Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

The door opened, and what came into Cao Le's view was a woman in a milky white uniform rushing in. At the same time, he also saw that the entire underground hall was covered with bright red bloodstains!

Behind her was a monster the size of a small truck!

This monster was naturally the Blood-Veined Troll Rat, a demon of warrior-level strength.

"Cuckoo!!!!"

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat seemed to have caught a whiff of the Earthly Holy Spring, and its enormous lantern eye immediately locked onto the location of Cao Le and the female guard who had entered.

The sharp claws sank easily into the stone bricks of the underground hall. You could feel the blood-striped troll rat gathering power, like a truck engine roaring.

"Dark Summoning!"

Seeing that the thing was about to rush over, Cao Le naturally wouldn't just stand there like an idiot.

As the female guard was filled with tears and resentment, she summoned the Shadow Servant.

Just as the shadow servant was about to rush forward to defend himself with a black broadsword, the female guard Lin Yuxin had no choice but to abandon her companions outside and slam her fist hard on the sealed door!

The two restricted gates on both sides suddenly closed, and the Shadow Servant immediately stopped, because it sensed that there were restrictions on the gates!

"Bang!!"

At the same time, the stone gate trembled violently, clearly indicating that the Blood-Patterned Giant Rat had crashed into it.

Lin Yuxin's face was pale. She looked at Cao Le, clearly curious about what was going on with this suddenly appearing dark creature.

However, Cao Le didn't speak, and she quickly composed herself. The entire city of Bo was now in complete crisis; the underground passages were teeming with demons, who, as if premeditated, had begun a frenzied attack on the Holy Spring.

On the ground, all the mages are fighting off the invasion of demons. The Earthly Sacred Spring has been attacked by demons, and there is no way to get reinforcements. Right now, they can only rely on themselves to protect the Earthly Sacred Spring.

"Follow me." With those simple three words, the female guard pressed something, and the previously circulating Earthly Holy Spring began to flow into certain small holes...

She was naturally using a special device to take away this sacred spring.

After storing the Earthly Sacred Spring, the two walked out along a path that had appeared...

Lin Yuxin carefully put away the bottles containing all the Earthly Sacred Spring water. Although Cao Le didn't say anything, she still explained, "This is an emergency protection plan for the Earthly Sacred Spring water. There is another passage in the secret room, which should lead to the back mountain of your Tianlan Magic High School."

"Something happened in Bocheng?" Cao Le asked.

"You'll understand once we get out. Come with me first. Their target is the Earthly Sacred Spring. We absolutely cannot let the Earthly Sacred Spring fall into their hands." Lin Yuxin didn't want to say more.

Cao Le was too lazy to ask any more questions. He recalled the shadow servant and followed Lin Yuxin like a mute.

...

30. Resentment and helplessness

Walking through the secret tunnel, Lin Yuxin noticed that Cao Le hadn't acted like a student at all, from the moment they arrived until now.

That Blood-Veined Giant Rat was a warrior-level creature. Even though it wasn't a very high-ranking demon, a student's normal reaction upon seeing it would be to have their star trails shattered.

But instead of screaming in fear, he completed the star trail drawing and prepared to fight the opponent.

"Was that a summoned beast just now?" Lin Yuxin's expression was still very unpleasant, but she still had some doubts about his summoning.

After all, members of the Black Church can summon disgusting black monsters!

At this moment, she remains wary of everyone.

"My shadow element is a bit special, with an extra amplification. Just now, it was the power I summoned from the dark dimension to help me," Cao Le explained.

There's no way around it; being suspected is just a regular occurrence for me.

Lin Yuxin glanced at Cao Le, then said "Oh," and said nothing more.

After a brief question and answer, they fell silent again. Fortunately, the secret passage wasn't very long, and the two quickly reached its end. They emerged from a place on the north side of a mountain within a city.

The heavy rain continued to pour down, and the gloomy sky shrouded the entire city of Bo in a suffocating atmosphere. Not far away, a series of chilling roars pierced the ears, sending shivers down one's spine.

Cao Le looked in the direction of the sound and saw low-rise buildings, somewhat old cement streets... and a vegetable market flowing with bright red blood!

That blood was clearly not from livestock...

Although I was somewhat prepared, witnessing this scene in person was still a bit hard to accept.

He even had a fleeting thought of killing Salang, that madman, but he knew that there were too many things in the world that could not be accomplished with just a surge of passion.

Salang may not be the strongest, but in Salang's eyes, he is nothing more than an ant.

"Whoo~"

She took a slight breath and calmed herself down.

"Woohoo!!!"

Just as he was about to say something, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

The two looked over at the same time upon hearing the sound, and saw that the gray sky covered the city. The iconic Yinmao Building of Bocheng stood out from the crowd, almost touching the gray sky. But right at the top of the building, a huge black shadow was lying there!

Its tail drooped down the dome of the Yinmao Building, almost half of it hanging down!

Its fleshy wings were half-spread out, half of which was shrouded in the rain, while the other half shielded a dozen or so office buildings!

Its head was raised high, and a roar that could shake the entire city of Bo came from its gaping maw that could swallow clouds and spit out mist!

This enormous creature lay perched atop the highest point of Bo City, its dome visible from anywhere in the city, meaning the entire city could witness this ferocious behemoth.

Its eyes were filled with disdain...

Seemingly disdainful of the humans struggling to escape below, it didn't even bother to move, simply directing the wolves below to slaughter and destroy at will, enjoying its meal for the night...

It roams human territory, yet it acts as if it has entered its own domain; humans are nothing more than food that it raises in the city!

Lin Yuxin's face turned pale. After hearing Cao Le's angry clenched fist, she turned to look at Cao Le: "That's the Winged Wolf, a commander-level demon. It can command hundreds or thousands of demons with just a roar... The only person in the entire Bo City who could survive a single blow from it is the military leader Zhan Kong."

