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

A strange radiance, like mist, swirled among the towering trees, while a series of flapping sounds masked the departing footsteps. A pair of enormous, pure white wings whipped up a gust of wind, parting the dark red grass.

The translucent tentacle segments revealed the blood vessels and bones beneath the body's surface, and the tentacles landed on the human body hidden in the grass.

"Snap, crack~~~"

The sound of eating arose, and the enticing aroma of blood wafted through the forest.

The popping sounds became more frequent, and they flew out from every corner.

Standing atop the Drum Tower, Bai Mo held the documents he had just obtained from the Hunter Alliance hall downstairs.

"This is a further intelligence investigation of the Misty Forest in the northwest, commissioned by Lingling from the Jinling hunters. Take a look."

He was carrying a serving of xiaolongbao in his hand and had one in his mouth, and he spoke entirely using magic.

"Why are there only nineteen? Didn't Lingling assign twenty tasks?" Ding Yumin asked, somewhat puzzled, as she took the documents.

"I don't know, that group of hunter mages didn't submit the quest."

Bai Mo shook his head; it was highly likely he had perished in the wild. For a hunter, this was an extremely common occurrence.

Just then, Jiang Shaoxu, who was taking photos to record the local scenery, suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Wait! Isn't the light on the horizon a little strange?"

"Waaaaaahh ...

Before she could finish speaking, a series of alarms, each longer than the last, blared from the Drum Tower. Immediately afterward, a beam of light shot out from the Drum Tower and merged with the crimson light spreading across the horizon!

"Blood Alert!"

Bai Mo slowly uttered four words.

Screams and noises erupted, along with the sounds of monks from the Drum Tower maintaining order, and groups of figures heading in all directions.

On the western city wall fortress, squads of Skyhawk mages almost occupied half the sky, their dark clouds shrouding the city behind them.

A faint golden light rose up; that was the outermost defensive barrier.

The air seemed to freeze into water at that moment!

However, whether on the city walls, in the sky, or atop the fortress towers, none of the numerous military mages made a move, nor did they cast a single spell.

They all stared solemnly ahead.

Beyond the city walls and the border, countless butterflies fluttered their wings, spreading from the ground like ants marching in formation to the sky.

Each of the Phoenix Tiger Butterfly and the Everlasting Swallowtail Butterfly is as big as a fighter jet. They are densely packed together, and the overwhelming sense of pressure they exert is no less than that of an armored tank legion!

Anyone standing before this army of demons would probably instinctively hold their breath and feel their heart race.

A faint glow of fireflies filled the space, as if a heavenly kingdom had descended to bring divine punishment upon the city.

At the center of the Phoenix Tiger Butterfly, a Bright Light Demon Butterfly, almost as tall as the city wall, floated quietly. Its body was covered in dark and eerie demonic patterns, which were magnificent and noble, highlighting its uniqueness. A circle of Phantom Phoenix Butterflies, like large passenger planes, surrounded it like stars around the moon.

Like a king of the heavens personally leading an expedition, an aura of supreme dominance and oppression over all living beings elevated the entire demon army to its peak, causing even the Sky Eagle Matrix, which was on high alert in the sky, to sway.

"Damn it! Why did these demons suddenly attack the city!"

On the city wall, a military intelligence officer was cursing and swearing. But in the very center, a staff officer looked puzzled.

"Director Zhu, why aren't these demons attacking? What are they trying to do?"

"Wait and see how things develop, and have the staff team speed up their work to devise the most suitable defense strategy."

On the central tower, a long-bearded man in military uniform shook his head, standing there with an unwavering and dignified air, gazing at the enormous figure in the sky.

"Humans!"

Just then, an unusually strange tone came from the side of the Radiant Demon Butterfly that occupied half the sky, and fell into the entire city gate from afar.

Then a human wearing a phosphorescent garment, a grass ring, and a pair of translucent wings buzzing behind him appeared from the side.

He deliberately lowered himself by a head compared to the numerous high-level butterfly demons, and spoke in an arrogant and domineering tone:

"Your hunters stole the treasure of our Butterfly Clan. If you hand over the treasure, offer those hunters to our Bright Butterfly Lord, and kneel down to beg for his forgiveness, we may spare this poor city!"

