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

Chapter 78 The Fallen Angel's Shock: Cheng Xiao is King?!

Cheng Xiao naturally understood what Asha Ruya meant by curiosity.

Although Cheng Xiao also cultivates the dark magic system of the magic plane, his true source of power does not come from the Dark King.

It must have been this unique and novel dark power that caught Asha's attention.

After all, Azharia was the fallen angel appointed by the Dark King Ventay, possessing a soul embryo comparable to that of the archangels of the Holy City.

It's normal that his senses are more sensitive than those of an ordinary dark mage.

"I also practice dark magic, so why aren't you curious about me? You're clearly after Brother Cheng," Mo Fan muttered under his breath, feeling indignant.

"Curious?" Cheng Xiao stared at Asha Ruya without speaking, as if asking with his eyes.

"Perhaps I misperceived it, I'm sorry."

Asha'ruya smiled sheepishly.

But her beautiful eyes would still occasionally glance in Cheng Xiao's direction.

It's impossible for her to be mistaken, given that she possesses the soul of a fallen angel.

Asharuya was certain that the source of darkness within Cheng Xiao's body was definitely extraordinary!

Not to mention super-level black magicians, even the forbidden-level black magician Asha's Yaya has come into contact with her.

But none of those powerful dark magicians gave her the same special feeling that Cheng Xiao did.

Cheng Xiao, what secrets does the dark power within you hold? Asha's beautiful eyes revealed a mixture of cunning and curiosity.

"It's getting dark, the spirits should be coming out soon, so you should eat this."

The short man's companion, the muscular man, pulled a black, garlic-like object from his backpack.

"You should have told me you had local specialties! I've been walking for most of the day, and I'm getting a bit hungry." Mo Fan didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

But the stench in his mouth made him vomit.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

"Don't spit it out! This is grey garlic; it can mask the scent of the living and prevent attacks from the undead," the short man quickly reminded him.

"Without the garlic, we might not even make it through the night!"

Mo Fan hid behind Cheng Xiao, sneering disdainfully:

"What's there to be afraid of? I have Brother Cheng by my side, why would I need this thing to stop the undead?"

The short man looked at Cheng Xiao. With his mid-level second-stage cultivation, he indeed couldn't see through Cheng Xiao's strength.

This shows that Cheng Xiao's strength is above his, but this is an ancient capital, a land of the dead where even high-level mages can perish at any time!

Asha and her two attendants took the grey garlic, but did not eat it in a hurry.

Asha's gaze remained fixed on Cheng Xiao, seemingly curious about what he would do.

The burly man handed the gray garlic to Cheng Xiao, but the latter shook his head and refused.

"Thank you, but I don't need it," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Young man, let's not cause trouble. The spirits at night are really scary," the short man quickly advised.

"If anything happens to you, my companions and I will turn around and leave without a care in the world!"

Short men are most afraid of this kind of thing.

I've heard before that many rich young men come here to gain experience, in order to show off in front of pretty girls.

He refused to take any safety precautions, and as a result, he and the girl were completely devoured by the undead.

Unexpectedly, he actually encountered such a terrible thing.

Ughhh!!!

A deep, rumbling roar echoed, and suddenly, large sections of the surrounding earth cracked open.

There are spirits of the dead that crawl directly out of the ground in this area, and others that emerge from tombs to move around.

The spirits of the ancient capital need death energy to move, and nighttime is precisely the time when death energy permeates the air!

Within a radius of just a few hundred meters around the team, hundreds of undead instantly crawled out!

Hordes of undead appeared, their scarlet eyes like eerie stars, staring intently at Cheng Xiao and the others.

Living creatures are a delicacy to the dead.

The short man and the strong man were so frightened that they ate the gray garlic in one go.

Asha Ruya remained calm, holding a handful of gray garlic in her hand but showing no intention of eating it, her gaze fixed on Cheng Xiao.

Her two attendants hesitated for a long time before eating the grey garlic.

Mo Fan frowned and shielded Cheng Xiao in front of him.

Cheng Xiao's deep, dark eyes flashed with a sinister purple light as he softly uttered a king's command:

"Stand up"

The same chilling aura descended upon Cheng Xiao, and Cheng Xiao's shadow instantly expanded a hundredfold!

Mo Fan and the others were plunged into this dark ocean of shadows. Mo Fan remained calm, but the others were startled.

Asharuya glanced at her shadow at her feet, frowned slightly, and looked at Cheng Xiao with disbelief in her beautiful eyes.

Sure enough, she was right; Cheng Xiao's source of dark power was different from that of other dark mages.

To put it even more dramatically, Cheng Xiao has completely transcended her understanding of the power of darkness!

All the dark power of mages in the magical plane comes from the Dark King, and Asha'ruya is a fallen angel.

If anyone could transcend her understanding, it would probably only be those few kings who were on equal footing with her adoptive father, the Dark King Wen Tai!

But how is that possible?!

How could Cheng Xiao, whose cultivation level is only at the high level, possibly be a king?!

"Could it be that he created a new system of black magic on his own?" Asha's thoughts began to shift.

But this guess seems too absurd.

Those who can create their own magic systems are all great figures in the long river of history.

Even forbidden spellcasters would look up to such a being; how could a high-level mage possibly achieve that?!

Asha's beautiful eyes were fixed on Cheng Xiao's retreating figure:

I really want to uncover all your secrets.

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

The appearance of the undead soldiers shocked the short man, the strong man, and Asha's two followers.

This time, Cheng Xiao kept a low profile, only summoning a few dozen warrior-level undead to protect him.

As for the tasks of massacre and clearing the way, they naturally fell to the two legion commanders!

"Dozens of warriors, and two commander-level ones?!" The short man's legs went weak.

This force would probably require three elite high-level teams to barely hold its own, right?

No wonder Cheng Xiao doesn't eat gray garlic; it's not that he's arrogant, but that it's completely unnecessary!

With such a valiant undead army, even encountering a Corpse Lord could be slain.

"Bell, find a few more corpse generals," Cheng Xiao said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bell flapped its wings and excitedly charged toward the tide of the dead.

That horde of undead, which even high-level mages found troublesome, was nothing more than a matter of less than three seconds in front of Bell!

Both the terrifying number of Shadow Soldiers and the formidable combat power displayed by Legion Commander Bell were shocking to the dwarf and others' understanding.

In contrast, Mo Fan seemed rather indifferent, after all, he had personally witnessed Cheng Xiao summoning a hundred warriors.

"Ring~~~"

A small porcelain doll suddenly flew out and landed on Cheng Xiao's shoulder, its big, bright eyes curiously looking around.

Cheng Xiao glanced at her sideways:

"Are you awake?"
