Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 398 Jiang Han escapes death, the powerful mountain peak

The creature that fell from the spatial vortex this time was the same mountain corpse that Jiang Han had seen on the city wall. If it were to come down completely, Jiang Han and the others would be doomed. Therefore, Jiang Han told Long Er to rush towards the spatial passage with all his might, fearing that if they were too late, they would be hammered to death by the falling mountain corpse.

Although he could fight the Mountain Corpse after using Demonization, the soul power stored in the Soul Orb was only enough for him to use once. If he used it here, it would be difficult to deal with the remnant soul of the Ancient King.

To the corpse of the mountain peak, the spatial vortex was like a very deep little pool, so it didn't care that it would actually be sucked into this deadly space. Gradually, it began to get impatient with the suction of the spatial vortex.

"Boom!!!"

As Jiang Han and the others moved away from the vortex, countless black energies suddenly burst forth from the corpse of the mountain peak, and then poured those black energies into its legs.

The corpse of the mountain stomped its legs in the void, instantly filling the sky between the gates of death with spiderweb-like spatial cracks.

Black lightning power spread rampantly, and cracks were swept throughout the entire Death Gate as this power surged forth.

In an instant, the world within the Gate of Death was struck by a thunderous storm, and many unfortunate undead were directly torn apart by the storm.

Jiang Han and his group entered the spatial passage before being affected by the thunderstorm, while the Mountain Corpse leaped out of the silver vortex between the Death Gates using the force of shattering the sky, which horrified the humans on the outer city walls.

As the spatial vortex swept away the mountain corpse, the people on the city wall were preparing to celebrate. However, the mountain corpse not only nearly shattered the silver vortex but also burst out of it.

"Ku!!!"

The mountain corpse raised its head and let out a deafening roar. The sky-covering sea of ​​clouds scattered, revealing a clean sky, but it was soon filled with the foul air it spewed out, gradually turning into an extremely filthy cloud of corpses.

The corpses on the mountain peaks, their patience exhausted, stared intently into the inner city protected by the golden barrier, their gray-white pupils fixed on the scene.

The mountain corpse that emerged from the spatial vortex began to approach the inner city. As the mountain corpse drew closer, the mages guarding the city walls felt an increased pressure, and Han Ji, Lu Xu, Lu Huan, and the others also looked extremely solemn.

As dawn approached and the sky began to lighten, those hiding in the inner city could clearly see the terrifying and hideous face of the Mountain Corpse.

The corpse of the mountain peak looked down on the tiny creatures in the city with the contempt of death. It was like some advanced civilization looking down on a group of domesticated livestock. Even though the corpse of the mountain peak only glanced at them casually, it made many citizens feel cold and fearful.

They were insignificant, truly insignificant. Faced with an undead of the level of the Mountain Corpse, they were unsure whether the golden barrier could protect them, and at the same time, they began to doubt the mages they were so proud of.

After covering Jiang Han and the others to the Abyss of Fiends, Councilor Zhu Meng, Chief Judge Shi Zheng, Li Yujian, the head of the Li family, and Military Commander Yao Ting were at a disadvantage in their battle against the Corpse of the Mountain Peak. Military Commander Yao Ting was killed in battle, and Shi Zheng and Li Yujian were seriously injured. In the end, if it weren't for the timely support from Lu Huan and others on the city wall, they would all have died at the hands of the Corpse of the Mountain Peak.

"I...I heard from my brothers who guard the mages that it killed Commander Yaoting of the guard district!"

"Is it the undead lord who unleashed this catastrophe? That's terrifying. Can we even survive this calamity?"

"Survive? Stop daydreaming. Once the golden barrier shatters, we'll all become food for those undead."

"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!!"

"Waaaaah~~~"

Panic continued to spread among the crowd, and more and more people began to break down and cry as the mountain corpse approached. In front of the mountain corpse, their steel city wall was like a toy model.

On the city wall, the heavily injured Shi Zheng and Li Yujian were receiving treatment from a healing mage, while Zhu Meng, wearing tattered armor, leaned against the wall watching the approaching mountain corpses. Lu Huan and Han Ji were arguing about who should go out of the city to fight.

"President Han, let me go. The city still needs you to oversee the overall situation," Lu Huan said.

"You've all been through great battles, and your magical energy can't sustain a long fight. I'll go. You stay here and keep an eye on Elder Lingxi and Vice Judge Qi Min to prevent Salang from escaping." Han Ji said as he stepped forward.

Han Ji approached the few remaining high-level mages still capable of fighting, as well as the surviving Imperial Guard mages within the city, and loudly proclaimed, "Gentlemen, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Nearly a hundred high-ranking mages shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Han Ji and the other high-level mages were the first to break out of the golden barrier, followed closely by the Imperial Guard Mage Corps. The guard mages on the city wall continuously released various spells to clear away the undead for them.

Various spells unleashed amidst the undead army; scorching flames burned the rotting corpses to ashes, fierce storms easily tore apart ghosts, and golden light purified the death aura from the skeletons…

But the magic of the guardian mages was barely a tickle to the mountain corpse; a black breath blasted straight at the golden barrier, swallowing up all the undead along the way and turning them into nothingness.

Just when many people in the city thought it was going to happen, the golden barrier blocked the dark breath, but the violent fluctuations on the barrier proved how terrifying the dark breath was.

"You dare attack the barrier right in front of me!" a hot-tempered super-rank mage from the Guardian District roared.

Azure flames erupted from his body, and constellations formed by several star maps appeared above his head. These constellations were connected by streaks of azure flames, eventually forming a massive fiery palace. The raging azure flames swept across the entire sky.

"Gates of Hellfire!!"

The scorching heat instantly vaporized many of the dead on the ground, while countless black wisps rose from the corpses on the mountain peaks. Then, a large, ancient, blue gate appeared in the sky, carved with countless ferocious monsters and mythical depictions of hell.

As the azure gate opened, countless azure hellfires scattered from it onto the ground, continuously burning the undead on the ground and the terrifying undead lord—the Corpse of the Mountain!
