I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 40, Dealing with Wang Lei

"Tsk, didn't expect that, did you? My Heavenly Thunder has a built-in evil-slaying effect!"

Jiang Shang stood there, showing off to the undead with claws that had been blasted into nothing but charred ashes.

After saying that, seeing that Xu Ting and the other three were standing not far away, he ran over to join them.

Xu Ting looked at the skeleton that had turned into a pile of ashes and was on the verge of tears. He was just about to cast a spell when his head was stolen.

"Where did the captain and the others go?"

Jiang Shang walked over and looked at the four people in front of him who were stunned, and asked them a question.

Upon hearing Jiang Shang's words, the group snapped out of their daze as if waking from a dream; the scene they had just witnessed was far too shocking!

A fist the size of a car instantly killed the demon! And then casually killed the one in front of him?

Don't think I've never seen lightning magic before!

There is no such magic in the lightning element!

"What kind of magic was that?! I don't remember there being any intermediate lightning magic like that, which looks like a fist!" Xu Ting seemed to have missed the point in Jiang Shang's words and asked him in return.

"Talent effect," Jiang Shang replied helplessly.

Upon hearing Jiang Shang's answer, Xu Ting froze on the spot, muttering to himself, "That's right, only talent can produce such an effect. But why was he able to reach the intermediate mage level so quickly? Why..."

The whole style of the character suddenly turned dark, and he was squatting on the ground drawing circles.

Doihara laughed from the side, "Haha, this guy has been provoked by you. Don't worry about him for now, he'll recover on his own. I know which way the captain and the others went, come with me."

As he spoke, Doihara pointed in a direction.

Ignoring Xu Ting, who was still muttering to himself, the group strode toward the direction that Tu Tu Fei Yuan was pointing.

'Wind Track'

Ah Feng activated his wind magic, laying out a track that led directly outside the construction site.

The invisible wind meanders across the ground, its trajectory marked by swirling dust.

Jiang Shang and the other three stepped onto the fast passage formed by the wind tracks and headed directly in the direction where the fifth captain had left.

………………

Not far from the construction site, they soon came across the three people facing off.

Just then, the captain used a Fire Bone Burn to eliminate the skeleton soldier in front of him.

The blazing firelight illuminated the faces of the three people on the field. A touch of color appeared on Wang Lei's pale face, while Mu Bei stared at Wang Lei calmly.

The captain also retracted his right hand, which he had swung out, and stared at Wang Lei menacingly.

Hearing a sound behind him, the captain turned around and looked.

Upon discovering that it was Jiang Shang and his group arriving, a smile appeared on the captain's weathered face.

Then he said to Wang Lei, "Stop resisting. We've already dealt with all your undead."

The ice vines that Mu Bei was conjuring at this moment were also marked, seemingly indicating that he was prepared to freeze Wang Lei if he disagreed.

Wang Lei responded just as decisively: "Trying to catch me? Impossible!"

"If it weren't for some bastard who destroyed the Blood Chain Demon Tree I had previously cultivated, I would have already advanced to an intermediate mage."

After saying that, he drew a scarlet star trail in front of him, seemingly preparing to summon another undead.

Jiang Shang, who was on his way, saw the scene before him and instantly connected with his own star orbit.

Jiang Shang's basic magic is already capable of creating a star trail in an instant, while Wang Lei's basic magic obviously still needs to take a second to depict.

Jiang Shang, who drew the star trails later, was faster than Wang Lei.

[Imperial Edict - Illness]!

Jiang Shang, his body crackling with lightning, strode toward Wang Lei.

Swoosh~~

A bolt of lightning traveled nearly 50 meters across the distance, reaching right next to Wang Lei.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Shang kicked Wang Lei in the chest, sending him flying nearly 5 meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

Looking at Wang Lei, who was unable to get up after his kick, Jiang Shang felt neither sorrow nor joy. After all, if he couldn't easily deal with a mage like Wang Lei with his current strength, he might as well just jump off a building and commit suicide.

