Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 23 Emperor?

The psychic mage is quite difficult to deal with. His strange psychic magic can interrupt the opponent's star track connection, making it impossible for the opponent to release magic!
But it’s a different story for close-range psychic mages.

The magic shoe on Lin Ming's leg kicked Jiang Shaoxu without any mercy, kicking her directly out, and then she hit the tree and fainted.

Without hesitation, Lin Ming carried Jiang Shaoxu and left immediately.

After finding a cave and putting her down, Lin Ming began to think about what had just happened.

"It should be a mind-controlling demon. But Jiang Shaoxu is a mid-level mage specializing in psychic magic. His mental strength must be quite strong. How could he be controlled? Is it a commander-level demon?"

Lin Ming frowned slightly. If it really was a commander-level mind-controlled demon, it would probably be difficult to get through!

"But it only controlled Jiang Shaoxu, not me. There must be some kind of restriction."

And the military mages who came in earlier probably also died here.

At this moment, a groan came into Lin Ming's ears.

Lin Ming looked over when he heard the sound and found that Jiang Shaoxu's eyelids were twitching slightly, and it seemed that he was about to wake up.

The flame in his hand slowly ignited, and he frowned as he looked at Jiang Shaoxu who began to move.

Just now, Jiang Shaoxu was under mental control, and Lin Ming simply used brute force to knock her out and bring her back. He had no way of confirming whether Jiang Shaoxu was still under control.

"Well, here it is."

Jiang Shaoxu covered his head uncomfortably, then sat up with difficulty.

"woke up?"

After hearing Jiang Shaoxu's words, Lin Ming was roughly sure that she had escaped the demon's mental control, so he asked.

"What the hell did I just do?! Why does my whole body hurt?!"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lin Ming, his eyes full of confusion, but suddenly he felt severe pain all over his body, especially in his stomach and the back of his head.

"I did."

Lin Ming looked at her seriously.

The situation just now was critical and he didn't have time to think too much. He used all his strength in that kick. After all, a mage's body is stronger than that of an ordinary person. It is not so easy for him to faint or get into trouble!
"Why are you so honest?"

Jiang Shaoxu complained, holding the back of his head.

However, she quickly recalled the situation at that time. She was mentally controlled by the demon and then cast a spell on Lin Ming.

She said to Lin Mingdao helplessly
"Thank you."

It's a bit stingy to say thank you after getting beaten.

"It's okay, it should be."

Lin Ming nodded, and then said

"So can you recall the situation when you were controlled?"

“The Circumstances at That Time”

Jiang Shaoxu frowned slightly, lowered his head and began to think.

"I saw a colorful little butterfly and subconsciously wanted to get closer, but as soon as I got closer, the butterfly suddenly accelerated and flew towards my face! I saw the pattern on its body! A pattern that looked very similar to eyes!"

Jiang Shaoxu suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Ming in surprise.

"I remember now! This is the Phantom Flock! The Phantom Flock my brother mentioned in his notes!"

"Phantom Butterflies? What is that?"

Lin Ming frowned and looked at Jiang Shaoxu with some confusion.

After all, he had been away from school for two years and had spent almost all his time on cultivation. He had only learned knowledge about forging and demons. However, he had basically only learned about some of the more common demons in the world. This was the first time he had heard of the Phantom Butterflies!
"This is the monster in my brother's notebook! He was the one who came up with the name "Phantom Butterflies". Before, there wasn't even any information about this monster in the human world!" Jiang Shaoxu took out a notebook from his space ring and quickly turned to the page!
The page depicted a group of flying butterflies, and in the middle of the butterflies was a huge object that looked like a cocoon.

"I'll call them the Phantom Butterflies, a type of social demon with eye-like patterns on their wings. Each Phantom Butterfly isn't very powerful, mostly just at the level of a servant. However, their mental power is surprisingly strong, surpassing even that of high-level mages! This demon's range of activity isn't very large, but it seems to possess the ability to control other creatures. Many different types of feathered demons surround them and help them obtain food."

Jiang Shaoxu pointed at the words on the notebook with his jade-like fingers and read them out loud. He became more and more excited as he read!

Sure enough! It's this place! My brother has been here too!

"The giant cocoon in the middle seems to be a conscious being! It seems to be nurturing some terrifying life!"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at the line of words below.

"So, did your brother say anything about how to deal with this demon?"

Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu was getting more and more excited, Lin Ming immediately interrupted him.

"Oh, oh, let me see."

Jiang Shaoxu immediately flipped through a few more pages, then carefully read the words on the notebook.
"Warning! This demon is extremely terrifying! Their spiritual powers seem to be connected to each other! Even connected to the huge cocoon in the center! I tried to invade their spiritual realm, but I saw a huge eye, an extremely terrifying eye! I have been warned, the power of this demon is beyond imagination! In fact, it is even possible that it is an existence that surpasses the monarch!"

"But it seemed to be in a strange state and didn't attack me, so I decisively stayed away from here!"

"Transcend. Monarch!"

Jiang Shaoxu was stunned while talking, then he looked up at Lin Ming.

"An existence beyond the monarch level! Why don't we just go? It's just a little further away at best."

But at this time, Lin Ming just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid not."

"why?"

Jiang Shaoxu asked doubtfully.

This is an existence beyond the monarch! Are they really going to rely on two mere mid-level mages to solve it?

"If I'm not mistaken, the military mages probably fell here. We have to go get the formation plate back."

Lin Ming shook his head.

"Can it really be done?"

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Lin Ming and slowly asked a question.

That's a demon beyond the monarch level! How could they possibly deal with it?

Even if, even if her brother was wrong, they were still a group of mind-controlling monsters with commander-level mental power!
Is it possible for these two mid-level mages to deal with it?

For a moment, silence spread in the cave.

"There's still a chance," Lin Ming said with a smile. "Besides, I'm just guessing. Maybe the military mages are taking a different path?"

Will emperor-level demons appear in the lower area of ​​the Qinling Mountains?
He remains skeptical for now.

It’s not certain whether the strongest Yu Huang in Qinling is an emperor, and an emperor-level demon suddenly appears on the way?

This probability is even smaller than the earth exploding in the next second!

Besides, even if he is the emperor, he has to take out the formation plate!
"I'll go take a look."

Lin Ming said to Jiang Shaoxu who was still sitting on the ground.

He waved his hand with his back to Jiang Shaoxu, and a gust of wind blew from outside the cave, blowing up his robe.
