Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

Chapter 84 Flames and Mire in the Ruins

Demons are not mindless machines. After the commander-level winged wolves fled and most of the warrior-level demons were targeted by the Sky Eagle Mage Corps, the remaining servant-level demons began to disperse and hide in various corners of the city.

Sewers, underground parking garages, collapsed air-raid shelters, and even the interiors of some relatively well-preserved high-rise buildings.

This caused great trouble for the cleanup operation. The military mages and hunter squads could only search street by street and building by building, and they would be ambushed if they were not careful.

For the next two days, Wang Yu was completely immersed in this high-intensity urban warfare.

He didn't team up with any squads; going solo allowed him to meet his training needs to the fullest extent.

In the south of the city, there is an old residential area.

The dense buildings and narrow alleys here are perfect for demons to hide in.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion came from two streets away, followed by several terrified cries for help.

Wang Yu was leaning against a section of broken wall, recovering his magical energy, when he heard the noise and immediately opened his eyes.

Brown star trails flickered beneath his feet. Instead of using wind magic, he directly cast "Earth Wave Teleportation," an earth-based travel technique he had just mastered in the past two days. Although it was not as fast as wind magic, it had the advantage of lower mana consumption.

After passing through two alleys, Wang Yu stopped in front of a half-collapsed six-story residential building.

The shops on the first floor had been completely destroyed. Four mages dressed in hunter's uniforms were huddled back to back in a corner, their faces deathly pale.

Around them, a dozen or so giant-eyed gorillas were rapidly crawling on the walls and ceiling, forming a circle around them.

To make matters worse, in the middle of the street not far away, a blood-striped troll rat the size of a small car was eyeing them menacingly.

It seems to be one of the few who slipped through the net that Sky Eagle Mage failed to eliminate.

"Captain, my mana is depleted..." A young-looking water mage's voice trembled.

"Shut up! Hold onto your magic weapon!" The middle-aged man, known as the captain, gritted his teeth. He held a weak flame in his hand, but against a dozen servant-level monsters and a warrior-level demon, this firepower was utterly useless.

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat let out a sharp screech and gave the order to attack.

More than a dozen giant-eyed orangutan rats pounced on that corner from all directions at the same time.

The hunters closed their eyes in despair.

Just then, the bluestone slabs on the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

"Ground Wave - Collapse!"

A calm voice rang out at the alley entrance.

The ground within a ten-meter radius around the four hunters instantly collapsed, forming a trench-like mud pit three meters deep.

The giant-eyed orangutans, pouncing in mid-air, lost their target and fell into the mud pit. The mud at the bottom of the pit was extremely sticky, and the more they struggled, the deeper they sank, making it impossible for them to jump out.

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat was enraged by this sudden turn of events. It turned its head and stared intently at Wang Yu at the alley entrance.

"squeak!"

Its massive body suddenly started moving, charging towards Wang Yu like a heavy tank, smashing through the broken bricks and tiles along the way.

Wang Yu's expression remained unchanged.

His hands hung naturally at his sides, and in his mental world, brown earth-elemental stars and crimson fire-elemental stars began to intertwine synchronously.

My proficiency in multitasking has significantly improved during the two days of intense practice.

"Rugged Rocks and Barriers!"

When the Blood-Striped Troll Rat rushed to within ten meters of Wang Yu, three thick stone walls rose up in a triangular formation.

The troll rat didn't have time to brake and crashed through the first stone wall, then into the second one.

The enormous reaction force drastically reduced its speed, and its skull made a dull thud as it slammed shut, causing it to lose consciousness.

Right now.

Wang Yu suddenly raised his right hand.

"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

This is a mid-level, level one fire spell that he has become increasingly proficient in recently.

A massive fire fist slammed into the face of the Blood-Patterned Troll Rat, and the raging flames completely engulfed the troll rat's enormous body.

The intense heat instantly burned through the tough, blood-patterned leather armor on its back. The troll rat let out an extremely pitiful howl, rolling frantically in the flames, trying to extinguish the fire on its body.

But how could the renowned fire magic be extinguished so easily by simply splashing around?

Ten seconds later, the flames gradually dissipated.

Only a huge, charred corpse remained on the ground, emitting a pungent smell of roasted meat.

Wang Yu walked up to the mud pit that had trapped the giant-eyed gorilla.

He glanced at the dozen or so demons still struggling at the bottom of the pit, and casually waved his left hand.

"Fire-burst - Burst".

A fireball fell to the bottom of the crater, triggering a series of explosions. The crater fell silent instantly.

The four hunters stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.

From the moment Wang Yu appeared until he annihilated more than a dozen demons and a warrior-level monster, the entire process took less than a minute.

"Thank you... thank you so much for saving me." The captain swallowed hard and stammered his thanks. Looking at Wang Yu's excessively young face, a storm raged in his heart.

Such a young mid-level mage? And his control over fire and earth magic is terrifying.

"You're welcome. It was just something I did on the spur of the moment," Wang Yu said casually.

He walked to the charred corpse of the Blood-Veined Troll Rat, skillfully used the dagger he carried to cut open its head, and rummaged around for a while, but unfortunately found neither its essence nor remnants. He only took a few pieces of the strange bone that hadn't been completely burned and threw them into his spatial ring.

"Your mana is almost depleted. Hurry back to the safety barrier. There are many tall buildings in this area, and there might be other general-level demons or groups of slave-level demons active around here." Wang Yu gave this instruction without turning his head, then a flash of brown light appeared beneath his feet, and with the propulsion of the ground waves, he quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Two days later.

With the continued advance of the military forces and the full cooperation of the Magic Association and major families, the demons in Bo City were finally mostly eliminated.

Abandoned vehicles on the main road were cleared to both sides by bulldozers, and traffic began to slowly return to normal.

The military's loudspeakers broadcast a message over the city on a loop:

"Attention all residents of Bocheng! The Level 1 danger alert for the city has been lifted. Please wait patiently within the safety perimeter and do not return to your residential areas without authorization..."

Wang Yu sat on the rooftop of a tall building, looking down at the streets that were gradually regaining some life, and let out a long sigh.

He has barely slept these past two days.

The intense combat experience solidified his earth and fire elemental skills at the mid-level. His control over these two elements had reached a point where it was second nature to him.

More importantly, his ability to multitask is beginning to take shape. He can now cast basic spells while simultaneously drawing star maps for intermediate spells, which is undoubtedly a deadly trump card in the ever-changing battlefield.

"That's about it." Wang Yu stood up and dusted himself off.

With few prey left in the city, he could finally focus on other things.

It's time to reap the rewards of the traps he laid around Bo City before the disaster struck.
