Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 41 Tiny Undead Crystal

The school gate was much quieter on the second day of school, with few people lingering around. Su Ming spotted Tang Shan in the crowd as soon as he arrived.

The main problem is that this guy is too conspicuous. He's not exactly good-looking; his face is fairly regular, and he's a little chubby, which is normal—most people look like that.

But for some reason, Tang San seemed to have a magical power that made him easily recognizable to everyone in the crowd.

Besides Tang Shan, there were twenty or thirty other people at the school gate, three of whom looked a bit older, their youthful innocence almost gone.

The other twenty-odd people were similar to him; they were new students at the ancient capital's academy who had been misled by Tang Shan and were preparing to go to the outer city wall to earn credits.

"Brother, the last one is here, let's go." Tang Shan said to the boy who seemed to be the leader among the three after seeing Su Ming coming over.

"Okay." Tang Chao nodded, spoke to the other two, and then the two of them led a group of students to squeeze onto the bus.

The school is quite a distance from the outer city, so running there is definitely not an option. Fortunately, there are buses near the school, so you can just ask someone at the station to let you rent one.

The bus swayed and bumped along the way, with passengers getting on and off near the outer city wall.

On the way, Su Ming overheard the others whispering, "Aren't the undead only out at night? Will we be able to encounter them if we go early in the morning?"

"I don't know. That guy from Tangshan is a local. Maybe he knows how to lure out the undead. You've seen that scene before, haven't you? The undead were everywhere, like a tidal wave. My legs went weak just looking at it, let alone hunting them."

……

Su Ming hadn't been in the ancient capital for long, and he spent most of his time cultivating at home. He wasn't very familiar with these undead and had some doubts in his mind.

"Alright, alright, everyone look this way." The group arrived at the edge of the city wall, where they could exit. Tang Shan suddenly stepped forward and clapped his hands vigorously to make sure everyone could hear him.

"Next, we're going to the city wall to hunt undead outside. I guess many of our brothers are from out of town and don't take undead seriously. They all think that undead don't come out during the day and can't be hunted."

"Actually, that's not how it works. The spirits are just sleeping during the day. We just need to lure them out. Next, I'll give everyone some bags of pig's blood. We can just scatter the pig's blood on the ground later."

Be careful not to sprinkle it in places that look eerie. If you sprinkle it even a little, the spirits of the dead will crawl out, and I don't need to tell you what to do after they come out.

After speaking, Tang Shan took out a blood sample the size of a chili powder packet from his backpack and handed it to everyone in batches.

The plastic on the bag is very fragile and will break if you squeeze it.

"We don't know what department you're in, or how capable you are. You should organize yourselves."

After Tangshan finished speaking, the group split into five teams, each with at least five people.

Su Ming was left aside.

It seems the assignments were done in advance. Su Ming didn't mind; being alone was fine. It would be a good opportunity to test himself and earn more credits.

After organizing the team, Tang Chao went to negotiate with the guards. Upon learning that they were students from the Ancient Capital Academy, he decisively let them pass. It was common for students from the Ancient Capital Academy to hunt undead to earn credits, and it could be seen almost every day.

Those with slightly weaker strength will choose to go out during the day, as most undead are asleep during the day, with only a few wandering around outside, posing no significant threat.

"Don't stray too far apart, or you'll easily run into trouble in case of an emergency. There are a lot of undead on the ground near the city wall. If there are too many undead inside, it's easy for one thing to affect the whole situation. If you encounter a large number of undead, just kill a few servant-level undead on the edge," Tang Chao said. He stood in the middle, with the other two lined up to ensure that they could support everyone.

Someone was the first to pick up a bag of pig's blood and throw it on the ground. The plastic bag was very thin and broke as soon as it touched the ground. The blood splattered on the soil and clearly seeped in.

Not much blood is needed, just a little, even a drop, will do. The undead will rush at you like madmen when they smell blood.

Pig's blood also has this effect; the ground begins to shake, as if something is about to crawl out from underground. A large amount of soil falls, and a hand stretches out, dry, black, and emitting an indescribable stench of decay.

