Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

But Cao Le knew perfectly well that this bastard was gambling recklessly!

Their ancestral teachings gave him courage!

This Abyss of Evil might be a safe haven for him, who knows?

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohou also spoke up, expressing his willingness to step into the Abyss of Evil. He, along with the girl beside him and Mo Fan, all chose to go into the Abyss of Evil.

What Cao Le was really curious about was that if the Ancient King's Abyss of Evil only allowed his descendants, that is, the people of the pre-Qin era, to enter, it would be understandable that Mo Fan had the protection of the Earthly Sacred Spring and the Azure Dragon, but why was Zhan Kong also able to enter?

But at this point, it's unlikely anyone will offer him any explanation.

If we were to force an explanation, it would be that Zhan Kong was a suitable vessel to become an ancient king's sacrifice, right?

He didn't think too much about it; he certainly wasn't going to jump into the Abyss of Fiends.

Having Cao family blood proves that he has no connection with the pre-Qin period and no connection with this ancient king.

Given that, he naturally wouldn't consider taking the risk.

Han Ji looked at the four people, his heart filled with emotion. He then said, "Then let me clear the way for you."

Whether it's true or false, and whether they can actually succeed, as long as there's a chance, they can't give up.

Then, the group began to stop the suicide squad.

Escorting them out of the city was no easy task, considering the endless, surging army of undead below...

They are so vast that no one can see the end, and no one knows exactly how many there are.

But one thing is certain: after more than two thousand years of nurturing, their numbers are definitely no less than the million people in this ancient capital.

After organizing the group, they headed towards the city gate. As they left the city, Zhang Xiaohou and the others saw ordinary people walking out one by one...

When they learned that the people present had volunteered to act as bait, everyone was stunned...

Cao Le thought for a moment, then looked at Mo Fan and the others and said, "I won't escort you. I think with Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Association, accompanying you, you shouldn't have any major problems."

"What... are you going to do?" Mo Fan was taken aback; he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Do what you can."

Cao Le remained calm and continued, "Ordinary people dare to use themselves as bait to lure large numbers of undead to attack. How can a magician just watch them die like this?"

He has the fierce generals of Cao Wei and the ghost soldiers; he might be able to save these people.

The reason for saving them is, as I said before, that's all that matters, as long as he does what he wants!

Cao Le does not belong to any faction and is completely free, so no one can make decisions for him.

Zhu Meng then came to Cao Le's side, looked at him and said, "You brat, although I don't like you at all, and even hate you to the extreme, I hope... you can survive this calamity."

Zhu Meng fought bravely and always took the lead. He never considered fleeing without a fight, but he still hoped that Cao Le, a young man with top-notch strength and talent, could survive.

Given time, Cao Le, as he grows up, will be able to save even more people!

"Thank you for your disapproval, but I was only doing what I could. My life is more important to me," Cao Le replied, then hurried towards the group of ordinary people.

.....

145. A God Descends from Heaven

He knew Zhu Meng meant well, but he always felt like he was going to never return, so no matter what Zhu Meng meant, Cao Le absolutely could not accept this offer. To do so would be to make things difficult for himself.

They followed them towards the small door. Although some military mages were guarding it, everyone knew that against the overwhelming horde of undead, these mages would be far from enough to quell the attack...

Even so, not a single person has shed tears or wanted to turn back. These people know this is a catastrophe for the entire ancient capital, and they understand that at this point, if they don't fight, their families might be the ones to die. Wives, children, and the elderly are naturally the most vulnerable group. They are all men, and even if they are not mages, they must stand at the forefront at this time.

Cao Le followed them out, and a large number of undead rushed towards them.

Han Ji and his group finally gained a slight opening. Without the dense swarms of undead blocking their path, and with the mage team beginning their bombardment, they began their advance towards the Abyss of Fiends...

"Defend against the enemy! All military mages, listen up! Even if we are destined to die in this battle, we must protect these people who have come here to offer their lives!" The person who proposed this plan was named Shi Zheng. He didn't just propose a plan to use these people as bait and then stay out of it; he was here too.