"Well done, Gendo!" the captain said as he walked over.

Then he squatted down, looked at Wang Lei who had been knocked to the ground, his face flashing with anger, and kicked him hard.

"team leader!!"

"Captain! Don't be impulsive!"

Xiaoyi and Doihara, who were standing nearby, hurriedly pulled the fifth captain back from attacking.

However, they were no match for their strength and couldn't hold onto the captain's body. Wang Lei ended up getting kicked by the captain several times.

"You beast! Just for the sake of your own dead souls, you have harmed so many innocent ordinary people!"

"We initially thought this place was a demonic disturbance, but we never imagined it was you who was killing ordinary people and raising your own undead spirits!" The captain stopped kicking the man, but continued to curse.

Necromancers belong to the category of dark magic. In ancient times, many necromancers would kill ordinary people to cultivate their own undead demons, or sacrifice ordinary people to please the lords of the undead in ancient capitals.

Even the Black Death and other widespread plagues in history have been hinted at by necromancers.

Even though necromancy was a magic system created by the ancient king, it is still classified as dark magic because most necromancers leave behind harmful influences after their death.

This is one of the reasons why there are so few undead systems in China today.

After Jiang Shang and the others tied up Wang Lei, the captain looked around and realized that one person was missing.

"Where's Xu Ting? I haven't seen him anywhere."

"Captain, Xu Ting has been provoked by Xuan Du and is currently questioning his existence at the mall."

The captain laughed after hearing this, and exclaimed that finally someone could control him.

Because Xu Ting is a lightning mage, it's always been difficult for me to control him. Now that he's been hit hard by Xuan Du, it's a good thing, because this way he can cultivate in a down-to-earth manner.

"Speaking of which, Xuandu, when did you break through to become an intermediate mage?" the captain asked with a puzzled look.

Everyone listened intently upon hearing this.

Because they were also eager to know when Jiang Shang broke through.

"I broke through around January of this year. The fact that I can unleash magic today is entirely thanks to the Star Chart Book given to me by an elder. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do anything to the Clawed Ghost Corpse," Jiang Shang said with a smile, trying to fool him.

"After you break through, will you leave Cloud City?"

"Yes, Cloud City is still too small. I need to go out and seek higher magical mysteries!"

Listening to Jiang Shang's ambitious declaration, the fifth captain looked closely at Jiang Shang's somewhat immature face compared to his own and suddenly smiled.

"Haha, keep it up, Xuan Du. I hope to hear your name resound throughout the land someday. That way, we'll have something to brag about to others," the captain teased.

"Of course, I definitely won't let you down."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind swept in from afar.

"Sorry I'm late," a middle-aged man in a black trench coat said, standing on an old house that hadn't yet been demolished.

It was obvious that the person standing there was Ke Rong, a mid-level mage from the Magic Association.

Ke Rong also glanced with lingering fear at the bustling commercial street just a few buildings under renovation. From there, he could even see people still shopping, completely unaware of the danger.

If Wang Lei were to escape and advance to the intermediate-level mage, given his dark nature, countless people would suffer.

It's important to understand that a single general-level demon requires at least a mid-level mage squad to handle. If a human with magic is added to the mix, Cloud City will suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Ke Rong jumped down from the roof and came to Jiang Shang and the others, asking, "Are you all alright? The message said there was an advanced-stage undead here. Where is it?"

"It's been taken care of. This is the culprit, the wanted necromancer Wang Lei. We've already captured him." As he spoke, the captain pointed to Wang Lei, who was tied up with makeshift ropes on the construction site.

"Really?" Ke Rong asked incredulously.

Given the strength of the demon-hunting team, dealing with an advanced-stage demon is extremely difficult. If they make a mistake and the demon advances, everyone will be finished.

"Really?" the captain said with a faint smile.
