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

Chapter 284 Mountain Soul Protection

An Ruo exclaimed in disbelief.

But all that could be seen was the explosive growth of the aura of the numerous vampires draped in blood-red tentacle cloaks, who instantly reached the level of commanders!

"Berserk Blood Iron Wall!"

Dark red energy surged from the hands of numerous vampires like flowing water, converging into a surging dark red blood river that surrounded them.

The river of blood collided with the oncoming wind and lotus, and the storm formed by the convergence of many magic spells, causing a violent explosion.

However, when the storm subsided, the blood-red river remained, leaving everyone in disbelief.

"Miss, you should run! There are so many vampires, we can't hold them off!" A guard immediately advised An Ruo upon seeing the situation.

"Yes, miss, we can still hold them off for a while. You should go now; we don't need to worry about these people!"

"Fool! Look behind you! If we don't deal with them, none of us will escape!"

An Ruo shouted angrily, and the guards looked behind them and saw that the original archway had long since turned into a high wall. This place had become a dead city with no way out.

Bai Mo also frowned. More than fifty commanders, even if they had only just reached the commander level, it was still a qualitative change. How could they possibly stop them?

At the same time, he was extremely surprised by the improvement in the strength of these vampires. Even when they participated in the Relics Trial in Korea, those Beast Soul Rock Demons, relying on their racial talents, did not achieve such a terrifying improvement.

"It's those blood-red tentacles!"

Mu Nujiao said that at this moment, the vampires were shrouded in the dark red river, so it was not possible to see them all, but it was still easy to make inferences based on the changes just now.

"Quick, get out of the way!" Jiang Shaoxu cried out in alarm.

Ahead, the crimson rivers formed by the vampires churned and rolled, resembling a working war fortress, with countless blood-red arrows bursting forth in a dense barrage!

Behind the dense rain of arrows, vampires spread their wings and swooped down, their long claws opening and closing like the hands of demons, cold and sinister.

"Guangyou!"

"Rock barrier!"

Bai Mo frowned and activated his defense, blocking the incoming rain of arrows. He then turned his gaze to the vampires rushing towards him.

More than fifty of them appeared, except for the two elder vampires. They carried the residual power of the dissipated blood river, like cannonballs with great destructive force!

A distance of a few hundred meters is but a fleeting moment for these vampires. When Bai Mo saw that most of the vampires had come to his side, his heart sank.

These vampires wanted to hold him back and prevent him from escaping using teleportation. As for why the two vampire elders didn't move...

It's just the same old tactic of demons fighting humans: wear them down first, then finish them off.

"Swish swish!!"

In the blink of an eye, the attack arrived instantly. More than twenty vampires surrounded them, and dark red claws with a cold light came at them with sharp tearing dark light. Numerous afterimages of demonic claws filled the area around them, and they were covered by dark red claw light from all directions!

The attacks were dense and overwhelming, leaving no room to dodge. Jiang Shaoxu had already put on his armor and magic tools, but he still felt that he would be torn apart by the dark light claws that filled the sky at any second!

Mu Nujiao was also pale-faced, and the plant shield she had just released was torn apart almost instantly.

Despite suddenly facing a life-or-death crisis, they remained relatively calm, and their hands continued to draw defensive magic.

But putting aside their magical defense, their drawing speed is already slower than the speed at which these attacks land.

However, while these attacks came quickly, Bai Mo's magic was even faster!

"Space Crystal Wall!"

"Sound Barrier!"

"style!"

Three different colors of starlight flashed one after another. First, a spatial crystal wall composed entirely of hexagons, like a honeycomb, fell down and surrounded them.

Then, numerous strings converged, and the surging sound waves formed a semi-transparent dome in the air.

Finally, the bluish-white wind flowed, forming a square grid that enveloped the three of them.

Click!

Click, click!

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the triple defenses shattered at a visible speed under the tearing force of numerous claws.

"Guangyou!"

"Hundred Flowers Shield!"

At this moment, Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu finally unleashed their magic to punish, with Jiang Shaoxu even using her less-than-skilled light magic.

The golden light clung to the emerging steel bud shield, and with a crisp click, it immediately took over the protective task.

