“Is the army planning to kill it?” Mo Fan asked his lifelong buddy.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded, “Yes! I want to take part in it, but the army has already finalized the list of people taking part in the operation. The military has to preserve its strength in case of an emergency, so I have to be on standby here.”

“The personnel on standby are a part of the operation too. An operation doesn’t include just those taking part in it; it also needs others to stand guard. Otherwise, if the operation fails, the whole city will be exposed to the sea monsters!” Jiang Shaoxu had a military background. She was familiar with the planning of military operations.

People like Zhang Xiaohou who were on standby were not included in the operation because they had other obligations to fulfill!

The military had considered everything. A city with a population of over ten million people was behind them. They could not afford to stake everything on one throw of the dice!

Roars echoed across the sky like heavenly drums. The Sea Skeleton King was on the move.

It seemed to be familiar with the humans’ defenses, but it simply ignored them.

It reached the waters that were glowing golden. The clouds in the sky suddenly turned golden, too.

Shocking cracks spread from the clouds, followed by a sacred sword diving down from them. Its light spread several kilometers away, like the space was cracking apart.

Heaven-Rupturing Sword!

It was the third-tier Super Spell of the Light Element. It was rumored that it could take out Ruler-level creatures with a single blow.

Mo Fan immediately looked around. He wanted to know which Super Mage was Casting the spell.

He soon discovered a group of Mages emanating the same golden light. They were dressed in golden robes bearing the badges of the Dongfang Oriental Tower. They were obviously the leaders of the Magic City!

It was a whole group of them, instead of just one!

Their golden robes were glowing brightly. It was Mo Fan’s first time seeing the powerful Mages of the Oriental Pearl Tower working together. They were like a golden symbol of the Magic City!

The Sea Skeleton King had obviously anticipated the attack. Its body drifted backward, together with the falling tide.

However, the Heaven-Rupturing Sword had locked on to its target. It tilted slightly and pointed directly at the Sea Skeleton King.

The level of the spell was extremely close to the limit of human Mages. The people watching were relieved as the light of the sword fell down upon them. Humanity had the power to fight for their survival!

The Sea Skeleton King did not dodge the sword. The scorching light spread across its body, reaching from its head to its legs. It bellowed in pain.

The roar had awakened its power too. The water around it quickly gathered to repair its body as it was breaking apart.

The water was its life!

The shallow sea had almost been dried up by the Light Magic. The submerged Pudong District had almost reclaimed its initial appearance, but the Sea Skeleton King had still drawn water from the sea to repair its broken body.

“Seal off the water!” the aged commander yelled.

A group of Mages in golden-blue robes moved forward. They were scattered across the sea instead of being in a Formation. Every one of them was using their magic to control the water that was flowing into the Sea Skeleton King.

The Mages were obviously testing the Sea Skeleton King’s ability to repair itself with the seawater. They did not want to give the Sea Skeleton King a chance to recover!

“It’s up to the Water Mages as to whether we can kill the Sea Skeleton King or not,” Zhang Xiaohou told him.

“So many Super Mages!…” Mo Fan exclaimed.

Mo Fan had met many Super Mages, because he was now a Super Mage himself. The incidents he was involved in and the places he had visited had many Super Mages.

However, he had not met many Super Mages before he reached the Super Level. They were all boss-level Mages who rarely showed themselves.

It was even rarer to see the Super Mages in groups. Something like that would only happen when their homes were in danger.

It was exciting to see so many powerful Mages joining hands to take on the enemy!

People were working together to fend off a powerful enemy. It was the greatest rule of survival for mankind!

“Advanced Platoons!”

The commander waved a flag in the air. It lit up the surroundings like a scorching flame.

Platoons numbering hundreds of people each gathered together quickly. Mo Fan did not notice them until he saw the Star Constellations flaring up across the place!

They were all Advanced Mages!

The division was split into over twenty platoons, using a fan-shaped Formation. The light of the Star Constellations was so unprecedentedly dense that it felt like a galaxy had spread across the sea and was shining down upon the Pudong Sea.

The light of the Star Constellations was only the beginning. The real destruction would only occur after the Star Constellations were fully constructed!

If the Star Constellations were stacking up like a galaxy, the combination of Plummeting Rays, Sky-Flame Funerals, Icebound Coffins, and Wind Wing Slashes would symbolize the collapse of the galaxy.

Howls, screeches, blasts, and energy waves surged across the place.

Using Group Spells at the Advanced Level was a whole new level compared to the Intermediate Level. Nothing could possibly withstand the destruction, except for the boundless sky and sea.

The seawater for a dozen kilometers evaporated while the sky was filled with destructive clouds. The Sea Skeleton King’s body parts were crumbling amid the spells.

It opened its mouth and shrieked in fury.

Cloudy mists gathered out of nowhere and circled its body like shields, constantly repairing themselves after they were broken.

The Advanced Spells poured down continuously on the Sea Skeleton King. However, the creature boldly jumped directly into the rain of Advanced Spells.

Knocks, punches, slams…

The Sea Skeleton King was like an unstoppable deity enduring a rain of bullets, shattering countless Advanced Spells.

It had no intention of backing away. It charged straight at a platoon of Advanced Mages.

Blood sprayed in the area where the Star Constellations were. The feet of the Sea Skeleton King were dyed red.

Even though Mo Fan was far away, he knew the platoon of Advanced Mages had been wiped out!

A platoon with over a hundred Advanced Mages, all killed by a single stomp!

“Advanced Platoons, fall back!”

“Generals, prepare for battle!”

The commander threw another flag into the sky. Everyone could see the special flag amid the chaos.

The generals were finally on the move.

It was extremely dangerous to fight the Sea Skeleton King head-on. Even the generals might be the next ones to sacrifice their lives!

However, they did not have a choice. They had to pay the price to take down a powerful creature.

The Sea Skeleton King would be able to go everywhere it pleased if no one was willing to step forward!
