Chapter 452, Section 451: The Battle of Dragon Roar Valley (Part 2)
Sigismund's roommate's sudden fervor caused him to falter slightly, but he still managed to send the two attacking knights flying with a thud, one of which was even cut in two. Its self-destruction before dying was also blocked by the blood shield that was quickly erected.
"Why?" Sigismund asked quickly in his mind.
"Get it! If you get that Puji, I'll give you more time to control the body every day!" My roommate didn't explain, but instead offered a very tempting deal.
What secrets does that seemingly ordinary Poji hide?
And what does this have to do with my roommate who always disguises his soul as Puji?
Sigismund was filled with doubt, but he forced himself to suppress it and gather his thoughts.
The immediate priority is to deal with Alama. If he wins this battle, Alama's daughter and that Puji will be his for the taking.
He swung his sword again at Alama, who was staggering due to his severed arm.
But at that moment, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from his side; it was the other Puji that had just been repelled!
The creature, Puji, launched itself forward again at an even greater speed than before. Its mycelial tentacles spun rapidly, transforming into a dense storm of blades that blocked its path to Alama.
Sigismund had to change tactics again, unleashing a full-force backhand slash to meet the Blade Whip Storm.
The scene that Puji was expected to be cut in two did not occur.
The blade rubbed violently against the mycelium, producing a tearing sound that made your teeth ache.
The two tentacles snapped off instantly, but the mushroom cleverly used the recoil to flip backward and land on the ground, leaving only a deep cut on its surface.
"Hall of Fame level?!" Sigismund was shocked.
A few days ago, if someone had told him that a legendary Puji existed, he would have thought the person was out of their mind.
But right now, this absurd fact is right in front of us!
What surprised him even more was that, in the brief interval of this exchange, the mycelium at the severed tentacle and the cuts on its body wriggled wildly and regenerated and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"A regeneration speed even faster than a troll?" This completely overturned his understanding.
However, it's still not enough!
The absurdity in his heart made him eager to end the battle before him; he didn't want to see any more unexpected things happen: "Blood Manipulation - Hundred Weapons!"
This move is much less effective against Alama who has a Sunstone, but it's more than enough to deal with a Hall of Fame Puji!
A massive amount of blood from the battlefield converged wildly, and then began to take shape!
Knife, spear, sword, halberd, axe, hammer...
Countless weapons made of congealed blood instantly took shape, as if held by an invisible army, transforming into a destructive storm that swept towards the knight from all directions!
Moving nimbly at high speed, while wielding the blade whip to its fullest extent, it desperately dodged and parried in the blood storm, producing a continuous clang of metal against metal, with carapace fragments and broken hyphae flying everywhere.
However, when a blood-stained throwing knife broke through the defense and pierced Puji's buttocks, Puji's movements froze.
The subsequent attacks instantly overwhelmed the Puji, and in just a breath, the powerful Hall-level Puji was completely torn into countless flying fragments of mycelium!
The entire thrilling exchange, from the knight's sudden attack to his complete annihilation, lasted less than a minute.
However, that brief minute was enough.
In the distance, Inanna, with tears in her eyes, rushed to the side of the sunstone greatsword that had fallen to the ground and whose light had dimmed.
Without the slightest hesitation, she used all her strength to lift the heavy sword and pressed the radiant sunstone in the center tightly against her only remaining knight, Puji.
The next moment, the wind picked up.
[Family Creator]
Waaah—!
Within the narrow valley entrance, a terrifying hurricane suddenly appeared out of nowhere, whipping up a storm of rubble and blood.
The first to realize the impending doom were the mages on both sides, who were most sensitive to magic.
In their perception, the magical energy that was originally as chaotic as a tangled mess within Dragon Roar Valley was now being swept up by the whirlwind and surging wildly toward the center of the storm.
On the ground, whether it was the long-dead Puji wreckage, the Puji still fighting, or the fungal carpet growing on the rock walls... all the mycelium created by Lin Jun's power was like iron filings attracted by a magnet, detaching from the ground and rock walls, pulled up by an irresistible force, and flowing into the ever-increasing whirlwind!
Magic was being frantically compressed, and mycelium was being forcibly reorganized... Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, a shadow large enough to block out the moonlight began to slowly condense at the center of the chaotic vortex.
Pfft—Chirp—
A colossal object, almost blocking the entire valley and requiring all the demon soldiers to crane their necks to see its full form, suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Its round mushroom cap almost reached the rock walls on both sides, casting a shadow that swallowed up a large area, even obscuring the light of the three moons in the sky.
"What...what is that?" A demon soldier's spear trembled slightly.
“A… a behemoth-level… pfft?” another officer muttered to himself, his face filled with absurdity and horror.
"So big..."
This unimaginable scene even brought a moment of silence to the originally deafening battlefield, leaving only the crackling of flames and the groans of the wounded.
Even Inanna, the instigator, stared blankly at the massive, mountain-like silhouette, her pink lips slightly parted, unable to utter a single word.
It wasn't until Lin Jun's reminder echoed in her mind that she snapped back to reality and rushed toward the fallen Alama, trying to drag him away from the danger zone.
"Don't even think about it!" Sigismund's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his hand, several blood spears that had solidified to form tore through the air and shot straight at Inanna's back with a sharp whistling sound!
However, the colossal, massive body shifted slightly to the side, becoming a mobile fortress between Inanna and Blood Spear.