“Right now, even if you feel angry about the hell before you, there’s nothing you can do. This is the Earthly Sacred Spring, and I hope you can bring it safely into the Realm of Peace. Under no circumstances should it fall into anyone’s hands… I have a feeling that the Black Church is very likely eager to obtain the Earthly Sacred Spring.”

Although she had some doubts about Cao Le before, just now she felt Cao Le's heartfelt anger, and Lin Yuxin had no other choice at the moment.

Her identity is very sensitive; if she were carrying the Earthly Holy Spring, she wouldn't be able to reach the Anjie District at all.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take out the Earthly Sacred Spring and hand it over to Cao Le.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuxin tidied up her milky-white uniform, which was already stained with a lot of blood, and ruthlessly cut off all her somewhat messy hair.

With her hat on, Lin Yuxin, exuding a heroic air, quickly ran towards the city that had been ravaged by demons and covered in blood. As she ran, she said to Cao Le in a detached tone, "I will lure away all the Black Vatican people. As long as you're not stupid enough to run into them yourself, you'll be fine once you reach the established safe zone."

Watching Lin Yuxin leave, and the Earthly Sacred Spring in his hand, Cao Le sighed and muttered to himself, "I know I won't do anything foolish, but watching them slaughter humans gives me an urge to wipe out their entire race..."

However, Lin Yuxin had already disappeared into the pouring rain, without even turning back.

To be honest, Cao Le could sense that Lin Yuxin was somewhat suspicious of him. And coincidentally, he was furious at what he was witnessing, and this wasn't an act; after all, many of the people being slaughtered were probably familiar faces to him.

There wasn't much time for Cao Le to stand there in a daze, because from this vantage point on the back of the mountain, he could see a group of things running around on the back of Tianlan Magic High School.

They were incredibly strong and easily snapped the trees in half.

They were like a pack of wolves rushing into an unfenced sheepfold; their greed was evident in their impatient dash!

Seeing this, Cao Le quickly headed towards Tianlan Magic High School. The side gate of Tianlan Magic High School is located down the mountain in this city, after passing through several old alleys.

Fortunately, this area hasn't been ravaged by a large number of demons yet. Nearby residents are either hiding in basements or fleeing towards the safe zone. The disaster struck too suddenly; many had just woken from a sweet dream only to find themselves plunged into this terrifying reality...

When Cao Le arrived at the school, Xue Musheng was organizing the vanguard team. He didn't choose to join them. After all, he wasn't without ties in this city. Although Salang was secretly protecting Xin Xia, who could say for sure whether that crazy woman could truly protect her unharmed?

"Mo Fan, make this quick. This is the Earthly Sacred Spring. Take it and catch up with the main group." So Cao Le simply pulled Mo Fan out, took out the Earthly Sacred Spring, and handed it to him.

"I...I'm so angry!" Upon hearing the words "Earthly Holy Spring," Mo Fan felt as if the small bottle in his hand was burning hot...

“Don’t be surprised. I came out with Lin Yuxin. On the way here, I saw Bai Yang, this military mage, who is also a member of the Black Vatican. He may have already discovered me, so this thing is not safe on me. You take it to Anjie, or I will go find Xinxia and your father. If we are intercepted, drink it.”

Now that Bocheng has become such a mess, no one will care what you say.

However, Mo Fan just didn't understand why Cao Le wanted him to drink it as a last resort. Was this sacred spring even drinkable?

Meanwhile, the little mudskipper in his arms was extremely excited, and he finally understood what Cao Le meant.

"Demons are attacking the city, and you yourself..."

"Stop talking nonsense and leave with them."

The vanguard team had already set off, and with Cao Le's reprimand, Mo Fan had no choice but to leave as well.

"Whether you can successfully break through to the intermediate stage depends on your own fate." Cao Le muttered softly as he watched them leave.

31. Keep your distance from Mo Fan.

After they left, Cao Le also left the school and headed towards a shopping mall near Mingwen Girls' High School....

This place is obviously not as safe as the area around Tianlan Magic High School. At this time, the streets and alleys are full of demons... There's no other way. The demons will bypass the place where Xuefeng Mountain Station appears and then enter the Girls' Inscription Middle School.

Cao Le remembered clearly that after the demons entered the city, Xin Xia hid in this shopping plaza with a group of ordinary people.

Along the way, giant-eyed blood rats and one-eyed demon wolves were practically everywhere...

They are either enjoying food or chasing humans.

Those who tried to escape were all caught and devoured, or torn to pieces...

It wasn't that he didn't want to save these people, but people are selfish. If he made a move here, not only would they gang up on him, but it wouldn't be easy for him to escape and save Xin Xia.

Therefore, relying on his shadow-based stealth abilities, he traversed the area, and although he considered attacking several times, he ultimately refrained from doing so...

After navigating streets teeming with demons, we finally arrived inside the shopping plaza.

Just as he entered the square, four or five giant-eyed, bloody rats suddenly rushed over.

"Dark Summoning!"

Cao Le hurriedly summoned his shadow servant.

A flash of black mist appeared, and the next moment, the shadow servant appeared in front of Cao Le, his black broadsword slashing directly at the four or five giant-eyed blood rats.

"Pfft!!"

With a single slash, three of the five weak giant-eyed rats were wounded, and two died instantly.

At the same moment the shadow servant blocked the attack, Cao Le also transformed into a shadow and appeared next to a wounded giant-eyed blood rat. A black spear appeared in his hand, and he pierced through the giant-eyed blood rat's corpse with a single thrust.

The remaining two giant-eyed rats immediately tried to escape. With a thought, the black spear transformed into a dagger, and Cao Le rushed towards one of them.

"Pfft!"
