Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 174 The Temple Was Robbed? What Does That Have to Do With Me?

The blue-robed deacon panicked and quickly released his mental perception.

Soon, he noticed a strange domain power emanating from a creature resembling a demonic insect in the shadows of the street.

Just as he was about to let his spiritual power explore deeper into it.

The Void Realm expands.

His emotional turmoil vanished instantly.

In that instant.

Fear flashed in the eyes of the blue-clad deacon.

He was absolutely certain.

It was this domain power that instantly drained his ice domain.

I have never encountered anything so bizarre.

"What kind of monster is that?" the blue-robed deacon asked, staring intently at Chu Ming.

"A monster you don't need to know about."

Chu Ming smiled, dispelled his dragon form, and drew his Murasame longsword.

He had originally planned to conduct a trial.

But considering that the people from the Temple of Liberty are coming soon.

There is a high probability that they will forcibly take over.

Knowing so many of his secrets, this guy naturally couldn't keep him around any longer.

"you want……"

The blue-robed deacon's eyes widened, and suddenly he clearly sensed Chu Ming's killing intent.

But he hadn't finished speaking.

The long sword, burning with purplish-blue poisonous flames, slashed down from his forehead to his chest.

The fragile human body.

It couldn't withstand the power unleashed by Murasame at all; this was a demon-slaying tool reinforced with monarch-grade materials.

The corpse vanished into thin air in an instant.

Chu Ming is not one to leave hidden dangers.

At the moment the blue-clad butler died, Gengar, which existed in the shadows, devoured his remaining soul completely.

Regardless of his motives for assassinating me.

He was too lazy to take the time to understand it.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Just deal with them one by one and that's it.

Of course, I won't let anyone else find out.

……

Not long after.

Several figures dressed in black and gold flew in from the distant night sky.

It was a mage from the Temple of Liberty.

The monks hovered at the end of the street, frowning as they surveyed the ruins below.

The street suffered considerable damage.

This is clearly not the work of an ordinary person.

Moreover, the aura it exudes... is too much like a domain.

Soon, a purple current surged forth. The purple current appeared chaotic and disordered, yet it formed an ever-strengthening cycle, eventually circling around a solemn-looking middle-aged monk.

The Purple Wind Temple mage sensed it for a while.

The cold did not last any longer.

The air gradually began to rise.

He looked around and, after a long while, made sure the assailant's presence had completely disappeared before picking up the communicator and reporting the situation to the temple.

"That guy... escaped?"

The mage from the Purple Wind Temple approached Chu Ming and asked.

"Yeah, he came for me. The assassination failed, and I couldn't stop him." Chu Ming shrugged.

Master Zifeng was amazed.

Judging from the situation on site.

With that thug's formidable strength and his icy domain.

The fact that the young man wasn't killed in a short time shows that his strength... is definitely far beyond that of an ordinary mage of the same level!

"Are you a player from the Chinese National Team?"

"Okay." Chu Ming nodded.

"I've heard the students mention your competition," the Purple Wind Temple mage nodded, then continued, "Who was the assassin who tried to kill you? Do you know him?"

"A guy who can control hailstorms and possesses the Ice Soul Seed must be from the Black Church," Chu Ming replied.

"Hailstorm??" Master Zifeng's pupils contracted, as if he had realized something.

Oruna looked Chu Ming over carefully, somewhat surprised: "You're not injured."

"Have you forgotten? I'm a high-level spatial elementalist, and my physique is quite special." Chu Ming smiled.

Oruna thought of the battle between Chu Ming and Kasuo.

He shook his head helplessly.

Only a pervert like that.

In this situation, you'd be completely unharmed, right?

"Our temple mages will investigate this matter, but in my opinion, the Black Church will definitely have more to say. Be careful," said the mage of the Purple Wind Temple.

"Yes, I understand," Chu Ming said.

"That guy must be an executioner in the Black Vatican, specializing in assassinations," Oluna said seriously to Chu Ming. "In any case, don't leave the vicinity of the Temple of Liberty for the time being. If you don't want to be assassinated again, it's best to wait until we have a clear investigation before making any other plans."

……

The latest novel is first published here!

……

The Black Gold Conference Room at the Temple of Liberty.

Ten Black Gold Temple mages sat at the conference table.

The mage of the Purple Wind Temple hesitated for a moment before revealing his guess.

"Captain, according to the Chinese mage's description, the executioner's abilities are very similar to Pei Li's. The effects of their ice-based domains are almost identical—both unleash a torrential downpour of hail within a radius of 500 meters!"

Upon hearing this name...

The four old temple mages present looked grim.

They have all served here for more than twelve years.

I have a deep impression of Pei Li.

"If it's him, then we can't let him get away with it even more. Committing crimes only 5 kilometers away from the Temple of Liberty, he's completely disregarding us!!" The old captain of the Temple of Liberty was furious and slammed his fist on the table.

"However, it might be difficult to find him immediately. Pei Li has always been good at carrying out infiltration missions..." the mage of the Purple Wind Temple said worriedly.

"You lot, stop sitting here and wait! All of you, move out together!" the old captain roared. "A Black Vatican executioner who was once a mage of the Temple of Liberty—this is the greatest disgrace to the temple! His defiled body and soul must be burned away with holy fire!"

With a command from the Temple of Liberty.

In an instant, numerous temple mages mobilized and began searching the entire city for the Black Vatican's executioners.

However, two days passed.

The blue-clad butler, who had long since turned to ash, could not possibly have left any clues in the city.

The temple mage ultimately left disappointed.

……

In a hotel near the Temple of Liberty.

Oruna approached the members of the National Palace team with a silent expression.

"You can continue your training now."

"Chu Ming, you can rest assured now. That guy probably just came to assassinate you as a side effect."

"What do you mean?" Chu Ming asked curiously.

"That guy was bait. His purpose in attempting the assassination in the street was to attract the attention of our temple's mages!"

"We've been searching day and night throughout the city for the past two days, but not only have we found nothing, we've also discovered that a forbidden item from the Temple of Liberty was stolen because of its emptiness."

"So, that blue-robed deacon had accomplices. He was responsible for acting as bait, while the others were responsible for stealing the forbidden items?" Jiang Shaoxu was also confused. So, all this was about stealing things?

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes.

it is as expected.

He's at least a mage with a domain.

It's impossible for someone to be completely brainless.

So he deliberately chose that location and made such a big commotion.

Finally, they used a feint attack.

Chu Ming suddenly thought of something.

If you don't hide the truth, you should tell the executioner at the Temple of Liberty that he has already killed him.

Wouldn't the Temple of Liberty have failed to mobilize its entire staff, resulting in the theft of the forbidden items?

However... it's hard to say.

After all, the Temple of Liberty is in the open, while the Black Vatican is in the shadows.

Who knows if there's a third option in place?
