Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 6 Blue Bat: Benefactor

Mu Ningwei watched the play with his chin resting on his hand.

He can deal with the Black Pepper Court followers now, but Xu Zhaoting needs to be taught a lesson; simply saving him would be too easy.

Mu Ningwei had no intention of giving Xu Zhaoting a long lecture.

You can learn something by teaching it once.

Let's watch the play.

Xu Zhaoting sneaked in, and upon seeing the cult members, he was consumed by hatred. He unleashed a mid-level spell, Thunderbolt Strike, and killed two cult members in a sneak attack before being surrounded by the Black Beast Demons.

Zhang Lulu came to help, and the two of them delivered vegetables together. They were injured by the Black Beast Demon and held hostage in vital areas.

Enraged, the followers plotted to humiliate Zhang Lulu in front of Xu Zhaoting and then transform Xu Zhaoting into a black beast demon.

"No! Please! Please, please!"

"Stop! Lulu, it's my fault!"

Mu Ningwei remained completely calm until the followers were about to begin, at which point he revealed himself.

Accompanied by a crisp step.

Whether they were followers or black demons, the shadows beneath them all seemed to come alive, transforming into bloated, swollen worms.

They opened their mouths, which were like meat grinders filled with sharp teeth, and inflated like balloons, swallowing them whole with a gurgling sound.

A chilling chewing sound rang out, and the dark worm sank into the ground and disappeared.

"You are saved."

Mu Ningwei stood under the light, a bright smile on his handsome face, and reached out to help Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu up respectively.

The two stunned people came to their senses.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving us!"

Xu Zhaoting was extremely grateful and, despite the pain, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you……"

Zhang Lulu clutched Mu Ningwei's clothes and cried loudly.

Xu Zhaoting, filled with self-reproach, stepped forward to comfort Zhang Lulu, but Zhang Lulu hid behind Mu Ningwei, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Zhaoting, you almost killed me, and I almost lost my innocence..."

"I'm so sorry, Lulu, I'm so sorry!"

Mu Ningwei spoke up, "Alright, could you two please tell Dean Xiao about Black Pepper Court?"

The pleas of their savior led the two to put an end to their emotional entanglement.

Xu Zhaoting: "You saved both of us. I'm so grateful. Could you please leave your contact information? I'll transfer all the money to you."

Mu Ning readily accepted the good advice and told him how to contact them.

The two thanked him profusely and left.

Mu Ningwei sensed the power of faith transmitted between the two and took out the Dark Cross.

Inside were the remnants of the souls of the five cultists who had just died, as well as the remnants of the souls of the seventeen black beast demons.

"Most of the Black Beast Demons are pitiful people, let's give them to Athena."

The light-based magic energy transformed into an illusory door, and Mu Ningwei threw the remnant soul of the Black Beast Demon into it. The door then spewed out a great deal of divine power of faith.

Mu Ningwei sensed the reserve of divine power in his faith, "I'll be able to see Sister Athena soon."

As for the remnants of the cultist's soul, Mu Ningwei threw them into the shadows and fed them to the worm-devouring race that he was raising in the shadow plane.

Glug glug—

The shadow boiled and emitted a large number of bubbles, and five blood-stained heads floated out.

"You can use it to collect a reward. I wonder how much the bounty is on members of the Black Pepper Court in China."

Mu Ningwei activated his Dark Vision, looked at the black dots around him, and curled the corners of his mouth. "Let's do a thorough cleaning."

……

Mu Ning only raised 120 general-level worm devourers and several servant-level ones for battlefield cleanup.

These shadow creatures eat everything. Sometimes, when Mu Ningwei is too lazy to go out and take out the trash, he throws the trash into the shadows to feed them.

This shows just how important they are!

While the Worm Devourer's strategic value lies in clearing out grunts, the General-class is sufficient to handle 90% of the events.

Under Mu Ningwei's dark vision, Black Pepper Court had nowhere to hide. All it needed to do was arrive near the stronghold, summon the Worm Devourer, and it could be left to fend for itself.

