Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Just as the giant demon's hand was about to grab Liu Qi, his hand suddenly stopped, trembling slightly.

This was not something he stopped voluntarily; he was forced to.

That slightly trembling hand was a sign of his resistance.

The giant demon was somewhat bewildered. What was going on?

His hands were being suppressed by an invisible force—no, not just his hands, but his entire body was being suppressed by this force.

He sensed it briefly; it was spatial power. He was imprisoned by spatial power, but the spatial power that could imprison him must be immense.

Even high-level space mages cannot do this, not even top-level space mages.

A top-tier spatial mage might be able to kill most monarch-level demons, but immobilizing them using spatial power is a completely different matter.

They can ban demons at the commander level, but they absolutely cannot ban those at the monarch level, especially a powerful monarch like him.

Monarchs like them are almost impossible to ban, but now they are, and while not completely banned, it is still quite shocking.

"What kind of ability is this? It shouldn't be like this. Spatial power has been extremely rare since ancient times. How could it be spatial power?" The large demon was very shocked. This was no small matter.

If the other party were a great mage, I wouldn't be so shocked, but how could a mid-level mage restrain him?

He wasn't drinking, so how could he have witnessed such a thing?

"Why don't you just tell me the situation over there honestly? Why do you have to resort to violence? Don't think you're so great just because you're the monarch. If a fight breaks out, you'll be the one who dies. I'm just too lazy to argue with you."

"So—can you tell me what happened over there now?"

Liu Qi said, and the giant demon fell into a brief silence. A human mage who had restrained him with mid-level power should not be his enemy at all.

Because this was something that should never have happened, but now it happened to a mage, which is very intriguing. Moreover, after this giant demon's attack, it is clear that this person probably has some real strength, not just boasting, and can be considered an equal to him.

"Fine, I'll just say it anyway." The giant demon sighed, ultimately deciding not to turn against Liu Qi.

It's mainly not worth it.

Although he was confident, he was also unaware of the other party's background. Because he had once been human, he was very cautious, unlike other demons.

I never fight a battle I'm not entirely sure I can win.

"I've decided to tell you. Release this spatial power," the giant demon said, and then suddenly felt a sense of relief wash over him.

He stretched for a moment, and although it was brief, the feeling was extremely unpleasant.

"You should have said so earlier. You had to waste both of our time," Liu Qi complained. "So what exactly happened over there?"

"Well---actually, it's nothing much. You know Lord Wu'an, he doesn't allow monarch-level creatures to enter this place. At first, we could only comply. He's very strong, isn't he? So we brought in some of our subordinates to absorb energy and break through the racial blockade, but then some changes happened," the giant demon said.

"Changes?" Liu Qi narrowed his eyes. What kind of changes could make Lord Wu'an break the rules set by this ancient king?

"Yes, things changed. Then someone came."

"An emperor." Liu Qi knew without thinking that only an emperor could make Wu'an Jun back down. In the realm of monarchs, Wu'an Jun was invincible, and no one could do anything about it.

"Yes, an emperor has arrived," the giant demon said. "But that's not quite accurate. From our human perspective, he's not a true emperor, but a sub-emperor. But it's like a sub-monarch versus a commander. No matter how strong a commander is, he can't possibly be a match for a sub-monarch. The same goes for monarchs. Sub-emperors are overwhelmingly powerful." The giant demon spoke with longing.

Without a doubt, he wanted to become an emperor. He had not become a forbidden spellcaster in his human life, and after his death, he wanted to become an emperor. This could be considered as fulfilling his wish in his human life. After all, the emperor and forbidden spellcasting are the pinnacle of two power systems and are often compared.

However...we humans...

The demon's speech still retained habits from his previous life.

"You should know what happened after the emperor and demons arrived, right?"

"I know, Lord Wu'an retreated, and then you all came in. So you weren't the only one," Liu Qi said.

"This is really troublesome. With so many monarchs coming in, things are getting more and more chaotic, and some people will try to take advantage of the situation."

Liu Qi began to think about how to get rid of these troublesome monarchs, since he did not want to be disturbed.

"You're wrong," said the giant demon.

Liu Qi was taken aback. Was he wrong?

What went wrong?

Seeing Liu Qi's bewildered expression, the giant demon pretended to be mysterious and said, "Lord Wu'an... he hasn't regressed."

"No regression?" Liu Qi murmured, then suddenly realized, "You mean Lord Wu'an is fighting the Emperor? That's not a good thing. Although Lord Wu'an is powerful, he's still no match for the Emperor."

"That's natural. An emperor is an emperor, and a monarch is always a monarch. To become an emperor is to ascend to heaven; each one is a chosen one. Becoming an emperor is more difficult than attaining a forbidden curse; each one is a great terror to the world."

"However, I have witnessed it firsthand. Lord Wu'an is indeed worthy of his reputation. He can even hold his own against an emperor for a period of time. Although he was later knocked away and disappeared, he is most likely not dead."

"You know the effects of this ancient tomb, right?"

"You mean the effect on Lord Wu'an alone?" Liu Qi asked.

"Yes, that's it." The giant demon nodded.

"It's like an invincible device, an automatic spring. Lord Wu'an can heal all wounds inside and is basically immortal. But there are limitations, after all, it was created by the ancient king." Liu Qi naturally knew about this.

He knew ancient tombs very well; there was practically nothing he didn't know. He could even guess where the missing tomb bell was and how to ring it, but Liu Qi had no interest in that.

"Yes, that's it. Although we don't know whether Lord Wu'an is alive or dead, we know our limits and won't make too much noise if we come in. Otherwise, Lord Wu'an will still come and kill us. After witnessing his terrifying strength, few dare to oppose Lord Wu'an." Giant said with lingering fear.

He had previously looked down on Lord Wu'an, but after witnessing his battle with the emperor, he realized that although Lord Wu'an was a monarch, he was actually more than a monarch, but not quite an emperor.

Moreover, Lord Wu'an recovered very quickly while in the ancient tomb, so they dared not provoke him at this time.

The most important thing is that emperors cannot enter this place. This is an ancient royal rule. If an emperor enters the tomb, he will be expelled.

In reality, it's self-destruction, because ancient tombs cannot stand against emperors.
