Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

The setting sun, like blood, cast its last rays upon the one-eyed wolf's mountain-like body just as it was about to disappear behind the mountain.

When his gaze fell on the shadow beneath the demon's corpse, He An suddenly had a thought and blurted out a few words as if possessed.

"Stand up."

The shadow beneath the corpse began to writhe, and a cloud of dark purple mist emerged from it, spiraling upwards along the one-eyed wolf's body and transforming into a cocoon of light that enveloped its entire form.

The dark purple light inside the cocoon flickered, emitting a sound like a heartbeat. As the light danced, it seemed as if some ancient, savage beast was about to be born from it.

"Holy crap, what the hell is going on?"

He An was startled and retreated rapidly.

Watching the demonic wolf transform into a cocoon of light warily, the somewhat dim shadow-type star track in his hand condensed again, ready to disappear into the shadows and escape at any moment.

The basic Shadow skills are not ideal in terms of damage output, but they are excellent for escaping.

"Click!"

Cracks finally appeared on the outer shell of the cocoon, and the cracks spread out in an irregular radial pattern in all directions, growing larger and larger.

"Click click click!!!"

With a series of crisp sounds, the cocoon shell shattered completely.

A wolf's paw, shrouded in dark purple smoke, stepped out, followed by its raised head and entire body.

In no time, a demonic wolf made entirely of shadows leaped out from the shadows beneath the corpse.

Wherever it passed, the mist that formed the cocoon of light shattered and wrapped around its body.

The jet-black fur and dark purple smoke flew together, wildly billowing in the cold autumn wind.

Its two eyes gazed intently at He An, still carrying some of the beastly aura of its former life as a one-eyed demon wolf.

This was not the oppression and intimidation of weaker creatures based solely on his large size, but a genuine aura of power!

A physical arena belonging to the general-level warriors!

This is mental pressure powerful enough to drive a mid-level mage to mental breakdown and cause their star chart to collapse!

It has broken through; this is a Shadow Wolf of the Warrior level!

"Waaaaah~~"

To He An's surprise, it seemed to have no hostility.

With its two front paws bent, it lay prone at He An's feet.

It gently rubbed its head, as large as a cartwheel, against He An's trouser leg, emitting soft whimpers to show its friendliness and submission.

The star trail in his hand quietly dissipated, and the seventh star at the end suddenly shone brightly, drifting shakily toward the center of the demon wolf's right eye, where it settled.

After taking the demon wolf into his shadow, a flash of understanding appeared in He An's eyes.

This is his unique, innate talent of the mutated shadow element: [Shadow Monarch]!

The ranks of mages are divided into: beginner, intermediate, advanced, super, and forbidden spells.

The corresponding demon levels are: servant level, general level, commander level, monarch level, and emperor level.

The ability granted by the Shadow King is that each of his stars is enough to support a Shadow Soldier of the same level as himself, and the seventh special star can support a Shadow Soldier of a higher level than himself!

In other words, although he was only a junior mage who had just mastered the first level of basic magic, he was already able to assemble a squad consisting of six servant-level demons and one warrior-level demon.

This is a setup that even an elite mid-level mage squad might not be able to secure a victory with!

The most absurd thing is that the strength and number of this squad will expand rapidly as He An's Shadow Element cultivation improves.

The intermediate star chart has 49 stars, the advanced constellation has 343 stars, and the forbidden star chart has a terrifying 16807 stars!

This means that as long as He An's shadow element continues to grow, wherever he stands, that place will become a vast demon empire, a mobile black forbidden zone!

Moreover, theoretically speaking, this demon empire could even have 16807 demon emperors!

This is a walking, humanoid abyss of evil spirits, containing a staggering 16807 demon emperors!

With such combat power, even if all the demons and mages from the magic plane, the dark plane, and the summoning plane were tied together, they could be easily crushed!

"What are you babbling about? What race, friendship, bonds? Go tell my imperial army!"

"So it's an alliance of demon mages? I thought it was a speed bump!"

Originally, He An was considering whether he should give up Mingzhu Academy and go to Jimei University in Xiamen to study the Shadow Department, but now it seems that he no longer needs to.

If the mutated Shadow type still needs to be wary of Superman, then He An, who possesses the Shadow Monarch talent, can already happily be Superman.

Just as He An was shocked by the incredible power of this ability, a military mage who was playing with flames in his hand walked up the mountain path, muttering something under his breath.

"How on earth did these damned dire wolves find the Sacred Spring?"

Upon seeing the demon wolf's corpse, Zhan Kong's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

He sensed some remnants of shadow magic in the vicinity; he had only seen this level of black magic on a handful of people.

But those important figures would never appear in a small place like Bocheng.

"Could it be the Black Vatican? Are they planning to attack the Earthly Holy Spring?"

Zhan Kong couldn't help but think of the infamous and heinous Black Vatican, and for a moment he frowned and pondered.

At this moment, He An was unaware that, due to the release of his rudimentary magic, suspicion had been drawn onto the true culprit, the Black Church.

After leaving the mountain behind the school, He An slowed down and blended into the crowd of people at night.

With each step He An took, a small ball of dark purple light gradually emanated from his body.

A few breaths later, a completely new person appeared in the crowd.

This is a little trick from the information He An received, which can change one's appearance.

Looking at the mirrors in the shops along the street, He An nodded in satisfaction.

The person in the mirror had soft features and a sunny, cheerful demeanor; he was completely different from He An in terms of handsomeness, making it impossible to find any resemblance.

It seems that this innate talent has many wonderful uses waiting to be developed.

----------------

The moonlight peeked out from behind the clouds, shyly looking down at the old residential area below.

It was already past midnight, and the old town was pitch black, with only a few small houses still casting a faint glow. He An's house was one of them.

He An's biological parents disappeared after giving birth to her, leaving behind only a dilapidated house in the old town.

He was raised by the neighbors here, and he lived up to their expectations, getting into Tianlan Magic High School on his own merit.

In the courtyard, He An summoned the Shadow Wolf from the shadows.

This is his seventh star's shadow soldier, the first legion commander of the Shadow Legion, and also his first family member.

"I need to give you a name..."

He An scratched his head in distress; this was a real challenge for someone who was terrible at naming things.

"How about I call you Xiaobai?"

"Waaaaah!!"

The little white creature, entirely black, let out a protesting whimper.

"Don't you like it?"

He An gently stroked its soft, black fur.

From He An's perspective, in the center of the Shadow Wolf's right pupil, a small, dark purple star was emitting a peculiar fluctuation; that was He An's seventh star.

"Huh?"

It suddenly raised its head, seemingly curious about what its owner was thinking.

The starlight of the entire sky is projected onto the surface of its dark pupil, and the star in the center of the pupil reflects the starry sea that is billions of light-years away.

"Just kidding, I'll call you... Star Chaser!"
