Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 321 Showdown with the Dark Sword Master

As Lin Chen was retreating, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis looming over him. He instinctively recalled Garurumon into his Digital Space, summoned the Serpent Armor, and activated the Shadow Cloak, instantly disappearing into the darkness.

When Lin Chen's figure appeared at the location of the Chinese National Team, he was shocked to find that the human mages who had been in the same straight line as him had all been reduced to fragments and blood rain by the terrifying attack.

"Damn it, he actually ambushed me! He's shameless!" Lin Chen looked in the direction the attack came from and saw the Dark Sword Master holding a longsword, pointing it at the spot where he had been standing. He couldn't help but curse angrily.

Seeing that Lin Chen had successfully dodged his attack, the Dark Sword Master looked at Lin Chen calmly, raising his sword-wielding right hand high again, seemingly preparing to launch another attack on Lin Chen.

However, the advisor Fenner and another super-rank mage, Shero, would not allow it to continue attacking. Even if its next attack could not kill Lin Chen, the other human mages were not as powerful as Lin Chen and might all die tragically at the hands of the Dark Sword Master.

Under the cover of strategist Fenner and another high-ranking mage, Shero, the vanguard team joined up with the main force two kilometers from the pyramid.

"What should we do next?!" Staff Officer Fenner was starting to lose control of his emotions.

Just when we were about to reach the Pyramid Phantom, a Dark Sword Master suddenly appeared.

"Let's retreat. With the Dark Sword Master around, we can't get close to the pyramids. With our current forces, we can still fight our way back to the city-state," Sherlock said.

"What can we do if we go back? This is all the power we can muster. If we go back now..."

"Whether we can even get back to this position next time is a question," Staff Officer Finner shook his head.

"The Dark Sword Master will abide by a final battle pact, and I think this is our only way to break into the pyramid," Mo Fan said earnestly, looking at his advisor, Fenner.

"What contract?" Sherlock asked, puzzled.

Mo Fan then gave a general description of the Dark Pact.

"I think we can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, we should send out powerful mages to hold off the Dark Sword Master and then take the opportunity to rush into the base of the pyramid!" Fenner said.

After a brief rest, the army advanced again, coming within a little over a kilometer of the pyramids.

As expected, the Dark Sword Master reappeared, still surrounded by more than four hundred Wrathful Sword Death Servants. In the previous battle, he had not been able to kill many of them.

"Gloria and I will hold it off for enough time. By then, you must reach the pyramid no matter what. Please!" Advisor Fenner said to Lin Chen and the others with a determined look in his eyes.

Lin Chen possesses several commander-level summoned creatures, and Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu are also quite powerful. As long as they can hold off the Dark Sword Master, with Lin Chen's strength and the help of Mo Fan, Ai Jiangtu, and the Chinese National Team, they will definitely be able to break through Fang Jian's encirclement.

Looking back at the distant city-state, a bitter longing flashed in Fenner's eyes. He then took a deep breath, and six pairs of wind wings appeared behind him. He flapped his wind wings and flew towards the Dark Sword Master.

"In the name of the commander of Pushini, I challenge you to a duel to the death!" Fenner pointed at the Dark Sword Master and said emphatically in Egyptian.

Fenner's voice came down from the sky and reached the ears of the group of military mages fighting below. While feeling sorrow, the military mages were also filled with fighting spirit, and they rushed madly towards the undead in front of them.

The Dark Sword Master stared coldly at Fenner, his empty yet eerie pupils filled with disdain. He did not accept Fenner's provocation, but instead slowly raised the black greatsword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword at Lin Chen in the crowd.

"What's going on? Is there no Dark Pact at all, or does it refuse your challenge?" Shero shouted, flying to Fenner's side, ready to join her in the attack.

"It only accepts challenges from the dark ones, and its target is that young member of the Chinese National Team," Fenner said helplessly.

As soon as Advisor Fenner finished speaking, a surge of dark energy erupted from the Dark Sword Master, forcing back the surrounding undead and humans.

Immediately afterwards, the Dark Pact manifested as a huge triangle, first outlining an area completely encircled by dark energy, then climbing into the air to form a triangular prism that led to the clouds of the night, enveloping Lin Chen and the Dark Sword Master together.

"What's going on? How did Lin Chen become a Dark One? And Lin Chen didn't even issue a challenge!" Jiang Shaoxu asked Mo Fan in confusion, her face full of worry.

"I don't know why they identified Lin Chen as a member of the Dark Ones, but the reason for challenging Lin Chen..."

"It must have heard Lin Chen curse at the Dark Sword Master when he ambushed him earlier," Mo Fan said. "However, you don't need to worry too much about Lin Chen's safety; you know his strength."

"Even if Lin Chen's strength far surpasses his peers, he is only a high-level mage, at the commander level. This is a monarch-level mage, and even if he is only a sub-monarch, he is not someone he can deal with," Zu Jiming said from the side.

"Shut up! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted angrily. After Mo Fan's reminder, she also remembered Lin Chen's hidden strength and felt much more at ease, but Zu Jiming's words still made her unhappy.

When Zu Jiming wanted to say something more, he noticed that most of the people in the group were looking at him with hostility, so he immediately shut his mouth.

Inside the dark arena, Lin Chen sensed the power of the dark contracts surrounding him, and looking at the Dark Sword Master in the distance, a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

He thought that the challenge would still be against Mo Fan, since he was just a summoning mage, while Mo Fan was a demon-type dark being with the potential to become an evil saint king.

As it turned out, I never imagined that I was also a dark person.

However, Lin Chen was not clear about exactly which aspect of himself led the Dark Sword Master to consider him a Dark One.

It could be because I've been to the Dark Dimension, or because I currently own an Ultimate Demonic Beast among my Digimon.

BlackGatomon, or perhaps LadyDevimon was summoned by him.

But according to this logic, I might actually be a being of light, since I've summoned Angemon and Angewomon before.

As various thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind, a sudden surge of murderous intent swept over him. Lin Chen raised his head and saw only a giant sword gleaming with a cold light and surrounded by death runes, slashing towards him from afar!
