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

Chapter 99 A Magnificent Crushing Strike

While the Heavenly Flame Funeral was being enjoyed by the Dan Yan Stone Demons, Wu Xuan and the others continued their frantic rush towards the opposite side, with wind and earth ripples appearing one after another, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them.

Scarface's earth element cultivation was not high, only at the initial stage of perfection, and she quickly fell to the back of the group.

She was running out of magic power, and coincidentally, they had moved further away from the Danxia rock formations they had just passed and arrived at a more distant place.

The new location seemed to hold new dangers, for the ground in front of her suddenly turned deep red.

The scarred woman's expression changed, and she rolled the ground beneath her feet, trying to pull her to the side.

boom!!!!

With a loud bang, the crimson stones scattered in all directions like blades and nails.

A bizarre head, engulfed in crimson flames, burst forth, its body indistinguishable from the rest.

From a distance, it looks like a giant head!

The flying debris blocked the scarred woman and the mage she was with. Before they could react, a black and red crack appeared on the Dan Yan Stone Demon's huge body, from which a scorching, magma-like aura emanated.

Suddenly, a thick, scalding, rosy lava erupted from the crack. The intense heat caused a burning pain even before one got close. The lava covered a large area, like a giant wave, and swept towards the scarred woman and the two people she was with.

The mages who were brought along were one light-elemental mage and the other plant-elemental mage. They never expected that Dan Yan Stone Demons would appear here. In their view, all the Dan Yan Stone Demons had been lured away by Ace's Heavenly Flame Funeral.

The scarred woman would never have thought of these things, but the scar on her face taught her that she could never let her guard down, no matter what.

"Useless man!"

The scarred woman glanced at the trembling light mage and the dejected plant mage, snorted coldly, and used the last bit of her earth wave power to fling them away.

Faced with the oncoming waves of molten lava, she instantly unleashed the intermediate-level magic she had been preparing for a long time.

In this arid and scorching region, wisps of frost and moisture appeared, and a white star map unfolded beneath the scarred woman's feet, freezing a large area of ​​Danxia landforms around her into ice.

Thick, long, and hard ice chains tore through the ground and shot out, swirling and intertwining in front of her to form a thick and sturdy ice shield.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~~~~~~~~!

The waves of magma crashed against the ice shield, and the scorching heat directly eroded most of the ice lock. The crimson flames, comparable to spirit-level flames, were clearly much more powerful than the scarred woman's ice lock.

Furthermore, since Ice Lock wasn't exactly a proper defensive spell, the ice shield that Scarface had created was about to crumble in just a few breaths.

Wu Xuan caught the two mages that the scarred woman had thrown towards them, then looked around and noticed that the ground in other places was also gradually turning dark red. He immediately gave instructions.

"She can't die. The scent of flesh and blood will attract the surrounding Dan Yan Rock Demons. We've entered a new area. Ace, give us a powerful punch. Don't let those underground guys get drawn to the battle."

"Then who will save her! That tide of lava is about to destroy her magic." Wen Du frowned in a deep voice. He was a destruction mage and wouldn't save anyone.

"Of course it's me," a short man in the group said confidently, the ground beneath his feet gleaming with a brownish light.

"Rock barrier!"

Then a rich brown light gathered on the ground beneath his feet, and following the guidance of his will, just as the ice in front of the scarred woman was about to completely melt away.

The rumbling rock barrier rose from nowhere, forming a jagged, thick, and massive arc in front of the scarred woman.

The booming sound, like a stampede of giant elephants, shook the scarred woman's face. The waves of molten lava were firmly blocked behind her, but her eyes were not relaxed.

She could sense that the Dan Yan Rock Demon was approaching.

If I can't even withstand one of his attacks, how can I possibly withstand a second?!

"Brother Bai, could you please rescue Dao Yan?"

Seeing that Ace had already unleashed a fierce punch that formed flames, but the Dan Yan Rock Demon was not attracted by the flames, but instead stared intently at the Scarface, Wu Xuan spoke up to Bai Mo.

"Brother Bai if you need anything, Little Bai if you don't. Second Commander, where's your... your telekinesis?"

"I'm not very good at it."

Bai Mo rolled his eyes, complaining as he casually picked it up.

