ALL NOVEL Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Torrential Rain
Drip, drip.
Lu Jun stood on the top of the towering Silver Trade Building. Suddenly, he paused, reaching out with his hand. A cold sensation spread as droplets gathered on his palm. The rooftop wind grew fiercer, and the night sky was covered with dense clouds, dim and lightless.
"It's going to rain," he murmured to himself. Without a doubt, this was the work of Wu Ku. A Super Mage, combined with a half-water disaster bringer, could summon great powers to manipulate the weather of an entire region.
In the future, it could become even more terrifying, capable of altering the climate of an entire country, creating even greater disasters.
Hua la la!
Soon, raindrops began to fall, growing heavier. The environment became saturated with moisture, and water elements thickened. The only strange thing was that the rain was unusually murky, carrying a peculiar smell.
Lu Jun stared at the water in his palm. It was none other than the Frenzy Spring.
By this time, the operation in Bo City had concluded. Rolling smoke descended in all directions, and all the tunnels had been destroyed in less than half an hour. Oddly, there had been no attacks from the Black Vatican during this period.
As Yang Zuohé was about to speak, he abruptly turned his gaze toward the edge of Bo City. Three beams of white light shot into the sky, illuminating a vast area.
He stood there dazed. As the person in charge of the Bo City Magic Association, his face showed an expression of terror as he trembled and said, "Three beams of light, a demon invasion, blood-colored warning, a city massacre."
In an instant, Yang Zuohé urgently picked up his communicator and issued a command: "Attention all mages in the city, blood warning issued. Quickly organize grassroots into family units and retreat into the safe zones."
Fortunately, it was a rest day, and everyone was staying home quietly. With the earlier warnings, there was no chaos, and evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner.
On the rooftop of the Silver Trade Building, Yang Zuohé let out a sigh of relief and said to Lu Jun with gratitude, "Luckily, you warned me in advance and sealed off the sewers leading out of the city. Otherwise, the internal and external threats would have overwhelmed Bo City, and who knows how many people would have died."
Lu Jun frowned, gazing toward the edge of Bo City, uncertain of the situation there and whether they could hold out.
In the original storyline, due to internal sabotage, the powerful individuals from the noble families, including the Demon Hunting Alliance's Deng Kai, the Magic Association's Yang Zuohé, and others, were busy clearing thousands of demons inside the city while rescuing people, leaving everything in chaos.
Outside the city, the demon hordes were left to the military to handle, but they ultimately had to abandon the defensive line.
Yang Zuohé continued communicating information, issuing instructions. In an instant, a majestic golden barrier rose over the city, resembling an overturned golden bowl, covering most of the area.
Moments later, Yang Zuohé spoke gravely to Captain Liang: "Bad news. I just received a report that the leader of the One-Eyed Wolf Clan has appeared—a Commander-level Winged Sky Wolf with over a hundred Warrior-level wolves. We're short on manpower."
"I'm planning to provide support. Here..."
Captain Liang understood and solemnly replied, "Don't worry. I will protect the Holy Spring. Besides, we have two powerful individuals here: Hunter Lu Mei and Enforcer Tang Yue. Both are as strong as you, if not stronger."
"Mm." Yang Zuohé nodded, sighing, "What worries me most is the hidden threat of the Black Vatican. However, resisting the demon invasion takes precedence. When the time comes, wake Mo Fan and have him lead a few Intermediate Mages and two students to escort the Holy Spring into the safe zone."
He glanced at Lu Jun and signaled to Captain Liang, expressing his confidence. He believed there should be no problem, given Tang Yue and Lu Mei's strength. Both were top-tier Intermediate Mages and far surpassed him.
Yang Zuohé's body glowed with green light as a gust of wind howled around him. Using the Wind Element's Primary Spell, Wind Track, he transformed into a shadow, leaping between tall buildings and disappearing from Lu Jun's sight in an instant.
Meanwhile, the heads of the noble families in the Mu Clan Manor, along with Bo City's key figures like Zhan Kong, Deng Kai, Principal Zhu, and others, frowned upon hearing Yang Zuohé's broadcast. They couldn't figure out his intentions until the blood warning shocked them into action.
"Quickly! Everyone, head to the Snow Mountain Outpost and resist the demon hordes!"
Mu Zhuoyun shouted urgently. The others reacted swiftly, gathering mages without delay and heading toward the city's edge to provide support.
Zhan Kong, decisive as always, unleashed the Advanced Wind Element Spell, Wind Wings, and was the first to rush over.
Bo City's high command had all gathered at the edge of the city, with Yang Zuohé being the last to arrive. When he reached the outpost, he was stunned by the scene before him, his soul and body trembling.
Awuuuuuu...
From behind the mountains came waves of terrifying roars, reverberating like thunderclaps that shook the mountain ridges. The tremors spread to the outpost, causing the massive stone barriers to quiver slightly.
Through the misty rain, a blurry figure leaped into the air, landing atop the highest pine tree in the distance.
The creature had the body of a wolf but stood half-upright. Its grotesque head bore three glowing red eyes filled with ferocity.
Three-Eyed Demon Wolves, Bone Thorn Wild Wolves, and other Warrior-level wolf demons appeared, each massive in size. A rough count revealed over a hundred of them. Considering a single Warrior-level could handle seven or eight Intermediate Mages, Bo City would need at least several hundred Intermediate Mages to fend them off.
Additionally, endless waves of Servant-level wolf demons surged over the mountains. Their crimson, bloodthirsty eyes dotted the rain-soaked horizon like stars, sending chills down spines and making one's scalp tingle.
From above, the "blue-black" tide of demons stretched across the landscape, engulfing mountain after mountain and covering the ground inch by inch. More than a dozen small hills were packed with black masses.
Thousands of Servant-level demons—an overwhelming force.
And that wasn't all. As the wolves howled in unison, a colossal figure soared through the gray skies. Its body was silver-white, with wings spanning 30 meters that obscured the heavens. It exuded a heavy pressure that swept over the area.
The Commander-level Winged Sky Wolf!
The demon landed elegantly in the center of the wolf pack, like a king surrounded by its guards. Its arrogance was unmatched. In an instant, the howling ceased, and the rain became the only sound in the oppressive silence. A palpable sense of dread filled the air.
At the edge of the outpost, over a thousand military mages stood in formation at the forefront, with two to three thousand demon hunters and rogue mages behind them.
The military mages remained composed and steadfast, while the others panicked, unable to hide their fear. Facing a Commander-level demon, no one in Bo City could stand against it, let alone bring order to the chaos.
At the forefront stood Zhan Kong, his face resolute, a dark green military coat billowing in the wind.
To his left and right, rows of military mages stood tall in cyan windbreakers, their garments fluttering as they stood like statues, exuding a natural authority.
Zhan Kong's voice was loud and firm: "Don't be afraid. It's just a minor Commander. I killed one a few years ago. This one is merely delivering itself to me."
"I'll handle the Commander-level. The rest of you hold the line. I've already requested reinforcements from nearby cities. They'll arrive soon."
He sternly added, "Remember, behind us are our families and loved ones. There's no retreat!"
