Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 357 Wang Mang's Worldview Shattered

Just as Zhu Yong was worrying about the newly appeared monarch-level undead, a man with flames on his back streaked across the night sky through the rain, like a fiery meteor leaving a long fiery tail in the night sky.

Flaming wings flapped rapidly as it flew toward the city wall at an incredible speed. Zhu Yong breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw the figure. The person flying back was Councilor Zhu Meng, though he looked rather disheveled and covered in various wounds.

"Councilor Zhu Meng, what should we do with that newly appeared monarch-level undead?" Zhu Yong stepped forward and asked.

"What monarch-level undead? Didn't we already take care of the Ghost Tyrant together?" Zhu Meng was a little confused, but he quickly understood what Staff Officer Zhu Yong was talking about. He waved his hand and said, "That newly appeared one is an ally. You'll understand in a moment."

"Where's our leader? He's not dead, is he?" Seeing Zhu Meng's disheveled state, and having just contacted the newly appeared monarch-level undead, the demonic man approached and asked with some concern.

"Du Xiao Lie Wang's life has been saved, but his injuries are quite serious. I don't even know what to say about him."

"This guy is even more reckless than me when he's killing. If he hadn't taken such a risky move, that Ghost Tyrant might have really gotten away this time," Zhu Meng said.

"You devil, I saw it all along. You're hoping I'll sacrifice myself so you can take over my position as leader, aren't you?"

"Once I've recovered, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, or I'm not a Du."

Just then, a slightly weak voice came from the sky. Immediately afterwards, the demon man and the others saw Chief Instructor Feijiao supporting the heavily injured Du Xiao Lie Wang as he flew over, while Military Commander Lu Xu followed behind, holding his severed right arm.

As soon as Du Xiao, Lu Xu and the others landed on the city wall, Zhu Yong called over the medics from the healing department to bandage their wounds.

"Your Excellency, Lord Xiao, Commander of the Army, let me take you to rest first; you all have quite a few injuries," said the female leader of the medical team, who was wearing a white mage's robe.

She then called for several medics to help Zhu Meng, Du Xiao, and the others walk toward the third floor of the city tower. However, when they reached the corner of the steps, Zhu Meng suddenly stopped and pointed to the white area not far outside the city, the area densely packed with skeletons, and asked.

"What's going on there? Is someone trapped there?"

"Oh, it's Wang Mang's squad. They're surrounded by skeletons, but it'll be dawn soon, so they should be alright?"

Zhu Yong was still trying to figure out what Councilor Zhu Meng meant by "friendly forces" when he came to his senses, and then he quickly replied.

Zhu Meng glanced at the sky and saw that the morning light was indeed about to break through the dense clouds. After daybreak, the skeletons that had besieged Wang Mang's squad would return to their underground slumber.

Originally, Zhu Meng didn't plan to continue interfering, but after thinking about Jiang Han, he suddenly changed his mind and said to Zhu Yong behind him, "When the light magic group retreats later, if that kid Jiang Han doesn't manage to save Wang Mang's team, arrange for him to go. If he doesn't go, just say it was my arrangement. I believe he will definitely go."

After Zhu Meng, Lu Xu, Du Xiao, and Fei Jiao left, Jiang Han and Luo Yu led the light magic mage group, along with the few high-level hunter mages who remained, towards the city wall. They didn't have to worry about being attacked by undead throughout the journey.

That's because any undead that get within a hundred meters of them will be torn apart by the army of white bone lizard demons and turned into nourishment for a few slave-level undead lizard giants, while Wang Mang's team is constantly releasing destructive magic among dozens of white bone skeleton soldiers in an attempt to break through.

However, these skeleton soldiers have bones as hard as iron, and their strength is often enough to tear a living person apart. What's most terrifying is that they are more cunning and troublesome than rotting corpses. Even if you break them apart, it's useless. They will find a suitable joint bone on the ground, put it on, and then charge at the mage again.

"Damn it, we shouldn't have stepped into that area. Now the main force has returned to the city walls, but our escort squad is stuck here," cursed a flat-nosed mage from Wang Mang's squad.

"Yes, if no one comes to our aid soon, we'll all be buried here," Wang Mang's brother-in-law, Ding Qi, complained as well.

"Hold on a little longer, it'll be dawn soon, and then we can go back," said Captain Wang Mang.

As he spoke, Wang Mang unleashed another ball of purple fire towards the nearest skeleton soldier. Although his fire was enhanced by a spirit-level fire seed, it would still take two level-three fire balls to completely annihilate a skeleton soldier.

Just as Wang Mang and his men were struggling to hold on, several undead warrior-level skeleton lizard demons suddenly rushed over and launched heavy attacks on the skeleton soldiers who were besieging Wang Mang and his men. With a single swipe of their claws, they could smash a skeleton soldier into countless bones.

Before the skeleton soldier could even piece together the scattered bones, a servant-level undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon forcefully smashed its skull, devouring all the soul fire within. This left Wang Mang and the others, who were under siege, somewhat bewildered.

"What's going on, Brother Mang? Why are these skeleton monsters fighting with the skeleton soldiers?" the flat-nosed mage asked疑惑地问道.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Quickly seize this opportunity to break through!" Wang Mang shouted the order.

Immediately, several red fire-type star trails intertwined to form a star map beneath Wang Mang's feet. Then, purple flames ignited on his right arm. He raised his hand and slammed his right arm into the ground, causing the muddy ground to tremble violently. Then, purple flames and magma spewed out from the ground.

"Purple Sun - Fierce Fist - Earth Strike!!"

A thick, purple pillar of fire shot out from the ground, transforming into a bewitching lotus of fire in the center of dozens of skeleton soldiers!

boom!!!

The Lotus of Fire, filled with the aura of death, exploded in an instant. The explosion had a wide range, sending dozens of skeleton soldiers flying into the air, where they were burned to ashes. When they landed, only ashes remained, which fell onto the muddy ground and then disappeared.

The skeleton lizard demon didn't waste the soul fire that escaped after the skeleton soldiers died; it opened its mouth and sucked it in. Although it didn't have a good effect on the lizard demon, it was better than wasting it.

"Damn it, they really aren't planning on giving us a way out," Wang Mang cursed.

Just as Wang Mang was about to fight the approaching white bone lizard demon, a young voice suddenly came from the side.

"Are you coming or not? If you're coming, hurry up and follow me."

Wang Mang looked in the direction the sound came from, and then he saw a silver-haired youth holding a white fox sitting on the back of a white skeletal lizard demon. He had a vague impression of this youth, who seemed to have some connection with Councilor Zhu Meng.

Behind this white bone lizard demon were hundreds of mages from the Light Magic Mage Corps, led by Luo Yu, the corps leader. What shocked Wang Mang was that there were dozens of white bone lizard demons guarding the perimeter of the Light Magic Mage Corps.
