The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Kercia has no use for it anyway; she's not good at necromancy or body modification magic. Maginus can keep them and give them to Bennia later.

After dealing with several secondary rooms, the group continued onward, gradually approaching the lich's main room. Along the way, they acquired a considerable amount of magical items and equipment, and even the poorest member, Ajak, could be said to have upgraded from a ragtag bunch to a fully equipped one.

After confirming that there were no remaining curses on his equipment, he replaced all his accessories with magical equipment.

Upon reaching the intersection, Nei Ke stopped and gestured for everyone to remain still, then peered to the right.

A colossal steel golem wielding a giant hammer stood motionless before the bedroom, flanked by five animated armored figures. Though they appeared to be ordinary statues, the magic they contained compelled one to exercise caution.

Maginot, who had remained inactive until now, finally spoke:

"Leave the steel golem to me, you can't handle it. Watch out for the ethereal creatures around you."

This golem should be of mid-level strength. Its hard shell makes it difficult to damage with ordinary attacks, and it is also immune to magic, making it even more difficult to kill.

With vengeful spirits and ghosts lurking around, even if they lure away the Iron Golem, it will still be difficult for Neko and the others to deal with the monsters.

Tell them to step back, and Maginus emerges from around the corner, standing in front of the golem and entering its field of vision.

The previously calm golem suddenly trembled, magical flames ignited beneath its helmet, and the armored figures followed suit.

Seeing that it still had a startup time, the girl decisively pulled the giant sword, leaped up, and swung it down at the golem's head.

The blade, tinged with blood, struck its arm with a sharp scraping sound, leaving a slash mark on the steel arm but not severing it completely.

At this moment, the golem regained its mobility and threw a punch at Maginus at an extremely fast speed. The girl jumped away first and retreated quickly. The golem, which did not have much intelligence, took a big step to chase after it, while the more slow-starting activated armor was left behind.

Seeing that Maginus had lured away the steel golem, the group that had been hiding in the corner immediately rushed toward the living armor and began their operation according to the previous plan.

boom! boom!

A continuous buzzing sound echoed throughout the tomb as Maginus and the golem moved through the corridors. She used the golem's power to destroy any traps that might be there, or to make them hit other monsters or constructs.

The actions were mainly based on dodging and evasion. Maginus pulled the golem away and stepped on the wall, then suddenly jumped back to the side of the steel golem. Her body spun in the air, and the greatsword struck the spot where she had previously slashed, deepening the opening.

The golem swung its fist, the force of which stirred up dust from the surrounding area.

Maginos raised her sword to block, but the huge fist struck the blade and sent her flying. Her internal organs and bones were ruptured, but were immediately repaired.

As for the weapon itself, there are no cracks left. This greatsword was given to me by Nia, so its hardness is definitely not an issue.

Bloodlust False Armor.

Blood mist emanated from her body. Maginos kicked a brick in the ground to stop the impact and continued forward. Solidified life force provided propulsion from behind, further accelerating her sprint.

As a streak of blood, the girl swung her giant sword and severed the golem's arm completely. She then stepped onto the wall, used her psionic energy to turn around, and ran along the wall.

Flying over eaves and walking on walls.

The relatively narrow passage gave Maginus the opportunity to dodge freely. The golem's enormous body made it difficult for it to launch its attacks. Once the girl found her footing, it was hard to hit her, and she could only be forced to accept the attacks.

Seizing an opening in the greatsword's attack, the steel golem swung its remaining arm and slammed it down on Maginus. Upon seeing this, Maginus stomped her leg on the ground, and a large number of crimson crystals instantly appeared on her back and legs.

The sword blocked the fist, and the impact entered the girl's body through the greatsword. She should have been sent flying backward, but with the help of the life force crystal, she was only pushed back a few steps.

Correspondingly, even though the false armor and magical light armor blocked some of the impact, Maginus's body still suffered fractured bones and internal organ damage from the golem's fierce blows.

