Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"That's Emiya! Damn it, that damned demon!"

"This is a trampling of our dignity!"

"Tenfold repayment! It must be tenfold repayment!"

The skeletons that were spat out were none other than those of the mages who had sacrificed themselves earlier!

They were swallowed whole by the Demon Lord, dissolving in excruciating pain and despair in extremely acidic digestive fluids, and even their remains were used as a provocation.

"Depend on!"

Xu Fang cursed, "Today I'll turn you into takoyaki!"

"Roar!!!" The Demon Lord charged forward without fear, its hideous, sticky body emitting a nauseating stench even from a distance.

Swish!

A cold glint flashed, and a piece of its flesh was ripped off, splattering out dark blue blood.

The icy invasion at the wound continued to spread, and the Demon Lord's tentacles reversed, tearing off a large chunk from the previous wound.

—But Xu Fang came again.

The cold light was chilling, and the Demon Lord dared not take the Death Scythe head-on. He wanted to use his water control technique, but was blocked by that damned El Niño.

Soon, its head, body, and tentacles bore the marks of the Deathly Frost, and the Heavenly Ice caused its body to stiffen uncontrollably.

It looks just like meat on a chopping board, waiting to be chopped.

"cut!"

From top to bottom, the scythe slashes down!

The Demon Lord's soft body was cut into several pieces, the cut surfaces clean and neat, much like a culinary immortal meticulously preparing his seafood dish.

"Roar!!!"

The Demon Lord is not dead yet.

These creatures are incredibly resilient; they're still struggling even at this stage.

"El Niño, finish it off," Xu Fang commanded.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

El Niño rubbed his little hands together excitedly and leaned in.

The Demon Lord's drooping eyes were filled with fear.

After her experience in the Arctic, El Niño may still look like the same pure and innocent little white flower, but in private she's quite the free spirit.

Pfft! Snap!

El Niño's chubby little hand pierced through the skull of the Demon Lord and pulled out a crystal.

Inside the crystal, a small octopus was struggling, which was none other than the other party's beast soul.

El Niño downed it in one gulp, the immense energy within the Monarch Crystal making the little guy squint his eyes in delight.

······

While Xu Fang was fighting the Demon Lord, the mages of the Ocean Alliance dived into the sea to search for the underwater river that Xu Fang had mentioned.

The seawater was filled with blue-patterned magic seals, in great numbers. The smallest was only the size of a laptop, while the largest was the size of a magic passenger plane!

Thousands upon thousands, slowly surging, tightly packed together, with almost no gaps between them.

As they swim, they spew out murky poisonous mist from their special mouthparts, creating a suffocating black torrent!

"Stay calm! Stay calm! We've taken cover; these demons won't attack!"

The vice-captain was a sound mage, and his words were projected into sound lines that reached the ears of every team member.

"Captain, what about our sensing devices?" one of them asked.

To find underwater rivers, it's impossible to swim to the bottom and search with the naked eye; military instruments are necessary.

However, this instrument is like an element detector, and demons hate this signal so much that they will swarm towards it in droves once they sense it!

"Let's dive down first and get out of this area!" said Mochizuki Chika, the only one who volunteered.

Most of the mages present had water-based abilities, so they tried to keep their movements low and descend silently.

On the first day, after traveling one kilometer, they encountered some sea monsters head-on.

The next day, another kilometer passed, and more than half of the people were injured.

By the third day, the team members were on the verge of collapse.

To hell with glory! I just want to live, I want to leave!

"Tetsuya was sucked away right in front of me, and there wasn't even a body left!"

"The sirens are really too strong. A Grand Commander is having more trouble fighting them than a Sub-Monarch on land!"

"Shut up!" Mochizuki Chika snapped. "We've come this far, are you still going to back down? Are you going to let a foreigner save our country?"

Everyone was silent.

Several of the younger men looked indignant; if the atmosphere hadn't been so tense, they would have all chimed in with "Yeah, right."

“In that case, the high-level mages will stay here and set up an underwater camp, while the super-level mages will continue diving with me!” Mochizuki Chika said.

This arrangement barely appeased everyone; at least they wouldn't have to go deeper into the abyss to their deaths.

Several high-level mages descended again.

