Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 487 Entering the Storm Core, Storm Source Crystal

Jiang Han used his mental power to distort space and form a spatial barrier to resist the powerful tearing force of the black storm.

"Master, could you help me locate the energy source of the storm's restriction?" Jiang Han walked through the gray storm, communicating with his slacking-off master through telepathy.

"Yes, but it will cost two thousand system points to activate the location service," the little master explained with a smile as he appeared in front of Jiang Han.

Jiang Han doesn't even blink an eye when it comes to spending two thousand points these days, mainly because he can easily kill a few general-level demons. Like when he killed so many Forbidden Moon Stone Demons in the Gobi Valley, his system points increased by more than 20,000.

After receiving Jiang Han's authorization, Xiao Shi raised her chubby little hand and began to scan the massive black storm.

A few seconds later, Xiao Shi successfully located the core of the storm, and after projecting the location onto the system panel, she slipped away.

"So this is the core." Jiang Han murmured to himself, looking at the little red dot on the system panel.

The location indicated that the core of the storm's restriction was less than 500 meters to his right, so Jiang Han headed right accordingly. After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Han encountered a bluish-purple energy barrier, inside which two energies, one bluish and one purple, were intertwined, sometimes merging and sometimes separating.

The cyan energy is the source of the storm, while the purple energy is the source of the purple-gold lightning. If these two energies are lost, the storm restriction will dissipate on its own, which is why no one has entered the ancient city of ruins to explore it for so many years.

"Spatial Rhythm - Crack!"

A silver-white spatial star map appeared beneath Jiang Han's feet. Immediately afterwards, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear in the space in front of the energy barrier, followed by a terrifying spatial storm that blew out of the cracks and collided with the barrier.

After colliding with the energy barrier, the space storm did not tear the barrier apart as easily as before. Instead, it was blocked by the energy barrier and showed no signs of breaking through.

"As expected of the storm restriction set up by the ancients, my spatial rift, which can easily annihilate even the peak demon generals, cannot even cause any damage." Jiang Han was truly astonished by the restriction barrier set up by the ancients.

If modern cities had such protective barriers, what would be the point of demon attacks? Barriers of this level could easily withstand attacks from commander-level demons. Unfortunately, the methods for setting up such barriers have long been lost to history.

Ordinary magic cannot break through this kind of restriction barrier, but fortunately, Jiang Han's summoning skill broke through to a high level last night, and he has enough magic power to keep Long Da and Long Er in the real world for a long time.

After the spatial rift healed naturally, the energy barrier remained intact, leaving Jiang Han with no choice but to summon Long Da and Long Er from the dimensional space to break the barrier.

The attacks of the two monarch-level skeletal dragons were exceptionally terrifying; a casual swipe of their claws caused the energy barrier to vibrate violently.

In less than five minutes, the energy barrier showed signs of collapsing. As Long Da's last claw landed, the barrier protecting the two energy clusters completely collapsed, and then surging wind and lightning elements rushed towards him.

The two energies that maintain the operation of the storm restriction are, to put it nicely, two primordial energies, but in reality, they are rare treasures nurtured by heaven and earth—source crystals.

Storm Source Crystal and Thunder Source Crystal are both materials for tempering Heavenly Seeds. Moreover, Jiang Han had previously asked Xiao Shi, who said that he could use system points to integrate Thunder Source Crystal into the Soul Seed Breaking Soul Yin Thunder.

Integrating the Thunder Source Crystal into the Soul-Breaking Yin Thunder would allow his Soul-Breaking Yin Thunder to transform into a pseudo-heavenly seed, amplifying Jiang Han's lightning magic by a terrifying twelve times.

"After so many years of consumption, it still has such rich elemental energy. It truly deserves to be called the rare treasure of heaven and earth, the Source Crystal, which is sought after by countless people."

Jiang Han then stored the two source crystals into his system space, and the towering lightning storm even showed signs of dissipating.

······

The rest of the Nationalist team searched the outer perimeter of the storm but found nothing of value. Apart from a pile of broken stones, they found only ancient inscriptions on stone pillars. Overall, they found nothing.

"Damn it, who said this was an unexplored wasteland?"

"I told you long ago, we shouldn't have come to this lousy place."

"Did anyone force you to come?"

"·····"

Seeing that the treasure hunt had yielded no results, Zu Jiming, the troublemaker, started complaining again. Mo Fan, who didn't get along with him, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to mock him. Besides Zu Jiming, Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, and others also complained that they shouldn't have come.

Seeing this, Nan Yu said calmly, "Everyone, sit down and rest for a while. We'll see tomorrow. If there's still nothing, we'll head home."

Since Nan Yu had already spoken, everyone was happy to give her face, after all, she got along quite well with everyone in the team.

Before everyone had even had a few minutes to rest, a sharp cry came from the sky.

"Pyrim!!!!"

"Pyrim!!!!!!!!!"

"Pyrimpy pyrimpy!!!!"

At first, it was just a sharp, lightning-like cry that pierced the sky from afar. Gradually, the cries became more and more frequent, eventually turning into a chorus of cries, which made everyone who was resting shudder.

Then, looking up at the sky, it was almost sunset. The orange glow of the setting sun contrasted sharply with the black lightning storm, and the cloudless sky dyed the western sky a beautiful orange-red.

The orange ground and the orange sunset sky complement each other perfectly, but suddenly a striking blue-green hue appears on this vast and boundless canvas of orange and red.

If you look closely, you'll see that they are a group of strange birds. They have emerald green bodies, as beautiful and smooth as jade, and their wings are completely blue. Both their long feathers and down feathers are exceptionally neat.

As they flew in flocks, it felt as if emerald clouds and blue silk were gradually covering the sunset sky, while constantly approaching the place where the Nationalist team was resting.

"Holy crap, it's them again, and there are even more of them than last time!" Jiang Yu shouted as he watched the flock of strange birds flying in.

"Are you kidding me? Why aren't the other great demons paying any attention to them flying over like this?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's over, it's over, we don't even have any cover here, how are we going to fight them?" Even Li Kaifeng looked panicked again.

Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue did not participate in the last operation, so they did not understand what everyone was afraid of.

Although they didn't understand what everyone was afraid of, seeing Ai Jiangtu's solemn expression, the two knew that they were really in big trouble this time.

"My God, there are some in this direction and some in that direction. Except for the lightning storm, there are flocks of strange birds in all other directions."

"We're completely finished now, we're surrounded."