A flash of silver light appeared in the air, and Dan Yan Yan Mo, who was about to spit, was grabbed by an invisible force and then thrown into a blazing inferno ignited by Aislie's fist.

Meanwhile, Scarface Dao Yan also took the opportunity to return to the group.

Dao Yan glanced at Bai Mo and casually said thank you, but the seriousness in her voice did not match her seemingly indifferent manner.

Bai Mo nodded slightly. This woman named Dao Yan and that squinty-eyed man had foul mouths, but they didn't seem to have distorted values.

Well, both of them were kind-hearted. Seeing that Bai Mo and Ling Ling were young, they did not recommend that the two of them go into the dangerous wilderness.

However, his words were too harsh and sharp, as if he was looking for trouble.

Dao Yan, led by Bai Mo, and the group continued on their way.

However, Wu Xuan keenly noticed that the Dan Yan Rock Demons in this central area seemed to have a larger appetite than those outside, and the density of Dan Yan Rock Demons was also higher.

Ace's powerful punch remained unchanged, but the duration of the punch was significantly shorter than before.

He wouldn't have noticed this if he hadn't been constantly observing the Dan Yan Rock Demons.

This requires Ace to constantly use magic to attract the Danyan Stone Golem in front of him.

Therefore, after walking for a while longer, Ace had run out of fire magic.

However, seeing the faint green in the distance, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Wendu immediately took over Ace's position.

With a wave of his hand, large swaths of blue-purple flames fell to the ground. The group continued their rapid advance without slowing down, and it was unclear how many times Wen Du had unleashed his magic.

Anyway, when everyone was about to head to the next place, flames had already been set off there.

Stepping back onto the relatively soft ground, feeling the bent wild grass beneath their feet, they all felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a catastrophe.

The feeling of constantly worrying that something big might pop out from under your feet and hit you is really not pleasant.

It was getting late, so the group rested there for the night before setting off again early the next morning.

After walking for five or six miles, the journey was relatively peaceful.

Shortly afterward, the two police dogs on leashes in the group started barking, indicating that someone was nearby.

The Wang brothers, who were in charge of the investigation, returned quickly.

"Commander, there's a tall forest ahead, that's where the mountain spirits are. The Wind-Seeking Guide is floating there."

The group was immediately overjoyed, as they were genuinely worried that there might be some insurmountable demonic dwellings ahead.

Under the reconnaissance of the Wang brothers, the group arrived at the foot of the tall trees.

Under Wu Xuan's instructions, the group set up their position and simultaneously deployed rescue detectors specifically designed to detect humans and demon detectors designed to detect demons.

The fluctuations from the detector quickly attracted a group of mountain spirits along with other demons. The mountain spirits seemed afraid of having their lair discovered, so they attacked with great effort.

The towering trees around them transformed into their helpers, like tentacles, constantly lashing out at them with powerful and relentless blows that were no less than those of a high-level plant-type Ghost Wood Hand!

Fortunately, the defensive mage in the team was also formidable, using his defensive abilities to block all the attacks.

The other two fire mages in the team, who had been preparing magic, along with Wendu, unleashed three Heavenly Flame Funerals.

Suddenly, fiery clouds gathered across the sky, and the fiery red sunset illuminated the entire world. Large swaths of fiery red rain fell, igniting the trees, and in an instant, it seemed as if the whole world had turned into a world of flames.

The flames burned fiercely, and all the dozens of Xuanlin Cloud Leopards and Red-Eyed Kingfishers that had surrounded and attacked the group were burned to death.

Centered on them, the mountain spirits hidden in a large area of ​​forest and vegetation, along with the vegetation where they were hiding, were all reduced to scorched earth.

Under Wendu's control, the fire did not spread into the tall forest where humans might be hiding.

Instead, it only turned the area within a hundred meters of them into red soil before extinguishing the flames.

Perhaps out of fear of the magical aura here, neither the mountain spirits nor other demons came to destroy the detector again.

Perhaps it's because the nearby demons have all been eliminated, so the fluctuations from the detectors are imperceptible to humans.

But to the demons, it's just noisy noise, like old ladies dancing in a public square with a big speaker.

The surrounding residents would be tempted to get rid of that annoying thing, but the demons were even more irritable and would immediately come to destroy what annoyed them.

The sound was very faint to the distant demons, not much different from the sound of the wind rustling through the grass. No demon would travel such a long distance unless it was an extremely irritable and cruel one.

