The Magic Apprentice: My Cells Have Mutated

Chapter 37 - Ghoul Demon



The moment the round flame touched the grave, everyone felt themselves going deaf.

What followed was a strong light.

Everyone placed their arms in front of their foreheads and used their arms to block the light to look forward.

“Prepare the defensive barrier!” Roosevelt shouted.

Soon, under Roosevelt’s command, the barrier team moved forward. Then, against the bright light, they began to chant a complex spell.

After a few breaths, they finished chanting.

A hexagram barrier spread out from the explosion.

“Hexagram Barrier!” Alice exclaimed.

“It’s really a Hexagram Barrier!”

“It is said that inside this barrier, even a Great Mage cannot escape!”

“Have you all forgotten that this formation requires the users’ life as the price to activate?”

Roosevelt was also stunned on the spot. He did not expect that these barrier team members would sacrifice their lives to trap the great demonic creature.

However, he could only pray that he was correct in guessing that the great demonic creature was really in the grave. Otherwise, he would be a sinner who had killed six young Formation Mages.

Due to the Hexagram Barrier, the environment at the center of the explosion was quickly revealed to everyone.

A ten-meter-wide pit appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Roosevelt leaned forward hastily.

Unfortunately, no matter how he searched and dug, he did not see the great demonic creature.

“Damn it! You’ve pissed me off!”

Just as Roosevelt slumped to the ground, deep in self-blame, a voice full of anger and resentment sounded.

After hearing the voice, Roosevelt’s eyes suddenly flashed.

From the voice, he knew that he had found the right place. Those people had not sacrificed themselves for nothing.

He got up anxiously and craned his neck to look into the pit.

This time, he saw it.

In the blasted pit, pieces of dark green, rotting flesh were gathering towards the center.

Seeing this, Roosevelt charged into the pit and prepared to fight the great demonic creature who was preparing to revive itself.

But before he could enter the pit, a homeless man suddenly rushed into the barrier and blocked Roosevelt’s iron fists.

This was one of the only weaknesses of the Hexagram Barrier, which was that it could not stop someone without magic power.

It was obvious that the ghoul knew a lot about mages.

Because of the interference of the homeless man, Roosevelt began to be restrained in battle. He could not effectively stop the gathering of the great demonic creature’s body parts.

Roosevelt looked at the great demonic creature who was about to successfully revive, he could only shout helplessly, “Alice!”

On the other side, when Alice heard that the director was summoning her, she immediately used her best trapping technique.

“Ice Prison!” Alice shouted and a large amount of ice elements gathered in the air, quickly gathering towards the ordinary person in front of Roosevelt.

In just a moment, the ordinary person was firmly controlled by the Ice Prison.

Roosevelt seized the opportunity and punched the pieces of rotten flesh.

In an instant, dust flew and rotten flesh scattered in all directions. The place where the rotten flesh had gathered instantly had a huge pit that was smaller than the one outside.

“Hah!” Roosevelt looked at his masterpiece and exhaled.

However, was the great demonic creature really destroyed just like that?

Roosevelt could not help but ask himself that.

After waiting for a while, Roosevelt ordered the Hexagram Barrier to be removed when he realized that there was no more movement from the creature.

He knew that if he removed the Hexagram Barrier now, these people could still be saved.

As Roosevelt gave the order, the Hexagram Barrier dissipated, and a voice was heard.

“Idiot! That was just bait!” The one who spoke was none other than the Great Mage sent by the headquarters, Bill.

“What?”

“Then why didn’t you say anything just now?” Roosevelt said in disbelief.

“Because I want them to know how stupid you are as the person-in-charge!” Bill’s arrogant voice sounded.

Roosevelt: “????”

“Just because of that?” Roosevelt said again in disbelief.

“Yes! I think Washington is a good place, so I plan to be the director here.” Bill acted like he had a lack of intelligence, to the extent where Roosevelt was stunned and could not respond properly.

“Just because of this, you decided to watch as our allies die?” Alice became agitated and she shouted loudly.

“Little b*tch, don’t be anxious. I’ll let you be arrogant for a few more days. When I become the director, I’ll deal with you slowly!”

Alice: “???”

At this moment, Alice felt that the Great Mage sent from the higher-ups was a mentally challenged fool!

“Alright, take a good look at how I deal with this great demonic creature!” Bill’s arrogant voice sounded again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bill casually struck a bolt of lightning towards the center of the crater.

It was a simple bolt of lightning without any flashy display.

However, its power was many times greater than the combination skill just now.

There was no grand scene or loud noise. Everyone only saw a flash of white light. Then, as if a pile driver had pressed down on the pit, a cylindrical pit appeared.

Soon, the monster jumped out of the hole.

Everyone looked at it. It was a humanoid monster with skin as elastic as rubber.

It sounded like a horse, but had the face of a dog and had long sharp claws.

“Kekeke!!!”

“I didn’t expect someone to discover me.”

“Looks like you have the ability of a Great Mage!”

It spoke in a voice that sounded like a baby crying.

Because it lived in graves all year round, its body was full of fungus.

“Initially, I wanted to deceive you guys. But in any case, hello everyone, I’m doing fine.”

“If you insist on fighting seriously, you’ll really make me angry!”

The ghoul’s baby-like cry sounded again.

“I have no choice. I just came here, so I need something to establish my reputation!”

“Incidentally, you’ve been causing trouble lately. That’s why you have to be my target…”

Bill’s arrogant and stupid voice sounded.

“Is that so? Then I really have to take a good look!”

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for humans to detect emotions from the ghoul’s tone.

However, this time, everyone could hear the anger in that baby-like cry.

The Ghoul Demon was truly enraged!

Roar!josei

The great demonic creature howled once before its body grew larger and larger.

In the end, it became more than ten meters tall.

In the eyes of the ghoul, Bill was just a worm now, he was merely a weak worm.

In the eyes of these low-level demonic creatures, the bigger one was, the more impressive they would be.

Bill looked at the ghoul that was more than ten meters tall in front of him, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He shouted loudly, “You are just a bottom-tier ghoul. So what if you evolve into a great demonic creature?”

“I’ll stand here to receive one of your attacks. I’m not bragging, but you can’t even break my defense!”

The ghoul: ????”

Roosevelt: “????”

Alice and the rest of the team: “????”
