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

Chapter 128, The Barrier Shatters

At the foot of the city wall, Mo Fan found Chen Hao, who was slacking off. They were taking turns resting under the pretext of resting their magical energy.

"Chen Hao, what do we do now?" Mo Fan asked anxiously, clearly not stupid and having already anticipated something.

"Let's conserve our magic energy; the ancient capital is probably beyond our defense," Chen Hao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes widened and his whole body trembled.

"If the barrier can't hold, we'll still die. Do you really think we can break through this sea of ​​the dead?" he couldn't help but ask.

“If the high-ranking members of the super-level group choose to break through, there might still be a glimmer of hope. However, if they rashly follow, they will probably be used as cannon fodder. In the end, they still have to rely on themselves.” Chen Hao took out the Blood Shard, held it in his palm, and felt the temperature. The evil red energy looked exceptionally exquisite.

"this is for you."

"What is this?" Mo Fan asked, taking it instinctively.

"This is something that drains your soul. Once crushed, all your magic will experience a leap in improvement in a short period of time, at least a major upgrade. But the price is unpredictable side effects, or even death."

Chen Hao explained that this was also his last resort.

……

Inside the north gate tower, numerous high-ranking officials paced anxiously like ants on a hot plate. For the lower-ranking mages, the undead's continued refusal to retreat meant merely obeying orders and fighting desperately; but for those in power, it was tantamount to the sky falling and the earth collapsing!

Especially Han Ji.

The president of the Clock Tower Magic Association was known for his cold, unyielding, and decisive nature. But now, he was kneeling, his face pale, and his voice trembling:

“Salang…you can have anything you want…take it all. But…I, Han Ji, beg you, spare the people of this city…”

The moment those words were spoken, the entire tower fell silent.

A high-ranking official in the ancient capital, a powerful super-level mage, actually bowed his head to Hei Jue Ting and knelt before Salang!

That unparalleled magic, at this moment, was like a bubble, completely shattered by this humble plea.

Many high-ranking officials were stunned and could not believe what they were seeing.

Only Ling Xi had a slight, mocking sneer on her lips. But her deeply lined old face remained calm and composed; no one could tell what she was thinking.

As expected, Han Ji eventually gave in.

Every additional high-level mage increases the hope of defending the ancient capital. With the city besieged by fallen rulers from all sides, even if these people harbor ulterior motives, it's worth the risk to gamble if they can hold off just one enemy.

Finally, after a heated discussion, an agreement was reached: in exchange for "leading by example," several super-class beings would gain their freedom.

They must proceed to the West Gate immediately to confront the Agate Corpse King and be subject to Zhu Meng's constant surveillance and control.

No retreating, no standing by, no holding back.

No matter how unwilling or resentful they are, if they still want to maintain their foothold in the human world at this moment, they can only accept their fate; otherwise, they should prepare to hide in the sewers and live like rats.

Even so, the ancient capital is still just a drop in the ocean.

Almost all the super-level combat forces that the entire city could mobilize had been dispatched, and the most terrifying one was the Mountain Corpse.

That colossal undead monster, as tall as a mountain and capable of crushing everything in its path, was still unstoppable.

When it finally broke free of the great formation that had imprisoned it, and arrived before the barrier amidst billowing dust of corpses—

Its silhouette can be clearly seen throughout the inner city of the ancient capital.

It was no longer the ordinary person's imagination of a colossal object, but a real, tangible terror, like a fractured mountain range. Towering into the clouds, its back jagged and sheer, its entire body covered in layers of skeletal armor, it resembled a palace forged from the solidified will of countless deaths. With each step it took, the ground would shatter with a roar like a meteorite crashing down!

"Boom--!!"

It stretched out a giant arm and slowly, heavily, slammed it onto the barrier on the north side.

At that moment, the entire city seemed to tremble. "Aaaaaah—!!!"

In the streets and alleys, ordinary citizens let out heart-wrenching screams as they saw that colossal creature blotted out the sky and looked down upon the world, as if it could crush the entire city at any moment!

Many people fled in panic, some even kneeling on the ground to pray, some weeping with their heads in their hands, and some shouting the names of their loved ones at the top of their lungs. The whole city was plunged into extreme panic and chaos!

"Quickly... evacuate immediately! Activate underground defenses in all medical zones!!!"

"All combat teams! Return to the city walls! Quickly!!"

The instructions came through the magical broadcast one after another, and the commanders' voices no longer carried their usual composure, as if they too knew that this pass could not be held.

The high-ranking mages stood on the high wall, gazing at the mountain corpse that looked down upon all living beings like a god. Their faces turned pale, and even their magical energy flow became somewhat sluggish.

"This...this is not something we can fight against?" A young mage's lips trembled.

"Can we...can we really hold them off?"

The barrier was trembling. The semi-transparent magical energy barrier was slammed open by the mountain corpse with a single palm strike, leaving more than a dozen deep cracks, like a spider web extending across a frozen lake!

It feels like this barrier will shatter in no time.

"How could it break free from the formation so quickly..." A commander's face turned ashen, and he almost cursed under his breath.

"Wasn't it supposed to hold it for at least half an hour!?"

"How many Super-Tier beings do we... how many of us do we have left?" someone asked, their voice trembling.

"They're gone! The super-level beings have all gone out to fight the other undead from all directions!"

"Where is Chairman Han Ji? Chairman Han!?"

"He...he hasn't come back yet..."

Inside the clock tower at the highest point of the inner city, the high-ranking staff officers were already like ants on a hot plate. Some were unsteady on their feet, some were frantically accessing combat data, and some were staring blankly at the map with ashen faces.

"If the barrier breaks, we won't even have time to retreat...!"

"The entire city is only protected by one layer of barrier. If it breaks down even a little more... if it breaks down even a little more, we're all finished..."

The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Outside, a low roar as heavy as the sky collapsing came from outside.

"Roar----!!!"

That was the roar of the mountain corpse, like rolling thunder, rolling through the air from outside the city walls, causing all the barrier runes to tremble at the same time!
The next moment, its mountain-like arm rose again, and a surging, overwhelming tide of corpse energy gathered, before everyone's horrified eyes—

boom! ! !
The barrier finally cracked for the first time!

A crack, like lightning, streaked across the sky, cleaving from the high southern wall of the city all the way into the sky above the inner city. The magic array light twisted wildly and began to collapse completely!
"The barrier is about to shatter!!!"

"The corpses of the mountain have begun their siege!!! Defense line! Defense line!!!"

Fear spread like a plague; amidst screams and magical alarms, the ancient capital was truly engulfed in a cataclysmic calamity of the dead.

This is just the beginning!

Click!
That deafening roar, like the sky being shattered, tore apart the defensive beliefs of the entire ancient capital.

The barrier collapsed.

The sky above the entire ancient capital collapsed into countless fragments of starlight at this moment, countless runes scattered, defensive formations were torn apart like rags, and hundreds and thousands of magical energy cracks exploded on the city walls!
