Chapter 75: Explode Them All!!

At this moment, chaos reigned inside the other carriages.

"Boom—!"

The roof was torn open by sharp claws.

Immediately after,

a grotesque demon head poked inside.

Saliva dripped from its sharp fangs, landing right beside the embrace of a mother clutching her child tightly below.

"Ah!! Help! Help!"

The mother closed her eyes in despair, shielding the little girl in her arms beneath her body.

The scent of death swept over them.

Suddenly,

the demon shuddered violently, as if struck by some unyieldable provocation.

It halted its downward plunge and withdrew its head back through the roof.

The anticipated death did not come.

The young mother trembled as she opened her eyes, her face full of confusion.

"Wha... what's going on?"

The other passengers in the carriage were also stunned.

Just then,

someone pointed at the window and shouted:

"Quick, look over there!"

Everyone turned their heads to look out the window.

Lin Mo hovered in midair.

Wild winds howled, making his robes flap and rustle.

Those massive wings of blazing flame spread wildly behind him, like a fire god descending to the mortal world.

"Mommy... is, is that a great hero? A great hero with wings?"

The little girl had just finished crying, tears still clinging to her face, her hands tightly clutching a comic book.

On its cover,

was a human with wings, facing a tide of millions of demons alone, seen from behind.

The passengers inside the carriage were also dumbfounded.

In this moment of despair, the appearance of this figure undoubtedly gave everyone a shot of adrenaline.

"That's... the Long Xu Ban badge?!"

A sharp-eyed passenger cried out in shock.

"It really is the Long Xu Ban! The five-clawed golden dragon badge, no mistake!"

"Heavens, there's actually a prodigy of the Long Xu Ban on our carriage! Great, we're saved!"

However, voices of worry soon spread through the crowd.

"But... the Long Xu Ban are just first-year students, right? They're probably only around level 20 at most."

"Yeah, there are thousands of demons outside. Can he... hold them off?"

"Th-this... so, it's over, wife, I love you..."

The hope that had just ignited was doused significantly.

That figure, though handsome, appeared so thin and insignificant before the vast tide of beasts.

At this moment, atop the carriage roof.

Han Mengyao's long spear moved like a dragon, instantly piercing two demon wolves attempting to ambush her.

Beside her, Chu Lingxuan held a shield, emitting a soft Jin Guang from her body, repeatedly blocking fatal attacks for Han Mengyao.

"Sister Mengyao, watch out on the left!"

Chu Lingxuan shouted, raising her shield to charge, knocking a lunging demon away.

Though the two coordinated well, the demons were already formidable under attribute buffs, and their numbers were considerable.

"Damn... if this continues, we'll be worn to death."

Han Mengyao panted heavily, casually pulling out a bottle of mana potion and downing it.

Suddenly.

The surrounding demons all stopped.

"Roar—!!"

The demons let out a series of roars, spread their wings to soar high, and gazed intently in the same direction.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chu Lingxuan looked utterly bewildered.

Han Mengyao, however, felt a stir in her heart and suddenly thought of something.

Only her younger sister, Han Mengqing, could make so many demons shift their hatred simultaneously.

She turned her head to look.

In the sky, a figure stood proudly.

Those wings burning with Xiong Xiong flames were especially glaring.

"Blazing Wind Wings?"

Han Mengyao recognized this skill at a glance.

It was an intermediate-tier fire skill, capable of granting a mage the ability to fly and engage in aerial combat.

"Worthy of being number one on the leaderboard — of course you know an intermediate skill."

"Looks like it… Lin Mo, are you a fire mage? Then let me see just how much substance the top of the leaderboard really has."

Han Mengyao tightened her grip on the long spear in her hand.

"Lingxuan! Let's go help him!"

"Mm!"

Chu Lingxuan also reacted and nodded heavily.

The two leapt straight off the train roof and sprinted toward where Lin Mo was.

And at the other end of the train roof.

Beside that torn-open great hole, Han Mengqing was clinging to the edge, poking out a little pink head.

The gale whipped her twin ponytails into disarray.

She stared fixedly at Lin Mo in midair.

"So cool… Big Brother Number One on the Leaderboard, so cool it's killing me! This Young Lady is coming to help you right now!"

The next instant, Han Mengqing suddenly leapt onto the train roof and jumped down.

……

Midair.

Lin Mo looked around.

A dense, sky-blotting horde of monsters.

Countless pairs of crimson eyes stared fixedly at him, low roars rumbling from their throats.

The sight was as if Lin Mo had just dug up their ancestors' graves.

"Good, good, good…"

Lin Mo looked at the scene and couldn't help laughing out of sheer exasperation.

"No wonder your sister absolutely refuses to let you support."

"No wonder you guys' levels can actually be as high as mine — it's all because of this BUFF, isn't it?"

A one-kilometer-radius forced taunt.

This thing, if used for normal grinding, would absolutely be a god-tier skill — efficiency through the roof.

But in a situation like this, facing a massive beast tide…

Without enough strength, it's no different from seeking death.

【【Earth Shield】 looked at the monsters blanketing the sky around it, its voice trembling in fear: M-Master! How about we run for it?】

【【Fireball】 cackled wildly: Run? Why run? So much experience — why would we run?】

【【Fireball】 turned its head toward 【Lightning Strike】 and bellowed: Third Brother, what's the use of high single-target damage? Area damage is the true way! Let me show you what real destruction looks like!】

【【Lightning Strike】 flickered faintly: Childish.】

Lin Mo drew a deep breath.

His gaze swept over the carriage below, packed full of civilians.

If he really did run, using Earth Shield's burrowing ability would indeed give him the best chance of surviving.

But once the aggro was lost, these tens of thousands of frenzied monsters would instantly engulf the train.

Every old man, woman, and child in this carriage would, in the blink of an eye, become the monsters' food.

"I'm no savior, but I also can't bring myself to stand by and watch my own kind be slaughtered."

Lin Mo said in a low voice, his gaze sharp.

"Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, Xiao Tu — let's go all out on them!!"

【【Fireball】 was instantly ignited, flames shooting skyward: Go all out! Go all out! This one will burn them all to ash!】

【【Lightning Strike】, rarely showing a sliver of interest: Now that's more like it…】

【【Earth Shield】 let out a despairing shriek: Nooo!! Master, don't!! It's too dangerous!!】
