Chapter 2507 - Mo Fan, You are our Only Hope (2/2)
“I want you to kill the Sea Skeleton King,” Shao Zheng said.
Mo Fan was lost for words.
The Sea Skeleton King was forced to flee for its life under pressure from the Super Mages after that gigantic claw took out the three Top Seaters.
However, no one dared to mention a word about going after the Sea Skeleton King again.
“According to our intel, the Sea Skeleton King is treating its injuries on an island in the East China Sea. It has sustained serious injuries. It won’t recover in a short time. Our plan to kill it in the Magic City has failed. Not only did we lose three Top Seaters, we let the Sea Skeleton King escape too…” Shao Zheng went on.
“Councilman, I was there when it happened, but I wasn’t involved,” Mo Fan told him.
“Oh, did you get to see the creature behind the Sea Skeleton King?” Shao Zheng asked hm quickly.
“No, everything happened too quickly,” Mo Fan said regretfully.
“You don’t have to worry about the creature behind it. I’ll be frank with you since you were at the scene. The Super Mages no longer have the courage to go after the Sea Skeleton King after the recent events. The Sea Skeleton King is currently at its weakest state. If we don’t take it out now, it will return and pose a threat to the Magic City again. I’m afraid no one will dare to face it by then,” Shao Zheng said.
Shao Zheng was also helpless. He knew the Sea Skeleton King was seriously injured, but he could not afford to go after it. Everyone knew there was an Emperor behind the Sea Skeleton King. It had taken out three Top Seaters with a single swipe of its claw.
Who would dare to chase after the Sea Skeleton King after learning about the tragic death of the half-Forbidden Mages?
In addition, the generals and High Seaters had suffered great casualties during the operation. Even if they left the Emperor aside, Shao Zheng had trouble finding someone who was capable of killing the Sea Skeleton King.
“It should only have ten or twenty percent of its strength left. It’s our best shot,” Shao Zheng told him.
“Ten to twenty percent…” Mo Fan fell into deep thought.
He had a feeling he was no match against the Sea Skeleton King even if it only had a fraction of its strength left. Not only had they sent out three Top Seaters to take out the Sea Skeleton King, they had also sent out a lot of Super Mages!
“Mo Fan, the battle close to the Magic City wasn’t our only defeat, but the people know what happened there. We can cover up the truth about the situation in other places to prevent the people from losing hope, but we lost horribly in the battle close to the Magic City. We must do something and make the enemy pay… You are the only person I can think of,” Shao Zheng’s tone changed.
Mo Fan was touched by his words.
The fact that the Chairman of the Magic Association had uttered these words meant the situation was far worse than the people knew.
The people could feel desperate and hopeless, but a leader like him could never show emotions like that!
“Chairman, you don’t have to say anything further. I understand,” Mo Fan said.
No one dared to go after the seriously injured Sea Skeleton King even though they knew its location. There was only one reason: they were afraid of the Emperor behind it!
They had no way of telling whether the Emperor was still with the Sea Skeleton King.
If it was, no matter how many people they sent after the Sea Skeleton King, none of them would come back alive.
Although there were fearless people in the army, the leaders could not afford to lose any more of their powerful Mages again after the recent events.
Mo Fan was their only option, because of his outstanding Demon Element!
Even if it was a trap, Mo Fan could protect himself with the Demon Element. He would not die so easily without learning more information about the Emperor!
