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

The phrase "I can handle two thousand" stunned the three officers. Nan Yao, who had just blocked a large cluster of zircon rays, said in a rough voice:

"Kid, don't try to show off. Think before you brag. These scythe rats have strong defenses, unlike the dust storm gnats."

Bai Mo remained silent. The moonlight emanated from him like ripples on water, spreading outwards from him to both sides and into the sky.

The moonlight spread its vast radiance across the vertical plane of his space, like the sleeves of a fairy from the moon palace draped down.

Suddenly, the sound of rushing water arose, and then, silently, one by one, dark spacetime tunnels drawn with moonlight appeared on the moonlit sleeve curtain. Each spacetime tunnel was a hundred meters wide, and they practically occupied the entire space!

The dense sound of water emanated from those time-space tunnels, converging into a heavy, rumbling sound.

Immediately afterwards, Staff Officer Shao and the others saw wide rainbow rivers flying out from the moonlit space-time tunnel!

There are twenty-four spatial passages, and twenty-four rainbow rivers. The rainbow rivers are composed of teams of jade dragon fish, with each team consisting of one hundred fish.

Furthermore, twelve rivers, led by a colossal dragonfish, flowed like divine warriors descending from the heavens, converging into a mighty river as they thundered towards the attacking horde of the Hokkaido Demon Rat.

The rainbow-colored river danced, beautiful and dreamlike, but its sheer number and majestic aura shook the hearts of Staff Officer Shao and his companions.

More than two thousand! More than two thousand summoned beasts, all of them great generals, their auras no weaker than those of the Hound Demon Rats, and among them were twelve commanders!

Such a summoned beast force could easily be mistaken for an entire race!

No wonder Bai Mo was so arrogant, daring to claim he could handle two thousand of them; it turns out that was just a humble statement.

Originally, the three staff officers had similar ideas: one person would go all out while the others would cooperate in the attack to defeat these jackal demon rats.

As for killing them all, even though they are super-level beings, it would still take a lot of effort.

It's important to know that there are fifty-five Great Commander-level Hound-Gnaw Rat inside. The fact that Nan Yao rated their defensive capabilities as extremely strong means that these Hound-Gnaw Rat commanders can withstand a normal super-level magic attack without dying.

Even if they couldn't dodge the magic of Advisor Spoon and the others, their strong defensive capabilities were enough to protect them, given that their subordinates had already used up their magical power.

In short, dealing with it is quite a troublesome matter.

At that moment, another narrow beam of moonlight appeared beside Bai Mo, and as Feng Ling appeared, her monarch-level aura was unmistakably revealed.

As soon as Feng Ling appeared, without saying a word, he flashed to the front of the Jade Dragon Fish Legion, leading his large and small underlings like a general as he charged towards the Hoopoe Demon Rats.

Seeing this, the staff officer and others were speechless. Now that a legitimate monarch had been added, what help did they need?

A series of crashing sounds, like rolling thunder, echoed as the vast horde of dragonfish and the equally dense swarm of demonic rats clashed in a fierce battle.

In their first encounter, the dragonfish, aided by their innate ability to breathe water, gained a significant boost in combat power and quickly achieved a major victory, scattering the demon rat horde.

Then came a head-on clash. The Jade Dragonfish were entirely carved from solid jade, and strictly speaking, they didn't possess any flesh and blood. It wouldn't be unreasonable to say they were a group of jade carvings that had come to life. The Hoopoe Demon Rat was even more formidable, its fur seemingly made of a hard zircon alloy, equally indestructible.

When the two collided, it was like a pile of falling rocks hitting the rocky ground, a contest of which was harder. The dragon fish slapped its tail, and the demon rat reached out with its claws, both producing a series of metallic clangs.

The two sides were locked in fierce combat, and the three staff officers couldn't easily intervene, only keeping a close eye on the battle. Due to the numerical disadvantage, the dragonfish swarm was originally no match for the demon rat swarm, but unfortunately, Feng Ling was among them.

The boost and pressure brought by a monarch-level ally are immense, and most of the commanders of the Haxor Demon Rat have been taken over by the Wind Spirit.

