Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 64 Casual Judgment

"Recently, my uncle gave me a mission. He said that the infamous Chao He has come to the vicinity of Song City and that I should hunt him down."

"Would you be interested in participating?"

Tang Yue stretched, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Go ahead~ You're free anyway."

Wang Teng's mind raced. At this moment, the fire-type spirit seed probably hadn't been taken away yet, so he could go and check it out.

"Let's go then~"

Tang Yue took swift and decisive action, getting up to leave and change her clothes.

……

Restaurant.

"Is that the person you're talking about?"

"Do you usually go through all this trouble to arrest people?"

Wang Teng picked through the meat, finding it quite tasty. Although some seasoning had been added, he didn't mind.

"Yes, that's him. I didn't expect him to come here so blatantly."

Tang Yue also pretended to eat, taking only a symbolic bite, and spoke with a cheerful and talkative demeanor.

"This is so troublesome... can't we just kill them?"

Wang Teng was somewhat puzzled.

"There are so many people here, how can we kill them? This guy is a mid-level mage. If we start fighting in the middle of the city, it's too easy to hurt innocent people."

Tang Yue rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. This guy probably had a habit of hunting demons and liked to attack as soon as he saw them.

"Okay~"

Wang Teng thought about it from another angle, and it really was true. After all, no one could guarantee that they could kill the other party in one fell swoop. Once they were provoked, innocent people would also be affected. This was probably the dilemma of the judge.

After all, when catching criminals, one cannot become a criminal oneself; otherwise, the reputation of the judicial committee would be tarnished.

"He's gone, let's follow!"

After paying, Tang Yue immediately pulled Wang Teng along and followed.

Along the way, Chao He acted as if nothing was wrong, wandering around to crowded places, and then gradually left Song City, heading north.

Just like on a trip, Wang Teng let Tang Yue use her Shadow Cloak to pull him around and dodge.

"What's he doing here? Could it be that he's here too...?"

Tang Yue watched as Chao He headed upstream towards Xishui Town.

They then continued to follow.

"This is... a fire-type spirit seed?"

"Does Chao He intend to reap the benefits?"

Tang Yue watched as the Hunter Alliance members and the Eastern Family members argued, even resorting to magic. However, the Hunter Alliance members were no match for these family disciples.

"What a show!"

"The Spider's Trap!"

With a sickly smile, Chao He watched as this group of Eastern aristocratic magicians fell into his trap.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Chao He, you damned bastard, how dare you attack us?"

"Ah~ Nebula's perception is being blocked by the evil spider!"

One of them covered his head in terror. He had just tried to enter the spiritual world, but instead was greeted by a giant spider.

"You people from the Dongfang family..."

Chao He was about to say something lewd, but his body's instinctive death warning made him immediately shut his mouth.

A black crack suddenly appeared beside him, trying to split him in two.

He desperately dodged his upper body, lunged forward, and activated his armor magic tool, but the black crack suddenly accelerated its descent, and he felt a chill beneath him!

His legs were severed at the root, and his armor and magical artifacts suffered the same fate as his body, becoming completely unusable, giving him no chance to escape.

"Ah~"

A second later, the excruciating pain reached his mind. Chao He's face contorted, and he gripped the grass tightly with both hands, as if trying to relieve the pain.

"This crack is really useless. I might as well just rush over and kick him."

Wang Teng put his hand down with considerable disdain. If it weren't for the four other people around, he would have simply ignored them.

"Alright, alright... Go check if those four people are dead. If they're not, try to save them."

Tang Yue watched as Wang Teng conjured magic with a wave of his hand, his casting speed incredibly fast, making it difficult for Chao Helian to dodge.

"Okay~"

Wang Teng arrived at the trap. These four unlucky guys, who should have died at Chao He's hands, unexpectedly survived.

"Brother, if you can help us, please do so. We'll repay you handsomely afterward!"

With a desperate will to survive, Dongfang Jun pleaded with Wang Teng.

He had witnessed how Chao He was treated, only to be beaten up like this in the blink of an eye.

"You guys are really lucky!"

"You were able to survive if you met me."

"Ripples of the Soul—Fear!"

Wang Teng turned his back to them and pretended to cast a spell. A star map appeared under his feet and then disappeared. He looked at the giant spider and a strange light flashed in his eyes. The evil spider's demonic shadow shook violently and then shattered and disappeared.

Glug~

Dongfang Jun's eyes were filled with terror. The evil spider trap that had nearly killed the four of them had actually been broken through by this person with just a glance.

"Thank you very much. We found a top-grade fire-type spirit seed here, and we hope it can be a gift to thank you for your help."

He quickly peeled off the spider silk covering his body, no longer coveting the fire-type spirit seed; the guy in front of him was unfathomable.

"Yes, I accept."

Wang Teng walked to the side of the fire-type spirit seed, but did not immediately start collecting it, as there were four other people watching.

"Let's go!"

Dongfang Jun immediately understood what he meant, stopped the other three from speaking, and said in a low voice, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

After they had gone far away, Wang Teng opened the vortex and absorbed the spirit seed into his body space.

"You've made another fortune."

Tang Yue walked over with a smile, holding the vessel of the dead. She hadn't expected the mission to be so easy.

"Worthless~"

Wang Teng shook his head.

"Come on, you!"

"Go back! I need to take Chao He's soul back to report. This guy must undergo soul judgment!"

Seeing the still righteous figure's back, Wang Teng smiled and followed. The rest of the time was for the two of them to do their own thing.

……

"Brother Jun, didn't we just work for nothing this time?"

"Yes, the spirit seed that was almost in our hands has slipped away."

"That person..."

Dongfang Jun stopped and looked at his three underlings with a puzzled expression. Had these three lost their minds?

"Do you guys think it's beneath me to give up on the Spirit Seed so easily?"

"Are your brains filled with shit?"

"I wouldn't be afraid of an ordinary person, but is that person an ordinary person?"

"Have you guys gotten so used to stomping weaker opponents that you've forgotten something? Do I need to remind you?"

Dongfang Jun's face flushed with anger. He was usually arrogant and domineering because his opponents had no strength or background, but they would never go too far.

It's fine to compete with the Hunter Alliance, but I'm aware of my limits when I make a move; it's even less likely that I'd risk my life.

Facing the young man who had easily defeated Chao He, he felt a surge of panic. Even just standing next to him made him feel this way; he couldn't imagine what it would be like to face him directly.

If the spirit seed is gone, we can always find an opportunity to buy another one later.

"No, no need, Jun-ge."

"We understand." +2

Seeing the three men's humble demeanor, Dongfang Jun's anger subsided. After all, they were his underlings who had followed him for so long, and if he drove them away, it would be difficult to find such easy-going ones again.

Even if someone shamelessly comes knocking, it's not as effective as having someone you know well, since some things are best kept private.

"Let's pretend this never happened and go home."

After finishing his sentence, Dongfang Jun walked towards Songcheng.
