Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 126, Dawn is Coming

"You want to imprison me?!"

Lu Huan shouted, raised his palms, and the Starry Sea of ​​Light suddenly rose into the sky!

"Holy Decree - Heaven-Splitting Sword!!!"

The holy sword falling from the sky above the vast sea, like a judgment from heaven, carrying the will of light, tore through the dead zone and crashed down!

This sword strike resonated with heaven and earth, piercing through the clouds, as if a true god had intervened!

The Skeleton Lord had no time to dodge and was struck head-on by the Heavenly Rift Holy Sword. His entire skeleton fell like a broken mountain, and the hillside thousands of meters away completely collapsed the moment it hit the ground!
"Boom!!!"

Its defiant roar echoed through the night sky, yet it already seemed frantic and weak.

……

At the same time, the corpse of the mountain below had approached the city to within a kilometer, and its every step was like a great earthquake, carrying the might of the mountains.

Aside from its dragon breath, the Corpse Lord of the Underworld wasn't actually that much of a threat to the city's barrier. The Mountain Corpse was different; its size was enormous, and every inch of it was solid flesh, unlike the hollow, watery Bone Dragon.

Even without using any demonic magic, its sheer size alone would likely cause immense damage to the barrier with a single punch or kick.

"Don't let him get near the barrier!"

Two lightning-type super-tier fighters took the lead, followed by a large group of lightning-type high-tier fighters, numbering twenty or thirty. They flapped their winged magical artifacts, struggling to eliminate the evil spirits in the air, while also taking time to perform their own participation tasks.

Countless lightning-elemental stars lit up the sky, and constellations of celestial lightning appeared in the air. Guided by two high-level lightning mages, these constellations returned to their positions one by one, forming a magnificent and imposing lightning palace!
"Thunderous Punishment - Twelve Thunder Halberds!"

The two lightning-elemental super-tier mages shouted simultaneously, and their overwhelming divine might instantly permeated the heavens and earth.

Thunderclouds surged, and twelve silver-purple lightning pillars descended from the clouds above the sky, like twelve celestial halberds, carrying a divine aura that suppressed all evil, and precisely nailed into the earth surrounding the corpse on the mountain peak!

Kakakaka—!
Wherever the lightning halberd landed, the earth's veins trembled, and lightning spread like a spider web, instantly forming a giant lightning sealing array.

The twelve thunder halberds formed a ring of thunder, with interwoven thunder patterns and intersecting runes, creating a thunder punishment trapping array to imprison the undead lord!

The mountain corpse's steps were finally halted by the lightning restriction. As if sensing something, it let out a low, angry roar. Its steps were suppressed, and beneath its massive body, the flesh began to be scorched by the lightning patterns, rotting blood flowed out, and billowing black smoke rose from where it landed.

"Its movement has been successfully restricted!!"

"We can't let our guard down yet, it'll break free sooner or later!!"

Han Ji's gaze was sharp as a blade. He wore an ice-white robe and snow-feathered demon boots, exuding a cold and resolute aura.

Without uttering a word, more than thirty high-level ice-type individuals and several super-level individuals behind him quickly took their positions and constructed another large ice-type array in mid-air, interwoven with blue and white!

"Using my ice seal as the core, I summon the Starry Sea Ice Palace—"

"Ten Thousand Cold Soul-Locking Formation!"

"open!"

Han Ji's white hair flew wildly, and his spiritual power surged out like a raging tide!

Blah blah blah!

The entire battlefield plummeted to freezing point, and the moisture between heaven and earth was frantically drawn away, condensing into crystalline threads that covered the air, soil, and lightning energy surrounding the corpse on the mountain peak!
Frost hangs upside down, freezing the earth!
The Ice Star Palace slowly rotated in the air, and a statue carved from pure ice gradually condensed in its center. It was the Snow Maiden Goddess based on super-level three magic!
As the colossus unleashed its palm, all the ice-type planets within the star map exploded into flames!
The mountain corpses within the lightning array were instantly pierced and bound by countless ice chains, their collarbones, shoulders, spines, and legs pinned to the spot by chains of icy ice!