"What?! Someone actually stole something from this demon tribe!" a military intelligence officer immediately shouted. "Who on earth is so bold as to do this?!"

"Yes, find him quickly! Who could be so despicable as to cause such a city-wide disaster for the sake of one person's own benefit?!"

"Hmph! It must have been those hunters. The Everlasting Phoenix Butterfly tribe has been quite quiet lately, so people keep going in to explore. They've gotten us into big trouble!" said a general.

Because of this demon's words, the entire West Wall Fortress, including all the people already stationed there and the various mages who came to provide support after receiving the rally signal, immediately erupted into chaos.

"Find him! You have to find him! My wife is due to give birth today, I can't die here!"

"Who's so ungrateful? Doesn't they know how to stand up for themselves?!"

"We must find this person and compensate that Butterfly Lord with all his companions. Only then can we be saved!"

On the city walls, the high-ranking officials held continuous discussions, but they couldn't find the person the demon outside the city had mentioned, nor did they have the time to search for him.

"Why don't we just grab any sinner, take a treasure from the inventory that will satisfy them, and send it to them?" someone suggested.

"What should we take? What if they don't want it?"

Some immediately objected, and the officers made a commotion, but in the end, they all focused their attention on the supreme commander.

"Director, what should we do?"

Director Zhu glanced at the crowd indifferently, his dignified eyes filled with fierce determination.

"This is human territory. Those who are not of my kind are bound to have different hearts. There's no need to talk about resolving the Butterfly Lord's grudge anymore. I will not use any human life to gain the pity of a demon!"

"Director Zhu is right. Based on our discussion and evaluation just now, the attack on the city by the swallowtail butterfly tribe was inevitable. In recent years, the number of swallowtail butterfly tribes has expanded too much."

A bespectacled, aloof-looking staff officer stepped forward and continued:

"Based on my findings from my recent investigation of that monarch, it is not any of the recorded monarchs of the Swallowtail Butterfly tribe. It was recently promoted and then driven out of the Misty Forest."

Fellow colleagues, we have no choice but to fight!

"Chief of Staff Qian, is there a defense plan?" Director Zhu asked slowly, looking at the cold-looking woman.

"have!"

Chief of Staff Qian nodded and continued, "There's no particularly ingenious plan. The Magic Association and Jinling Academy are organizing the evacuation of personnel into the Anjie. In terms of basic combat strength, we can only rely on ourselves and the help of some social hunters."

Because the Light Butterfly tribe itself emits a dense glow, we cannot yet determine its exact number; a preliminary estimate is around five thousand. With the military mages of Jinling, all we high-level mages need to do is hold off the Light Butterfly onslaught, and we can wait for reinforcements from the nearest prefecture, Luzhou.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhu frowned even more deeply and said in a deep voice:

"Is there any chance of defeating this monarch?"

If this demon lord could be defeated, it would undoubtedly reduce many variables. He sensed that this formidable demon army numbered far more than five thousand!

With the current strength of Jinling's military mages, they can barely hold off a siege by 5,000 warriors, but even a thousand more would cause a rout.

"That's probably very difficult!"

Chief of Staff Qian gave a wry smile. A monarch-level demon could fight against seven or eight super-level demons, while Jinling only had six super-level demons.

"The elders of the Jinling Hunter Alliance are not in the city recently, so including the former principal of Jinling Academy, there are only six Super Rank members in total."

Six Super-Rank individuals: two from the Magic Association, one from Jinling Academy, and three from the Jinling military. This was even after she understood that Director Zhu was a veteran Super-Rank individual.

"Sigh!" Upon hearing this, Director Zhu sighed deeply, wondering how many people would sacrifice their lives this time.

"With our help, I wonder if we can kill this Radiant Demon Butterfly in one fell swoop?"

Just then, Bai Mo appeared in front of Staff Officer Zhu and the others with Ding Yumin and the other two.

Their appearance had already attracted the attention of some officers; in fact, none of the other reinforcements who came to provide support went directly up to the main building.

However, no one stopped Bai Mo because he was wearing the Magic Association's badge.

In fact, Starfire Network is also considered an organization of the Magic Association.

