Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 285 Awakening

Although the undead are much stronger than demons with flesh and blood, these undead were all hastily summoned by Lin Chen from the body of a sand rat, and their strength has not been fully tempered.

After holding off the gerbil army for a period of time, with the assistance of gerbils that joined the battle later, Lin Chen's undead army began to falter, and a large number of gerbil undead were wiped out.

"Hey hey hey!"

The gerbil leader that joined later, seeing that they had regained the upper hand, immediately let out a sharp cry. Many gerbils that had dealt with the undead around them immediately changed their targets. Instead of charging towards the cave entrance guarded by Lin Chen, they began digging into the cave directly below them.

"He's actually figured it out. It's a pity my necromancy isn't to be underestimated either," Lin Chen muttered.

"boom!"

Lin Chen first threw a punch, summoning a long dragon of fire that annihilated all the nearby gerbils. Then, he stomped his left foot heavily on the ground, and blurry gray star trails appeared beneath his feet, quickly transforming into a star map radiating scarlet light.

"Awaken once more, my spirits!"

Lin Chen gently raised his right hand, and under the effect of necromancy, the grizzly undead that had just been killed by the grizzly rats stood up again and frantically tore at the grizzly rats next to them.

Not only that, but gradually, the sand began to loosen, and the gerbils that had just burrowed into the sand seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they fled from the sand as if they were running away.

"Nene!"

Terrifying cries emanated from the sand below. One by one, the remains and remnants of demons that had died on this land were summoned by Lin Chen and awoke from their slumber, killing all the gerbils that had not yet managed to escape in the sand.

Meanwhile, as Lin Chen's necromantic magic continued to seep into the sand, the gerbil corpses that Lin Chen and Garurumon had previously killed in the passage began to turn into undead and rush out of the passage, charging towards the gerbil army.

With the balance of power shifting, the shrew legion gradually became no match for Lin Chen's undead army. With a mournful screech from the leading shrew commander, the remaining undead began to retreat, no longer entangled with Lin Chen's group.

Before long, the gerbils had completely retreated, and if it weren't for the many gerbil carcasses left on the ground, it would have been as if they had never been there at all.

Lin Chen waited at the cave entrance for a while longer. Seeing that the gerbils still showed no sign of returning, he left the undead to guard the entrance while he quickly returned to the underground cave with Garurumon.

Upon returning to the cave, Greymon and Groudon, though still unconscious, had regained their normal auras, were unharmed, and their power was steadily increasing, suggesting they were absorbing the power of the demonic veins to evolve into a higher form.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't disturb them. He exited his Digimon form and led Gatomon, BlackGatomon, and Garurumon to the other side of the cave, where they began to dig out the magic stone crystals on the cave wall.

The cave walls were extremely sturdy, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to support such a massive cave. However, the miner Lin Chen was digging was a Digimon with Commander-level strength, which was unimaginable to ordinary people, and even a waste of high-end combat power.

Through the relentless efforts of the three Digimon, they dug deeper and deeper along the cave walls, unearthing a number of fire and earth-type magic energy crystals. The energy contained within them was extremely concentrated, at least ten times more than that of the magic energy crystals commonly found on the market.

"These gerbils are quite formidable. They've managed to find elemental magic veins so deep underground and even dig precisely to the top of the veins. But can these gerbils, led only by commanders, really defend such a large magic energy vein?" Lin Chen wondered to himself.

"Whatever, I'll leave once Greymon and Groudon wake up. It's not my problem if they can't hold out. I should focus on mining magic ore for now," Lin Chen muttered to himself.

After digging for a while, Lin Chen felt that the three Digimon—Garurumon, Gatomon, and BlackGatomon—were digging too slowly. He immediately rushed to the surface, intending to bring down all the gerbil spirits.

Let them help you mine the veins and collect as many magic stones as possible.

Just as Lin Chen was about to reach the ground, he suddenly discovered that the four Grand Commander undead he had placed on the ground to guard him had suddenly lost contact with him. There could only be one reason for this.

That means all four of these undead are dead.

These four undead lost their soul connection with him almost at the same instant. The one who made the move must be a monarch-level demon.

"The one who made the move must be a monarch-level demon from the gerbil clan. I was wondering how the gerbil clan could choose such a place as their nest. I didn't expect they actually had a monarch-level demon backing them up. I need to quickly put away Greymon and Groudon."

Just as Lin Chen was about to activate the demonic artifact imprint in his spiritual world and head towards the location of the cave...

The cave above Lin Chen's head began to collapse, and a huge, sharp claw reached in from the top of the cave.

It grabbed at Lin Chen with great precision.

Sensing the danger from above, Lin Chen immediately entered Armed Evolution mode, transforming into a Digimon.

They quickly dodged the attack from the giant claw above their heads.

Although the giant claw didn't hit Lin Chen, it forcefully ripped open the cave above Lin Chen's head, completely exposing him to the vast desert.

At this moment, a giant gerbil, tens of meters long and as tall as a three- or four-story building, appeared in front of Lin Chen, and a monarch-level pressure descended upon him.

"Hey hey hey!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

A gerbil that had previously fought with Lin Chen and the others emerged from a corner and began describing something to the gerbil lord.

Seeing this, Lin Chen turned around and rushed into the ground before the leader gerbil could finish speaking.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came from behind Lin Chen. Lin Chen subconsciously turned his head and saw the sharp claws of the Sand Rat Monarch slamming into him not far behind. If he hadn't transformed into a Fire God Beast and become much faster, he probably would have been smashed into a meat patty by that blow.

Lin Chen fled quickly, while the Sand Rat Monarch commanded its army of sand rats to chase after him, while it widened the path leading to the underground cave.

Without the obstruction of monarch-level gerbils, even commander-level gerbils were no match for Lin Chen, and Lin Chen quickly left the gerbil army behind.

When Lin Chen arrived at the cave, preparing to return Greymon and Groudon to the Digital Space, he discovered that they had already awakened from their slumber, and the aura emanating from them was much stronger than before.

Just as the Digimon were about to ask Lin Chen why he was in such a hurry, several gerbils rushed out from behind him, and the Digimon rushed to meet him without Lin Chen having to say a word.
