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

Chapter 277 The Reasons

After dealing with Devon and the others, the Sandstorm Fiend swept towards Fang Yu's side at an extremely fast speed.

"No way, I was just watching the show." Fang Yu approached the battlefield to check if any of the besieged people were from the Nationalist Army, but he didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. Now he's dumbfounded and can't get away.

Fang Yu looked up, gazing at the figure hidden in the yellow sand.

This is a creature enveloped in a cloud of dust, with sand swirling around its body, and its graceful figure can be vaguely seen swaying...

The Sandstorm Fiend floated high in the sky, riding on layers upon layers of sand and dust waves, with large swathes of sand flying everywhere, like beautiful maple leaves fluttering in the air.

With every gesture, a boundless and powerful force surged forth, exuding a terrifying aura, arrogantly looking down upon the world and shaking its very foundations.

Monarch-level creature—Sandstorm Fiend!
Like the elemental spirit Jiang Feng, she belongs to the same category of elemental spirits. She exists with human thoughts transformed into a demonic body and wields powerful demonic arts.

At this moment, the Sandstorm Fiend controlled the yellow sand and attacked Fang Yu...

The next moment, the golden ape leaped out of the 'summoning space', and darkness began to envelop it with energy, shining with black radiance. In an instant, the golden ape's fifty-meter-long body was revealed as the radiance dissipated.

Thunder roared around the golden ape, and a storm swept through it. The two combined to create a massive aura of wind and thunder that emanated directly from the golden ape.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

The wind and thunder domain, soaring into the sky, collided with the sandstorm above, creating a deafening collision.

As time passed, the gap in their levels widened, and the Golden Ape's Wind and Thunder Domain began to crumble...

Suddenly, the gate to the contract space in front of Fang Yu opened, and two elemental holy spirits, one blue and one red, floated out.

Normally, Xiao Yanji would take the form of a baby, as petite as a three or four-year-old porcelain doll, so that she could snuggle on Fang Yu's shoulder or ask for a hug without thinking.

However, during battle, Little Flame Princess will gradually transform into Flame Princess Girl form.

The height of the Flame Princess girl is about the same as that of a petite girl like Lingling, and even their figures are very similar, slender and graceful with a touch of girlish curves.

As for the Snow Maiden, well, let's not even talk about her. She's aloof and not considerate at all.

Upon emerging, Little Flame Princess instantly switched to her Snow Maiden form, simultaneously unleashing ice and fire domains, freezing the extremely cold ice crystals and igniting the scorching flames...

But at this moment, the sandstorm spirit in the distance suddenly stopped when it was released by Little Snow Maiden and Little Flame Princess's domains, and the sandstorm and dust that were howling instantly subsided.

The crisis was averted, but Little Snow Maiden and Little Flame Princess did not disperse their domain power, because those were beings at the monarch level.

The sandstorm spirit, shrouded in sand and gravel, appeared before Little Snow Maiden and Little Flame Princess in an instant. It seemed that seeing the true elemental spirits of heaven and earth had calmed her down from her violent state.

The Sandstorm Fiend looked at the two elemental spirits with a complicated expression. After a while, it began to chant softly, as if communicating with the two little ones.

"Hey!"

"whisper!"

"Alas!!!!"

Three elemental spirits were there, communicating in melodious voices.

After a while, Xiaoxue Nu withdrew from the conversation and looked at Fang Yu, whimpering as she recounted their conversation.

Little Snow Maiden told Fang Yu that the reason the Sandstorm Fiend appeared in the outer area was because two years ago, a group of mages led by Devon stole the Wind Calamity Fruit.

However, they weren't used to nurture a true Wind Princess, but rather to allow a dying person to transform from a human body into a demonic form. The Sandstorm Fiends tried to stop them, but they were quite powerful. Although they killed several, Devon ultimately escaped with the Wind Calamity Fruit.

Recently, she sensed Devon's presence and went so far as to break out of the labyrinth to finally avenge her family. Moreover, the reason she attacked just now was naturally because she assumed Fang Yu was one of their accomplices.

After listening to Xiaoxue Nu's words, Fang Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This is another form of rebirth. When one's lifespan is about to end, it is something that even Ye Xinxia's resurrection magic is powerless to do.

The person who obtained the Wind Calamity Fruit was able to transform into an elemental spirit with a human body, thus extending their lifespan. However, it is unknown whether they succeeded.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, along the Mediterranean coastline, Mu Ningxue and her six companions began their journey to Egypt to reunite with their original team.

After arriving in Egypt, the mentors distributed their rewards, while the African Magic Association sent several groups of people to interrogate them about the specific events that had occurred in the Sahara.

Judging from their tense attitude, it seems that neither the students who were previously trapped nor the team led by the super-level mage have lost contact.

"Sigh, we sent them out for rescue, but who knew it would cause an even bigger disaster?" Jiang Shaoxu sighed.

"What level of strength do you think the Sandstorm Fiend is? I think it's about the strongest creature in the world," Zhao Manyan said.

"He should be in the upper-middle tier of the monarch level," Mo Fan commented.

"Why?" Zhao Manyan pressed for an answer.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Mo Fan. Given the shock they felt at that moment, their thoughts were the same as Zhao Manyan's: the sandstorm spirits of the Sahara were definitely among the most powerful creatures in the world, capable of engulfing tens of kilometers and filling ten kilometers of sea...

If this isn't the strongest, then what truly qualifies as the Demon King?

“I’ve seen the peak strength among the monarch-level beings, and that Sandstorm Wraith should be a level lower than them,” Mo Fan replied calmly.

"Don't try to fool us. We're seriously discussing this. I think there's no demon stronger than the Sandstorm Wraith in the entire world," Jiang Yu questioned.

If Fang Yu were here, he would slap him twice. What are you thinking? Short-haired, ignorant brat.

“If that’s what you think, then you’re sorely mistaken. Let me put it this way: there are at least two guys in our country who can take down the Sandstorm Wraith,” Mo Fan said.

"Which two?"

Mo Fan smiled mysteriously, but then he noticed that Mu Ningxue was also looking at him with a strange gaze.

Mo Fan could no longer keep up the pretense, because Fang Yu knew more about those two terrifying creatures in China than he did, and had definitely told Mu Ningxue about them as well.

"I can only tell you that one is in Hangzhou and the other is in the ancient capital."

"Hangzhou? You're not talking about that Skyscraper Serpent that once appeared in the bustling city, are you? I heard that guy beat up the Silver Dome Lord of Xiling like he was disciplining a child. If you say that the guardian spirit of Hangzhou is stronger than the Sandstorm Vengeful Spirit, I'd believe you. But the other one that appeared in the ancient capital, could it be that strongest Corpse Lord who almost uprooted the city—the Mountain Corpse?" Jiang Yu became very animated when talking about these things.

Are they really stronger than sandstorm vengeful spirits?

"absolute!"

Mo Fan was quite certain, after all, he had personally come into contact with these two supreme beings!
