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

"Okay!" Xiao Zhi clapped his hands and stood up, his smile becoming more genuine. He didn't really want to stay in this godforsaken place any longer.

"Since you two want a quick victory, I will naturally cooperate and support you. I'll go and take stock of our manpower now."

Before long, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside, changing from scattered to orderly. Bai Mo and Nan Jue walked out and saw 102 people standing in the small square, lined up neatly.

Xiao Zhi then walked up to the two of them and pointed to the group of monks in front of them, dressed in various casual clothes but all looking very capable, and said:

"I brought one hundred mid-level and one high-level soldiers with me. I am also a high-level soldier. We will now split into two teams. The other team will start from the north to scout and clear out the enemy. I wonder which of you two will be with me?"

After speaking, he pointed to a woman standing at the front of the group. She was clearly leading the other group, and she was another high-level mage.

"I'll go!" Nan Jue stepped forward.

A biting wind howled. Bai Mo stood in the center of the assembled mages, while Xiao Zhi stood on a flat area by the sea, gazing at the island's dense forest.

There is snow on the island, but it is mostly on the beach and in the trees; there is not much snow on the ground inside the island.

Bai Mo's ears twitched, and he looked at Xiao Zhi. "They've already reached the other side of the island along the coast. Let's go."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhi nodded emphatically, his face becoming solemn and serious. He solemnly shouted out a Japanese word that Bai Mo couldn't understand. Then, the fifty people split into ten teams and dispersed into the dense forest of the island.

Bai Mo and Xiao Zhi followed behind these people in an orderly manner. Bai Mo reported the movements and coordinates of each of the Moonlit Rabbits, which reached Xiao Zhi's ears as well as the ears of the nearest teams.

During the day, the Moon-Reflecting Rabbits rest; they only become active at night. Therefore, there is no need to worry that these demons will no longer be in their original positions after Bai Mo reported the coordinates.

For squads of mages, once they knew there was something in that place, finding the Moonlit Rabbit, which blended seamlessly into the environment, became much easier.

"There's one here!"

As ice descended, a mage unleashed a mid-level ice lock, instantly binding the roots of a large tree that was not far from him.

He had just passed by that place but hadn't seen anything. However, upon hearing Bai Mo's telepathic prompt, he activated the Ice Lock and peered in that direction, only to find a rabbit wheeled vehicle, as large as a heavy motorcycle, being dragged out by the Frost Hook.

"Squeak!"

The biting cold and the instinct of being threatened with death instantly brought Yingyue Etu to her senses. Her muscles bulged, causing the ice chains binding her body to crack and pop.

"Quick! It's about to break free!" the mage who had cast the ice lock shouted to his teammates.

His teammates also performed admirably, with various magical lights flashing in an instant, all of which bombarded the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit.

The combined power of the various spells almost instantly tore the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit's body apart.

The same thing is happening all over the forest.

As Bai Mo followed the main group, he said to Xiao Zhi beside him, "Xiao Zhi, there's a nest of Moon-Reflecting Rabbits on a boulder about 300 meters away. There are about 20 of them. You'll need to go there yourself."

"Hi!"

Seeing Xiao Zhi leave, Bai Mo's eyes flickered as he continued to tell everyone the locations of the Moon Reflection Rabbits.

He had just surveyed the area and found that there were quite a few Moon-Reflecting Rabbits, more than five hundred in total, which was equivalent to a medium-sized population.

He had also sensed the sounds emitted by the Moonlit Rabbits fighting against the mage squads, and they did indeed possess the ability to confuse people's minds and souls, equivalent to a Soul-Teasing Melody shrunk many times over.

However, it is more than enough for novice mages and ordinary people.

However, no information has been found regarding the reason for the appearance of the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit.

The only suspicious point is that there is a large pit in the center of the island, but unfortunately it cannot be seen now.

Soon after, Xiao Zhi quietly crept back from the shadows.

"How did it go?"

"Naturally, Mr. Bai's mastery of sound is superb. When I arrived, none of those things reacted."

"I just took another closer look and discovered that the Moon-Reflecting Rabbits on this island now number in a medium-sized population."

Bai Mo glanced at him, "But they are just minor generals after all. Why would they send two high-ranking generals like Xiao Zhi?"

"This..." Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, worried that he might have reservations and be unwilling to do his best to help, but in the end he decided to tell the truth.

