Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Xie Sang stared blankly at the piles of minced meat at his feet, with bright red blood splattered on his face.

After regaining his senses, he thankfully took a few steps back, but lost his footing and fell into the mud. Thinking about how close he had been to death, the sudden sound made him instinctively look towards the village entrance.

At the village entrance, a young man dressed in a black robe stood there with his right hand raised, seemingly relaxed. The gesture clearly indicated that this was the young man who had just saved him.

Behind these young people, a number of others arrived at the village entrance one after another.

"Old man, please step back a bit."

Mo Xie glanced at the frightened Xie Sang and offered a calm reminder.

Upon hearing this, Xie Sang quickly retreated more than ten meters away, because if he wasn't mistaken, what he had just used was spatial power, which is usually a standard feature of high-level mages.

Therefore, the young man in front of me is at least a high-level mage, whose strength is many times greater than mine!
After Xie Sang retreated to a distance, Mo Xie looked at the twenty-odd undead running towards him, and slowly clenched his open hand into a fist.

An immense spiritual force formed an invisible hand around the undead, slowly compressing the space around them until it was crushed alive amidst their wails!

In an instant, a large amount of blood splattered everywhere along with the flesh and blood, which terrified Xie Sang, Hong Jun, and Su Xiaoluo.

"monkey!"

At this moment, Mo Fan spotted Zhang Xiaohou hiding behind Su Xiaoluo, and his face instantly lit up with excitement. He quickly ran over and hugged him.

"Monkey, it's me, your brother Fan. Don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohou's blank and flustered appearance, as if he didn't recognize him, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... this is the legendary amnesia?

"Hey, do you...do you know him?"

Su Xiaoluo, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Mo Fan.

Mo Fan nodded to Su Xiaoluo, then looked at Zhang Xiaohou, who didn't recognize him at all. Even though the guy seemed to have really lost his memory, he still grabbed him and gave him a big hug.

"It's good that you're not dead... It's good that you're not dead!"

But after only a short while of hugging, a force pushed Mo Fan away. He staggered a few steps, still completely dazed.

What just happened? I was just pushed away like that?
He Yu had already arrived in front of Zhang Xiaohou, shaking him incessantly with both hands, her face full of worry, and said in a flustered manner.

"Xiao Hou, it's me, Xiao Yu. Don't you remember me?"

"Xiao Hou, say something! Are you deliberately acting stupid?!"

"Xiao Hou, are you deliberately ignoring me because of this woman?"

As the words came to everyone's ears, Su Xiaoluo never expected that this girl was actually Zhang Xiaohou's girlfriend. Moreover, she felt uncomfortable listening to these words, as if she were the third party.

As for the others, they all looked at He Yu with embarrassment. All along the way, the other party gave everyone the impression of being gentle and weak with a touch of heroism, but the words she said were too inconsistent with her image!

……

The morning light was still veiled by dark clouds, and when it fell on the village, it was dim and unclear.

The rain has stopped, but the clouds haven't dispersed, lingering above this salty land all day long.

Outside the small house in the center of Huacun, a large number of villagers gradually gathered, peeking into the house, eager to catch a glimpse of the high-ranking mage.

"Hey, where is the Dharma Master? I can't see him."

"Don't push, don't push! You want to see, and I want to see too!"

"What are you trying to squeeze in for? They're talking in the next room, they can't see anything there."

"I think I just saw a beautiful woman, but unfortunately I can't see her now."

"Who isn't? I just saw a woman in a black dress, and her figure and face... tsk tsk, she's several times more beautiful than Xiao Luo."

The villagers' argument caused Asin and Ali, who were guarding the courtyard gate, to frown deeply. They were particularly annoyed that these rude people had dared to verbally insult their most revered saintess.

However, the two were helpless. The saintess had given them instructions not to take any action unless attacked by undead.

For the knights of the Parthenon, obedience to the orders of the saintess, the matriarch, and other high-ranking members of the Parthenon was ingrained in their very being.

Without Asha's orders, no matter how dissatisfied the two were with these rude people, they could only silently endure it.

Inside the house, apart from Su Xiaoluo, everyone else in Huacun had been driven out by Mo Xie. He stared intently into Zhang Xiaohou's eyes, seeing only confusion and blankness, and a smile curled at the corner of his lips.

You're putting on a good act, but I won't expose you yet...

With the help of his healing magic, Zhang Xiaohou's injuries and scars disappeared, and his body returned to its best condition.

"Xiaoyu, take off Xiaohou's shirt."

He Yu looked puzzled, but without thinking much about it, she skillfully took off Zhang Xiaohou's shirt. However, the scene in front of her the next second shocked her.

"My God!"

In an instant, a black, centipede-like mark appeared clearly on Zhang Xiaohou's arm, as if it were embedded in his flesh, looking extremely ferocious!

"Forgotten insects?!"

Upon seeing the scene before her, Asha Ruya was the first to exclaim in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared at the strange centipede on Zhang Xiaohou's body!

A black, venomous thread, like a worm's silk, stretched from his wrist to his shoulder, then to the back of his neck, and finally disappeared into the back of his head...

The others were also stunned. They hadn't even noticed that there was a black centipede inside Zhang Xiaohou's body. This black centipede had been lurking for who knows how long and was already as thick as a thumb. How terrifying it must be for such a thing to be inside a human body!
What is the "forgetful insect"?

Hearing what Asha Ruya said, Mo Fan came to his senses and quickly asked.

"This forgetting worm is a kind of mind-based worm that devours important memories deep in a person's heart. If the person who has been infected with the forgetting worm is able to remember everything that happened one day, it means that his death is imminent. No wonder he has forgotten some things."

"what?!"

When Asha's solemn words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise.

"If Zhang Xiaohou's memories are restored..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoluo covered her gaping mouth and looked at Zhang Xiaohou with a face full of shock.

"The more fully he recovers, the closer he is to death. Perhaps the medicine you used on him contained something that inhibited the growth of this Forgetfulness Worm. Otherwise, the Forgetfulness Worm would have killed him long ago. This is a vicious method that combines mental and curse techniques!"

Upon hearing this, He Yu glanced at Zhang Xiaohou with concern before asking somewhat nervously.

"Then, Sister Meng'e, can you cure the forgetfulness bug in Xiao Hou's head?"

"I do not know what to do."

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Asha'ruya shook her head apologetically and spoke earnestly.

"However, I think after you return to the ancient capital, you can go and find Han Ji, the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association. He is a super-level healing mage, so he should be able to solve the problem."

After giving a few words of advice to everyone, she turned her gaze to Mo Xie and said solemnly.

"The Forget-Insect is a tactic of the Black Vatican. Your friend must have discovered something, but he hasn't acted against it due to some danger. You might as well be bolder. He must have come into contact with a core secret. If you want to do something for the Ancient Capital, you'd better heal him."

Mo Xie naturally understood this principle and nodded solemnly.

"oh, I understand now."

The two of them kept talking back and forth, leaving everyone present bewildered. Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting were the first to react, their expressions becoming extremely serious.

From the conversation just now, we learned that Zhang Xiaohou was infected with the Forgetfulness Worm because he discovered some secret of the Black Vatican, which caused him to be in this state.

The Black Vatican... Could it be that they intend to take action against the ancient capital?! (End of Chapter)
