Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 265 Level Mushroom

After returning to Tanlie City, Roy realized belatedly that Atidiya might have been affected while taking care of Celine, and felt that life was impermanent.

Or maybe, this is an alternative confession?
As a wizard, he felt that this female centaur was too radical.

But if you think about it from the perspective of believers and followers, it becomes understandable.

For devout believers, death is not necessarily a terrible thing.

What is truly terrifying is having no one to rely on.

Receiving the promise is equivalent to having the guarantee of a destination after death.

She will never be afraid again.

In contrast, Celine may be loyal to herself, but she is not faithful to her faith.

She wouldn't be so radical and fanatical.

After all, her soul did not belong to him, and Roy had no intention of taking her away.

Perhaps, the disappearance of nature is also a kind of liberation.

Back in the mansion, while Roy was thinking, Planjie beside him also tilted her head, wondering what she was thinking.

Suddenly, she asked, "Is there really no way to save her?"

"Ok?"

Roy looked at Planjie, somewhat confused.

“You guy…

In fact, you really cherish her, right? "

Planjie blinked.

“I can tell the difference between reality and ideals.”

Roy said calmly.

"And, Dark Elf, you are overstepping your bounds.

These are none of your business, Celine just looks like your sister, she's not real."

"whispering sound."

Planjie curled her lips.

……

After a while, bad news suddenly came from the secret camp, saying that Ivant had woken up, but had completely lost his past memories and turned into a monster.

He grew wildly like a real mimic mushroom, even threatening other apprentices.

"Lord Roy, he is eating those corpses and other mimic mushrooms!

Although it has not yet developed to where we live, it almost occupies the entire experimental area.

We request to evacuate the camp and move elsewhere!"

"Well, do you have somewhere to go?"

"As a precaution, we have already found a place to stay in a nearby valley. We can move there."

"Then you go over there, I'll check back later."

Roy dealt with some matters in Tanlie City and then rushed back to the old camp.

Sure enough, there were many more human-like mimic mushrooms inside.

They usually grow in the soil, and some hang on the walls, using their hyphae to penetrate nearby corpses, filling the entire experimental park.

Noticing Roy's arrival, the human-shaped figures opened their eyes.

"Hu!"

These flesh-mushroom monsters made threatening noises, suddenly pulled themselves out of the mud, and stumbled forward.

"Have you already started to develop a sense of territory? This is a sign of transformation into a monster..."

Roy's face was heavy.

Behind him, Planjie and Luker each drew their weapons and faced the attacking Mushroom Demon.

After a moment, they showed surprise.

"These actually possess strength comparable to that of a mid-level knight! And they can even hold out for several attacks, unlike those in the past who were fragile and easily dissolved!"

Immediately afterwards, several more meat mushroom demons came from other places and joined the siege.

They actually displayed the strength of a high-ranking knight! The two followers took great pains to cut it down, and when they examined the body, they found some crystallized material similar to stones.

"It's the tumorous demonic source..."

Roy looked at it and recognized the thing.

“No wonder it’s so much better than ordinary meat mushrooms!”

He collected these tumorous magic sources of different sizes and levels, then continued forward and came to where Ivant's real body was.

Only then was he surprised to find that his appearance had changed greatly again.

"Why does it feel even bigger than before?"

Before he left last time, Ivant was only the size of an elephant.

But now, there must be at least 4 or 5 elephants.

This is a bit like the giant fleshworm encountered in the Cretaceous Land.

"This is already a first-level life form, almost approaching the physical level of A-Mo before!"

Luker looked surprised.

As if feeling threatened by the newcomer, the huge monster opened the eyes on its small head.

At the same time, tentacles with eyes stretched out and stared at Roy and others from all directions.

The former apprentice in the tower seemed to no longer recognize him.

Roy looked a little regretful, but he was ruthless in his actions. He took out a large bottle of blackening potion and poured it over.

"what!"

The huge monster let out a terrible roar and quickly melted away.

At the same time, the secret mark that Roy had left on him also took effect quickly.

They touched the nerve branches inside, tightly restraining the monster's body and making it unable to move at all.

In just a moment, more than half of this huge monster, which had reached the level of a first-level wizard, was melted away.

Roy was quick-witted and swift-handed, chopping off the pumpkin-like head.

There might still be some of Ivant's mental consciousness and memories left inside. He planned to see if he could take out the brain, put it into a nutrition capsule or a new body, and try to save it.

At the same time, a fist-sized, grayish-white crystal fell into the black liquid formed by the dissolving flesh and blood.

It was exactly the tumorous magic source from before!

……

"Lord Roy is out."

"How's it going? Is it going well?"

Not long after, Roy came out of the camp, and Ulide and others hurried over to ask him.

"I've already destroyed the main body of the meat mushroom, but it seems to have replicated a lot of its own body during this period, growing and multiplying everywhere. It may even have taken root in the earth veins, forming a stable mushroom group.

If this happens, no more flesh mushrooms can be grown in the camp, as they will all be devoured."

"It's actually like this..."

Ulide and others were a little surprised.

This is completely the habit of the mimic mushroom.

"It seems that becoming a wizard through this method is still too risky."

"Even he, who has the blood of the wood elves, can't do it. We have no hope at all."

"Look at it in a positive way. This is like planting one Ivant and reaping millions of Ivants."

Roy was clearly trying to comfort everyone, but when he said it, it sounded like a joke from hell.

"Perhaps, this valley will continue to grow them. You can come here when you have time to see if you can hunt the fungus and collect tumor-transforming magic sources."

He immediately stretched out his hand and handed them some small particles of tumorous magic source.

“See what you can do with these.

Perhaps, by combining the control method of the puppet technique, we can create an army of flesh mushroom demons through the earth veins here..."

As for the big one.

It was of high value, and Roy kept it for himself, so he didn't give it to them.