Mu Ningwei even had time to make phone calls:

"Leng Qing".

"Mu Ningwei?"

"I've found Black Pepper Garden here, come quick. I'll send you the coordinates."

"Black Pepper Court? I'm coming right now. (Huh? My sister promised to go with me to buy a new computer...)"

After hanging up the phone, Mu Ningwei seemed to hear other sounds on the other end.

"Lingling? Sorry, I need to borrow your sister for a bit."

Mu Ningwei looked at the last unfinished building.

This area has the most black spots and the strongest traces, so it's likely the command center.

"Let's resolve this together."

Shadows writhed, and huge black figures appeared, weaving through the shadows cast by the unfinished building and crawling inside.

Standing on high ground, the shadow of the unfinished building looks like water mixed with a lot of ink, gradually becoming darker and more gloomy.

Those were worm-like devourers, piling up, wriggling, crawling, surging out like waves, yet remaining completely silent, appearing almost transparent in the shadows.

They invaded the abandoned building, merging into the shadows of cultists and black demons, opening their gaping maws.

goo—

Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff...

The leader in black was giving a speech when, in the blink of an eye, countless writhing black tumors suddenly appeared in his field of vision, devouring all his subordinates!

His pupils dilated in shock, his eyes glazed over, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his teeth chattered, and he let out a sharp, terrified scream:

"——"

The scream didn't even get a chance to escape.

Yu Ang's shadow, abdomen, and head were pierced by three shadow nails, turning him into a statue with a lifelike and highly expressive sense of terror, enough to be placed in an Oscar-winning cinema for countless stars to watch and learn from.

Tapping.

Mu Ningwei emerged from the shadows, a row of blood-stained heads appearing behind him. A large number of remnants of souls gathered in the dark cross, and the dark worms that had devoured the delicious flesh returned to his feet.

"The Soul Reaper".

The legendary prototype of the Black and White Impermanence, a pale white humanoid ghost, appeared, drawing out Yu Ang's terrified soul and bringing it back to the Shadow Dimension.

He was subjected to torture by the executioners until they extracted information about the Black Pepper Court.

Yu Ang couldn't hold out for long before Mu Ningwei learned about his superior's situation.

"So he was Yu Ang."

Unexpectedly, the lowly henchman who was casually trampled to death was a supporting character who actually had some screen time in the original work.

Mu Ningwei conjured a shadow chair, leaned back comfortably, and lazily squinted his eyes.

There was the scent of living people approaching from outside.

"Did you make this?"

Leng Qing strutted along with her long, fleshy legs, her pert buttocks and slender waist swaying slightly.

Her gaze swept over a row of bloodstained heads and the last horrified corpse, and her pretty face looked at Mu Ningwei in surprise.

Aren't you a knight of Parthenon?

Why does this villainous boss vibe feel so familiar?

"Obviously."

Leng Qing was astonished by the number of heads. "I thought it was going to be a tough battle, but you've already taken care of everything. Did you call me here to tally up your credit?"

Mu Ningwei smiled. "How could I trouble you so easily? I've already found the whereabouts of Black Pepper Court's chief steward in Shanghai, a blue-clad butler. Would you like to come along?"

Leng Qing was surprised, "Really? I'll contact the presiding judge immediately!"

"Opportunities are fleeting. How about we head to Black Pepper Court's main stronghold first?"

"Alright, thank you, Mu Ningwei. If we can really eradicate Black Pepper Court in Shanghai this time, you'll be a great hero to everyone!"

Mu Ningwei remained noncommittal; he had heard similar words too many times to be emotionally affected by them anymore.

……

In the afternoon, Leng Qing brought over a beautiful woman.

"She was an undercover agent of our Tribunal, infiltrated into the Black Pepper Court. Unfortunately, she was discovered by Salam and was about to be killed when we saved her. After her wounds were healed, we really wanted to thank you in person."

The blue bat smiled shyly, "Hello, benefactor, my code name is Bee Sting."

Mu Ningwei was stunned. "A bee sting?"

Blue bat?

what?