After the hands came the head, then the body, and slowly, a standard servant-level undead appeared before everyone's eyes. The undead was dressed in modern clothes, and the clothes were not too decayed. It should be that the poor mage who had just died had become an undead. He probably never thought that he would become a being that humans had to kill.

The undead should be asleep, and they would crawl out at night, but now he has been awakened early. The undead have a poor sense of smell during the day and can only detect the scent of blood and living people within a certain range. They can't detect anything too far away, which is why the ancient capital has very weak guards during the day.

These spirits never come out during the day.

He was disturbed; he smelled the scent of living people and knew he had to kill them.

Ouch!!!

The undead roared and began to act according to their instincts. Despite their broken legs and arms, the undead were very fast. The speed of the slave-level undead was not much less than that of the wind magic Wind Track.

The undead's feet were twisted, but that didn't stop him from killing.

He waved his hands, trying to grab the nearest person.

"Waterways - Guardians"

With a bang, the undead was sent flying. A male student yelled, "What the hell are you doing?! That's an undead! You could die if you're not careful!!"

If the undead fail to seize the opportunity on their first attempt, it will be very difficult for them to catch up. With six or seven people complementing each other, they have both defensive and offensive capabilities. Ordinary undead simply cannot fight against a human squad. They can only rely on overwhelming numbers and sneak attacks.

"Sizzle."

"Ice Vine"

With their combined efforts, they finally killed an undead, and its undead crystal fell out. The male student who had previously used Water Defense to save people retrieved the undead crystal.

This crystal was only the size of a thumbnail, belonging to the lowest level of undead crystals, but they still went to school. They had killed it with their joint efforts, and they couldn't help but feel proud.

They were magicians who had killed demons, no longer so-called novice magicians.

The effects of the pig's blood were immediate; each of the teams killed several demons, but Su Ming's team remained silent.

Su Ming watched them kill the undead before preparing to act. He took out a bag of pig's blood and threw it on the ground.

Soon after, a ghost crawled out from underground, baring its fangs and claws, trying to tear him apart.

The servant-level undead is the lowest level of undead. This level of undead poses no threat to Su Ming, whose mental strength has reached the second realm, and whose dimensional magic power has been greatly enhanced.

If he were still in the first realm, Su Ming would most likely have chosen to use a barrier to block the undead, or at the very least, to use a retreat, but now he doesn't need to.

Su Ming kept his magic firmly in his grasp. The moment the undead appeared, he instantly connected with the seventh star, and the star entered orbit. He then used Mind Control - Void Claw.

The undead were fast, but the magic was even faster. Before the undead could even touch him, Su Ming's magic had already taken effect on it, and the undead claw gripped it like a giant hand.

"Click..."

Silver light flashed in Su Ming's eyes as he continuously controlled the Void Claw with power. The sound of bones cracking could even be heard from the undead's body, as his body could not withstand the Void Claw.

Amidst a series of cracking sounds, the undead ultimately failed to break free of the illusory claws, being crushed to pieces, with fragments of flesh and bone scattered all over the ground, along with the undead crystal.

Su Ming picked up the necromancer crystal and put it into his spatial ring, which he hadn't used in a long time.

It was much easier than he had imagined, and Su Ming gained a new understanding of his own magic.

He's not in any danger right now as long as he doesn't encounter any undead of warrior-level rank.

Even if you encounter a situation you can't beat, you can run away, since Xiaoqing is there for you.

The loess soil outside the city is uneven, with mounds everywhere. These inconspicuous mounds are the cemetery for the dead, stretching as far as the eye can see and densely packed.

Countless spirits lie on the ground, only rising again when night falls.

The danger of hunting undead during the day is minimal and almost negligible.

As long as you don't do anything reckless.

"ah!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a scream interrupted Su Ming's thoughts and startled the students who were hunting undead.

The three senior students slacked off as usual, because there was no danger in the Land of the Dead during the day as long as they didn't do anything reckless. They were there to act as a figurehead, so they naturally had to slack off.

The other trainees were all focused on dealing with the undead, and no one noticed that a small team kept advancing because they felt that the undead here were too weak and few.

Because of the angle of view, no one noticed.

Until that scream.
