Brain bloom

The flesh and blood, which had been full of vitality, suddenly became shriveled. The seed, seemingly well-fed and watered, was brewing something.

“Princess, although I’m used to it, but this… what kind of evil natural magic is this… I’ve never seen it before?” Mori couldn’t help but ask.

Volume 1 #258: A Troublesome Trapped Beast

"No, I didn't use any evil magic."

"Although you say that... I don't really believe it." As he spoke, Mori continued to manipulate the two Pope's hand bones, but he couldn't find a good opportunity to chat.

"Hmph. It really isn't."

The dandelion introduces its magic in a unique way.

"This is the 'Flower of Peace' for the deceased, allowing the body to perish gracefully, and the soul to be bathed in natural fragrance, finding peace. I think this unknown powerful being would not want his body to be manipulated by the ominous mist."

If that's the case, then Sen Shi can accept it. Perhaps, the dandelion has unusually shown the kind side of a seasonal being? She's still not quite sure...

The dandelion continued, "The flowers of peace that grow are beautiful; the stronger the corpse was in life, the more beautiful it is."

"pretty?"

"Well, it has no other use besides being pretty. And it can't last long... When the soul completely dissipates, it will perish along with life, symbolizing the end."

Mori breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the seeds would produce some kind of bizarre plant, like a "flesh golem" or a "bloodthirsty wild plant." He never expected that his princess was simply attending someone else's funeral.

She was able to relax and focus on her own battle.

This guy named Ye Ling is really tough to deal with, extremely tough indeed, no wonder he's a level 97 powerhouse. Even in death, after losing his mind, he remains just as formidable.

Although her fighting style of sweeping her tail around was rather comical, it was very effective... Mori couldn't find a good opportunity to purify her... Helpless, he had to ask the dandelion for help.

Even if you try to restrain her by using a large number of vines created with intermediate-level magic, Ye Ling will simply raise the small scales on her body to cut off the vines...

With great difficulty, Sen Shiteng created several ice walls himself, finally managing to pin the Pope's head down with his hand bones. But the anticipated purification did not follow…

Sen felt a chill in his heart.

This guy is stronger than Sen Shi imagined; the divine aura emanating from just one hand is not enough to defeat him.

Not only that, it seems that Sen Shi has stepped on a landmine.

Before, we used toys to tease the cat, but now it's become a real battle.

Ye Ling was angry because it hurt when she was touched by the divine aura.

What was originally just a thick tail has gradually grown longer and expanded, as if it has unleashed its true power.

In just a few seconds, its tail became longer than three Arhats stacked on top of each other, and could probably easily smash down a tall building, not to mention the razor-sharp scales on it.

"...Isn't this a bit bad?" Dandelion asked worriedly, sensing that something was amiss.

"Hmm...we might have to prepare to escape."

Dandelion's situation wasn't going too well either. Although she had buried the other's flesh and blood, the bones were occupied by the evil mist, which would be difficult to dispel in the short term.

Sen Shi first withdrew her hand bone and then turned to the other two puppets, praying that these two monsters would have enough experience to help her reach level 50 before using the new weapon to deal with Ye Ling.

Fortunately, it went relatively smoothly.

The messenger from the far north was the first to be sent away. Not only was he half-crippled, but he also seemed to retain a lingering will to be purified. When the hand bone touched it, a slow purification process halted its movement.

The skeletons scattered, and a wisp of ominous mist that occupied one of them quickly fled towards the sky.

However, he could not escape the wind blades of the forest.

"Four Seasons, thank you for your help... for lending a hand."

Bayer sheathed his sword, finally getting a moment to catch his breath. But he couldn't help staring at the hand bone, finding it hard to accept, wondering if this was how all the Four Seasons Warriors fought?

Meanwhile, the dandelion seeds were still developing, which greatly delayed the other side's actions.

"Have you had enough of your flowers?" Mori asked.

"Ah."

"Then I'll send him on his way."

This went even more smoothly. He had already lost most of his power to the seed, and he was the weakest one here. He didn't even leave behind a skeleton; instead, he turned into a pile of dust.

Dandelion searched through the ashes and found the seed that was still developing, while Sen turned to the only remaining night embers.

Her plan failed...

The higher the level, the more experience is required. Even if you cleanly and efficiently steal the heads of two high-level monsters, it's only enough to level up to level 49. Although the experience points have increased by more than half, they are not yet at the maximum value.

This is a big problem—Mori Shi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Ye Ling's body was still intact, and the combat power she displayed was significantly different from the other two. She remained silent because she was unleashing even more power; her scale tail was even growing stronger…

She was utterly enraged and seemed determined to turn Moritoki into mincemeat with the most brutal attack.

“This is a tough nut to crack. Shall we press our advantage?” Bayer walked over to Sen Shi, who was still barely able to fight.

"Yes, that's the only way... Don't hold back as much as you can. I have a few magic scrolls here, let's burn them together later..."

Dandelion suddenly felt puzzled: "Mori, is this a formidable enemy? Strange, where's your bow?"

