“What’s that?” Commander-in-chief Xie Qinghua stared at the distant area covered in darkness from the top of the clock tower. She could barely see two huge shadows moving; it seemed like one Black-Silver Rock Demon was killing the other. Cries of agony were constantly echoing over the city.

 A scout came over and blurted out, “Reporting, two Black-Silver Rock Demons have been eliminated!”

“The hundred people who were sent here just now were rescued after one of the Black-Silver Rock Demons was taken out,” an advisor spoke up.

“There are only a few people in our city who are strong enough to kill a Black-Silver Rock Demon, but Lu Bin is leading the Brown Rock Mages, who are surrounded by a large group of Granite Beasts. I wonder who stepped forward to lend us a hand this time!” Xie Qinghua wondered.

“Sir, it’s the student who was with Lieutenant Wen Xia, Fan Mo!” the scout informed her.

“That young man?” Xie Qinghua faintly recalled the young man. She remembered he was the one who was strongly against her decision. “That’s impossible! How is he so strong?”

Xie Qinghua had barely finished her sentence when the screen of darkness dissipated, and the black swamp faded away like a falling tide.

Xie Qinghua picked up her magic glasses and glanced at the edge of the magic Formation.

She happened to see the Black-Silver Rock Demon collapsing to the ground. An unusual dark aura was flowing out of its body. It was obviously killed by some Dark Magic. Meanwhile, a young man with the same dark energy was standing beside the Black-Silver Rock Demon’s remains. It was the young man the scout had mentioned!

“It’s really him… but…” Xie Qinghua was stunned.

Most people who had developed such impressive strength were at least in their thirties. She had never seen anyone able to kill a Black-Silver Rock Demon in their twenties!

“Commander, there are only two Black-Silver Rock Demons left. There’s still hope!” the advisor blurted out excitedly.

“Yes…yes, there’s still hope,” Xie Qinghua agreed quietly.

The only Super Mages in the city were her, Wen Xia, and Lu Bin, but there was now another Mage with outstanding strength who had killed two Black-Silver Rock Demons in a row!

It was important if they had an extra Super Mage defending the city. Xie Qinghua’s heart was racing now. Yes, there was still hope indeed…

“Commander, Wen Xia and the young man seem to be heading to the next Black-Silver Rock Demon!” the advisor said.

“Is that young man possessed by a deity or something? The troop of Advanced Mages we sent out couldn’t even kill a Black-Silver Rock Demon, yet it feels like he can eliminate all of them on his own!”

Mo Fan was like an angel from Heaven for the military and the city. He was so used to situations like this after going through his previous battles. He was a true warrior as he defeated the Black-Silver Rock Demons looming over the city like huge black mountains. The army’s morale rose rapidly as a result.

These high-level creatures had been giving the Battlemages huge pressure during the fighting. Despite the overwhelming numbers of the Rock Monsters, it felt like dawn was right before them when the Black-Silver Rock Demons all fell to the ground!

“Sir, our soldiers have cleaned up the Rock Monsters at the marketplace!” Deputy Lieutenant Hou reported.

“Very good! It seems like the soldiers are much braver after the Black-Silver Rock Demons have fallen.”

“Isn’t that obvious? If I saw such a huge monster in a battle, I might fail to assemble my Star Patterns and Star Constellations properly because of the pressure it gave me. It’s all thanks to Brother Mo Fan! Sir, where did you find such a reliable expert?” Fang Di asked.

Wen Xia’s men were hugely relieved after two of the Black-Silver Rock Demons were taken out, and feeling a lot more confident.

“He claimed to have come here for training with a bunch of students. He only Awakened the Earth Element recently.” Wen Xia grinned when she saw Mo Fan sprinting around.

Wen Xia had discovered Mo Fan was strong when he first came to the city, yet his performance was still beyond what she had expected. She was amused when she recalled how he had agreed to help her, being used as bait to kill the first Black-Silver Rock Demon, with such a close call.

“It’s just ahead, I’ll deal with it alone. The rest of you should head to the next location and clean up the Granite Beasts. I’ll be there soon,” Mo Fan told the people behind him.

Mo Fan quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed a huge bunch of Granite Beasts accompanying the last Black-Silver Rock Demon in the residential area. Mo Fan did not want to waste his time on the Granite Beasts, so he asked Wen Xia and her men to deal with them first.

The Black-Silver Rock Demon in front of them was a loner. It had occupied the central plaza and was fighting against a few of the Brown Rock Mages.

The Brown Rock Mages were too weak to take on the Black-Silver Rock Demon. Their spells only managed to scratch the Black-Silver Rock Demon’s itch. A few rounds later, two Brown Rock Mages ended up falling into the creature’s mouth and were used to increase its strength.

“Are you going to be fine on your own?” Wen Xia said.

“On my own? No no, I have the numbers,” Mo Fan replied.

Wen Xia was puzzled by his words.

Wen Xia brought her men to the residential area. The buildings in the area were not as tall as the busier districts, so it was more difficult for the Mages to conceal their presence.

In addition to that, the number of the Granite Beasts was so high that almost every junction had a Granite Beast on duty. It seemed like the last Black-Silver Rock Demon was their boss.

Wen Xia could not help but turn around while making her way to the residential area.

Didn’t he say he wasn’t alone?

What did he mean by that!?

“Awoo!” Howls suddenly echoed above the central plaza where Mo Fan was. Wen Xia looked towards the noises, and was shocked to see dazzlingly white wolves running around in amazing numbers under the moonlight!

“Where did so many demon wolves come from? Their ranks aren’t low, either!” Deputy Lieutenant Hou blurted out in astonishment.

“Commander-level, they are all at the Commander-level!”

“Where did they…”

“I just saw the light of a Dimensional Summoning Gate!”

“The Summoning Element!” Wen Xia suddenly recalled.

Wen Xia had watched the World College Tournament. She suddenly recalled Mo Fan had another outstanding Element too: the Summoning Element! He had Summoned a pack of demon wolves there, too!

Wen Xia looked back after reaching higher ground. She was shocked to see several hundred white wolves filling up the central plaza. The higher-ranked Moon-Devouring White Wolves were surrounding the Black-Silver Rock Demon while flanking it from all directions!