Lightning bolts and frost freeze!
The mountain's corpse, like a monstrous statue surrounded by heaven and earth, struggled violently, yet struggled to break free of the formation for the time being! "It's done!!"

"The Ice and Lightning Dual Array... is sealed!"

The numerous mages were greatly encouraged and launched a series of remote support attacks, raining down a barrage of spells on the center of the trapped formation.

Han Ji snorted coldly, his gaze never wavering: "Don't be careless. Retreat back into the barrier and conserve your strength!"

Before he finished speaking, the temperature around him plummeted, and countless ice locks and spikes whistled and danced around him. The approaching demons and flying corpses were instantly crushed into dust and ashes. Even the ghosts that got close enough froze and shattered, turning into powder that scattered into the void.

High-ranking and super-ranking mages responded to the order and quickly organized a retreat, escorting teams of all ranks to break through the undead encirclement in batches and retreat back into the barrier.

Under such a dense siege of undead, even a high-level mage could be ambushed and killed by a shadow attack. The higher-ups originally did not allow mages to leave the barrier in large numbers to fight, unless absolutely necessary, as is the case now.

Every proactive attack is accompanied by the sacrifice of high-level mages. This tactic is almost unsustainable. However, if the mountain corpse is not held back, it may cause incalculable disaster once it gets close to the barrier!
Han Ji, Military Commander Yaoting, Zhu Meng, and others returned to the temporary command post on the North City Tower, where they were greeted by a constant stream of casualty lists and weary faces.

Half of the high-ranking officials who were previously detained have been released. Following an emergency investigation by the trial committee and the response of Mu He, the captured Chief Steward of Hujin, some high-ranking officials with less suspicion and clear identities have regained their freedom.

However, four people have not yet been released: two elders of the Hunter Alliance and two super-level mages from aristocratic families.

These individuals are not affiliated with the Inquisition or the military system, allowing them freedom of movement and making their whereabouts difficult to verify. Furthermore, they bear faint traces of special types of magic, such as mind magic and curses, making them among the most difficult to identify.

Han Ji has no intention of releasing them for the time being.

He still believed that as long as he held on until dawn, the spirits would dissipate as usual, and then he could slowly deal with these people and find out who Salang was.

In his eyes, this disaster was exactly the same as the Bo City incident back then. The so-called violent rain was just a tool used by the Black Jueting to stimulate demons; he never imagined it could make the dead unafraid of sunlight.

……

Time passed by, and with the super-level mages breaking out of the barrier to fight several times, and the other eight dead kings not making a move, the situation remained deadlocked until dawn quietly arrived.

The mountain corpse continued to roar and struggle at the edge of the lightning and ice array. The twelve lightning halberds flashed with dazzling lightning, and the ice chains stretched across the earth, locking the terrifying giant corpse in place.

In addition, another great array of light and earth was added, and this terrifying supreme monarch was firmly imprisoned by one trap after another for three hours.

After their fierce battle, the Lord of the Undead and Lu Huan were both severely injured and temporarily retreated into the depths of the undead army, seemingly to lie dormant and heal.

High in the sky, battle clouds gathered, and blood, thunder, fire, and frost coalesced into lingering magical afterimages. The city was surrounded by charred and icy ruins.

On the north city tower, high-level mages took turns resuming their positions and supporting the barrier defenses. Meanwhile, the super-level powerhouses who returned from outside the barrier all appeared weak, their robes tattered, and their faces pale.

Their mental energy was nearly exhausted. They hadn't rested all night, and many were relying on magic potions to keep going.

At this moment, on the eastern horizon, a sliver of light quietly pierced the darkness.

That was a harbinger of dawn.

No one cheered at that moment; they simply looked up at the sliver of dawn, and some silently closed their eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"...It's finally going to end." Someone murmured, their voice barely audible.

Since ancient times, the spirits of the dead have feared the sun.

This is a well-known rule in the ancient capital.
