Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 124 Lizard Demon Encirclement, Escaping the Encirclement

As the giant lizard pseudo-dragon fell, a plump, crystalline little light worm floated out from its shattered body and hovered in mid-air.

"Commander-level essence!"

Fang Yu was overjoyed and quickly used the Soul Vessel to collect the essence, and also looted the valuable materials from the giant lizard pseudo-dragon.

After collecting his spoils, countless frost feathers transformed behind Fang Yu, forming stunning wings that adorned his back. He unfurled his icy wings and took flight. He still needed to find Jiang Yi; she should still have a backup of the Blood Sharpness on her.

Although he didn't know if he could use it, he had a certain resistance due to his mastery of four types of magic. He would wait until he faced an insurmountable enemy and was on the verge of death.

It could be used as a trump card to try and save a chance.

With Fang Yu's telepathic abilities, he quickly located the four military mages led by Jiang Yi.

In an instant, the earth froze, and ice floes danced wildly, spreading for tens of meters.

Jiang Yi and the others were caught in the attack and put up multiple layers of defense, but all of them were broken by the baptism of ice.

The defenses erected by those mid-level mages were no match for the ice locks that pierced through, shattering bones.

Fang Yu then used "telekinesis" to locate the Bloodstone, after which the group exploded into ice dust. Fang Yu didn't want anyone to know that he had taken action.

After all, regardless of whether the Demonic element will be used in the future, or even if it can be used at all, it needs to be kept hidden.

……

the other side.

Countless wolf shadow claws danced across Lu Nian's body. The shadow claws had the effect of attacking the soul, and the sharp claws tore Lu Nian's soul to pieces, leaving him no chance to even become a dead soul.

After killing Lu Nian with his own hands, Mo Fan's mind suddenly went blank, filled with rage.

"Roar~~~~~~~"

Mo Fan roared like a wild beast, his body wreathed in flames and lightning that danced wildly and uncontrollably around him...

"Mo Fan."

Zhan Kong, who had rushed over from the outside, stared intently at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan turned to look at Zhan Kong, but did not launch an attack. He still retained a slight consciousness, but his condition seemed very unstable.

At this moment, Fang Yu transformed into a frost-white beam of light and descended upon this place, speaking:

"Listen carefully. From what I know, demons need a lot of essence to survive. This is the price to pay for overdrawing their soul power."

"You need a massive amount of demon essence to withstand this soul backlash. Dongting Lake is home to many demons and can provide for your needs this time."

The demon Mo Fan remained silent, only staring at Fang Yu.

However, just as his consciousness was about to fade, he roared to the sky like a ferocious wolf, leaped up, and shot out like an arrow, disappearing from Fang Yu and Zhan Kong's sight at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing Fang Yu leave, Zhan Kong wanted to chase after him.

"Don't even think about chasing him. He has a vessel that can absorb spiritual essence. As long as he collects enough essence, he can avoid this calamity," Fang Yu reminded him.

Zhan Kong paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Fang Yu, how do you know about the Demon faction?"

"I heard those military mages say that we'll talk about the rest when we get back," Fang Yu said, changing the subject to avoid further discussion.

……

"Boom!"

Sensing the death of the giant lizard pseudo-dragon, its clan had no intention of retreating. Fearless, they shattered the ice wall formed by frost and swarmed towards Fang Yu and his companions.

"Retreat first."

Fang Yu said that when he saw the lizard-headed giant monsters coming to surround him, the demon horde was not just a few, but a dense mass. Even he couldn't withstand the onslaught. At this time, leaving this place was the wisest choice.

Meanwhile, the students from the academy who were undergoing their training had also gathered. Their emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down. This training in the desolate city had been so exciting that they almost didn't want to leave the Anjie Realm.

Fang Yu looked back at the approaching lizard-headed giant monster. He did not continue to retreat, but instead asked Zhan Kong to help the academy's students evacuate while he stopped to intercept them.

Looking at the densely packed, black tide-like hordes of servant-level and warrior-level demons, Fang Yu began to unleash his terrifying magical power.

"Ice Lock Formation!"

Snowflakes flew everywhere as Fang Yu stomped heavily on the ground, causing all the snowflakes to float into the air.

With a thought, all the frost and snow began to combine on their own, forming countless interlocking rings that continuously connected to form layers of ice locks...

After they formed ice locks, they seemed to be given life by Fang Yu, hanging and coiling around him.

Each ice chain was forty or fifty meters long. They danced wildly in the sky, continuously flying and sweeping towards the Lizard-Skull Giant.

Red stains the frost-white ice, corpses freeze and shatter, and frost fills the sky.

Looking down from above, amidst the dense horde of demons, patches of land were being cleared away one after another.

Fang Yu looked up at the demon tide in the distance, which had already driven the lizard-headed giant demons into a retreat.

"Ho ho ho ho!!!!"

Time passed, and the roaring sounds echoed, along with mournful low growls that reverberated above the desolate city of Jinlin, but the demon tide continued to gather.

At this moment, Zhan Kong led a dozen or so students on their training journey out of the city. Hearing the distant roar of magic, they couldn't help but turn around and look at Fang Yu's back. They couldn't help but sigh.

"What level has Fang Yu reached?"

"Is this still considered high-level?"

Mu Ningxue remained silent, somewhat shocked. The destructive power of this ice magic was something that even with advancements in her own domain, she would likely find difficult to match.

The group had been gone for a while.

"Spatial Rhythm - Rift!"

Fang Yu's eyes gleamed with silver light, causing the void to ripple and suddenly crack open with deep, radiant fissures to delay the attack.

At the same time, ice and snow covered the area again, and after accumulating to a certain extent, Fang Yu directly used his mind to conjure ice and snow.

Now the ground is covered with ice, and frost has covered it in countless layers. Fang Yu commands the ice elements to quickly erect ice peaks in front of him.

The ice hills rise abruptly from the ground, each exceeding thirty meters in height, forming the strongest defense to help everyone evacuate.

At this moment, the lizard-headed giants looked at the towering mountain peaks in front of them, roared, and launched an attack, but they found that they could not open a breach, so they stopped.

After Fang Yu stopped them, the group from the academy finally reached the safe zone.

A moment later, Fang Yu also arrived.

……

When they returned to the city, Zhan Kong did not let the students from the academy leave. Instead, he took them to the military headquarters.

The Demon system is an experiment that can't be openly discussed; the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Otherwise, if some "interested individuals" were to target this experiment, it would be quite troublesome.

Because of the significant impact of the incident, the military issued a warning to each of them, forbidding them from disclosing the matter.

If this gets out, it could lead to a military court-martial.

It's quite intimidating; even though most of the people involved come from privileged backgrounds, they take this warning very seriously.
