Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Chapter 140 Wind, Flame, Thunder Vulture

"Get back here! I'm not dead yet!" Asha'ruya yelled angrily. Zhang Chen teleported to Asha'ruya's side: "You're still alive! I thought I was going to be looting the loot box with tears in my eyes!"

"I won't die even if you die!" Asha'ruya sneered. "That's what I should be saying to you. You don't really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a Dark Sword Master, do you?" Zhang Chen mocked. "You can do whatever you want! If you don't shut up, I'll have the Dark Sword Master hang you up and beat you later!" Asha'ruya retorted. "Then I'll be waiting for you! Stop dawdling! Lead the way! You're wasting time!" Zhang Chen kicked Asha'ruya. Asha'ruya stumbled, turned around and glared at Zhang Chen, then walked ahead and led the way.

"By the way, what was that thing just now? Did it have flesh and blood?" Zhang Chen completely ignored the previous banter and asked shamelessly.

Asha's chest heaved violently, and she finally let out a long breath, saying, "Fool! That's the Tyrant Titan, a giant creature from a more ancient era. Legend has it that giants were gods in European human history, but they gradually declined with the rise of Greek mythology."

"These ancient gods gradually transformed into terrifying man-eating monsters. In fact, these ancient titans originally fed on humans. They were so powerful that people at that time believed that their periodic consumption of a certain number of humans was actually a form of protection for the human race."

"As for whether its body is flesh and blood, you'll find out once you kill one!"

"So this tyrant is actually referring to these mountain titans?" Zhang Chen said, already determined to strike first and then beat her up after the battle.

"Yes. The Parthenon has achieved its unparalleled status because they defeated these false gods and established a civilization and faith of their own. The leader at that time was a woman, known as the Saint, who is now called the goddess Athena."

Asha'ruya said.

"Oh, I thought Athena was just a myth," Zhang Chen said. "Myths originate from history. People always like to mythologize outstanding people so that they can establish an incredibly solid ideology. Once an ideology becomes a belief, the power of that belief is like a raging tsunami, destroying everything."

"Athena is just a title; anyone can be called Athena. The important thing is whether that person has made outstanding contributions that match the title."

Asha'ruya said.

"The Black Vatican couldn't have originated from your Parthenon, could it?! That sounds so familiar!" Zhang Chen said.

Asha's expression remained unchanged: "I don't know!"

"So it turns out your Parthenon isn't all that great after all—that might lessen your guilt." Zhang Chen said, recalling the white magic legacy of the Parthenon. "I suggest you go to the bottom of the Parthenon! That way you can see Athena!" Asha's words echoed. The top of the main peak of Tyrant Mountain was covered by a perpetual black cloud, level with the mountain peak, and sometimes even below it.

As Zhang Chen entered the long crevice halfway up the mountain, he discovered that the rocks at this location looked as if they had been cleaved open by a divine axe that had fallen from the sky, leaving a very narrow crack.

Of course, this must be the work of lightning!

Looking into the mountain crevice from outside, one can see countless strands of lightning twisting and shimmering inside, as if a thick barrier has been placed over it. The lightning appears dark gray, and after the flash, a faint yellowish light shines through the air.

As an excellent treasure hunter, Zhang Chen had already sensed the aura of the treasure (soul seed), but he didn't expect it to be halfway up the mountain. Zhang Chen thought it was at the top of the mountain!

This is probably why so many hunters come here to search but ultimately find nothing; all they see is lightning striking down from the black clouds onto the mountain peaks.

-

Subconsciously, I felt that the lightning-type soul seed must be on the mountain peak, but little did I know that lightning had formed a lightning field halfway up the mountain, where the real soul lightning had been tempered and refined over countless years and finally matured.

"Why did you stop! Let's go!" Zhang Chen urged. "Are you an idiot! Didn't you see anything else?!" Asha'ruya cursed. Zhang Chen added another mark against her in his mind, thinking, "Just wait until we get back, I'll deal with you." He casually remarked, "It's just a few birds! Just release your Dark Sword Master and kill them!"

He had long ago seen some strangely colored birds lying on the mountain walls and large rocks. They were probably diurnal creatures that slept soundly at night.

"That's easy for you to say! Why don't you go and get in there! We're already within their nesting range. As soon as we get into the Rays Rift, those Windfire Thunder Vultures will attack us!" Asha'ruya retorted.

"Oh? Is it that powerful? I can't sense it at all," Zhang Chen said. "Ignorant fool! They are three types of magical birds of prey, capable of unleashing powerful magical skills, and their own strength is extremely formidable. They can be considered dual-wielding demons!"

"They cultivate wind for ten years, fire for ten years, and lightning for ten years. When their lightning cultivation is complete, they will transform into three-headed demonic vultures. Three-headed demonic vultures are considered to be among the top-tier beings in the commander class."

"The Wind and Thunder Flame Vultures that have just entered the Wind Cultivation stage are actually quite weak, at most equivalent to an advanced-stage Battle General-level creature. After entering the Fire Cultivation stage, they gain the strength of a minor commander, and after entering the Thunder Cultivation stage, they are reborn from their cocoons and become the best among the commanders. There are at least eight or nine of them."

Asariya explained.

"Stop talking, you're still a good-for-nothing in the end, watch me!" Zhang Chen interrupted, recognizing Asha's worthless nature.

"You're amazing! Come on!" Asha Ruya turned into a shadow and hid in the distance.

Zhang Chen also wanted to try to see how many commanders he could control with his current mental strength and mind magic. At the fifth realm, he could only control one or two at most.

They are still fast asleep, and the mind magic is easier to control than usual. The power of the mind quietly seeps into the body of the Wind Flame Thunder Vulture.

Before long, one by one, the Wind Flame Thunders raised their heads, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out from Zhang Chen's forehead. By the time of the sixth one, cold sweat was pouring down his head like rain.

Zhang Chen controlled one three-headed demonic eagle and five two-headed demonic eagles. He first controlled them to silently kill one of them to free up some of his mental energy, and then controlled them to attack the remaining three uncontrolled demonic eagles.

As Asharuya looked at the chaotic wind-flame thunder eagles in the sky, she couldn't help but become curious about Zhang Chen's current spiritual realm. She just turned her gaze away from the sky to look for Zhang Chen, only to find that he was no longer there.

Asha'ruya immediately thought to herself, "Oh no! My lightning-type soul seed!"

With that thought, he transformed into a shadow and swiftly fled inside.
