I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 37, The Necromancer

In the blink of an eye, winter in the south has passed. The winter wind did not take away a single blade of grass or tree in the south. These plants remain evergreen, untouched by wind and rain.

Jiang Shang was filled with emotion as he walked out of the school, realizing he was about to graduate once again.

Three years ago, I stepped into this school.

Three years later, I will walk out of this school again.

Now that the three-year period has passed, we cordially invite...!

cough!

Today, countless cars were parked at the gate of Tianshui Magic High School. Most of them were there to pick up their magic students and take them home. The school gave the students who were about to take the college entrance examination ten days to go home and study on their own in order to prepare for the upcoming magic college entrance examination.

In fact, he had been waiting for this day for almost half a year. Ever since he awakened as an intermediate mage, he had been looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I didn't awaken any new magic types.

Cloud City is just a small city, and the Cloud City Magic Association does not have any awakening stones that can be used to awaken specific types of magic.

These awakening stones are only available in second-tier cities and above, such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other ancient cities.

Therefore, Jiang Shang did not awaken the second magic system directly, but planned to go to Shanghai to awaken it after the college entrance examination.

Before the Magic College Entrance Examination, he had one more thing to do.

Last night, the fifth team leader sent a message saying that we should all meet at the demolition area in the west of the city tomorrow, because an earthquake had occurred.

Jiang Shang agreed without hesitation. As a mid-level mage, what was there to be afraid of?

In the past six months, he had been exuding an aura of dominance, and all 49 stars bowed down in reverence.

Now I can fully unleash the intermediate lightning magic – Thunderclap!

In addition to this, I also expanded the font of the level 4 magic - Thunder Script - by several characters.

……

Upon arriving at the demolition area, most of the streets had already been demolished, and the few remaining ones were marked with a large "Demolish" sign in white paint.

Dust filled the neighborhood, which had been severely demolished. There were temporary construction site fences everywhere, potholes everywhere, and many cranes and excavators remained on the site.

Workers were carrying out demolition and reconstruction work in this area, but workers kept disappearing without reason, and there were also frequent unexplained tremors at the construction site.

Normally, this vibration would be masked by the noise from work. But yesterday, when the site manager came to give a speech and hold a meeting to set the goals for the next phase of work...

A violent tremor interrupted his words.

Based on the events of the past few days and the disappearance of the workers, the manager immediately reported the matter to the city's monster-hunting team and offered a reward of 20.

20 is quite a lot, but the manager has really hit the jackpot by being able to invite a mid-level mage to carry out the bounty.

[Imperial Edict - Illness]

Looking at the ruins before him, Jiang Shang used a ripple to dash forward, crossing the temporary fence built around the construction site and arriving at the location described in the incident as the source of the tremors.

Withdrawing his magic and freeing himself from Flash mode, Jiang Shang pulled out a small bag.

He pinched off a small pinch of powder, blew on it gently, and it drifted into the air, slowly, slowly falling onto the construction site area.

The powder was scattered about ten meters away from Jiang Shang. These crystalline powders seemed to be stuck together, forming an outline on the dusty ground. The outline looked like... like a footprint.

"There really is a demon! But the shape of the footprints looks a bit like human footprints. Could it be a demon in human form?"

Jiang Shang squatted down and looked at the footprints in front of him, pondering. Suddenly, his enhanced senses detected that someone had come here.

Without making a sound, he secretly connected the stars into a star trail before looking at the direction of the approaching person.

After everyone had completely crossed over from outside the fence, they realized that it was the captain and members of the monster-hunting team, including Doihara.

"So, have you found anything?" the captain asked.

"It's just that the demon-hunting powder found a footprint, so we can't determine what kind of demon it is, but the footprint leads all the way to the building in front." Jiang Shang shook his head and pointed to a building under construction in front of him.

This building seems to have been intended to be a shopping mall. The floor area is very large, and it is filled with all sorts of cement bags, tools, and waste materials. The traces shown by the demon-hunting powder stopped at this unfinished shopping mall building. If there is something living inside, it must be hiding here and lording it over everyone!

"Really? Let's go take a look," said the fifth captain.

The demon-hunting team quickly arrived at the abandoned shopping mall. Jiang Shang casually pushed aside the iron pole blocking his way and looked up at his head.

He had just smelled a foul odor, a smell different from the normal smell of demons, like the nauseating smell of a long-dead corpse.

Looking around, there was nowhere to hide, so the only option was above his own head.

"Captain, look up," Jiang Shang pointed to the sky.

After hearing this, the captain put his finger to his lips and shushed him, signaling him to be quiet.

Then he gestured to the wind mage, A-Feng, to retreat.

"Wind Track - Express"

Ah Feng silently connected the wind-based star trails and deftly laid the track under everyone's feet.

The ventilation duct had just been laid when dust began to fall from the buildings above, as if something was rushing down from below.

"Run!" the captain shouted.

Jiang Shang and everyone else quickly left the unfinished shopping mall by riding on the wind tracks.

Roar~~~~~~！！！

At that moment, a huge roar came from the third floor of the mall where they had just come out.

Two figures, one large and one small, slowly emerged from the shadows inside the third-floor room.

The tall figure was an extremely thin, bluish-gray creature; its head almost touched the ceiling as it stood there.

Even more unbelievable is that his arms had grown past his knees, and his fingers were covered in sharp nails. One can imagine that being scratched by them would absolutely disembowel you!

"Undead creatures!!" the captain blurted out.

"Oh my, I must say you're quite the captain of the demon-hunting team. Even a guy from a small town knows about the undead. But why don't you call them demons, and instead say 'creatures'?" the dark figure on the third floor asked.

"Hmph, wanted criminal Wang Lei, don't play dumb with me, I know it's you!"

"Besides you, a necromancer who can summon undead creatures, there are no other undead demons in Cloud City," the captain sneered.

"Captain, what is the necromancy system?" Doihara asked inappropriately.

But before the captain could reply, Wang Lei, who was standing on the third floor, answered him: "It's really pathetic. The Necromancer system is a magic system created by our country's first emperor, the Ancient King, yet not many people in this great country cultivate it."

Let me tell you, the Necromancer school is just like the Summoning school. We can constantly summon undead creatures to fight for us, and these undead creatures can even continuously level up and evolve. Furthermore, the Stardust Artifacts you use are also made by us. It's practically a perfect magic system.”

As he spoke, Wang Lei's tone became almost like an aria.

"Therefore, do not use the stench, filth, and filthy 'goblin system' to describe this great undead system; that is blasphemy against the Ancient Kings!!!!"
