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

Chapter 255 Everyone's a Villain

"I'll do it!"

However, Lu Yilin stepped forward out of the crowd. He hadn't done much along the way, fearing he might be replaced later. Seeing that Ai Jiangtu, Mu Tingying, and the others didn't seem very interested in dealing with these demons, he immediately stepped forward.

"Light rained down, covering the ground!"

Lu Yilin opened his hands, and strands of starlight flew out like golden ribbons, quickly sketching a star map and building constellations around him.

In the blink of an eye, the constellations shone brightly, summoning a curtain entirely composed of golden light, which transformed into countless golden shuttles that fell upon the red-eyed sheep and deer in all directions.

Lu Yilin's strength is not bad; at least the power of his magic is decent. It seems he used some kind of item to enhance light magic.

His Lightfall Spread was far more powerful than that of a typical Light Mage with a Spirit Seed. Half of the fifty-odd War General-level Crimson-Eyed Sheep-Deer that attacked him fell instantly after being swept by his circle of light.

The remaining half were immediately overwhelmed by the rest of the team.

The group continued forward and encountered several more waves of demons. Although they dealt with them easily, these encounters significantly slowed down their progress.

"Bai Mo, I feel like something's not right."

"After dealing with the seventh wave of demons blocking our path," Nan Jue suddenly spoke up.

"There seem to be too many demons trying to stop us!"

Nan Jue said, "We didn't travel in a straight line along the way. Of the demons we encountered, only one group was originally located on the only road we could pass through. The rest came from all directions on their own, as if they were specifically lured here by something."

"Someone's sabotaging us!" Zhao Manyan raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't they go in sooner? Instead, they're blocking us here. That genius is so self-destructive!"

"I've heard that even when such relics appear, there isn't a clearly visible entrance. You have to find a trigger to get in," Jiang Yu said, seemingly remembering something.

"So, some teams arrived before us, and they haven't found a way to enter the ruins yet. So they sent people to stop other teams from advancing."

Mu Nujiao analyzed the situation, then frowned slightly. "But how did they manage to get these demons to attack us?"

"Poison-based, mind-based, and plant-based methods are all possible," Nan Jue said.

"Let's keep going and wait for their next move. I'll investigate with you then," Bai Mo decided, and the group continued on their way.

With a team and all the necessary talents, even though Bai Moyin was stronger than Nan Jue and his combined wind and earth skills were faster than Li Kaifeng and Guan Yu, he didn't do any reconnaissance or command work.

After traveling a little over a mile, Bai Mo, who had been keeping an eye on the movements in the forest, immediately heard a slight whooshing sound, followed by a slightly short but heavier breathing sound.

Then came the sound of wings humming, only three of them, as inconspicuous as the sound of wind rustling leaves. If he hadn't been so perceptive with his sonic senses, he wouldn't have noticed it.

His gaze shifted almost imperceptibly in that direction, and he told Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng to search in the direction from which the breathing sound was coming. The group continued forward.

As the buzzing sound of flapping wings drew closer, the heavy footsteps of large demons running behind them also followed.

"The demons are coming." As soon as Nan Jue finished speaking, everyone stopped in their tracks.

Bai Mo looked in the direction of the footsteps. The buzzing flying creature was still approaching. Gradually, as dust rose in the distance, Bai Mo could see clearly what it was that was attracting these demons.

Three little flying insects!

Bai Mo reached out and flicked his wrist, sending a string flying that shattered three flying insects obscured by smoke and dust in the air.

After glancing at the numerous Wind-Sweeping Tigers attacking, Night Rakshasa, perched on Jiang Yu's shoulder, transformed into a wisp of smoke and swept past.

The black fox darted among the many tall, muscular tigers. With each flash, a tiger would collapse to the ground, its throat ripped open.

Before a group of Wind-Stirring Tigers could even get close to them, they were dealt with by Night Rakshasa, a single cat.

"They're here."

Bai Mo looked to his left rear and saw Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng using shadow nails to bind someone as they walked over. Judging from the signs of battle on their bodies, the capture process was clearly not easy.

"Someone's really sabotaging us!" Zhao Manyan said. "A bunch of scoundrels, we'll beat them all up when we get there!"

No one echoed him; everyone was watching the person Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng had brought back.

This is an Asian face, male, with a very Korean appearance. If it weren't for his Adam's apple, it would be hard to tell that he is a man.