A dark golden starlight shone in Bai Mo's eyes, and a strange dark golden emblem spread and grew from his feet outwards.

The patterns flickered incessantly, as if breathing, with tiny specks of dark golden light merging into them with each breath. Upon closer inspection, the rhythm of this breathing was identical to the dark golden light flashing in Bai Mo's eyes…

As if calling for something, the dark golden patterns grew brighter and brighter, expanding outwards until they gradually covered the ground beneath An Ruo and the others' feet.

"Mountain Soul!"

A dark golden light suddenly burst forth from Bai Mo's eyes. He raised his hands, and an extremely rich dark golden light poured down from them. Instantly, this light flowed and rose along the patterns, like flames burning on these patterns, as if it were a final summons.

"May you be blessed!"

As the spell was cast, the simple yet mysterious patterns on the ground suddenly shone brightly, and a dazzling dark golden light spread out like resin, instantly covering the space where everyone was!

As you can see, the claws of the vampires waving down are all blocked by this dark golden light. One layer is shattered, and another is broken. The layer upon layer of dark golden light extends from in front of everyone to about ten inches around them.

But no matter what, this ten-inch golden light could not be broken!

"The mountain spirit's protection won't restrict our attacks, attack now!"

Seeing An Ruo and the others standing there in a daze, Bai Mo immediately reminded them.

A few days ago, out of boredom at sea, he upgraded his mid-level earth magic to level five, which became the Mountain Soul Blessing.

This is a powerful defensive skill that can summon the spiritual rock power of a mountain with the power of the star map, transforming it into the guardian rock spirit light to resist enemy attacks.

However, one downside is that summoning the mountain spirit's rock element takes time. During this period, his earth element can only maintain the star map protected by the mountain spirit. If he is in the sky or the ocean, the summoning will be more difficult, and vice versa.

He is now using the power of the mountain beneath his feet to defend himself. Unless these vampires can destroy half of the mountain in an instant, their current attacks will not be able to break through the mountain spirit's defense.

At the same time, his hands moved quickly. Almost without taking a breath, the surrounding air rippled, and one after another, gleaming silver blades appeared out of thin air, slashing towards the tentacles connecting the palace behind the many vampires.

Compared to ordinary rock barrier defense, his Mountain Spirit Protection has the advantage that his vision will not be blocked by the rock barrier, and he can move more freely because the soul light is with him.

"Clang clang clang~~~~~~!!"

The sounds of metal clashing echoed continuously as seven silver streaks of light descended, embedding themselves in the tentacles attached to the backs of the vampires. With a sharp look, Bai Mo remained unmoved, and in an instant, seven more silver blades of light fell, severing the tentacles completely.

"I never knew there was such a thing as earth magic."

Hearing Bai Mo's reminder, An Ruo couldn't help but curiously glance at the soul light on her body. She immediately used the Holy Whisper Enhancement again, strengthening the defenses of everyone.

She also knew that the changes in these vampires were related to the tentacles on their backs, so she immediately ordered her guards to attack the tentacles.

Meanwhile, Mu Nujiao knew that now was the perfect time to attack, so she immediately began to use magic. Jiang Shaoxu was not good at destruction, so she only used mental magic to assist him.

In an instant, many vampires' tentacles were shattered, losing their power and quickly returning to normal. Their attacks weakened, and more and more vampires were injured.

"Heh heh heh! Not bad, you do have some strength." A strange laugh came from the elder vampire jazz standing in the distance. "My children, don't worry, attack with all your might!"

"The Dark Blood Transformation!"

The vampire lord roared, and a surge of dark energy appeared on the severed tentacles. They miraculously gained a new life force and began to grow again, instantly reconnecting with the vampires whose tentacles had been severed.

After these tentacles connected, some vampires who had been beaten down to only half a body and were struggling to recover with little success were suddenly revived. As if injected with the source of blood, their regenerative abilities were greatly enhanced, and in the blink of an eye, most of their crippling injuries had healed.

"Damn it! Keep attacking! Their life force isn't inexhaustible!"

Upon seeing this, An Ruo's expression immediately turned ugly, and she took matters into her own hands.

