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

Inside the Temple of Sunset.

Cheng Xiao sat on the altar throne of Apas, where he was treated with great hospitality.

"Let's get down to business," Cheng Xiao said.

"My undead empire is at a disadvantage in the war against Khufu. I need your pure Medusa bloodline to lead the Serpent Empire and turn the tide."

"But right now, the power of the Serpent Empire is in the hands of my two older sisters. I am no match for them, and I can't help you much," Apas said cautiously.

She was probably terrified by Cheng Xiao's "divine judgment," so she had to be careful with every word she spoke, afraid of upsetting Cheng Xiao.

"That's easy, I'll just kill them, won't I?" Cheng Xiao laughed.

Upon hearing this, Apas was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

Then, she suddenly raised her golden-pink eyes and stared intently at Cheng Xiao, completely unable to believe it.

Cheng Xiao was actually willing to go to that vast and treacherous empire to assassinate her two older sisters for her sake?!

"Master, you, you're serious?!" Apas exclaimed in shock.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Cheng Xiao asked, pinching her cheek.

"I'm happy to show you the way. When shall we set off?" Apas asked impatiently.

She harbored deep resentment towards her two older sisters for their persecution, and wished she could tear them to pieces to vent her hatred.

If Cheng Xiao were truly willing to help her, with an archangel as her backer, even her two older sisters would have to die!

For a moment, Apas even had the idea that being Cheng Xiao's 'dog' wouldn't be so bad.

"Now!"

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

Cheng Xiao used the Eye of Time and Space directly, and under Apas's guidance, headed to the evil temple of the Mother of Medusa.

"Master, aren't your sister-in-law and that ghost coming with you?" Apas asked with some concern.

On this trip, Cheng Xiao only brought her along. Not to mention Lingling, he didn't even bring the Nine Netherworld Empress, who was a great monarch!

"What, are you questioning my abilities?" Cheng Xiao retorted.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Apas said tactfully.

"Although you are very powerful and seemingly omnipotent, we are ultimately facing the headquarters of the entire Serpent Empire. I'm afraid."

Cheng Xiao nodded:

"I understand, you're just afraid I can't beat them."

Apas looked resentful:

"That's an entire empire. There have been instances in history where archangels of the Holy City tried to cross the empire to kill the emperor and ascend to the Holy Temple."

"But the final result was predictable. They didn't even get to see the emperor before they were worn down to death by the entire empire's army."

Apas almost subconsciously explained the power of the Demon Empire to Cheng Xiao, only realizing what she was doing after she finished speaking.

"Master, I... I was wrong. I was just worried about you. Please don't chant it." Apas looked at Cheng Xiao with trepidation, afraid that the latter would chant the holy incantation again.

Cheng Xiao, however, didn't seem to care at all, and instead asked with a smile:

"Am I that scary? Do you think I'll curse you and bully you whenever I'm unhappy?"

Apas dared not respond, her impression of Cheng Xiao still lingering on the horror of the curse she cast on her.

"You're right. If it were an archangel during a normal tour, he would probably be worn down to death by the Serpent Empire's forces."

Cheng Xiao scoffed, "But I'm different from those good-for-nothings. I'm stronger than them."

These few simple words conveyed Cheng Xiao's confident and invincible spirit to the great monarch Apas.

At that moment, Apas instantly understood what Cheng Xiao meant when he said he was not bound by the Holy City.

Cheng Xiao completely disregarded the Holy City and its archangels.

The being who enslaved her was a special and powerful being beyond the Holy City, as powerful as the Archangel yet unrestrained.

A sense of anticipation arose in Apas's heart. If she obediently pleased Cheng Xiao, would everything be fine?

At least as long as Cheng Xiao is alive, she won't be bullied anymore.

"We're almost there," Apas said.

"That pyramid?" Cheng Xiao asked, pointing in the direction she was looking.

"Yes, both Mother's and the venomous patriarch's evil temples were built by Khufu. Using two large pyramids as a disguise was the most effective way to deceive people."

Apas explained, "This is also why Egyptian sorcerers searched for evil temples for thousands of years without success."

"The evil temple is located in these two large pyramids that they can see, but unfortunately they don't have the strength to break in and explore it."

"There's some truth to that." Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.

Apas continued:

"Besides, the evil temple of my mother and the evil temple of the venomous patriarch are actually connected. Although they are hundreds of kilometers apart in Egypt, there are dimensional rifts connecting them within the evil temples."

"Given Khufu's mastery of dimensional magic, this was within my expectations," Cheng Xiao said.

"We've arrived."

The two were currently suspended in the void above the large pyramid, which was surrounded by layers of serpent soldiers.

Further away, the Egyptian dead walk in the glow of the underworld!

The Egyptian undead are not of a high rank, but among the serpent soldiers guarding the pyramids, the strongest demon is the Three Scorpion Kings Medusa!

Scorpion tail and serpent body, the rightful monarch!

Three legitimate monarchs, each capable of ruling a small pyramid, are here merely guardian snakes watching over it.

"Master, I know a way to avoid them and get into the pyramid, do you know?"

Just as Apas was about to get up, Cheng Xiao grabbed his slender waist.

Apas's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly as she leaned against Cheng Xiao's chest. Da Lei, though pressed against him, dared not move.

"No need," Cheng Xiao explained simply, activating his Spacetime Divine Eye.

After locking onto the space inside the pyramid, they directly entered the independent space inside the pyramid!

"Master, how did you do that?" Apas asked curiously, raising his face.

Given her knowledge of the construction of the Temple of the Mother of Medusa, even a semi-forbidden spell-level space mage would find it difficult to infiltrate the temple from the outside.

The evil temple has seven levels of space, arranged in a fan shape from the inside out, with the first level being the largest level.

Those gathered here are the lowest-ranking serpent soldiers of the empire.

"Would I have brought only you if I wasn't absolutely certain?" Cheng Xiao retorted, his large hand unable to resist giving her a quick pinch on the waist.

"Nice waist, very flexible."

Apas let out a low, seductive moan, as if she had made up her mind, and raised her face with a fawning smile:

"If Master likes it, I... I don't mind."

"Does it matter if you mind?" Cheng Xiao retorted irritably.

"Too."

Apas nodded; she had no choice in the matter.

If Cheng Xiao wants it, she has to obediently wag her hips and serve him, which will displease Cheng Xiao, and he will then chant a spell to burn her soul.

Apas let out a long sigh in his heart, as if resigning himself to his fate. (End of Chapter)