The man looked at them arrogantly, shouting to let him go, and ignored the questions from Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng.

"Who are you? Why are you obstructing us?"

Seeing this, Ai Jiangtu stepped forward, and the Evil Spider Trap fell down without warning.

The pale-faced man's expression changed instantly upon seeing the scarlet spider silk, and he hurriedly cried out:

"No! Don't do it! I'm Park Nam-seung, a national team player for the Korean team. I admit I was wrong. You can ask for any compensation you want, but you can't kill me!"

"Why are you stopping us?"

Ai Jiangtu ignored him and asked again. At the same time, the giant scarlet cursed spider moved closer, its whole body exuding a sinister aura. From a distance, they seemed to be the villains who were carrying out the conspiracy.

"Our captain has a deal with the Russian team. Knowing he couldn't win against them, he chose to help Russia get the reward. It was the Russian team that tried to stop you, it has nothing to do with me!"

Ai Jiangtu chuckled, "Hmph! What a bunch of rotten, spoiled brats!"

As he spoke, he pushed the person away from his curse magic. Then he looked at Bai Mo.

"What are you planning to do?"

"It would be best if we could resolve everything outside the ruins. With so many of us, having more teams wouldn't be enough."

Bai Mo smiled wryly; he wasn't exactly a saint either. The other party wasn't interested in fair competition, which was fine, since he hadn't planned to either.

"The captain is right. So what should we do with this person?" Mu Tingying asked. The Mu family believed in the survival of the fittest and had never been people who couldn't stand the dark side.

"Let's bring him along. We can use him to exchange for some things with the Goryeo team. His surname is Park, so no matter what, there should be people in the Goryeo government who listen to him. The Park family has the qualifications for the Goryeo government's selection."

Zhao Manyan sized up Park Nam-seung with the same look he gave him as if he were looking at a rare treasure, revealing his true nature as a cunning businessman.

"He can also guide us so we don't get lost." Jiang Yu stroked his chin.

"I think we should just leave him here. This guy isn't trustworthy. With the captain and Old Ai around, we can find a place for him."

Nan Jue, however, felt that bringing them along would be troublesome and could easily expose their strength.

Bai Mo glanced at them and thought, "Very well, none of them want to just let him go and shake hands and make peace."

He said he couldn't become a good person because he was surrounded by bad people. No wonder, no wonder!

The group's words made Park Nam-seung's already pale face turn even paler. Seeing Ai Jiangtu put the anti-magic bracelet on this person, Bai Mo nodded slightly, making his decision.

"Take him with you, let's continue on our way."

Without the person who had been obstructing their way, Bai Mo and the others easily reached the entrance to the ruins.

This is a vast, open hillside, and intense spatial fluctuations are emanating from the very center of the hillside.

There weren't many people on the hillside, only three with Korean faces. Judging from Park Nam-seung's appearance, he should be a member of the Korean National Guard.

"Hey! You three, where are Jin Fei and the others?!"

Before Bai Mo and the others could speak, Park Nam-seung immediately asked in an arrogant tone.

The three men looked at them warily. Upon hearing Park Nam-seung's words, one of them said, "They've all gone in. We'll stay here and keep watch."

"You people of Kyushu should just give up. Release Nan Sheng now, and then slink back to where you came from. You have no chance of finding a way into the ruins."

A girl with burgundy hair and a tally mark drawn on her arm said proudly.

Hearing their words, Park Nam-seung's face darkened. It was one thing for those guys not to take him along, but more importantly, they even left behind a few useless substitutes to mock the Kyushu team. Couldn't they think about his safety?

"Whether you can get in or not is not up to you, you slutty little bitch," Mu Tingying retorted without any politeness.

"Get out of the way, or you'll regret it." Li Kaifeng said, his wind blade already drawn.

"Hmph! Do you think we're easily intimidated? Don't think that capturing Nan Sheng will make a difference."

Before the girl with burgundy hair could finish speaking, Park Nam-seung flew up and crashed down on them.

The silver light in Bai Mo's eyes flickered uncertainly, and a silver ring spread out, immediately bringing the surrounding space into his perception.

"Don't waste time talking to them. I've found the entrance. Let's go in quickly. Every second we waste here will mean even greater losses inside."

