Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Chapter 32 Lopez Awakens

……

The wilderness training concluded successfully. Thanks to Lü Cheng's reasoned arguments, the students who were injured by the rampaging Shadow Wolf Beasts received varying degrees of compensation, ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand yuan. For these children from ordinary families, this compensation was a considerable sum.

Of course, these compensations were borne by Zhan Kong personally, since he was the person in charge of this training and the one primarily responsible. If anything went wrong, he would naturally be held accountable.

For a high-level mage, a compensation of over a million is not much, but being pressured by a student really made Zhan Kong lose face.

"You were even more impulsive than Mo Fan was before," Tang Yue said helplessly.

It's really not worth getting into a conflict with a high-level mage over such a paltry amount of compensation.

"Do you think he'd hold a grudge against me over something so trivial?" Lu Cheng countered.

"I'm not sure if he'll hold a grudge against you, but he definitely remembers you," Tang Yue said.

“I think so too.” Lü Cheng nodded.

Tang Yue's eye twitched slightly. "Why?"

Lu Cheng never acts on emotion; in fact, he often takes a very deliberate and methodical approach.

"Do you think that the ghost wolf beast really went out of control by accident?" Lu Cheng asked.

Tang Yue was taken aback. "You mean..."

“I didn’t say anything,” Lü Cheng shrugged.

Just a heads-up, there's more than just Ye Chang in the Black Vatican of Bo City now. There's also Wu Ku, the Rain, a super-level water elementalist and a victim. Scheming against him is child's play for them.

Even in front of Ye Chang, the Black Beast Demon could smear it on his face. What about when Ye Chang wasn't around?

He had originally planned to target Ye Chang directly to prevent the bloodshed in Bo City. After all, he had grown up in this city, and it would be somewhat unethical for him to run away alone. But now it seems that he may have overestimated his importance in Ye Chang's eyes.

Perhaps Ye Chang only saw him as a fun toy.

It's impossible to stop it at the root, and he won't risk his life to confront Ye Chang.

Therefore, we can only use a safer alternative.

One is Tang Yue, who has a background in the Tribunal, and the other is Zhan Kong, who has a background in the military.

He had almost won Tang Yue's trust, and he had also roughly figured out Zhan Kong's temperament.

When the time is right, subtly provide these two with some information.

Having done this much, he has a clear conscience.

……

Back home, Lü Cheng went to the basement and took out the Lope statue that he had prepared beforehand.

The energy of the Rat Talisman has accumulated enough; we can try to activate Lope now.

“I must remind you, you now possess demonic energy, and Lope is a Saint,” the Holy Lord said.

Saint Seiya are the group of people most favored by righteous magic, apart from the descendants of immortal gods; their magical power is almost limitless.

Lope's spells and his talismanic powers are essentially special kinds of magic, and since they are magic, they naturally require energy.

He is the most powerful demon wizard, and his soul can freely travel between the realms of Yin and Yang, so his demonic energy is inexhaustible, as is the energy of his talismans.

The power of other demons needs to be replenished from the source of their magic.

When Ximu stood in the sky, his energy was inexhaustible; when Zhoulan approached the moon, his energy was also inexhaustible.

Basha needs the ocean, Xiaofeng needs air currents, Zhongsu needs lightning, Dikui needs the earth, and Bogang needs a large amount of devouring.

Once they lose or are far from the source of these magical powers, the demons' power gradually weakens. Therefore, during the years they were trapped in hell, the demons' power weakened drastically.

Similarly, the spells that restrain him can only be activated based on the righteous magic left behind by the Eight Immortals in the human world. As the righteous magic endures, so too can the spells that restrain him endure!

There is no righteous magic in this world. Even if Lope is resurrected, his strength will be greatly reduced. Those damned spells pose no threat to him!

After such a long delay, his curse is about to be completed!

Even if Lopez were to be resurrected, it wouldn't stop it!

"Why do I feel a chill?" Lu Cheng asked with a strange expression.