Buzz—
A massive mycelial tentacle, thicker than a troll's waist, suddenly lashed out with a tearing sound and slammed into the blood spears.
boom!
The blood gun exploded the instant it made contact with the tentacles, scattering dark red blood and broken mycelium in all directions.
But the next moment, the grotesque severed part of the tentacle began to writhe wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, with mycelium intertwining, and it quickly returned to its original state.
Meanwhile, under Sigismund's control, the splattered blood quickly reformed.
With a heavy "thud," the giant beast took a step forward.
Before it, a defiant troll roared and swung its heavy iron club, slamming it down on Puji's foot, sending up a spray of broken mycelium.
However, the attack was futile. The giant beast's massive, round feet slammed down without pause, crushing the troll and his roar into the earth, leaving no trace.
Within the demonic ranks, some cowardly goblins were so terrified by this incomprehensible behemoth that they ran away in panic, desperately pushing themselves backward.
Even the bravest warriors, faced with such a massive size, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as they gripped their weapons.
But Sigismund was clearly not among those who were frightened; although Puji was large, he had seen much larger abyssal beasts.
Although the scene before him was equally shocking to his understanding, his fighting instincts did not falter in the slightest.
With a flash of blood-red light, more than ten newly condensed blood-red weapons instantly transformed into streaks of crimson light, as if shot from a crossbow, slamming into the giant beast's left foot, which was supporting its body.
The enormous creature, having lost its balance, suddenly tilted forward, looming over the vast swarm of demon soldiers below like a collapsing mountain, eliciting screams of terror.
However, it did not actually fall. Four thick mycelial tentacles braced against the rock walls on both sides, supporting its body which was about to topple over.
Sigismund launched another offensive, firing more than ten Blood Soldiers with a whoosh, their targets the two tentacles supporting his body on the left. Amidst a series of explosions, the tentacles were severed once more.
But the giant beast still stubbornly maintained its balance. In just a few breaths, its shattered left foot had been mostly restored and it was firmly planted on the ground.

Watching the mycelium surge and the tentacles constantly regenerate, Sigismund finally realized the situation was getting difficult.
"All troops, listen to my command! Concentrate your firepower and attack!" His order jolted the shocked demons awake.
In an instant, swords slashed, arrows flew, and various magical lights lit up, raining down on the giant beast's massive body.
However, the attacks of ordinary soldiers were vastly different from those of Sigismund.
Fireballs could only leave a charred mark on the surface of the mushroom; the half-demon warriors slashed with all their might, but their blades got stuck deep in the tough mycelium; even the arrows shot by the best soldiers often only penetrated halfway, and sometimes couldn't even pierce through the giant mushroom.
The behemoth seemed completely ignoring the ticklish attack. It simply continued its heavy, slow pace, advancing step by step through the narrow valley entrance, forcing the entire demonic line to retreat involuntarily.
Behind Puji, Inanna was urging the human soldiers to quickly retreat back into the valley.
Several agile vampires and half-demons attempted to use their speed to bypass Puji.
[Infrasonic Attack LV9]
An invisible, destructive force suddenly spread out from the giant beast Puji! This low-frequency sound wave bounced and amplified wildly between the narrow valley walls, increasing its power dramatically.
Some human soldiers who hadn't managed to get away immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
The demons who were closer suffered annihilation.
Within a radius of tens of meters around the behemoth, both agile units attempting to advance and heavily armored soldiers on high alert collapsed in droves from the silent attack.
Blood was seeping from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses; their internal organs had been shattered, and their fate was unknown.
Even Sigismund himself, caught off guard and too close to the target, took the hit head-on. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and two streams of blood immediately spilled from the corners of his mouth.
He immediately manipulated his blood to form a constantly flowing protective shield around his body, which barely managed to isolate him from the subsequent sound wave damage.
The bizarre and terrifying sight before them instilled even greater fear in the demon army, which was already intimidated by the colossal creature. Their offensive involuntarily halted, and they hesitated to advance in fear.
"Don't retreat!" Sigismund wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Even the strongest regeneration needs energy! Burn it with flames! Pour it with corrosive liquid! Beat it to death, beat it until it can't grow back anymore!"
Under his strict orders and organization, the demons' attacks became fierce again. Oil was thrown out, and the enchanted flames continued to burn the fungus. Some corrosive magic also landed on Puji, making a "sizzling" sound.
However, at this moment, the giant beast Puji made a puzzling move. Its huge body slowly sank down, eventually sitting down on the spot like a small mountain.
"Insufficient energy?" a demon officer guessed with delight, drawing his bow even faster.
Hidden at the bottom of the unseen Puji, the knight Puji, having removed the Sunstone, used the giant Puji as cover to slip into the underground network tunnels and quickly slithered away.
After doing all this, Lin Jun kindly shrieked in Sigismund's mind, "Little Sigismund, run!"
"What? Could it be?" Sigismund guessed a possibility.
Soon, the bad premonition came true.
A terrifying surge of violent energy suddenly emanated from the motionless giant beast, Puji!
The feeling was like a volcano about to erupt, accumulating devastating power within.
Even Veralis, who was engrossed in the battle above, was drawn to this energy fluctuation.
Sigismund, who was closer, suddenly had his pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints, and countless streams of blood were drawn up and used as a shield in front of him.
Boom!!! (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month)
