Chapter 491, Section 490: An Absurd Ending
The giant, enormous body of the puffy creature was like a clumsy sandbag in the face of its rage.
Each time the figure wreathed in eerie blue flames flickered, it tore horrifying wounds into the mushroom's body.
It was only thanks to its amazing regenerative capacity that it was not completely destroyed in the first place.
The successive heavy blows blasted large chunks of fungal flesh away. While desperately regenerating, Number Four was also being attacked. Its once majestic appearance was no longer recognizable, and only a huge clump of mycelium was left rolling around on the battlefield in a sorry state.
The scattered mycelial debris piled up like a mountain, its size even exceeding that of the original giant Puji.
Number Four was filled with grievances.
It doesn't understand.
Having gained such immense power for the first time, and having found a worthy opponent to fight, the joy of these two joys overlapped, and this double joy brought even more joy.
What should have been a dreamlike moment of glory, however, why did it turn out like this?
The power of rage is still rising.
Even without any combat skills, relying solely on brute force, the giant beast's regenerative abilities began to fall behind its destructive speed.
The endless regeneration consumes a lot of magic power, and the two skills that rely on magic power to maintain, [Regeneration] and [Mycelial Recombination], are the first to fail.
Although the remaining [Life Essence] can create life force out of thin air, without the assistance of its two underlings, it is no match for the rage at its peak.
With the final heavy punch, Number Four finally ended this arduous mission where he was beaten the entire time and received no glory whatsoever.
Finally killing the troublesome Puji, it angrily shook its energy-surging head, seemingly finally remembering what it hadn't finished.
They took another step toward Alama.
Click—
Turning around, her left foot remained where it was, the eerie blue flames within it gradually dying down, the shattered outer shell losing its support and crumbling into dust with a gust of wind.
Then came the arms, the torso, the head... There was no earth-shattering explosion; it was like burning firewood that quietly went out in silence.
The panel is gone; it's definitely dead.
But for the first time, Lin Jun encountered remains, or rather, fragments, that he dared not dissect.
Lin Jun has never decomposed other major sin possessors.
Logically, as a title, the "Greed" title should be impossible to steal.
But what if? Lin Jun witnessed almost the entire terrifying display of his [rage]. Even if his soul was incredibly strong, it couldn't withstand such burning.
Moreover, why would anyone burn their soul to destroy the world?
However, just because Lin Jun doesn't want to deal with rage doesn't mean that rage won't come knocking on her own.
The debris was blown by the wind, and some of it landed on the remaining fungal carpet.
[Acquire: The Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath]
When this message appeared on the panel, Lin Jun was completely stunned.
A sense of absurdity washed over me like a tidal wave, followed by fear.
Lin Jun reacted swiftly, instantly seizing control of Xiao Xi's body as she was reorganizing the army and preparing to rush to the battlefield to finish things up.
He slammed open the door and frantically stuffed rock sugar and "red wine" into his mouth.
The sweet, crystalline substance mingled with the scarlet liquid, spilling out from the corners of their mouths.
"Eat more, little mushrooms."
Lin Jun, who was stuffing herself with food, suddenly stopped and returned control of her body amidst Xiao Xi's angry roar.
Who is talking to me?
Why does it call itself "Mushroom" instead of "Puji"?
Lin Jun found this thought somewhat familiar; he had heard it before in the mist!
Recheck the panel.
[The Seven Deadly Sins' Wrath: Meteoric Power (Conditions not met, not activated)]
Seeing "Not Activated," Lin Jun breathed a huge sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that he would suddenly develop a fever without any explanation.
At this moment, the rage is grayed out on the panel, as dim as a skill sealed by [Jealousy].
However, what caught Lin Jun's attention was that, in addition to [Rage], there were other things on her panel.
Three lines of numbers.
【153345】
【546433875】
【9453412779】
These figures are fluctuating slightly without any explanation.
Lin Jun couldn't understand their meaning for the time being, which reminded him of the incomprehensible torrent of numbers in the abyss.
But the current phenomenon is clearly unrelated to the abyss; it is the effect of rage.
Recalling the mysterious voice in the mist, the phrase "eat more" clearly did not refer to rock candy.
His gaze swept over the corpses scattered along the route from Sanshan City to the ambush point, and he recalled that the rage seemed to have originated from the mist.
This outburst of rage... could it be that they came here specifically to give me an extra meal?
What is lurking in the mist, watching me all along?
Damn it!
Lin Jun hated the feeling of being manipulated and treated like a toy puppet.
It's time to find some time to engage with the mist...
Of course, life must go on as usual, and we can't miss a single meal.
He's not the kind of fool who would give up all his skills and experience just because of a rebellious streak.
Without any deliberate acceleration, the mycelium naturally covered the battlefield.
The abundant nutrients even allowed the fungal carpet to naturally grow into a large mushroom forest in the days that followed.
The arrival of rage was like a natural disaster, simultaneously destroying the main forces of both humans and demons.
Two demon dukes were destroyed, the human city of Sanshan was ruined, and the archbishop was killed.
But many people still survived.
After enraging and targeting the Three Mountains, the vampire prince Vesalius used the last drop of his "blood of a close relative" to rebuild his body. He then took the two-armed and dying Ern and fled into the sky.
Although Archbishop Ditas died, the holy light he radiated in his final moments was not used to attack the enemy, but rather transformed into countless raindrops of light that showered upon the warriors of the Three Mountains City.
Although the vast majority of human soldiers died in the collapsed Three Mountains City, a considerable number survived in the ruins and, after leaving in a rage, helped each other climb out.
This included Fifteen, who was tightly gripping his master's short sword.
Although the main body of the demon army was slaughtered, quite a few still managed to escape.
However, in any case, this war aimed at destroying the kingdom was already unsustainable.
Unless the emperor is willing to divert other defensive forces from the country, the army that Sigismund is still rebuilding is the only force the empire can currently muster to deal with humanity.
This greatly reduced army continued its southward march, which might cause more disasters for humanity, but it was not quite enough to accomplish the feat of destroying a nation.
Now the empire is being attacked by belated dwarves in the east, and the unusually severe cold in the north has caused natural disasters.
What troubled Mortis the most was that the sealed-off former Demon King had broken free!
This matter posed an even greater threat to the vampire emperor than to the contemporary heroes, and a large number of elite vampire guards were dispatched to various places to investigate the clues.
Therefore, this war, which cost both sides dearly, has come to a temporary end.
Harvesting phase complete.
