Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne
Chapter 417 Deep into the Mountains
They gave Blanche a shot of adrenaline so she wouldn't feel like they were just throwing their lives away.
This will also deepen their longing for Kyushu.
The group continued on their way, and Bai Mo steered the conversation back on track.
"Ms. Blanche, let's continue talking about the monsters of the Alps."
Blanche nodded after glancing at the two totems that had been taken back.
"The strength of the three demon regions—the forest region, the meadow region, and the snow-capped mountain region—does not increase with altitude, but it is definitely more dangerous the higher you go."
This is related to the demons distributed across three regions. There are relatively few mountain gods in the forest region, while there are many other demons, including tribes and clans of all sizes.
However, this area is also the one that has been most clearly explored; I have a map showing the distribution of demons here.
But once we reached the meadow area, the number of creatures belonging to the mountain god tribe increased, and we were in danger.
"How so?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"After entering the meadow area, the number of demons from the mountain god clan began to increase. You don't know which tree, which piece of ground, or even which gust of wind is a demon in disguise."
Mountain gods only reveal themselves when they want to attack; they have no affection for humans.
"When you reach a snow-covered area where everything is inhabited by mountain gods, the situation will be much better."
Blanche paused, "However, once you reach the snow-capped mountains, if you're lucky, you might be able to see Mont Blanc from afar."
No matter what, even if I have a trump card, you'd better just take a look from afar. I won't let Heidi and you get close to Mont Blanc!
Legend has it that there are extremely powerful demons there; decades ago, a powerful mage from the holy city went in and never came out again.
"Don't worry, Blanche, we won't get close to Mont Blanc," Bai Mo said.
He knew what was there, of course; he wanted to wake it up, but he didn't want to be its tool for venting its morning grumpiness.
Blanche glanced at him, as if trying to determine whether his words were true or false.
As the surrounding forests grew denser, they completely left the area in the Alps where humans could move around.
As they walked up the mountain, the group's purpose was very clear.
"There's a group of Berserker Bears in this direction. They're ferocious and warlike, so be careful!"
These guys can mimic human voices and movements! And they hold grudges very well.
We'd better not fight them, or we'll definitely be chased the whole way.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan asked, "Aren't those things afraid of invading other demon territories, and then those demons coming after them?"
In the wild, if you are targeted by a vengeful demon and you can't defeat it, the best way is to enter another demon's territory.
"The teacher said that the Violent Bear is extremely vengeful and has a powder keg personality; it has definitely fought with all the demons in the area!"
Heidi raised her fair and delicate chin.
"Would you still care about your enemy's feelings?"
"Uh, that's true."
"So how are we going to get through? What's the strength of these guys? Should we just wipe them out?"
"It's a good deed, and maybe the demons around us will be grateful and automatically make way," Mo Fan said.
Upon hearing this, Blanche said calmly, "They are all commanders, but there aren't many of them, probably only a little over a hundred."
"Then forget it, let's just sneak over there," Mo Fan immediately changed his mind.
"Although the scaly bears live in groups, they are likely dispersed within their territories, exhibiting a family-like dispersal pattern."
Bai Mo, who also knew about the Vibrant Bear, spoke up:
"Their territory is large, so they will be scattered, and with me and Yu Mian here, we don't have to worry about being discovered while we're lurking."
As he spoke, a passage leading into the inner space opened up in front of him.
Meanwhile, Ding Yumin cast a mind-concealing spell on everyone, weakening their presence.
Their target was the Mountain God Clan, so Bai Mo didn't want to start a war with these bears.
"What kind of spatial magic is this?"
As the group entered the space and walked around, Heidi couldn't help but ask.
"Open the inner space, and we walk within it."
Heidi opened her mouth; of course she knew this was the inner space.
But why didn't they land? Because there's no ground in that inner space.
She glanced down at her feet, at the deep and empty space beneath, and could faintly sense the spatial turbulence deep within.
"The ground was obviously built with magic."
Bai Mo could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
Although it sounds simple, it's simply impossible for a high-level spatial mage to do it.
The group quickly passed through the area where the Berserker Bear was located and then exited the spatial passage.
There was no air in the inner space, and even though everyone present was extraordinary, their physical constitutions were exceptional.
But not breathing for a long time can still be fatal.
Therefore, Bai Mo could not travel for very long each time he maintained spatial movement.
"Phew—!" Mo Fan let out a long breath. "Finally out."
.
"Yeah, I'm suffocating! Bai Mo, I feel like your magic is better suited for making torture devices. Just throw anyone you don't like into it."
"No, we can get out by using a destructive spell inside to disrupt the space."
Bai Mo shook his head, but Mu Bai beside him suddenly said:
"I feel like something's off about the trees around me."
