Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

Nobody likes taking a detour.

No one likes to take detours across the vast, desolate ice plains; in such places, the unknown and death are practically synonymous.

Ai Jiangtu said, "To be on the safe side, let's test the waters on the shore first, and then cross the lake after we've confirmed it's safe!"

Jiang Shaoxu drove the sled dogs forward.

Her mind magic can soothe the Blackwater Ice Demons, for they are a group of elemental creatures without intelligence.

Unlike boneless fish, this type of fish, despite its low ranking on the Siberian food chain, still possesses a fierce temperament.

Appeasing such a demon is definitely a losing proposition; it's far easier to kill it.

About an hour later, the group arrived at the lake.

Although it's called a lake, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea, as the water's end disappears into the horizon, making its boundary completely invisible.

"So big? There must be a lot of demons living inside!" Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed in surprise.

Margarita said, "I brought a demon-gathering device. We can set it up in another place, lure the demons there, and then take the opportunity to cross over!"

Xu Fang looked at her in surprise. Was this woman really that unconventional?

He used to say he had a farm where his grandfather, who liked to capture prisoners of war who were living a comfortable life and digging potatoes, lived. Now he can even get his hands on a demon-gathering device!

This is equipment controlled by the military, and like bombs, it is never circulated to the public.

This thing is very simple to use; it's similar to a mobile phone or an element detector.

Once used, it will emit energy fluctuations that will attract most of the demons within a radius.

The Demon Gathering Device is even more powerful, similar to emitting a noise that humans cannot hear.

Whether it's from the sky, the ground, the ground, or the sea, once this sound reaches the ears of demons, it will agitate them, and then hordes of demons will come to attack.

Using this principle, if the military wants to clear out a land of demons, they will use this demon-gathering device when they are absolutely in a position of overwhelming power.

"I agree!" Andrei was the first to support it: "This task should undoubtedly be entrusted to Leonid. He is not only brave, but also possesses powerful wind magic to match his bravery!"

“That’s definitely a good idea,” Lingling agreed.

Leonid's face turned green. What?! What?! What?!

Come again?

I'm the captain, after all. Even if I can't live a life of luxury due to limited resources, I shouldn't have to risk my life every time!

Am I not a life?!

“I think Xu Fang is more suitable for this mission than I am.” Leonid decisively switched candidates: “He possesses a high-quality winged magical artifact, and his speed is at least as fast as mine!”

"I object."

Lingling said, "Such a large lake, there might be a commander-level being inside. Let's not do something so risky."

Leonid: "...That's not what you just said."

So?

Lingling remained unfazed: "Just now I was considering things from the perspective of a military mage, but now I'm thinking from the perspective of a hunter. Hunters mostly operate in small teams when they're in the wild, and something like the Demon Gathering Device is practically a death warrant. Even the King of Hunters wouldn't dare to use it like that."

The double standard was blatantly displayed on Lingling's collagen-rich little face.

Ai Jiangtu stepped in to smooth things over: "Let's stick to the original plan. Don't linger in the fight. Once we've killed them all, let's keep moving forward!"

Leonid, Margarita, Andrei, and Xu Fang simultaneously released ice-type magic, which converged into a chaotic sphere of ice and snow in the sky.

"Such powerful energy! Leonid has improved again," Andrei praised.

progress?

No!

Leonid also felt the immense energy of the Ice Sphere. He couldn't do it himself, and his two teammates were far from it either. The only possibility was—Xu Fang!

"Xu Fang, you're so fierce," Margarita said deliberately in Mandarin, which earned her a roll of her eyes from Jiang Shaoxu.

That Russian, he did it on purpose!

The ice ball was thrown into the river, and the river surface froze instantly, piecing together with the original ice blocks to form a path of ice crystals that reflected sunlight.

Before anyone could step onto it, a blue-silver fish demon, three or four meters long, leaped onto the ice.

This demon has a slender and sturdy body, with strange and twisted fins all over its body, and its eyeballs protrude outwards. If you didn't know better, you would think it had drunk too much wastewater.

What's most eye-catching is undoubtedly the ring of sharp spikes that surround it, reflecting a green light in the sunlight. It makes one wonder if being stung by these poisonous spikes would, even if not kill you on the spot, turn you into a ready-made meal at the mercy of the demon.

