1758 Stirring Up Trouble (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
Mo Fan quickly shook his head. ”Why would I even bother? I'm only a Basic Mage now!”
The Barrier Core had turned the whole place within fifty kilometers into a Magic Sealed Area where only the Earth Element was available. With Mo Fan's current capabilities, he would have to flee for his life like a dog, even if he only found a slightly valuable Earth Crystal in the cave!
He had to remain calm and refrain from stirring up any trouble. He had to stick to his disguise of a student with the Earth Element, for the sake of his country!
He took a few deep breaths of the fresh air in the mountain and reclaimed his temperament as someone who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Didn't the experts living in seclusion always behave like this? Even though his heart was going to stay reckless until he had reached the age of a hundred, he did not mind enjoying some peace once in a while.
Thud!
Mo Fan noticed a sudden movement in the darkness he was staring at. A huge figure slowly came out of the dark ravine.
”A demon creature has shown up!” a Battlemage suddenly yelled while firing a Light Spell into the sky as a signal for others to prepare for battle.
”It seems something is crawling out from the cave. It's a very common sight in this city.”
”It looks pretty tough. It's too dark to see it clearly.”
”It's coming out, it's out, how reckless is that thing? Isn't it worried that the Mages here are going to blast it into pieces!”
Mo Fan and the group were standing on safe walls. The ravine was very intimidating to look at, but the huge creature coming out from it did not seem to be too strong.
A troop of Battlemages soon showed up. They spread out between the ravine and the walls of the city, working to prevent the demon creature from entering the city.
The monster opened its mouth and roared at the troop of Battlemages blocking its way.
The monster was rather fearless. It charged at the Battlemages with huge strides!
It was around four meters long. Its body ratio resembled a weightlifter with a massive build, something that had undergone long periods of training. It was not that huge compared to other demon creatures, but it was still impressive when the demon creature was charging towards them at full speed!
The monster's hide was light brown. The group only discovered it was covered in rocks after it left the shadows in the ravine. More precisely, it was a Rock Monster!
The Rock Monster charged ferociously, and smashed right through the rock barrier in front of it, a temporary defense the Battlemages had set up. They initially thought it was enough to stop the Rock Monster, yet it had collapsed like mere sand.
Luckily, the Battlemages were well-trained. They quickly moved into formations and stood at different angles facing the Rock Monster.
The Barrier Core was still being set up, hence the Battlemages could only rely on their Earth Spells to attack the Rock Monster. They eventually broke through the outer layers of the stones covering the Rock Monster!
The Rock Monster was kited like a beast trapped in a cage, and the battle ended in a few minutes. The Rock Monster fell to the ground, and broke into a pile of rocks.
”The Rock Monster doesn't seem too strong. I bet we could take it out easily too,” Zhou Donghao chuckled after seeing the Rock Monster falling to the ground.
