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

Chapter 521

After a long while, the two lay down in the spacious back seat of the car.

Tang Yue nestled in Fang Yu's arms, her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.

Fang Yu draped his coat over her and gently stroked her hair.

"The entire coastal area of ​​Zhejiang Province is talking about your deeds. You've become a hero." Tang Yue buried her face in Fang Yu's chest and gently rubbed against him.

“I have no interest in these empty titles. While the siren brings disaster, it also brings abundant resources, which is what I need,” Fang Yu replied.

"No matter what, the result is good, isn't it? You saved a lot of people!" Tang Yue gave him another light peck on the cheek.

“That’s not wrong either.” Fang Yu did not deny it.

"Are you leaving again tomorrow?" Tang Yue pressed.

"What, you don't want me to leave?" Fang Yu teased.

"Hmm!" Tang Yue gritted her teeth slightly upon hearing this, her face full of resentment, and said, "I have less and less time to spend with you!"

"Don't hold a grudge. This time, the magic energy consumption was too great, and it will take a long time to recover. We'll stay in Hangzhou for now!" Fang Yu reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you!" Tang Yue pounced on Fang Yu again and gently bit him on the shoulder.

They snuggled together and cuddled for a while.

The two then got dressed and began their journey home.

The windshield wipers parted the crisp raindrops, revealing a road that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The warm car lights shone in the night, exuding a tender and affectionate glow.

……

After a week of rest, Fang Yu recovered and set off for Shanghai.

In Shanghai, however, they will soon face the Sea King Skull.

This guy is definitely a top overlord on the coastline. Moreover, he is extremely arrogant. While other sea monster armies rely on endless lesser monsters, he chooses to fight alone.

The Neptune Skeleton has been stationed in Shanghai for several days, and the Guardian Mage has suffered countless casualties in its battles against it.
……

When Fang Yu led the Flying Dragon Riders, led by Shao Yu, across the center of Shanghai, he witnessed a rather bizarre scene.

The sky to the southeast was dark and unclear, and the horizon seemed to be stained with a special blood-red halo.

The clouds churned eerily, as if some strange monster was causing trouble.

Every now and then, howling winds, like those of a typhoon, lashed against the skyscrapers of this city shrouded in mist, casting a strange gloom over everyone's hearts.

This is a bustling city.

On the other side, however, lies a cold, eerie sea in the apocalypse.

It seems that the peaceful and tranquil era of civilization is about to end, and humanity will usher in a more difficult period, one that is dark, cold, and damp, yet we have no choice but to coexist with it.

The world has already begun to change, changing silently.

From a young age, everyone is given a heart to change the world, but the world never changes because of anyone. It moves forward, breaks down, and heals, regardless of any individual life.

Life is simply about adapting to change. In times of peace, we live with greater quality. In times of calamity, we strive to ensure the continuation of life and the species.

Now, the world is beginning to fall apart.

It's like a test.

Those that failed to pass were forever lost—a cruel and merciless act.

Even if the world collapses on one side, this side is a thriving metropolis. Even knowing that the city could fall into an abyss at any moment, people still have to live their lives as usual.

Of course, there are also those who have never changed, such as ordinary people. They don't know what tomorrow will bring, but they know that with the protection of the mages, they don't need to worry about anything else.

Whether the mages win a pyrrhic victory or a narrow triumph, it won't affect them. If the mages lose, even powerful mages can be annihilated; what can ordinary people like them do?

So, for a moment, it seemed as if everyone was experiencing two different worlds...

The city and the battlefield are actually separated by only a seawall, and below the seawall are bustling streets.

It's not that people don't know how to seek refuge, but rather that there are very few truly safe places these days. Human safety has been severely compressed, and the safest places are always the cities.

The city has been captured, and everywhere is now a den of demons.

On the seawall, heavy guards were on standby, and mages formed a human wall that was almost a meter higher than the seawall. The magical barrier was an arc in the sky, covering just a little bit behind the seawall wall, not wanting to waste any more space.

Between the clouds and the sea, one can occasionally see some flying monsters. Most of them are similar to vultures, never participating in direct combat, but they will stare intently at those who are dead or about to die, whether they are humans or sea monsters.

Just as Fang Yu and his group were about to reach the seawall, they suddenly received a call from Jiang Shaoxu.

"You bastard, you're famous for slaying demons and monsters in the outside world, but you didn't even think of taking me with you!" As soon as the call connected, Jiang Shaoxu's seductive voice came through.

"With you by my side, I won't be distracted. If we encounter powerful demons, I'll be able to protect myself. You'll be worried then!" Fang Yu teased.

"You have no sense of romance!" Jiang Shaoxu said angrily.

"Let's get down to business, I'm busy right now!" Fang Yu said.

“I’m right here outside the Shanghai barrier, come find me!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

"How did you know I was in Shanghai?" Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

“Lingling is right next to me. Your phone has been compromised by a surveillance camera, and you didn’t know!” Jiang Shaoxu said arrogantly.

"Alright, just wait!"

Next, Fang Yu looked down and began searching on the dragon riding Shao Yu. Soon he saw Jiang Shaoxu and Lingling.

The next moment, Fang Yu, along with Shao Yu and Ya Long, vanished instantly and arrived beside Jiang Shao Xu and Ling Ling.

Jiang Shaoxu looked at the dragon above his head and said, "I heard you formed a dragon rider mage team? When did that happen?"

"That jerk went to the Victoria Clan to buy things without taking me with him," Lingling said resentfully.

"Haha..." Fang Yu laughed awkwardly, then changed the subject, "Let's go see how the battle is going?"

The next moment, Fang Yu used spatial techniques to bring the two of them onto the back of the dragon.

Soon, they flew out of the barrier and crossed the seawall, where a strong smell of blood immediately hit them.

Fang Yu was already used to this kind of smell, but Jiang Shaoxu was choked by it. As a mind mage, she rarely encountered demon attacks, even in the wild.

Lingling, a girl who dares to dissect anything, is equally composed.

Jiang Shaoxu felt a touch of admiration for Lingling; this little girl was truly quite unique.

A group of magic association members, who had probably just returned from the front lines, did not go directly back behind the seawall to rest. Instead, they chose a dilapidated rooftop and sat down on the ground.

When they looked up and saw several enormous flying dragons appearing from the An Realm, they were all stunned.

"What...what kind of mage team is this?!" a mage from the Magic Association asked.

As he asked the question, many people looked up.

"My God, where did these dozen or so giant dragons come from?!"

"I seem to have heard of it; it must be a dragon rider unit founded in Snowmoon City."

"Yes, yes, I know about this too. Didn't you see the report from Hangzhou? Led by the city lord of Snow Moon City, a group of flying dragon riders assisted the Zhejiang Province mages in dismantling the invading sea monster tribes along the coast."

Soon, a cacophony of voices arose from here, growing increasingly agitated.