This question really struck a chord with Mori.

"It...sigh, it's gone from me..."

Even if it were here, it wouldn't be of much help; corpses are destined to be poor. Thinking this, Mori felt somewhat relieved. But the formidable enemy still had to be faced… Perhaps the state of a true god could secure victory, but the cost of using it even once was too high.

Helpless, she leaned close to Dandelion's ear and whispered something in her ear—

"Great Princess of the Four Seasons, do you have any unique tactics against the Evil Mist?"

"I'm sorry, I..."

--"careful!"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew by—it was the giant tail that had swept in. Mori picked up the dandelion, and the two of them brushed past the edge to avoid the sudden attack.

The ground was cracked with huge craters, as if it had been hit by a small meteorite.

Ye Ling's giant tail delivered a sudden downward slam. Although Ye Ling was holding onto its tail, it was gritting its teeth and looked extremely strained.

"Damn it, why can't they let people finish speaking? Why did they suddenly start fighting?! These rude and unethical monsters!" Mori complained loudly.

“Mori, I am powerless to help you. Her power even suppressed the will of the Evil Mist… Even if I were to do something, I probably couldn’t stop her will to kill you.”

"Such a powerful monster, damn it, how on earth could it be eaten by such a weak Evil Mist?!"

Before they could finish speaking, the tail was swung again, sweeping towards Sen Shi. She used all her strength to pick up Dandelion, stepped on a gap in the building next to her, and did a double jump, barely managing to dodge it together.

Upon landing, Senshi angrily pulled out a magic scroll, on which was recorded her Firebird Hundred Cries.

But before she could retaliate, a strange magical fluctuation came from behind. Sen Shi remembered that this was the fluctuation of law magic... In the entire Silvermoon City, only one person was skilled in this: Man.

"I... am late."

"Man!"

"Baier, I'm just glad you're safe."

Ye Ling's body was bound by a circular restraint. It seemed to be some kind of imprisoning magic, small in scale, as if it was barely used with all its might.

The circle covered her, but her tail was too long to completely cover her, as if leaving a small door that blocked it.

The once thick and powerful scaly tail now only had a cute little tip sticking out of the restraints. Although it struggled desperately to poke Sen Shi to death, it was never quite close enough...

Volume 1, Chapter 259: Ascent

Unlike before, when he sealed off a large area of ​​the sea with a single move, Man's magic this time was much smaller in scale. Sen Shi and Dandelion were both watching him, and they had to look closely to see him clearly.

Because this soul is like water in a glass, so faint as to be almost invisible.

"Now's the time... This is all I can do for you." His tone was indifferent.

"I know."

"Then I too..."

"Don't interfere, it will affect the results. I'll do it." Mori said in an unyielding tone, stopping Bayer from raising his sword to help.

This head is crucial; it cannot be taken away.

Mori took out all the magic scrolls and lined them up on the ground. Although she wouldn't have had the opportunity during a normal battle, this was different; she could take a little time to simultaneously draw upon the power contained within all the magic scrolls.

During this time, she heard the two old friends behind her chatting idly, which made her feel particularly sad.

"Lord Balzac... I'm sorry, I can't get him to come. I thought of asking the Demon Queen and the Four Seasons for help, but it's night, and I'm more worried about the front lines. If you die, Silvermoon City is finished."

"I thought the Four Seasons were reinforcements you called in. What a pity."

"Fortunately, the situation has improved now."

"Although I feel very sorry for them, 'the messenger from the far north,' 'Argolis,' has found peace."

Man suddenly realized that these were all famous figures from the previous era; no wonder they were so troublesome after being swallowed by the Evil Mist. Fortunately, with the help of the Four Seasons Warriors, the situation was almost resolved.

“Next up is the last one.” Man chuckled self-deprecatingly. “After that, it’s me.”

"I'm sorry, Man, I don't have the money to buy you a burial plot because of the fees I've already paid..."

Sen Shi grew annoyed and casually covered his ears with a few leaves. These middle-aged and elderly people, who had adventured around the world in their youth and held the title of "heroes," always spoke with an awkward air about them. Perhaps this was what was called romantic sentiment?

If she were alive, perhaps she could understand all of this from a male perspective, but now it has become very difficult.

"—Wait!" Man suddenly became emotional.

Sen Shi was also startled, and the large magic array he was preparing almost went wrong.

Bayer hurriedly asked, "W-what's wrong? You value that graveyard that much? Fine, I'll leave Silvermoon City and become an adventurer again. I'll save up a plot of land for you in three days."

"This person is actually... No, we can't kill him. At least we must return his body intact."

"What? You know him?"

"Yes... this is Ye Ling, a famous figure from the Chaos Lands and a gourmet of the wilderness..."

"I know, it's that legendary gourmet! She ate her way from the East to the Land of Chaos... She ate everything she saw, from mountain bandits to her own tail, to the coffin bearers' chapel in the countryside... She really ate a lot of things..."
