The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Many people may want to capture her for the bounty, but at least for now, we can't take action against them.

The life force relentlessly hindered the members of the Bloodstained Society. If some spellcasters did not cast their spells in time, their mouths, noses, and ears would be completely sealed off, and their hands would be bound by the life force.

Their strength was too low to break free. If they didn't use the tools in time, they would be completely enveloped and suffocated to death without the help of their companions.

These ants had long since lost interest in dealing with her. Maginos carefully observed the wind wall, raised her hand and gently pressed her neck, her life force and psychic energy attaching to the surface of her body, forming a massive shield.

She stepped closer to the wind wall, intending to walk right in.

The fierce wind whipped up wind blades, and the materialized wind energy continuously swept across the shield, scraping away life force and psionic energy bit by bit.

But it was no use; as soon as they were blown off, they would replenish themselves, barely managing to keep Maginus going through the ring-shaped wind wall.

As soon as she entered, the miniature fireballs formed by the fireball spell rushed straight towards the girl.

No living beings have entered the wind wall yet, so it's only natural that Kanin could see Maginus enter and launch an attack.

boom!

Kanin watched the burning flames and billowing smoke with bated breath, praying that Maginus was seriously injured. However, the red mist that appeared around him made him realize that the girl was not fatally wounded.

"Fireball? Hehehe~, don't bother with such a simple trick. Use a stronger spell instead. Or are you afraid I'll kill you with a single sword strike while you're casting it?"

The girl emerged from the flames and smoke with a light laugh. Her face, scorched by the flames, appeared before Kanin. Her injuries were almost completely healed in seconds, and her beautiful face took on an eerie quality due to her wicked smile.

True knowledge and skill!

As his fear deepened, Kanin realized upon hearing the screams that Maginus was capable of killing a mid-level professional.

He had absolutely no confidence in fighting back, and made the right choice immediately: instead of confronting them head-on, he ran away. Survival was more important than anything else.

He used the True Knowledge Technique to ensure he could see in the red mist. In his panic, he tried to use the Mysterious Steps to escape, but nothing happened after he used them.

"Insect, have you forgotten that this place is already locked by the spatial anchor?"

A pleasant voice rang in his ears. Kanin gripped his staff tightly and stared straight at Maginus. He decisively dispelled the Wind Wall spell, raised his fingertip, and released the ring's light to cast a speed boost on himself. He then turned and ran towards his comrade.

Watching his hasty escape, the girl raised her hand to touch her smiling cheek, recalling the scene of her eldest brother's death in battle.

My brother was besieged and killed by these petty scoundrels...

As her fingertips traced her skin, the anger in her eyes intensified. She stomped her feet on the ground, shattering the stone bricks, and she was now behind Kanin, raising her protector.

Dominate humanity!

Sensing danger, he chanted a spell, turned around, and tried to control the girl. It wouldn't take long, just a moment.

However, Maginus did not pause at all after being hit by the magic. With her psionic energy greatly enhanced, her willpower was extremely immune to bewitching spells, making it impossible for her to be manipulated by Kanin.

It should be said that, having the advantage of timing, location, and popular support, her exemption from any form of inspection has now been elevated to an incredible level.

Snapped!

The petite body slammed into Kanin with force, and he felt his bones and organs shift. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His neck was compressed, and he fell to the ground.

The spellcaster's fragile body couldn't withstand the heavy fall, and Kanin immediately passed out. However, Maginus wouldn't let him die so easily.

The girl, whose psychic energy surged and who was quite sensitive to emotions, could sense that the warriors whose life force and psychic energy she had drained had suffered extreme torment before their deaths, and she wanted to use them again.

Numerous wounds appeared, and Kanin's life began to ebb away. Sensing the threat of death, he awoke from his coma and tried to break free of his restraints but was powerless to do so.

Fear, pain, resentment, anger, and despair surfaced in his eyes. Maginus met his gaze, using her psychic powers to sense and enjoy the emotions he exuded.

"It's delicious!"

Watching her enemy turn into a dried-up corpse, she immediately bound his soul and continued to extract energy. When he completely transformed into a soul core and fell, Maginus exhaled a breath of turbid air.

No, not enough.

Maginos felt a sense of satisfaction after killing her enemy, but she was also quite agitated.

There are still so many Bloodstained Society members here. The revenge is not over yet. That guy who called himself a dead survivor must die here, along with these Bloodstained Society ants.

Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all.

The revenge came too easily. Maginus, who had absorbed and controlled the enormous energy, was not satisfied. She turned her gaze to the remaining members of the Bloodstained Society, while glancing at the non-Bloodstained Society professionals out of the corner of her eye.

