Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Chapter 499 - 489: Catastrophe of Wrath

Amidst resounding bell-like crashes, the defense magic barriers inscribed on the walls of Three Mountains City burst repeatedly, breaking faster and faster.

As the last barrier shattered like glass, the entire mountain town began to violently tremble. The walls built against the mountain fractured, and half the mountain peak crumbled with deafening roars.

Massive stones rolled down with tower wreckage, crushing buildings beneath them into ruins.

A pure Holy Light suddenly broke through the smoke and dust, enveloping the entire mountain. But this light only lasted a few breaths before disappearing with another muffled explosion.

In the distance, Xenophon and another Blood Race Duke reined in their mounts after just defeating Alama’s reinforcements.

The Pigman Duke squinted toward Three Mountains City: "Is that Visarius’s contingency?"

"No," the Blood Race Duke recalled the blood curtain that appeared in the sky not long ago, "it should be something brought by His Majesty."

At this moment, the smoke and dust rising from Three Mountains City suddenly began to roll toward their location.

Xenophon snorted twice through his pig nose, gripping his blood-stained battle axe: "I have a bad feeling."

"Here it comes!"

A twisted figure raced forward at a speed beyond visual capture.

The Blood Race Duke raised his arms at the critical moment, and a massive dark red Blood Shield quickly condensed in front of the army.

Boom—!

The Blood Shield couldn’t hold for even a moment. The figure crashed right through it, and the splintering blood crystals shot backward like bullets, killing numerous Demon Race soldiers.

The figure passed through the Blood Shield, colliding directly with the Blood Race Duke. He didn’t even have time to show an astonished expression, exploding into a mist of blood like a water bag hit by a battering ram.

The figure slammed heavily into the ground.

The earth trembled violently as though struck by a meteor, a ring-shaped shockwave spreading out with rubble, shattering Demon Race soldiers within tens of meters.

Xenophon was flung away by the shockwave, the thick Pigman hide rent with countless tears.

He scrambled to his feet, unable to believe his eyes: "What on earth is that?!"

The figure slowly stood up from the crater.

The original human outline had long vanished, the shattered shell propped up by the surging azure flames within, swelling over two meters high, the head replaced by spurting energy, with no recognizable features.

To Xenophon, this guy wasn’t human, but rather some deadly Elemental Creature.

"Roar—!"

The inhuman roar made the air ripple in waves.

Xenophon wasted no time activating his trump cards; War Fury made his muscles bulge, Bloodthirsty Technique turned his eyes solid red, and Ancestral Totem condensed six blood-colored halos behind him.

He gripped his longtime partner "Slaughterer," its axe blade turning crimson amid tremors.

Then his world froze.

The azure figure was already standing face to face without him even noticing.

Xenophon didn’t see the motion, only felt a chill in his chest.

He looked down, seeing only a large hollow in the middle of his corpulent body.

His battle axe was still raised in the air, all the glow of his explosive skills fading, one by one.

"Impos... sible..."

The instant death of the two Commanders shattered the morale of the Demon Race army.

The soldiers scattered and fled like frightened beasts. Yet that burning figure did not stop its slaughter against them.

In truth, Demon Race soldiers were not without hope of escape.

Relying entirely on primitive visual tracking, Fury provided a slim chance for escape.

Mages using invisibility magic seamlessly blended into the air undetected, scouts disguised with camouflage nets clung to rock walls or burrowed into piles of bodies, easily eluding her.

Of course, these escape methods carried risks; hiding only to be killed by a wide-range damage attack was common.

Moreover, as long as soldiers parted from the main force, fleeing far away could ensure survival. Fury’s attacks persisted aggressively toward areas where Demon Race gathered.

Once the Demon Race army was completely scattered into small escaped groups, the figure finally changed direction, charging towards its final target—the retreating remnants of Alama.

...

Lin Jun thought that the stone tablet sinking at the bottom of the lake might prove useful.

If sent to Pink Puki, his father could soon make use of it.

Lin Jun had almost figured out the situation with Fury; the soul of this creature was burning.

From humans to Demon Race, from lowly civilians to masters like Sword Saints, Lin Jun had tasted countless souls and witnessed countless deaths.

No matter if killed by swords, eaten by demons, burned, drowned, or corroded to death, no matter how tragic, none seemed to impact the soul.

After death, as bodies disappeared, souls would emancipate, fusing into the world.

Yet the annihilation of a soul... was something Lin Jun never experienced before.

Nonetheless, Fury’s unleashed power was outrageously formidable.

Currently, Fury had already surpassed the Emperor just by panel Attributes, escalating further.

Of course, from the Inspiration perspective, her "fuel" was running low.

But handling Alama was likely achievable.

Glancing at Pink Puki still struggling in the mycelium, Lin Jun decided to act.

Creator of Retainers

A magic vortex suddenly surged on the besieged battlefield, sweeping in the remnants of countless fallen Pukis and surface mycelium.

Meanwhile, Number Four Puki, still complaining about Pink Puki’s slow movement within the mycelium channels, suddenly kicked both legs, stopping dead.

Lin Jun extracted its soul, inserting it into the forming giant beast Puki.

As the magic vortex dissipated, the enormous Puki crashed to the ground.

Puki—Mi—

Having unexpectedly changed bodies, Number Four Puki dazedly looked around, finding everything seemed exceptionally small.

"Stop idling, block her!" Fury’s speeding image was directly transmitted into Number Four Puki’s consciousness.

"This Power... this size! No problem, Mushroom Lord!"

Despite Giant Beast Puki’s dazzling presence, it didn’t seem to be within Fury’s attack targets, calmly intending to pass by its feet.

Fury’s speed was astounding, forcing Number Four Puki to continuously use Detection Skill just to barely track her trajectory.

Though unable to match the speed, Number Four Puki had an overwhelming physique advantage!

Spreading four mycelium tentacles side by side, forming a giant wall sweeping towards Fury.

"Fly away, hahaha!"

Naive Number Four hadn’t realized what they were facing.

As the diminutive figure collided with the four giant tentacles, there was a muffled blast, tentacles shattering abruptly.

And Fury finally focused its attention on the Giant Beast Puki attacking it.

Number Four Puki stared blankly at its broken tentacles, momentarily wondering if they were paper-made.

Lin Jun: Plan successful.
