Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 701 The Realm of the Dead

After paying a deposit of 2.5 million and setting a departure time for tomorrow, Mo Xie and his companions left the Hunter Alliance.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, the group saw He Yu sitting in a chair. She looked much more haggard and frail.

"Light rain."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, He Yu's unfocused eyes regained some focus, and a glimmer of light appeared in her previously dim pupils. She looked up and saw a tall figure approaching.

"Brother Xie... Brother Xie..."

She snapped out of her daze, quickly stood up, ran over, and threw herself into Mo Xie's arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed.

"Brother Xie, Xiao Hou... he..."

Mo Xie held He Yu's trembling body, letting his clothes get soaked with tears, and gently patted her head, softly comforting her.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, Xiaohou will be alright. We'll go see him tomorrow."

Liu Xian looked at the girl in Mo Xie's arms. She was indeed quite pretty, with a hint of heroism in her eyes. She was also very cute with tears streaming down her face. However, in her eyes, the two of them had only the simplest feelings, and it would be better to express it as brother-sister affection.

"Yes, Monkey will definitely come back safely!"

Mo Fan nodded and offered words of comfort.

"Well, thank you."

After some comforting and painful conversation, He Yu finally felt a little better. She stepped out of Mo Xie's arms and gave him an apologetic smile.

"It's alright. Since you and Xiao Hou both call me Big Brother, then I am your Big Brother."

At this moment, Xu Zhaoting, who had been silent, spoke up and smiled slightly at He Yu.

"He Yu, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time."

After introducing Liu Xian to He Yu, Mo Xie led the group to a hotel to stay in.

Because of Zhang Xiaohou's matter, He Yu didn't get a good rest all day yesterday. Now that she finally saw Mo Xie, her nerves relaxed and she couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

Mo Xie originally planned to meet up with the group of students studying in the ancient capital, but considering that they would have to leave the city gates to go to Anjie again tomorrow, he decided to wait until he brought Zhang Xiaohou back before they could get together.

Mo Fan shared the same thought; otherwise, he couldn't stand spending the night with Zhou Min and then having to go out again the next day.

Besides, if Zhou Min knew they were going to look for Zhang Xiaohou, she would definitely say she wanted to go with them, so there was no need.

Since the two of them had made their decision, Xu Zhaoting naturally had no objections. He opened the window of the room, looked out at the bustling street, and gazed at the towering city wall in the far distance.

"Is this the ancient capital...?"

"Well, it's almost evening, do you want to go take a look?"

Mo Xie patted Xu Zhaoting on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"To the outer city wall... okay."

That evening, after dinner, the four of them went to the outer city wall to witness the awe-inspiring power of the undead. The realm of the dead is world-renowned, and seeing what the undead look like when they descend upon this land would serve as a form of mental preparation for facing them formally the next day.

The outer city wall was extremely high, encircling the city like an iron barrel. Mo Xie, in his capacity as a hunter master, led everyone to the top of the city wall. Walking along this seemingly endless wall path, they discovered that the scale of the guards here was more than ten times larger than during the day.

A cold wind blew in from afar, carrying the smell of rotting earth, which the guards called the smell of "death."

The towering city walls stretch across this land, as if severing the black earth in the middle. But if you look down from above, you'll see many people walking back and forth inside the walls, while outside the walls, many more figures wander aimlessly...

Black, velvety clouds rolled in, pressing down low, and in the flat land shrouded in darkness, it seemed as if all life was nourished by the rain of death.

One after another, unknown creatures crawled out of their deep-buried graves, scanning the world with their terrifying green eyes.

They sniffed stiffly, and a scent of life wafted from the direction of the upwind entrance... a large group of them!

Suddenly, the wandering undead, which had been moving mechanically, seemed to have been possessed by evil spirits. They evolved from slow-moving zombies into fast-moving zombies and rushed towards the ancient city at an extremely fast speed!
Their black bodies, from a distance, looked like a group of refugees rushing towards food. But when they gathered together in dense numbers and crashed into the city walls like a rotting flood, their ferocious faces and hungry eyes made countless mages feel their scalps tingle!

"Ugh!!!"

"Hooooo!!!"

Terrifying screams echoed everywhere, and even those living in the city center could hear these peculiar death wails from just a wall away.

They gathered at the foot of the towering outer city wall, trying to destroy the defense that blocked their hunting with their sharp claws and teeth. Some even rammed into it with brute force, smashing themselves to pieces!
"How come there are so many?"

Liu Xian's gaze followed the endless city wall, which stretched for miles and could be described as a mountain range. At every watchtower below the city wall, she could see hordes of the dead!
In some locations, the number of undead was so great that they had even built ladders of corpses, with the undead stepping on each other as they desperately tried to climb over the city wall.

"It's basically a horde of zombies..."

Like Liu Xian, Xu Zhaoting was visiting the ancient capital for the first time and finally witnessed the horde of undead, a true zombie siege!
The guardians, of course, wouldn't let them pass. Soon, a large group of mages unleashed their magic, bombarding the area with spells of different colors: flames, frost, lightning, and storms. Large swaths of flesh and blood splattered everywhere, a spectacular sight that sent chills down one's spine!

"Everyone waiting for you, please leave!"

The sound, seemingly coming from nowhere, was so powerful that it seemed to echo throughout the entire city wall and road.

The four had no chance to witness the night that resembled a war, and they quickly left the city walls. However, just before leaving, their gaze pierced through the darkness and they saw what appeared to be a huge shadow on the horizon beneath the thick, black velvet clouds!
The shadowy figure was surrounded by a vast, dark mass, spreading out like a rising tide. Even though it was completely invisible, one could imagine how densely packed the spirits were there.

The shadowy figure roared arrogantly to the heavens, its roar transforming into rolling thunder that pierced through the land, causing the city walls to tremble.

If we compare the ancient capital to a city, then the distant shadow is like a king, whose command unleashes a raging storm and an army of ten thousand men...

The group returned to the hotel to sleep, and by daybreak, the faint tremors that had been heard from the distant earth had disappeared.

Mo Xie opened the window, her gaze passing through the dense, grid-like city, streets, and alleys, finally landing on a gigantic, hazy shadow in the morning mist. It stretched across the horizon, signifying that dawn meant the end of a night-long battle.

"Hmm~"

On the soft bed, Liu Xian, wearing a burgundy nightgown, let out a soft moan and stretched out her slender, white arms to block the glaring sunlight.

Little did she know that this action would expose a large expanse of her fair skin, which shimmered under the sunlight, revealing a vibrant spring scene.

"Alright, hurry up and get dressed, we should be leaving." (End of Chapter)