"That's right. Some time ago, one of the mages guarding this place reported that he sensed the aura of a commander-level being. Although the aura wasn't very strong, just in case, that's why my Miko came along."

"I see." Bai Mo nodded slightly and then carefully examined the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit on the island again.

But I didn't feel the strong, powerful heartbeat that belonged to a leader, or that unusual physique.

He did not relax because of this, perhaps because the commander was exceptionally good at hiding his true abilities.

Bai Mo thought for a moment and decided to probe the cause of the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit's existence, so he said:

"This Moon-Reflecting Rabbit looks a lot like a Moon-Reflecting Rabbit, and I've never heard of such a demon before. Xiao Zhi, do you know how they came to be?"

"Huh? I didn't expect Mr. Bai to know about the Moon Reflection Rabbit?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was slightly taken aback. Seeing Xiao Zhi's reaction, it seemed that this matter was not as secret as he had thought.

He nodded slightly and said, "I have a friend who is a summoning mage, and I often hear him talk about these things."

"I see, so it's not a secret after all." Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then said:

"Actually, we discovered the special magical materials on Chiba Island more than a year ago. Later, we sent people to explore and find a suitable place to start excavation. At that time, the island was indeed inhabited by Moon Rabbits, but these demons were not very aggressive towards humans and their numbers were not too large, so we ignored them, thinking that once the excavation work was officially launched, we would naturally deal with them."

"Did something go wrong?" Bai Mo asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Zhi nodded emphatically, then instead of answering, asked, "Mr. Bai, do you know about sea spirit beasts?"

"Sea spirit beasts! I know about them. It is said that they control the tides of the ocean and can emit sonic vibrations that can double the tide in a certain place. As a sound mage, I am actually very interested in learning about these sonic vibrations."

"Mr. Bai is truly learned."

Xiao Zhi looked somewhat surprised. He had already realized that Bai Mo was from Kyushu. In his impression, the ocean of Kyushu was relatively calm compared to his own country.

Their country didn't pay much attention to the ocean, but they didn't expect that Bai Mo would know so much about this kind of demon, which was not well known even in Japan.

Nodding slightly, he continued, "About half a year ago, there seemed to be a great battle among the demons in this sea area. A sea spirit beast the size of a small mountain was knocked out of the sea and flew very high. Then it landed in the center of Chiba Island, creating a large crater, and died from the impact. It was possible that it was already dead when it was knocked out."

"Are these Moon-Reflecting Rabbits related to the Sea Spirit Beasts?"

"That's right." Xiao Zhi nodded. "The survey team found it in the center of the island and wanted to bring it back, but they found that this demon's cultivation level seemed to be very high."

Even after it's dead, there's still a layer of sound around it, making it difficult to get close. And because it's embedded so tightly in the ground, we can't remove it quickly, so we're going to leave it there for a while.

"However, they did not realize that the Moon Reflecting Rabbits were attracted by the flesh and blood of the high-level demons, and were not disturbed by the sound domain, and devoured the sea spirit beast."

At this point, Xiao Zhi's face turned grim, because everything could have been avoided if they hadn't been afraid of the trouble.

"The Moon Reflection Rabbits, which devoured all the Sea Spirit Beasts, somehow acquired sonic abilities that can interfere with souls. They then multiplied rapidly and became the Moon Reflection Rabbit clan that now covers the entire Chiba Island."

After listening to Xiao Zhi's words, Bai Mo nodded slightly. It was unexpected, but it was good that there were no unpleasant things as he had imagined.

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. This time, I'll help you eliminate the Moon-Reflecting Rabbits, and these unwanted groups will also disappear in the future. There's a nest of Moon-Reflecting Rabbits 300 meters to the northwest; you'll have to make the trip there."

"Of course," Xiao Zhi said, and headed in that direction.

As the mage squad ventured deeper into the forest, vast swathes of Moonlit Rabbits were wiped out. The stench of blood, combined with the fluctuations of destructive magic, completely awakened the rabbits of the forest.

Unlike ordinary rabbits, these Moon-Reflecting Rabbits, which evolved from the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit, also inherited the Moon-Reflecting Rabbit's habit of loving moonlight and disliking digging burrows.

Therefore, although they were all awakened, they did not all hide underground. It seems that because they had eaten the flesh and blood of the sea spirit beast, these creatures had also become somewhat ferocious.