"You?" Director Zhu turned around, looking at Bai Mo with a deep gaze. "Little boy, this is a battlefield, not a place for playing house!"

"My name is Bai Mo, and these are my teammates."

Although he was famous, few people recognized his face. Bai Mo didn't mind and directly gave his name while revealing his cultivation level. Ding Yumin and the other two also slightly revealed their auras.

"So it was you! Now Nanjing is saved!" Director Zhu was slightly taken aback, but immediately smiled.

"With the assistance of the four of you, if we act together, we might really have a chance to defeat the Brightlight Demon Butterfly," Chief of Staff Qian said, sounding somewhat excited.

"No, I just used my sonic senses to scan the area. There are eight thousand demons outside, including eighty commanders."

Bai Mo immediately offered a reminder, and before the two could regain their composure, he continued:

"We can leave a few super-tier protectors behind, and the rest of you can come with me to carry out the decapitation."

Bai Mo was incredibly greedy for this monarch-level Brightlight Demon Butterfly. It was rare to encounter a lone demon monarch like this.

Most monarchs stay in their own strongholds, surrounded by tens of thousands of followers. Even he doesn't have the ability to eliminate them for the time being.

Minor demons aren't scary, as long as there aren't too many of them.

This monarch-level spirit was an unexpected bonus, and he was determined to obtain it.

Director Zhu and Staff Officer Qian hesitated when Bai Mo spoke, knowing that the commanders around the Bright Light Demon Butterfly alone could hold off three or four super-level mages for a while.

It wasn't until Bai Mo slightly revealed a trace of Jingwei's aura from the Soul Refining Pot that things changed.

This put the two at ease. Then, the group of super-level experts discussed the matter and decided to leave Jiang Shaoxu, Staff Officer Qian, and another military mage to guard the area, while the others followed Bai Mo to carry out the decapitation.

"Humans! You are ungrateful! The Butterfly Lord will punish you! He will slaughter your cities!"

Just then, the demon sensed something was wrong and immediately spoke. At the same time, countless shimmering butterfly demons swarmed towards the city wall, like a flood bursting its banks.

As the swarm of butterflies crushed the enemy, the military mages immediately unleashed their magic. A whirlwind gathered, and eight array diagrams lit up on the eight watchtowers of the city wall, lifting up an entire group of eagle mages in the sky.

"Skyfall Hurricane!"

A vast, mighty river of wind appeared, with tornadoes rising from the sky and surging into the earth, colliding with the approaching butterfly demons as the river surged forward.

The wind howled, and a huge hole was torn open in the butterfly array that was like a sky wall. The translucent butterfly fairies danced in the wind like torn pieces of paper, scattering countless drops of blood.

At the same time, this collision also revealed the figure of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, which was surrounded by the butterfly demons.

Originally, the people could only vaguely see this monarch through the semi-transparent bodies of the many butterfly fairies, and what they could feel more clearly was its aura.

Now that the two sides are engaged in battle, the Butterfly Demon army formation has changed, revealing the figure of the monarch.

Its entire body was a brilliant gold color, and the area covered by its outstretched wings could cover half of the city wall, making it look like a giant spaceship floating in the sky.

On those wings, which resembled giant fighter jet landing pads, were jet-black patterns, like two sinister demonic eyes.

Around him, numerous commander-level phantom butterflies swirled, further enhancing his majestic and imposing aura.

"Attention, operation begins!"

Bai Mo spoke up to remind him, and a portal to the starry sky opened naturally, leaving behind a cloud of diamond-colored dust.

The air rippled, the light distorted, and the figures of seven human mages instantly appeared in front of the giant Radiant Butterfly.

The thirty-six mirage butterflies surrounding them immediately noticed and emitted a clear, sharp chirp, like the sound of bamboo.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~!"

In an instant, bodies the size of large passenger planes began to move. With the flapping of their enormous wings, a ring of energy surged and crushed the crowd. At the same time, dark golden light powder, like small shooting stars, rained down.

"This is illusory light powder. Once it gets on you, your vision will be instantly filled with illusory light. Everyone be careful!"

