Chapter 147: Take Down Lin Mo, Make Our Name Known Across the Whole School!

At this moment.

On a plain roughly five kilometers from Lin Mo.

A gale whipped up the withered yellow grass blades, and an air of grim slaughter filled the world between heaven and earth.

Here,

five main regiments of the second year had gathered, totaling over five hundred people.

The Sixth Regiment, serving as the advance force, was currently advancing cautiously in a defensive formation.

The captain of the Sixth Regiment was named Wang Gang, also a Warrior-class professional whose strength was no small matter among the second-year students.

But at this moment,

his forehead was beaded with sweat.

Although behind him stood a full five regiments, a full five hundred companions.

Yet the string in his heart was pulled taut.

Because not long ago,

while hurrying toward the Demon King's castle, he had received a piece of news.

The Ninth Regiment had run head-on into Lin Mo's group, and in less than two seconds, they were completely wiped out.

That was a hundred people!

A hundred professionals all over level 30!

Gone in a single encounter?

The strength of this year's Long Xu Ban was truly terrifying beyond words.

"Bzzz bzzz bzzz…"

The sound of static came through the communicator.

Then came Shen Jun's voice:

"Gangzi, looking at the map, you're about to run into Lin Mo. Have you spotted him yet?"

Shen Jun spoke quickly, a note of urgency in his voice.

Wang Gang swallowed, his gaze fixed on the empty stretch of sky ahead:

"Reporting to Shen Ge, not yet… wait!"

Before the words had faded.

Wang Gang's pupils contracted sharply.

On the distant horizon, a strange crimson light suddenly appeared.

A figure, wrapped in a towering wave of heat, was hurtling toward them at a terrifying speed.

That crimson light drew closer and closer, brighter and brighter.

Only now did Wang Gang see clearly.

One person!

Only one person!

Behind him, every beat of those enormous flame wings left a brilliant trail of fire across the sky.

A phantom image of a Flame Demon appeared behind that figure.

Those eyes, composed of pure flame, gazed down indifferently at the ants below.

"I see him!"

Wang Gang shouted, "Shen Ge! I see him! It's Lin Mo!"

On the other end of the communicator, Shen Jun asked urgently:

"How many?! Look clearly! Who's with him?!"

Wang Gang's eyes went wide as he tried to search through the blazing firelight for other figures.

But…

Nothing.

Apart from that figure dazzling as a blazing sun, the surroundings were utterly empty.

"One…"

Wang Gang confirmed again in disbelief, "Shen Ge, I see clearly now, there's only one person!"

"What?!"

At this moment.

Even through the communicator, Wang Gang could feel Shen Jun's stunned emotion.

Really just one person?

This Lin Mo, is he truly so arrogant as to dare come alone, charge toward the Hero's main city, and launch a counter-siege?

Heaven and earth truly overturned!

After a brief deathly silence.

Shen Jun suddenly roared:

"Good, very good!"

"He dares to wander around alone, dares to counter-siege by himself? He's looking down on us too much, isn't he?"

"Does he really think he's a god?"

"Gangzi, since he's asking for death, then grant it to him!"

"You have five hundred people over there! Plus a hundred and fifty Water Mages!"

"As long as we take down Lin Mo, we win! Forget any tactics, this is the best chance!"

Listening to Shen Jun's roar.

The fear in Wang Gang's heart was also replaced by that wild fighting spirit.

That's right.

Scared of what?

There's only one person on the other side!

So what if you're number one on the board, so what if you're the genius Long Xu Ban hasn't seen in a hundred years.

But in the face of absolute numbers and elemental counter, you're just a little brother!

"Understood!"

Wang Gang hung up the communicator.

He suddenly drew the long blade at his waist, turned around, and looked at the dark mass of five hundred troops behind him.

He took a deep breath, completely suppressing the fear in his heart, and the ambition in his eyes began to burn wildly.

This was a chance!

A chance to step on the number one and rise to fame across the whole school!

"Brothers! The target has appeared!"

"Right up in the sky! Only one person!"

"All water mages, heed my order! Everyone forward! Form ranks! Join hands and activate 【Water Shield】, counter him to death for me!"

"The rest of you, after blocking the first wave of attacks, turn around and take down Lin Mo!"

Saying this, Wang Gang suddenly pointed his long blade at the sky and roared loudly:

"Brothers!"

"Don't be intimidated by his reputation! He's just a freshman under level 30!"

"Today!"

"I, Wang Gang, will be the hero who severs the Demon King's head!!"

"Kill——!!"

Following Wang Gang's furious roar, the momentum of the five hundred reached its peak at this moment.

The desire for glory blazed in everyone's eyes.

To become the hero who severs the head of Long Xu Ban's number one, the great Demon King Lin Mo!

That title was too tempting!

"Water mage squad! Forward!"

Swoooosh—

The crowd quickly parted.

A hundred and fifty water-element mages swiftly charged to the very front of the formation.

Their expressions solemn, the staffs in their hands raised in unison.

In an instant.

Dense water elements gathered wildly in the air.

Streaks of blue ripples spread out before the mages, then connected and merged with one another.

In just a few short seconds.

A gigantic azure water curtain, dozens of meters tall and over a hundred meters wide, suddenly stretched across the plains!

The water curtain flowed, shimmering with rippling light.

This was the 【Water Shield】 cast jointly by a hundred and fifty water mages.

Forget about some number-one fire mage.

Even a level-60 fire mage here would be useless.

Unless a high-tier fire skill was used, there might be hope of breaking this great Water Shield formation.

Wang Gang stood behind the water curtain.

He looked at this impregnable defense, and his heart was greatly settled.

He raised his head, looked at the figure in the air, and the corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile:

"Demon King Lin Mo, right? Want to break the formation alone? Dream on!"

"Next, this will be where you die!"

……

……

High up in the sky.

Lin Mo flapped his Blazing Wind Wings and hovered above the front of this army.

Whoooosh—

The gale whipped his hem, fluttering loudly.

He looked down from above.

Looking at that enormous light curtain emanating astonishing water-element fluctuations.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

He instantly understood the purpose of this group.

"Gathering so many water mages, wanting to use water elements to counter my fire system?"

"Looks like that guy called Shen Jun has some brains after all."

He had to admit.

This response strategy could be called textbook-level.

Knowing the opponent was a powerful fire spell, he rapidly gathered water-element power to build a defense.

If it were an ordinary fire spell—even a level 40 or level 50 fire spell—they'd probably be having a massive headache right now.

But unfortunately…

What they ran into was Lin Mo.

Or rather, the unreasonable bunch of skills inside Lin Mo's body.

【【Fireball】 looked down at that azure water curtain below, as if it had received a tremendous insult.】

【【Fireball】 flew into a rage: Hmph, you lowly ant, how dare you妄想 use water to block this lord?】

【【Fireball】's blazing flames surged wildly around it: This lord is destined to become a Forbidden Spell, the Lord of All Flames! How could mere mortal water dare block the way?!】

Seeing Hearing Xiao Huo's fighting spirit was so high.

Lin Mo could only smile helplessly.

"Alright then."

"Since Hearing Xiao Huo has so much confidence, let's go give it a try."

He also wanted to know,

whether he could actually break through this water spell grand array while his element was being countered.
