"..."

The battle was still ongoing. Today's light barrier was much stronger than the previous days', so even with more monsters than the previous day, the time he had to endure was much longer.

Behind them were the students of the academy, as well as the garrison troops. Currently, the garrison troops only numbered about a thousand, divided into ten formations, waiting to fight against the monsters. The students of the academy, on the other hand, were much fewer.

Feng Ling also came down from the city wall. Liang Yue, Xi Yue, and Feng Ling stood at the front of the group. They were the vanguard, the first group to come into contact with the monsters.

Liang Yue shook the sword in her hand and yawned. She stretched out her hand to tie up the long hair behind her head. Now, it was their turn to participate.

With a crisp sound, the runes of magic started to turn into light and disperse. The monsters had broken through their defense, and just as they stepped out, they were met with a barrage of bullets, which was not like the barrage of a rifle. The gunshot sounds never stopped, it was an automatic weapon, although its power was not as great as that of a single-shot rifle, and its range was not far, but its attack frequency was indeed incomparable.

The dust in front of them began to scatter. The goblins, cat demonkind, and minotaur corpses scattered on the ground, and the surprising thing was that these monsters didn't rush in brainlessly like before. Instead, they stopped after the frontline was attacked.

Although these monsters had already lost their minds, it did not mean that they were stupid. On the contrary, the monsters that could survive until now were all intelligent monsters.

Liang Yue raised the sword in his hand, and a ray of light instantly enveloped the entire blade. He swung the sword downwards.

"Boom —!" With a sound, an invisible sword Qi soared into the sky, tearing a huge hole in the ground in front of him.

The people on the wall switched their automatic guns, took out their rifles, and then removed the fire elementals' Alchemy bullets. After changing the silver bullets, they started to aim at the monsters below.

"Bang!" With a gunshot, a cat demoness's mask was broken into two halves. Then, a huge hole appeared on the back of her head. Her body was slowly eroded by the silvery-white color and was ready to fight.

The monsters charged forward while roaring, and for a moment, the swords made contact with their bodies.

The city guards formed a formation, blocking the monsters outside, preventing them from breaking through the defensive perimeter. The students, on the other hand, were responsible for quickly moving around, specially looking for the stronger monsters to kill in order to reduce the pressure on the city guards.

He instantly retracted his sword, looking for his next target. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the few people were slowly walking out of the battlefield with a sword in hand, as if the monsters couldn't see them. Even the monsters that wanted to run into them would suddenly fall down, then be cut open, and those people would slowly pass through the battlefield.

He took a deep breath and retracted his consciousness. The chief wanted them to go find those lords, and their duty was to guard this place.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and pitch-black claws constantly appeared in front of his eyes.

Not good...

Two words flashed through his mind in an instant. Ding! The sharp sound of the collision exploded in his ears as the magic array was broken. His brain reacted in an instant as the sword in his hand slashed upwards.

"So strong …" A huge force came from the sword, causing Vito's sword to be unable to move. The force that was blocking the sword was gone, and the soil in front of it suddenly exploded, causing dirt that was close to the height of a person to fly out.

Not far away, a cat demon covered in red and blue patterns coldly stared at Vito.

The attack that was just about to hit was actually blocked.

It stretched out its tongue and licked its black claws. The eyes under the mask stared at Vito and let out an unpleasant cry like a child crying. It stomped its feet and turned into a ray of light as it pounced towards Vito.

The blue sword light and the black claws collided in the air. Vito's body swayed, and before he could react, the Demon Cat's face suddenly appeared in front of him. Its long tongue peeked out from under the mask, making him feel slightly disgusting.

The sword in Vito's hand suddenly slashed forward at an incredible angle, blocking the cat demon's body. A faint feeling of contact came from the tip of the sword. The cat demon let out a blood-curdling screech, turned into a black shadow, and instantly jumped backwards.

The cat demon was very powerful, so he took up a defensive stance. He scanned the battlefield from the corner of his eyes, and found that it was not only him who met a strong opponent. There were also other monsters like this one that specifically picked people like him to fight with.

His heart sank. These monsters were much stronger than he had imagined.

He took a deep breath, and the blue light on the sword dimmed. A weak white light covered the sword, and his eyes became even sharper than before, like a sword.

Shifting the sword to his other hand, Vito lowered his body and was about to rush out when a ray of light passed right over his head. The cat demoness didn't even have time to react before she was burnt to ashes.

Although he could deal with the Demon Cat, the damage was too great. Even with the healing of the Holy Church, he did not dare guarantee a safe exit from the battlefield. There were simply too many enemies in the surroundings.

However, this matter should be left for the future to talk about. Right now, the most important thing is to guard this place. The other students who met a strong enemy also suddenly appeared in front of a pillar of light, burning their enemies to ashes.

Elizabeth's weapon stared at every part of the battlefield, killing all the monsters that were difficult to destroy.

Salia floated on top of the city walls, looking at the scenery below. It was unknown what she was thinking. She and Huya had not used any magic until now.

In this situation, using large-scale magic was the best time, but the enemy's two mages hadn't appeared yet. Large-scale magic required time, and during this time, the enemy completely had the ability to interrupt their magic.

Liang Yue held her sword as she walked on the plains. The monster in front of her fell to the ground, its body slowly splitting into two. The cut was neat and smooth, not even a drop of blood was left.

He took a step forward, and his body appeared even further away. Another monster died, and the other three people also repeated the same scene, but the monster on the other side of the wind chime was different from the others.

The blue light surrounded Feng Ling's body, and a few balls of light slowly revolved around her.