Director Zhu was worried that Bai Mo and the others were unaware of the power of the seemingly harmless dust from the Phantom Butterfly, so he immediately gave instructions.

At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and an even stronger hurricane immediately rose up, not only breaking the crushing wind ring, but also blowing away a large area of ​​phantom dust.

But this was far from the end. The numerous phantom butterflies would not wait for their master to make a move. Their wings, which resembled bird feathers, immediately shot out a large number of light feathers again. The feather arrows were like knives, and their power was no less than that of the light falling everywhere!

The combined power of thirty-six commanders attacking together would be no less than that of a super-tier spell.

"Certainly!"

Among the group, Bai Mo's magic was the fastest. A spatial ripple spread out, instantly freezing the arrows that were originally about to strike them. Then, they deflected and shot towards the ordinary butterfly fairies that were closing in from all directions.

The rustling sound continued, and in an instant, there were no ordinary butterfly demons within a radius of one mile.

"Proceed according to plan!"

As Bai Mo spoke urgently, everyone immediately unleashed their magic, dividing the thirty-six commanders around them.

Six people, each fighting six on average. In an instant, Ding Yumin's winged artifacts shone brightly, and her fiery wings sliced ​​through the demons on the east side like a city wall. Flowers bloomed around Mu Nujiao, devouring the phantom butterflies one by one.

Then there was Director Zhu's powerful hurricane, which directly engulfed the group of demons behind the bright yellow ink butterfly. The others were also unleashing spells frequently.

Seeing that its underlings were all restrained and a human was rushing towards it, the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's dark compound eyes flashed with a cold light. Suddenly, it flapped its wings, and a golden veil of light fell like a vast river of golden light.

The long river blocked all of Bai Mo's paths forward, and its aftershocks directly affected other mages who were engaged in battle.

No one knew anything about the Brightlight Demon Butterfly, let alone its various abilities.

Therefore, none of them dared to directly confront this dazzling and vast stream of light, and they all dodged it at top speed.

Bai Mo also immediately used the power of the Void Bone to enter the illusory dimension.

As the golden light swept across, the surrounding world dimmed. A high-ranking member of the Magic Association was caught off guard; the water shield he had erected was shattered by the golden light, and even his armor collapsed under its rays.

Fortunately, he managed to block the golden light's attack with two defensive maneuvers, and only suffered some minor injuries.

It looks like just a light falling across the sky.

As everyone pondered this, they saw that the descending golden light, as if it could take on a physical form, did not dissipate but instead formed countless light butterflies that rushed towards them.

"I've been underestimated."

Bai Mo gave a soft hum, and a powerful spatial force enveloped him as he exited the illusory dimension.

"Void Arena!"

As he raised his hand, illusory chaotic lines and spatial lines appeared one after another, spreading out in all directions like ripples on water, taking him and the luminous magic butterfly to another region.

At the same time, the light trails that drooped from the wings of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly also entered the void arena.

The vast expanse of golden light, like a real flowing river, surged across the entire arena and then surged outwards in all directions.

As you can see, Bai Mo and Mingguang Modie's figures suddenly became illusory amidst the chaotic battle of mages and demons, like a projection in this location.

Within the projection, the pervasive golden light transformed into hundreds and thousands of butterflies that fluttered towards Bai Mo.

One after another, the silver barriers were shattered by the vast swarm of light butterflies. Bai Mo also learned the effect of these light butterflies.

The light butterfly is different from the light stream before; it carries a more concentrated explosive and disintegrating power.

As the light butterfly dissipated, those points of light returned to the light curtain that hung down from the wings of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly.

Bai Mo attempted to unleash a Slaughtering Wind Slash attack, but the vast light curtain that had been hanging down for hundreds of meters danced and transformed into a flowing light shield covering his entire body, blocking the Slaughtering Wind Slash.

It now appears that the Golden Garland is this monarch's standard skill, possessing strong defensive capabilities as well as considerable offensive power.

Having tested the abilities of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, Bai Mo launched a full-scale attack.

This was his first time facing a monarch in full power, so he naturally wouldn't be careless.

The silver hairpin spear appeared in his hand instantly. As he channeled magical energy into it, wisps of silver starlight outlined the figure of a giant silver-white dragon.

