Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 577 A Dilemma

As time went on, forbidden spellcasters in Tokyo quickly mobilized, attracting the attention of many other spellcasters who enjoyed a bit of excitement, who sensed the sweet scent of a secret.

So they all followed suit, heading towards Mount Fuji without prior arrangement.

The mountainous environment is quite treacherous, filled with all sorts of demons and poisonous insects, and because it is near the sea, the humidity is extremely high due to the condensation of water vapor.

As a result, many lurking plant-type demon groups exist, as well as many strange, dense groups of poisonous insect demons.

These challenges were merely a bit difficult for experienced hunter mages, but they couldn't stop them from moving forward.

Various insect repellent powders or simply poison magic are used to control poisonous insects, and then a narrow path is carved out to pass through.

If you encounter plant-type monsters, just go around them or burn them down with fire. There's no need to worry about the consequences.

As long as they can get through smoothly, whether it will trigger a riot by demons is not their concern.

The demon riots are no big deal. After all, there are so many roads in the mountains. We can just take a different route on the way back. If we can't solve the problem, can't we at least avoid it?

As for those who are careless, lack strength, or are simply unlucky, they naturally become free takeout delivered to their door by demons.

However, on the other hand, hunters who dare to face wild demons and poisonous insects are confident in their own strength and unique methods, so the possibility of them dying halfway is not high.

There were also some high-level shadow mages who simply used Shadow Escape to get there, and their speed was so fast that they even got ahead of that forbidden spell mage!

"Damn bastards...you're forcing me to kill you all!"

Oda Tetsuya stared with murderous intent at the shadow that had overtaken him and run ahead, his heart filled with extreme rage!

He had received orders from the Mochizuki clan chief of Osaka Castle to deal with these bastards with ruthless force.

If he neglected his duties and let someone sneak in, then when that person comes, he will be held accountable for his sins!

The deaths and injuries of top-tier mages during the process of unifying the entire nation's powerful clans are still vivid in my mind.

Those who fared slightly better were forced into the Hall of Heroes ahead of schedule, which was considered a dignified endeavor.

But he felt he was still young and wasn't in a hurry to go into retirement and live out his second life.

Thinking of this, Oda Tetsuya angrily activated his Winged Magic Tool, transforming into a streak of light and swiftly chasing after the Shadow Mage!

The forbidden spell unleashed its powerful aura, startling the high-level shadow mage who was traveling ahead. He even stopped and looked back.

In just a few breaths, he saw the menacing figure rushing straight towards him from the sky, which made his heart pound!

"My esteemed master, is there anything I can help you with?"

George, speaking fluent international English, suppressed the urge to turn and run, and spoke with the figure rushing towards him.

"You didn't know? Then what are you doing here?"

Oda Tetsuya's face turned red with anger. He floated in mid-air and roared loudly at the people below. This guy was still pretending to be stupid.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I have no obligation to report to you, esteemed Archmage!"

George spread his hands and responded with a smile, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief; so it wasn't a chase after him after all.

The other party's aggressive demeanor was like that of a demon, which was quite frightening. Are all the people in this country this strange?

Or is it that these people who cultivate to the level of a Dharma God all have some unique quirks in their personalities?

Oda Tetsuya was both angry and amused. This guy had blatantly run up to him, acting like he wanted to take the credit, and yet he spoke so nonchalantly.

"I am informing you that the area around Mount Fuji is now sealed off. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter, or you will face the consequences!"

"You better not let me see you up ahead!"

Oda Tetsuya squinted and spoke, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down before passing over the other person's head and continuing towards Mount Fuji.

Tokyo is only a hundred kilometers away from Mount Fuji, and with the flight speed of a top-tier Winged Magic Tool, it would take less than half an hour.

George opened his mouth, turned around and watched the other person leave, not knowing what to say, but his curiosity was suddenly piqued.

If he was initially just curious and interested, now he has a reason to go and see for himself!

It's already unusual for a forbidden spellcaster to be mobilized, but now a warning has been issued. What exactly happened at Mount Fuji?

George's eyes flickered, so he changed direction and continued forward. At his speed, he could definitely catch up with this guy and see what was going on.

As for the other party's warning, he believed that the other party, given their status, wouldn't stoop to his level, and even if he encountered them, he was confident he could get rid of them.

This stemmed from the confidence of a high-level shadow mage; otherwise, if he hadn't stopped, that guy wouldn't have been able to catch up with him at all.

George used Shadow Cloak again, transforming into a shadow and teleporting swiftly in another direction towards Mount Fuji.

As he sped up, even taking a detour, he still reached the foot of the other side of Mount Fuji within a few minutes.

George looked up and was immediately astonished by the layers of ripples in the space and the surging gray-red ash in the sky.

Everything is telling the same story: an alternate dimension has appeared here!

With his knowledge and experience, he could almost instantly figure it out, and immediately understood why Tokyo had dispatched a forbidden spellcaster.

A newly born alternate dimension represents the unknown; this undeveloped virgin land signifies endless treasures!

This kind of wonderful place deserves all the attention it deserves!

However, this also put him in a difficult position. According to international practice, such a precious land should theoretically be managed by the country where it appears.

It's clear that the island nation already knows the details, and has even deployed forbidden spellcasters, showing how seriously they're taking it.

Looking at it this way, he doesn't have much time left!

George took out his mana ring and put it on, summoned his armor and magic tools, and drank a potion beforehand. The next moment, he once again used Shadow Disappear to head towards the mountaintop.

He completely ignored the chaotic battles between demons, avoiding them whenever possible, and taking detours if he couldn't avoid them. Apart from monarch-level demons who might be able to interfere with him, the other demons didn't have that ability!

"You're asking for death, so I'll grant your wish!!!"

As George moved halfway up the mountain, he heard a furious roar from the distant sky. Clearly, the residual fluctuations of his super-level shadow energy had been detected by that forbidden spell mage!

He accelerated again and used Shadow Cloak to move towards the mountaintop, covering over a thousand meters in just a few breaths, and arrived at the rocky area.

There is very little shelter here, just steep rocky ridges. At the same time, it is very close to the crater at the top of the mountain, and the scorching hot jets have already turned this place into a steamer.

"Fak..."

George's face was extremely pale. He realized that he had been careless. Once he entered this layer of rubble, the temperature of the air he was breathing suddenly reached over 100 degrees Celsius!

Moreover, the surging spatial ripples seemed to be carrying him into some place, but the force was not strong enough.

He was caught in a dilemma. He knew that the mountaintop might be a portal to another dimension, and that he would be automatically pulled in once he got there, but he had no idea what the inside was like.

The outside was already terrible, and he could hardly imagine what the environment inside would be even worse, or whether he could cope with it, especially since there was a magic god blocking his way from behind.