Faced with the sudden onslaught of nearly ten thousand undead, the military mages standing before the ordinary people began to unleash their spells. However, they were ultimately just ordinary mid-level mages, lacking even a spirit seed. Although their combined power was considerable—hundreds of skeletons crumbled with a single strike—the sheer number of undead was overwhelming. The moment their first wave of spells ended, the undead charged forward madly. Their goal was simple: the feast here. The presence of powerful mages was utterly irrelevant to these undead.

They never need to use their brains; fighting and killing are the only things they need to do.

Seeing that they were about to collapse, Cao Le said to Shi Zheng, "Have your men protect these people during their retreat, and I'll handle the remaining undead."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zheng looked at Cao Le in astonishment. He felt that this young man was a bit out of his mind. At a time like this, he was still thinking of playing the hero?

"Shadow Commander!"

"Yu Jin!"

"Xu Huang!"

However, Cao Le didn't give him much of a chance to question. As he completed a shadow-type star trail, the Shadow Commander and Yu Jin, two commander-level beings, appeared one after the other on either side. Especially after Yu Jin appeared, he summoned a large number of ghost soldiers!

Like Yu Jin, Xu Huang retained his appearance from his previous life. Although he had changed somewhat, he wasn't as terrifying. His strength was naturally at the Grand Commander level, but his aura was still stronger than Yu Jin's. Cao Le's current strength made summoning two undead relatively easy. Xu Huang also possessed a large number of ghost soldiers. When the three Grand Commander-level dark creatures and undead appeared, Shi Zheng immediately fell silent.

"Protect these people and get them back safely!" Cao Le said before charging towards him.

At the same time, the Yama Demon Armor set armed him almost to the teeth, and the Soul Weapon was also condensed in his hand.

Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and the Shadow Commander attacked the fearless undead from three directions, aided by ghost soldiers. It could be said that the most likely source of trouble was Cao Le's side, which had virtually no ghost soldiers. But Cao Le's attack was swift; a single mid-level spell turned hundreds of undead into corpses, offering no chance of resistance. Combined with spatial and shadow manipulation, his battle was far more shocking than the battles fought by the other three commanders!

After a moment of stunned silence, Shi Zheng hurriedly said, "Quickly, everyone retreat!"

Although he came out prepared to die, who would willingly choose to die if they could live? The same applies to ordinary people. In this world, no one wants to die if they can simply survive.

At this moment, Cao Le was like a god descending from the heavens to these meat shields and military mages!

Despite his young age, he possessed three commander-level summoned creatures, and most importantly, he could control undead soldiers? However, the crowd wasn't too surprised and quickly returned to the city. Of course, even with protection on all sides, undead still managed to break in, but the military mages protecting these ordinary people were no pushovers. The hundreds of people who were supposed to be bait and certain death were saved here... But although they weren't far from the city gate, there were simply too many undead. By the time they reached the city gate, more than half an hour had passed.

Just as those on the city wall were about to attack upon seeing the ghost soldiers arrive, Shi Zheng rushed forward and shouted, "Don't attack! These were summoned by a necromancer..."

Upon hearing Shi Zheng's words, the mages on the city wall were all somewhat dumbfounded. In fact, even Shi Zheng himself found it hard to believe that this was summoned by a single person. But he had witnessed it with his own eyes...

"Open the door quickly!" Although surprised, the staff officer left on the city wall reacted immediately.

"Crunch~~~"

The small door opened, and the ordinary people who had gone out earlier surged back in, each exerting their utmost effort. It took them over half an hour just to get inside. Fortunately, Cao Le's ghost soldiers and his commander-level summoned creatures were there, allowing them all to return safely to the city. When the last military mage returned, Shi Zheng shouted to Cao Le at the front, "Little brother, our men are all inside the city! You should come back quickly!!!"

"Don't worry about me, you go in first." Cao Le appeared in front of him in a shadowy manner and said.

“These undead can’t be killed off. All we can do now is go back to the city and pray. What are you still doing here?” Shi Zheng asked, puzzled.

“The undead are not endless. Although I can’t kill them all by myself, I’ll kill as many as I can. You should retreat first. With me on the city wall, the guards will get a few hours of rest,” Cao Le said.

Although the soldiers on the inner city walls weren't the same as those on the outer walls, if the fighting continued like this, who knew how many would ultimately die or be wounded? Besides, he still had enough mana, and Yu Jin and Xu Huang could still exist for a while longer. Under these circumstances, how could he retreat? This was a golden opportunity to rack up points!