The rest was left to the Dragonfish Commander. Meanwhile, Bai Mo was not idle either. He kept waving his arms, and with each wave, a hundred silver spear phantoms were thrown out, accurately hitting the seriously injured demons and reaping their lives.

As a mage specializing in both sound and space magic, the current predicament wasn't so dire that he couldn't take action. At that moment, Nan Yao said:

"Whitey, watch your mana consumption."

"I know."

Bai Mo responded casually. He had summoned so many beasts at once that his magic energy was running out, but he could still last through a battle.

Beneath a view unseen by others, spirits are being drawn into the Soul Refining Pot by Jingwei.

Bai Mo could sense that Jingwei clearly preferred the higher-level souls like the Duststorm Demon Grasshopper compared to the low-quality souls of the Duststorm Demon Grasshopper.

Actually, he didn't necessarily need to use summoning to deal with these demon rats. It's just that he couldn't finish off the monsters by using other spells and teaming up with Advisor Shao and others.

There's no reason not to accept these takeout orders delivered to our door.

Once Daju and Jiaoyue are promoted to monarchs, they will still need to nourish Xingzi with spirit essence. We'll collect some while we can.

While finishing off the enemy, Bai Mo watched as Feng Ling battled over forty-odd Fiend Rat commanders.

These demons are indeed very strong defensively, partly because earth element is effective against wind element. In any case, these guys are not seriously injured by the wind spirit yet.

However, at this moment, the leaders of the demon rats also appeared outside the demon rat swarm under the influence of the wind spirit's mental abilities, which undoubtedly gave the three of them, including Advisor Shao, an opportunity to make a move.

A chilling aura erupted from the military officer who had previously scouted out the strength of the demon rat horde, and glistening frost condensed into an ice mirror in front of him.

The mirror was very large, three meters wide. It was an equilateral octagon, and although it did not reflect the area where the Wind Spirit and the many Hokkaido Demon Rats were fighting, it suddenly revealed the battle scene there.

"Frost's Descent!"

The ice mirror hovered in front of him, resembling a flat, real-time map. The military commander's sinister, icy eyes fell on the map, and he raised his hand to scan the area where the Wind Spirit and the Haxorus Demon Rat were fighting.

Suddenly, a chill rose from that area. There was no snow falling, but an extremely cold force descended in an instant, turning the place into a frozen kingdom.

As you can see, the entire area within a one-kilometer radius is covered with a thick layer of white frost, and more than forty stag rats lie on the frost, their bodies also covered in frost.

The cracking and shattering sounds continued to emanate from their bodies. The zircon armor, which was already somewhat broken by the wind spirit's gale, was instantly covered with cracks and became brittle.

Undeterred by the extreme cold emanating from the ground, Feng Ling seized the opportunity to strike while the enemy was weakened, unleashing a storm sword formation as the winds swirled.

The densely packed wind swords spun like boomerangs, yet they also formed a massive vortex of wind, enveloping more than forty hoe-like demon rats. As the storm sword array pressed down, a sound like a cutting machine rang out.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Bai Mo knew these things were about to die. He immediately delivered the finishing blow, while on the other side, the battle between the two tribes was also nearing its end.

After the battle, Bai Mo gained a lot, but he also consumed a lot of magical energy. He didn't do a proper inventory and let the three advisors continue their night watch while he closed his eyes and meditated to recover.

With the demons on this side eliminated, Staff Officer Shao and the others didn't go to sleep. Instead, they started paying attention to the situation on the other side of the Shaqu River.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of the same species of Fiendish Rat appeared on the other side of the river.

They were still lured over by the Dust Storm Grasshoppers, but unfortunately, since they hadn't crossed the river, these Pickaxe Grasshoppers continued to target the Dust Storm Grasshoppers.

The dust storm monsters were no match for these monster rats, so they scattered and lured them away. The group of monsters fought each other for a while before gradually calming down.

At that moment, dawn broke, and Staff Officer Shao immediately gave the order.

"Let's pack up camp and cross the river!"

The group immediately began preparations, and by the time they packed up their campsite, it was already broad daylight.