Before long, the two detectors completed their work, and specialized analysis mages collected information to create a detailed map of the distribution of demons and humans in this tall forest.

Lingling glanced at the analyst's computer and then looked away.

Once the distribution map was completed, the mage immediately gave a report.

"The outer ring of the martial arts group and the high forest is full of mountain spirits, while humans are concentrated in the innermost part. We don't know how many criminal mages are inside yet."

Wu Xuan nodded slightly and glanced at the sky. In the distance, a dazzling golden-red light rose out of thin air.

This is a signal from another hunter group; they have also arrived here.

"Let's go, let's charge in!"

As Wu Xuan spoke, he gestured for Wen Du to walk ahead.

Upon entering the tall forest, not far in, the towering trees, each tens of meters high, resembling pillars supporting the sky, immediately seemed like mutated, eerie creatures.

Tentacle-like branches grew rapidly from the main trunk, transforming into countless wooden spears that pierced towards the crowd.

Above everyone's heads, clusters of dense, tall leaves fell like heavy boulders, accompanied by a whistling sound as they crashed down upon them.

In an instant, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ocean of demons, with attacks coming from all directions.

Everyone had experienced this scene before when they were protecting the detector. As long as the mountain spirits possessed trees, they would have a huge ability to control plants.

However, these tall trees seem to make these mountain spirits' abilities even stronger.

What everyone had to do was block these attacks while destroying the plants they were attached to.

In this way, they themselves would die or be seriously injured, making it impossible for them to possess again.

"Defense mages, take turns guarding! Battle mages, prepare your spells!"

Only two members of the team were truly specializing in defense. The first to attack was a water mage, a large cloud of mist rising around him, and in the hazy light, a series of azure star charts could be seen appearing around him.

They surrounded the water mage, and the beautiful water reflection made her body appear majestic and imposing, like an unshakeable heavenly wall.

"Water Bloom Canopy!"

With a light tap of the finger, magic blossomed, and a deep blue water barrier spread out like ripples, surrounding everyone.

The powerful, wood-like tentacles, the sharp wooden spears, and the countless falling logs overhead—these terrifying attacks were all blocked by the rapidly flowing water-based sky barrier, and none of them caused any harm to the people inside.

But the attacks were endless; the plants danced wildly, like crazed demons.

The relentless attacks continued to strike the barrier.

Like a group of mages, they kept bombarding them with magic, and the Water Splendor Canopy couldn't hold them off for long!

These attacks also acted as shields for the mountain spirits, causing most of the power of the Ice Locks and Fierce Fists that the battle mages could unleash to be negated by the attacks midway.

Even the high-level Rock Demon's Eye could not penetrate this dense barrage of attacks.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xuan immediately gave instructions.

"Brother Bai, let's work together to stop these attacks."

After he finished speaking, a bright silver light shone in his eyes, and a diamond-shaped space enveloped the sky above everyone's heads. The heavy falling leaves immediately sank slowly as if they had fallen into an invisible pool of water.

Bai Mo was just as fast. With a wave of his hand, brilliant silver light flowed and danced from his fingertips, transforming into a star map.

"Freeze!"

The mysterious ancient silver painting seemed to hold secrets frozen in time. Accompanied by Bai Mo's calm yet majestic magical voice, it spun around, creating circles of silver light patterns that brushed past everyone like a gentle breeze.

Each member of the Xuandu Hunters Group did indeed feel the sensation after the wind had passed. They saw the silver light scrape past the lashing tentacles, the flying wooden spears, and the mountain spirit trees that were wildly attacking them. Everything was frozen in time!

All the attacks, even the sunlight, seemed to freeze in the space illuminated by that ring of light.

"broken!"

Another word was uttered from Bai Mo's mouth, and before anyone knew it, a silvery glow had illuminated another brilliant star picture above everyone's heads. Within the picture, streaks of silver light shone, as if a god had opened his eyes.

As the silver gaze fell, the solidified space trembled violently, and a violent spatial roar resounded endlessly.

Everyone felt the sunlight distort, and then they saw the solidified objects: wooden hands, wooden whiskers, wooden guns, wooden swords, and tall trees and the mountain spirits within them, all turned into a thick cloud of flying wood chips!