Its defenses are still a bit weak, which is why Maginus wanted to improve its defenses by following the example of dragons.

The repair was completed in the next second, and Maginus continued to clash head-on with the golem. During this time, she deliberately restructured her body, and her muscles and bones gradually hardened, temporarily reshaping it to resemble the flesh and blood of a dragon.

While her skin developed keratinous growths resembling dragon scales, Maginus's body structure did not resemble that of a dragon; she remained in a human form and was well-controlled.

Chapter 390 Life-Stealing Ritual Spells

Maginot's fighting style should be quite diverse, but she prefers a simple and straightforward style, which basically means she uses sheer force to send bricks flying.

Of course, it's also related to golems. Golems are something that most magic is ineffective against, and you can only fight them by using your strength and throwing bricks. It's similar to pulling the enemy to your level and then using your rich experience to defeat them.

After several close exchanges, Maginus successfully dislocated the golem's left arm. With its arm gone, the golem's attack methods were greatly reduced. Since it didn't have any other offensive capabilities, it could only be easily destroyed in the end.

Pulling out the golem's core and crushing it, the elemental spirit trapped within was released, and the golem imprisoned in the core was immediately rejected by this plane and disappeared into space.

The golems made by liches belong to the type that do not require external power; their energy comes from the imprisoned spirits.

After finishing her business, Maginus returned to check on the four. At this time, Neko and the others were resting against the wall, looking extremely tired. The activated armor had been completely removed, and the negative energy in the air had increased. Some ghosts tried to take advantage of the situation, but unfortunately, they failed.

"Take a short rest, there's no need to rush."

Negative energy in the air can affect the human body, but with Maginus, none of this is a problem. All four of them are currently in poor condition. From her perspective, the negative energy is like maggots constantly trying to invade their bodies.

She raised her hand and patted everyone's shoulder, and life force surged in to enhance their vitality. The negative energy that had seeped into their skin and caused their organs to weaken was quickly cleared away.

Ajax, the only one unaware of what was happening, only felt a tap from Maginot, and his body instantly felt relaxed, which greatly surprised him.

"Captain Ilsis, you're a priest?"

"Knows some minor techniques to aid recovery, but doesn't count as a priest."

After resting for a while and waiting for everyone to recover their strength, Neko was the first to rest. She pushed open the bedroom door and went in to check first, followed by Maginos.

Her gaze swept around, recalling the characteristics of the items Nia had described to her. She looked around but did not find what the snake-man wanted. Instead, she saw some rather novel things.

In the corner of the lich's bedroom, two boxes lay flat together, looking exactly the same.

Inside, they carefully approached to examine one of the objects and found it covered in protective magic, while the other had no protective measures at all and was just placed there plainly, looking more like a trap.

"Woo..."

The cat, unable to identify the situation, stepped back slightly, intending to wait for the specialists to handle it. A short while later, Khsia and the others entered the room, and Ajak, looking at the luxurious bedroom, felt an irresistible urge to get his hands on the cat.

After asking Neko which places were safe, he immediately went to some furniture, took out a small knife, and began to carefully loot gold, silver, and gems.

"So if liches don't need to rest, why do they have bedrooms?"

Looking at the exquisite layout and scenery around him, Ajax felt something was off. He casually remarked, "It's probably because of the nostalgia for his life that it was specially made. And this place might actually be used as a study rather than a bedroom."

After carefully dealing with the magic in the other locations, Kxia scavenged several exquisite and beautiful ornaments and some one-time-use magical items. Finally, she stood in front of the two treasure chests, somewhat hesitant.

"Strange, this treasure chest doesn't seem to have any protective or triggering magic. Ilsis, have you noticed anything?"

She turned back and asked Maginus. The girl, through her life force, roughly understood what was going on. She gestured for Kxia to step back, walked directly to the treasure chest that had no magical protection, and aimed her greatsword at the chest.

The giant sword slammed down, and the metal treasure chest "opened" after being hit several times, revealing two items inside.

