Chapter 725: Chapter 422: The Return of the Welfare Institute’s Powerhouse_2

"Director, it seems like I’m also ignited!"

The somewhat bald but many times stronger Instructor Li had flames burning in his eyes as well.

Fang You glanced at him, "You just... forget it, come and back me up."

He wasn’t at ease with these fresh-faced recruits setting foot on the battlefield for the first time without one or two mythical beings to watch over them.

But if they could survive a few major battles, they would quickly grow.

Not just in terms of psychological and experiential growth, but in rank as well.

"However, our Institute also carries the duty to save the surrounding disaster-stricken people. Once the first wave of the assault is over, you’ll need to lead some instructors and students to strike back proactively. I’ll give you two Blades of Radiance."

"Yes, sir! Director! My sword is already itching for action!"

...

Flying Dawn City, East District Six.

Dozens of figures were streaking low across the sky.

"Damn, the skies are full of stains, and there are plenty on the ground spreading about, forcing us to detour everywhere."

A youth in a red cape wielding a greatsword slashed through hundreds of Mysterious Evils.

He was the captain of the Red Maple Special Operations Squad directly under the City Lord’s mansion.

A prodigy of mythic status!

But even he was extremely wary of the omnipresent stains; he dared not charge through recklessly but had to keep detouring, which meant he still hadn’t reached his mission’s destination.

"The City Lord tasked us to head to Sunlight Welfare Institute to protect it and use it as a base to rescue the surrounding disaster-stricken people, but with the situation now..."

He worried that by the time he arrived at Sunlight Welfare Institute, it would have already been breached by the Mysterious Evil.

Sunlight Welfare Institute indeed had a very sophisticated defense system, but aside from the older children, there were only a handful of instructors. How could they possibly hold out?

And while the defense system was protective, it also acted like a beacon fire in the Darkness, attracting Mysterious Evils non-stop.

The Flying Dawn Commerce outpost they just passed by was currently under assault by the Evil Tide.

Otherwise, why would the City Lord send him to Sunlight Welfare Institute as the first reinforcement? Even the elite Red Maple Squad was just the first wave of reinforcements, with second and third waves of warriors about to set out for Sunlight.

"Faster! Faster! Even faster!"

Left turn, right turn, another turn.

When the destination was almost within reach, more than twenty minutes had slipped away, and the Red Maple Captain’s heart grew cold. "I hope Sunlight is alright, that their defense system holds up."

"There it is!"

Golden radiance poured down, dispersing the darkness invading from all directions.

The white light barrier stood like a high wall, enveloping the sprawling Sunlight Welfare Institute within it.

The Red Maple Captain heaved a sigh of relief.

"Not too late. Next, it’s our turn to go on the offensive... Huh?"

The white light barrier gradually dissipated.

But it wasn’t shattered by the Evil Tide; rather...

Several teams, each dozens of people strong, burst out from the opening barrier, slicing up the relatively sparse Evil Tide that had been laying siege to the Institute.

They also ran headlong into the Red Maple Special Operation Squad arriving on the scene.

Both groups looked each other in the eye.

Red Maple Captain: "?"

Wasn’t this a bit different from the situation described by the City Lord?

...

"The students from your Institute are impressive!"

Since Sunlight Welfare Institute didn’t require reinforcements for the time being, the Red Maple Captain joined in the efforts to save the surrounding disaster-stricken people.

He also got to see the superlatively talented students of the Sunlight Welfare Institute as rumored.

In just two years they had trained a whole batch of kids to Third Awakening, and some geniuses were even at Fourth Awakening, not quite human, with extraordinary combat abilities!

Is this the level of teaching and training at Sunlight?

"No wonder Sunlight was rated as a top welfare institute after just one assessment; there were some myths that there was something fishy inside, but it seems they were just blind to the truth!

"Though, had I not seen it with my own eyes, I’d indeed find it hard to believe that Director Fang, after taking over the Institute, could bring such a transformative change to Sunlight.

"Director Fang, truly a celestial being!"

"You got that right! My Director is second to none!"

Instructor Li couldn’t help but nod.

As long as you praise our Director, we’ll be friends.

No, wrong – how could praising the Director be considered mere talk? The Director truly is a figure from heaven.

"However, I never expected that the blight would erupt right here in Flying Dawn City, making it somewhat troublesome."

Red Maple was a direct subordinate of the Dusty Yonder Demigod and had access to far more information than the average deity.

This disaster, like the one blighting Flying Dawn City and turning it into a Death Domain, was not unique; there were more than one or two cities affected.

If it were only Flying Dawn City, the Empire could easily suppress the calamity with its power.

But if disasters were erupting across the Empire, that would be... rather bad.

The reinforcements are limited.

Moreover,

"Our Flying Dawn City is now cut off from the outside world; communications are difficult, and it’s tough to get in or out. At least, the vast majority of the people in Flying Dawn City can’t leave."

Even using a White Shark-class airship would be difficult.

Because dense stains surround the city!

Single deities might slip through, but something as huge as an airship, no way!

"We’ll have to hold out for another period of time."

...

Outside Flying Dawn City, while the majority of the Empire had not yet been affected by the disaster, it, too, had fallen into panic.

The Dark Day marked the beginning of a catastrophe for the Candela Empire.

And the cities enveloped by the Death Domain had already begun to fall, sinking into the Darkness.