Instead of fleeing because their kind had been killed by many mages, they rallied together and launched an attack on the mages.

This forced many mages to regroup and come together.

"I can block out their soul-stirring cries, but don't let them get too far away."

Seeing that the ten teams of mages who were fighting alongside Xiao Zhi had all gathered around, and that no one had died, but many had been injured, Bai Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi quickly replied, "That would be perfect!"

The other monks also looked relieved upon hearing this.

At this moment, more than a hundred Moon-Reflecting Rabbits, each the size of a heavy motorcycle, had already surrounded them, encircling this relatively open woodland.

The reason they could see these well-hidden things was thanks to Xiao Zhi's Shadow Mark, which was dark matter he released that would leave a clear and detectable dark mark on the enemy.

To the many mages, however, all around them were shadowy marks that looked like darts moving through the air and closing in on them at an extremely fast speed.

"Defense Mage, prepare your defenses! Water Mage, use the turbulent waves to push these things away!" Xiao Zhi landed on a tree branch like a bird, his voice ringing out.

Upon hearing the commander's order, the numerous mages began to orderly change their formation, and the elemental fluctuations began to surge.

Seemingly sensing the gathering of elements and the fluctuations of magic, the surrounding Moon-Reflecting Rabbits all became restless, letting out screams.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

A barrage of cries erupted like a torrential downpour, crashing down upon them in a dense, inescapable mass, clearly revealing the starlight being manipulated by the numerous mages.

The stars began to stir uncontrollably, and fine beads of sweat involuntarily appeared on their foreheads as they exerted all their strength to control the magic they were wielding.

"quiet!"

Bai Mo reached out and flicked his wrist, and instantly, musical notes appeared, transforming into layers of invisible sound wave barriers that blocked all the noise from the oncoming rainstorm.

In an instant, all the mages were in great spirits, their faces beaming with joy, and their magic flowed effortlessly.

"Surging waves!"

"Surging waves!"

The five mages shone brightly with water, chanting in a continuous stream of spells. Waves of water surged high, destroying trees and attempting to disperse and repel the numerous Moon-Reflecting Rabbits around them.

The water magic had a wide coverage area, and the five waves surged in five different directions, which were able to push back these demons.

However, due to the sheer number of demons (over a hundred) and the obstruction of trees, they were not pushed back a great distance.

Importantly, the watermarks made these demons even more obvious.

"Destruction Mage, attack!"

Xiao Zhi's voice came from above, and then one by one, ice chains formed an ice spear array, and thunderclouds connected to form a sea of ​​thunderbolts, as the Moon Reflecting Rabbits fell in all directions.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Numerous rabbits leaped with incredible speed, their legs kicking out like countless afterimages leaping through the air.

After the thunderbolts and ice spears had all fallen, only a dozen or so demons remained, their blood gushing out.

The remaining demons charged at them again.

Perhaps knowing they had a way to deal with their disturbing cries, these rabbits stopped croaking and instead charged at the group at an even faster speed.

"Rock Barrier!!"

"Guangyou!!"

In an instant, a rocky mountain rose from the ground, and a golden holy shield condensed, surrounding everyone. The rabbit charged against the shield, and the sounds of impact were incessant.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Mo felt the air around him suddenly turn cold. He saw that Xiao Zhi had landed on the ground at some point, and then a drop of ink spread from where he was standing, quickly spreading outwards and covering an area of ​​a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

"Black Demon Pool!"

Then the entire area, soaked in black ink, suddenly shuddered, and demonic claws emerged from the dark pool, each one capable of restraining a rabbit.

The demonic hand tightened continuously, as if grasping a balloon. As the force increased, the balloon was squeezed and swelled more and more until it finally burst open with a bang.

On the numerous black demonic hands caught in the clutches of the demon, the captured Moonlit Rabbits exploded, turning into fragments scattered on the ground.

"Ugh!!!!"

Suddenly, the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees began to sway on their own without any wind, and an extremely sharp cry came from the center of the island.

Xiao Zhi, who was about to deliver another blow to wipe out the fleeing rabbits from the Black Demon Pool, grunted. The fire element gathered on his body dissipated, turning into sparks that ignited the wild grass at his feet.

Bai Mo frowned, feeling as if someone had flicked his head hard. He glanced at the mages lying on the ground clutching their heads, then waved his hand, silencing the shrill scream. (End of Chapter)
