Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

"What kind of demon is this?! It's so ugly!" Zhang Chen wondered.

The full explanation he had read didn't go into detail about the Black Vatican's creation, the Black Beast Demon, so naturally he didn't know.

The enormous black beast in the middle vanished from Zhang Chen and his companions' sight in an instant, while the smaller black beasts squeaked and charged toward them with their sharp claws raised.

Zhang Chen could sense that this demon was very strong and dared not be careless. The moment it disappeared, a flash of moonlight appeared in his eyes and a transparent barrier appeared in front of the three of them.

Mind Control Barrier

The next second, the enormous black beast appeared before them, raising its huge and deformed claws and slamming them down.

The transparent barrier shattered in one blow, and at the same time it felt a light bump from a giant stake. It couldn't help but stagger back two steps, and when it regained its footing, its limbs and neck were bound by vines that stretched out from the ground.

Mind Control - Be Gone!

Vines grow!

Vines - Binding!

The stars in Zhang Chen's spiritual world obey him very well and can unleash a lot of magic in the blink of an eye.

Mo Fan knew that the difference between the three of them and the demon that suddenly appeared in front of him was huge. Seeing that the demon was bound and surrounded by lightning, a bolt of lightning as thick as a washbasin struck the demon in front of him as he swung his hand down.

Lightning Seal - Wrathful Strike

As lightning struck

The vines beneath the giant black beast demon's feet extended behind it, automatically binding any smaller black beast demons that rushed towards it.

They were just low-level servants, and it would undoubtedly take them a long time to break free from Zhang Chen's restraints. Whether Zhang Chen and his two companions could get out alive depended on whether they could kill or cripple the advanced-stage servant-level black beast demon in front of them within the allotted time.

Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!

Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!

……

Lightning magic has a built-in paralysis and stun effect. The huge black beast was paralyzed in place and unable to break free. However, until Mo Fan's lightning magic power was exhausted, the black beast's body was only slightly smoking.

"Mo Fan, hit its leg!..."

The moment the words left his mouth, the black beast roared, broke free of its restraints, and lashed out at Zhang Chen with its claws.

The giant black claw grew larger and larger in Zhang Chen's eyes, but he couldn't react at all.

"Wind Tracks, Drifting Shadows!"

At this critical moment, the little monkey rescued Zhang Chen from the black beast demon, then turned a corner, grabbed Mo Fan, and flew into the cave together.

However, even the fastest Wind Track at the initial level three could not outrun the Black Beast Demon, which was already adept at speed. In just ten seconds, it blocked their path, spread its arms, and swung them out heavily.

Fortunately, the little monkey had been mentally connected to the scythe-bone shield. The moment it appeared in front of them, it summoned the shield to block the incoming claws. Using the momentum, it swerved around the shield and continued to speed deeper into the cave. At the same time, Zhang Chen gave it a retreat to buy time. The scythe-bone shield surrounded the three of them to defend against any attacks that might come at any moment.

After many trials and tribulations, the three of them finally reached the depths, where stalactites hung from the ceiling. They prepared to use the same methods they had used against the demon wolf to deal with it.

The black demon caught up once more, seemingly tired of the game, and lunged at the already tattered scythe shield with all its might.

With a crack, the scythe-bone shield shattered, and at the same time, Zhang Chen used a retreating technique.

It thought it would be the same as before, and after standing firm, it would lift its leg and try to pounce on Zhang Chen and the other two. However, it found that its legs were bound to the ground. Just as it tried to break free, an explosion came from above its head.

The stalactite cascaded down and pierced the black beast demon. Even though it had broken free of its restraints, it had no time to dodge.

Smoke rose

"Is it... dead?" the little monkey asked, still shaken.

Zhang Chen pulled Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou to stand at a distance and wait for the smoke to dissipate.

Seeing that the black beast's entire lower body and one arm were nailed down, it lay there motionless.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Just to be on the safe side, Zhang Chen said, "Mo Fan, throw a Fireball or Burn it over there and see if it's really dead!"

Mo Fan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered Zhang Chen's invisibility magic and became curious. He casually tossed over a fireball: "Commander, what is that invisibility magic of yours?! When did you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the previously motionless black beast suddenly became agitated, using its free hand to disperse the flames and then bracing itself against the ground in an attempt to break free from the stalactites.

Seeing the swaying stalactites on its body, Zhang Chen decisively added two more vine-binding spells and said, "Little monkey, take us away!"

Zhang Chen didn't even consider killing it. Mo Fan had exhausted his lightning magic energy, so hitting it was like tickling it; it couldn't even break through its defenses, so what was the point?

……

When Zhang Xiaohou led the two of them back to the cave entrance, they stopped.

The cave entrance had been blocked by the little servant-level black beast demons that had broken free of their restraints. Zhang Chen used his remaining space-type magic energy and plant-type magic energy to release several transparent giant claws and vines, gathering the group of black beast demons together.

After a year of adjustment, Mo Fan unleashed a Fire Burst the moment the Black Beasts gathered together. A burst of fire exploded in the center of the Black Beasts, sending them flying and rolling on the ground. Some of those hit hard were even rendered motionless.

The last few black beasts outside also broke free of their restraints and immediately rushed over to plug the gap.

"Damn it, this is disgusting! I'll send you to the Western Paradise!" Mo Fan became anxious when he saw several more black beast demons blocking the cave entrance.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chen was extremely anxious and quickly thought of a solution, looking at the black beast demon lying motionless.

"I have to take a gamble. The seeds need to work their magic! I haven't been able to use them for three years!"

He took out the seed and began absorbing the flesh and blood of the dead black demon.

Just as it absorbed the fifth black beast demon, an angry roar came from the depths of the cave.

With four servant-level black beast demons blocking their way in front and an advanced-stage black beast demon about to arrive from behind, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three of them simultaneously.

"Hurry up! Give it your all, seed!"

Just after absorbing the seventh black beast demon, the seed finally responded with a cracking sound, and a blood-red bud sprouted from it.

He suddenly understood, and patted the seed against his forehead, merging it with himself.

Instantly, a blood-red light with a flame-like texture spread from his head to his entire body, and a blood-red tree mark appeared between his eyebrows, transforming him into a spirit-like state.

The green tree pattern on his left arm transformed into a long spear with a dragon pattern that was both transparent and emerald green.

Zhang Chen's depleted magical energy seemed to be replenished by an endless ocean of magical energy.

"Holy crap! How can you still unleash your power?!" Seeing Zhang Chen like this, Mo Fan suddenly felt that his little mudfish wasn't so appealing anymore.

For some reason, Zhang Chen suddenly felt an extreme loathing for the Black Demon.

He charged toward the remaining four black beasts blocking the cave entrance, spear in hand. When he was about five meters away from them, he thrust out his spear, the tip piercing through layers of space and pinning the four black beasts to the wall. In the blink of an eye, flesh and blood floated out and merged into the spear tip.

Zhang Chen picked up the spear, which emitted a red glow, and stroked its tip.

Sacred Tree Blessing

Then he hurled it fiercely at the advanced-stage Black Beast that had just run over.

The moment it was thrown, the spear transformed into a phantom, blood-red wooden dragon.

It was already somewhat slowed down by the stalactites, so it couldn't escape at all.

The crimson dragon head bit down hard and slammed it against the wall. It tried to break free but found it impossible, and its flesh and blood were being absorbed bit by bit.

It could only flutter about like a butterfly falling into the water, watching its body wither away little by little.