A leather book that emanates an extremely malevolent energy.

There was also a bone pen. Compared to the books, this pen, although made of bone, did not have much of an evil reaction on it, only an increasing magical fluctuation. This was the pen that Nia asked Maginus to find.

Reaching into the treasure chest to put the pen away, Maginus took out a leather book and casually tossed it aside, ignoring the magically enchanted chest. She then turned and gestured for everyone to leave together.

"Let's go."

"Hey, isn't there a treasure chest here?"

Brian pointed to the unopened treasure chest, and the others looked puzzled. Maginus glanced at the chest and said, "That's a clone."

Mimicry monsters, also known as shapeshifting monsters, are creatures that can transform into boxes, and are called treasure chest monsters.

The lich created two treasure chests and even enchanted the mimic, clearly intending to use reverse psychology to mislead people into believing that the seemingly ordinary chests actually contained undetectable magical traps, thus enticing them to open the other chest that could detect the magical traps.

When a spellcaster finishes all the magic, what awaits him is not treasure, but the tongue and teeth of a mimic monster—just thinking about it is quite morbidly funny.

Kshia and Ajak shuddered, feeling a lingering fear. After all, they were spellcasters, and their defensive and reaction capabilities were rather limited.

Rubbing the leather book in her hands, Maginus was pretty sure it was made of elven leather. As she flipped through the pages, some curses and negative energy tried to affect her through her hands and eyes, but they were easily blocked and dissipated.

After flipping through it for a moment, it seemed to be the lich's spare spellbook, which recorded many of his spells, as well as some ingenious ideas, though it appeared they had not yet been implemented.

"Kshia, see if this works."

Kxia handed the leather book to the half-elf princess, but she didn't touch it at all, stepping back with a look of disgust: "I'd better not touch it. Touching a lich's spellbook carelessly can really cause problems."

Maginus is the Goddess of Slaughter, so it might be alright for her to touch her, but Kxia is certain that if she touches or sees the knowledge within, she will definitely not fare well.

She was self-aware enough to realize that she couldn't resist the influence of the evil knowledge left behind by a lich for the time being.

Retracting her arm, Maginus glanced at the peering Ajax and handed him the leather book: "You want to see it?"

"No, no, the lich's spellbook is useless to me."

Although very tempted, Ajax refused. Maginus stopped reading and continued flipping through the book. After reading more than half of it, he suddenly stopped, holding a page between his fingers and no longer turning the pages.

The energy resonance effect is a very interesting phenomenon. The amplification of magic and the powerful nature of super magic are actually related to resonance.

The ?鹨把揪屋.冥司令巫+玲梦 easily destroys their bodies.

The ritual spell is complete, but unfortunately I don't have the talent to simplify it, though it's sufficient for now.

Chapter 391 Taking Time to Study

This book of human skin records a ritual spell called Life Transmutation, which requires a warrior with strong vitality as the core of the magic circle, and several nodes with equally rich vitality to be arranged around it.

Once the magic circle is drawn correctly and enough people enter it, the life force of the magic circle's core and nodes will be extracted after the magic circle is activated. They will fluctuate at a certain frequency, causing harm to the people in the magic circle.

The more people there are, the more lethal it becomes, and the life force will accumulate in the magic circle and completely liquefy. If pressure is applied, it will even solidify.

The stronger the vitality of the magic array's core, the larger the array's deployment range and the higher its upper limit. The lich used a mid-level peak warrior as an experimental subject and once made the magic array cover hundreds of meters in other planes.

The result was similar to Maginus's use of psychic energy, which intrigued her. If combined with Nia's magic…

Closing the book of human skin, Maginos planned to go back and read it again, while realizing something.

Monsters like liches and vampires might have a deep understanding of life force, since they need profound knowledge of life to transform themselves into undead beings.

"Next is the lich's treasure room. Should we really go in? Wouldn't it be too dangerous?"

