Chapter 61: Drago

……

"Why didn't the barrier hidden in the academy block the infiltration of the demons? Why was it only noticed when things had reached this point? Are you City Demon Hunter Team members all just useless freeloaders!"

Outside the gymnasium, a man riding a cyan-blue giant beast stood atop its head, glaring at the massive gymnasium before him and venting his anger at the City Demon Hunter Team below.

Demons invading the academy was a grave dereliction of duty by the City Demon Hunter Team; if not for the commission from the Qingtian Hunting Office, the entire Qing Xiaoqu could have become a nest for demons.

"Hmm?" Hunter King Du Xiao's eyes narrowed as he turned to look into the distance.

Such incredible speed!

"Don't attack! I called them here!" Lingling shouted.

Du Xiao stopped his movement, "You called them?"

When they were still several hundred meters from the gymnasium, Jingyun slowed down abruptly. Lv Cheng, holding Ding Yumian, flew out following the momentum. After gliding through the air for a distance, they landed steadily in front of Lingling, while Jingyun rapidly shrank to the size of a parrot and landed on Lv Cheng's shoulder.

"……"

"What a flashy way to make an entrance..." Lingling looked with a strange expression at the red-faced Ding Yumian in Lv Cheng's arms.

Big sister was right, this guy really is flirting with someone anytime, anywhere.

"Teacher Lv? Why are you here?" Department Head Zhou Zhenghua said with pleasant surprise.

"The little loli asked for help, how could I not come?" Lv Cheng placed Ding Yumian on the ground.

"What do you intend to do?" Officer Ximing asked.

"We cannot alert the Scaled Skin Demon Mother inside right now."

"Simple. Yumian, feel it with your heart." Lv Cheng closed his eyes, and a wave of mental energy surged outward.

"Done."

"……"

"Are you joking with me?" The Hunter Mage Captain narrowed his eyes.

Where did this clown come from?

Can't he check the occasion before showing off and flirting?

"Did you learn it?" Lv Cheng looked at Ding Yumian.

"I..." Ding Yumian was bewildered.

No, this counts as teaching?

"What did you do?" Du Xiao asked, puzzled.

He had only sensed a burst of mental fluctuation.

"Just a little trick to induce sleep." Lv Cheng took out his phone and dialed Mo Fan's number.

"Hurry up and go kill the Scaled Skin Demon Mother."

"What the hell? Brother Cheng, you did it?"

"Hurry, that thing is about to wake up."

"Got it!"

He hung up the phone.

"What's the situation?" Du Xiao asked, puzzled.

"There are thousands of people in this gymnasium, so the Mind Magic I used was area-of-effect. If I had knocked out all the Warrior-level demons, do you think the others would still be alive?" Lv Cheng said speechlessly.

Area-of-effect Mind Magic is an indiscriminate strike that treats all living beings equally!

If there were only a few dozen people, he could have controlled it to avoid hurting anyone, but there are thousands of people inside!

To knock out the Scaled Skin Demon Mother, he would have to increase the power of the sleep effect, but sleep is essentially a type of Mental Shock. For a Warrior-level demon, it counts as a forced-sleep Mental Shock, but for the students inside, it would be a death sentence!

He could only control the intensity to leave the Scaled Skin Demon Mother dizzy and temporarily unable to act or think, all while ensuring no serious harm came to the students inside.

"Alright, once Mo Fan takes care of the Scaled Skin Demon Mother, you can go in slowly to save people." Lv Cheng turned and left with Ding Yumian.

"By the way, don't even think about rushing in to steal the credit right now, unless you want all those infected students to die here."

The Demon Hunter Captain, who was just about to order an attack, stiffened and silently swallowed his words.

He was responsible for this sector, and now that such a huge incident had occurred, even if it were resolved safely, he was finished.

"Oh, right, I was never here tonight." Lv Cheng looked back and said.

Du Xiao was stunned, "But..."

"If you really must find someone to take the credit, those two students fighting inside are quite suitable." Lv Cheng said.

