Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

The North Gate Tower is located at the northern outer city gate. It resembles a magnificent fortress situated on the city wall, and the signal for gathering is sent out from here.

When Lin Chen and the others arrived, the city gate corridor was already crowded with people, but most of them were only beginner-level mages. After all, most intermediate-level mages had duties to perform and very few were idle. Trainees like Zhou Min were considered quite special.

Just as Lin Chen and the others were wondering what to do next, a loud voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Mages of intermediate or higher rank, please come up to the city wall. Other mages, please remain where you are and await further orders."

So, Lin Chen and his companions followed the sparse crowd to a hall on the city wall. This hall was open at both ends, and they could see the scenery outside the city at a glance.

"Is this all there is?" a somewhat gruff voice asked.

Immediately afterwards, a bearded man descended from a higher flight of stairs, followed by a palace guard and a military intelligence officer.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Some mid-level mages who frequented this place quickly offered respectful greetings.

Mo Fan glanced around and immediately recognized the councilor. He glared at Lin Chen and said with a look of annoyance, "How come I keep running into this old man everywhere?"

Councilor Zhu Meng, who was scanning the crowd, also spotted Mo Fan and Lin Chen, and his eyes widened: "Meeting you, Mo Fan, is pretty unlucky for me too."

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the councilor!" The military intelligence officer standing behind Zhu Meng shouted at Mo Fan.

Councilor Zhu waved his hand, stopping the next move of the Military Intelligence Bureau behind him. Back in Hangzhou, Mo Fan had scolded him quite a bit, so he really didn't expect the kid to respect him much. He found Lin Chen much more agreeable; he was strong and respected people. He hoped that Mo Fan and Lin Chen would contribute more in the upcoming operations.

"I am very glad that everyone could come here, but I have some bad news to tell you. A Fiend Abyss has appeared 30 kilometers to the north," Councilor Zhu Meng said very seriously.

Sha Yuan!!!

After Zhu Meng uttered those two words, the mid-level mages who had gathered all showed expressions of panic.

"What is the Abyss of Fiends? I've heard of it several times since I came to the ancient capital, and it sounds terrifying," Mo Fan asked.

However, soon after, the team leader Zhong Zishan introduced Sha Yuan to Mo Fan and Lin Chen, who had only recently arrived in the ancient capital.

The Abyss of Fiends is known as the furnace of hell. Standing atop it, you can clearly see the hellish scene within: hundreds of ghosts roar with the most vengeful fury, thousands of corpses gnaw at anything that moves, and ten thousand demons stretch out their claws, awaiting a drenching of blood…

Furthermore, Sha Yuan also possesses the ability to teleport, allowing it to instantly move to other locations.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Councilor Zhu Meng dropped another bombshell.

"Six months ago, Sha Yuan first appeared at the Sha Wang River, more than 600 kilometers away from the ancient capital."

Three months ago, Sha Yuan appeared for the second time in Xianchi, a hundred kilometers from the ancient capital. This time, Sha Yuan appeared thirty kilometers north of the ancient capital. In other words, Sha Yuan is getting closer to the ancient capital each time!

"What?! Such a thing actually happens?!"

"It's getting closer each time; won't it descend directly upon the ancient capital next time?!"

"Isn't it said that the Abyss of Fiends has spatial uncertainty? Could it be a coincidence that it keeps attacking our ancient capital?"

"We also hope it's a coincidence, but we have to consider more things." The military officer who had been silent standing next to Zhu Meng finally spoke up.

"Were we summoned here to fight against the Abyss of Fiends? That thing is simply beyond human resistance!"

As soon as these words were uttered from the crowd, everyone fell silent, their breathing becoming rapid. This was no joke; resisting the Abyss of Fiends was tantamount to courting death.

No, there is a difference. Entering the Abyss of Fiends is worse than death.

"Every time Sha Yuan appears, he leaves behind a dense aura of death. This aura gathers warrior-level and commander-level undead. The reason I've summoned everyone here is to hope that you can defend the city walls tonight and stop the undead from attacking the city if they come," Zhu Meng said loudly.

"As long as we're not sent to explore the Abyss of Evil, what's a city defense?"

"Rest assured, Your Honor, we will eliminate any undead that attack!"

"It is everyone's responsibility to protect the city walls."

Upon hearing that they were not going to cause trouble for Sha Yuan, but rather to defend the city, the mages all breathed a sigh of relief. The students of the ancient capital's academy were even more energized, preparing to meet the attack of the undead.

"roar!""

Just as everyone was expressing their willingness to help, a roar that shook the steel fortress came from the north, and at the same time, a gigantic black shadow appeared in the distant sky.

All eyes turned to the enormous shadow in the distance, which was a monarch-level undead—the Ghost Tyrant.

"It's that guy again! He wants to use the deathly energy brought by the Abyss of Fiends to gather more undead and break through the northern city wall in one fell swoop." Zhu Meng said angrily, "It seems we must carry out the previously planned strategy and completely slay the Ghost Yue Tyrant!"

Lin Chen really admired Zhu Meng. His courage to lead from the front was something that other high-ranking councilors did not possess, and it was precisely because of this that Zhu Meng held such a high position in the National Magic Association.

"No, absolutely not! The Ghost Tyrant has countless undead by his side. If you all fail, who will command this North City? Everything will descend into chaos." Staff Officer Zhu firmly opposed the high-ranking officers risking their lives.

"How about I join?" Hunter King Du Xiao stepped out from the crowd, a calm yet confident smile on his face.

Meanwhile, the alluring man in a blue leather jacket who had been following Hunter King Du Xiao walked towards Lin Chen and Mo Fan. "What's wrong? You two top students from Pearl Academy, tired of killing demons, have come to the ancient capital to kill undead for fun?"

"I've come all the way to the ancient capital and I've run into so many familiar faces." Mo Fan shrugged.

"I came with Mo Fan," Lin Chen replied.

Although Lin Chen did not meet the demon man during the Scaled Demoness incident, he did meet him a few times when Lingling asked him for information.

Although Mo Fan did not experience the Scaled Demoness incident due to Lin Chen's intervention, he obviously encountered the Demon Man in his later life, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

"Alright, with the ancient capital plagued by undead cholera, how could we busybodies not gather here?" the demon man said.

However, Lin Chen, Mo Fan, and the demon man didn't chat much; instead, they focused their attention on Du Xiao, Zhu Meng, and the others.

As expected, Hunter King Du Xiao's influence was still significant. Staff Officer Zhu, who had firmly opposed the leaders risking their lives to carry out the decapitation mission, finally agreed.
