voice came through the earpiece.

"Little brat, are you trying to teach me how to do my job?"

Lan Yu took out a utility knife and sliced open the girl's thumb, causing a line of blood to appear.

Within seconds, Lan Yu saw something wriggling inside that trail of blood.

The wriggling thing seemed to realize it had been exposed and desperately tried to burrow deeper into the girl's arm.

Lan Yu was quick-witted and fast-handed; he squeezed the creature out like toothpaste, along with a small amount of blood.

A bug the size of a tadpole, covered in greenish-yellow scales, dropped onto the floor.

"Ugh, disgusting." Lan Yu crushed it under his foot with a look of utter disdain.

"Th... thank you..."

The girl woke up just as Lan Yu was crushing the parasitic demon insect.

However, due to excessive blood loss, her face was deathly pale and she looked quite haggard.

"What element are you?" Mo Fan asked casually.

"He... Healing Element."

"Can you cast magic after resting for a while?" Lan Yu asked.

The girl nodded, forcing a faint smile onto her face.

"Alright then, please take care of that other female student. Once you're ready, hide in the infirmary; I recall there being water, food, and medicine there," Lan Yu said.

The girl gave a soft hum of acknowledgment, then asked, "Are there... many more of these monsters?"

"Plenty, but we've already notified the school authorities and the Hunter Union. Everyone will be rescued soon," Lan Yu replied.

To remain clear-headed and calm under such circumstances was truly remarkable.

Had it been an ordinary person who had never seen a demon creature before, they would likely be paralyzed with fear by now.

"If you rescue others, could you please bring them to the infirmary? I can heal them," the girl said with a serious expression.

"Deal."
