Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 4 Demon, it’s a demon!

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun slowly sets in the west.

The colors of dusk are rendered on the edge of the sky, and the sunset glow is leisurely, making people feel leisurely.

After school, Jiang Yuan returned home, rolled comfortably on the bed, and then prepared to get up and cook something.

I opened the refrigerator and there were only a few eggs and potatoes inside, not even any noodles.

Jiang Yuan then remembered that he had said he would buy groceries the day before yesterday, but he had always forgotten about it.

There was no choice but to go downstairs.

Life Supermarket is not far away.

Just as Jiang Yuan passed by the sewer manhole cover in the community, a very obvious clanging sound of iron and stone colliding came from the sewer.

Jiang Yuan stopped and looked at the slightly shaking manhole cover.

The clanging sound reached the wellhead and then quieted down.

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, intending to take a closer look, when suddenly a chill ran from the soles of his feet through his spine to the top of his head.

With a "bang", the manhole cover was knocked away by a black shadow.

A strong fishy smell hit Jiang Yuan in the face, and his eyes widened.

It's a giant-eyed fishy rat!
Although this giant-eyed rat was very thin and much smaller than its peers, he could tell at a glance that it was a giant-eyed rat!
In order to prepare for future disasters in Bo City, he had already searched the library for all the demon races around Bo City.

"Demon, it's a demon!!!" passers-by shouted.

The scene suddenly became chaotic and people fled like crazy.

The more chaotic it is, the more it arouses the ferocity of the giant-eyed rat. Its blue eyeballs, as big as basketballs, are covered with disgusting tumors and spin wildly.

"Gugugugu..." A strange low growl came from the chest of the giant-eyed fishy rat, and the next moment it flew out.

Passersby who didn't have time to dodge were knocked down, and the giant-eyed rat pierced their thighs with its claws.

"Ah!" Screams were heard accompanied by blood splattering.

Jiang Yuan was stunned. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to react before blood splattered on his face.

The giant-eyed rat did not seem to intend to kill the wailing human beneath it immediately. It allowed the human to slowly lose its life on the ground, and began to look for the next victim with its ferocious eyes.

Jiang Yuan finally came to his senses and without hesitation, turned around and ran away.

He was good at magic, but he didn't think he could escape unscathed from his first encounter with a servant-level demon.

Any mistake will cost your life!

However, Jiang Yuan's sudden movement made the giant-eyed rat the first to target him, and it rushed over howling.

Feeling the stench and roars getting closer and closer from behind, Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly, thinking that he was so unlucky to be targeted.

The ranks of demons are slaves, generals, commanders, monarchs, and emperors.

Corresponding to the mage's basic, intermediate, advanced, super level and forbidden spells.

Although they correspond, at the same level, it often takes a team of mages to deal with one demon.

Jiang Yuan did not have destructive magic like the thunder and fire magic, so he had no intention of turning around and fighting back. He could only delay time as much as possible until the city monster hunting team arrived.

The giant-eyed fishy rat was extremely fast, and the distance between Jiang Yuan and it was less than one meter. The stench that came out seemed to be drilling into his lungs.

Jiang Yuan knew that he could not escape, so he suddenly turned around and dodged, leaving the giant-eyed rat empty-handed, while at the same time drawing star tracks in his mental space.

But due to the violent mental fluctuations, the star track quickly collapsed.

It was his first time facing a demon, and he couldn't even cast a single spell!

"Damn it!" Jiang Yuan growled. The giant-eyed rat had pounced on him again, and he could only continue to dodge.

Stardust strengthens a magician's physique, otherwise Jiang Yuan would have perished at the claws of the giant-eyed rat. However, as his strength wore away, Jiang Yuan's clothes were already torn, revealing several horrific wounds oozing hot blood.

For some reason, the bleeding and pain made him calmer.

Jiang Yuan understood that the beast behind him was not unable to catch him, but was enjoying the hunt and was playing with him as prey!
If you delay any longer, he will be torn to pieces or bleed to death.

Jiang Yuan realized the seriousness of the matter, and his mind became clearer than ever before. In just a breath of time, a dazzling star trail drew a graceful arc in his spiritual space.

When his life was in danger, he finally put aside all external factors and completed the star track extremely quickly.

"Waterbending!"

A stream of water appeared in the air, floating around Jiang Yuan like a silk ribbon.

Jiang Yuan turned around and jumped back hard, putting some distance between himself and the giant-eyed fishy rat.

When the giant-eyed fishy rat saw that its prey had the consciousness to resist, a hint of sarcasm flashed in its eyes, and its huge eyes actually glowed scarlet.

A crimson, piercing light shot out, aiming to take the life of the human before him.

However, when this light came into contact with Shui Yuyi, its lethality was greatly reduced, and the light that passed through only made Jiang Yuan feel an uncomfortable burning sensation.

When the giant-eyed rat saw that the human it was teasing had blocked its scarlet light, it became angry and waved its sharp claws.

The distance between the man and the beast was shortened again.

Jiang Yuan was no longer as panicked as before, and was calmly thinking about his response strategy.

His eyes flashed, and he turned his body slightly at the risk of being torn to pieces, and the ferocious claws almost brushed past his chest.

Here's your chance to fight back!
Jiang Yuan's mind moved, and cold air spread out. The water condensed into ice crystal spears and shot out.

"Ice Imperial!"

"Jie!" The giant-eyed rat roared in disgust.

The ice spear actually pierced directly into the abdomen where the defense was the weakest, and smelly blood flowed out.

The counterattack was effective. Jiang Yuan did not give the giant-eyed rat time to breathe. He once again mobilized the magic power of Stardust to condense an ice crystal spear to stab the giant-eyed rat.

The giant-eyed rat did not sit still and wait for death. Its eyes kept emitting scarlet rays and it roared.

Faced with the giant-eyed rat that had lost its mind and was fighting for its life, Jiang Yuan did not find it difficult to deal with.

He kept moving in the gap between the light and the beast's claws, and every time he had a chance to fight back, he would leave a deep bloody hole in the belly of the giant-eyed rat.

Even some internal organs flowed out of the wound.

The giant-eyed rat's breath grew weaker and weaker, its movements becoming sluggish. It was clearly at the end of its strength, its life hanging by a thread, and it could die at any moment!
Jiang Yuan's magic power had been exhausted at this time, and his physical strength was almost at its limit. The reason he could hold on for so long was entirely due to the stimulation of human potential.

He distanced himself one last time and watched the giant-eyed rat slowly die from afar.

At this moment, several figures came flying over.

The city monster hunters are here.

"Fire burst—explosion!" The leading captain shouted, and fiery red energy shot into the body of the giant-eyed rat.

In an instant, flames burst out from the body of the giant-eyed rat.

The giant-eyed rat eventually died in regret. It never imagined that it would be forced to such a point by its own prey.

After the giant-eyed fishy rat died, a ray of light that no one could see flew out of its body, and no one knew where it flew to.

They looked at the wounds on the giant-eyed rat and realized that the magician was about to end the battle.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at the scene just now, they only saw a blurry figure disappearing into the corner of the wall, and did not see the person's appearance.

The captain looked around and saw the figure of the magician from before, but now the most important thing is to deal with the aftermath, and he has no time to track down which magician it is.

Maybe a passing magician.
