Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 224 My Ice Crystal Brake

"Hey~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

Just as Li Kaifeng was shocked, Guan Yu and the others were blocking the Chi Lingyao behind them, and Ai Jiangtu was preventing the demon from getting close, a loud roar came from a cave not far to the side.

All they saw was the snowflakes around them scattering, and the ice on the sea surface cracking open with deep fissures, the seawater churning out from beneath. Even the smoky, misty frost in the sky was pierced by the roar that came from the cave!

The roar was closest to Guan Yu and the others, making them dizzy and causing them to instinctively look towards the source of the roar.

"Bang!!!!"

Suddenly, the small hill exploded, and fragments of meteorites rained down in all directions!

A shadow over ten meters long leaped up, still conspicuous amidst the flying dirt and rocks. The figure moved with incredible speed, like a wild goose skimming through the woods, soaring high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The sunlight outlined its shape; it was enormous, with thick limbs, especially its hands and feet, which resembled eagle claws—sharp and ferocious, yet the size of excavator shovels, terrifying and horrifying! A single strike could tear a person to pieces!

Just as the overwhelming aura of the commander-level figure pressed down on everyone's shoulders, Zhou Xu saw the enormous figure leaping up and swooping down on them like an eagle hunting its prey!

"Run! He's coming!"

Zhou Xu cried out in surprise, completely forgetting about obstructing Chi Lingyao. Poor him, he was only a mid-level cultivator with full cultivation, and it was already difficult for him to deal with a few warriors. How could he have the courage to face the commander!

That bright red body moved incredibly fast, like a streak of crimson light shining down from the sky. Apart from Guan Yu, the three of them, relying on Mu Tingying and Zhou Xu's speed, simply couldn't dodge it.

"Quick!! Save me!" Mu Tingying shouted, standing there in terror as she watched the crimson meteor fall. The fierce and ruthless aura of the crimson demon enveloped her, and in her eyes, it seemed as if the entire world was occupied by that crimson figure.

Guan Yu had no say in her affairs. The woman was so frightened that she completely forgot where they were.

All around them were Crimson Demons gathered by the leader's roar. If they worked together, they might be able to escape, but now it was already difficult for him and Zhou Xu to hold off these Crimson Demons.

All I can do now is pray that the armor and magical artifacts my family gave me are strong enough.

"Oh no, they're in danger." Ai Jiangtu naturally saw the crimson rift demon soaring into the sky. Just as the silver throne on his body was mostly in place, the space in front of him rippled slightly, and Bai Mo's figure instantly appeared in front of Mu Tingying and the other two.

"boom!!"

With a loud bang, the red figure was sent flying backward. Mu Tingying and the other two only saw a huge palm shadow outlined by the air wave. With Bai Mo's wave of his sleeve, it collided directly with the crimson Rift Demon falling from the sky like a shockwave, and then the crimson Rift Demon was sent flying like a sandbag.

"Don't just stand there, clear out the demons!"

With a cold shout, Bai Mo caught up with the crimson demon that was flying backward in an instant.

The three then realized that many more Crimson Demons were responding to the Crimson Rift Demon's call and heading towards Mu Ningxue.

The three of them killed demons while keeping an eye on the battle between Bai Mo and the Crimson Rift Demon.

A flash of silver light appeared in the sky. Before the crimson demon even landed, a giant silver sword suddenly materialized, its sharp aura causing the space itself to groan in pain.

"Hey!"

The crimson Fiend let out a shriek and raised its jagged, ferocious hands, covered in exoskeletons, like a pair of fan-shaped shields in front of it.

Suddenly, it felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on it. The heavy force came directly from the giant sword that landed on it. Its two supporting arms snapped with a crack, and its fan-like palms were slammed heavily onto its chest. A sharp pain shot through it. It turned out that the giant sword had pierced into its chest and abdomen!

A jolt ran down its back, and it felt as if countless tiny stones were piercing its flesh, followed by the cool seawater. It had been slammed into the sea by the impact!

Bai Mo watched as the crimson fissure demon was struck into the sea by the heavy sword, a look of vigilance flashing across his face. In an instant, he rode the wind and escaped from the icy crevice.

Just then, a deafening roar was heard, and the ice within a fifty-meter radius shattered. Seawater mixed with the ice fragments, transforming into a towering column of water, like a dragon emerging from the water, swift as lightning, and with the force of a collapsing mountain! It lunged upwards, biting and snarling!

Seeing the sea column looming beneath his feet, its surging power capable of crushing a human in a single blow, Bai Mo realized he couldn't dodge it. In an instant, silver light flowed from his hand like mercury.

"Oh my god! Will Bai Mo be hit and killed instantly?!"

