Full-Time Magister: Heavy Water Overturns the World

……

Middle section of the Valley of the Kings.

"Everyone, please follow me."

An adjutant led the group from the Huaguo National Government ahead of them. This was the only area on the battlefield where almost no fighting had occurred; it was a fast passageway that had been forcibly opened up by the army and hunters.

It was very clear that the mages nearby were fighting the undead army, and the aftershocks of the magic were even coming right at them.

Every now and then, injured or exhausted mages would retreat from the front lines, and new mages would immediately take over to hold off the attack.

These scenes moved even the Chinese people who were outsiders themselves, especially Mao Xianyi and Song Zhizhi, who both clenched their fists.

Soldiers' duty is to protect their homeland. The scenes of military mages rushing forward one after another are just what they see every day. On the city's borders, countless military mages are on the dangerous frontiers every day, risking their lives to protect the stability of the border.

The group did not linger on the road, knowing that time was precious.

The longer the delay, the more terrifying the undead army in the Valley of the Kings will become, as the presence of the living will increase.

In the eternal resting place of emperors and pharaohs, they cannot be killed or exterminated!

"boom--!"

The valley seemed to have been slammed by a giant hand, sending pebbles flying everywhere. Before everyone could regain their footing, blinding lightning tore through the morning mist, and a silhouette as tall as a five-story building stepped out of the fog.

With each step the behemoth took, a sand pit sank into the ground. The bone shield in its hand was as large as a city gate, and its surface was still covered with charred lightning marks.

The three military intelligence agents' all-out attack just now only left a few cracks on it.

"It's the Bone Shield Mummy!" the adjutant exclaimed in surprise. "How could it be here so early!"

Upon hearing the adjutant's voice, Nan Yi also recalled the information about the Bone Shield Mummy. This was one of the most hated undead in Egypt, not because it was poisonous or treacherous, but because of its unparalleled defensive capabilities.

They were originally the shields of the dynasty in life, and after death they became the emperor's most loyal guards. If the aura of a living person who enters the Valley of the Emperor becomes stronger, they may be awakened.

Their massive bone shields can withstand high-level magic without being destroyed, and aside from being cumbersome, they have virtually no drawbacks.

However, in the Valley of the Kings, a terrain that is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Bone Shield Mummy is almost perfect. Its disadvantages no longer exist, and its advantages are amplified to an extreme, putting even more pressure on the army that is already under offensive pressure.

"High-level lightning and fire magic can't even break through the defense?!" Dongfang Linlin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although the rest of the Chinese remained silent, they were nonetheless filled with hesitation and apprehension.

Zu Xiangtian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he glanced at Mu Fangming out of the corner of his eye. Their eyes met briefly, then quickly looked away. Both were National Team players, and whoever said "retreat" first would never be able to hold their head high in the team again.

“It’s repairing the shield,” Nan Yi suddenly said.

His gaze fell upon the feet of the bone shield mummy, where countless blood vessels were quietly flowing towards it. Nourished by these blood vessels, the shattered shield began to repair itself!
This scene undoubtedly left everyone speechless!

"To the Pharaoh, there's no real difference between a crimson mummy being cannon fodder killed by the enemy and becoming nourishment for his own people," the adjutant said.

"Can the plan still proceed?" Mao Xianyi asked seriously.

“Hmm.” The adjutant nodded. “Although the Bone Shield Mummies appeared earlier than we expected, the military has ways to deal with them, and the plan won’t be halted. The Soy Military Intelligence Bureau will bring…”

The next second, before the adjutant could finish speaking, Soi appeared in front of everyone, with turquoise wind wings unfolding behind him, his expression stern.

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you into the Pharaoh's tomb."

"A dead insect infestation has broken out at the entrance to the underground tomb. I must defend it at the entrance; otherwise, once they completely block the entrance, it will be almost impossible to break through their blockage from either the inside or the outside." "What is a dead insect infestation?" Song Zhizhi asked.

They have actually done a lot of research recently, but they have never heard of the dead insect infestation.

Soy replied, "Dead worms are naturally cursed creatures bred in the environment of the dead. Their bodies are made of pure cursed energy. They are not strong individually, but once their numbers accumulate, they will naturally form a cursed domain that attacks any living thing that enters."

"..."

"Damn it, how could I be so unlucky! First the commander woke up early, then they blocked the door, and now they're both here today!" Li Yang complained.

To be honest, Li Yang was already thinking of slipping away.

But since no one else spoke up, he felt embarrassed to bring it up alone.

Soi looked at Mao Xianyi and Nan Yi, seemingly waiting for their decision.

Mao Xianyi didn't hesitate for long and looked at Soi: "The plan is proceeding as scheduled. Please have Soi, the military intelligence officer, guard the exit for us."

Most people in China weren't surprised, but Li Yang seemed to have something to say, yet he was too embarrassed to speak, so he could only follow along angrily.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance to the tomb. Just as Soi had said, a large swarm of dense, dark purple worms appeared here. Each of them was only about half a meter in size, and their aura was no more than that of an advanced-stage servant. However, their sheer number made them a formidable force, and the pressure of their domain caused everyone present to feel a stinging pain in their souls!
Many military mages have gathered here.

However, they only bombarded the perimeter with magic, not daring to get too close. With only the limited spiritual power of a beginner or intermediate mage, anyone who dared to approach would die without even knowing how.

Just then, a dead insect was struck by the fierce fist and exploded—there was no flesh or blood, only a puff of purplish-black smoke, from which a ghostly figure, neither human nor inhuman, emerged and roared as it dissipated.

"Such a powerful mental impact, almost threatening someone at the mid-stage of the second realm." Han Li frowned.

"See that stone door? That's the entrance to the underground."

Following Soy's finger, the group saw the towering stone gate that was sloping and embedded in the ground. Its size seemed to be designed not for humans, but for the undead.

"Sir, the researchers have also been escorted here."

A commotion broke out behind them, and two figures in gray robes were pushed through by soldiers.

The man had a dark brown complexion, as if he had just crawled out of an ancient tomb. The woman was much younger; her light brown eyes swept over everyone present, finally settling on the stone gate without even frowning.

"Can we go into the tomb now?" she asked, her tone as calm as if she were asking what she wanted for lunch.

Upon hearing this, Soi nodded, then turned to face the stone door, and a destructive aura of lightning magic began to surge around him.

"Commander Mao, after I clear the dead insects, you two researchers can go in."

"Okay." Mao Xian nodded and looked at Dongfang Linlin and Qin Mo: "You two will be taking the researchers with you later."

"Yes, Captain."

A deafening thunderclap followed, dark clouds churned, and a breathtaking power gathered in Soy's arm before finally bursting forth!

"Silent Thunder Death Ray!"

"Thunder Arm!"

"Mao's Military Intelligence Bureau! Now!"
