Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

With a single teleport, Lü Cheng easily escaped the attack range.

While Lü Cheng was distracting them, Zhu Meng and the others quickly completed their own super-level spells and struck at the vital points of the Ghost Tyrant.

boom! ! !

The effect was outstanding; the Ghost Tyrant was severely injured.

"Roar!!!"

"It seems angry," Lü Cheng said innocently.

Even on this tense battlefield, everyone couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by Lü Cheng's cheeky remarks.

"It's badly injured. Let's finish it off in one fell swoop!" Zhu Meng gathered his remaining magical energy and once again activated the lightning-based binding magic, firmly controlling the enraged Ghost Tyrant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Xiao quickly forged the Light System Star Palace, and the dazzling golden star palace almost illuminated the entire ancient capital.

The Holy Light Demon-Slaying Sword, carrying terrifying destructive power, rapidly converged and stabbed down fiercely towards the head of the Ghost Tyrant.

"Roar!!!"

After letting out a final, furious roar filled with resentment, the Ghost Tyrant fell.

It shouldn't have lost so quickly, but it was insulted!

"This is probably the most pathetic death ever suffered by a necromancer lord." Du Xiao said wearily, his expression somewhat strange.

Even with the combined strength of several super-level mages, the Ghost Tyrant Little Monarch would have to pay a heavy price to barely defeat him.

However, Lü Cheng's extremely insulting attack methods repeatedly drew the attention of the Ghost Tyrant, greatly reducing their pressure.

Slapping a lord of the dead is something that, apart from those ancient emperors, probably only Lü Cheng has ever done.

120. Chapter 119 Sleeping for a Thousand Years

120.

……

After successfully defeating the Ghost Tyrant, Lü Cheng left the battlefield with the looted Monarch Essence and Undead Crystal.

He, a high-level mage, has already far exceeded his limits by dealing so much damage. If he continues to do so, that would be really strange.

Moreover, he has achieved his goal: he has shown his face as a senator, and he has obtained the essence of the tyrannical ghost. Now, it's time to rest.

inner city.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Lü Cheng stopped the recovery brought by the dog and horse, and made all the fire, space, and summoning star rivers appear to be in a withered state. In addition, after fighting the Ghost Tyrant for so long, he didn't have much mental magic energy left for defense.

Now, only one shadow-type galaxy remains.

Inside the hotel room.

"I wonder how much of a boost this thing will give me." Lu Cheng swallowed the Ghost Tyrant's essence that he had just acquired.

The spirit of the undead lord is even more powerful than that of an ordinary demon because of its heavy death aura. Moreover, in this land of the dead, even if the undead lord is successfully killed, its soul will quickly slip away. Unless there is a high-level necromancer present, it is impossible to capture the lord's spirit.

But he is a demon, and he has learned a lot of dark magic about souls from Daolong. Even a monarch-level spirit is just a baby in his hands.

Although he had already devoured the soul of a monarch, he could sense that it was far from enough, because he was not absorbing the whole thing, but only the purest part of the soul energy; otherwise, he would grow crooked.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Lü Cheng finally opened his eyes.

"It still doesn't feel like enough..."

Even though he has absorbed the essence of two monarchs, his soul is still at the commander level.

The soul of an ancient king-level being carries terrifying soul energy. If one's own power is insufficient, although one might not be devoured by that thing, it will certainly bring some troublesome negative effects.

"Daolong, what's going on?" Lu Cheng opened the dimensional summoning gate and pulled Daolong over.

"Why do I feel like my soul hasn't changed at all?"

"Nothing has changed?" Dao Long was taken aback and observed Lü Cheng's soul.

"Isn't this a normal growth process?"

"Normal?" Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

"In my current state, can I devour the soul of an Emperor-level being?"

"What kind of daydream are you having?" Dao Long looked at him like he was an idiot.

"..."

Lu Cheng's eye twitched, "Then what about before..."

"Did you misunderstand me?" Dao Long asked with a strange expression.