They found a relatively narrow spot to begin crossing the river, taking advantage of the fact that the dust storm monsters had just finished their chaos and had not yet regrouped.

The group ran at full speed across the Shaqu River, using all their magical tools, acceleration devices, and displacement abilities such as wind and ground waves without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, they had already run halfway across the Shaqu River. Just then, a swarm of dust monsters rushed over from the opposite side like a sandstorm sweeping across the sky.

"Watch out! Activate your defense and run at full speed!"

Upon seeing this, the leading strategist, Shao, felt a chill run down her spine. Just as she had suspected, these dust storm demons were willing to be burned to death by the flames atop the fire elemental holy mountain in their quest for fire immunity.

It doesn't seem to matter if some of them sink in the Shaqu River, as long as it can stop them from searching for a source of fire.

"Luo Tian Zhang!"

A flash of light appeared in Nan Yao's eyes as he brought up the rear. The golden silk robe rolled up again, its golden light like water, enveloping everyone from all directions.

Large swarms of dust storm demons swarmed against the golden light, only causing a brief surge of brilliance.

Half of the river channel had been traversed, and several researchers already felt the weight beneath their feet, as if they were carrying a thousand-pound weight, running on a surface covered with superglue. Every step required immense strength and willpower.

"wind!"

Bai Mo's eyes narrowed as he noticed the change in the group. He immediately summoned a gentle breeze, which came from behind the group and created a wide path through the wind.

A gentle breeze carried everyone forward, like stepping onto a level escalator. In an instant, their speed increased considerably.

The distance of one kilometer was quickly closed, and the group of people arrived on the shore without stopping. They found their direction and headed towards the sacred mountain of the fire element.

The journey was naturally fraught with obstacles from the dust storm demons, but if they could hold them off for one day, they could hold them off for the next.

The ground along the way had changed from barren gray sand to a mixture of black rocks and sand dunes, and the temperature gradually rose as the group ventured deeper. Even as evening approached, there was no sign of coolness.

A wave of heat swept over them, and a colossal mountain, like a canopy of the sky, appeared before them, its rays blocking out the distant horizon. Even before they were close, a terrifying and overwhelming sense of awe weighed on everyone's hearts!

It truly looks as if a piece of the sky had been cut off and fallen to the ground to form this!

Under the light, even with the dust storm demons obscuring the view, the massive outline of the sacred mountain was clearly visible to everyone, and clusters of flames appeared on the mountain from time to time, revealing even more details of the mountain's structure.

"Hurry up, we're here!"

Staff Officer Shao's eyes lit up. He let out a long breath, raised his hand, and unleashed three thousand bolts of lightning, wiping out the dust storm demons that had surrounded him.

The group marched briskly towards the Flaming Mountain, their faces beaming with joy. However, unlike the others' elation, the military commander, who had always served as the team's second scout, harbored a hidden worry.

The temperature was already this high before they even reached the foot of the mountain. If they were to actually climb up, the temperature would only be higher. And the dust storm monsters, compared to them, were clearly not afraid of the high temperatures.

If these dust storm gnats continue to harass them, their plans to collect fire sources may face significant difficulties.

The military commander was not in charge of the team, and he had no solution to the problem, so he voiced his concerns.

"Officers, don't worry about us being unable to withstand the high temperatures. We have already prepared heat insulation devices in advance."

The team leader of the nine researchers immediately spoke, and at the same time, a set of five ice-colored rings of varying sizes appeared in his hand—five large and four small. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that they appeared to be worn around the neck, wrists, and ankles.

"Ever since we came up with this fire source plan, we have been preparing high-temperature resistant protective measures. According to our speculation, the Dust Storm Demon Beetle is probably a transformation caused by the raging fire that once broke out in the elemental holy land on the Fire Elemental Holy Mountain."

"The raging fire across the mountain can be considered an energy leak from the Fire Elemental Sanctuary, so its temperature is definitely not as high as the flames inside the Fire Elemental Sanctuary. That is precisely the source of fire that the Dust Storm Demons fear. The goal of our Fire Source Project is to obtain the fire source inside the Fire Elemental Sanctuary."