Zhao Manyan, who was watching from a distance, exclaimed in surprise. He only saw the thick column of water suddenly spray up. At the speed of Bai Mofenggui, at such a close distance, there was no way he could dodge it.

"Probably not," Jiang Yu was also watching the battle, originally preparing to do a rational analysis, since the battle was the summoned beast's business anyway.

Suddenly, the dragon-shaped sea pillar, which seemed to carry immense power and could shatter mountains, stopped abruptly at the feet of the person who was moving into the space behind them.

"What...what's going on?!" Mo Fan couldn't help but be surprised. He had also awakened his spatial ability, but he was still completely confused and couldn't understand Bai Mo's actions at all.

"It must be a time-lapse space; Bai Mo stopped that sea column."

"No! Space compression!?" Ai Jiangtu's pupils suddenly contracted. He was also an expert in this field, and after a careful observation, he denied his previous subconscious guess.

Bai Mo's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the vast expanse of stagnant seawater at his feet. Through the murky water, he could also see a huge, eerie black shadow.

"Get down!"

In an instant, the light in his eyes seemed to brighten even more, and the gravity of the compressed space beneath his feet increased once more, directly overpowering the control of the crimson fissure demon over the seawater within the sea pillar.

Like an arm wrestling match, with overwhelming force, he forcefully pushed the seawater under his control back to the surface. Only a gigantic, crimson monster, its body shimmering with brilliant rainbow light, remained suspended in mid-air, unable to find any foothold and forced to plummet downwards.

"Isn't it said that time delay is necessary to dodge attacks? Why do I feel like this was completely forced back?" Zhao Manyan looked at Jiang Yu in confusion.

"How would I know? I don't have any spatial abilities." Jiang Yu shook his head, then sighed, "But the captain is really strong; he can actually overpower the commander."

"I feel the battle is almost over." Mo Fan stared at the distant battlefield.

Bai Mo didn't give the Crimson Rift Demon a chance to return to the sea. With a powerful mental strike, he sent it hurtling towards the center of the island.

At the same time, the silver hairpin spear flashed and appeared in his hand.

Using this thing in a fight with humans can result in crippling at best, and death at worst, so he rarely uses it. But when dealing with demons, he has no concept of martial virtue.

Then the crimson demon landed on the ground and managed to steady itself. The deep wound on its chest reminded it that it couldn't escape unless it tore this human to pieces.

Therefore, the moment he landed, a crimson shadow flashed, and the crimson rift demon appeared in front of Bai Mo in an instant. Its long claws were like several sharp knives, slicing down towards Bai Mo.

"ban!"

An ancient pattern seemed to flash in Bai Mo's eyes, and a circle of silver light spread out. The commander in front of him seemed to be frozen in time, and even his eyes did not change. It took several seconds before his claws could be seen to fall even slightly.

Five-star review.

A flash of silver light appeared in his hand, and a horizontal spear thrust out, easily piercing the head of the crimson demon before him and collecting a precious essence.

"He died just like that?" Mu Ningxue was a little stunned. She only needed to condense frost, so she could see the battle on the island very clearly, but she still died a little too quickly.

Ai Jiangtu stared thoughtfully at the silver spear Bai Mo had retrieved. Guan Yu, however, thought to himself with certainty: 'That demon-slaying weapon is absolutely top-tier! It pierced the crimson demon's head so easily!'

With their leader dead, the remaining Crimson Demons were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs, and were quickly wiped out by the crowd.

The group arrived at the crimson demon's corpse and marveled at the sight of the wound pierced by the silver spear, from which a sharp aura emanated. Guan Yu curiously cut open the wound, only to find it completely shattered inside, causing them all to gasp in shock.

"Captain, that gun of yours is incredibly destructive! Whose masterpiece is it?" Guan Yu couldn't help but ask.

"It was found in an ancient site; I don't know anything about it."

"It's a pity that its destructive power is too strong; the National Games probably won't allow its use." Ai Jiangtu frowned, somewhat regretfully.

"No need. My magical artifact is meant for killing." Bai Mo smiled gently, but everyone felt a cool breeze blowing around them.

"Is there no cost to using that magical artifact of yours?" Mu Ningxue asked.

Bai Mo glanced at her, guessed what she was thinking, and shook his head. He said meaningfully:

"Sharpness and destructiveness are inherent attributes of this gun. Ordinary commanders cannot stop it, powerful ones can block it for a while, but even more powerful demons cannot be penetrated by the Silver Hairpin Gun. What it gives me is the power to end battles quickly, not the power to fight beyond one's level."

Bai Mo had actually tested the Silver Hairpin Spear's power with Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng could block ordinary attacks using her fire and spatial abilities.