"You're not planning some scheme against me again, are you?"

"How could that be? I'm under your control right now. Even if I had some ulterior motives, you could send me back to hell anytime," the Holy Lord said seriously.

"Really?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

The Pure Yang Sword actually has another special function: it allows him to sense changes within himself. This thing is a true firewall!

It can not only prevent viruses from invading, but also detect what's sneaking in.

The Holy Lord had tampered with him, and his body was already showing some strange changes.

However, for him, these changes were all acceptable. The Holy Lord attributed all of these changes to the influence of the fire demon energy, so he did not expose them.

After all, it's no use exposing them; if they don't admit it, what can he do?

What else can he do besides threatening to send Shendu back to hell?

The Holy Lord has now roughly figured out his character. He is not a good person, but he is not utterly wicked either. He will not actively persecute others, nor will he sacrifice himself to benefit others.

This world is dangerous, and he will not give up this power right in front of him, the power of the devil.

"Of course." The Holy Lord looked sad and pitiful.

"I am your teacher. I have done my best for you during this time. I only hope that you can give me more freedom in the future."

I believe you!

Lu Cheng thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

The Holy Lord had no idea what abilities he possessed, whether it was his innate lie-detection ability or the monitoring function of the Pure Yang Sword.

Up to now, most of what the Holy Lord has told him has been a mixture of truth and falsehood!

Whether it's the Yin-Yang balance contract or the situation with the talisman, the Holy Lord is lying!

The power of the twelve talismans is essentially magic. Since it is magic, there is naturally no question of which one hatches first!

It's just a matter of mana consumption at most.

After all, magic requires energy, and the twelve talismans must also require energy.

But why does it take so long to use the power of the Rat Talisman?

Not activated?

He actually believed it before!

But after this period of probing, he was certain that the Holy Lord was lying!

This old man has been on guard against Lopez's resurrection ever since he left hell!

The restrictions imposed by the talisman are false!

"Let's begin." Lü Cheng took the Pure Yang Sword from his chest and placed it on the statue of Lope. The Holy Lord also came to Lü Cheng.

The two forces combined, and a glowing rat appeared in Lü Cheng's pupils.

"Lope, it's time to wake up."

As the magic of the Rat Talisman, which transforms stillness into movement, was activated, Lü Cheng felt most of the energy in his body being drained away, and the Pure Yang Sword began to tremble.

The next instant, starting from the part that Lü Cheng touched with his right hand, the stone statue began to soften, as if it had come to life.

"Am I...resurrected again?"

Upon waking up again, Lope felt the Rat Talisman magic within him, but it was very weak and could not sustain him for long.

"demon?!"

Upon regaining his senses, Lope immediately noticed the demonic energy emanating from Lü Cheng. However, before he could even make a move, he sensed another aura emanating from Lü Cheng.

"Don't rush to take action, I can explain this," Lu Cheng said quickly.

Even the Holy Lord fell to this Saint Seiya, so he doesn't think he's a match for Lope.

"You're a Saint Seiya?" Lope felt a little confused.

How could Saint Seiya have the aura of a demon on him?

Still so intense?

"What Saint Seiya?" Lu Cheng asked in his mind.

Isn't he a descendant of an immortal god?

"Most Saint Seiya are powerful human mages protected by the aura of immortal gods, similar to you, a descendant of immortal gods. In nature, you are the same kind of people. However, you are more favored by righteous magic than the Saint Seiya," the Holy Lord explained.

Those chosen by the immortal gods receive the favor of righteous magic; these people are often called Saints. In game terms, they have a permanent buff that they receive at the start of the game.

The descendants of immortal gods have stronger buffs and greater control over righteous magic. In some cases, they can even have administrative authority!

Just like his son, the Demon Dragon, who can perfectly absorb and control the residual demonic energy of other demons.

Under certain conditions, Lü Cheng could even obtain the true power of those immortal gods in a short period of time!
