Chapter 2864: The Experts Gathered at the Magic City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In Jing An, Feng Li leaped down from a higher ground. He turned to his assistant and gave his order, “All Elders, Judges, and Deputy Judges of the Enforcement Union, gather now and follow me. We’re going to fight at the Bund!”

“But there are still many Ocean Demons within the city…,” the assistant said hesitantly.

The Enforcement Union was under the Magic Association. They were, however, independent of the Magic Association’s authority. They followed the orders of the head of the Enforcement Union and no one else.

“The Ocean Demons have grouped together. We must unite to kill them and the Demon Lord. It’s only by doing so can we ensure the Magic City’s survival. The Demon Lord is the primary perpetrator that instructs the Ocean Demon army to rampage through the city,” said Feng Li.

“Mr. Feng is right. We’re gathering intermediate and higher-level Mages. Isn’t that sufficient to take on the Ocean Demons? Elders, Judges, and Deputy Judges, leave this place to us!” said Nighthawk.

!!

Nighthawk was an experienced member of the Enforcement Union. He hated himself for not having achieved Super-level even today. Otherwise, he could have followed the Magic Association’s highest order and fought the Ocean Demons with them.

The Super-level Mages left for the battle, but they still had remaining Advanced and Intermediate-level Mages with them in the city.

The experts stopped the sky holes. They gave their all in fighting the Ocean Demons. The experts were mainly composed of the Advanced-level, Intermediate-level, and Basic-level Mages. Couldn’t they unite and kill the roaming Ocean Demons?

The battle was not solely the responsibility of the Super-level Union and Forbidden Curse Association. Every mage had a duty in the battle.

“There’s still hope for us.”

…

Inside the Lu family’s secret place at the back of Kun mountain, the head of the Lu family paced back and forth before the stone entrance. He wanted to turn a blind eye to the gleaming blue electric flag in the sky, but he felt restless.

He returned to the secret place. He frowned and said to the crowd, “How many Super-level Mages do we have in the horde?”

“Only ten. Judging from the current situation, we will have difficulty in taking on an Ocean Demon of Ruler-level and above.”

“Sheng Ming, you stay here. The rest of you will accompany me to the Bund,” the head of the Lu family said solemnly.

“Grandpa…” Lu Qingyao ran to him. He did not understand why his grandfather had made such a decision.

“If the Magic City falls, we’ll end up dying in Kun Mountain, too,” said the head of the Lu family.

“But they will take us to Ding City soon,” said Lu Qingyao.

“You can leave, but I can’t. I don’t want our future generations to bear the humiliation and burden of our failures. I don’t want to lose our dignity. We are a dignified family!” said the head of the Lu family.

“If you’re not leaving, then we aren’t leaving either. I don’t want to go to Ding City. Those who want to go to that city, please do so.”

“You’re right. I won’t go there either. The Scarlet Demons occupied our home, destroyed our market, and devoured our people. We want revenge!”

For a moment, the head of the Lu family was lost for words as he stared at the crowd.

They would either stay or leave, but together. He had been protecting his family over the years. He did not expect them to have this resolve in times of trouble. He could not help but feel proud and hopeful. It was worth sacrificing himself for the sake of his people.

“Okay! You’ll kill the Scarlet Demon, and I’ll kill the Demon King!”

…

The streets at Changning were in a state of severe disrepair. A hunchbacked old lady walked down the street. Her eyes looked tired. Several starving Hunter Dirty Demons followed her. They bared their fangs.

The old woman looked up and saw the purple flag. Finally, there flickered some form of life in her sunken eyes.

A baby’s cry echoed from a nearby building.

When the Hunter Dirty Demons heard the cry, they quickly charged towards the building. They licked their lips in anticipation.

The old woman raised her hand, and the speeding Hunter Dirty Demons came to a halt. They stared at the old woman in horror.

The old woman passed by the Hunter Dirty Demons and found the crying baby girl.

“Little one, even your parents can’t protect you. Who else do you expect to grant you a chance to survive?” The old woman said to the wailing baby.

The old woman found a Battlemage and handed the baby to him.

“If I survive the war, you’ll be my granddaughter. I’ll show you how to play music, chess, read, and paint. But I’m not going to teach you how to use magic,” said the old woman to the baby. She gave her a wrinkly smile.

She then vanished into thin air. The next moment, a faintly visible light appeared on the streets and swiftly crossed the ruined city before approaching the Bund. The light drew close to the purple flag.

It was the Forbidden Curse rally!

…

At Lingyin Mountain in Hang Zhou, a middle-aged man in a monk’s robe walked out of the bamboo forest. He summoned a flock of bamboo birds with colorful feathers. The bamboo birds swarmed to form a flying carpet and allowed the Lingyin Monk to step on them and flew toward the Huangpu River.

…

At the Bund, countless lights gathered, like stars in the night sky.

The Magic City was lifeless. It was unlikely that there would be any magical armed forces. However, following the shimmering rally flags, an increasing number of people advanced towards the city.

The first person to arrive at the Bund was none other than the teacher of the National Institute, Feng Li.

A group of Elders, Judges, and Deputy Judges from the Enforcement Union followed behind Feng Li. These people had achieved a Super-level cultivation base.

The White family from the Magic City followed next. The family were experts. They were stained with blood. They had just witnessed and fought a battle before this. Still, they heeded the rally order and arrived at the Bund.

Soon, the Super-level Mages from all over the Magic City arrived at the destination.

The Superordinate Mages from the Magic Association, the Eastern Mages, the South Wing Mage Group, the North Wing Mage Group, the Enforcement Union, the renowned White family, the Mu family, the Lu family, the Dongfang family, the Zhao family, the Battlemages, the Hunter Union, professors from academic institutions, association members and experts, as well as experts who were not a part of any organizations, all arrived one after the other. For a moment, the magical light in the Bund dazzled so brightly that they looked like shimmering stars in the sky.

Under the purple Forbidden Curse rally order, aside from the Forbidden Mages from the Forbidden Curse Association, several new faces also arrived.

These people lived near the Magic City, but no one knew they were actually Forbidden Mages.

The Lingyin Monk and the old woman radiated imposing auras that were comparable to that of the leaders of the Forbidden Curse Association.

The sacred totem Azure Dragon was the head of the totem beasts. And the five great totem beasts gathered around it.

All the experts with a cultivation base of Super-level and above came together in the Magic City.

At that moment, everyone was on fire with a willingness and enthusiasm to fight off the Ocean Demons to make the world a better place.

“This is our showdown with the Ocean Demons. This war will decide the survival of the Magic City today!” President Hong Wu, from the Magic Association, shouted.

Mo Fan was standing between the horns of the sacred totem Azure Dragon. He pointed at the Cold Moon Demon Lord.

The Azure Dragon roared. Its roars shook the Ocean Demons and suppressed their demonic auras.

The Ruler-level Ocean Demons were intimidated by the Azure Dragon. They trembled in fear.

The Black Totem Snake, the Black Totem Turtle, the Green East Sea God, the Heavenly Scar Sacred Tiger, and the Moon Moth Phoenix heeded Mo Fan’s orders.

“Fight to our last drop of blood!” Mo Fan shouted.

For a moment, the totem beasts’ holy light illuminated everything around them very brightly. The Black Totem Snake and the Black Totem Turtle took the lead and charged at the Ocean Demons on the other side of the river. Their auras suppressed the Emperor-level Ocean Demons. They were fearless!
