Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 342 The Legend of Sha Yuan

"A friend of mine ran into some trouble in the ancient capital, so we came here to help," Jiang Han said.

"Speaking of which, has something big happened this time that has brought so many people here?"

"Hmm." Zhu Meng didn't say much to Jiang Han, but turned around and went to the railing carved with dragons and phoenixes at the edge of the hall.

He addressed the assembled monks in the hall with a blank expression: "I am glad you are all here, but I have some unfortunate news to tell you: a malevolent abyss has appeared 30 kilometers north of the ancient capital!"

When he mentioned the name "Sha Yuan," Councilor Zhu Meng sighed slightly, as if even he was reluctant to mention the word.

"What, the Abyss of Fiends???"

"How could something like this appear near a city? There must be some mistake!" a hunter mage exclaimed.

"My God, it's only thirty kilometers away, are we really going to face a plague of the dead?" a middle-aged monk exclaimed.

Mo Fan didn't know what Sha Yuan was, so he didn't understand why others would become unusually flustered when they heard the name Sha Yuan. At the same time, he also noticed that Jiang Han's expression had become somewhat solemn.

"Jiang Han, what exactly is this Fiend Abyss? Why are these people so panicked when they hear about it?" Mo Fan asked.

"To put it bluntly, the Abyss of Fiends is a burial pit filled with the dead. It devours everything around it, and anyone who falls in will surely die. The fact that the monkey survived the Abyss of Fiends is purely due to good luck," Jiang Han said.

"Young man, you've never encountered the Abyss of Fiends, so you can't possibly understand its terror," said Zhong Zishan, the leader of Zhou Min's group.

Thinking back to what happened back then, Zhong Zishan's pupils were filled with bloodshot fear. Only when you truly face that kind of disaster can you realize how insignificant humanity is.

"The Abyss of Sha can also be called the Hell Furnace that has been exposed and covered with mud. Standing on the Abyss of Sha, you can clearly see the scene of hell. Hundreds of ghosts roar with resentment and anger, thousands of rotting corpses will devour any moving object, and countless demonic souls stretch out their claws waiting to be irrigated with blood."

After hearing Zhong Zishan's story, Mo Fan felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could recover, he heard Zhu Meng's deep voice again, but Zhu Meng's words made him fall into deep thought.

"When the resentment becomes too concentrated, space becomes unbearable, then distorts and shatters, allowing the Abyss of Fiends to travel through time and space. As for how it accomplishes this, none of us know to this day," Zhu Meng said with a look of melancholy.

"So the legends about the Abyss of Fiends are true?" Jiang Han asked.

"What legend?" Zhu Meng asked Jiang Han in confusion.

"Aren't you some kind of strategic threat senator? I've never heard of the legends about the Abyss of Fiends. There are just rumors that it connects to the tomb of an ancient king, created by the ancient king before his death using special methods, combining spatial, chaotic, earth, and necromancy elements," Jiang Han said.

"Never heard of that. Where did you hear that from? And what I call the Urban Hidden Dangers Strategic Clearance Plan?" Zhu Meng asked.

"I forgot exactly where I saw it, but I only have a vague impression that you said Sha Yuan could travel through space, which proves that Sha Yuan definitely has spatial and chaotic abilities," Jiang Han said.

"Hey, since the location of this Abyss of Fiends is uncertain, why are we worried? Are we afraid it will expand to an eight-kilometer radius and swallow this place up? It can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Mo Fan asked with some doubt.

"Expanding it by thirty kilometers is unlikely. If that were the case, the Abyss of Calamity wouldn't be the entrance to hell, but rather the descent of hell itself," Zhong Zishan said.

After hearing the conversation between Zhong Zishan and Mo Fan, Zhu Meng turned around and said, "In fact, the Abyss of Fiends appeared about half a year ago. However, the Abyss of Fiends appeared on a plain 600 kilometers away from the city. It was far away from the city and close to the Sha Wang River, so not many people knew about the appearance of the Abyss of Fiends."

"Six months ago? Still near the Sand River?" Jiang Han turned to look at Mo Fan, and saw the same look of shock in Mo Fan's eyes.

"Then it must have been on that day!!" Mo Fan said uncertainly.

Jiang Han knew what time Mo Fan was referring to. He was talking about when the Heavenly Tribulation Flames had just swept across the northern corner of the plain. After that, the Sand River became turbulent. As a mind-based mage, Xin Xia could clearly feel the fear and unease of the demon soldiers in the Sand River.

"The second time they appeared was three months ago, in the Salt Lake region, which is where Monkey and his group encountered danger," Jiang Han said.

"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here too." A surprised voice came from the stairs. Then Jiang Han saw a mage wearing a black cloak slowly walking over. It was Fei Jiao, the chief instructor of the ancient capital's mage corps whom he had met before.

"Who is he?" Mo Fan asked, looking at Jiang Han.

"The chief instructor of the Lintong Garrison in the ancient capital, and the current boss of the monkeys," Jiang Han replied softly.

Feijiao chatted briefly with Jiang Han and Mo Fan before turning to Zhu Meng and continuing, "The second Sha Yuan appeared in Xianchi, more than a hundred kilometers from the city. Unfortunately, one of my students was on a mission there, and if it weren't for good luck, he probably would have died."

"But the third time it appeared only 30 kilometers away from our outer city wall, which would have been considered the outskirts of the city in the past."

"It's getting closer each time!" a hunter mage from the Hunter's Alliance said solemnly.

"Isn't it said that the Abyss of Fiends has spatial uncertainty? Could this be a coincidence?" Zhong Zishan asked.

The military officer beside Zhu Meng spoke up: "We also hope it's a coincidence, but we have to consider more things."

"So, the reason we've gathered here is to fight against the Abyss of Fiends, right? The Abyss of Fiends is something no human can withstand, especially since we're just mid-level mages," someone said.
