Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 125 Running Away at Dawn

After a while, Wang Teng felt that his mental magic power had recovered to about 70-80%, and he prepared to make another move.

Moreover, dawn is approaching, and once all the spirits return to the underworld, he'll be finished.

This time, he was planning something big, targeting a place haunted by the undead, where the death aura was exceptionally dense.

He guessed that there must be a necropolis below, so he planned to make a big commotion to see if any advanced-stage undead leaders would come out.

"Spiral Spear!"

Wang Teng stood in mid-air, casually conjuring a two-meter-long silver spear, and hurled it down towards the place thick with deathly aura.

boom!

The entire land was overturned, and large amounts of soil swirled and scattered everywhere. The writhing undead servants there were all crushed by the reversed spatial power.

A huge black pit, tens of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide, has appeared!

Roaring sounds...

The countless undead howled and roared, and the black pit of corpses was filled with surging undead. The shattered bones of the undead that had been blasted apart became the fuse that enraged them.

Wang Teng's eyelids twitched, and his figure disappeared, retreating hundreds of meters away.

A black figure, several meters long, flashed past that spot, leaving several claw marks several meters long, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

Roar!

Failing to ambush Wang Teng, it roared in anger, unleashing a massive sonic boom that swept outwards like a Category 12 typhoon, blowing everything within hundreds of meters away.

"Advanced Commander!"

Wang Teng's eyes lit up; this aura had reached a level almost equal to his own.

However, this guy has a huge disadvantage: his entire body is in a semi-skeletal state.

"Airquake!"

A fighting spirit flashed across Wang Teng's body as he vanished, suddenly attacking the leg joints of the humanoid giant undead.

Click~

Wang Teng punched the joint, and the space seemed to crack open like a mirror. The kneecap shattered, and bone fragments scattered everywhere like petals falling from the sky.

A black light flashed across Wang Teng's position, cutting a deep trench tens of meters long, but no blood flew out, and his body slowly dissipated like a phantom.

Click~

With another sharp crack, the enormous undead figure finally lost its footing and collapsed forward.

"Divine pressure from the sky!"

boom!

The enormous undead figure crashed down rapidly, sinking several meters into the soil, causing the earth to tremble and the ground to shake violently.

"Binding and summoning spirits!"

Wang Teng's casting speed was incredibly fast; a combination of attacks left the giant undead with no time to react.

A phantom of a soul was slowly pulled out from the enormous figure, but its resistance was extremely strong.

Wang Teng's outstretched hand gripped with great difficulty, as if he were engaged in a soul-wrenching struggle with that guy.

"Don't give up yet!"

"Shadow of Fear!"

"The Shadow of Sloth!"

……

He kept casting negative emotions at the creature, constantly trying to break its will to resist, and the effect was surprisingly good. After a few swipes, it became much easier to pull.

A minute or two later, a huge phantom of a soul was pulled out, but it was missing two lower legs. After its consciousness was shattered, it rapidly shrank under Wang Teng's uneasy gaze...

"It's done! The essence!"

Wang Teng was overjoyed when he saw the bright green light. He quickly took another vessel containing the souls of the dead and put it into his internal space.

Then they quickly dug open the skeleton and found the huge undead crystal.

Suddenly, the entire world trembled. Wang Teng instinctively entered the void and teleported away from the place.

In the void, Wang Teng broke out in a cold sweat. The aura he had just witnessed had reached the level of a Great Monarch, and the moment it appeared, his hair stood on end.

Because that aura was specifically targeting him, and that overwhelming malice triggered a stress response in his body.

After Wang Teng left, that aura seemed to lose its target and quickly dissipated.

"Phew, that scared the hell out of me!"

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the black snake was also aroused, but because he retreated too quickly, it only moved for a moment and then fell silent again.

He did not enter the Qinling Mountains again, but turned around and teleported towards the ancient capital.

Before long, he returned to the ancient capital. However, it was already getting light, and many small breakfast shops had begun to open for business.

"Boss, five fried dough sticks and two bowls of soy milk, please!"

Wang Teng skillfully sat down at the small table set up outside the shop and started ordering food. It was a long-lost feeling; it seemed like he hadn't eaten like this in quite a while.

This trip yielded far more rewards than he had imagined. Not only did he obtain a large amount of Earthly Sacred Spring, but he also felt that there was potential to further explore the Soul Binding and Soul Dispelling techniques.

Soon the fried dough sticks and soy milk arrived. He tasted the slightly burnt and sweet fried dough sticks and quickly calculated the value of those resources in his mind.

"This trip has brought in a little over 70 billion. I wonder if Tang Zhong can handle all that essence."

"I guess it should be fine. Leng Qing is so rich, there's no reason why Tang Zhong wouldn't be rich."

"Spirit essence is a scarce resource that can be easily sold anywhere."

Wang Teng was eating a fried dough stick when suddenly an alarm sounded in the city.

Waaaaah...

"What's going on?"

"Don't panic, young man. You're not from the ancient capital, are you? This kind of alert is just a normal one. Don't be afraid."

Seeing Wang Teng's astonished expression, the boss immediately smiled and offered an explanation.

"Oh, I see~"

Wang Teng continued to sit calmly and eat his fried dough sticks, still thinking that the great monarch had caught up with them.

After leisurely enjoying his meal, Wang Teng took out his phone, paid the owner, and then strolled leisurely towards the street.

"Hey~ Are you awake yet?"

As Wang Teng made a phone call, he watched many running figures of mages gathering towards the city wall.

"Hmm~ Not yet..." Tang Yue's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Help me arrange a meeting with your uncle at noon. I have a considerable number of spirit essences, worth billions, including some at the commander level."

"I should be able to fly back around this afternoon."

"What? A spirit worth billions?"

"Okay, I understand!"

"That sounds like an alarm over there. Are you alright?"

On the other end of the phone, Tang Yue's voice immediately perked up, revealing concern in her words.

"Yes, I'm doing fine here. I was busy all night."

"That's all for now, let's talk again when we get back."

After waiting for a while, Wang Teng hung up the phone, then saw a taxi not far from the roadside and waved it down.

The taxi driver understood and quickly pulled up in front of them.

"To the airport!"

After getting into the car, Wang Teng said something and then leaned back in his seat to rest with his eyes half-closed.

The driver immediately set off for the airport, but due to security regulations, he couldn't go too fast and had to give way to the mages.

It took Wang Teng a while to get to the airport, and by then it was already bright outside. He didn't miss his flight and took a plane back home.