"Something's not right?"
Upon hearing this, Blanche immediately turned her gaze to the surrounding trees.
They were all trees she recognized.
Each tree is thick and tall, and looks no different from trees elsewhere.
Her expression suddenly changed when she tried to use her plant-based abilities to control the trees.
"Quick, there are tree spirits around!"
Tree spirits are a type of mountain god.
As Blanche finished speaking, Ding Yumin sensed that the trees immediately experienced a mental fluctuation.
At the same time, the surrounding trees began to sway, intertwining at an extremely fast speed to form a tree array around the group.
The tree array quickly became a single entity, growing as if it were a single plant.
In the dense foliage of the tree array, a long, slender creature covered in branches emerged!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a coffin that has been given a new lease on life and can walk on its own.
However, to be more precise, this should be considered a forest mummy coffin.
Because its body surface is entirely formed by layers of intertwined tree branches.
"Just a minor commander, watch me wipe him out!" Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up. He was about to make his move.
"Fool, we haven't completely left the territory of the Berserker Bear!"
Mu Bai quickly stopped him.
"These trees are echoing trees. If attacked, they will emit a very sharp sound, and then it probably won't just attract the Berserker Bears! We need to leave immediately!"
He minored in botany, so he undoubtedly needed a plant-shaped mountain god crystal.
But he was more rational; in his current state, it was clearly not suitable to do anything out of line, and he should leave immediately.
Blanche also agreed with his idea.
"Heidi, use spatial magic to take us away."
"No need to bother, those guys can't hear us. Let's see how lucky we are this time."
Bai Mo shook his head, reached out and gently tapped the air, and a layer of visible sound waves spread out like ripples on water.
The sound waves swept across the walls of the tree array surrounding them, and were about to pass through the approaching tree spirit leader.
As the sound waves swept across, the trees crumbled inch by inch, and the tree spirits crumbled inch by inch as well.
But no sound came out.
If it weren't for the fact that both plant-based mages in the team recognized the trees in front of them, they would probably have thought that a single spell could easily eliminate them.
"Another kind of dimensional magic that I don't understand," Heidi said, stunned.
The tree array shattered, the tree spirit perished, and the surrounding scene reappeared before everyone's eyes.
The area within a hundred meters was now an empty space!
Clearly, the tree we just saw was a consciousness born from the collective consciousness of the trees within a hundred meters around it.
"This tree spirit is not marked on my demon distribution map; it must have been created recently."
Blanche looked around and then said:
"That's how it is. A mountain god could suddenly appear in the Alpine demon region at any time. You never know when."
"This tree spirit hasn't crystallized yet, so its strength isn't high, which is normal. Let's go."
After saying that, Bai Mo turned to look at Mo Fan, "Has your pendant made any noise?"
"Uh, how did you know?!" Mo Fan asked in surprise.
"Your expression is too obvious, just like when I go on a date for the first time." Zhao Manyan gave him a disdainful look.
Mo Fan's pendant wasn't a big secret to those who knew him well.
"There was a surge of energy entering the little mudfish, but it was very weak, about the amount of a mid-level spell." Mo Fan rubbed his face.
I've always been good at managing my facial expressions, so how could it be so easy for others to notice?
If Bai Mo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "My Mandarin is also very standard."
The group quickly left the place where the tree spirit had once lived.
The breathless state of walking in space is not pleasant, and one of their goals is to encounter the mountain god.
Therefore, led by Blanche, they began to travel along the buffer zone between the two demon clans.
However, they did not encounter the mountain god clan again, which clearly indicates that there are not many of them here.
It shouldn't be bad luck.
"It's so hot! Why don't you take a break? Aren't you tired?"
"We've been walking around for most of the day, going through all sorts of twists and turns," Zhao Manyan said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mo scanned the surrounding demons, while Mo Fan, who was nearby, said:
"Not tired, Lao Zhao, have you been masturbating too much? You're feeling weak."
"You're the one who's weak. I'm in great shape. I exercise every day. 'Five times a night' is the most fitting description for me."
"Can you two be quiet?" Mu Bai said, as the two of them hadn't stopped talking the whole way.
"What do you know, you newbie?"
The two spoke in unison, but Bai Mo, Blanqie, and the others nearby ignored them.
At this moment, Blanche spoke:
"We really should take a break and get back to our feet. The previous ring of peaks was the last stretch of road leading to the meadow area, and there was no buffer zone between the demon tribes like we have now."
"The demons that dwell in that forest of peaks are not all the same, but they can be found both in the gaps between the peaks and on the mountain peaks."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.
"Then let's rest here and recover before continuing."
After Bai Mo made the decision, the team rested on the spot for a while before continuing their journey.