Before Shi Zheng could say anything, Cao Le had already headed forward.

...

146. Infinite and endless

With the amplification from darkness, coupled with the increased fire attribute power provided by the Yama Demon Armor, he instantly appeared in the densest part of the undead army, a place so crowded there were no gaps. The moment he appeared, his armor set shattered many corpses and skeletons, creating a space for him.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

Seeing Cao Le, a living person, standing right in the center of their territory, the undead were practically blinded by rage! They had been fighting for so long, and while they had caught a whiff of the living's aroma, they hadn't tasted any sweetness yet. Now that someone had delivered himself to their doorstep, how could they allow themselves to miss out?

One by one, the undead rushed towards Cao Le, and in the blink of an eye, they piled up like a mountain, pressing Cao Le down.

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and the Shadow Commander were all stunned and about to rush to the rescue. Regardless of their strength, they all understood one thing: if Cao Le died, it wouldn't just demonstrate their incompetence, but more importantly, their lives would also come to an end...

"Boom!!"

Just as the three of them were sweeping away the nearby undead and about to rush over to their aid, a tremendous crimson light suddenly erupted from the mountain of undead!

"Fierce Fist - Nine Dragons!"

The fourth-level Fierce Fist, combined with Hellfire, the Yama's Armor, and Dark Amplification, exaggeratedly spread across a nine-square grid covering a full hundred meters of ground. Then, countless fire dragons erupted from the ground with deafening booms. Nearly a thousand corpses and skeletons in the vicinity were completely incinerated into ashes under the baptism of these fire dragons; not even their bodies remained.

The thousands of undead in this dense, surging army of the dead were not a particularly spectacular sight, and from a high vantage point, they were merely the tip of an iceberg. However, this place was not far from the city wall, and the mages on the north city wall, including military mages, hunter mages, and even students who had come to participate in the battle, were all stunned by what they saw.

However, this small gap was quickly filled again by a dense horde of undead. Even so, the sight of the rampage outside the city amidst the sea of ​​the dead was still unsettling, leaving one speechless for a long time...

These military mages, unlike the councilors, had all witnessed battles between powerful individuals.

Their force consisted of at most a few high-level mages guarding the city walls. While high-level mages were indeed powerful, annihilating thousands with a single blow, especially with mid-level magic, was practically impossible. Yet Cao Le accomplished it, and the power of his mid-level magic seemed to surpass the destructive force of high-level magic.

Many people believe that...

Cao Le is a very powerful fire mage.

However, at that moment, a loud "bang" was heard!

The undead that had just attacked were suddenly blasted open by a powerful spatial impact! The crack was so small that it was almost invisible unless one sensed it carefully.

Just moments ago, many people thought Cao Le was a very powerful fire mage, but the sudden burst of spatial power has made them somewhat uneasy...

This spatial ability is really strong!

Moreover, even some military intelligence agents were seeing this type of spatial magic for the first time.

"Does anyone know who that boy is?" A military staff officer asked, pointing blankly at where Cao Le was.

The monks present all shook their heads, and even some of the tutors, professors, and directors of the ancient capital academy did not recognize him.

At this moment, the staff officer had the same thought as the military intelligence officers in the outer city and western city... It would be a waste not to recruit such talents!

.....valley

Cao Le was engrossed in the killing spree at the moment, unaware that he had been targeted again.

Moreover, unknowingly, as he killed more and more, the Yama Demon Armor seemed to resonate with him. He didn't know what it was, but he could feel that it was somewhat clear.

"Night Domain!"

However, given the current situation, he couldn't maintain his focus indefinitely. After all, if he wasn't careful, the undead would be clawing at him.

Fortunately, his Yama Demon Armor set was tough enough that he wasn't hurt by them. Of course, these servant-level undead were relatively weak. If the Bone General or Corpse General had hit him just now, he would have felt like his ribs were about to break.

"Shadow Erosion!"

After the Night Realm was opened, the undead were almost unaffected. After all, they were also creatures of darkness.

However, Cao Le's next move, regardless of whether they were enhanced, immediately transformed the ground into a pool of water—pure dark energy, and also corrosive water. From the dark pool, countless black arms emerged, and in the next instant, almost one by one, the undead were grabbed by the ankles and began to descend…
