"Assemble everyone! Let's make this last sacrifice worthy to our children!" the principal said to the adult people

"Bring every resident with us! This is only a one time try and we need to do it quickly! Cai Er cannot hold on anymore!" the principal added

"YES!" everyone responded and left quickly, they need to this fast, time was not on their side, they need to do this with no problems or else!

=====

Liu was very confused why is still Ai not waking up, he had already checked the mana flow, but there were no problems there.

He had been carrying Ai for a while on his back, he was not suited to this briskly job at all, he wasn't even accustomed to lifting heavy things,

He wanted Ai to wake up, he can't take it anymore he was really exhausted.

But Ai woke up,

"wuuaaaaahhh" he was yawning

"huh? what? where?" Ai was surprised on what he saw he wasn't at his usual bed or sleeping place but in someone's back and this person is clearly getting slow by the time.

Then this person stopped at the tree, and he put him down.

"Liu?" Ai asked

"Y-your'e awake! thank god, your'e awake! Do you know what troubles I was facing, when I was carrying you?!" Liu lashed out

"Oh, I'm sorry I was talking on the elements and they were speaking to me, they introduced theirselves to me and I introduced myself to them, " he was scratching his head in awkwardness, he didn't thought that little chat with the four elements would bring difficulty to his brother.

"But why were you carrying me? You should've let me sleep in the house right?" Ai was more confused.

"You were asleep and many things happened ... " Liu narrated everything that happened while he was still sleeping

Fuck Heavens, MAMA Buddha

' My little chat with those elements would already killed me, if not for Liu!' he realized how important one was to make a schedule to these kinds of things. Next time when he will talk to the elements he would make sure that there are no problems or rather he is in a safe location. So that he won't be in danger.

"The-then this red barrier is not safe to cross out?" Ai asked Liu

"Im really impressed on how you think things through, obviously it is not safe because this magic is from the enemy clearly saying that anyone who cross this barrier would die!" Liu said with disdain to Ai

The two were walking after Liu had a rest,

boom! boom! boom!

Liu and Ai heard defeaning shockwaves,

"Sea Empress Armour! Activate!"

The duo heard the spell casted by Cai Er, it shockwaves was strong enough to make them kneel already, to avoid being hit by the rampaging energies they hide towards the garden at the back of the school, this location was far from where the fight is going on.

But still everything that would happen their would still be visible, using the water magnifier, they watched the battle of the beast and a woman, Ai was surprised,

Strong! Very strong!

"IS that a MAGE!?" Ai asked with his exhilarating feeling,

"That is a combat mage, mages that can use weapons like that are labeled as combat mage because they can use martial arts and magic, they are special in the division on the field of magic, naturally magicians would always meditate and master skills to their life, but in return they neglect their physical strength, they have weak limpy bodies. That's why the combat mage division emerged to battle beasts, demons and other brawlers in a hand to hand combat." Liu educated Ai in this matter, Liu didn't expect to see a combat mage in this remote town, normally these mages are employed in the entrances of demon gates, entrances of the magical beasts forests, guard the royal magic continent.

While the duo was having a teacher and a student talk, they heard a telepathic voice coming from their minds.

All students were summoned at the back of the school, in the garden.

'In here!?" the duo looked to each other they smiled, they picked the right location to hide, now they only had to wait

====

The search for the survivors or we could say the remaining of those who are not yet dead and those who had not escaped from the grasp of the barrier.

The people was efficient in finding them.

They used an information network using principal as the medium and made their way very quickly, but for the principal activating this skill of his would worn him out, and would have a toll on his old body, but he grit his teeth. His body's mana maybe the most largest the in Mu village, but it can't sustain the absorption rate of the skill, thus he decided to use his life essence to supply the skill..

Life essence is a part of your life, they are the concentration of your ideals and experiences, using this essence would make you mind forget those things that were very important to you, especially the knowledge about mana, and it also sucks life-base in your body.

Life-base is the years that you are allowed to leave, gambling everything he has, Principal was not sad nor angry he was feeling ecstasy!

The feeling of helping others through sacrificing your life! Righteousness and Justice! the very essence of being a magician,

------

In a matter of minutes the so called little army now had a population of 4 000 people, seeing this, the adults couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

They wished that majority of the people would've escape, not killed. They hoped for it.

Still many different situation could be seen there, there were some who found their children and parents, and there were some who was weeping, their child or their mother or father wasn't there in the crowd,

Clearly saying they didn't make it.

"Everyone! We the adults have a mission to us given by the envoy, thus all youngsters are not allowed to participate in this matter, you are ordered to only stand by the side and when you are called you must without any further ado, follow our rules!"

"The Mission for us is to make a hole in the Magical Barrier, we already found the weak spot, and it had been already 7 minutes since discovered, clearly giving us 8 minutes to break a hole!"

To make a hole in this barrier we adults are required to maintain the small exit, after you passed through we will go out immediately! Thus no one is allowed to be hard-headed! time waits for no one!

"Teacher what about the envoy? isn't he strong?" a student asked clearly not knowing that the envoy was a female.

"The envoy is fighting the demon, do you think we would effort ourselves to gather you if we know that the envoy can save us. ? The teacher was clearly angry to the student, the didn't know that the envoy had already put her life in stakes just to save this children and yet they would make her as a shield?

"That's enough" The principal waved is hands and signaled all the adults to form their formations to make a gap in the barrier

6 minutes left

The parents held each others and and touch the barrier, they focused their mana at the weak point.

Everyone already knew the instructions, according to the principal they would hide that fact that they would sacrifice theirselves to make the children escape because if the youngsters new that they would do a suicide mission then these children would go down with them!

They would coat it with saying that they will be following after every student gone out,

Sckkssshshhhh

A rift was open after the effort of the teachers and parents'

"GO!" The principal made a signal

The students who were very scared ran out, they knew they didn't have much time as opening the rift already cost them 4 minutes. Everyone of them ran to make time for their parents go out.

But since the rift could only be passed by 3 person each time they had to push others to make it faster!

1 minute every child was out including Ai and Liu, they were in the front so they were already outside earlier.

"Principal We are all out! please go out now! we only have a nick of a second!" a teen age girl shouted after confirming that every student and children had already been out,

She was tasked as the one who would see the students if they are all already out.

But the adults didn't move, they stayed and everyone of them was crying, their tears was like a fountain flowing all the way to the ground

"Go on, Live my child, avenge your parents of this catastrophe, we cannot leave" the mother forced a smile and with tears flowing in her eyes,

"Lin Er, live and reach your dreams, make daddy proud and your mom smile!" a father shouted at his daughter

"Kin Shin, I'm sorry that I was not a good father to you and I have been neglecting my responsibilities to care for you, but please do not be like me, treasure your life, I always love you my son, as your mother would always love you when she was still alive," an old father said to a boy outside

"Mei Mei, mother had been always a strict parent to you, but it was for your own self, I didn't want you to be a rebellious child and I wanted you to reach the dreams I didn't reached, but now mother is leaving, please don't be a bad child okay? I love you very much, goodbye" A mother cried and said to her daughter

The parents were saying their last goodbyes to their children, and the energy in the barrier suddenly shuddered.

Hing! Hing!

The rift was now nowhere to be seen and many were turned into minced meat after meeting the rampaging energy, they used their bodies to make a rift and support the rift, many of them were already having their bodies corroded but they hid it after their children went out, they cannot let this young ones to see them suffer.

They wanted them to see them as heroes of their life

They were like valiant warriors standing infront of the danger without backing up
