In the curtain of rain, Lu Jun watched the gradually distant figure of Yang Zuohe. His vigilance reached its peak. He knew that the Black Vatican would never give up on the Holy Spring. Was this a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
As for the border, he thought it shouldn't be too much of a concern. A few years ago, Zhan Kong was already a mber of the National team.
The World College Competition, held every four years, is a global competition among universities, representing the strength of each country's reserves, comparable to the Olympics of Earth—if not even more prestigious.
Thus, looking across the universities of the world, Zhan Kong was among the top experts. Having reached the Advanced level early on, he had definitely single-handedly defeated Commander-level monsters.
Now, Lu Jun's side was the real key. Fortunately, neither Captain Liang nor Yang Zuohe had consciously regarded him as combat power, and the Black Vatican likely thought the sa. Little did they know, a hidden blade was sharp.
After Yang Zuohe left, Captain Liang spoke to him regretfully: "Let's go. We'll head to the basent and wake up that student. What a pity—this could have been a great opportunity. However, given this situation, we'll have to wait for the disaster to subside before soaking him again."
Lu Jun, however, remained motionless. He overlooked the vast buildings of Bo City and said faintly, "It's too late. The Black Vatican is here."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as his words fell, a series of explosions resounded amidst the torrential rain. Captain Liang hurried to the railing and looked down, only to see flas erupting from every street and alley. Even the rain could not obscure the fiery spectacle.
Explosions rang out across various locations. The previously orderly evacuation turned into panic, and chaos seed to spread rapidly.
Lu Jun's sharp eyes caught sight of shadows darting out from the darkness—so from the sewers, others from certain houses. They moved at high speed, turning into afterimages rushing toward the most prominent landmark in the center: the Silver Trading Tower.
A simple glance revealed at least hundreds of them.
In addition, black-robed figures erged one after another. Magic flared in their hands as they indiscriminately launched attacks wherever there were people.
Captain Liang gasped when he got a clear look at those shadows. Their pitch-black bodies, monkey-like faces, grotesque, twisted limbs—it was nauseating.
"Those are the Black Vatican's Black Beast Monsters! Damn it, we can't leave now!"
He hurriedly descended the stairs, saying, "I'll go fetch the student and the Holy Spring from the basent. You follow . I'll see if I can attempt a breakout to join up with the scattered teams outside."
But the next second, Lu Jun's earpiece connected with his sister's urgent voice: "Lu Jun, stay where you are. Black Vatican mbers are attacking civilians near , causing a blockage. I won't be able to reach you anyti soon."
Tang Yue, Lin Yuxin, and others were similarly delayed by various factors, scattered across different parts of Bo City. By the ti they finished destroying the underground tunnels and returned, the Black Vatican had already acted.
Lu Jun understood the enemy's strategy: divide, encircle, and strike. Exploit weaknesses and eliminate them one by one. A portion of their forces acted as a distraction, while the main forces concentrated on breaking through vulnerable points.
With Yang Zuohe gone, the Silver Trading Tower was left defenseless.
From his mories, Lu Jun recalled that among the Black Vatican, there were only a few notable individuals. However, their lower-level cultists and priests were nurous, capable of ambushing and nearly annihilating the mages who destroyed the underground tunnels.
Now, their sudden assault revealed an astonishing force.
Captain Liang had already gone downstairs to retrieve the Holy Spring.
As the crisis lood, Lu Jun instead revealed a mocking, wild smile. "Finally, you're here. I've been itching for a fight."
His eyes glowed faintly with a platinum brilliance. He stretched out his hand, and in almost an instant, he controlled the Star Paths of Basic tal Magic. A Heavy Golden Sword materialized—about three feet long, roughly 1.2 ters—slamming heavily into the ground.
Imdiately after, Lu Jun began drawing the Star Map for Interdiate Gold Magic. Weapon Control: Flight was his target spell. Since mastering the Stars a year ago, he had grown increasingly proficient through constant hunting of demons.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In just three seconds, a platinum Star Map unfolded beneath Lu Jun's feet. Forty-nine stars aligned, interwoven by seven Star Paths, releasing a surge of magical energy imbued with a sharp, magnetic quality.
Soon, under the effect of the magnetic field, Lu Jun's legs left the ground. He hovered in mid-air, floating to the very top of the Silver Trading Tower, standing atop an antenna. Surrounding him, fierce winds howled, and heavy rain poured down. His coat flapped wildly as he gazed over Bo City from the rain-soaked pinnacle, exuding unparalleled dominance.
Whoosh!
Under the powerful magnetic force, the Heavy Golden Sword rose from the ground, transforming into a dark flying sword. It streaked through the rain like lightning, traversing 800 ters in one breath.
Activating its enlarged and enhanced state, the sword expanded to a length of over three zhang (approximately 12 ters). Wrapped in platinum brilliance, it slashed down with imnse force, breaking the sound barrier. The resulting shockwave turned rain into spiraling waves, layer upon layer like tides, creating a spectacular sight.
Shriek!
Throughout Bo City, a piercing sonic boom echoed, akin to a supersonic fighter jet flying at low altitude. The sound stung eardrums, and before anyone could react, a massive platinum light streaked across the night sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three-zhang Heavy Golden Sword slamd down with the force of a super heavy truck, obliterating everything in its path. Concrete walls crumbled, and buildings collapsed as it plowed through an entire street, scattering debris and rubble.
The twenty or so Black Beast Monsters that had just appeared along the street had no ti to react before they faced the full brunt of the Heavy Golden Sword.
Splat! Splat!
Like skewered kebabs, they were crushed into minced flesh, blood splattering everywhere. Limbs flew like grotesque blossoms of blood-red lotus, filling the air with a grueso mist.
The entire area trembled as the sword finally lost its montum, with its tip embedded into the ground.
On a nearby street, Tang Yue stood in stunned silence. She had been surrounded by Black Beast Monsters from all sides, only for this sword to descend from the sky and sweep away all her enemies, leaving just a few scattered survivors.
It felt surreal. She stared at the massive, dark "truck-like" sword embedded in the ground, which was taller than her entire body.
Not long after, her earpiece transmitted Lu Jun's calm voice: "The Black Beast Monsters in your area have been dealt with. Escort the civilians to the safe zone, then support the borders."
After ending the call, she instinctively turned around, looking up through the pouring rain at the towering Silver Trading Tower. At its peak stood a blurred figure, radiating unmatched arrogance.
With a mix of disbelief, Tang Yue muttered, "Was that your doing? What kind of magic equipnt is this... Wait, but what about the Holy Spring?"
At the tower's summit, Lu Jun's hands glowed with platinum light. Holding the earpiece, he replied calmly yet domineeringly, "It doesn't matter. I will take action!"
After ending the call, he activated Water Magic. Controlling the Basic Water spell Tidal Wave: Water Guard, he continuously released it.
Instantly, the surrounding water vapor condensed into several streams of vibrant blue water, circling him in endless cycles. They ford a protective barrier that enveloped him completely, leaving no gaps.
The fierce winds and rain were entirely blocked, leaving Lu Jun's once-soaked clothes dry. In the rainy environnt, the Water Guard spell seed to grow even stronger.
Surrounded by the azure streams, standing high above, Lu Jun beca an even more prominent target.
