Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 36 Yegrit's formidable strength

Not far away, Qin Yu'er and Ding Yumin stood on a high place and witnessed the whole process of Cheng Xiaoyu summoning the shadow soldiers.

They were both victims, possessing terrifying abilities, but now, upon seeing their junior brother, the two women felt that his abilities were even more terrifying.

It can summon undead-like creatures, but it doesn't need the help of necromancy; it's purely derived from shadow magic.

It is said that it can also turn the corpses of demons into ghosts. Everything before that is acceptable, but this one is really unbelievable!

On the snow-covered ground, a layer of bright scarlet has appeared on the white expanse, like plum blossoms in winter, blooming freely in this pristine land.

The two sides are evenly matched in terms of numbers and strength, but the Shadow Legion has the ability to resurrect infinitely, and can rejoin the battlefield simply by consuming mana.

Under the combined attack of the Shadow Soldiers and Shadow Mages, the Ice Bear Clan was quickly defeated, and their corpses lay scattered on the snow.

The Ice Bear King, who had been watching the battle from the cave entrance, saw that all his underlings were dead. He slammed his forelimbs heavily on the snow, roared angrily, and kicked up clouds of snow dust.

"roar!"

"Heh, is the boss finally going to make his appearance?"

Cheng Xiaoyu stood aside with his hands in his pockets the whole time without making a move. When he saw that the Ice Bear King finally couldn't take it anymore, a smile appeared on his face.

The Ice Bear King was at the commander level. With a single sweep of its paw, several shadow soldiers turned into black mist and vanished. In no time, it had reduced the number of shadow legions by more than half.

As expected of the Ice Bear King, a commander-level being, it instantly wiped out a portion of the Shadow Soldiers — never mind, I'm not going to continue playing.

Cheng Xiaoyu recalled all the remaining Shadow Soldiers, not intending to waste any more magic energy. Besides, this battle was just a game, since the Shadow Wolves hadn't even made an appearance.

"Yaglitt".

Upon hearing the king's call, Jagrit, who had been guarding him all along, stepped forward, carrying a long sword in his hand. His black cloak and blood-red headdress fluttered behind him, and he exuded an aura of tranquility.

It strolled leisurely, the clanging of its armor echoing through the wind and snow, like a countdown to death!

The Ice Bear King charged forward first, swinging its arms as it descended upon Yegrit, stirring up a large swath of fine snow.

Suddenly, a black figure burst out from the white snow, and a sharp sword slashed across the Ice Bear King's shoulder, leaving a bloody wound that revealed the stark white bone.

The Ice Bear King reacted quickly, immediately turning around to grab at the dark figure in mid-air, but the dark figure instantly teleported to a more distant point in the sky.

Jagrit tumbled through the air a few times before landing swiftly, his longsword deeply embedded in the Ice Bear King's back.

It didn't stop there; it even ran across the Ice Bear King's back, leaving a long, bloody gash on its back as the longsword sliced ​​through it.

The instant he landed, without any hesitation, he turned and swung his sword in one fluid motion!

The Ice Bear King's legs were severed, and it collapsed to its knees with its blood-red mouth agape. In just a few seconds, its white body was covered in blood, and the gruesome sword wounds looked particularly frightening.

"Wow!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Yegrit walked up to the Ice Bear King, who raised its head and stared at it as if it were examining a work of art.

Even so, the Ice Bear King was, after all, a demon of the commander level, and its burst of power before death was extremely formidable. It opened its blood-covered mouth, intending to unleash its last remaining strength.

In an instant, a flash of sword light, and its hideous head flew off, finally rolling onto the snow, while its scarlet headless corpse also fell to the ground.

If I had actually fought Jaeglit during the job change quest, I would definitely be dead by it now.

Looking at the Ice Bear King's gruesome death, Cheng Xiaoyu broke out in a cold sweat and felt a lingering fear.

Although he can now fight a commander-level demon one-on-one, there are differences between commanders, and Yegrit is definitely stronger than him!