The towering trees around them gradually thinned out, and they only needed to look up to see a large expanse of even taller trees.
It was a forest of peaks, with thick, sturdy peaks rising majestically into the clouds.
It is straight and steep, with some sections being cliffs with an incline of more than 90 degrees.
Looking up from below, rows of stone pillars stand in front, like a row of city walls stretching for dozens of kilometers, protecting Mont Blanc, which is still far away behind.
"It is said that each of these stone peaks is inhabited by a powerful demon. The legend of the Thirty-Six Demon Gods originated from this," Mu Bai said.
He was also aware of some of the rumors surrounding the Alps.
"Really? These mountains look a bit like... you know."
As Zhao Manyan spoke, he moved his hands back and forth on his waist.
"I think so too, especially that one." Mo Fan pointed to a mountain peak on the left.
"It looks so much like it, with fur on both the bottom and the top."
"There are three girls here, so be careful." Bai Mo couldn't stand it anymore.
"Yeah, isn't that just too lewd?" Heidi said.
The two men paused for a moment, then argued, "We are exploring nature."
Heidi wanted to say something, but her eyes narrowed and she slashed at Mo Fan with her palm.
A chaotic color permeated the air, and a slender chaotic slash condensed beneath the palm.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Before Mo Fan could finish his exclamation, the Chaos Rift Slash grazed his ear and flew diagonally backward.
"choke!!"
A sharp, painful scream came from the tree trunk behind Mo Fan.
A lizard as thick as a washbasin lay on the ground, its body cleaved in two by the Chaos Rift.
"This is the Demon Empire. Even though we haven't reached the most dangerous area yet, there are demons in other places as well. Not all demons live in groups, so don't get distracted."
Bai Mo glanced at the dead lizard; it was just a warrior.
The original intention was to have it launch a sneak attack to warn the two guys who weren't even slightly nervous.
Unexpectedly, Heidi was quite alert and immediately spotted the forest lizard that was trying to ambush her.
With this sneak attack, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan got into the zone, and they had already entered the peak forest.
The demons in this area are too numerous, and neither Ding Yumin's mental concealment nor Bai Mo's spatial movement can ensure their safe passage.
Upon arriving in this area, without them even needing to search for the demons, a group of demonic flying sheep atop the mountain spotted them.
"Yay yay yay!!"
Roars echoed through the mountains, and between two vertical peaks, these demons moved with the agility of Spider-Man.
Their heads are like demons, their bodies are surrounded by black flames, they stand upright like humans, yet they can run nimbly between mountain walls with angles of over 90 degrees, as if they were flying in the air!
These demonic flying sheep howled, tearing off their long horns, which were as sharp as cleavers, with their claws and hurling them at Bai Mo and the others!
The ram's horn knives began to spin in the air, forming a dart array that shot towards the crowd.
These demonic flying sheep atop the peaks seem to be the leaders of the demons at these two mountains that resemble the entrance to a forest of peaks.
As they attacked, the entire mountain peak and valley came to a boil!
A rumbling sound rang out, like a herd of beasts stampeding, trying to chase after the whirling ram's horn blade and crush them here!
"I'll hold them off!"
Zhao Manyan immediately stepped forward, and a golden wall rose up in front of everyone, with a thick curtain of water hanging down outside the wall.
Once the two magic walls were in place, the ram's horn sword flew over and struck the walls.
The clanging sounds continued, and the ram's horn knives, still burning with black flames, were even more powerful than the dart formation of featherless birds that Zhao Manyan had encountered in the waters off Xu Island!
As the ram's horn blades fell one by one, obvious cracks appeared on the Wall of Holy Light and the curtain of heaven.
Zhao Manyan's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Hurry and help! We can't hold them off!"
Then, an earthy yellow light shone from his body, and he put on a thick layer of rock armor. He then took out a wooden fish and applied the Baxia Seal to his defenses.
A wall of light and a curtain of water rose up once more.
But those ram's horn knives kept coming, as if there was no end to them.
"Ice Barrier!"
Mu Bai released an ice and snow constellation, creating an ice barrier outside of Zhao Manyan's defenses.
He was not good at defense, and the ice barrier was quickly shattered by several whirling ram's horn blades.
Immediately afterwards, more ram horn blades slashed down, landing on Zhao Manyan's defenses that had risen again.
Even with the blessing of the Baxia Seal, these ram horn knives are still incredibly sharp!
They came one after another, directly penetrating his defenses!
"I really can't hold on any longer! Quick, think of something! Is this a horned demon? It has so many horns!" Zhao Manyan said.
"We're out of options, and we're not good at defense. Old Zhao, hang in there, we'll teleport to the mountaintop and wipe out those demonic flying sheep!"
