Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Dark Summoning!"

The Shadow Commander appeared at Cao Le's summons. He raised his large black sword and charged towards one of the fat bears.

"Roar~~~!!!"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of a powerful, commanding creature, the two fat bears roared in fury.

But they did not leave despite their injuries; instead, as if defending their territory, they charged toward the Shadow Commander.

The three enormous creatures instantly engaged in battle, while Cao Le began to inscribe spatial magic.

"Instantaneous movement".

In an instant, he vanished from his spot, and the next moment, he appeared behind a fat bear a hundred meters away.

"Dark Amplification!"

With the power of darkness, the soul weapon in his hand transformed into a giant sword.

"Shadow Erosion - Blade of Limit Break!"

The black giant blade cleaved directly down onto the fat bear's head. Although the bear immediately noticed and tried to defend itself, let alone being injured, even if it were not injured, would a mid-level commander really expect to take this sword strike?

"Pfft!!"

The sword struck down without any resistance, instantly cleaving the fat bear's massive body in two...

As the sword slashed down from above, covering more than ten meters, Cao Le felt his hand becoming numb...

"Roar~~!!!"

Another fat bear saw its companion get chopped up like that?

After blasting the Shadow Commander back with a single punch, he charged madly towards Cao Le...

...

163. Full of meaning.

The berserk demon king's aura is indeed that of a fierce rogue!

The bear clenched its paws into fists and slammed them straight at you!

Cao Le's right fist ignited with crimson flames. Looking at the enormous fist, he did not flee, but instead threw a punch to meet it head-on.

"Meteor Fist - Nine Dragons!"

His tiny body was not even as big as a fist, but when the Nine Fiery Dragon Fist collided with the Bear Fist, the mud pit exploded, and Cao Le was knocked back several meters. The fat bear was also knocked back dozens of meters!

Even a commander couldn't withstand the level four Hellfire Fist amplified by darkness!

After the attack, Cao Le instantly moved away from his original spot and appeared above the still bewildered fat bear.

"Night Domain!"

The dark magic domain array activated, instantly enveloping the fat bear within it.

With the amplification from the Dark Domain, the Shadow Commander, who had just been blasted away by a punch, instantly closed in. Its strength had almost directly increased by a whole level in that instant.

With the swing of the black broadsword, the fat bear's hide was quickly stained red with blood.

This fat bear was clearly not used to the black area.

The bear claws swung wildly, but they couldn't harm the Shadow Commander in the slightest.

"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!"

Cao Le would occasionally ignite a burst of hellfire within it, causing the opponent to suffer repeated damage.

Hellfire has no limitations on Dark Amplification; on the contrary, it enhances it considerably. Combined with Dark Amplification, even a single Fierce Fist Nine Palaces technique unleashes power equivalent to a high-level spell!

"Roar~~~!!"

The fat bear's wounds kept increasing, and it kept losing blood, but it was helpless.

It was completely unable to break through this area, and with the constant attacks from Shadow Commander and Cao Le, it was almost unable to move at all...

If this continues, even if it's just being worn down, it will eventually be exhausted and killed.

The main reason was actually the stimulation from the mud here; it didn't have the slightest desire to desperately escape...

Otherwise, with its thick hide, it wouldn't be easy for Cao Le to kill it.

While the power of breaking through limits is immense, the energy consumption is equally terrifying.

Besides breaking through limits, his magical power is also very strong, but it is still quite difficult to kill a commander.

After more than ten minutes of exhaustion, the second fat bear finally ran out of life force and collapsed onto the mud puddle...

After the battle ended, Cao Le collected its remaining soul fragments and immediately left.

Although he gained a lot from this battle, and both fat bears were low on health, he still consumed a large amount of shadow magic energy.

Dark Amplification consumes power quite quickly. If it weren't for the fact that the recovery speed is also quite fast after upgrading to a higher level, he probably could only use Dark Amplification for a maximum of half an hour.

Not long after he left, some demons arrived at the place.

It must be the lesser demons living around that sensed the blood and came to hunt.

...

After returning to the jungle area and finding the cave where the three had rested, Cao Le hid there.

