Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

"Netherworld Shield!"

Su Zhe felt himself being pulled back sharply, and a flash of silver light appeared in his peripheral vision.

"Bang!"

The next instant, Zhou Sining appeared before them, holding a diamond-shaped silver shield as tall as a person, and blocked the sudden attack of the blood-red demonic mass!

The crimson demonic mass exploded the moment it came into contact with the Netherworld Shield, and a pool of scarlet, viscous liquid quickly covered the entire shield.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"

Bubbles appeared on the surface of the Nether Shield; these viscous liquids were clearly corrosive.

Once subjected to a strong impact, the counterattack effect of the Nether Shield will be triggered.

Suddenly, a deep blue spike flew out from the silver diamond-shaped shield, gleaming with a cold light, and pierced into the pile of corpses!

The spirits they encountered along the way eventually remained upright, nailed to the cold earth.

"I just redeemed the Netherworld Shield!" Zhou Sining's heart was bleeding.

688's Dark Shield was attacked by a corrosive force as soon as it was used, and its only countermeasure was wasted because it had no clear target.

Nothing could be more infuriating than this.

Zhou Sining glanced down, but couldn't make out the ghost of the ambush general in the vast sea of ​​corpses.

He ignored the lurking spirit and turned to help Su Zhe, whom he had pulled away.

"Are you alright, Commander Su?" Deputy Commander Jiang Bowen rushed over upon hearing the news.

"It's alright. I owe it all to Zhou Sining this time, otherwise I would have lost my life," Su Zhe said, still shaken.

This is the real outer city wall battle line.

Unlike the safe environment specifically designed for students to hone their skills, here, even seasoned mid-level mages can be ambushed and killed by high-level undead at any time!

Su Zhe glanced at the crimson liquid on the shield, and his face immediately fell: "The guy who used poison is most likely an undead. Those guys aren't very big, so they're hard to find."

"Then what should we do? We're in the open while the enemy is in the shadows. If we don't take them out soon, the entire war zone will be in danger," Zhou Sining asked.

Su Zhe did not respond to him, but stood up and climbed onto the back of the Sky Eagle to continue directing the battle.

"A warrior's undead has appeared in the war zone, its location is uncertain. Everyone, retreat three steps and switch to defensive formation. Water mages and light mages, form groups of three and go to different teams to provide strong protection for the main force! I repeat, everyone switch to defensive formation! Everyone switch to defensive formation!!!"

The military mages acted very quickly. In just over ten seconds, Zhou Sining's fire mage squad retreated, changing from casting a spell every 10 seconds to every 20 seconds, in order to save mana while prioritizing safety.

In less than a minute, a defensive squad consisting of water mages and light mages arrived at the front of the formation.

They hold magic in their hands and remain on high alert so that they can provide the most timely defense when danger strikes.

As Su Zhe directed the entire war zone to change its combat mode, Jiang Bowen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie hanging around his neck.

"Second Front, Third War Zone of the East City Wall requests support! A warrior-like undead has appeared, capable of launching highly poisonous and corrosive attacks. It is extremely stealthy. Requesting support from mid-level mages! Requesting support from mid-level mages! To reiterate, a warrior-like undead has appeared. Requesting support from mid-level mages!!!"

The walkie-talkie crackled to life: "Received. All war zones are under attack by special generals. We are requesting support from the Magic Association, allocated according to urgency. They are expected to arrive on the battlefield in two hours. Hold out until the very end!"

"Damn it! Did we disturb that undead's lair tonight?! Why is everyone in such a hurry?! If we can't find that warrior undead, people could die at any moment!"

Jiang Bowen glared and cursed angrily, but there was no response from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Su Zhe returned to the city wall and, after learning the situation from Jiang Bowen, exclaimed in helplessness.

He could only honestly continue commanding the battlefield while searching for the treacherous undead spirit amidst the horde of zombies.

"Can't we apply to transfer high-level mages?" Zhou Sining asked Su Zhe when he had a chance.

The deputy commander next to Su Zhe sneered: "Studying kids are so naive. If there were even a tenth more high-level mages, we wouldn't need to recruit idle mages from society every year to help out."

"Most high-ranking mages hold important positions. If the situation has become so dire that they have to leave their posts and personally go to the battlefield, then we might already be dead," Su Zhe added.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sining nodded thoughtfully.

"If we had just one more mid-level mage in our war zone, we could have lured that guy out and killed him, instead of being in this passive situation," said Deputy Commander Jiang Bowen.

