Even though many Commander-level creatures could easily jump to a height of over fifty meters, meaning that a wall of fifty meters was nowhere near high enough to trap the Commander-level rock demons inside, the spell obviously had other suppressive effects. Within the Rising Ground Cage tiny motes of dust, like some sticky sand particles, were present. When the creatures trapped inside the cage tried to jump out, the sand swiftly clung to the creatures like gum.
The Granite Beasts were able to use Earth Magic too, so they could also set up a similar cage, but their cages did not have the sticky sand. They had no chance of leaving the pen without getting rid of the sand!
“Didn’t you like throwing rocks around? I’ll give you a big one!”
Mo Fan bent forward and stuck his hands into the ground. The surface was made up of sand, dirt, and tiny stones. It did not have a huge boulder that Mo Fan was looking for, but it did not bother him. The Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon could easily harden the rock with its Earth Magic!
When Mo Fan straightened back up, he had lifted a huge boulder from the ground!
The Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon lifted the boulder over its head. The Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon was already enormous, but the boulder was several times bigger than the creature. It was literally carrying a small mountain!

Mo Fan let out a roar and tossed the mountain at the cage!
The huge boulder swept past the sky above the central plaza. The Granite Beasts in the cage noticed the shadow looming over them growing bigger, before it completely shrouded the sky above them.
The whole city shook hard when it land. The Granite Beasts were only born in this world not long ago, yet they were already shedding tears of utter despair!
The force of the boulder swept the dust into the air. To guarantee the safety of the Mages that were trapped inside the Granite Beasts, Mo Fan purposely softened the soil in the cage so the ash cocoons would sink into the soil when the Granite Beasts were smashed into pieces. That way, the boulder would not smash the Mages into pieces, too.

Mo Fan was attentive to the details; he had everything under control!
A huge number of Granite Beasts were killed. These Commanders of the rock demons were as vulnerable as women and children now, unable to put up any resistance on the battlefield, let alone the Rock Monsters and Rock Generals that were only at the Warrior-level. They were like a sheet of loose sand before the Ruler-level creature. Most importantly, despite the overwhelming number of the Rock Monsters and Rock Generals which were impossible to exterminate within a short period of time, the pressure that the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon was putting them under had stopped them from advancing.
The rock demons couldn’t move. They had lost the courage to fight the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon. They had no choice but to submit to it, whether it was going to attack the humans or turn against its own people.
Even the Black-Silver Rock Demons were significantly weaker than the Golden-Armored Wolframite Demon, let alone the Granite Beasts. How could the rest of the rock demons possibly find any courage to face it?
“What now? What are you all doing!?
“Who asked you to stand still? I haven’t had enough yet! F**k me, come, let’s hurt one another!”
Mo Fan had yet to fully enjoy himself when he saw the Rock Monsters and Rock Generals were standing there like lifeless rocks after losing their will to fight.

Why were they afraid when they had such a huge advantage in numbers? Where was their integrity? Was that seriously all they had as rocks? He had only killed a bunch of their superiors. How were they intimidated so easily? Shouldn’t they be revolting against the tyrant that was killing their own people?
“They aren’t that intelligent to begin with, so they will naturally submit to whoever is the strongest among them,” Apas sniffed.
In Apas’ eyes, the Rock Monsters were just a bunch of simple-minded soldiers. They never had a strong grudge against human, they were merely following their instincts to acquire more energy. If the city had not been emitting a strong energy when it was being upgraded to an Elemental Capital, these elemental creatures hiding deep in the caves would not have bothered invading the city.
Mo Fan looked at the Rock Monsters and Rock Generals, and shook his head helplessly. It was meaningless to attack the creatures any further, since he would merely be attacking a bunch of rocks!
“Didn’t you notice something?” Apas pointed out.
“Notice what?” Mo Fan was confused.
“They need energy to maintain their forms. Look at the Rock Generals that stopped attacking,” Apas said.
Mo Fan looked down and fixed his eyes on the Rock Generals Apas was referring to.
The Rock Generals were scattered across the land. They were standing there like soldiers, especially when Mo Fan’s gaze was directed at them.
A moment later, the Rock Generals began to feel uneasy. They were even sweating!
The ‘sweat’ eventually melted the outer layer of the Rock Generals’ body, like someone had just poured a bucket of water over a clay figurine!
The mud increased in volume and flowed off the Rock Generals. In less than a minute, the Rock Generals shrank to half their size and reverted to Rock Monsters around four meters tall, the first form the Mud Morphing Monsters evolved into!
“Atrophying?” Mo Fan guessed curiously.
“Yeah, they will degenerate if they don’t absorb more energy within a certain period, and will no longer be able to maintain their form. In simpler words, if we can stop them from acquiring energy by capturing Mages, they will turn back into the Mud Morphing Monsters after expending all the energy they gained,” Apas said.
“I see, that means…” Mo Fan was just about to say something when he noticed his golden armor turning muddy, too.
“Holy crap!” Mo Fan cursed when he saw the golden armor degenerating and reverting to its previous color.
He was degrading into a Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon!
“They are pretty dumb, so you should order them to transform into the Mud Morphing Monsters and return to their caves while you still have the authority. Otherwise, you will have to absorb other Mages to retain your form!” Apas said.
“So that means they aren’t as terrifying as we thought. We just weren’t familiar with their ability,” Mo Fan muttered.
“If these creatures didn’t have a weakness, they would have conquered the world by now. Why do you think they were hiding in the deepest, darkest caves?” Apas scoffed at him.
