"That's impossible, I won't lift the seal before the barrier is completed!" Wen Xia said firmly.
"Don't be so stubborn, if you don't lift the seal, how are you going to deal with the Rock Monsters? The consequences will be unimaginable if the whole city is devoured by the monsters," Mofan said.
"Look up there!" Wen Xia pointed at the night sky and said, "It's midnight when the moon is in the middle. The Barrier Core will be completed at midnight. The barrier won't stop the Mages in the city from using magic. It's only a few hours away!"
Mofan glanced at the crescent moon in the sky and rubbed his scalp impatiently.
A few hours was easier said than done. The Battlemages and the people of the Magic Association clearly did not expect the Mud Morphing Monsters to invade the city. Most of their forces were focused on the ramparts of the city. Now that the ramparts were being attacked by a bunch of Rock Monsters, the city was in a mess. There was no way the city could hold on for a few hours with the limited number of people they had.
Besides, the population in the city was quite dense, and there was not much of an organization. It was easy for the Mud Morphing Monsters to level up their EXP bars. Not only were the two Black-Silver Rock Demons extremely terrifying, many Rock Beasts and Rock Generals had also shown up … even the Rock Monsters were considered the lowest-level creatures!
"If we fail this time, we won't be able to rebuild the city for the next ten years. Without the supply of the stones, the defense of the Headquarters Cities along the coastline will weaken further. If a Purple Level Disaster happens, the Headquarters Cities that we have spent countless resources on will no longer exist. What's the difference between that and the destruction of the eastern part of our country?" Wen Xia said.
When Mo Fan heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
What the heck was going on? Why did it sound like the establishment of an Elemental Capital deep in the woods was a matter of life and death for the human race in front of the Battlemage? Was it really that serious?
Wen Xia maintained the imperious aura of a soldier when she saw Mofan's reluctance to admit it, "Maybe you think the odds of a Purple Level Disaster happening are less than one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, but I can't just let it be, because the consequences will be unimaginable if it really happens."
Mofan was rendered speechless by Officer Wen Xia's words.
After a long time, Mofan finally realized what he wanted to say. His confidence involuntarily weakened a lot as he said, "So no matter what, you won't help me unlock the seal before midnight?"
"Yes!" Officer Wen Xia spat out this word without hesitation.
…
Seeing Wen Xia's attitude of taking the world as her own responsibility, Mofan knew that it was impossible for him to convince her.
Since he could not undo it in advance, he could only wait until midnight. At the same time, he could ensure that the Barrier Core operated safely until midnight.
However, the Mud Morphing Monsters seemed to have sniffed out the location of the Barrier Core. They were heading toward a castle-like building with a clock tower in the middle of the city.
"Don't tell me the Barrier Core is in the clock tower?" Mofan said.
Wen Xia did not answer. Instead, she used her actions to inform Mofan.
"Damn it, wait for me!" Mofan cursed.
Mo Fan followed Wen Xia as they slid down the stairs toward the clock tower. The streets were occasionally lit up with a brown glow. Unlike the past, only Earth Magic was allowed in this city. There was no sign of other types of Magic.
It was worth mentioning that not every Earth Mage was capable of attacking. Under the brutal attacks of the Rock Monsters, the Rock Monsters would have broken through the clock tower a long time ago if it weren't for the tall buildings and the densely-packed streets that served as cover!
…
Wen Xia quickly jumped onto the clock tower. There was a female Magician in an elegant robe standing on top of it. She could easily tell she was a Super Magician from her aura.
A bunch of Rock Generals had been trying to get close to the city, but the Super Mage in the noble robe had been using the unique appearance of the city to keep them at bay.
"Wen Xia, my Gravity Ring can last until midnight. They won't be able to climb up the walls at this rate. They can only linger around the walls, but the two Black-Silver Rock Demons are also capable of using Earth Magic. They are gradually weakening my Gravity Ring. You have to take them out!" the woman in a mage's robe said.
"Teacher, can you hold on?" Wen Xia asked in a concerned voice.
"You have to hold on even if you can't. Don't worry about it, just do as I say!" the woman said.
"Alright, I'll go now."
"Your soldiers will have to stay here, so you have to do it on your own," the woman said.
"I'll do it!"
There was a special troop of Battlemages on the clock tower. Their average strength was in the Advanced Level. Their numbers were not high, but they were extremely strong. The place was safe because of them.
Too many Rock Monsters had shown up in the city center. The people gradually learned about the Mutated Mud Monsters. The woman had already gathered most of the Mages in the city center at the clock tower before Wen Xia and Mofan arrived. It was to gather the rogue Mages and protect the Barrier Core.
When the rogue Mages learned that there were Advanced Mages and experts of the Magic Association in the area, they quickly gathered around to form a defensive force.
"You, come with me!" Wen Xia ordered Mofan without asking anyone else.
"Are you kidding me? I'm no different from an ordinary Intermediate Mage if the Seal isn't broken. You're asking me to help you take on the Black-Silver Rock Demons?" Mofan said.
"You'll help me, I'll take care of the battle. You don't want the Barrier Core to fall into the hands of those monsters, do you? Not only will your magic be suppressed, the city might collapse too. Once the city collapses … "
"If the city collapses, the eastern part of China will be destroyed. If that's the case, China will only exist in name, and Earth will be in danger too … fine, I get it, I'm destined to save the world no matter where I go," Mofan mocked Wen Xia in an exaggerated manner, mimicking the righteous look on Wen Xia's face.
As a matter of fact, the country was still developing, and the Earth was still rotating. Everything was related to the survival of the country!
Wen Xia was infuriated. She glared at Mofan and snapped, "Are you going or not?"
