Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 102 Overcoming the Period of Weakness

The next morning, Wang Teng carried the exhausted and sleeping Tang Yue to the depths of the cave to check on the condition of the Xuan Snake.

"Has the skin already begun to shed?"

He saw that the black serpent's size had shrunk considerably, and its aura was steadily increasing; it seemed that it would be able to complete the task soon.

Without external interference, it molts very quickly.

So he turned and left, went to the cave entrance, found a rock to sit on and enjoy the breeze.

The weather is quite nice today, with fluffy white clouds in the sky and a pleasant temperature.

Wang Teng was comfortably basking in the sun, scrolling through his phone. Mo Fan had already sent him a reply confirming the completion of the commission, and even included a screenshot of a news article as a confirmation.

He smiled and then looked at the new news. Soon, a flood of news came in, all about the White Demon Eagle attacking Hangzhou.

There are many pictures; someone risked going to the West Fortress to photograph the white eagles flying all over the sky.

Below the news article, there are countless refreshed comments.

"Have these birds gone mad? Why are they attacking Hangzhou like this?"

"It's over, it's over, I'm dead."

"Yesterday it was still an epidemic, and the person in charge hadn't been found yet. Today it's demons attacking again. It's truly one disaster after another."

"Those at the bottom of society can only pray!"

"Those damned corrupt officials, they'll make money off anything!!!"

"Damn it..."

"Brothers, I'm hiding in my basement right now. Here's a 'shivering' JPG for you guys to see."

"Great idea!"

"Digging is underway..."

……

Wang Teng searched through the photos for a while and found many pictures taken at the scene. The battle situation was not bad, and the defense line had not been breached. However, the specific damage was unclear.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Tang Yue, who had been fast asleep, woke up. She was so tired from the night before that she took a nap for half a day.

Seeing herself in Wang Teng's arms made her happy.

"Get up. It seems the Black Serpent has finished molting. Let's go take a look."

Wang Teng patted her bottom and put away his phone.

"Carry me." Tang Yue clung to him like a koala.

Having no other choice, Wang Teng helped her up and walked deeper into the cave.

They ventured deeper and deeper until they arrived at the location of the Black Serpent. At this moment, its size had shrunk considerably, but its life force was even more profound.

A huge snake molt lay on the cave floor. The black snake saw the two people huddled together, so it twisted its body and slid over.

"This should help your recovery!"

Wang Teng opened his personal space, and three elemental magic diamonds containing intense energy fluctuations were spat out from the vortex and landed in his hand.

One is a water-type magic diamond, and two are attribute-free magic diamonds. The energy of the three is enough to make up for some of the damage and allow the Xuan Snake to quickly get through its weakened period.

"Hmph~"

The black snake's eyes lit up as it stared intently at the three pastries; it had never seen such delicacies before.

The energy tides in the cave surged with the three elemental magic diamonds, which gives you an idea of ​​how much energy they contained.

"Open your mouth~"

Without the slightest reluctance, Wang Teng tossed the three elemental magic diamonds toward the mouth of the Xuan Snake.

The black serpent happily opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the three magic diamonds. With the help of the magic diamonds, its body energy rapidly absorbed the surrounding magic energy and became stronger.

The water-based magic diamond, in particular, had the greatest effect on it.

"I didn't expect you to still have these three magic diamonds. Thank you."

When Tang Yue saw this scene, she wished she could put her heart into Wang Teng's body. Such a generous treatment of the totem was truly unique.

"Don't mention it. What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need for such formalities."

Wang Teng patted her in a very roguish way, and Tang Yue looked quite pleased, hugging him even tighter.

The two guarded the black serpent, watching it recover rapidly. The scales on its body began to slowly turn dark blue, a sign of its recovery.

As evening approached, the Xuan Snake's aura had recovered from its weakness and reached the level of a Great Monarch, but it would still take some time before it could fully recover to the level of a Supreme Monarch.

With this molt, its strength made a final leap, reaching the level of a supreme monarch, which is the pinnacle of monarch status.

The only thing that can be improved is combat power; that's the limit for the level of life.

To improve in the future, one will need the power of higher-level demons as a stimulus to undergo transformation.

Having reached this level, the Xuan Snake has actually reached its limit. The Emperor level seems very close, but in reality, it is very far away.

The once-every-ten-year molting habit has come to an end. Molting is useless if you want to break through to become an emperor, so there is no need to molt anymore.

"Hmph~"

The black snake nuzzled Wang Teng with great gratitude. It was thanks to the other party's supplies that it was able to recover so quickly this time, shortening the period of weakness from more than ten days to about one day.

"You're welcome. Get some rest tonight, and we'll decide whether to go back tomorrow based on the situation."

Wang Teng smiled and patted the black snake's head, while holding the beautiful woman in his other hand. His operation had yielded some results.

"I'll talk to everyone later. I want it to stay with you, so at least it won't become a target of schemes again."

Tang Yue said seriously, she was frightened by this conspiracy. This time Wang Teng was involved, but what about next time?

They were lucky to have defended against it once; why would they fall in the same place again?

"Well, that's good. Hangzhou already has so many military mages, imperial guard mages, and the Magic Association. This force is already powerful enough."

"They're usually quite idle while the Black Serpent is intimidating them; they should be the ones doing the defense themselves."

Wang Teng agreed, saying that Hangzhou had been peaceful for far too long compared to other cities, with very few demonic attacks and only small-scale disturbances.

Humans should protect their own territory. The Xuan Snake is just doing all the work for free. Humans are supposed to protect the totem?

Are you sure it's not the other way around?

Tang Yue rolled her eyes at him, gently jumped down from his embrace, and then began to explain the situation to Xuan She.

The Xuan Snake likely trusted the two of them the most, especially Tang Yue, who, as a monarch-level creature, was by no means lacking in intelligence.

Tang Yue's narration helped it understand the complexity of human society, and its escape from this calamity was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Wang Teng is clearly very capable in terms of both understanding and shrewdness; at least his handling of this incident was very precise.

Tang Yue has always been very shrewd in her calculations and was able to assess situations accurately.

This incident shows that the masses can sometimes be blind and easily swayed by emotions. If the leader has malicious intent, the consequences can be severe.

She could no longer gamble with people's hearts; losing even once had already filled her with fear, almost causing the Xuan Snake to perish.

How could she accept this? Her feelings for Xuan She were deeper than anyone else seemed. Without Xuan She, half of her world would collapse.

Rather than trusting more people, she preferred to trust Wang Teng, who had been reliable for the past few years and had never caused her fear or anxiety.