Su Zhe said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. The ancient capital has always been short-staffed. You can't expect college students and idle monks to stay here like us, not to mention that every year a number of students in the ancient capital drop out or take a leave of absence because they can't stand the duty."

Zhou Sining overheard their conversation, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is one mid-level mage enough?"

"To take down that guy, we'll need at least three mid-level mages: one to command the overall situation, one to lure him in, and one to attack. That's how it usually is."

"What? You're not trying to say you're a mid-level mage, are you?" Jiang Bowen joked.

"I can try to break through now, but I don't know if I can succeed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bowen's face stiffened.

"Being too confident, young man, is not a good thing."

Just kidding. It took Jiang Bowen a full ten years to go from awakening magic to breaking through to the intermediate level, and that was after three years of military training.

If a high school student who is only eighteen years old can break through to the intermediate level, how are ordinary people like us supposed to survive?

"Then go ahead and break through. Right here, as long as you don't get close to the edge of the city wall, you won't be in any danger," Jiang Bowen said.

Zhou Sining frowned; these words sounded rather unpleasant.

"Jiang Bowen! Mind your place!" Su Zhe snapped.

Having worked together for many years, Su Zhe knew Jiang Bowen's bad temper, which was prone to being sarcastic.

But this is a battlefield, and Zhou Sining is just a high school student. As the deputy commander, Jiang Bowen cannot say such sarcastic things!

"Bang!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an explosion came from not far away.

The three looked up and saw that the fire mage formation not far away had been blasted open, leaving a hole.

A scarlet, viscous liquid flowed down the city wall, bubbling and hissing.

"Don't go near that liquid, it's poisonous!" Jiang Bowen shouted and rushed over to check on the wounded.

The defensive force, composed of light mages and water mages, suffered heavy losses!

"Radiance • Purification!" Jiang Bowen quickly traced star trails, grasped a ball of blinding light, and rolled it over the wounded.

"Water Mage, cast Water Defense in conjunction with Purification!"

"yes!"

The medical team arrived quickly, and Jiang Bowen busied himself putting the person on a stretcher.

"Quickly, send them to the hospital. Ask the Light Mage to treat them; they've been infected with corpse poison, and we can't let the death energy enter their bodies. The remaining two Water Mages, go to the rear to recuperate. Li Xiaoliu, go and call another team of defensive mages over."

Only two or three minutes later, the hidden warrior launched another attack.

Before they could react, an urgent order came over the loudspeaker!

"Urgent Notice! Urgent Notice! Groups of warriors have appeared on the first, second, and third battle lines of the West City Wall! Groups of warriors have appeared on the first, second, and third battle lines of the West City Wall! It is suspected that a commander has committed an offense! It is suspected that a commander has committed an offense! All idle mid-level mages, immediately proceed to the West City Wall to provide support! All idle mages, immediately proceed to the West City Wall to provide support!!!"

"I'll say it again, all unaffiliated mid-level mages, immediately proceed to the west city wall to provide support!"

Su Zhe's expression changed as another crimson demonic mass appeared in his vision, charging straight towards him!

"Watch out! Guangyou!" He quickly cast a mid-level spell, managing to block the deadly attack in time!

"Step back a little more!"

"Sir, if we retreat any further, we won't be able to see what's below, and the magic we release won't be able to effectively eliminate the vanguard of the undead," a fire mage said.

"Damn it! We have to find that guy!" Su Zhe said gravely.

The battle at the west city wall was intense, and all the mid-level mages who were originally going to come went to their side instead.

If they can't get rid of this lurking undead on their own, who knows how many more people will die tonight!

He turned to look at Zhou Sining: "Are you sure you can break through to the intermediate level?"

"I can take the plunge, but I can't guarantee success." Zhou Sining also realized how serious the situation was.

"I have a fire star chart book here. Someone gave it to me, and I originally planned to sell it, but now it seems I have no choice but to use it."

Su Zhe pulled out a scroll and stuffed it into Zhou Sining's arms: "It's unfair to ask you, as a student, to join this adventurous war, but I really beg you to succeed in breaking through!"

With the Book of Star Charts, even Zhou Sining, who had just broken through to the next level, could unleash a fierce punch.

Furthermore, his fire was no ordinary fire. If he could coordinate with Su Zhe to strike the undead spirit directly, even if they couldn't kill it, they could severely injure it.

Zhou Sining stared at the scroll and remained silent for a long time.

"I am an adult, and I took on the mission voluntarily as a hunter mage, so I naturally considered the possibility of being in danger."

He looked up at Su Zhe: "Don't misunderstand, I don't have any heroic sentiments, I just said I would do my best."
