Versatile Mage

The Mage in the silver outfit initially had his attention on the surface of the water, yet he noticed a dozen steel cables lashing at the crowd like demonic whips. His dark gray eyes immediately emitted a sharp flicker of light as he used his powerful Will to stop the steel cables!

The steel cables froze in the air. One of them was within inches of a group of people’s heads. The people could feel its force, but the steel cable did not land on them. Blood did not splatter across the place, even though many of their hearts had almost stopped beating!

“Great Advisor!”

A few Mages with Magic Wing Equipment and Wind Wings flew to the cable tower. They let out a relieved sigh when they saw the Mage in a silver outfit controlling the steel cables. They immediately gave him a lot of respect.

“Evacuate the bridge, I’ll deal with the sea monster in the water!” the Great Advisor uttered coldly.

“Yes!”

The Mages flew back to the bridge and immediately located the most congested spots. They used the Earth Element to move the entire crowd at one time.

“Pick up the pace!”

“Yes!”

There were cries and screams, but many people had already lost the ability to follow their instincts. People screamed for help when they were in danger or their lives were being threatened, but the scene was just too much of a shock for them. They had no clue how they were supposed to react to it, which made the evacuation even trickier!

The Great Advisor on the cable tower glanced down at the bridge full of helpless civilians. He felt like his heart was being torn apart, yet he still had to slowly lower the broken cables.

The steel cables fell into the sea. Loud noises were still coming from the unusual movement under the water, as if thousands of sea monsters were roaring furiously.

With another deafening blast, a dark creature sprang up from the water amid the wild splashing. The Great Advisor had expected the creature to jump into the sky, yet little did he know, the creature did not even have to leave the water, it only had to expose itself. The depth of the strait was like shallow water to it!

It simply straightened its body… and it easily reached the highest point of the bridge and the cable tower!

It remained upright while charging at the bridge. It was like a moving mountain on the water. Its length of seven hundred meters made the bridge look like a toy model.

The Great Advisor stood there on the cable tower. He could only stare blankly at the enormous sea monster.

He was struggling to see the creature’s appearance clearly in the thick mist, but he had spotted hair follicles, meat lumps, and fleshy tumors around its head and neck. He could even see disgusting parasites crawling all over its body. They were falling in lumps as the creature moved around wildly. They were curled up like leeches, yet each of them was over half a meter long!

Demon… leeches!

Liu Xi was still at the bridgehead and felt like his head was being torn in half by a lightning strike!

The monster was terrifyingly large. It rammed into the cable tower and crushed the bridge with its body. Its rough, greasy skin was covered by countless parasites, the same demon leeches that he had seen at the shopping lot!

Countless demon leeches fell from the enormous creature in clumps when the bridge collapsed. It was like a scene from a nightmare.

The cable tower snapped as the bridge was crushed into pieces. The Mage in the silver outfit established a Space Domain to protect the bridge. A silver barrier encapsulated the bridge in an arc, yet the creature’s might was simply too overwhelming. The silver barrier was shattered into pieces, and the bridge began to collapse and fall into the water!

Many Mages were flying in the air, yet there could only hover there impotently. There was nothing they could do against the enormous creature, nor could they stop the bridge from collapsing, or the creature from fleeing!

The thick mist still lingered in the air. Most people were unable to see what exactly had happened to the bridge. They only heard a loud collision before the ground began to shake like an earthquake. Even the sturdy transit station had cracks all over the place.

Cries of agony came after the loud collision, followed by great fear spreading like a plague. The people who were on the Haicang Route trembled in the pouring rain.

“What…what exactly… was that?” Liu Xi had a blank face. Concrete and reinforced steel were falling from the remains of the bridge, but the enormous creature had already vanished without a trace.

What was that?

It had simply shown up to crush the bridge that was supposed to lead the people to safety, trapping the humans in the city that was eventually going to be submerged by the seawater!

Zhongxin Primary School…

The rain had grown stronger. The clouds were becoming restless, and the strong wind had even blown the roofs of some buildings into the air, together with the people who were taking shelter on them if they were not holding onto something tightly!

Raincoats were no longer effective, and everyone was soaked by now. Mo Fan had to use Space Rhythm to keep the students of Zhongxin Primary School firmly on the ground and ensure the future hope of his motherland was not swept away by the fierce wind.

“Great, that was the last class,” Shen Qing wiped away the rainwater from her forehead. Her wet hair was blocking her vision.

“Mm, rescue operations aren’t easy after all,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan and Shen Qing brought the school kids to the Haicang Route and escorted them for a few hundred meters.

Meanwhile, Lingling was riding the Flying Creek Snow Wolf as he was jumping between the roofs of the tall buildings. She was busy collecting information. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was able to run up and down the buildings easily.

“The path ahead is blocked.” Lingling jumped down from the back of the wolf.

The strange thing was that normal adults would be overwhelmed by fear when they saw the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. After all, the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was just as menacing as a demon creature. The adults could easily sense how unusual the creature was from its murderous aura, but the primary school kids were not afraid in the slightest. They immediately went up to the creature to touch the Flying Creek Snow Wolf’s fur, like they had just seen an enormous white dog.

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf ran out of space to move when he was surrounded by the little kids. He was afraid that he might step on them by accident!

“An unknown creature has destroyed the Haicang Bridge!” Lingling informed Mo Fan and Shen Qing.