"This is an Ice Dust Ring, made from chalcedony sourced from the frigid icebergs of Siberia. It's strong enough to protect us from dying from overheating. The only problem is that you officers will have to withstand the high temperatures on your own; we don't have any more Ice Dust Rings."

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Shao and the others immediately shook their heads, "Our magic energy barrier is enough."

Staff Officer Shao had also reviewed the implementation details of the fire source plan, which mentioned methods to address high temperatures, so she wasn't worried about it.

Once she sets foot on the Flaming Mountain ahead, she is confident that she can obtain the source of fire.

There used to be a military post here, so the terrain data of the surrounding area is still recorded. The group walked up the mountain path and made relatively safe progress.

Soon, the drastically increased temperature forced Bai Mo and the super-rank military commander to erect a magical energy barrier, while Staff Officer Shao and Nan Yao, both of whom possessed fire-type abilities, were not afraid of it.

On the contrary, the increasingly higher temperatures and the increasingly concentrated fire element here are more conducive to their performance.

As they climbed higher, the mountain path gradually disappeared, and they arrived at a slightly lower mountaintop.

The dust storm gnats continued their relentless attacks, and just then, a raging fire suddenly broke out across the entire mountain. The flames started burning right beneath their feet without any warning.

The dust storm gnats seemed to have been waiting for this moment. They had already adapted to the fire, and as soon as the flames ignited, they swooped down.

The fire reached a height of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), roaring up from the ground. The terrifyingly high temperature almost instantly destroyed the light-elemental supernatural power that Nan Yao had been releasing to protect everyone.

Bai Mo dared not directly withstand the scorching flames; his shoes and trouser legs had already been burned in the sudden attack of the flames. In an instant, a stream of colorful starlight flowed out.

A smooth surface forged from chaotic light enveloped his entire body, and raging flames spread across his body, completely disappearing from sight.

At that moment, a dense network of electric grids shot into the sky, forming a semi-circular shield of lightning that pierced through all the dust storm demons that swarmed down, turning them into fragments that were then consumed by the flames.

After the wildfire was extinguished, the nine researchers were found completely naked. The military commander had also lost his pants, but fortunately, he was left with some holes in his bright red underwear.

After a moment of awkward silence, everyone managed to tidy themselves up.

Bai Mo also took the opportunity to change his shoes.

Instead of wandering around aimlessly, the group began setting up elemental surveying instruments. Although they had records of the terrain of the Flaming Mountain, they did not know the location of the Fire Element Holy Land.

The elemental survey took a long time, as the area to be surveyed was the entire Flame Mountain Range, which was too vast.

Fortunately, apart from the dust storm monsters in the sky, there were no other demons here, especially monarch-level creatures.

Information was gathered, charts were created, and the location of the elemental holy sites was immediately found.

It wasn't far from where they were, nor was it on the mountaintop that everyone had initially thought it was. The group immediately set off, pushing aside the annoying swarm of demonic grasshoppers, towards the Elemental Sanctuary.

As soon as they left, the surrounding dust storm monsters attacked even more fiercely, but they were powerless to do anything and were just wasting their time, which only confirmed the information they had just collected.

The temperature rose higher and higher, and a distinct magical energy barrier appeared around Bai Mo and Jun Si. This was even after Yan Ji had absorbed the energy here and taken away the soul seed that had been nurtured.

It's hard to imagine what a scorching hell this place used to be.

Continuing forward, a bright, scorching, fiery red light appeared before them; they had arrived at the edge of the sacred land of fire elements.

This isn't a lava pool; it's just an area where a raging fire burns incessantly.

Bai Mo was completely enveloped by a barrier formed by a layer of cyan light, and even Nan Yao and Advisor Shao beside him were sweating profusely.

The nine researchers, whose necks, wrists, and ankles were encircled by ice-colored rings, looked relaxed, with wisps of white smoke rising from their bodies—the icy aura that was cooling them down.

"Sir, we're going in."

The research team leader turned around and spoke seriously to Staff Officer Shao, his voice firm and resolute.

