The Battlemages in their brown and blue outfits were gradually retreating towards the clock tower, while the Rock Monsters, Rock Generals, and Granite Beasts pushed ahead.

It turned out that Xie Qinghua’s Gravitational Ring had lost its effect. An overwhelming number of Rock Monsters were going after the Barrier Core now, creating a devastating scene when looking down from a certain height. It felt like the number of the rock creatures had not gone down at all, despite the prolonged battle.

The Rock Monsters had the ability to absorb the Mages they captured, meaning that those who made a mistake or were injured would eventually be captured by the Rock Monsters and strengthen them. Therefore, it was difficult to tell if their determination had helped to thin out the enemy’s numbers, or give the enemy a pat on the back!

“It seems like there’s no hope left,” Xie Qinghua sighed.

“That Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon is just too strong. None of us can stop it,” her advisor agreed.

“I initially thought…” Deputy Lieutenant Hou wanted to say something, but also ended up letting out a sigh. He glanced at the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon and suddenly saw a figure approaching it rapidly.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was currently standing in front of the clock tower. The Granite Beasts that were previously escorting it were launching a full assault on their defense. They were obviously trying to break through the defense together. The illusionary dark figure managed to sneak up to the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon without alerting them.

“Is that…Mo Fan?” Wen Xia exclaimed when she looked down from the tower.

“What is he doing? He’s in such a bad shape!” Fang Di said.

“The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon noticed him!”

—

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon turned around. Its eyes emitted an evil glow, looking down at Mo Fan in an aloof manner.

This human seriously did not know his place!

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon’s senses were insanely good. It could easily detect the presence of Shadow Mages, so Mo Fan’s attempt to sneak up on it was meaningless!

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon’s gaze sharpened. It immediately locked onto the actual spot where Mo Fan was standing at. It swung its hand at it like it was smashing a little cockroach.

Over a hundred meters of the ground cracked apart. Mo Fan could feel his head spinning when the hand loomed over him.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon did not smash Mo Fan into pieces. It grabbed Mo Fan after knocking him unconscious and lifted him into the sky.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was well aware of Mo Fan’s strength. The man was able to kill three of its powerful subordinates in a short period of time. If it absorbed the man’s energy, it would be able to push through the defense easily!

“Crap, Mo Fan is caught!” Wen Xia yelled with a pale face.

“Shit, we are done for!” Fang Di screamed.

“Why are you two panicking for!?” the chief of the Brown Rock Mages, Lu Bin, demanded impatiently.

“Lu Bin, you have no idea of Mo Fan’s strength. If he wasn’t injured because of underestimating the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon, I believe he would be able to take on the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon. However, the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon has now caught Mo Fan. Once it absorbs Mo Fan’s energy, who knows how strong the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon is going to be!” Deputy Lieutenant Hou said.

“Humph, he seriously knows how to add to the trouble, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s not like the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon can flip the sky upside down after absorbing him. We just need to stand our ground. Even if we can’t defeat those Rock Monsters, there’s no way they can break through the castle’s defense!” Lu Bin stated arrogantly.

A deafening roar came from below the tower while Lu Bin was talking. The terrifying noise knocked a bunch of Battlemages to the ground, especially those in the Basic and Intermediate Levels!

“It’s evolving!” Xie Qinghua could no longer stay calm.

So many Basic and Intermediate Mages had lost their ability to fight because of the roar. How were they supposed to defend the castle?

They initially thought the young man was a helper from Heaven, yet he had now become a part of the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon in the blink of an eye, and made that creature even stronger. It was better if he had not intervened in the first place!

“Look at what he has done!” Lu Bin gulped anxiously.

—

On the fifth defensive platform of the castle, Tao Jing, Zhou Donghao, Lin Qihui, and the rest of their group were staring at the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon too. They were able to see the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon’s head, and happened to witness it swallow Mo Fan.

“Isn’t that guy… Fan Mo?” Tao Jing said uncertainly.

“It’s him,” Lin Qihui sounded quite confident.

“That idiot, I told him to be careful, he’s so unreliable… Strange, why is that creature evolving? Can it still evolve after absorbing such a weak Mage, who only has impressive looks, but is actually useless?” Zhou Donghao wondered.

Tao Jing and Lin Qihui did not speak. They had noticed a golden light start to form on the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon’s armor!

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon roared into the sky. Its cries echoed continuously in the night sky. Everyone within dozens of kilometers was able to hear it clearly.

Its armor and body were transforming. The armor covering its shoulders, chest, legs, and arms had turned golden. Even though its height and size did not change by much, its imposing aura was strong enough to overwhelm the minds of Advanced Mages!

“How…how is this possible!?” Lu Bin flew into the sky. He was intending to fend off the creature with his Super Spell, but he was now struggling to breathe under the enormous pressure from the Ruler-level creature as he drew closer to it. He even failed to channel his spells properly!

A huge hand swung at Lu Bin as soon as he moved a little closer.

The hand enlarged significantly while it was swinging through the air. Lu Bin quickly Summoned a Rock Barrier to defend himself.

Lu Bin wrapped himself up like a ball of rocks, but completely failed to resist the force of the attack. The ball of rocks went through the side of the mountain nearby and slammed into a residential area several kilometers away!

The people froze when they saw Lu Bin being knocked flying. If a Super Mage was already so weak against it, what was the point of them staying to defend the place?