A brilliant golden light emanated from her palm, and a dense golden sphere rose into the air, like a small sun, casting down its radiance to dispel darkness and evil spirits.

The soft yet incredibly bright sphere of light seemed to be no ordinary radiance; the power it contained was many times stronger than that of ordinary radiance.

As the nemesis of dark magic, light is undoubtedly powerful, but sometimes darkness can also devour light. However, Anruo's light is not an exception; even the darker aura emanating from the two distant vampire elders is instantly driven away by this brilliant golden light.

And those tentacles connected to the vampires were melting away bit by bit under the light.

As the channels for transmitting power narrowed, the strength of these vampires decreased.

"Everyone, bring out whatever you've got. My light won't last long." Seeing that his light-based abilities were having an effect on these dark red tentacles, Anno immediately said.

"Big Orange, Wind Spirit, go!"

Bai Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately summoned the Divine Dust Tiger. At the same time, he released the Wind Spirit from its possessed state and sent them to deal with some vampires whose strength had been reduced to the pseudo-commander level.

Anruo's actions gave him an idea: since these vampires were difficult to kill in a short time and had life force to replenish their strength, it would be easy to destroy the hard-won gains.

So it would be better to restrict or nip this recovery ability in the bud, and he instantly came up with a solution.

He released Feng Ling and Da Ju, and his hands emitted crimson lightning. Strands of lightning carrying an aura of destruction flickered and instantly spread outwards from the ground beneath his feet. Any vampire on the ground was struck by the strands of lightning under his lightning field and immediately became slow to move.

"Thunderbolt - Electric Chain!"

With a raised finger to the sky, terrifying tribulation clouds gathered, and in the blink of an eye, bolts of lightning fell. The dense lightning was like spears thrown down by the gods in the sky, capable of piercing gold and splitting stone, and with a violent roar, it swiftly fell on the heads of the vampires.

His lightning was a spirit-level spell, a mid-tier magic, and no vampire dared to take him seriously. Now that they were at the commander level, even if they were at the bottom among the commanders, their strength was still different.

The low-level mid-tier lightning magic, enhanced by the spirit seed, could not harm them, even though it was a level five lightning bolt.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The thunder roared like a stampede of ten thousand horses, and lightning rained down like a storm, striking the vampires and the crimson tentacles attached to their backs, instantly freezing their expressions and movements.

"How! How is this possible!"

Unbelievable roars erupted from the vampires. The falling lightning bolts linked together, forming a dense sea of ​​thunder that whipped, lashed, and exploded onto the vampires.

Neither the powerful lightning bolts that struck first nor the countless electric whips and thunderclaps that followed caused any serious damage to these vampires; at most, they only experienced some tingling in their muscles.

However, it can be seen that as these vampires were struck by lightning one by one, their bodies withered at a visible speed, and their life force disappeared at an extremely fast rate under the endless lightning strikes.

Whether it was their own life force or the life force transmitted from the tentacles behind them, they were all fighting against the crimson lightning and the destructive power contained in it.

"Ah! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Some vampires, unable to bear the constant cycle of destruction and restoration of their lives, and terrified that the lightning would wipe out their entire lives in the next second, screamed madly and charged toward Bai Mo.

However, with the protection of the mountain spirit, Bai Mo was completely unmoved by these attacks. With a wave of his hand, another wave of lightning descended, the dense crackling of electricity resembling the cries of a hundred birds.

This time, no vampire dared to forcefully meet the attack. The strange lightning did not pose much of a threat to them at their current state, but its special effect would continuously deplete their life energy and disrupt the transmission of life energy through their tentacles, which was extremely detrimental to their combat.

However, even though a vampire managed to dodge a bolt of lightning with incredible speed, the intensity of the lightning chains far surpassed that of the Frenzy.

One strike might miss, but a single movement could potentially hit even more. Moreover, the electric chains maximized the conductive properties of lightning. Whenever a vampire was struck by lightning, the lightning bolts from the surrounding explosions would swarm towards them like sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

What's even stronger isn't the destructive power and speed of the lightning itself, but the chains of electricity that explode after it falls. These are the networks of electricity, interconnected and branching out to form smaller networks that cover all the vampires.
