Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

Chapter 78 The Bloody Path to Safety

"Everyone, line up by class! Water and Earth mages on the perimeter, and Wind mages in the center for support!" Chen Weiliang began to fulfill his duties as the dean of students, loudly organizing discipline.

The massive procession emerged from the "safe" school gates and began to move slowly. The footsteps of over two thousand people created a chaotic sound on the flooded pavement. Panic and a sense of oppression spread through the crowd.

The main road outside Tianlan Magic High School has been reduced to ruins. Overturned cars are engulfed in flames, and mangled bodies are scattered in the green belt.

The vanguard team led the way. Zhang Xiaohou used wind-tracking devices to weave between the buildings on both sides of the street, acting as a scout. Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting walked in the middle of the group, their lightning magic ready to be unleashed at their fingertips.

Wang Yu was at the forefront of the main group, about 500 meters away from the vanguard team. His Wind Domain was fully activated, and any fluctuations in the surrounding airflow were clearly perceived by him.

"There's some noise in the convenience store to the left front." Wang Yu's voice was accurately transmitted to Mo Fan's ears through wind magic.

Mo Fan's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to unleash a lightning seal. Purple arcs of electricity tore through the air, striking precisely into the shattered glass of the convenience store.

"squeak--"

A giant-eyed gorilla rolled out from behind the shelf with a scream. Its body was charred black. It twitched a couple of times and then fell silent.

"Well done." Wang Yu didn't offer any further praise.

The large group continued its advance. The scent of two thousand people could not be masked by the rain. Wang Yu's brows furrowed. He sensed that the demons in the surrounding streets and alleys were being drawn by this massive human presence and were rapidly converging.

"Flanking! That unfinished building on the right!" Wang Yu suddenly shouted.

Before the words were even finished, the exterior wall of the three-story unfinished building on the right suddenly collapsed. A dozen one-eyed demon wolves, stepping on the broken bricks, pounced down on the middle of the group from their elevated position.

That was the location for the regular classes; most people there, under the threat of demons, couldn't even connect the star trails completely.

Seeing the demon with its gaping maw above its head, the students screamed in despair, and several girls closed their eyes in terror.

A burst of blue light flashed beneath Wang Yu's feet.

His body transformed into a blurry blue afterimage, traversing dozens of meters in the nick of time, and appeared directly beneath the unfinished building.

"Earth Wave - Slow!"

The brown star map flashed by in an instant. The ground beneath the unfinished building instantly turned into a viscous swamp. The one-eyed demon wolves, pouncing in mid-air, lost their footing upon landing and collapsed into the swamp.

"Water Blade!"

Wang Yu made a grasping motion with his left hand, and the water on the ground instantly surged up, transforming into more than a dozen extremely sharp, high-pressure water blades. With the blessing of the top-grade spirit seed "Quiet Abode," these water blades carried a bone-chilling coldness, precisely slicing through the necks of the fallen demon wolves.

Blood gushed out, staining the entire swamp red.

From the moment the demons pounced to their complete annihilation, the entire process took less than three seconds. The students in the middle of the group didn't even have time to see what happened before the crisis was averted.

Wang Yu stood amidst a pile of wolf carcasses, turned his head, and coldly swept his gaze over the stunned novice mages on the outer perimeter of the group.

"Is your magic just for show? Anyone who doesn't want to die, grab the Star Orbiter!"

The group fell silent again, save for heavy breathing. The look in everyone's eyes as they looked at Wang Yu had shifted from shock to pure awe.

Just then, the vanguard squad ahead suddenly stopped.

Zhang Xiaohou jumped down from a lamppost, his face pale, and ran to Mo Fan's side, pointing to a crossroads ahead.

In the middle of the intersection, a heavy truck lay across the road. A huge tear had been ripped open in the truck bed, and an enormous, blood-striped giant rat was perched on it, gnawing on something. Around it, at least fifty giant-eyed gorilla rats swarmed.

The road was completely blocked.

"Warrior-level... Blood-patterned Troll Rat." Xue Musheng swallowed hard, his hand holding the wand trembling slightly.

The vanguard squad members all held their breath. Fifty servant-level minions plus one warrior-level unit—that power was enough to tear the nine of them to shreds in an instant.

Wang Yu strode in from behind. He glanced at the situation at the intersection, his expression unchanged.

"The vanguard team retreats fifty meters and rejoins the main team's defensive line. Earth mages, reinforce the walls of the buildings on both sides to prevent demons from launching a surprise attack from the flanks," Wang Yu issued the orders methodically.

