“Guard the breaches, don’t let any of the demons rush in!” The institute director was covered with blood but did not hesitate to issue commands. The various tutors immediately swung into action.
The tutor from the school of terminators clenched his fists and summoned his flying mount at the last moment!
He suddenly swung himself onto his flying mount and charged towards the largest breach!
“Give me the Petrification Medicine!” he roared loudly.
The tutor from the school of pharmacy was shocked, but instantly threw a bottle of Petrification Medicine to him.
When the tutor had obtained the Petrification Medicine, his hand that held the reins clenched tightly.
“I’m sorry…” He murmured. The flying mount did not understand its master’s meaning and only obeyed its master’s directions as usual.
At the moment that they approached reached the breach, the tutor pulled on the reins. He used his huge flying mount to stop the gap. In that instant, the approaching demons were obstructed and they wildly bit the flying mount’s flesh. Its blood gushed out like water.
“Open your mouth!” The tutor shouted through tightly gritted teeth.
The flying mount was gasping and vomiting blood, but when it heard the command, it opened its mouth as always.
He poured the entire bottle of Petrification Medicine into its mouth. The moment the medicine entered its throat, the gleam in the flying mount’s eyes faded. Every feather, every inch of skin, and every piece of flesh was petrified in an instant…
In the end, it became a huge stone that looked like a statue, and blocked the breach.
The tutor watched as the flying mount that had shared weal and woe with him for many years was changed into an immutable stone statue by his own hands. In that moment, he broke down completely. He jumped down from the stone statue as if he had gone berserk, the long sword in his hand swinging wildly at the demons who were pouncing on him.
I’m sorry… that in the end, I had to sacrifice you like that.
Allow me to… enter my eternal rest here with you…
The demons bit through the tutor’s carotid artery and with a final roar, he collapsed by the side of the stone statue of his flying mount. Until the last moment, his eyes never left his old companion and faithful friend… Until… a demon demolished him, leaving only a puddle of minced meat and some blood…
The capital institute’s largest breach had been blocked, leaving only a few small corners through which the smaller demons could crawl.
There was no time for them to grieve. A larger problem stood in the way of their survival.
There were eighteen breaches throughout the capital institute.
However, the petrification medicine… was supreme grade medicine. There were only three or four bottles of it in the entire capital institute.
The tutors from the school of terminators summoned their own mounts and chose a suicidal charge, using their own mounts to block a few of the breaches. They themselves remained eternally by the side of their mounts.
To neither leave, nor forsake.
Once the biggest breaches were blocked, the number of demons in the institute declined sharply. The institute director allowed the various schools to distribute their manpower to defend each breach to the death.
The students from the school of sorcery poured bottle after bottle of Demon Retreating Medicine into their mouths, then used Frost Spells to slowly block the breaches. The youths from the other schools stood guard next to them, preventing any demons from attacking them.
Ji Fengyan stepped on her flying sword and repeatedly summoned the Five-Blow-Thunderstruck to encircle the demons and prevent them from attacking. However, when she saw the large breaches, her heart sank. She found the last few beans in her Space Soul Jade, cut her wrist, and soaked the beans in her fresh blood. Then she scattered them around three of the breaches…