"Anyway, don't bring me any trouble. I don't want to be chased and surrounded by a group of female students shouting about wanting to have my babies or something. Annoying."

"……"

The crowd's expressions froze.

What a unique reason!

……

Winter break.

With the help of the Sanbu Tower, Lv Cheng had successfully pushed his Space Element to the Advanced level and temporarily stopped his magic cultivation. He intended to release another Demon next.

This was what Luo Pei had told him before: do not release too many Demons at once. He must wait until he had mastered the power of the current Demon before releasing the next one; otherwise, accidents could easily happen.

It wasn't that the Demons would lose control; to him, the Demons were now just Summoned Beasts.

Because he was unwilling to give up the power of the Demons, and Luo Pei could not bear to watch him put the new world in danger, he spent several months researching his Dimension Summoning Magic and then created a special Magic Spell for him.

A special Magic Spell combined with Summoning Element magic.

Now, there were two ways for him to pull a Demon out of Hell.

One was the way he had done with Shendu before: the Demon's power after leaving Hell corresponded to his own, but the Demon was free. A Demon that left Hell in this way truly left Hell and would not be repelled by the Dimension Summoning; they could stay in this world indefinitely.

The other way was through Dimension Summoning, using his own Magic Energy as support to pull the Demons out of Hell. In this way, the Demon's power would not be restricted in any way, but he would need to act as the source of consumption for the Demons' power, just like activating the Luo Pei statue.

Both have their advantages; for the former, he does not need to worry about the Demon's energy, but in terms of safety, the latter is stronger.

After all, by pulling a Demon out via Dimensional Summoning, as long as he interrupts the Magic Energy maintaining the Dimensional Summoning, the Demon will be repelled by the reality dimension and forcibly returned to Hell.

"So, have you all decided who will come out?" Lv Cheng asked.

"Elders first," Zhou Lan said.

"Ladies first!" Bogang and Basha stepped forward.

"The strong first!" Zhong Su gathered golden lightning in his hand.

"..."

For a moment, all the Demons except for Xiaolong began to argue, and no one was willing to yield.

"Alright, let's decide by drawing lots." Lv Cheng took out a six-sided die.

"Zhou Lan is one, Bogang is two, Xiaofeng is three, Zhong Su is four, Basha is five, and Dikui is six."

"Then what about me?" Xiaolong asked.

"You?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"What benefit is there for me if I let you out?"

"I..." Xiaolong paused and took a deep breath.

"Uncle! I can help you!"

Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Uncle? You can even betray your own father; how do I know you won't betray me?"

"I still remember many ancient Magic Spells," Xiaolong said.

"Moreover, I can help you obtain the Spellbook!"

The Demons were stunned.

"How will you get it?" Zhou Lan asked in confusion.

Didn't Shendu say the Spellbook had already been destroyed?

"I know a counter-Magic Spell; if you activate that counter-Magic Spell in Hell, you can use Luo Pei's aura to return to the human world we were in before," Xiaolong said.

"As for the Spellbook, it was only destroyed in one time period; in previous times, that thing still existed!"

Lv Cheng looked thoughtful, "Is there any danger?"

"There is indeed a risk," Xiaolong said.

"Time travel is prone to problems; in different space-times, the direction and speed of time flow are different. You have no experience and could easily get lost."

"But I have experience; if you take me out, I can help you go get it."

Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow, "You'll help me go get it?"

"How do I know you won't run off halfway?"

"I can solve this problem." Zhou Lan flew over, a dark purple energy ball appearing in his palm, which he struck onto Xiaolong, separating his soul from his body.

"To get things, having a soul is enough. This Magic Spell can forcibly suck his soul back into his body; he can't run."

Lv Cheng looked strange.

This whole family really is full of mutual respect and love.

I can't run, and you shouldn't think about running either.

"Now you can believe me, right?" Xiaolong looked pained.

Although he hadn't intended to run away, this feeling of being backstabbed...

Was this why his father was angry?