"Wang Yu, you're going to take them all on by yourself?" Mo Fan grabbed Wang Yu's arm. "Those are Warrior-level!"

"You can't handle this." Wang Yu brushed Mo Fan's hand away, his fingertips already flickering with cyan wind elements. "Hold the formation, leave the rest to me."

He walked alone towards the crossroads occupied by demons, not forgetting to turn back and say to Mo Fan, "Keep an eye on Fan, when you reach the intermediate level, see if you have a buddy like Niu Boyi."

The Bloodstriped Troll Rat stopped eating. Its beady eyes locked onto Wang Yu as he approached. The vein-like markings on its back began to glow with a dark red light, and a nauseating stench wafted over.

"squeak--!"

With a sharp shriek from the warrior-level demon, a large swarm of giant-eyed ape rats surged towards Wang Yu along the street like a black tide.

Wang Yu stopped in his tracks. In his spiritual world, the four nebulae of wind, water, fire, and earth began to operate simultaneously.

He held his hands out to the sides.

On the left, a deep blue water-based star map rapidly took shape.

On the right, a brown Saturnian star map follows closely behind.

"Multitasking..." Xue Musheng, watching from behind, nearly popped his eyes out. To simultaneously draw star maps of two different systems—what terrifying mental control that required!

In fact, Wang Yu hadn't even mastered multitasking, let alone multitasking, but he used a clever trick. After drawing the first star map, he used a portion of his mental energy to maintain the unreleased spell while simultaneously drawing the second spell. This required a certain level of mental strength from the mage, but it compressed the first two spells into almost simultaneous moments, making it a rather useful little technique.

In the blink of an eye, as Wang Yu released Earth Wave: Collapse, the street a hundred meters in front of the intersection instantly collapsed, forming a huge crater. The more than twenty giant-eyed ape rats at the front fell directly into it, trampling each other and letting out mournful screams.

"Turbulent Waves, Flood Roll!"

Wang Yu thrust his left hand forward with a sudden burst of power. A deep, dark current appeared out of thin air, transforming into a raging torrent that poured directly into the pit. Due to the characteristics of the "Quiet" spirit seed, this current was incredibly heavy, instantly crushing and submerging all the ape-like rats inside the pit.

Upon seeing this, the remaining giant-eyed gorillas immediately scattered, attempting to climb over the walls of the building on both sides to flank Wang Yu.

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat also moved. Its massive body, like a heavy tank, smashed through the trucks blocking its path, trampling over the corpses of its kind, and charged towards Wang Yu.

Wang Yu did not back down. He clenched his right hand tightly, and the fire star map flashed in his palm.

"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

He threw a punch, and a massive fireball instantly engulfed the Blood-Striped Troll Rat's enormous body. The intense heat evaporated all the surrounding rainwater, creating a vacuum. Such formidable fire power filled Mo Fan with envy.

The Blood-Striped Troll Rat let out a painful roar as it charged out of the flames, its fur charred black, the blood stripes on its back bursting open and spitting out black, foul blood. It had fallen into complete rage, opening its massive maw filled with fangs and aiming straight for Wang Yu's throat.

"Too slow."

A flash of blue light appeared beneath Wang Yu's feet as he activated Wind Track Flash Step. His body left an afterimage in place, and his true form appeared to the side of the Blood-Patterned Troll Rat.

With his right hand clenched loosely, the cyan wind element was compressed wildly in his palm, transforming into a high-speed spinning wind blade two meters long.

"die."

Wang Yu swung his arm, and the wind blade brought a sharp sonic boom, precisely cutting into the wound on the Blood-Patterned Troll Rat's neck that had been scorched by the Fierce Fist.

A crisp cracking sound rang out. A huge rat head shot into the sky, and a jet of blood several meters high gushed from its headless cavity.

The general-level demon was instantly killed once again.

The giant-eyed ape-rats that were poised to pounce on the walls froze. They stared at their leader's corpse, a flicker of fear in their eyes, before scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Wang Yu did not pursue. He took a deep breath, calming the surging magical energy within him. Even he felt a trace of fatigue from the continuous high-intensity spellcasting.

Xue Musheng, who had been observing from behind for a long time, stammered forward and cautiously asked, "Wang Yu, I was watching from behind just now, did you have four magic types?"

Wang Yu's previous secrecy was all to avoid being targeted by the Black Vatican and Lu Nian, but saving lives is the priority, so let it be. Anyway, Lu Nian is essentially a weakling; just be careful. As for the Black Vatican, they'll have to deal with them eventually; it's a piece of cake.

He nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement, but he didn't explain further.