The figure was outlined extremely quickly, from dragon scales to fur, then to dragon whiskers and eyes. In an instant, a huge silver dragon shot towards the Bright Light Demon Butterfly as the silver hairpin spear was thrown!

The silver dragon pierced through space and crashed directly into the center of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's enormous body. Brilliant light exploded, and with the space being obliterated and penetrated, a huge hole fifty meters wide was ripped open in the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's body!

No blood flowed, nor was any spirit formed. All that was seen was the shimmering light curtain that fell from one of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's wings, sealing the opening that severed the connection between its upper and lower body the moment it died from its severe injuries.

Then the light slowly faded and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the huge hole in the body of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly caused by the White Ink attack was repaired in the blink of an eye.

"Looks like you have another life!"

With a wave of his hand, Bai Mo retrieved the silver hairpin spear. He glanced at the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, which now only had half a wing hanging down from the light curtain, and vaguely understood the reason for this scene.

Some demons in nature possess powerful regenerative abilities, or simply have multiple lives.

This is a special survival mechanism. Before the principle is understood and a targeted method is found, mages can only use the brute force method.

call!

With a whoosh, the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, having recovered its body, did not pause at all. It was faster than teleportation and instantly appeared above Bai Mo's head. Its steel-like tentacles slammed down all at once!

At the same time, its compound eyes lit up, and beams of brilliant golden light shot straight toward Bai Mo!

The Bright Light Demon Butterfly moved so fast that even Bai Mo didn't have time to open the spatial gate.

Faced with the attack coming head-on, layers of spatial crystal walls immediately blocked his way.

A continuous rumbling sound was heard, and cracks appeared in the spatial crystal wall, which bought Bai Mo some time.

With a flash of silver light, he appeared a hundred meters above the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, his body glowing with faint starlight. He activated his Void Bone and slammed it heavily into the void.

In an instant, a spatial rift descended straight down, extending towards the Bright Light Demon Butterfly below.

The spatial rift was as if cleaved by a divine weapon, carrying a terrifying aura of devouring and obliterating. The Bright Light Demon Butterfly activated its rapid evasion once more.

This time, Bai Mo saw it clearly; it was an ability similar to light escape.

He glanced at the golden glow that filled the entire space; it was all emanating from the light curtain on its other wing.

It seems that this light escape is also the ability of this light curtain, but judging from the panting figure, even if it is, this speed cannot be unleashed too many times.

Bai Mo produced a baton in his other hand, and holding it, he traced lines in the air as if painting. A flash of shimmering light appeared, and two spatial rifts, like lightning bolts in the void, struck the Bright Light Demon Butterfly from opposite directions!

Sizzle!

An extremely piercing cutting sound came from the connection between the crack and the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's body. The two spatial cracks were a mile long, like the gaping mouth of an abyss, swallowing half of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly's body.

A veil of light covered it and then disappeared, and the complete monarch reappeared, but even the mages observing from the outside, separated by only one dimension, could see its weakness.

"Dragon-Binding Lock!"

Bai Mo pointed his baton downwards, and a faint, illusory star palace appeared to float behind him.

Immediately afterwards, his figure split in two, scattering upwards and downwards.

Then the two figures split into two, then into four, then into eight, and finally into sixteen.

Sixteen figures appeared in a circle, one above the other, surrounding the newly formed Bright Light Demon Butterfly. Then, they reappeared on the other side, perpendicular to where he had originally stood, and transformed into one person.

A heavy spatial pressure, as if Mount Tai were pressing down, enveloped the Bright Light Demon Butterfly that was trying to escape.

The moment its body froze, two magnificent and dazzling silver spatial compass arrays appeared one above and one below the Bright Light Demon Butterfly.

From the silver compass arrays above and below, silver chains emerged, the massive chains coiling around the creature like pythons, restricting it.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Mo's silver hairpin spear shot out suddenly, a silver dragon breaking through the air and crashing into the head of the Bright Light Demon Butterfly, exploding its head with a single shot!

Brain tissue, mixed with blood, was scattered in all directions by the force of the explosion. The enormous body, utterly devoid of life, became a lifeless object. (End of Chapter)