"call……"

Her body trembled unnaturally as she suppressed her sadistic desires, which she wondered if were instinctive. She raised her hand, stretched out her ten fingers, and moved them slowly as if controlling silk threads, observing the entire area from a god-like perspective.

Someone was rushing towards her. Maginus lightly tapped her fingertip, and a wave of life force surged forth, crashing down on the enemies.

Opening her eyes, she put away her protector, raised her hand to form a longsword of thought, and poured her desire to torment and destroy the enemy's soul into it.

Chapter 317 Chain Reaction

"These... damn... things!"

The members of the Bloodstained Society were exhausted from cleaning up the semi-solid red substance that kept rushing towards them. They looked tired and didn't even dare to waste their energy cursing.

These things are such a hassle; you can't clean them off, and you can't get rid of them.

Unlike high-level warriors who have inexhaustible strength, many professionals, including some mid-level warriors, may have great endurance, but they cannot sustain themselves in high-intensity combat for more than an hour.

The viscous liquid kept splashing towards my mouth and nose. It was like a slime monster, though much weaker than a slime monster. It wasn't very lethal, but it was disgusting enough.

"Haha, well done, Your Highness! I didn't expect even this guy to fall for it!"

"Ahhhh!"

The high-ranking member of the Bloodstained Guild roared as he clashed with another, the aftershocks of their attack dispersing the solidified life force on his body. But as soon as they separated, the nasty, viscous substance would "grow" again.

Maginus ignored the battle between those people. She wasn't arrogant enough to face high-level opponents directly. She planned to test her skills against a few mid-level opponents first, leaving the high-level opponents isolated and helpless.

Stepping toward those closest to Kanin, Maginus gripped her psychic longsword with both hands, exhaled slightly, and aimed her gaze at the spellcasters protected within the crowd.

The surrounding air was pushed aside, and a slight gust of wind emanated from the girl's body. Her speed gradually increased as she moved, and injuries appeared in her muscles and bones, which were instantly repaired.

She suddenly rushed in front of the Bloodstained Society members, using her slightly taller but still petite body to squeeze through the gaps in the crowd.

The others belatedly turned around, only to find that the longsword had already struck the spellcaster in the crowd.

Elastic Magic Ball!

The spellcaster's protective mechanism was passively activated by Maginus's powerful attack, encasing him in an elastic sphere that rendered him unable to affect the outside world.

However, the girl was also unable to launch any attack against her.

Blade storm!

Upon seeing the defensive spell cast by the spellcaster, Maginus's eyes flickered slightly, and she twisted her hands, which were gripping the sword hilt, from side to side.

The longsword that had cleaved through the force field shattered completely, its tiny blades scattering in all directions, most of them landing on the spellcasters.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

One defensive spell after another was activated: Wind Spell, Thunder Wave, Elastic Orb, Stone Skin Spell, Protective Palm...

Maginus was threatened, but not only her, but also the non-spellcasters around her were affected.

They were too close, and shockwaves, flames, strong winds, and ice—all sorts of attacks—fell down, and all the professionals around them were thrown back.

This naturally included Maginus, who could have resisted, but there was no need for her to.

Several impacts struck the girl, causing burns and frostbite to her skin, and her body was also injured by various types of magic.

However, as soon as the injury occurred, her life force replenished her body to repair the wound. The scars caused by these spells were not even comparable to the damage caused when Maginus forcibly enhanced herself.

She was thrown back and crashed into a wall, landing in an empty house. Using the wall as a foothold, she observed the situation of her previous fighting position.

The results were very encouraging. Due to the chain reaction triggered by her Blade Storm, the mages who had not set up bouncy orbs to protect themselves suffered heavy blows from the successive spells cast by their teammates and themselves.

The warriors who were pushed away fared relatively well, but the spellcasters affected by the large amount of magic were instantly turned into a pile of mangled flesh; some died, and those who survived were left barely clinging to life.

With a forceful slap, the life force within the spellcaster, who was barely clinging to life, was forcibly extracted.

Their force field had weakened, and Maginus easily pulled their lives out.

"Ok?"

Some of the souls of the dead mages attempted to flee to distant places, presumably due to the effectiveness of certain soul-protecting spells. In fact, without a dimensional anchor, they would have simply vanished on the spot.

The girl looked up and smiled at the soul that was looking back, then clapped her hands gently again.

A terrifying gravitational pull dragged the fleeing souls away. The spellcasters looked around in horror, seeing things they couldn't see before in their soul form.

