After the Black-Silver Rock Demon was defeated, the Gravitational Ring surrounding the clock tower regained its brilliance. The Rock Monsters and Rock Generals were struggling even more to break through the defensive perimeter. However, some Granite Beasts were still giving the defenders a huge headache. These beasts, which were resistant to the Gravitational Ring, were still approaching the Barrier Core.

The second Black-Silver Rock Demon took over as the leader of the Rock Monsters after the first Black-Silver Rock Demon had fallen. It kept giving orders to the Rock Monsters.

The Granite Beasts began to damage the defensive barrier recklessly, while the rest of the Rock Monsters and Rock Generals went searching for Mages in the city. They immediately absorbed every Mage they found. Since they were unable to break through the barrier, they would focus on attacking Mages and evolve into Granite Beasts to overcome the suppression from the Gravitational Ring.

Their ultimate goal was to reach the Barrier Core. They had to take advantage of their numbers and the fact that the human army was busy fending off their comrades. They had to break into the clock tower with a rush and claim the Barrier Core!

“These Rock Monsters aren’t completely brainless. The city has an abundant supply of humans for them to help them evolve. If no strong Mages step forward to eliminate the Rock Generals soon, the number of the Granite Beasts will double in less than an hour, and quadruple in two hours. The barrier won’t hold until then,” Mo Fan pointed out.

“The defense must stand at all costs. We have at least bought an extra hour. It’s almost midnight!” Wen Xia was more optimistic.

“You have every right to think that, but I must remind you that the other Black-Silver Rock Demon’s size and strength have surpassed the one we just took out. If you are planning to get rid of it, too, I must ask you to find someone else to lend you a hand. I won’t be risking my children and grandchildren for it again!” Mo Fan swore.

Wen Xia was aware of the problem.

There were two Black-Silver Rock Demons. The one they took out was the smaller of the two. The difference between them was like a youth and an adult. On top of that, the adult Black-Silver Rock Demon seemed more intelligent, considering how it was sending its Rock Monsters and Rock Demons after more Mages instead of trying to break through the barrier.

It would be several times more difficult to eliminate the second Black-Silver Rock Demon!

Wen Xia had been trying to figure out a solution, but the Black-Silver Rock Demon was too cunning. It only focused on ordering the Granite Beasts around instead of involving itself in the battle. It even asked its lackeys to feed the higher-level Mages to it so it could grow stronger!

The Granite Beasts would stay and guard their leader whenever it was feasting. The same plan was obviously not going to work, even if Mo Fan was willing to be the bait!

“A rock that can fight is less scary than a rock that can think. You will have to make a decision. Either you remove the Seal so everyone can join hands to defeat it and save the people that are absorbed by it and protect the city, or summon the army at the rampart back to the city center and try your best to defend the Barrier Core. But there’s a problem if you choose the second approach, as more Mud Morphing Monsters and Rock Monsters are going to invade the city. Even if the Barrier Core is successfully established, the people in the city will be replaced with rocks, so it’s meaningless to even set up an Elemental Capital!” Mo Fan pointed out.

“We won’t abandon the people unless it’s the last resort!” Wen Xia said firmly.

It was obviously going to be a tough battle, especially since they were not familiar with what they were going up against in the first place. However, almost every Elemental Capital was bathed in blood when it was first established. How could they possibly enjoy a peace that might last for a few dozen years if they did not secure the victory here? The soldiers that were stationed in the city were already prepared for the worst outcome!

“This city might only be a random city you’re visiting as a traveler, so its fate has nothing to do with you once you turn around and leave. Even if it turns into an Elemental Capital or is overrun by demon creatures, you will only lament it briefly when you see the news. But to us, it’s more important than our lives! All the troops inland were allocated to the coastline, so we only have half our men here defending the city. Even so, we still want to do this. If the coastline falls one day and the Headquarters Cities are drowned, this city on the mountain can still provide shelter to the people. The Barrier Core will ensure they can sleep peacefully, and the soldiers who only want their families to have a safe place to stay will fight bravely for their sake…” Wen Xia knew what Mo Fan was thinking.

It was necessary to put up with grim situations; she still had a great cause to fight for!

She would not bother thinking about the last resort until the final moment. They needed the Elemental Capital desperately. They already knew the prices they might have to pay just to ensure it was built.

“Fine, I’d make the same call too, if I were you…” Mo Fan understood where Wen Xia was coming from after seeing her firm attitude, “We’ll wait for an hour and make the call if we can make it through. Just say it if you need any help.”

“Mm!” Wen Xia nodded.

She could recover some of her energy in the meantime. She had consumed a huge amount of her energy, since she could only use the Earth Element. The Mages defending the Barrier Core were facing the same problem, and there were still three hours until midnight!

They had just eliminated a Black-Silver Rock Demon, so the Barrier Core would still be safe for another hour.

However, as the number of Granite Beasts continued to increase, since the Mud Morphing Monsters were still attacking the Mages, the situation would get more dangerous the closer it was to midnight. Mo Fan could not say for sure how dangerous it was going to be. It was his first time facing such a unique species that could increase in numbers and evolve by absorbing their enemies!

“You’re a Super Mage too, aren’t you?” Wen Xia asked him, sitting on a pile of debris.

“I only became one recently.” Mo Fan found a can of Sprite among the debris. He opened it and saw it was still fizzy. He took a mouthful… in spite of it all, it was still cool and refreshing!

“Then I guess you aren’t just a nobody. What’s your real name? Your identity in the system is obviously just a disguise. It’s pretty common for the high rankers among us to have a second identity,” Wen Xia said.

“Mo Fan,” Mo Fan said.

“The Mo Fan who won the World College Tournament!?” Wen Xia exclaimed. She immediately looked Mo Fan up and down again.

“That’s me!” Mo Fan took off the glasses that gave him a nerdy look and smiled.

“No wonder it took me such a great effort to Seal your magic. You have so many Elements…” Wen Xia murmured.
