Full-Time Magister: Can My Magic Cultivate Itself?

However, just as Yang Zuohe was in shock, at a dark corner not far away...

Suddenly, a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound rang out, followed by several extremely heavy footsteps accompanied by the scraping of claws on the ground!

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

By the light of the fire, Lin Chen stared intently at the corner.

Judging from the chaotic footsteps and the heavy sense of oppression, there were definitely two to three of them!

For a beginner level one mage who has just mastered magic, this is absolutely a life-or-death situation!

But just as that massive, nauseatingly foul-smelling shadow peeked out from around the corner, Lin Chen moved!

Without any hesitation, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he swung his right arm in a wide arc, like throwing a baseball, slamming the ball of raging flame in his hand out!

"Sizzle, burn!!!"

"boom--!!!"

The crimson fireball left a dazzling trail in the dimly lit passage, colliding precisely with the enormous creature that had just sprung out!

With a deafening explosion, flames shot into the sky!

In the brief moment of intense light, Lin Chen finally saw the monster's true form—it was a giant rat, comparable in size to a Tibetan mastiff, covered in black fur like steel needles.

The most terrifying thing is that it has a huge, scarlet eye on its head that takes up half of its face!

"Squeak squeak squeak—!!!"

The giant-eyed rat let out an extremely shrill scream, and the flames that burst forth were like a malignant sore.

Instantly, it scorched wildly on its greasy fur, filling the air with a nauseating smell of burnt meat.

But this is not the end!

Just as the first giant-eyed rat was engulfed by flames and rolled around frantically, two extremely swift black shadows darted out from the darkness around the corner!

Those were two giant-eyed, bloody rats!

Their blood-red eyes flashed with a brutal glint, and they opened their foul-smelling mouths full of fangs. With a sudden burst of power from their hind legs, they charged straight at Lin Chen like two black cannonballs, one on the left and one on the right!

A foul stench filled the air, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped Lin Chen.

But at this moment, there was not even the slightest bit of panic in Lin Chen's eyes. Instead, there was an extremely calm, even frantic, focus!

Because he knew that the intermediate-level mage Yang Zuohe was less than two meters away from him!

With his uncle backing him up, he definitely won't die!

In that case, he can unleash all his potential without any scruples!

"Get fired up!!!"

Lin Chen roared in his heart, and his eyes were instantly illuminated by the magical light, turning them crimson!

Within the realm of the mind, vast stardust churned violently.

A chilling scene unfolded—under Lin Chen's abnormally intense concentration, two crimson star trails simultaneously and independently connected in his mental world!

The next instant, Lin Chen suddenly opened his arms wide.

"Whoosh—!!!"

Without any delay, two extremely violent flames, exuding a destructive aura, simultaneously blazed up on Lin Chen's left and right hands!

"Multitasking?! Casting spells with both hands simultaneously?!"

Yang Zuohe, who was standing to the side and was originally ready to help, now had his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

He felt that his worldview had been brutally rubbed into the ground by his nephew today!

To be able to multitask and cast two basic spells simultaneously requires extremely strong mental strength, something even high-level mages cannot master.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, has only been awakened for half a year!

Yang Zuohe clearly underestimated Lin Chen's talent and the boy's ruthlessness!

Facing two giant, blood-smelling rats that were pouncing from the air and were less than three meters away from him, Lin Chen's eyes were fixed on their trajectory.

Just as they were about to land, their sharp claws almost touching Lin Chen's face!

Lin Chen made a move!

He suddenly lowered his body, exerted force with his legs, and, using the slippery, sticky moss and silt on the sewer floor, slid forward with incredible smoothness, like a cheetah flying close to the ground!

"Whoosh—!"

Two giant, punty rats, having missed their target, swooped over Lin Chen's head and crashed heavily into the sewage behind him.

Lin Chen, using this extremely skillful slide tackle, instantly slid to the giant-eyed rat that had been hit by his fire blast and was now smoking and struggling painfully on the ground!

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His body was still sliding, but his hands had already reached out with extreme ruthlessness!

"Pfft!"

Without hesitation, he shoved the ball of blazing fire in his left hand, with extreme precision and cruelty, directly into the giant, unsuspecting, scarlet eye of the giant-eyed rat!

"Squeak—!!!" The giant-eyed rat let out an unprecedented, ear-piercing scream!

At the same time, Lin Chen pressed his right hand hard on the fur on its side where the flames were about to go out!

"burst!!!"

Two fiery, scorching forces, one internal and one external, erupted simultaneously on the same giant-eyed blood rat!

The terrifying heat instantly burned through its eyeballs and went straight to its brain; while the external flames completely ignited its internal organs!

Focus fire on one target first; it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten!

This was Lin Chen's calmest and most ruthless tactical decision made in the blink of an eye!

After all, he is currently just a low-level level one mage with limited magical energy.

But in his first real battle against demons, he was able to rely on his own strength.

To single-handedly kill a slave-level demon in such a devastating and violently aesthetic way—this feat would absolutely leave all the mages in Bo City, no, including the teachers at his school, speechless!

"Pfft—!!!"

Accompanied by the horrifying sound of burning flesh and blood, the giant-eyed rat, which was being attacked by Lin Chen from both sides, couldn't even utter a final howl.

Its enormous body crashed into the foul-smelling sewage, twitched twice, and then turned into a charred corpse.

However, just as Lin Chen completed this amazing "first kill", the other two giant-eyed rats that had just missed their target regained their footing.

When they turned around and saw the gruesome death of their companions, they did not flinch at all; instead, they were completely enraged!

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

In their single, scarlet eye that occupied half their face, an extremely venomous and bloodthirsty glint instantly erupted.

In their simple demonic logic, this seemingly weak human, who exudes faint magical energy fluctuations, not only toyed with them but also slaughtered his companions right in front of them!

This is a provocation against them!

Without the slightest pause, the two giant-eyed blood rats let out a piercing screech and, one on the left and one on the right, transformed into two black lightning bolts, rushing madly towards Lin Chen once again!

This time, their attacks were noticeably more coordinated. The pincer movement from the left and right was like an impenetrable net of death, completely sealing off all of Lin Chen's possible escape routes!

"Damn it!"

Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He quickly looked inward at his spiritual world, where the once brilliant fire-elemental stardust had now become somewhat dim.

His unrestrained outburst just now, coupled with the high mental exertion of maintaining "One Thought Star Orbit," has left his mana reserves almost depleted.

It can only support him to cast one or two more basic spells at most!

"Let's give it our all!"

In this life-or-death situation, Lin Chen's brain was working at its limit.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson star trail flashed through his mind again, and he gripped a ball of scorching "Fire Sizzle - Burning" tightly in his right hand.

He stared intently at the giant-eyed rat charging most fiercely on the left, and seized the perfect moment when its old strength had just run out and its new strength had not yet arisen, and suddenly hurled the fireball in his hand at it!

At the same time, Lin Chen didn't even look at the result. He suddenly exerted force with both legs and ran wildly towards the extremely narrow gap on the right, trying to tear open a way out!

In Lin Chen's mind, even demons would instinctively back down or pause due to the pain of the scorching flames. As long as there was even a half-second opening, he could escape!

But he was wrong! He severely underestimated the brutality and madness that demons possessed to their very core!
