: The Cruel Slaughter of the False Demon, and the Arrival of the Eagle Mage Corps

Chapter 26: The Cruel Slaughter of the False Demon, and the Arrival of the Eagle Mage Corps

"Really?!" Shen Mingxiao asked incredulously.

The other dozen or so people also looked at Gojo Satoru with tense expressions.

"Of course it's true." Gojo Satoru nodded seriously, then said casually, "If you don't believe me, I can show you."

Before anyone could react, Gojo Satoru raised his hand to complete the star map and unleashed a spatial blade strike!

An invisible spatial force sliced ​​through the entire building as easily as cutting tofu. The next second, the vines that had been entwining the building began to wriggle and then gathered towards the center of the building.

Rumble!!

As the plants closed up, the vines and plants inside and outside the building slowly rolled like parts of a machine, driving the entire machine to start, and the building began to move.

"Holy crap, this is terrifying!" Mo Fan felt his scalp tingle as he looked at the scene. If he went in, would he ever come out?

"This is a fake demon!!" Qingqing and Mu Nujiao, two plant-based mages, exclaimed in shock.

"What is that?" Zhao Manyan asked, confused.

"The Pseudo-Fear Demon is a plant-type demon with extremely high bloodline. It is afraid of sunlight and usually hides in dark places. This building has probably become its hunting ground..." Bai Tingting explained.

The others were also terrified and relieved that they hadn't gone inside.

"Quickly write it down!" Mu Ningxue said.

Song Xia was about to write it down, but Wu Tiaowu stopped her.

"No need, I'll remove it!"

Before anyone else could react, Gojo Satoru charged straight through the air with overwhelming momentum!

"Holy crap, is this really something a mid-level cultivator can do?" Zhao Manyan asked weakly.

"Impossible! This level of control is definitely not intermediate!"

Everyone refuted this in unison.

"Does that mean that Gojo Satoru is already a high-level mage?!" Lu Zhenghe said in despair.

"That's probably true!"

……

The high-rise buildings, constructed of cement and concrete, are now entangled and squeezed by countless vines and trees.

Boom! Boom!

A hideous, enormous head burst through the wall of a building about three stories high, with countless claw-like vines dancing in the air!

Satoru Gojo weaved through countless vines, constantly approaching the most powerful and conspicuous source of magic.

Swish swish! ! !

The vines around the false demon's head rapidly attacked Gojo Satoru, who was constantly approaching, and the plants hidden everywhere began to move.

These vines can easily pierce through a magician's body when caught off guard.

"Spatial Rhythm - Slash!"

Gojo Satoru unleashed his full power, instantly completing the silver star map, and dozens of spatial blades severed the dancing vines in a flash.

Then, a silver aura enveloped his entire body, and he sped toward his head, where the demonic power was most concentrated.

Click, click, click!

The false demon continuously controlled the vines to attack Gojo Satoru, who was trying to close the distance, while all the plants were shredded to pieces under the terrifying spatial guillotine!

"Spell Reversal - Azure!"

Gojo Satoru didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly used spatial manipulation to close the distance.

With a "whoosh," his figure instantly teleported from a hundred meters away to in front of the enormous head of the False Demon.

The next second, his left hand instantly tore open the false demon's head, while his other hand pulled out its core essence.

The core essence lies in the common weakness of most plant-based demons.

"If it weren't for the usefulness of the core essence, I would have blasted you to death with the Hellfire long ago!" Gojo Satoru shook the liquid off his hand and muttered to himself.

Just as he shook off the slurry from his hands, he unexpectedly discovered a little trinket that was worth quite a bit of money.

Hu~hu~

A gust of wind blew by, dispersing the smoke and dust that filled the air, and the dense, jungle-like plants covering the entire municipal building also died.

"The fake demon has been dealt with!" Qingqing exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.

"What? He died just like that!"

The crowd said in disbelief.

It hasn't been long at all, and Gojo Satoru has already defeated the extremely difficult-to-deal-with pseudo-fear demon!

"Look at those dense plants, aren't they withered?" Bai Tingting pointed to the withered plants and continued, "The False Demon and them are a single entity, which can be used to determine whether they are completely dead."

"Oh, oh." Mo Fan nodded repeatedly.

Just as everyone was discussing, a silver light landed beside them, and Gojo Satoru slowly walked out.

"Let's go to the next reconnaissance site," he said to the group.

The group quickly followed Gojo Satoru to explore other parts of the deserted city.

After surveying only three areas, it grew dark.

Gojo Satoru had no choice but to disband the group and send everyone to find a temporary place to stay.

They eventually found a church that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

The church was designed with the issue of the passage of time in mind, as the stone is a type of plant that is difficult to grow on.

So the entire church is still very intact, sealed off so there's hardly any dust, and you can live there after a quick cleaning.

Wu Tiao first sent Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and others out to hunt for food, and assigned the task of cleaning the church to the girls, while he went to find a water source and eliminate potential safety hazards.

After a week, they had almost finished eating and drinking the dry food and water they had brought.

Although Gojo Satoru still has many storage magic items, he can't just keep giving them away without taking any in.

…………

Over the next few days, Gojo Satoru began to sit firmly in the church and even sent others to complete reconnaissance missions in groups.

The main reason was that the mission was meant to train them, and it would be too time-consuming to survey each location one by one, so Gojo Satoru naturally took charge of arranging these people.

Of course, to prevent any accidents, the thoughtful Gojo Satoru also gave a signal flare to the team that went out to explore.

Even if others were unwilling, they didn't dare to speak up.

After all, Gojo Satoru was right; this reconnaissance mission was originally for everyone, and he had already done enough in the previous week.

If we just sit idly by for a while, who will dare to say anything?

This period of complacency lasted for three days, during which the two teams, consisting of Lu Zhenghe's Youwen Baolang and Mo Fan's Jixinglang, completed one-third of the reconnaissance mission.

Originally, Gojo Satoru thought that if things continued like this, they could finish work and return home in a few more days.

But at noon today, when he was sitting at the top of the church as usual, he unexpectedly discovered a group of mid-level mages riding military eagles that landed near the Golden Forest Wasteland.

There were about twenty or thirty people, the strongest of whom had reached the high level of the earth element.

Without much thought, Gojo Satoru fired a signal flare, bringing back both teams that had gone out to conduct reconnaissance.

Gradually, the two general-level wolf clan members and the fifteen people from the Pearl Capital returned.

Wu Tiao Wu stood beside Bai Tingting at the church entrance and said to the crowd, "Just now, a group of mid-level mages riding military eagles landed near Jinlin Wasteland City."

"I felt something was off, so I called you all back."

"Didn't the teachers say there were no protective measures?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.

"Yes, that's what our teacher Lu said too!" Xu Dalong also looked confused.

"That's precisely why I called you back," Gojo Satoru said with a serious expression.

The timing of this mid-level mage group's arrival was too suspicious; he had a vague feeling that they were up to no good.
