Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 396 It's really here.

The melodious north wind howled across the loess plain, its biting chill carrying a heavy, malevolent aura, echoing across the vast wilderness.

Early in the morning, the fortress walls were already packed with people, all the mages, whether they were on duty or not, had gathered there.

The fortress was basically a ghost town. Most of the people who were supposed to leave had already left, but some stubborn or lucky individuals may have sneaked back in.

None of that matters anymore. The early hours of this morning have passed, and life and death are now left to fate!

On the city wall, the leadership system headed by Wang Teng gathered all the high-end combat forces, and those present were basically high-level mages.

The total number of people is around several hundred, including those who have just entered the high-level stage and those who have already reached the high-level stage and are looking for the path to the super-level stage.

Only Advisor Binwei was present among the Super-Rank beings! There were also the hidden Zhu Meng and Pang Lai, and the last two forbidden spells were Jiang Shaoli and the hidden Wang Teng.

Apart from the Emperor, no demon race in this lineup has the ability to break through this defensive line.

"They're here..." Zhao Manyan gazed at the loess land a kilometer away, where the endless figures of the Underworld Riding Boatmen appeared on the horizon.

Rumble rumble rumble...

The endless chains scraped against the earth, producing a restless whistling sound, and then five Hades Frogs appeared, marching forward in a line.

The rolling loess could not be concealed even by the heavy moisture of the early morning.

throat... throat... throat... throat... throat...

The howls of countless mummified spirits pierced the earth from the ground and echoed across the vast plains. The howls seemed to open the gates of hell, and endless spirits crawled out of the earth!

The entire loess land seemed to have come alive, as if connected to hell!

An overwhelming aura of death surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing against the hearts of the mages guarding the fortress, even distorting the celestial phenomena and turning them into the dark hues of the underworld.

"Gurgle..." ×N

The high-ranking mages were terrified by the sight; their legs trembled and their minds went completely blank.

Only at this moment did they realize how weak and insignificant human mages were in the face of a truly great demon!

This is the procession of the Pharaoh, the king of the underworld of Egypt, and his retinue of undead slaves!

If that were all, it wouldn't be enough to show the prestige of the Emperor of Death. As time went on, Scorpion Lord Medusa, Dark Sword Master, and Evil Scale Pharaoh appeared one after another!

Dozens of mixed monarchical and grand monarchical auras enveloped an area spanning several kilometers, like the commanders of the undead, clearing away all obstacles in the path for the supreme being, the Pharaoh.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the monarch, only a handful of mages were able to remain calm!

"Councilor Wang Teng, what should we do?" Staff Officer Bin was pale. Witnessing this shocking scene made her feel timid and even want to run away.

Not to mention mages who are much weaker than her. This is not something that can be resisted by mere passion. It is the pressure of a higher level of life on a lower level of life. Instinct will make you submit.

Not to mention a direct clash of auras; the fact that no one has run away yet is already a testament to their strong will. As for wanting to counterattack with magic? That would be asking too much.

The drawbacks of magic became glaringly obvious at this moment; overwhelmed by the enemy's imposing aura, their minds went completely blank.

Their spiritual world is like a turbulent sea; how could they possibly connect with the galaxy and communicate with stars through their thoughts? Absolutely not.

All the mages surrounding Wang Teng looked at him, but he alone remained calm and composed, maintaining a relaxed expression.

"Don't be afraid! Since the Pharaoh has shown us such a magnificent display of the underworld, we certainly can't let him look down on us!"

"Let me deliver a generous gift on behalf of the ancient king to welcome them!"

Wang Teng's lips curled up slightly. He had already sensed the traces of spatial fluctuations in the distance behind him. The Ancient King had really arrived!

"Huh?" Staff Officer Bin frowned, not understanding what Wang Teng meant.

"Officer Bin, I'm giving you a maximum of thirty seconds to set up all the protective gear, or I can't guarantee your safety!"

"You could die if you're not careful!"

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he slowly turned his head and looked at her pale face. However, her will was still quite good, and she was not so frightened that she lost her composure.

"Zhao Manyan, protect Lingling with all your might! Listen to me, all your might!"

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot and teleported to the sky hundreds of meters above.

boom!

A powerful aura erupted, intercepting the overwhelming pressure from the group of monarchs!

Wang Teng raised his right hand, and an endless black and red forbidden zone suddenly expanded, dyeing the entire sky black and red.

As he clenched his fist, the magical energy within a radius of nearly twenty kilometers surged wildly, forcefully pulled over by an invisible force, and within just a few breaths, it gathered in his hand, forming a black and red lightning ball the size of a head!

An endless low pressure enveloped the earth, and the rumbling thunder slowly spread out, like a thunderous lion that had just awakened, with the oppressive force of the thunderstorm filling the sky.

On one side was the unique darkness of the underworld, and on the other side was the rage of black and red lightning, which separated the entire sky into two worlds!

Glug~

Glug~

Glug~

The high-ranking mages below stared in horror at the sky above, feeling their bodies screaming wildly. At this moment, they could do nothing but tremble!

"Get behind me right now!!!!"

Staff Officer Bin roared at the top of his lungs, and with every move he made, he activated the Great Wall, instantly forming a majestic ridge nearly a hundred meters high!

She activated all the defensive barriers above the Great Wall, even pushing them to their maximum power at one point.

Seeing the horrifying scene, Zhao Manyan quickly led Lingling to crouch behind the crowd, and continuously cast defensive magic and totem mark enhancements on himself and Lingling!

Even the dozen or so defensive barriers surrounding him couldn't give him a sense of security or warmth; the sky above seemed to be the scene of an epic battle.

The three people hidden inside the fortress watched the clash of auras in the sky with extremely solemn expressions. They had ultimately underestimated the Pharaoh's power.

"A forbidden lightning spell?!"

At this moment, Zhu Meng gasped in horror. Wang Teng's imposing aura was truly terrifying to him.

The ability to grasp energy within a radius of nearly twenty kilometers with a mere flick of the wrist is nothing short of a dreamlike feat.

"no!"

Jiang Shaoli immediately shook his head in denial of Zhu Meng's suggestion. As a forbidden spell, he knew very well that this was not a forbidden spell.

"It must be the forbidden realm of a great celestial being of the lightning element, along with an individual's exceptional skill in using lightning magic, that created such immense power!"

"Not a forbidden spell—it's comparable to a forbidden spell!" Chief Pang Lai, standing to the side, explained with a complex expression and a sigh.

"How is this possible? How come I didn't know?" Zhu Meng retorted incredulously, with countless question marks popping up above his head.

He has now cultivated diligently and is also a fully mastered lightning-type cultivator. He also possesses a top-grade lightning-type domain soul seed, but he instinctively feels that he cannot even touch one-tenth of the opponent's power.

When magic reaches a high or even super-high level, it can manifest quite differently depending on the mage's habits and magical skill.

But it can't be that bad. The other party didn't even have a connection to the Star Palace. This is just ridiculous.