When he came here with them, he noticed that this place seemed very secluded, and there were almost no powerful demons nearby. It was indeed a safe place.

The long run, combined with the past few days of running, had really taken a toll on him...

He set up a spatial shield, then lay down in the cave to rest.

Although very sleepy, Cao Le still managed to fall asleep lightly.

After all, it's outside the safe zone. If I were to get bitten by a demon because I was sleeping too soundly, that would be such a waste.

Fortunately, the place was indeed well hidden, and there was no movement until noon the next day.

He woke up because he was a little hungry.

Cao Le took out the compressed biscuits he had prepared earlier and began to eat.

Looking at the container holding the soul seed, he felt he could finally return home. The gains from this trip were simply enormous.

But unfortunately, the Qinling Mountains' fierce winds are striking again. It's somewhat manageable inside the jungle, but outside, he simply can't withstand it...

Since he didn't want to leave just like that, he stayed in this mountain forest.

By day, he searches for demons, hunting and training relentlessly...

At night, they would stay in the cave and roast fresh demon meat.

Demons can eat people, so why can't people eat demons?

To put it bluntly, these demons are essentially a form of food!

In this dense jungle, there are many kinds of demons, and their numbers are also great.

Cao Le, who only uses fire-based attacks, has a tough time every day. He also occasionally suffers injuries...

But as long as his life isn't in danger, he uses fire magic to fight all kinds of demons.

Although the fire element has reached its peak, it still needs to accumulate impact through continuous battles.

Although it wasn't a full-force battle and it was somewhat strenuous, over time, my control over fire magic became increasingly proficient.

They stayed in the Qinling Mountains for a full three months.

In those three months, he killed a total of three demon commanders. And that was without using the Dark Amplification.

He handled each ethnic group with ease.

The fire, shadow, and spatial elements work together perfectly, so much so that they can easily handle the situation without even needing the help of Shadow Commander and Yu Jin.

Because I've been staying in this forest all the time, I haven't been exposed to much sunlight, and my skin has become quite fair.

With his handsome looks, Cao Le felt that even without his talent, he was enough to win the hearts of countless girls.

After three months, he had hunted down nearly a thousand demons, including their commanders, generals, and servants. He could no longer stay there, because he had killed and provoked them individually and in groups. The demons of the Qinling Mountains in this area seemed to have stopped fighting amongst themselves recently, as if they were searching for him every day.

If he stays any longer, he might be attacked by a group of people.

Although there are no powerful demons nearby, if several commander-level demons were to unite, aside from the Shadow Fiend power which could help him escape, there would be almost no comparison.

Therefore, Cao Le secretly left that night.

Seven days later...

After leaving the Qinling Mountains, Cao Le immediately returned to Shanghai.

This trip was truly fruitful. Besides the top-grade earth-elemental soul seed, he also obtained quite a few valuable parts from various demons. His earnings from exotic scales, bones, and spirit essence were at least over a billion.

Upon arriving in Shanghai, the first thing he did was not to sell these things, but to go to the hotel, take a comfortable hot shower, and have a good night's sleep.

...

164. Zhao Manyan, who was stimulated

After resting for two or three days, Cao Le contacted Zhao Manyan.

This bastard has been diligently cultivating himself all day long lately. After receiving Cao Le's call, he seriously said that he wouldn't be wasting his time for the next few days.

He's going to conquer all the girls in the world!

Cao Le gave him a disdainful look, though he couldn't see it...

But after discussing serious matters, he surprisingly came out.

Upon learning of Cao Le's gains, Zhao Manyan's expression was priceless!

Although he knew that after the rise of grassroots mages, there were many bounties worth hundreds of millions, it was still absurd that Cao Le had only gone to explore the Qinling Mountains for three months and yet had obtained a full billion worth of materials.

Even if Young Master Zhao isn't short of money, hundreds of millions aren't something you can just get easily...

When the two arrived at the auction house, Cao Le thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Manyan, I think you should have your family acquire this earth-type soul seed. Its quality is really quite high."

“Of course I know this thing is of high quality, but our family doesn’t have any mages who need earth-type soul seeds right now,” Zhao Manyan shrugged.
