“It’s an order to gather the Super Mages… Brother Fan, a Ruler-level creature must have shown up,” Zhang Xiaohou told Mo Fan.

Mo Fan nodded. Super Mages were very important to a city. It was rare to gather all the Super Mages available in one place, unless some powerful sea monsters had shown up.

“It is at the Jimei Route I was in charge of previously. It’s in the direction of Jimei Bridge…” Zhang Xiaohou went on.

“Jimei Bridge… Lingling told me that the Haicang Bridge collapsed after a mysterious creature rammed into it. They aren’t able to use that route anymore. It turns out that the sea monsters are trying to stop us from evacuating the city. They are planning to destroy every bridge!” Mo Fan spat.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded. He concentrated and Summoned the Feathers of the Wind Spirits to speed them up.

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were traveling through the sky. Stormy clouds over ten kilometers high were right above them, like they were continuously compressing the space between the clouds and the surface of the sea.

Meanwhile, the sea level continued to rise from the rain and the tide Summoned in by the sea monsters. The dark sky and the gray sea kept applying a suffocating pressure to the city!

A huge wave suddenly splashed into the dim sky ahead. The wave was an eerie black. It was more like some thick mud instead of normal seawater.

The wave immediately startled Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou. It was simply too huge. A Commander-level creature would never be able to stir such a huge wave, something that almost reached the top of a skyscraper. It must be an extremely powerful creature!

After the wave fell onto the city, the buildings, streets, and the land over a kilometer away were all submerged. Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou stared at the wave. They suddenly felt minuscule and helpless.

The wave was like a veil across the sky, not something they could handle. Their minds were overwhelmed by fear even when they were still three kilometers away.

“Brother Fan…” Zhang Xiaohou remained still in the sky. He had lost the courage to keep going.

They were simply asking for their deaths if they kept flying forward!

“It’s no ordinary Ruler-level creature. It’s most likely a Great Ruler-level creature!” Mo Fan had to take a deep breath too.

The sea monsters were generally stronger than land creatures. That meant that Mo Fan would have no chance of defeating a Lesser Ruler-level sea creature with all his might, not to mention his strength was greatly affected when fighting around water.

It would be even worse if it was a Greater Ruler-level creature. Its formidable strength could easily murder rookies at the Super Level like them. The destructive wave before them had said it all!

Zhang Xiaohou was in a panic. He did not dare to go any closer, yet he could not afford to just stand there and watch the wave fall.

A sacred silver light flickered between the sky and the sea. A mysterious force spread across the area right before the destructive wave collided with the city, and forcibly held the enormous wave in place!

Mo Fan asked Zhang Xiaohou to climb higher so he could get a clearer view of the battle. It was happening over the waters close to Jimei Bridge.

Countless huge waterspouts were churning close to the bridge, looking like magnificent pillars supporting the sky. A huge figure the size of a mountain was weaving in between the pillars. It had yet to reveal its true appearance, yet even the tip of the iceberg was suffocating and astonishing to the people.

The wave was created by the sea monster’s swipe as it was targeting the bridge. However, the humans were prepared this time. They did not let the creature get any closer to Jimei Bridge. They intercepted it in the water around three kilometers away!

There were a lot of tiny dots scattered randomly in the air and on the sea between Jimei Bridge and the beast. They were all Advanced and Super Mages. They were in positions, even though they were not necessarily in a Formation.

There was only one beast, but every Mage in the Advanced Level and above in Xiamen had gathered here!

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou arrived after receiving the order to do so. They too were Super Mages, yet they were only two of the tiny dots under the circumstances.

Three powerful Mages were taking on the sea monster at the strait. One of them was wearing a silver robe, the same person who had stopped the powerful wave with his outstanding Telekinesis. His Space Element was surprisingly impressive. The huge wave simply froze in the air and did not advance any further.

Even the tiniest ripple from the enormous wave was exceedingly strong. Mo Fan believed his Space Element could only stop a tiny ripple of the wave, but there were more than a hundred surges of the thing falling from the sky. His Telekinesis could only stop a hundredth of the wave!

His Space Element might have yet to reach the Super Level, yet he did not expect it to be so inferior when compared to the force of the wave!

“Freeze, freeze it, quick!” an old Mage used his Sound Element to command the Mages who were participating in the battle.

There were around thirty Ice Mages at the Advanced Level or above. They quickly spread their magic across the sky above the city.

The wave that had come to a halt because of the Space Mage started falling down a little. However, the huge wave was soon turned into ice after the Ice Mages Cast their spells!

“It’s impossible to overcome its force, but if it’s frozen, it won’t cause any serious damage to the city and the bridge,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“Mm, but… so many people, so many powerful Mages, against just a single sea monster!” Mo Fan said with a wry smile.

Mo Fan thought a few Ruler-level creatures had shown up after they received the order. To his surprise, there was only one sea monster. A single sea monster was already so powerful! Every Mage was as tiny as an ant before it. Neither Zhang Xiaohou nor him could survive for more than half a minute against it!

“It must be the culprit that destroyed the Haicang Bridge,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“Mm, I already saw some clumps of demon leeches falling off its body like dead skin cells,” Mo Fan agreed, staring at the beast in the strait.
