A man riding a red-horned horse approached along the submerged road of the town.

He happened to pass by Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Wei Rong, and came to a stop with a frown.

“Wei Rong, why are you and your students still here? Hurry up and seek shelter! I’ll lure the Ruler-level sea monster away!” the man shouted impatiently.

Wei Rong pointed at a pool of dark blue goo and replied, “Elder Yao Xin, the sea monster is dead. That was its body.”

“It’s dead?” the elder of the Hunter Union asked suspiciously. He did not believe Wei Rong’s words.

“Elder, many teachers of our school were killed by the sea monster, but we still did our best to buy the people time to evacuate to safety. Why did it take so long for the Hunters to come here?” Wei Rong asked, ignoring his tone.

Wei Rong’s words somehow poked a sore spot on Elder Yao Xin. He frowned as he demanded grimly, “Are you blaming me for your teachers’ deaths because I’m late?”

Wei Rong did not reply.

The Hunter Union was supposed to step forward and drive back the Ruler-level sea monster, but it was the teachers of the Pearl Institute who had sacrificed themselves. Not one of them had survived in the end!

Many of the teachers had been Wei Rong’s colleagues for a long time. How could Wei Rong not feel angry or hold a grudge against the Hunter Union? However, he did not have the confidence to rebuke an elder of the Hunter Union.

After all, he was only an Advanced Mage!

“If the sea monster has left, I have other business to attend to. I shall excuse myself!” Yao Xin harrumphed coldly.

Wei Rong did not dare rebuke him, and could only watch the Super Mage leave on his horse. He could not help but wonder why the elder of the Hunter Union was heading back toward the Magic City instead of the coasts.

“What an assh***! He was acting so full of himself when he was too scared to fight the sea monster by himself,” Zhao Manyan cursed before spitting on the ground.

“Forget it. There are always people who are scared of dying when disasters happen. However, it’s truly disgusting that an elder of the Hunter Union is one of them, too!” Wei Rong sighed and shook his head.

Wei Rong had immediately notified the Hunter Union after he saw the Red Eyed Ruler. The Hunter Union had told him they would send one of their elders to help them.

However, the teachers of the Pearl Institute were forced to fight the creature because the help they were waiting for had never arrived. They were planning to buy some time at first until backup arrived, but the elder of the Hunter Union was still nowhere to be seen even after all the teachers had been killed.

If Mo Fan had not shown up in time, the Red-Eyed Ruler would have long advanced into the town and grown its red waves further!

The worst thing was, the man did not even believe the Red-Eyed Ruler was dead!

“Mo Fan, many sea monsters have snuck in using the Huangpu River. Our school is carrying a huge burden, but at this rate, not many teachers and students are going to survive in the end…” Wei Rong blurted out. He could not control his tears.

How was life so vulnerable? His colleagues he had set out with not long ago had all been slaughtered by a single Ruler-level sea monster! The sea monsters were so formidable that Mages like them who had worked so diligently to improve their cultivation, were feeling helpless and afraid!

“Mr. Wei, I don’t have much to tell you, but Zhao Manyan and I are both graduates of the Pearl Institute. Without its support and protection when we were young and naïve, we wouldn’t be here today. I won’t let a single one of these sea monsters escape!” Mo Fan swore.
