“No way, I will not remove the Seal before the barrier is fully established!” Wen Xia said firmly.

“Don’t be so stubborn. If you don’t get rid of the seal, how are you going to take care of these Rock Monsters? What if everyone in the city is devoured by those monsters?” Mo Fan said.

“Look up,” Wen Xia pointed at the night sky and said, “The moon will reach its peak at midnight, and the same time the barrier is finished. After that, the Barrier will no longer prohibit the Mages in the city from using other Elements. It’s only a few hours from now!”

Mo Fan glanced at the moon hanging in the sky and scratched his head.

A few hours! It might sound easy, but the military and the Magic Association had not expected the Mud Morphing Monsters to sneak into the city. They had placed all their attention on the rampart, which was currently under attack by the Rock Monsters. The city was in a complete mess now. It was impossible for the city to hold on for another few hours!

On top of that, the people in the city were both more concentrated and unorganized. They were easy targets for the Mud Morphing Monsters to increase their experience bars. More Rock Monsters and Rock Generals were going to appear, in addition to the two Black-Silver Rock Demons, not to mention the civilians were already struggling against the Rock Monsters, even though they were the weakest kind!

“If we fail to protect the Barrier Core, there’s no way we can rebuild the city for ten years. The defense of the headquarters cities along the coastline will fall a level without enough stone. If a purple-level disaster occurred, the headquarters cities which we spent so many resources on will cease to exist. The eastern part of our country will be as good as gone,” Wen Xia said.

Mo Fan was startled by her words.

What the heck? Why did she sound like the fate of an elemental capital deep in the mountains was tied to the survival of mankind? Was she exaggerating something?

Wen Xia retained her righteous bearing as a soldier when she saw Mo Fan’s doubtful face. “Perhaps you might think that the odds of a purple-level disaster are extremely low, but that’s no excuse to not care about it. If it does happen, the consequences are unimaginable.”

Mo Fan was left speechless.

It was a moment before Mo Fan finally remembered what he was trying to say. He sounded even less confident, “So there’s no way you will get rid of the Seal before midnight?”

“Exactly!” Wen Xia said firmly.

—

Mo Fan knew he had no chance of convincing Wen Xia after seeing her attitude toward the fate of the world. He had no choice but to wait until midnight, which meant he had to make sure the Barrier Core stayed intact until then.

However, the Mud Morphing Monsters seemed to have picked up the scent of the Barrier Core. They began making their way toward an old structure with a clock tower at the center of the city.

“Please don’t tell me that’s where the Barrier Core is,” Mo Fan sighed.

Wen Xia did not respond to his question, but her reaction had already told Mo Fan the answer.

“Damn it, wait for me!” Mo Fan cursed.
