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

Chapter 284 Temporary Contract
"Is it really that hard for you to do less dangerous things?" Mu Ningxue said resentfully.

"..." Fang Yu was speechless.

Mu Ningxue's words were so euphemistic; she was simply complaining about her own daily self-destructive behavior.

"This was truly unexpected," Fang Yu said, forcing an explanation as he looked at Mu Ningxue's serious expression.

“When wasn’t it?” Mu Ningxue retorted.

"Stop talking! You guys are really fearless. The entire Liejian Death Squad is charging over here!" Zhao Manyan shouted.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw that, under the command of the Dark Sword Master, a large swarm of Vicious Sword Servants was rushing towards them.

"Let's retreat first. These guys have doubled their combat power under the Dark Sword Master's blessing," Fang Yu said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yu, having little fire magic energy left, switched the possession of Little Flame Maiden to Little Snow Maiden.

The next moment, frost danced in the air, the earth froze, and Fang Yu directly unleashed his Ice Domain. Beneath the domain, the cold was biting.

As the frost spread, the thick armor of the front-line Death Slayers became meaningless after being invaded by the freezing power, freezing them directly into ice sculptures.

Meanwhile, Fenner and Sherlock also arrived at the battlefield.

Fenner, suspended in mid-air, gathered a raging yellow aura of wind. Instantly, the elements of wind and sand mixed together, creating an elemental roar that hurled the ice sculptures of the Dead Servants into the sky. The sandstorm swept through, shattering the ice sculptures.

The super-rank mage, Shero, shone brightly. In front of the group from the National Palace, rubble rapidly piled up, forming an incredibly thick rock fortress. The brown rock made it look more like a golden city, directly cutting through the battlefield and blocking the advance of the Wrathful Sword Death Servants behind it.

At this moment, seeing two super-level mages join the fray, Mo Fan suddenly said, "The Dark Sword Master follows an ancient pact. By challenging the Dark Sword Master, one can enter the Dark Arena for a fight to the death. We can use this method to break into the pyramid."

“This path won’t work. The Dark Sword Master only accepts duels with fellow dark beings. Without awakened dark magic, this dark pact cannot be activated,” Fang Yu said.

"How did you know?" Mo Fan asked in surprise. He had only learned this information from the mysterious woman, but he hadn't expected Fang Yu to know more about it than he did.

"I saw it in an ancient book," Fang Yu said dismissively.

The next moment, the two super-level mages who had overcome the obstacle landed beside the group.

"Retreat to the camp first. With the Dark Sword Master and these swarms of Wrathful Sword Servants, we can't break through!" Fang Yu said to Fenner and Sherlock, who had just arrived.

Compared to the original timeline, this time the Egyptian army mages were not caught off guard by the Dark Sword Master and suffered widespread deaths, and Strategist Fenner was able to make a calm judgment.

After pondering for a while, Fenner listened to Fang Yu's suggestion and retreated.

With the addition of two high-level mages, Fang Yu and his companions quickly traversed the area overrun by undead and returned to their camp at an astonishing speed.

……

Inside the camp, a special undead barrier effectively isolates the undead from your aggression. With this barrier, the undead will no longer swarm into the camp.

At this moment, in the command room...

“With the Dark Sword Master and the Wrathful Sword Death Squad around, it’s impossible for us to get close to the pyramid,” Sherlock sighed.

Even if Sherlock and Fenner joined forces, they might not be a match for the Dark Sword Master, let alone with the addition of the Wrathful Sword Death Squad. They must urgently seek reinforcements.

“This is all the manpower we have. We can’t send any more people. We also need to station personnel in other cities,” Fenner said with certainty.

“Is there no other way?” Sherlock asked.

“Yes, the Chinese National Team. I’ll go ask for their opinion,” Finner replied.

……

Back at the camp, Fang Yu took stock of his gains. After the Fiend Sword Servants were blasted to pieces, Fang Yu had acquired a pile of strange bones.

Moreover, by killing the undead, he had collected a considerable amount of remnants of souls and had already condensed three essence souls.

Now that the Nationalist government forces have done what they were supposed to do, their mission is complete, and they can withdraw.

