Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 205 Eye of the Storm

The power of heaven and earth always fills people with awe; you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

I originally planned to stay for a week before leaving, but on the last day, Manila was hit by its first typhoon of the year.

"Truly astonishing power!"

A group of people stood around the glass curtain wall of the hotel, watching the torrential rain pouring down from the sky, accompanied by fierce winds.

A large number of trees in the distance were blown down, vehicles were drifting and tumbling on the streets, and the heavy rain had created a vast expanse of water on the ground.

At first glance, it resembles a scene from the apocalypse.

The trip was forced to be canceled; it was impossible to travel in such bad weather.

"This storm really came out of nowhere. It was sunny and calm yesterday, but when I woke up this morning it was raining heavily." Jiang Yu clicked his tongue in admiration as he looked out the window.

"These kinds of extreme weather should be predictable, but there are no extreme weather forecasts in the area. It's really strange." Nan Jue's face was full of doubt.

"No matter what, I'm not leaving today. Anyway, I won't have to worry about food and drink here." Zhao Man stretched and yawned. Staying in his own hotel was so comfortable.

Nan Rongni's eyes were filled with worry. As a family with a thorough understanding of the ocean, this kind of weather was not normal at all.

This isn't China; if something happens here, you basically have to rely on yourself. The Manila priests' belief in fighting demons isn't nearly as strong.

"Are you alright?" Mu Tingying noticed that her complexion wasn't good. Even though she had been relegated to the bench, as her follower, she still needed to keep an eye on her.

"It's nothing~" Nan Rongni quickly composed herself and shook her head in reply.

……

The Misty Islands connect to the Pacific region, where three overwhelming forces are clashing. Two enormous black shadows are sinking into the ocean, while the third figure is a towering misty giant, whose power is in no way inferior.

None of the three terrifying giants made a move; they simply remained in place, none of them willing to take a step back.

The intense forces collided, steaming up water vapor from the sea surface and surging into the sky, thus creating a huge storm. Centered on the three, they gradually converged into a vast eye of the storm.

The eye of the storm drew large amounts of water vapor from the surrounding area into the clouds. Upon encountering the low temperatures at high altitudes, the vapor condensed into thick cumulonimbus clouds, which gradually spread towards Manila along with the high-altitude air currents.

The clouds in the sky gradually became unable to hold the increasingly thick moisture, and halfway through, they turned into a torrential downpour. At the same time, they compressed the air, forming a gale, and the two mingled together as they swept in.

The three major demon leaders naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. A little drizzle was not within their scope of attention. Demons cannot lose their pride. In fact, if any of them retreated, they would likely face an attack from the other two demons. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is not just something that low-level demons do; they do it too.

The torrential rain, imbued with the aura of top-tier demons, naturally triggered a frenzied riot among the sea monsters. Normally, the waters near Manila are considered a safe zone, but today they were breached by the demons from the outer seas.

From time to time, sea monsters would land on the outer coastline of Luzon Island. Fortunately, the entire coastline is surrounded by high mountains, so ordinary sea monsters cannot get through.

The only thing to worry about is the flooding caused by the torrential rain, which has led to urban flooding, and some mountain demons have followed and rushed into the city.

Manila Magic Association Building.

This place is home to most of the city's top magicians. From the early hours of the morning until now, not a single person here has dared to leave on their own initiative; they are all on standby.

In the hall, a large screen that detects demonic threats hangs on the wall, displaying the Pacific side of the Misty Islands, which is currently a blood-red expanse.

The area stretched all the way to Manila, but its color began to change, and the level of danger gradually decreased, but that didn't mean it was gone.

Various red dots have appeared in the city, indicating that many demons have entered the urban area, and these demons are a threat.

Faced with this extremely unfavorable environment, they must organize and dispatch more urban monster-hunting teams to eliminate them, and if necessary, they will also need the support of high-level mages.

"These damned demons... thankfully they didn't launch a large-scale attack on the city."

"Ah Jie~ Don't sigh like that, everything's alright~"

"How can you still laugh? Staying in this godforsaken place is terrifying. I should have stayed in China."

"At least... the domestic environment isn't that bad."

The black-haired man in the corner stared at the large screen, his gaze fixed on the blood-red area, which was so far away, yet it still affected this place.

No, this is no longer just an influence, this is a calamity caused by demons... If they attack, what will happen?

The middle-aged man with blond hair standing to the side had a look of deep disdain and contempt in his eyes. There's no such thing as a world where no one dies.

Even without the threat of demons, they act as if the city they live in is very safe. Mages who wield magical power are more hateful than demons.

Those bastards are like vampires... Just thinking of that pure and beautiful face from his memory fills his eyes with intense hatred.

He even hoped the sirens would invade so they could all be wiped out!

The entire hall was filled with a tense atmosphere. Many people had stiff faces and didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of making a noise and becoming the most eye-catching person.

Compared to them, the mages fighting on the front lines are truly miserable, braving harsh winds and torrential rain to clear out the demons that have infiltrated the city.

In this environment, the power of many elemental magic spells is greatly affected, and they even rely on demon-slaying tools to hunt monsters. If they encounter sea monsters, their danger will increase dramatically.

Just as they finished their chat, a woman with an exotic look, dressed in a business suit, came up to them.

"Master Liu Jie, this is a high-level order signed by the guild leader. Please follow the newly formed demon-hunting team to eliminate the demons in the city."

The secretary, with a serious expression, handed over an A4 sheet of paper, placed it on the other person's desk, and turned to leave, not caring whether he wanted it or not.

In any case, a considerable number of foreign mages come here every year, and since they are here, they naturally need to contribute when it matters.

"Tch~ fuck!"

"They don't arrange for so many local high-level mages, but they keep targeting us outsiders."

Liu Jie muttered curses under his breath, his face flushed an unnatural red, clearly angry. He could even feel the gloating gazes from all sides.

But he didn't dare to refuse. He had gone to such great lengths to get into the Magic Association, so was he going to just quit like this?

If he were to quit, all his previous efforts would have been in vain. The thought of the ridicule he would face after quitting made his heart feel as if it were being gripped tightly by a mysterious force, filling him with fear.

Amidst the disdainful and pitying gazes of his middle-aged colleague with blond hair, Liu Jie took a deep breath, picked up the paper on the table, and left.
