Chapter 2501: Wasteland Battlefield on the Sea Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Mo Fan continued to watch the clips. He soon realized that the things he could learn from them were fairly limited. He needed more time to recover his energy, but he could still study the Sea Skeleton King from far away without being involved in a fight. It would be more effective than surfing clips on Tiktok at home. He left his apartment and headed out to meet up with Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu. Zhao Manyan was injured while he was stopping more sea monsters from entering the Huangpu River. He would have to rest for a while. Clips of Zhao Manyan’s brave actions were spreading among the students now. The jerk had managed to grab a lot of attention. Countless girls were smitten with him. The more Mo Fan thought about it, the stronger he believed Zhao Manyan was the writer of the post about him. Once he defamed Mo Fan, he would be able to lay his hands on the beautiful juniors of the Pearl Institute as he pleased! “Mu Bai isn’t coming either?” Jiang Shaoxu asked him, concerned. “He’s one of the leaders of the South Wing Platoon. He’s currently busy going to different places helping the people. It’s better being a free man. I can rest when I want and help when I feel like it without any burden,” Mo Fan replied glibly. Since he had not joined any organizations, he could just take some time off when he wanted, without being restricted by duty or obligations. “When are you going earn the title of Senior Hunter? Otherwise, it will be hard for us to obtain the insider information we need!” Lingling berated him. “Great idea, assuming the Magic City’s Hunter Union is still standing!” Mo Fan answered. — The battlefield and the city were only a dam apart. Streets full of pedestrians were located right below the dam. It was not like the city was not evacuating the people to safety, but not many places were truly safe at the moment. Humanity’s safe zones had shrunk significantly. The cities were the safest places left! Once the cities fell, they would find monster dens everywhere they went. The dam was heavily guarded by soldiers. The Mages had lined up like a wall slightly higher than the dam. The Magic Barrier’s arc of protection ended just a little in front of the dam. It did not waste the slightest amount of space. Flying creatures were occasionally spotted roving between the clouds and the sea. Most of them were creatures like vultures, who did not involve themselves in fights directly. They had their eyes fixed on the dead and the dying creatures, both humans and sea monsters. The residents of the Magic City staying on higher floors could easily watch the battlefield. It was likely the successful people who liked to stay above everyone would be enjoying the scenic view with a glass of red wine in their hands. “Have you fully recovered?” Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously. “We are just taking a look on the outskirts. We aren’t going into it,” Mo Fan reminded. He was as useless without energy as any other mage. “It won’t feel great just watching without getting into the action,” Jiang Shaoxu complained. Lingling rolled her eyes at the two shameless people and shunned, “There’s still an underage here!” “Lingling, you know too much.” “The young girls are like this nowadays. They know a lot of stuff at a young age, unlike me. I still thought holding hands would make me pregnant when I was around the age of fifteen,” Jiang Shaoxu remarked. “...” Lingling activated the proper mode of ignoring everything around her, putting on an expressionless face. Whether the person was a human or a dog, she would just treat them like crying crows. They left the Barrier and crossed the dam. A strong smell of blood promptly assailed their noses. Mo Fan had long gotten used to the smell, but Jiang Shaoxu was irritated by the odor. Meanwhile, Lingling, who was brave enough to dissect any creature’s corpse, was walking calmly down the street. “You guys are pretty bold. Do you really want to keep going that way?” a Battlemage asked them. They were from the Magic Association, and had just retreated from the front line. They were sitting on the balcony of a damaged building instead of resting back in the city. There were many buildings in the area. The balconies of the buildings were the main platforms the Mages used to move around after the area was submerged. Summoned vines had been tied between the buildings to use as bridges. As for places without many buildings, wood and stone was piled up for the Mages to walk on. Many Mages were non-swimmers, so they needed places to stand, similar to the maritime battlefields in Japan. The trio followed the bridges as they headed toward the sea. Almost every platform and tower was stationed with Mages. They were either awaiting orders or resting. Most of them were treating injuries. Those who were covered by blankets or clothes and lying still on the ground were most likely people who had sacrificed their lives. The fighting was intense. The force exerted by the Sea Skeleton King when it swung its arms around casually could easily destroy the body of any Intermediate or Advanced Mages. The Basic Mages had to stick close together, or they were going to die crazily fast. “Hey, you three, if you go further, you will be entering the battlefield where the Sea Skeleton King is. You shouldn’t be here just to get some attention on the Internet. You won’t even know how you died!” a seemingly strict Mage of the Magic Association warned them. The man had thick brows. His frown gave him the appearance of an unreasonable fellow. “We are Mages too. We only came to learn more about the situation. Don’t worry, if anything happens, we will run quicker than anyone here!” Mo Fan called back. “What an idiot!” the man snarled with a strong bias. As the group went further ahead, they stumbled into ever more soldiers. The military was holding the front line. The other organizations were mainly playing a support role, providing the army with backup. — 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 “Brother Fan, over here!...” Zhang Xiaohou yelled when he saw them approaching. Many platforms and bridges had been connected to a wasteland battlefield made up of concrete, cars, and debris. The place was spacious, looking like a huge junkyard from afar. Sturdy objects were compressed and piled up to form a battlefield that could withstand the strong waves coming from the sea. The place had become the military’s main camp. Tents had even been set up on top of the area. “Are you involved in the battle, too?” Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise. Zhang Xiaohou shook his head and said, “I’m currently on standby. I didn’t receive any orders from my superiors, but I’m not allowed to go anywhere on my own, either.” “Just in time, then! Tell us about the situation...” Mo Fan grinned. Zhang Xiaohou looked at the clouds and replied with a wry smile, “I don’t think that’s necessary. You will soon be able to see it yourself!” Mo Fan followed his gaze and noticed some unusual movement in the waters ahead. The waves were moving wildly, but they were not splashing and rolling. It looked more like a formidable existence was grabbing the waves and swinging them around! The sea was free from the restraints of gravity. It was a thrilling sight!
