Versatile Mage Chapter 2771 - Deputy Royal Guard

Chapter 2771: Deputy Royal Guard

The silver river flowed to the center of the city through steep mountain rocks. The water flowed gently down. It was so clean that one could clearly see the bottom of the bank that had been scrubbed smooth by the flow of water.

Ye Mei stood at the top of the waterfall. The fog had dispersed. There was less movement now in the city below her.

Even though Pang Lai had given his order, Ye Mei could not stop herself from heading toward the city.

The Squid King was a powerful Ruler-level Ocean Demon. Even the powerful Night Rakshasa was no match for it. Ye Mei did not want any of her team members to die, including the young mage whom they had met halfway through.

Two crimson figures flashed by the jagged edges of the waterfall. Ye Mei noticed some movement from the corner of her eye, including the moving vines after the breeze blew past, the splas.h.i.+ng of water, the falling of leaves…

Ye Mei saw that everything was back to normal. She wondered if her mind had been playing tricks on her.

As an Apex-grade mage, Ye Mei would not overlook even a single misconception.

She fixed her gaze at the area where the leaves had fallen. A piece of sh.e.l.l-like rock was stuck between the steep slope, as if it could roll down with the slow flow of the waterfall at any moment.

“Splas.h.!.+”

Suddenly, a crimson rat-like figure sprang up from the area where the waterfall met the ground. The figure looked as if it had become invisible under the shade.

Most people could not detect its presence with their usual sensory organs. They would have mistaken it for a splash of water. They could not identify it because there was no sound or vibration in the air. They could not see it with their naked eyes. They only became aware of it when they felt the dampness and the coldness.

Ye Mei turned around and stared at the Ocean Demon. She held a flower vine and flung it at the crimson figure. The flower vine produced more thorns as it darted at the crimson figure and fired its thorns like a rainstorm.

The crimson figure reversed its direction in the mid-air to escape. However, the flower vines densely covered with thorns struck it. The thorns pierced its body. It looked like a rotten persimmon before falling to the ground.

Ye Mei heard another strange cry. She looked up and saw a crimson Hunter Dirty Demon appear at the position of the Aquarius Magic Formation.

She frowned. She was about to return to the bottom of the Aquarius Magic Formation when several crimson Hunter Dirty Demons appeared on both sides of the trees. They were aware that they were no match for Ye Mei, hence they swarmed at her to stall for time.

“s.h.i.+fting flowers for wood!” Ye Mei shouted.

When the crimson Hunter Dirty Demons charged at Ye Mei, her tall and slim figure transformed into a slender flower vine. When she came in contact with the Hunter Dirty Demons, the flower vine encircled them and produced flower blades, forming a razor-sharp storm.

The four Hunter Dirty Demons were killed in the blink of an eye. Their blood splashed in the blue-silver river.

The flower vine on top of the waterfall transformed into a human again. Then, she began to walk towards the waterfall.

“Go to h.e.l.l!” Ye Mei returned to the highest point of the waterfall. Her palm had transformed into a blade and she stabbed at the Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon that attempted to destroy the Aquarius Magic Formation.

Countless vines entwined her arms as they extended from her palm and transformed into a long spear.

She pierced the Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon’s head with her sharp spear. The cunning Hunter Dirty Demon was terrifying. Even though its head had been penetrated by Ye Mei’s spear, it kept attacking her. It spread its claws and tried to attack her chest, going for her heart!

Ye Mei remained indifferent. She moved her finger slightly. Many long and sharp thorns grew rapidly from other parts of the spear and pierced the Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon…

Even so, the Hunter Dirty Demon still approached her with its claws. Ye Mei glowed in white light, and she was protected in a pure white Ice Armor. A piercing sound was heard before Ye Mei retreated dozens of meters away, making a big splash in the river above the waterfall.

The Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon was terrifying. Even though its head and body had been severely injured, it continued to attack brutally. It decided to perish together with its enemy. Ye Mei had never expected to confront such a pesky Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon where she was forced to use her magical equipment to defend herself.

Even a low-level Ruler Hunter Dirty Demon was that wicked, let alone the strongest Ruler-level Hunter Dirty Demon. Ye Mei had used her power—s.h.i.+fting flowers for wood. Even if she rushed to the city center, she would not be able to return on time if another Hunter Dirty Demon tried to destroy the Aquarius Magic Formation.

‘That’s weird, where’s the Squid King?’ Ye Mei noticed there was not much movement in the city below her. The Squid King was enormous, it could not possibly be so quiet.

Ye Mei carefully scanned her surroundings, still she did not see the Squid King. Instead, she saw Night Rakshasa leaping on top of the buildings. Whenever there was a flash of bone-chilling light, a gush of blood splashed on the building walls.

Ye Mei was puzzled. She noticed a figure moving quickly and soon appeared before her from the slope of the waterfall.

“Why did you come here?” Ye Mei asked coolly.

“I saw a bunch of Hunter Dirty Demons heading here. I’m afraid you can’t take on them alone. After all, you’re the key in this Aquarius Magic Formation and the Ocean Demons seemed to have noticed this,” Mo Fan said calmly as he stared at the strict and not-so-friendly older sister before him.

He noticed many Hunter Dirty Demons carca.s.ses on the ground. One of them wasRuler level. Mo Fan was surprised.

He had taken only a short time to reach here. Even though there was no Commander-level Hunter Dirty Demon, the fact that Ye Mei could slaughter all the Hunter Dirty Demons including a low-level Ruler meant that she was very powerful.

Ye Mei found Mo Fan’s words hilarious. ‘I can’t take them on alone?’

She was a Deputy Royal Guard, as well as a top-notch mage at the Imperial Capital. Why would she need a young mage’s help?

“Ask Jiang Yu and Night Rakshasa to remain on their guards,” said Ye Mei as she walked away.

“Where are you going?” Mo Fan asked.

“I’m going to kill the Squid King,” said Ye Mei.

“It’s dead,” said Mo Fan.

“Nonsense! Do you really think the Squid King is a useless Ocean Demon that simply bluffs about its strength?” said Ye Mei.

“Look! It’s freshly roasted and it’s still hot. Do you want to take a bite?” said Mo Fan as he extended a huge roasted piece of meat towards her.

He had saved that piece for the Green East Sea G.o.d.
