Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

Yinmao Building.

The blood-red alert had been in effect for half an hour, and the most bustling and towering building in Bo City was already deserted. Everyone was following the security personnel who appeared out of nowhere toward the safe zone.

Although the alarm was sounded very early, not everyone evacuated immediately.

The basement of the Yinmao Building.

Order remained intact, with a guard squad stationed here, protecting the tightly closed gate behind them, but the situation was not good.

At this moment, the underground space was filled with signs of battle, and corpses reeking of blood were scattered near the deep, dark cave entrance in the distance.

It was the work of giant-eyed, bloody rats; it's hard to imagine how many such holes they dug in the city.

Yes, that's right.

The guardian mages protecting the sacred spring were also attacked by demons.

Half an hour earlier, the moment the disaster broke out, Liang Bin and his companions had already been attacked by demons one after another.

Fortunately, the attacking demons were mostly low-level Giant-Eyed Blood Rat, so with Liang Bin there, it wasn't too difficult.

Out of caution, Liang Bin still sent out a distress signal, but no one responded for a long time.

Liang Bin then suspected that the problem was on the surface, so while they were guarding against the giant-eyed rats that kept emerging from various underground tunnels, he sent Lin Yuxin to investigate the situation.

Lin Yuxin finally returned, but her expression was not good; she looked stern.

Soon, everyone learned about the situation outside.

Crimson Alert, Wolves Siege the City.

Outside the city, the main force of the Bo City military was fighting against the Demon Wolf Tribe; inside the city, a large number of demons ignored the security boundary and attacked the evacuating masses.

Upon hearing this news, Liang Bin's heart clenched. He couldn't imagine how an ordinary person, completely powerless, could withstand the attack of demons.
Among them might even be his wife and children.

Fortunately, Lin Yuxin's next words relieved him a little.

Under the direction of the safety officers who appeared out of nowhere, the vast majority of people evacuated in an orderly manner. Even the demons that suddenly appeared were easily dealt with by the powerful safety officers.

The route the crowd evacuated was exactly the same evacuation drill route given by the Magic College Entrance Examination Inspection Team two weeks ago.

At the time, this route, which everyone questioned, unexpectedly saved countless lives. It's unimaginable how many people would have perished if the crowd had been allowed to scatter and flee from the beginning.

But it's no wonder that others have doubts.

After all, to execute this evacuation route, a large number of powerful mages are needed to cover it up, and clearly, Bo City does not have such resources.

Liang Bin's intuition told him that the Magic College Entrance Examination Investigation Team seemed to know something in advance; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the presence of so many powerful security personnel in Bo City.

But now is not the time for him to think about these issues, because the number of demons attacking the Holy Spring is increasing.

Liang Bin asked, "Did the Black Vatican come for the Holy Spring? Or for something else?"

Lin Yuxin nodded: "Yes. They are after the Earthly Sacred Spring. Almost all the demons underground are intentionally or unintentionally moving towards the Earthly Sacred Spring. We must rely on ourselves to hold out until the moment of support."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bin's eyes hardened.

“As long as I am alive, no demon can cross this stone gate.”

But before he could finish speaking, a dramatic change occurred.

"Boom!"

A violent tremor and roar came from behind the left stone wall, so loud that the entire ground was shaking.

Before Liang Bin could react, the stone wall suddenly cracked and shattered in an instant.

A huge black shadow shot out from it, rushing straight towards Liang Bin, its sharp claws suddenly slamming down!
With a muffled groan, Liang Bin was sent flying backward, and the uninvited guest was finally fully revealed. It was a monster the size of a small truck!

The monster's neck and head were indistinguishable, but its giant rat body was unmistakable. Unlike the giant-eyed gorilla rat, this monster was covered in incredibly ferocious blood patterns, twisted and densely packed, making this giant rat, which was the size of a small truck, even more terrifying!
This……

This is!

In an instant, Lin Yuxin identified the type of creature: the giant rat covered in blood-red markings was a Blood-Striped Giant Rat that had reached the level of a War General!

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat's eyes were bloodshot, and it sniffed the air as if it had caught Yunze's scent, its eyes filled with deep greed.

His gaze swept over the group of mages as if he were looking at prey that was within easy reach.

But before the Blood-Striped Troll Rat could make a move, suddenly, an ice lock lashed out at the Blood-Striped Troll Rat, the attack fierce.

With its agile movements and innate sense of smell, the Blood-Striped Troll Rat dodged the attack. Then, looking up angrily, it saw that the person who had attacked was none other than Liang Bin, who had just been knocked away.

Liang Bin barely managed to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and dispelled the shield magic tool he had temporarily summoned.

That was one of his few magical artifacts, and it was destroyed by a casual attack from the Blood-Patterned Troll Rat.

The sudden appearance of the general-level demon instantly disrupted the battle situation in the entire underground space.

The guarding mages looked ashen-faced.

It's unimaginable how bloody and ferocious a Bloodstained Giant Rat of the Warrior level must have been in this already cramped space.

Ice-blue stars reappeared on Liang Bin's body, and his voice rang out at the same time.

"Deputy Chief of the Guard, I'll hold the line for a bit. You take the Holy Spring and the child and leave. We absolutely cannot let the Black Vatican get the Holy Spring."

Hearing this, Lin Yuxin was filled with reluctance.

But she knew it was the only option.

Liang Bin is the strongest, and only he can withstand the current situation. Lin Yuxin is one of only two mid-level mages, and only she can lead Mo Fan and the Earthly Holy Spring to escape.

The thought that her younger sister had also died because of the Black Vatican made Lin Yuxin no longer hesitate, and she gave a strong "hmm".

Liang Bin and his numerous guards had already formed a battle formation, blocking Lin Yuxin's path.

Knowing that time was of the essence, Lin Yuxin hurriedly turned on the stone door switch, and with a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.

Coincidentally, Mo Fan, who had just finished his cultivation, was standing in front of the door. He was wondering what was going on outside when he and Lin Yuxin made eye contact.

Mo Fan glanced at the situation outside and subconsciously exclaimed "Holy crap!"

Lin Yuxin rushed in and was about to close the stone door when the Blood-Patterned Giant Rat moved. It hissed and slapped its sharp claws towards the inside of the stone door.

Liang Bin tried to stop him, but in such a confined space, the Blood-Patterned Giant Rat swatted him away with a single claw. If it weren't for Shui Yu's presence, Liang Bin would have lost his fighting ability on the spot.

Others gritted their teeth and prepared to stop them, but everyone knew that if they did, some of them might not see the sun rise tomorrow.

But some people still stepped forward.

The guard, his face resolute, stepped onto the wind rails and blocked the Blood-Striped Troll Rat's path. The Blood-Striped Troll Rat didn't even glance at him, and charged straight at him.

To it, a mere novice human was no different from a speed bump.

At this critical moment, the oppressive underground space suddenly darkened, and the Blood-Patterned Troll Rat seemed to be frozen in place by a spell.

The next second, a beautiful woman appeared out of thin air, blending seamlessly with her surroundings, as if she were part of the shadows.

With a gentle lift of her hand, the beautiful woman slammed the charging, ferocious Blood-Striped Troll Rat to the ground.

"Hiss!!!"