“What we said before was that you need to devour the monarch’s soul first to adapt to this change.”

"The change I'm referring to isn't that you can directly devour the soul of an emperor-level being. That thing is too dangerous. Your soul is still too weak, and you're not a pure demon yet, so you could be corrupted by it."

“The difference between souls at different levels is not just in quantity, but more importantly in quality. Devouring a monarch’s soul only increases your resistance to such a powerful soul, so that you won’t be affected by it, but it doesn’t mean you can swallow it whole.”

"So the Holy Lord and the others only managed to get you the soul of a legitimate monarch before. It's not that they couldn't get a higher-level one, but that's all you can consume."

"And in these past few months, haven't you noticed that the souls you've consumed have hardly been absorbed at all?"

Lu Cheng looked puzzled. "You mean I have indigestion?"

"More or less," Dao Long said with a hint of helplessness.

"You need to understand one thing: just because you can forcefully devour souls that are more powerful than you by relying on your higher-level soul doesn't mean you can absorb them directly. It takes time."

"Moreover, the reason you were able to directly devour the monarch's soul without being backfired is because the difference in your souls is not that great. But even the weakest emperor-level soul is not something a monarch can compete with. The difference is too great, not to mention that you are not even a monarch yet."

"Right now, too much soul energy is stuck in your body, which will slow down your absorption rate to prevent unclean parts from flowing in. You haven't forgotten again... how did you swallow so much again?"

Dao Long looked completely bewildered.

It hadn't even finished digesting the monarch's soul it had previously devoured, and now it had devoured a large amount of messy soul energy. Just now, it even devoured another monarch's soul.

“I…” Lu Cheng looked embarrassed.

"I just want to eat more so I can grow taller..."

"..." Daolong.

"I have to remind you again, if you accidentally overeat, you'll fall into a deep sleep."

"And it's one thing for you to eat, but to eat this much? Do you plan to sleep for decades?"

Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly. "Decades? That's an exaggeration?"

"Exaggerated?" Dao Long was speechless.

"What do you consider the growth of the soul? This is dangerous!"

"If you were to devour the next Emperor-level soul in your current state, you would sleep for at least a thousand years!"

"You... wait, such an important matter, the Holy Lord didn't tell you?"

“…” Lü Cheng.

"..." Daolong.

"You shouldn't have let your guard down around that old man."

Daolong shook his head.

"Although you and the Holy Lord are bound to suffer together, there are quite a few ways to satisfy his interests without harming you."

If Lü Cheng hadn't suddenly remembered to ask him this time, he would have been in a slumber of at least a thousand years.

This evolutionary form of sleep does not harm Lü Cheng; in fact, it serves as a protective mechanism. Therefore, the Saint Seiya will not awaken while Lü Cheng is asleep.

In other words, the Holy Lord can rule the human world alone for at least another thousand years!

He can do whatever he wants without worrying about the Saint Seiya suddenly appearing at any time.

Moreover, even if Lü Cheng awakens a thousand years later, he will be powerless against the Holy Lord.

Beat them up? And then what?

Life goes on as usual.

Sure enough, Lu Cheng, who was suppressing his righteous energy, had his mind completely focused on the Holy Lord.

"I suggest you stop suppressing yourself normally; you're really not thinking straight in this state," Dao Long said.

While suppressing righteous energy, Lü Cheng can perfectly control demonic energy, and can also freely manipulate dark energy through his connection with the Holy Lord, with almost no restrictions.

However, the drawbacks of this demonic state are also very obvious.

Arrogant! conceited! Disdainful of others!

Most importantly, he's not very bright!

If Lü Cheng were in his normal state, he would never have waited until this point to realize the abnormality.

“But if I don’t suppress it, my mind will get very confused,” Lu Cheng said.

He also knew the drawbacks of his current state. As a Saint Seiya, he needed to be clear about everything. In this state, he hardly thought, just did whatever made him happy, and he couldn't control himself at all.
