"Could it be that you are a Forbidden Mage?" the captain asked cautiously.
Even a peak supra class couldn't crush the White Sea Monsters like this. After all, with the strength of the Water Spider White Sea Monster, even a peak supra class team might not be able to kill it.
Everyone had witnessed how the immortal was beating the Wave Spider White Sea Monster up. The Super Ruler-level creature was basically pinned to the ground. It did not even have a chance to fight back, let alone fight back!
Apart from a Forbidden Mage, the captain could not think of anything that could crush a Super Ruler-level creature like that!
"Do I look like a Forbidden Mage to you?" Mofan smiled.
"Oh, oh, oh, I know. You must be Wei Guang. It's such an honor to meet you here. You look younger and more handsome than we thought," the bearded captain exclaimed.
The others quickly gathered around, assuming Mofan was the Forbidden Mage Wei Guang who had made great contributions in the Magic City.
Bing Feng's platoon had been overseas. They had only returned to the Magic City after the Magic City Fortress was activated. As such, they were not familiar with the real battle between the humans and the demon creatures in the Magic City.
Mofan did not answer. He waved his hand and bid them farewell.
The captain's eyes flickered. He assumed the man was trying to avoid exposing his identity.
"It's really a Forbidden Mage, Wei Guang. No wonder he's so strong!"
"As expected of the youngest Forbidden Mage. We haven't heard anything about him for almost a year. He must have gone into seclusion to cultivate."
"Sigh, if a Forbidden Mage is so hardworking, what's the point of us working so hard?" the beer-bellied Mage grumbled.
…
The underground fortress.
The fortress was mostly made of steel. It had developed into an underground city hidden deep under the Magic City. It had streets, inns, bars, and shops. It was comparable to a town with a lot of people.
Thousands of people went in and out of the place every day. It had almost surpassed the East Maritime Fortress in Japan. Groups of Mages and Mages with certain strength and reputation from all over the country would visit the place. It was common to see foreign mercenaries too.
The Magic City was an international metropolis. Now that it had been invaded by the sea monsters, the country was desperate to reclaim the land. On the other hand, the powerful sea monsters were using the Magic City as an opening. Many species in the Pacific Ocean were fighting the humans and robbing them of their rare resources.
In the span of a year, Demonic City had completely turned into a battlefield. An endless stream of humans entered the Underground Fortress and launched all sorts of clean-up plans. Countless Sea Demons swam to Demonic City and used the humans' Magic Stones and various other sources of energy to rapidly reproduce and transform.
The humans' Forbidden Spell was recuperating, while the Emperor of the Magical Beasts was also hiding in a certain underground tunnel in Modu City to recuperate. There would not be any intense clashes for the time being. Therefore, this long battle would ultimately depend on the tug of war between the human army and the Magical Beasts.
Bit by bit, the demons were wiped out and Modu City returned to its peaceful state.
Or was it gradually devoured by the fiendish demons, and the prosperous Fiend Metropolis was completely reduced to a land "demon's den".
...
In the Rainbow Wind Tavern, the people of Bing Peak were sitting in the main hall. They were enjoying the dancing girls on the dance floor while drinking iced beer.
They had a great harvest today. They had found a bunch of White Sea Monster Cores for free. On top of that, they had also earned a fortune from the Ruler-level corpses. If everything went smoothly, they would be able to apply to the Magic Association to upgrade their army next year!
The captain was in a great mood. He initially thought they would lose a lot of men in the war, but he did not expect such a great reward to fall from the sky.
"Excuse me for asking, but are you the captain of Soldier Peak?" A middle-aged man who looked refined walked over and asked.
"That's me, who are you?" the captain said.
"Oh, just a moment ago, I heard from one of your men that you stumbled into a Forbidden Mage, Wei Guang, in the Pearl Institute. Is that true?" the man asked politely.
The bearded captain immediately frowned.
He had purposely asked his men not to tell anyone about it, just in case they were accused of picking up the loot. To his surprise, they could not even keep their mouths shut.
"That's not true, I bet the kid was just spouting nonsense when he was drunk," the captain denied.
"But I've asked the other mercenaries about your victory, and they all said that you didn't have the strength to eliminate all the White Sea Monsters. Did Wei Guang help you?" the middle-aged man asked again as he adjusted his glasses.
The captain noticed that the middle-aged man seemed to be a mixed-blood. His skin was very pale, and his eyes were brown. His pronunciation was not very accurate, either.
"I've never seen him before. If there's nothing else, please don't disturb us while we're drinking!" the captain snapped impatiently.
The middle-aged mixed blood gradually smiled, but his smile gave people a bone-chilling feeling.
The bearded captain was someone who had maxed out all three elements, so it was normal for him to be humble in front of an immortal. However, he was not someone who could be threatened by any Tom, Dick, or Harry. He suddenly stood up and confronted the middle-aged mixed-blood.
"Sit down," the mixed-blood man's voice suddenly deepened. He sounded like he was giving an order.
The captain shuddered all of a sudden, as if his sturdy body was being crushed by something. He suddenly slumped into the chair. The chair was smashed into pieces!
The beer-bellied Magician immediately went up to stop the captain.
"Senior, senior, please don't be angry, we did see Wei Guang. He was the one who eliminated the White Sea Monsters. We only helped him clean up the battlefield," the beer-bellied Magician said.
"Oh, describe his appearance," the mixed-blood man said.
"He was wearing a white shirt, with messy black hair, like he hadn't trimmed it for a year. There was a mark on his forehead …" the beer-bellied Magician blurted out.
The middle-aged man seemed to have gotten the information he wanted. He glanced at the bearded captain indifferently and said with a tone of disdain, "In the future, if anyone asks you anything, you'd better answer honestly. My dog is the same. I have to whip it hard before it knows that I'm not playing with it."
The mixed-blood man picked up the jar on the table and poured the cold wine on the captain's face. He was laughing as he poured the wine on the captain's face.
The others of the Bing Peak Troop were nearby, yet no one dared to step forward and stop the man. They were unable to do so, either. The middle-aged man's aura was enough to make them tremble in fear!
After the humiliation, the middle-aged man swaggered off.
Lying on the ground, even though that person had left for a while, the bearded captain was still unable to get up from the ground. His embarrassment was not because he was drenched in wine, but because he was unable to do anything after being humiliated!