"Yes, we will stay here and protect them, but we will do what we can and not be greedy."

"yes!"

The researcher responded and immediately led his men into a sea of ​​fire.

The group of nine figures quickly disappeared into the raging flames.

After a while, Staff Officer Shao turned his gaze to Bai Mo.

The flames did not block the transmission of sound waves. Bai Mo was indeed paying attention to their movements and condition. When he saw Staff Officer Shao looking at him, he shook his head slightly to indicate that they were alright.

Above, however, the dust storm demons had already retreated; the intense heat of the fire elemental holy land was beyond their ability to withstand.

Bai Mo and his companions waited where they were. It was a pity that he was not a fire elementalist and did not have a fire elemental contract beast, otherwise he should have been able to gain something here.

For Staff Officer Shao and Nan Yao, this place was also a rare sacred ground for cultivation, but due to their duties, neither of them chose to cultivate.

In fact, the fact that there was a post station here shows that the authorities had the idea of ​​developing this place.

However, there were no large towns nearby, nor enough troops or manpower, and demons were rampant. So the idea was abandoned.

"Gates of Hellfire!"

The woman's long black hair flew wildly, and a brilliant white-gold fire diagram unfolded. Lava veins carrying terrifyingly high temperatures burst out of the fire diagram like fire dragons, striking a dazed golden divine eagle a thousand meters ahead.

The raging flames ignited half of the mountain and charred the golden divine eagle. Ignoring the dead Radiant Flame Eagle, Ding Yumin flapped her magical wings and slowly landed, standing with Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu.

She didn't speak, but instead focused her gaze on the fiery lava spring in front of her.

Turning her head, she exchanged a glance with Lingling. They clearly remembered that the last time they came here, this lava pool had been completely absorbed by Jiang Feng.

But now it has reappeared, attracting a demon to guard the area and make it its home.

"Sister Yumian, it seems we didn't check everything thoroughly last time," Lingling said.

"But I activated the Wing Command here last time, and nothing happened." Ding Yumin nodded slightly, then raised another question.

"I don't know either. Grandpa can't figure out the specifics of these tokens either. Why don't you try again, Sister Yumian?" Lingling said.

"Furthermore, Sister Yumian, you used the Bai Ze Diagram to check the Wing Token before. The image showed a winged fire serpent falling from the sky and turning into a pool of water."

Although the lava pool in front of us is different in color from the pool shown in Ding Yumin's Bai Ze painting, so much time has passed that it is hard to say what changes have occurred.

"it is good."

Ding Yumin didn't waste any more words and immediately took out the Wing Token, inputting fire magic energy to activate it.

The token glowed slightly, and a sense of connection immediately arose in Ding Yumin's mind. She pursed her lips and said:

"It should be inside the lava pool. I'll go in and take a look. Jiang Shaoxu, you protect Lingling."

"Okay, be careful," Jiang Shaoxu said. She naturally couldn't withstand the temperature of the lava, so she didn't plan to go in.

Meanwhile, during this time, while following Bai Mo and the others, she also began to doubt whether she had gone in the wrong direction. Among the stories her brother told her, there were actually not many about the four constellations.

The older brother was more like following a map, while Xingxiu was just a chance encounter along the way. Actually, it was similar to what Bai Mo and the others were doing now, except that Bai Mo had a different map.

Beyond the Mirror of the Sky, the cosmos possesses a special power. Since these constellation totems correspond to unique stars in the sky, they must also be quite extraordinary.

But Jiang Shaoxu wanted to find her brother's whereabouts even more.

She plans to compile some information after returning this time, giving Bai Mo and the others more options.

Ding Yumin, on the other hand, had already thrown herself into the lava pool without hesitation.

This level of high temperature felt more like perfectly warm water to her, and her thoughts were extended outwards by layers of spiritual power.

As her body gradually descended, Ding Yumin quickly realized something was wrong.

Based on their last visit, this lava pool was at most ten meters deep, but now she has already swum twenty meters!

Ding Yumin's eyes flickered as she took out the Wing Token. Seeing that it indeed emitted a faint glow, she formed a guess in her mind. (End of Chapter)