As the water depth increases, the water pressure gradually increases, and you can clearly feel your body being pressed down by water from all directions, especially causing discomfort around your ears.

Mochizuki Chika's chest heaved, feeling as if her round breasts were about to be squeezed flat.

Even though Japan is famous for its naval battles, it has always been a passive defensive posture on land and seawalls. When has it ever actively dived into deep water?

The light had almost completely disappeared, with only the faint glow from light magic barely illuminating a small area in front of us.

In this distorted interplay of light and shadow, the surrounding seawater seemed to become viscous and heavy, as if even time itself had been stretched out.

They also began to encounter more and more bizarre deep-sea creatures. They avoided those they could, and for the ones they couldn't avoid, they tried to have the shadow mages hide and kill them with a single blow.

"Mwah~~~~~~"

The vice-captain swallowed hard and whispered, "Captain, there's a strange noise coming from over there."

He was a sonic mage and could hear clearly that strange sounds were rippling from the bottom up in the sea.

These sounds echoed in the empty darkness, like a summons from hell, inspiring fear and sending chills down one's spine, giving one goosebumps.

"Team on alert! I'll go first, follow me!" said Mochizuki Chika, as plant-based light emanated from her body, and the plant species Bellflower protected her in front of her.

She was the first to dive, slowly moving along the narrow crack in the wall, resisting the biting cold outside.

The deep-sea monsters don't have very good eyesight either. She mainly relies on unusual fluctuations in the seawater to lock onto targets. As long as she controls the flow of the water, she is not easy to be detected.

"Captain! Captain!"

Suddenly, the vice-captain's voice rang in his ears: "I heard the heartbeat of a monarch-level creature. It's right below you, and it's moving very fast, approaching you!"

Sovereign level!

Mochizuki Chika had no intention of fighting alone. In this deep-sea demon trench, on someone else's territory, she had no confidence in defeating the monarch!

"Huff...huff..."

Mochizuki Chika took out a magical artifact that emitted a faint glow. As the artifact was activated, it spun around her, releasing a dim light.

Within the light, Mochizuki Chika's body began to undergo wondrous changes.

Her skin gradually became soft and elastic, as if it had been reshaped by an invisible force.

In the end, she completely transformed into a dark mass of soft mud, clinging tightly to the trench wall, blending into the surrounding environment and becoming almost undetectable.

Within this mass of soft mud, Mochizuki Chika held her breath, her heartbeat slowing to an almost imperceptible level.

She left a piece of bellflower outside, swaying with the underwater currents, carefully sensing everything around her, including every tremor on the trench walls and every ripple of the water.

coming!

Mochizuki Chika's vision went black as a gigantic sea monster lord slowly swam past her.

Its massive body swam slowly in the sea, rampaging recklessly, each swing accompanied by a deafening roar.

Mochizuki Chika suppressed her fear and remained motionless against the trench wall like a lifeless rock, for moving now would undoubtedly reveal her location to the monarch.

The Sea Beast Monarch remained unaware of Mochizuki Chika's location and continued patrolling the trench, searching for delicious prey.

"Captain, that guy's gone!" the vice-captain's voice rang out.

Mochizuki Chika breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to answer, a scream rang out beside her!

"Ow!!!!"

The seawater, which had just calmed down, has boiled again!

The enormous flow of water surged forward with unstoppable force, whipping up silt and gravel, forming turbulent, turbid waves.

The last bit of visibility of Mochizuki Chika disappeared, and the surrounding seawater seemed to plunge down like the most turbulent waterfall, rolling and colliding on the seabed, making a deafening sound!

"It's that monarch! Damn it, it's found us!"

"Captain, run! Don't answer me! Don't answer me!"

These were the last words left by the vice-captain. The direction from which they came rippled with magical light, but unfortunately, it did not last long before being completely annihilated by the turbid waves.

"hateful!"

Mochizuki Chika covered her mouth, forcing herself not to make a sound.

Once the storm had passed, she continued her descent.

The bottom of this trench is surprisingly wide open!

"This is the underwater river..." Mochizuki Chika looked at the surging river in front of her, her anger almost tangible.

This is the root of all evil.

"Disappear, you bastard!"

Surrounded by a green glow, Mochizuki Chika didn't care whether the monarch would return for revenge and used all the magic power within her.
