"Luckily, the lightning didn't hit me right in the middle. Otherwise, I would have been tortured to death by these wounds," Mofan said with a lingering fear.
The effects of the medicine were slow. The burning pain was getting worse instead of being relieved. Mofan felt dizzy after losing so much blood. It was affecting his concentration.
Mofan used the Fleeing Shadow to sneak to a safe spot. The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon seemed to know where Mofan was running to. It glanced in his direction, but did not chase after him.
It was obvious that the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon's real target was the Barrier Core. If Mofan was trying to escape with the Shadow Element and the Space Element, the Rock Demon would only be wasting its time chasing after him. It would simply leave the human alone after inflicting serious injuries on him.
"Mofan … are you alright!?" Wen Xia asked when she found Mofan covered in wounds.
"I'm not dead yet. It seems like you've infuriated the King of Rocks by trying to build a capital city here. We'll need at least three times the number of soldiers to defend the city," Mofan said, panting heavily.
Mo Fan had been to the west before. He knew how much effort Li Man's sister had put into building a safe city. Even though the city used to be a city of war, with some defensive facilities and local guards, the demon creatures in the caves in the mountains would not just sit by and watch the city evolve into an Elemental Capital and construct such a powerful barrier around it …
The demon creatures had been planning the invasion for a long time. They would not be able to defend the city without at least eight Super Mages and an elite army of over five thousand soldiers.
"We would love to have three times the number of soldiers too, but …" Wen Xia's heart ached when she heard Mofan's words.
It was already their limit to deploy so many people. The coastline spanned over twenty thousand kilometers. Every fortress along the coastline required a strong military presence. Every Headquarter City required patrols. Battles were everywhere. They only had so many people. Even though they knew it would result in a huge disparity in strength after the barrier was set up, they had no choice but to give it a try …
"Don't cry, I'm not dead yet." Mofan saw that the corners of Wen Xia's eyes were full of tears, and her face was full of grievance and unwillingness. He hurriedly comforted her.
"It's not because of you. I'm just ashamed when I think about how the city is going to turn into a city of monsters and how we might need more reinforcements!" Wen Xia said.
"… There's no such thing as an undefeatable battle. If we had won every battle, we would have unified the Earth a long time ago. Why would we still be living in the cracks between the demon creatures' kingdoms? You're just one of the many defeated battles. Relax a little," Mofan said.
"I'd rather die than be one of the losers!" Wen Xia said.
"Wah, don't be so grumpy!" Mofan was a little startled. He quickly said, "Look at you, you're still in the prime of your life, you have a beautiful chest … you still have a lot of wonderful things to enjoy in life. Why are you being so impulsive and sacrificing yourself in a difficult battle? As long as there's life, there's hope. Besides, you have to be responsible for the shadow I might leave behind. How can you sacrifice yourself just like that?"
Wen Xia wanted to laugh when she heard Mofan's nonsense. Why was he still in the mood to talk nonsense when he was covered in wounds?
"Sigh, don't be in such a hurry to die. I'll see if I can get someone to lend us a hand. We might have a chance if she's willing to lend us a hand." Mofan let out a sigh. Judging from the determination in Wen Xia's eyes, Mofan knew the woman would risk her life to defend the city. He had no choice but to ask Little Perky … ugh, Little Apas to lend him a hand if he wanted to take out the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon.
Mofan was not too confident, since a certain Medusa was too proud of her identity. She had only followed Mofan around because she had fallen into the cunning human's trap due to a moment of carelessness. She was now waiting patiently for the right opportunity …
Wen Xia followed Mo Fan's instructions and went to the center of the plaza to look for a young girl who was as pretty as a fairy. As expected, Wen Xia found a girl wearing a T-shirt that revealed her waist beside a fountain statue in the plaza.
The T-shirt was too short, exposing the woman's slender waist to the air. She was wearing a pair of jeans with a low waist. Wen Xia almost fell in love with the curves of the woman's waist.
The area around the fountain was a mess. Not far away, there was the carcass of a Black-Silver Rock Demon. Hundreds of gray cocoons had rolled out from the carcass of a Magician. The girl did not even look at them. Instead, she leisurely put her white shoes aside and soaked her calves in the cold water of the fountain, humming a tune.
This girl looked like the daughter of a god in a tranquil painting. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like she was in a battlefield full of ruins and smoke.
…
Wen Xia led Apas to Mofan. Apas was surprised to see Mofan covered in blood and wounds. She asked softly, "Big brother, how did you get injured so badly? Are you alright? Are you going to die?"
"We have a Contract. How could you not know if I'm injured? You're such a hypocrite. Are you only willing to come to me after I'm chopped in half by the monster?" Mofan snapped.
"How could I not know? I already took care of the black creature as you told me to. I'm also taking good care of your little wolves. What else do you want me to do?" Apas looked so pitiful that she was about to burst into tears.
If Wen Xia hadn't seen Apas leisurely soaking her feet, she would have believed Apas' expression.
"Stop calling me 'me', I can't stand it anymore. Go and kill the Black-Silver Rock Demon. I'll give you as many pounds of lobsters as you want," Mofan said.
"First of all, I'm not a three-year-old kid. Don't try to convince me to do something so dangerous with a few pounds of lobsters. Second of all, I can't take care of the creature. Do I look like a weak Contracted Beast? I'm more than willing to help big brother, but I can't do anything I can't … if you think I'm useless, we can cancel the Contract peacefully, "Apas said.
Mofan felt a headache coming on when he heard Apas' explanation.
Apas was strong enough to take on the Queen of the Netherworld. The Queen of the Netherworld was one of the eight Undead Rulers under the King of Undead, a fighter among the Ruler-level creatures. She could easily defeat a Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon. There was no way Mo Fan would believe her nonsense unless the sun rose from all four directions!
The Contract did suppress Apas' strength when Mofan was still an Advanced Mage.
However, Mofan was now a Super Mage. Even if Apas was at her peak, she would still be affected by the Contract. She was most likely a Ruler-level Medusa!