"This is a boneless fish!"

Upon seeing the human mage, the boneless fish's ringed fins flared, and it opened its massive, fish-shaped mouth, roaring angrily at the group!

This is not over yet.

The second one, the third one...

Servant level, Warrior level!

The frozen lake surface happens to be the habitat of boneless fish.

If I don't come to the lake, I'll be eaten and bullied. If I come to the lake and still get bullied, then what the hell was the point of my trip?!

Brothers, grab the spikes and fuck them!

Xu Fang and the others were not going to tolerate it and immediately used magic to attack.

Ai Jiangtu used his spatial magic to strike a pose reminiscent of an anti-Japanese war hero, tearing a boneless fish in half with an invisible force.

Xu Fang didn't use any powerful magic; it wasn't worth it, like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

The most hardworking ones were a few Russians. No wonder they are called a fighting nation. Each of them had a large machete in hand. When the boneless fish struggled on the smooth ice surface created by Xu Fang, they rushed up with their machetes!

Chapter 133 Everyone's showing off

"Wind Disk Tornado!"

"Ice Lock·Bone Grinding!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The three Russians laughed loudly. At first, they took turns bombarding each other with magic, but the more they did it, the more chaotic it became, and the healthier the smiles on their faces became.

After hastily unleashing a spell, he eagerly lunged forward with his sword drawn.

"Hey, are you alright?" Jiang Shaoxu was startled and tried to stop Margaret, but the girl ran faster than a rabbit!

Wherever the greatsword struck, blood splattered everywhere. It specifically targeted demons that had been blasted half-crippled by magic, pounding the greatsword into their bodies with each blow, almost to the point of torture.

Suddenly, a seemingly dying boneless fish leaped up, its sharp, gleaming spines aimed at Margarita's chest.

Margarita was completely unaware.

Xu Fang raised his hand and pulled her over at the last second with his ice chains.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Margarita was completely unaware and even wanted to continue her charge.

"You fucking wake up!"

Xu Fang slapped her on the forehead, and Margarita was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses again, her eyes became clear again.

"I just..."

Xu Fang ignored her and used two more ice locks to pull the two men, who were blinded by rage from fighting demons, over: "A-Xu, make them come to their senses!"

"Okay, soothe the soul!"

Jiang Shaoxu quickly connected to the star track and cast magic on the two of them.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Leonid gasped for breath, remembering only that he had been "out of his mind" and only wanted to tear apart everything in front of him.

“Something is affecting our minds,” Lingling said in a deep voice.

The three people seemed to have forgotten all fear and become nothing more than killing machines.

This is just like—

Lingling and Xu Fang looked at each other.

It's just like the legend of Night Moon Lake.

The soldiers under the moonlight poured their deepest fears into the stones and threw them into the dark Night Moon Lake.

The guardian spirit in the lake devoured their fear, and the soldiers, free from fear, were invincible on the battlefield.

The three Russians, and even the boneless fish in the lake, were all so "brave and fearless".

However, without the fear of death, all that remains is destruction and killing.

"How come you're alright?" Leonid looked at Xu Fang in surprise.

Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Shaoxu were unaffected, which he could understand, since both of them relied on their mental strength for a living.

Whether Lingling was affected or not is irrelevant; she has no fighting ability and is not even as good as those three barking sled dogs.

—Can you let me go?

We're all elemental mages, so why are you so special?

Before Xu Fang could speak, Jiang Shaoxu puffed out his chest with considerable pride.

It took me a whole year to cultivate his mental strength!

Although Xu Fang's mental strength was not as good as hers, it was still at the level of an ordinary high-level mage. As long as he was on guard, nothing happened.

Having experienced this ordeal, everyone dared not be negligent and quickly crossed the lake.

Boneless fish that have lost their minds are not difficult to deal with. With just a little provocation, they will fight each other and bite each other, and then be taken away by a wave of destructive magic.

······

This large lake is just the beginning; the road ahead will become increasingly difficult.

Every demon that appears, whether it is solitary or in a group, is so violent that it doesn't even bother with a test before charging in and attacking.
