Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

Chapter 398 Hostage Taking! The Insidious Red Crack Demon!

……

Twentieth Street.

Ever since Nan Yi and Chu Qingxuan joined the battle, the situation in the 20th block has completely reversed.

Seven heads!

The 20th Block has now killed seven commander-level demons, including one great commander, two middle commanders, and four small commanders.

The price paid was only the loss of magic power of Nan Yi and Chu Qingxuan, but the overall combat power of the high-level mages in the 20th block was still relatively intact, with only a few injured.

This record was undoubtedly extremely amazing, but before this, perhaps only the mayor of the 20th District believed that Nan Yi and Chu Qingxuan had the ability to influence the situation of the Wave Battle.

However, the district chief at that time did not know Nan Yi's true strength. Therefore, when everyone saw that Nan Yi and Chu Qingxuan took over the battle situation in the 20th block by their own strength, no one was not moved.

I've never seen anything like this in my life. I didn't know a high-level magician could look like this!
It was even more frightening to think that both of them were only high-level first-class mages of a single system.

The future is limitless!

"Sigh... If I had built the constellation earlier, perhaps those two hunters would not have died." Chu Qingxuan, who had just dealt with a small commander and was heading towards the next location, sighed softly.

Just now, when dealing with the little commander, Chu Qingxuan constructed the high-level magic Silent Thunder Death Light as usual.

But because Chu Qingxuan had just entered the advanced level and had been fighting for a long time, the constellation construction speed was ultimately a beat slower. The two mid-level mages who were responsible for the containment ultimately failed to hold on until the support of Lei Guang arrived.

Hearing this, the district chief consoled him: "Ms. Qingxuan, everyone has their limits. Without you, the 20th District might have been destroyed long ago. As long as there is a war, sacrifices are inevitable. This is already the most perfect result."

He could see that Chu Qingxuan's understanding and experience of war and death were insufficient, which was why she was hesitant and regretful when faced with sacrifice.

That's why he spoke up to enlighten her.

But war is cruel and ruthless, and he has been in Donghai City for more than twenty years and has long been accustomed to death day after day.

When he was just a beginner mage, he dropped out of school due to family reasons and came to Donghai City to work in logistics. He also met many senior hunters, so it was common to see hunters who were drinking liquor and watching singing and dancing yesterday disappear the next day.

People in their teens and twenties are at an age when their blood is boiling. He will feel uncomfortable and sad at the beginning, which will affect his state.

But as he experienced more, he also saw through the nature of war.

War is everywhere. It is a struggle that will never end. As long as one of the two sides, humans and demons, exists, there will be no end to it. Even within the human race, there will be a never-ending struggle.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

As a group of people, they cannot change the world order, so they can only try their best to do the best they can.

The district chief's words made Chu Qingxuan pause slightly. She knew what the district chief meant, and also understood that she really needed more experience.

"Thank you, District Chief."

"Hahaha, you're welcome."

While the two were talking, they arrived at another destination in the block.

The 20th block was located at the forefront of the wave. Although for some reason many sirens passed them and chose to directly invade the blocks behind. But when the leaders of the 20th block were all killed, new leaders began to appear, so that the wave pressure on the block was even greater than before.

Nowadays, the commanders who appear are no longer limited to small commanders and medium commanders, and even the frequency of appearance of great commanders has begun to increase.

At this moment, where Chu Qingxuan and the district chief were rushing to, two red-colored cracked monsters of the commander-in-chief level suddenly appeared, which were particularly troublesome.

The mage who was currently holding the two red cracked monsters was Nan Yi. Nan Yi did not act with Chu Qingxuan just now, but he left Xiao Ning with Chu Qingxuan, and only brought Xiao Yi who could resonate with him.

At this moment, the two commander-level red-colored monsters and Nan Yi completely brought the situation to a stalemate.

It’s not that Nan Yi couldn’t kill these two red monsters, nor was it that he couldn’t defeat them.

On the contrary, at the beginning, the Red Rift Demon tried to fight against Nan Yi, but after discovering that Nan Yi was not someone they could deal with at all, he changed his strategy.

And this strategy is what they did as soon as they appeared.

When they first appeared, they attacked the three squadron hunters stationed in the block, but did not kill them on the spot. Instead, they ordered the siren waves to surround them.

That's right, they first surrounded three teams of hunters before choosing to fight Nan Yi. The hostage threat made it difficult for Nan Yi to start.

This means that they knew from the beginning that Nan Yi was difficult to deal with, or they may have noticed Nan Yi killing their compatriots from the beginning, but did not show up to take action at the first time, but instead found the opportunity to take hostages.

This kind of strategy should not be possessed by a siren who only knows how to kill, but it actually happened.

Chu Qingxuan and the district chief came to Nan Yi.

The district chief asked, "Nan Yijun, what's going on?"

Nan Yi frowned and replied: "There are no casualties among the hostages at the moment, but we can't do anything for the time being."

Chu Qingxuan glanced at the hunters who were surrounded by two red monsters and a group of slave warriors in the distance, and couldn't help but frown.

Although the telepathy could not allow her to control the minds of these sirens, she could feel that these two red-colored sea monsters did not want to fight to the death with them.

Once this intuition came into being, combined with what she knew now, Chu Qingxuan had a new guess.

After a pause, Chu Qingxuan expressed her thoughts: "Why do I feel like these sea monsters just want to drag us down?"

Chu Qingxuan's words made Nan Yi ponder: "Drag us?"

"Yes."

Chu Qingxuan nodded and expressed her guess.

"The 20th Block should have been destroyed long ago, but it miraculously survived and gathered a large number of elite mages who retreated from the frontline blocks."

"It can be said that after a brief period of turbulence, the 20th Street District has not only stabilized, but has also become the biggest obstacle to the invasion of the wave."

Chu Qingxuan's words also made Nan Yi understand something, and he said, "So they don't want to invest too much in us, otherwise they won't be able to put more pressure on other blocks?"

Chu Qingxuan nodded: "That's what I mean."

The two looked at the district chief who was listening nearby, wanting to ask him what he thought.

The district chief frowned and said, "But... why are they holding us back? If we keep on like this, human support will arrive sooner or later. Support from Tokyo must be on the way."

"Besides, the wave is already chaotic. How can this group of wild demons have the brains to organize themselves? They don't have the strength to organize themselves at all."

As he was analyzing, the district chief suddenly looked up, as if he had understood something.

"unless……"
