I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 38, Clawed Ghost Corpse

"Heh, then please have the goblin mage come down and come with us. Don't put up any futile resistance. You only have one novice mage, while our demon-hunting team has seven mages in total. You can't beat us." Mu Bei, who had been standing there without saying a word, immediately hit Wang Lei's sore spot with his first words.

"Say it again, don't call me a goblin!!"

Wang Lei roared as if he were insane, and even involuntarily took a few steps forward, leaving the shadows and stepping into the sunlight.

Only then could Jiang Shang clearly see his face amidst the swirling wisps of turbid air.

It was a pale, withered face, like that of a vampire who had never seen the sun.

As they were speaking, Wang Lei completed a spell.

It was a very simple magical star trail, but it exuded endless evil and bloodlust, as if a tomb had been torn open, and the stench of decay, carnivorousness, and darkness permeated the construction site.

Breath of the Dead!

The foul air spread throughout the construction site, allowing undead creatures to roam freely within the area.

The denser the aura of the dead, the more powerful the undead will be. Unlike most summoned creatures, in addition to their inherent combat power, if they can be provided with enough aura of the dead, undead like skeletons can even be resurrected.

"Clawed Corpse Demons, get them! Tear them to pieces!" Wang Lei said, pointing at Jiang Shang and the others standing downstairs.

Upon seeing the target Wang Lei pointed to, the Clawed Corpse jumped off the third floor and charged directly at them.

Standing at just over two meters tall, this guy was only average among servant-level demons, but his charging speed was as fast as a ghost.

A pair of sharp claws slashed across the cement ground of the construction site as it sprinted forward, carving deep furrows into the hard surface.

Upon seeing this, the demon-hunting team immediately dispersed, spread out their formation, and stood ready for battle.

"Ice Vines - Cover"

The cold-faced Mu Bei immediately unleashed a level three ice spell, and the continuously condensing ice surface completely covered all directions in which the clawed ghost corpse was advancing.

The coverage effect, spanning nearly 20 meters, completely enveloped the Clawed Demon Corpse.

The ice vines had a penetrating effect; the longer one stayed in an area covered by them, the stiffer their muscles and bones became. However, the ghostly corpse simply swung its hands, unleashing a gray claw-like beam that tore the ice vines to shreds. Even so, the clawed ghostly corpse's speed slowed down, losing the ghostly speed it had displayed when it first charged.

"Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy"

Xu Ting, who was standing nearby, also seized the opportunity to unleash lightning magic, striking the demon.

Rolling lightning marks gathered around Xu Ting. With a clench of his fist, all the lightning whip marks rushed towards the Claw Demon Corpse. These lightning whip marks lashed wildly at its body, each one leaving a thin trail of lightning that continuously conducted within the Claw Demon Corpse's body, yet it had no effect whatsoever.

Its body had long been transformed by the power of the undead, making it as hard as iron and completely immune to the paralyzing effect of lightning!

Roar~~~~!!

The Clawed Corpse roared.

An inexplicable aura emanated from him, sweeping across the entire battlefield. The endless waves of corpse energy crashed against everything around him, sending building materials flying. Even the lightning magic that struck him was dispersed by this corpse energy.

"Hahaha, don't waste your energy. Let me tell you, this is a necromancer I've carefully nurtured, about to advance in rank. Even level three magic can't easily defeat my corpse servant. Even if you call for help, it won't do you any good. The time it takes for a mid-level mage to arrive is enough for it to kill you all. Hahaha," he laughed, as if with the Clawed Corpse, victory was assured.

"What?! Advanced stage!" the captain exclaimed, his face grim.

Advanced-stage demons pose a significant danger to their team, as a single misstep could lead to their complete annihilation.

To some extent, the advanced servant-level demons have already acquired some of the demeanor of warrior-level demons, or rather, they have acquired some of the characteristics of warrior-level demons.

For example, the clawed ghost corpse in front of us, its claws and the skin all over its body can no longer be considered to be of the servant level.

Ice and lightning magic didn't do much damage to him; they were all blocked by his dark blue skin.

Fortunately, this undead was Wang Lei's summoned creature, and it couldn't break through if Wang Lei hadn't reached the intermediate level.

"Sizzle - Burst"

A ball of crimson fire, burning with rage, flew from the captain's hand, tracing a graceful arc as it approached the demon.

Flames exploded in front of the clawed demon corpse, and the fierce tongues of fire instantly engulfed the demon, turning the entire construction site red with flames.

The heatwave continued to engulf everything around them, and the ice vines that Mu Bei released were completely burned away by the raging flames, turning into puddles of water that flowed onto the ground.

"Hopefully, this power will cause it some damage," the captain thought to himself.

Boom!

A ghostly figure burst through the flames and charged towards them, its raised claws aimed directly at the captain who had just struck it.

[Imperial Edict - Illness]!

A character, like a flowing cloud in the sky and a swirling lightning bolt, flashed past Jiang Shang and disappeared into his body.

Then, streaks of brilliant white lightning continuously emerged from Jiang Shang's body, and the world slowed down at that moment.

The world is like a shy little girl lifting her skirt, revealing everything in its entirety.

Seeing the clawed demon corpse moving at the pace of an old woman, Jiang Shang strode over and led the captain and his teammates who were in its path of attack aside, avoiding the demon's claws.

Call ~

"Although I've reached the intermediate level of mage, the consumption of the 'Swiftness' command is truly terrifying. I can feel a lot of magic energy being consumed in just this short time," Jiang Shang thought to himself.

Once the target in front of it disappeared, the Clawed Corpse couldn't stop itself and rushed straight into a pile of steel behind Jiang Shang and the others.

Seeing the scene before them, the captain and the others also turned their shocked gazes to Jiang Shang.

"Xuan Du, what's going on?" the captain asked, puzzled.

Mu Bei and Xiao Yi also looked over with suspicion.

In their eyes, Jiang Shang was suddenly enveloped by a bolt of lightning, transforming into a bolt of lightning that rushed in front of them. In a flash, everyone found themselves in their current position.

"This is my talent!" Jiang Shang shut everyone in the demon-hunting team up with the word "talent."

Upon hearing this, everyone believed Jiang Shang's explanation, since talent is the most difficult thing to explain, and all sorts of strange talents exist.