A massive vortex of life force formed around them, which they could already see; some spells enabled them to observe it.

But it is precisely because of the obscuring of vitality that they overlook what lies beneath life.

The same immense soul energy is mixed into the life force, stabilizing their form and ensuring that they cannot dissipate.

Maginos can not only manipulate life force, but also such a vast amount of soul energy!

Only then did the spellcasters realize this. Some of the blood-stained spellcasters decisively mobilized the surrounding magic to gather in their bodies, attempting to transform into vengeful spirits or other undead spiritual beings before their soul energy was drained.

Both for survival and to get the message out, their words in their soul form might not be heard by spellcasters, given how noisy the battlefield was.

Once they become immortal, their words can be heard even by ordinary people.

Unfortunately, the girl wouldn't give them that chance. They were pitifully weak because they couldn't protect their souls with magic in such a short time.

The soul that attempted to mobilize magic exploded directly, its energy converging into the vortex, and its core broke free from the spatial anchor, leaving the prime material plane.

Souls exploded one after another. Some spellcasters on the ground vaguely saw this scene and their expressions became slightly solemn: "Soul-corroding with mental blades?"

They knew about the Soulblade class and naturally assumed that Maginus had used Soulblade techniques to kill the escaped soul.

This made the spellcasters, who originally had a backup plan, a little scared. Putting aside the priests, at least the mages and warlocks didn't want to die so early.

Some spellcasters who felt little sense of belonging to the Bloodstained Guild were already planning to retreat; they could simply change their appearance and operate outside in the future.

If mages are willing to spend the time, they can permanently change their appearance, and the Bloodstained Society can't do anything about it. The only thing to worry about is prophetic spells.

……

Regardless of the caster's thoughts, Maginus flicked her hand and reconstituted the mind blade, its black and red colors radiating ferocity and malice.

A strong gust of wind swept in from the side, and the warrior who had been talking to Kanin approached at high speed, swinging his meteor hammer at her.

Sonorous.

"Huh!?"

Using her psychic blade to parry the meteor hammer, Maginus sensed something flowing from her longsword, traveling along the meteor hammer towards the warrior's body.

Immediately following was a muffled groan from him, and the mid-level warrior's expression turned extremely ugly as he stared at the girl in disbelief.

The blade of thought erodes the soul...

Swinging her longsword, the girl, not lacking in malice, infused it with spiritual energy again and charged forward once more.

Chapter 318 Wow, I'm dead!

"Come and help!"

The warrior, unaware of what had attacked him, roared in anger, though some speculated it was the Soul-Eating Blade.

But this means that Maginus has entered the intermediate level. How long has it been since the destruction of Nesery? She has become an intermediate level in just over a year. This is simply too exaggerated.

This is the Slaughter God Child... no, there is also a Slaughter God Child in the Bloodstained Society. He made rapid progress before he disappeared, but he still couldn't achieve her speed of growth.

Was it because she killed the other Slaughter Gods?

What they didn't know was that Maginus not only disposed of the Child of Slaughter, but also absorbed the power of the Child of Fear, making it her own.

"What, you ants, are you afraid of me if you don't attack me? Hehehe."

A light, melodious voice rang out in the mist, the laughter pleasant and even harmless. However, some who saw through the mist noticed the girl's smile and felt a chill run down their spines.

Her smile was beautiful, yet it was also frightening, and the black and red psychic blade longsword in her hand was something that almost no one could look at for long.

The arrogant smile turned into a gentle smile as the girl charged towards the enemy. A group of warriors and spellcasters tried to help, but blood surged towards them once again like a tidal wave, obscuring their vision and entangling their bodies.

No one could come to his aid immediately, so he had to face the enemy alone.

The longsword clashed with the meteor hammer multiple times. Maginus kept subtly adjusting the psionic energy within the longsword, but the restlessness in her heart only intensified because of the meticulous work.

Having not unleashed her Soul-Eroding Blade for a long time, her eyes blazed with fury from pent-up frustration. She abandoned her delicate work and poured all her spiritual energy into the Blade.

"Uh"

Before the psychic blade shattered due to the disorder of spiritual energy, it struck the meteor hammer again. She felt the loss of energy once more. The warrior holding the meteor hammer could not suppress the pain and screamed. He searched for the wound on his body, but could not find it anywhere.

I'm clearly not good at delicate work, so I'll just have to be rough around the edges.

Seeing herself unleash the Soul-Eroding Blade once again, Maginus wondered if she should abandon her reason.