An attack infused with all of its magical energy could pierce Jiang Feng's defenses, leaving some minor wounds.

Monarch-level beings, even those that are only sub-monarchs, each have their own defensive methods, which are obviously not so easily broken by the Silver Hairpin Spear at this stage.

Bai Mo thought that perhaps he needed to reach the Super Rank, or have the Silver Hairpin Spear unsealed again.

After hearing Bai Mo's words, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

Nan Rongni's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself:

"That silver spear looks powerful, but its attack area is actually quite small. It only managed to kill the commander in one strike by using a trick. Its attack range and area are both inferior to my Ice Crystal Bow. It's just intimidating to look at."

In her view, the Ice Crystal Bow was already hers; she was just letting Mu Ningxue nurture it a little.

After leaving the island, they met up with Zujiming, who was guarding and watching over the ships, and the group returned to Asuka City.

"I've checked, and these kinds of missing child cases aren't isolated incidents. In the past few years, Asuka City has seen over three hundred such cases!"

Nan Jue spoke coldly about their investigation results. Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Nujiao stood to the side, distributing copies of the missing children's information to each of them. She glanced at Bai Mo and continued:

"This problem of missing persons had actually become rare after the large-scale purge a few years ago, but now it has become a common phenomenon in Asuka City, and it's even affecting children!"

"Is someone covering this up? Does Lin Junxian know about this?" Jiang Yu asked.

"That bastard! We've worked ourselves to the bone killing demons, and he's still hiding something from us! Let's go find him right now!" Zhao Manyan stood up angrily.

Bai Mo raised his hand, gesturing for him to sit down. He glanced at everyone in the room, his gaze finally settling on Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue.

Did you take any photos when you examined those two babies?

The two men's expressions turned serious, and they both nodded.

"That's good. We must keep evidence of everything, otherwise it will be difficult for us to bring the person behind the scenes to justice."

Bai Mo nodded, but Mo Fan said, "Lin Junxian manages such a large area of ​​commerce in Feibiao City, so he should know some things. Let's go ask him."

"No, that would easily alert them." Bai Mo shook his head; he didn't want to go looking for Lin Junxian.

Lin Junxian did have some knowledge of the children's incident in Asuka City, and some members of his family had even been harmed, but he didn't know much; being a witness was enough for him.

He was too conspicuous and relatively upright, clearly someone targeted and watched by those in the shadows.

In the original story, when the members of the National Government went to Lin Junxian's place, they learned that his family had also lost face because the sea monster liked to eat children. His sister's second child was immediately taken away by the sea monkey monster, which was somewhat of a coincidence.

"So what do we do next? Out of caution, we'll use the existing channels; this is all we can find out."

Nan Jue frowned. Considering Bai Mo's intention to conduct a covert investigation, it was already an effort to find out all this in such a short time using only a few types of mages.

"The demand for over three hundred infant hearts is obviously huge, and they need the help of the Crimson Demon to cover it up. These infants will need a place to be placed during this process," Mu Ningxue said.

"That's right! Xuexue, you're so smart! We can check if there are any baby supplies in warehouses or similar places near Asuka City."

Mo Fan slapped his thigh. "Maybe we'll run into those guys guarding the warehouse and then trace them all down!"

"Hmph!" Zu Jiming scoffed. "Feiniao City isn't small, with so many warehouses. Do you think you can investigate them all?"

He glanced at the group. "We're going to Venice. We've already completed Lin Junxian's mission. Getting to Japan is something the Asuka City government can't handle. Do you think you can solve this with yourselves?"

"If you ask me, let's not get bogged down in the details. We've already found out these things, so let's leave the rest to our mentors. We should head to the National Palace of Japan instead."

"If you're scared, you can stay here and cultivate obediently. I don't expect you, you stupid thing, to do anything!" Mo Fan immediately spoke sternly, his eyes full of disdain.

"What do you mean?!"

"It's nothing. If you think the lives of three hundred children are less important than your national team competition, then go ahead and go. I'll stay here!" Mo Fan didn't even glance at Zu Jiming.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

"Alright, Zu Jiming just wants to get the National Government's seal as soon as possible." Bai Mo spoke, and the entire room fell silent. "Anyone else who wants to join can form a team and go to Japan first."

Upon hearing this, Zu Jiming glanced smugly at Mo Fan, but seeing that Mo Fan didn't even look at him, he felt a lump in his throat and then looked at Li Kaifeng, with whom he had been chatting.

Li Kaifeng stared at Mu Tingying, unmoved by his gaze. Mu Tingying, meanwhile, sat calmly in her seat, reviewing her documents.
