I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 31, First Mission

Summer weather is unpredictable; one day it may be sunny and breezy, the next day it could be overcast. This is especially true in Yuncheng, located in the southern part of the country, where the Canglei Mountain next to the city has added to the recent days of continuous rain.

"Hey, Xuandu, the demon-hunting team has a mission. Go to the Shuiyun Swimming Pool west of Yuncheng." The magnetic voice of the fifth captain came through the phone.

"it is good"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shang went out and headed towards the Shuiyun Swimming Pool.

Shuiyun Swimming Pool is a high-end swimming pool located on the west side of Yuncheng. It not only has a luxurious and tall swimming pool, but also provides services such as dining and massage.

The entire swimming pool was built in a magnificent style, but it was filled with the stench of copper coins.

squeak~

Jiang Shang pushed open the swimming pool door with one hand, looking around and saw that the entire pool was empty except for the lucky cat on the counter that kept waving to welcome him.

It seems the manager here cleared the area out.

Once inside the swimming pool, all the team members were waiting for him by the pool.

Standing next to the captain was a man with slicked-back hair and wearing a trench coat, who looked like the Mu Bei he had mentioned a few days ago.

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Shang asked.

"I've already asked the manager, and he said that the swimming pool has been vibrating intermittently lately, and the water in the pool is constantly shaking. There's even a foul odor emanating from it. Our initial suspicion is that it's a giant-eyed rat!"

"Giant-eyed gorillas live in the soil and are experts at digging burrows. They prefer to live in places that are not accessible through the city's sewers. They can stretch their necks, and their eyes can release penetrating, blood-red dark beams of light... Like other rats, these creatures reproduce extremely quickly and have strong survival abilities. There are bound to be a few of them hiding in the soil of a city's underground passages and garbage dumps. They generally only eat human scraps and will only eat people when they are extremely hungry. They are cowardly yet ubiquitous demons!" The mage named Mu Bei suddenly said at this moment, as if he were giving a science lesson to a novice like Jiang Shang.

Giant-eyed gorilla? ?

It seems that the Demon Class specifically mentioned in a few lessons that they are experts in underground survival and digging tunnels, the Lanxiang Technical School of demons!

"Then we'll keep watch here tonight and see if it's this beast!" the captain said.

"Mu Bei, I'll leave it to you to guard this scene today. When the demon appears, only your ice magic can hold it off. Xiao Yi, you stay here too. Your defensive capabilities are indispensable."

"Um"

"Okay."

After giving instructions to the two men, the captain turned to look at the remaining Jiang Shang and the others.

"Xuan Du, go to the restaurant on the second floor and check if that demon is there."

"Yes"

At night, Jiang Shang sat in the northeast corner of the restaurant. This spot was not only against the wall but also served as a vantage point, preventing demons from coming out to eat. This avoided being attacked from both sides.

Shuiyun's restaurant is also very large, seemingly built specifically for the upper class, with upholstered chairs and panoramic chandeliers—it's luxurious!

"If a fight breaks out here, they probably won't have to pay compensation, right?"

The dark restaurant was illuminated only by the cool moonlight, with neatly arranged tables and chairs waiting for their prey to arrive.

bang bang bang~~

A sound came from the pool area.

Immediately afterwards, the pager on Jiang Shang's body, which was used by the demon-hunting team to summon people, went off.

"It was right there by the pool!"

With that, Jiang Shang immediately got up and strode towards the swimming pool.

As soon as he arrived at the pool, he saw a scarlet beam of light pierce through the wall, grazing Jiang Shang's body and hitting the wall behind him.

Cluck cluck!!

A piercing sound reached Jiang Shang's ears.

A creature with a neck as thick as a tree trunk that a person could hug was visible. The neck and head were indistinguishable; in general, the head consisted of only a basketball-sized eye and a huge mouth stuffed with rotten food, which lunged at Mu Bei, who was standing nearby, and tried to bite him.

Water Guardian!

Xiao Yi activated her magic from a distance away from the demon.

A stream of water materialized in the air around Mu Bei, flowing softly like a ribbon before him and quickly intertwining to form an arc-shaped water shield.

After the giant-eyed rat's fanged maw bit straight into the shield made of water ribbons, the entire water shield burst like a bubble. The terrifying kinetic energy attached to the demon also turned into countless water droplets as the water defense skill dissipated, scattering at Mu Bei's feet.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shang immediately unleashed his magic.

With a flick of his right hand, crackling lightning coalesced in his palm, and rolling lightning continuously condensed into purple lightning marks above his head.

Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy!

With a wave of his hand, all the lightning bolts instantly transformed into long whips of lightning, lashing wildly at the giant-eyed rat before him, tearing its skin and flesh apart.

Each time the lightning whip struck, a follow-up arc of electricity would drill into the giant-eyed rat's body, penetrating its muscles and bones, leaving lightning marks on its body, and constantly shocking the giant-eyed rat's muscles.

Cluck cluck!!!

The giant-eyed rat, struck by Jiang Shang's lightning seal, could only twitch on the pool floor, unable to move an inch. This kind of demon might be able to withstand the fire and ice vines with its powerful muscles, but it was absolutely unable to resist the paralyzing effect of lightning.

"here you go!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind him.

Jiang Shang looked back and saw the Fifth Captain and Doihara rushing towards them. The two of them seemed to be walking on a speeding-up moving walkway, their bodies sliding horizontally along the ground without taking any steps.

Ground wave!

Such skillful use of ground waves was clearly Doihara's doing. He and the captain were in charge of the accommodation area, which was far from the pool, so they must have rushed over as soon as they heard the pager.

"Sizzle - Burst"

The fifth captain held a ball of fire that shone with a crimson light in his hand. He had begun to depict it when he saw the giant-eyed rat being held captive by the lightning seal at the edge of the pool, unable to move.

The small ball of fire flew less than ten meters and landed on the giant-eyed rat. Then, with a loud bang, a powerful blast wave swept through the entire swimming pool, even sending the water in the pool flying more than two meters high.

Once the water curtain and flames had completely subsided, the giant-eyed rat lay motionless in the pool, which was now less than half full. Its enormous body had been blown to pieces, and the pool was stained crimson with blood.

"Xuan Du, thank goodness for your Thunder Seal, otherwise this beast might have run away as soon as it saw us, and then all our efforts would have been in vain." The captain walked up to Jiang Shang and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Yes, thanks to you. I didn't expect you to be so young and not afraid of demons at all. Your release speed will also be very fast."

"We thought we'd have to guide you for a while," Doihara laughed, clearly very happy to have killed the demon.

新年 快乐
