Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 606 The Terrifying Heart-Devouring Demon, Fierce Battle

The explosion was caused by the fat man. He made such a commotion not only to warn the newcomers of the danger, but also in the hope that they would rescue him.

"Wow, are demons this particular these days? They even know to make cured meat as a backup ration," Mo Fan said, trying to lighten the mood as he looked at the dried corpses.

"I don't know whether it's particular or not, I only know that something seems to be coming." Zhao Manyan's voice trembled slightly, but his hands moved incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, the construction of the intermediate star map was completed. The golden light star map lit up under Zhao Manyan's feet, and then a Radiant Shield condensed in front of him.

Looking at Zhao Manyan, who seemed to have retreated into his shell, Mo Fan chuckled and teased, "Old Zhao, are you really that afraid of death?"

"Damn, that fat guy is a student at the Swedish National Academy. Do you think the demons that wiped them out are simple?" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but retort.

While the two were chatting, Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu remained vigilant about their surroundings, their expressions showing a degree of tension.

A demon with an unknown number of legs was constantly approaching the location of Jiang Han and his companions on the colorless, transparent woven silk.

That demon might have the blood of spider or scorpion demons, with scorpion-like or spider-like legs distributed on both sides of its body, a head that is relatively small and pointed compared to its body, and a long snake tail.

Its body is covered with dark green scales. This special demon, which is pieced together from a human, scorpion, spider and python, looks several times more terrifying than the demons in the outside world. People with weak hearts may even be so frightened by its appearance that their limbs go weak.

In the dim light, its legs easily gripped the woven silk and moved forward quickly; if you didn't look closely, you might even think that it was crawling on air.

"A Heart-Devouring Demon?" Jiang Han was slightly surprised by the results of the system's investigation.

Although Jiang Han knew he might encounter this thing in the Poisonous Miasma Lake Valley, he never expected to encounter it so soon. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled: where were Kelly and the others who came to search for the treasure?

Keep in mind that Kelly was the first person to know about the battlefield treasures; the fat man hanging on the woven silk learned about it through other means.

Now that we've met the fat man from Sweden, where are Kelly and the others who arrived here earlier?

Could it be that there are actually more than just the two Heart-Devouring Demons mentioned in the original story?!

"Gulp~" Zhao Manyan swallowed hard and said, "We've probably stepped into these guys' territory."

Not far away, on the rocky walls of the lake valley, Heart-Devouring Demons slithered swiftly. Even though the light emanating from the Radiant City couldn't reach them, and although it was impossible to see what those rapidly crawling shadows were, their lifeless pupils and greedy, bloodthirsty appearances clearly revealed their identity—Heart-Devouring Demons!

"Everyone be careful. I used mind magic to investigate, and the weakest of these guys is at the peak of the War General level, and several of them have the strength of a Commander."

"The strongest leader, the Heart-Devouring Demon, is about to advance again. If we hadn't stumbled into this place, it might have already started devouring those foreign students and other reserves in preparation for breaking through its bloodline limit."

After hearing Jiang Shaoxu's findings, even the daring Mo Fan couldn't help but gasp. After all, the situation here was more thrilling than any of his previous adventures.

"Gah!!!" The Heart-Devouring Demon Commander on the woven silk let out a piercing cry.

In an instant, the other Heart-Devouring Demons rapidly approached the location of Jiang Han and the others, moving so fast that their movements were almost invisible.

"Thunderbolt - Lightning Disaster!!"

With his rich combat experience, Mo Fan quickly completed the construction of the star map. Immediately afterwards, dark clouds rapidly condensed above the lake valley, and in an instant, several purple lightning bolts struck down from them, then transformed into several bolts of lightning that struck several Heart-Devouring Demons.

"Gah~~~"

Several painful screams echoed through the valley. Although Mo Fan had lost the Tyrant Desolate Thunder Soul Seed, the power of his mid-level fourth-grade magic, enhanced by the Spirit Seed, was still not to be underestimated.

The few Heart-Devouring Demons that were hit were directly seriously injured and lost their fighting ability, but the other Heart-Devouring Demons were not frightened by Mo Fan's thunderbolts. Instead, they charged forward even faster, causing Mo Fan's next few lightning strikes to miss.

"Damn it, are these things all like loaches? They're all so slippery." Mo Fan couldn't help but curse as he slashed through the air again.

At this moment, the Heart-Devouring Demon at the front was less than a hundred meters away from the group, but Jiang Han did not intend to make a move. He was only responsible for covering the retreat in this level of battle, which was something they had agreed upon on the way.

The main combatants are Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Shaoxu. As for Zhao Manyan, well, he acts as a shield guard, ready to provide rescue at any time and prevent the others from being ambushed by demons while they are fighting.

Seeing that the damage from the lightning magic was not as expected, Mo Fan decisively switched to fire magic and summoned Little Flame Princess. With the blessing of Little Flame Princess's Calamity Flame, the power of the mid-level magic was several times stronger than Thunderbolt. A single Fiery Fist directly blasted several peak-level Heart-Devouring Demons into charred remains.

As Mo Fan's killing spree began, Mu Ningxue and Jiang Shaoxu's constellations were also completed one after another.

After Mu Ningxue completed her ice-type constellation, the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into ice, and the speed of the rushing Heart-Devouring Demon dropped sharply.

"Frozen Coffin - Heavenly Coffin!"

A massive ice crystal coffin materialized beneath the constellation, and then the temperature within a fifty-meter radius of the ice crystal coffin plummeted once again. Frost began to form on the scales of many Heart-Devouring Demons. This effect was achieved not only through the domain's effect but also through the enhancement of the Soul Seed. The combination of these two factors allowed this high-level magic to achieve a ranged slowdown.

Upon seeing the ice crystal coffin beneath the constellation, several commander-level Heart-Devouring Demons paused for a moment before launching another attack.

Their king needs to advance and break through the upper limit of his bloodline, and these invaders are the best nourishment for his advancement. They will not give up even if many of them die under their command.

"Fall." Mu Ningxue's voice was indifferent, her eyes were filled with unyielding ice, and her snow-white hair danced in the wind like a supreme ice queen.

Under Mu Ningxue's control, the ice crystal coffin crashed directly into the two commander-level Heart-Devouring Demons. Sensing the approaching danger, the two Heart-Devouring Demons either brandished their claws or spat out venom to try and stop the descending ice crystal coffin.

Snap!

The claws of a heart-devouring demon were smashed off by the coffin.

As for the venom that the other creature spat out, it was frozen into ice blocks by the extreme low temperature before it even got close and fell to the ground.

boom!!!

The falling ice crystal coffin trapped two commander-level Heart-Devouring Demons within it. Well, it only trapped them temporarily, preventing them from being killed. Of course, it could still be done if the Ice Crystal Bow was used.

Although Jiang Shaoxu's Mind-Based Constellation effect cannot slow down the Heart-Devouring Demons, it can affect their minds, disrupt their thoughts, and even control their bodies to fight for him.

"Soul-capturing and mind-controlling!!!"