Previously, they had been enjoying their time at the National Government, indulging in fine food and travel around the world. Now, after encountering all sorts of things along the way, everyone wanted to head straight to Venice for a rest and adjustment.

Just as they were preparing to rest, Staff Officer Fenner arrived at the Nationalist team's camp. Fenner made no attempt to conceal his purpose, stating directly that he wanted the Chinese Nationalist team members to assist them.

In return, she was willing to give everyone a batch of resources, worth approximately 5 million, after the matter was completed.

Ai Jiangtu looked at everyone and then asked, "Do you have any opinions?"

"What a joke, you want us to go into that godforsaken place?" Zu Jiming exclaimed.

He would never go to that place again; provoking a monarch-level creature could cost him his life in the blink of an eye.

Zujimin was born into a good family; as long as he makes a name for himself in Venice, his future will be bright. There's no need for him to get involved in such dangerous events.

Subsequently, apart from Fang Yu, Mu Ningxue, and Mo Fan who agreed, Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue, as captains and vice-captains, also participated, while the others refused. These people were in the same situation as Zu Jiming.

"I can tear apart the formation of the Wrathful Sword Death Servants, and then I will help you stop the Dark Sword Master. The reward will be doubled," Fang Yu said directly.

After thinking for a while, Staff Officer Fenner agreed. After all, this was a life-or-death situation, and she had already witnessed Fang Yu's combat prowess.

……

After Fenner left, Fang Yu sat down cross-legged. This time, he wanted to summon a creature with a hard shell, similar to a bull, to break up the formation of the Liejian Death Servants.

The existence of the Magic Medium Ring allows Fang Yu to continuously use his essence to expand the capacity of the Summoning Gate. This capacity is now quite large, and with the support of three essences, he now has 40 summoned beasts.

"Dimensional gate, open!"

Fang Yu sat cross-legged, his fingers rapidly drawing and sketching in front of him.

As his consciousness drifted into the dimensional world, even though Fang Yu's eyes were closed, the outlines of numerous mountains and vast lands appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

When Fang Yu's soul consciousness travels through time, the mountains and rivers of the summoned planes are quickly left behind, just like a powerful divine soul rapidly touring its own land.

In order to find the summoned beast he needed, Fang Yu deliberately went to a very far place.

One after another, towering rocky peaks swept past Fang Yu, and finally a relatively flat plain appeared before him.

The plains were still mostly stones and sand, but the herds of animals running across them were so numerous that it was dazzling. Fang Yu felt as if he had arrived at a vast pasture, where herds of livestock were frolicking!
"Earth ostrich?"

"He is indeed a tall, handsome guy, but his feathers are probably not strong enough." Fang Yu stroked his chin and began to select the summonable creatures he needed in this flat, open field.

Of course, this is also the case when there is no battle, so you can filter in this way.

If it's during battle, then the system will automatically select what to summon, and what you summon depends entirely on luck.

Even if you manage to enter the summoning dimension, you still need a bit of luck; you never know what kind of creature you might encounter.

"Thump thump thump thump~~~~~~~~"

The earth suddenly trembled violently. Fang Yu heard the sound and found himself surrounded by billowing dust, like a sandstorm, which almost swallowed the horizon.

"What is that thing, so imposing?"

Fang Yu immediately flew down and disappeared into the dust.

In the dust, burly figures flashed past Fang Yu quickly. When they encountered some protruding rocks, they didn't even bother to dodge, but crashed directly into them, smashing the rocks to pieces.

"Frost-covered Mammoth!" Fang Yu exclaimed in surprise.

These ancient elephant beasts possessed towering, frost-covered tusks, and their hides were made of frost, as hard as centuries-old ice, so that plant thorns could not harm them in the slightest.

They are large in size and incredibly strong, so they don't need to be too powerful in combat; it's enough for them to be able to crush any obstacles in their path when they run.

Frost Mammoth, it couldn't be more perfect!
Fang Yu used his summoning magic. The temporary contracts were like moonlight forming a circle. As long as they successfully landed on the target, he could summon it to his side. He completed the task perfectly in one go. The rest was to restore his magic power and wait for tomorrow.