Within the realm of space, his control over space is already extremely powerful. Finding a spatial entrance whose operating mechanism has been in place for thousands of years is a piece of cake.

As soon as the domain enveloped this area, Bai Mo discovered that the fluctuations in this space had a certain pattern. In almost the blink of an eye, the frequency of the spatial fluctuations gradually weakened, then gradually strengthened, and then dropped.

At its strongest, a node leading to the inner space ruins connects to the surface world space.

It's like there's a platform that moves at high speed between two spaces. To enter it, you need to use spatial magic precisely and land on that platform.

Or, the moment the platform comes into contact with the surface world, seize the opportunity, move forward decisively, and enter the spatial node.

"Entrance! Tch, you think you can compete?" The girl with wine-red hair sneered disdainfully.

Bai Mo ignored her and, facing the questioning and puzzled gazes of the National Team members, locked his eyes on a spot two meters to his left. Instantly, his eyes shone brightly like the starry sky, and the entire area covered by his spatial domain glowed with a faint silver light.

"Certainly!"

Now even those who weren't spatial mages could sense that the spatial fluctuations in the area locked by Bai Mo were becoming even more intense.

Silver ripples spread through the air, each one brighter than the last, until finally a spatial vortex, about the width of a person and radiating a mysterious silver light, appeared out of thin air.

"How is this possible! It took Lallislov oppa almost half a day to find the spatial node! How could you find it on your first try?!"

The girl with burgundy hair exclaimed in disbelief, and the other Korean trainees, including Park Nam-seung, also looked incredulous.

Bai Mo's actions clearly challenged their understanding of power.

The Nationalist team members were alright; having witnessed Bai Mo's incredible performance, their sensitivity had already decreased significantly.

Unless Bai Mo kills a monarch or a super-level mage on the spot, most of them will not be so shocked.

However, Ai Jiangtu was not among them. As a fellow space mage, he could clearly see that the node after the spatial vortex was shaking violently, trying to return.

Bai Mo didn't just discover a spatial node; he clearly bound it to the spatial node, making it seem like he would only start the journey once they were on board.

"Let's go in."

Maintaining this state consumes a lot of magical energy, so as soon as the spatial vortex appeared, Bai Mo immediately stepped into it.

The others quickly followed, with Mu Nujiao lagging slightly behind. After leading everyone inside, she turned around, a rainbow flash in her eyes, and a vine whip appeared, giving the Korean team members a severe beating.

Only then did they step inside.

The teleportation at the spatial node was very fast, almost like a long-distance spatial teleportation array. After a moment of unbearable spatial disorientation, everyone found themselves in another region.

It was all gray and hazy, the land was flat and there was nothing there.

In the far east, there is a towering mountain range, at least 500 meters high, like a pillar of heaven in this dimension.

Turning around, they saw a gray expanse behind them, where the land ended abruptly. A strong sense of danger warned them not to attempt to set foot in that area.

"There are sounds of fighting over there."

Nan Jue pointed to the mountain peak in the far east.

"In planes like this, which are modified by contracted spaces, there are usually some summoned beasts or groups of contracted beasts guarding them. It seems they've been blocked."

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a guess.

"We'll know once we go over there. It seems that the tomb of this sage should be in that direction," Mu Nujiao said.

As they continued their journey, they noticed that as they approached the mountain, the land gradually began to show signs of life, with even wild grasses appearing.

The mountains in the distance were even larger than they had appeared before, looking exactly like a thick and majestic city wall stretching across the entire space!

At the summit, one can vaguely see a giant tiger, carved entirely from the mountain rock, lying coiled up. Its surface has been eroded and cracked by time, but its majestic and imposing aura remains undiminished!

As they drew closer, the sounds of fierce battle grew clearer. Amidst the rumbling and trembling of the mountains, one could see various demons, including tigers, leopards, and wolves, all with earthen-yellow coats, chasing after the twenty sorcerers.

"This is a Beast Soul Rock Demon, an elemental creature that mostly resembles a ferocious beast. An adult Beast Soul Rock Demon has at least the strength of a Great War General. It is said that this kind of demon has long since disappeared, but I never expected to see it here."

Jiang Yu exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the massive, imposing rock creatures.

"Stop lamenting, run! Those guys are coming at us!"

Zhao Manyan shouted, and the Russians and Koreans seemed to have spotted them and were fleeing directly towards them.
