Chapter 40: Riot! One Man Challenges the Beast Tide

Andrew looked outside the city with a calm look, and then suddenly took a step forward!

“You don’t have to worry about us!”

He wanted to kill Zefa first. But President Lizzy shouted nervously, “No!”

“A self-destruction of a great mage level will cause huge damage to the city!” Her worry was not without reason. Zefa thought that he could escape unscathed because he wanted to take advantage of this point. After becoming a great mage, the power of the magic nodes in his body was highly condensed. So, if he was in a desperate situation, he could completely burst out all the energy in his body as a last resort!

Zefa’s meaning was clear. If the people of Rafax City wanted to stop him and fight with him, it would cause mutual destruction. In the end, all of them would die in the beast tide!

However, he did not expect that Andrew would be so brave and rushed over!

“Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid that I will perish together with you!”

Zefa dodged the flaming sword in Andrew’s hand in a fluster as he shouted in an extremely aggrieved tone. If the one who attacked him was an ordinary great mage, he could have relied on his magic to fight with him. However, Andrew was unconventional! He first cast a spell to add fire under his feet and then condensed a sword and a whip in his hand. Then he launched a series of attacks!

“You’re going too far!” Zefa could only dodge again and again, but he was still in danger. “I’ll fight it out with you!”

After being forced to a dead-end, Zefa the great mage finally realized that he couldn’t run away this time. He summoned the dark element power in his body and prepared to perish together with Andrew! However, he heard a sneer the next moment.

“Stupid.” Andrew sneered. The arcane spell the red lotus flare suddenly appeared! They directly wrapped around Zefa’s body. The fire spirit was secretly casting a spell!

“Goodbye,” Andrew said.

Zefa had detonated his magic node. However, the full power of the burning arcane forcibly ignited the power that turned turbulent in Zefa’s body! In an instant, Zefa looked like a huge burning torch!

However, even though his power was constantly spreading outwards, it could only be ignited by the fire element! As a result, after being scattered for a few minutes, all the power in Zefa’s body disappeared!

Andrew then calmly turned his head and looked at the stunned mages present.

“Mr. Smith, you’re awesome.”

The Association Headquarters’ Inspector, Raphael, said respectfully. He had seen many great mages in the Moore Republic, but he had never seen anyone who could burn a great mage to death! The gap between their strength was too big!

‘Only legendary mages and supreme mages can do this easily! But Andrew even is not a great mage. His understanding of the burning arcane is far beyond that of an ordinary mage!’

Raphael felt dizzy.

However, Andrew did not have time to care about the surprise of these people at this time. He looked in the direction outside the city and frowned. He knew that once the beast tide erupted, the result would be extremely tragic!

Andrew did not always live in Rafax City. About 30 years ago, Pompeii City that he lived in was destroyed by a beast tide! The beasts were different from the human armies. The latter might left some valuable people like women and children, but the magical beasts killed all the creatures that they saw! All valuable things would be devoured or destroyed by them! If they couldn’t defeat the beasts this time, Rafax City would become a ruin and a dead city and there was no possibility to restore it!

That Zefa opened the teleportation door meant that the beast tide would erupt! It meant that there would be a disastrous war between the people of this city and the magical beasts outside the city!

After a short moment of silence, the two Presidents of the Association who had initially wanted to help, as well as the seniors of the Association, gathered around Andrew.

“Mr. Smith, there’s still some time before the magical beasts attack us. Why don’t we retreat first?”

It seemed that they did not hesitate when making such a decision.

They didn’t think that they could defeat the beasts! Defeating a magical beast required several mages of the same level to attack together, especially when fighting with powerful beasts such as Cyclops.

Other than Andrew, there were only two advanced mages in the city. There were about ten intermediate mages. The remaining beginner mages would not be of much help in the battle. They might even be beaten to death by the magical beasts!

There was no chance of winning!

There were hundreds of thousands of people in Rafax City. Even if the magical beasts kill the people crazily, it would still take some time to kill all of them. Time was enough for the mages and their families to run away! Even Lanza said to Andrew, “Mr. Smith, we can’t defend the city this time! Let’s go!”

“With your talent and strength, you will be valued and respected where you go!”

Everyone present felt utterly wretched. If it weren’t for the situation, they wouldn’t be willing to give up their home.

Looking at them, Andrew smiled and shook his head. Then he said, “I think it’s not time to give up yet. There are several magical beasts of great level in the teleportation door, but it’s unlikely that they all come and attack Rafax City!”

“I guess that the beast tide will erupt in many places on the planet at the same time. If there aren’t many magical beasts of great level in Rafax City, I can handle it!”

“You guys guard the city! I’ll go to the teleportation door and kill those powerful enemies! In this case, can you guard the city?” Andrew said, gritting his teeth.

To be honest, he had lived in the city for decades and got along very well with his neighbors. Before his talent awakened, he was just an ordinary old man. He was helped by many people in the city. Therefore, his conscience didn’t allow him to leave the people in the city and run away!

“Mr. Smith…”

The mages present realised that they had made indiscreet remarks.

“Alright! Then we’ll do as you say. If you can block the attacks from the powerful beasts, we will also try our best to destroy the enemy! We are not that timid!”

As the vice-president, Lanza made a decision. The others present did not say anything. Under such conditions, no one had the cheek to say that he would run away.

Andrew nodded calmly. Then, he tidied up his robe and dashed in the direction outside the city.

…

Boom—

The sky was filled with flames and there was the sound of explosions everywhere! Either the beginner magical beasts or the intermediate magical beasts were unable to withstand a single blow from Andrew. They were all burnt into charred corpses and ashes.

“You even can’t withstand a single blow.” Andrew casually waved his fingers and looked rather relaxed.

‘I’m closer to the teleportation door and have fended off the first wave attacks from the weak magical beasts. There should be sufficient time for them to get ready.”

Andrew restored his magic power. He didn’t consume much of his spiritual energy in the battle just now because half of the spells were cast by the fire spirit.

“The next battle will be tough!”

At this moment, he was staring intently at the teleportation door in front of him. He could sense the killing aura inside. One…no, several powerful magical beasts sensed what Andrew had done. It was obvious that they were about to come out!

“Come on.”

Andrew smiled as a flame formed by the pure burning arcane appeared in his hand. The teleportation door suddenly emitted a strong light and some ripples slowly appeared..