All the important areas outside have been cleared, leaving only the treasure vault unexplored. That is probably the most dangerous place. The lich died for some unknown reason, and the guards it originally set up have probably been given a certain degree of freedom.

If they had any intelligence, what would they do first? They would definitely go to the lich's vault and try to find its legacy. If the adventure team goes there now, there are two possible outcomes: either most of the legacy has already been taken by the lich's minions or slaves, or those guys are actually waiting for the adventurers to help them open the door.

Kxia was more worried about being surrounded, but since the group had already obtained enough treasure, she felt there was no need to take any risks.

Everyone looked at Maginos. The girl, regaining her composure, had no intention of interfering with the decision; the human-skin book in her hand was already an unexpected bonus.

"Whether you leave or continue forward is your decision. My thoughts are the same as yours: avoid taking risks if possible."

There was no need for the entire team to take any risks, not even the most aggressive Maginus, who didn't need to rely on the lich's things to improve her strength.

Ultimately, Kercia's suggestion to stop exploring the tomb was unanimously approved, and they quickly left the tomb. The half-elf princess approached the advisor and explained the situation to him.

Upon learning that this was the lich's lair, and that there might be a lich's treasure vault inside, the advisor was initially flustered, but then excitement and greed rose from the bottom of his heart. He handed over the agreed reward and couldn't wait to report to the lord here.

To prevent the lords here from having any ill intentions, Neko secretly went to the Temple of Endless Light to deliver the message. Then the group stopped worrying about things here and headed back to the capital of the Kingdom of Music.

"I got the item back. This is it, right? I also brought some things out of the tomb. Let's see if there's anything that can be exchanged for contribution points."

"Ah, that's right, that's right."

The nimble green-haired girl took the bone pen and the dimensional bag. Nia opened the bag, glanced at it casually, and then poured the bag and bone pen into her demiplane. She then handed the empty bag and a thick magic notebook to Maginus.

After receiving the two items, Maginus examined the ritual array that Nia had made for her, made a decision in her mind, and turned to walk towards the inn.

Back in her room, Kxia, who was waiting for her, waved and said, "Ilsis."

"Is there a problem?"

“I think we should find some more people and rent a house or manor as a base instead of continuing to operate in the tavern.”

Kxia wanted to continue developing her adventure team, and Maginus had no objection to this, or rather, he wanted Kxia to help him pave the way.

"Okay, if you need money or have any other problems, you can come to me. You can arrange everything else yourself. Remember, we are partners, not my subordinates. If necessary, you can call Nei Ke for help."

With someone's help, Maginus could finally focus on improving herself. She watched as Kercia hurriedly left, then returned to her room, ruffled Neko's hair as she slept, and took out two magic books to look through and compare them.

The amplification spell Bennia helped her with had no name, so Maginus simply named it Life Amplification.

The two ritual spells, Life Transformation and Life Enhancement, have similarities. They focus on damage and enhancement, respectively, and both utilize and exert life force.

However, the former places more emphasis on magic power, while the latter, after being modified by Nia, places more emphasis on vitality, and also has some increase in psionic energy.

That's not enough. To deal with the prophetic crisis, Maginus needs even greater power, so she plans to modify the two ritual arrays herself to make them compatible with psionic energy.

Currently, her knowledge of magic and psychic abilities is insufficient, and she will need to learn from the Mind Flayer and Nia.

While flipping through two books in the room, Maginus's attention was mainly focused on the alchemy of life.

The core of the magic circle should be a being with strong life force; magical beasts or trolls would be excellent cores...

Once the core is activated, the other important nodes will explode one by one, and the core will finally detonate completely, creating a violent shock that affects the life force field of organisms, making them unable to protect themselves...

Just as ice melts when exposed to high temperatures, the bodies of living organisms can also melt...

The life force gathered by this spell is extremely pure and can be used for many purposes, even enough to concoct longevity potions. I wish I could complete this spell before becoming a lich...
