Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Cheng Xiao suddenly changed his destination and headed to Egypt.

Lingling was puzzled by this:

"Why the sudden decision to go to Egypt?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes. Anyway, let's go to Egypt to take care of some business first, and then go to South America," Cheng Xiao said.

Lingling said "Oh," and as long as it wasn't for class, she was fine with going anywhere.

Besides, she's never been to Egypt, which is one of the world's two major sources of undead!

She loves these kinds of exciting places.

We arrived in Cairo, Egypt.

Cheng Xiao recalled the bounty on Medusa's Tears, which had accumulated into a large bounty pool, totaling 3.5 billion!

Of course, Cheng Xiao wasn't really interested in the resources; what he cared about was the large amount of hunter points.

With his current Hunter Points and Lingling's Hunter Points, if he completes this bounty, he'll probably be able to reach the Seven-Star Hunter Master rank directly.

Having another identity is always a good thing, but of course, the most important thing is to make your sister-in-law happy.

To avoid Lingling threatening to break off their friendship and remove him from his hunter status later.

"Medusa's tears? That's interesting!"

Sure enough, Lingling was instantly delighted upon hearing about the large reward; such challenging rewards were her favorite.

However, with Cheng Xiao around, it doesn't seem to present much of a challenge.

Cheng Xiao said:

"I've gathered quite a bit of information. I'll rest for the night and head straight to the Sunset Temple tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lingling didn't have any better suggestions, so she agreed.

..............................

The following day, after resting for a night, the two headed directly to their destination.

Sunset Temple!

The Temple of the Setting Sun is also the stronghold of Apas, the third daughter of Medusa's mother.

Cheng Xiao's purpose in coming here was to find Apas and "cooperate" with him.

Apas is the offspring of Medusa's mother and a human woman, and is the human Medusa whose bloodline is closest to that of Medusa's mother.

The eldest daughter, Trisina, is the offspring of Medusa's mother and the Scorpion Queen, and is a scorpion-bodied Medusa.

The second daughter, Euryale, is the offspring of Medusa's mother and the harpy witch, and is known as the harpy Medusa.

Both the eldest and second daughters only have half Medusa blood.

Medusa's mother was originally a human, therefore, Apas, Medusa's third daughter who was of human blood, was the closest to her mother in bloodline.

Mother Medusa also intended to hand over the Serpent Empire to Apas to rule, but unfortunately Mother Medusa is now on the verge of death.

The power of the empire was now in the hands of the eldest and second daughters, who joined forces to target Apas and drive him out of the house.

Even worse, they wanted to exterminate Apas and relentlessly hunted down their own sister.

Apas also deeply resented her two older sisters, but unfortunately, she was born too late; the power of the empire had already been divided up by her sisters before she was born.

I have the will but not the ability.

Ultimately, Apas had no choice but to cooperate with the Egyptian military, which gave him a fighting chance.

Even though the Egyptian military is no match for the Serpent Empire now controlled by her two older sisters, it is not as weak as before, unable to even put up a fight.

Apas had been conserving his energy, waiting for an opportunity to completely defeat his two older sisters.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

Cheng Xiao and Lingling set foot on the land of Baige and arrived at the ruins of the temple with its broken walls and crumbling walls.

This towering temple, constructed of marble, is more like a pilgrimage site for giants, sacred and ancient, inaccessible to ordinary humans.

"Legend has it that the Sunset Temple has a special curse; once you step within three kilometers of the Sunset Temple, your body will gradually rot. The specific reason is unknown," Lingling said.

"The rumors are true, but it's caused by something called the 'Scorching Evil Eye.' Once it's removed, everything will be fine."

Cheng Xiao first put a protective layer of 'Dominator Power' on Lingling to prevent her weak and delicate body from being burned.

"Is that thing?" Jiuyouhou floated ahead and asked, pointing to something that looked like an eye on a mud tower in the distance.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, it's that thing. Go and get it," Cheng Xiao said.

"Please wait a moment."

The Evil Eye of Destruction can also damage the Nine Netherworlds, but it can only deal with commanders and high-level mages at most.

What level of ghost is the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds? This kind of damage is nothing to her.

Soon, Jiuyou Hou brought out the "Evil Eye of Destruction" and handed it to Cheng Xiao.

Her actions also alerted the guards here, the Silver Serpent Warriors.

The Silver Serpent Warrior takes on the form of a serpent, clad in silver scale armor, and stands like a majestic knight!

There are more than ten of them, all of them extremely powerful creatures among the commander-level beings!

Before Cheng Xiao could make a move, Jiu Youhou wisely dealt with the dozen or so silver snake warriors.

Cheng Xiao nodded in satisfaction and stored the distorted eye in his personal space.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful mental force locked onto him.

A demon of the Great Monarch level!

Cheng Xiao met the gaze of that spiritual force, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if responding to the owner of that spiritual force with provocation.

The owner of this spiritual power is also the master of the Sunset Temple, Apas!

Realizing that Cheng Xiao had taken the "Evil Eye of Destruction" and killed more than ten of her Silver Serpent Warriors, she was naturally furious.

Apas summoned the entire fighting force of the Sunset Temple, not just the Silver Serpent Warriors, but also many more of his Serpent minions.

Apas appeared at the highest point of the Sunset Temple, looking down at Cheng Xiao, and said angrily:

"Human, how dare you!"

"Let's chat," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"There's nothing to talk about. You'll have to pay for the deaths of my dozen or so Silver Serpent Warriors!" Apas roared.

Cheng Xiao didn't care at all; Apas was, after all, a ruthless Medusa.

If I want her to have a proper talk with me, I'll have to use some tactics.

"Your Majesty, I think this Medusa girl is quite pretty. Shall I capture her for you to play with?" Queen Jiuyou teased.

Cheng Xiao nodded:

"Okay, take care of her in three minutes."

Jiuyouhou's smile froze on her face, her beautiful eyes looking at Cheng Xiao with resentment. How could he ruin things like that?!

Cheng Xiao glared at her, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, time seemed to be paused, and everything froze, including the Nine Netherworld Queen!

Eye of Time and Space!

Cheng Xiao took out the "Eternal Sword" and instantly appeared beside Apas, breaking the freeze on time.

Apas felt a deadly danger looming over her pale neck; a mere touch would be enough to kill her.

Although losing her head wouldn't kill her, this platinum longsword contained a power capable of severing her soul.

Her beautiful, golden-pink eyes were filled with disbelief as she cautiously turned to look at Cheng Xiao, a pleading look in her eyes.

Cheng Xiao held the Eternal Sword to her neck with one hand, and patted her fair and beautiful face with the other, laughing:

"Now... can we talk properly?" (End of Chapter)