Mo Fan was about to pull Bai Mo, who was observing something, into a thrilling duo match when he suddenly felt a majestic and holy aura descend upon him.
"Heavenly Sword!"
Blanche was radiating a holy golden light, making her, shrouded in white dress, look like a goddess descended from heaven.
A broad, heavy golden knight's greatsword suddenly fell, like a golden city wall blocking the way for everyone.
This also completely covered the defenses that Zhao Manyan had deployed.
The clanging sound came from the giant knight's guardian holy sword; it was the sound of the demon flying ram's horn knife striking it.
"Light-based super-tier magic can be used for defense?!"
Looking at the enormous golden Holy Sword that stood before him, resembling a towering mountain, Zhao Manyan sighed in awe:
"Coach, I want to learn this!"
"What are you learning? It's been a month and you still can't master any advanced magic," Mo Fan mocked. "Even a dog could learn it."
Zhao Manyan admitted that he was a bit distracted and was too busy firing the cannon, but he would never admit it in front of Mo Fan.
"Do you think super-level magic is so easy to master? Do you, a high-level mage, understand it better than I do? Do you even know how many stars a super-level mage has?"
"What the hell!"
"Stop arguing! Those demonic flying sheep have incredibly powerful horns and haven't stopped attacking! We must take them down!"
Blanche said with a serious expression.
She was the oldest among them, and when she became serious, she immediately exuded the aura of a teacher.
The two students, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, immediately fell silent.
At this point, Heidi added, "The other demons below those two peaks are also closing in!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's teleport to the mountaintop and kill those demonic flying sheep," Mo Fan said.
"We're at least two kilometers away from there, how could we possibly get there!" Heidi exclaimed, wide-eyed.
"We can't get through, but Bai Mo can."
"No need for that."
Bai Mo shook his head slightly and looked at Blanche. "Teacher Blanche, please remove the Heavenly Sword. I have a way to deal with those ram's horn knives."
"What did you find?" Blanche asked instead of immediately retracting her statement.
She had just seen Bai Mo not make a move, but instead observe the spinning ram's horn knives.
"Don't be blinded by the dark demonic flames on the ram's horn knife."
The power that easily sliced through Zhao Manyan's defenses and could also damage your Heavenly Sword wasn't that pitch-black flame.
Bai Mo wasn't in a hurry, since the Youtian Sword could still hold out for a while.
"If it's not flames, then what is it? I do feel my defenses being breached very quickly," Zhao Manyan said, while Mu Bai beside him nodded in agreement.
"It's spatial power. Didn't you notice that once those ram's horn knives finished their attack, they didn't just fall to the ground, they disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the gleaming golden Youtian Sword, which stood before them like a city wall.
They all glanced at Bai Mo silently.
How are they supposed to open it? They don't have X-ray vision.
Bai Mo also realized that he had discovered it by using the Eye of Chaos to see through the concealment of the golden light.
That's right, the X-ray vision function that many people want can be achieved with his Chaos Eye.
However, it becomes very difficult to see through physical objects, which is equivalent to directly transforming physical objects into nothingness.
If this were applied to a person, it would be no different from simply tearing someone's clothes off.
"Cough, I sensed it through the sound system."
To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Bai Mo told a lie.
"In short, the Ram's Horn Blade contains spatial power, no matter how much, which is why it has such great penetrating power and why it is so continuous."
"Damn, so that means those black sheep were playing tricks all along!"
Zhao Manyan cursed, thinking that his defense was outdated and he felt a little depressed.
It turns out it wasn't that he was incapable, but that his opponent was about the same strength as him.
"In that case, what do you plan to do?" Blanche asked.
"The space will imprison these ram horn knives; these ram horns are quite good," Bai Mo said.
Upon hearing this, Blanche nodded slightly. "Then I will withdraw."
After speaking, she immediately withdrew the Heavenly Sword.
The golden city wall dispersed, and a series of black flame ram horn blades, spinning like whirlwinds, immediately formed a formation and fell.
"Certainly!"
A flash of silver starlight appeared in Bai Mo's eyes, but no dazzling light was seen. The more than one hundred ram horn knives immediately stopped in mid-air.
The ram's horns, their flames gradually dying out, gleamed with a cold, sharp light, and upon closer inspection, one could see silver markings.
Heidi and Mofan are space-type mages.
I only felt a slight tremor in the surrounding space.
Then, the hundred or so ram's horn knives, each carrying immense and terrifying cutting power, remained suspended in mid-air.
It looks like it was already drawn on!
They couldn't understand the use of this spatial magic at all.
Shouldn't the rhythmic space be lowered, using pressure to slowly lock down these ram's horn blades? (End of Chapter)