Jaeglit wiped the blood off his longsword, walked up to Cheng Xiaoyu, knelt on one knee, and lowered his proud head to show respect.

[Your Majesty, I have fortunately fulfilled my mission.]

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled and placed his hand on Yeglit's shoulder.

"Thanks a lot."

"Junior Brother!"

Qin Yu'er walked over with Ding Yumin, looked at the messy snow, and then looked at Yeglit beside Cheng Xiaoyu, and sighed.

"Junior brother, you're amazing! You actually wiped out all the ice bears in one cave."

"Yes, and the undead creatures you have are far too powerful. The knights beside you alone can instantly kill commander-level demons."

Faced with the praise from the two beautiful senior sisters, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said.

"Sister Yu'er, Sister Yu Mian, weren't you curious about how I turned demons into undead? I'll show you."

He walked to the center of the crimson snowfield, his eyes filled with a dark light, and an aura permeated the area as he spoke in a cold voice.

"Stand up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of black mist rose from each of the corpses, slowly condensing into black ice bears.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu'er and Ding Yumin both showed expressions of surprise. This was the first time they had ever seen such magic. Although the necromancy system also had similar abilities to refine the dead, Cheng Xiaoyu's ability was more straightforward.

Seeing that all the other Shadow Ice Bears had been successfully extracted, Cheng Xiaoyu turned his attention to the headless Ice Bear King's corpse. He had failed once before when extracting the giant demon in [Castlevania]. This Ice Bear King was slightly stronger than it, and he wondered if he would succeed this time.

"Stand up."

Shadow extraction failed.

"Stand up."

Shadow extraction failed.

"Stand up."

Shadow extraction successful

In an instant, the enormous Shadow Ice Bear King stood up, its aura even stronger than before, and let out a roar to the sky.

Its forelimbs slowly touched the ground, its dark body lay prone on the snow, and it lowered its proud head to the king.

"call----"

Cheng Xiaoyu let out a breath. It seemed he still needed to hurry up and improve his cultivation, otherwise it would be terrible if he couldn't extract the shadow of the demon he liked later.

"So that's how it turned out—"

Looking at the Shadow Ice Bear, which seemed to have been reborn, Qin Yu'er's pretty face showed a look of sudden realization, followed by a serious expression in her eyes.

Grandpa Xiao is right. Junior Brother's ability absolutely cannot be discovered by those guys, otherwise it might very well become comparable to the power of the Fallen.

Junior brother, don't worry, senior sister will definitely protect you!

Upon returning to Shanghai, Cheng Xiaoyu planned to go into seclusion for a period of time. After a long period of reflection and training, he was only one step away from reaching the advanced level.

Once he breaks through to the high-level, he will continue his conquest of [Castlevania], along with the [Intermediate Limit] he obtained earlier.

[Time Dungeon Key], I suppose you can level up inside.

Back at his apartment, Cheng Xiaoyu happened to run into his neighbor's beautiful daughter, who was also returning home. The three girls greeted him sweetly, their voices like birdsong.

Although he wasn't a lecherous glutton, being surrounded by three school beauties was still better than those rough men.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu roughly knew the purpose of the three women. They were probably just trying to get closer to the aristocratic families after they learned that he was Dean Xiao's student.

He could have chosen to stay away, but considering the relationship between the three women and his sister, he decided to let things take their course.

"Hey, Sister Tang Yue, what's up?"

After taking a shower and entering the bedroom, Cheng Xiaoyu answered a video call from Tang Yue.

Tang Yue looked at the young man's bare upper body on her phone screen. His strong, muscular physique made her face flush slightly. She couldn't help but swallow quietly and said, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Xiao Yu, I've found out that the Black Vatican has been frequently appearing in Shanghai lately. Be careful during this period."

"Yeah?"

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned slightly, put down the towel he was using to dry his hair, and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"Um—move the phone down a bit, you can't see my abs anymore—"

"?"
