After chatting with the girl, Maginus packaged up her life force and a large number of assassin skills in her mind and slowly sent them to Melu. Knowledge she had never had before began to appear in her mind.

Meanwhile, the weakness and hunger that had been bothering her gradually disappeared, and the hidden ailments caused by malnutrition began to heal.

After deceiving the naive girl—no, after talking with his followers—Magnus licked his lips, eagerly anticipating the development of his first chosen prospective priest.

She lightly stepped onto the ground of the dream world, and the surrounding scenery changed, revealing a huge library filled with books in front of her.

This place contains important memories of the people Maginus killed. Her assassin skills were learned from here. With a thought, she summoned a spellbook-like book and opened it. Inside was information about the dungeon that Maginus valued.

It is on the other side of the continent, requiring one to cross a desert to reach it. According to the memories of high-ranking mages, it may contain information about the Enchanted Lock.

Chapter 447 Facing Death

In the capital of the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum Orchid, in front of the gates of the Golden Flute Merchant Guild, a caravan was fully prepared for a six-month journey, crossing the desert directly to transport its valuable goods to the other side of the continent of Knoil.

To this end, they invited many powerful professionals, and to ensure safety along the way, they also had many lower-level professionals protecting them.

Among them was Maginot, who was wearing leather armor. She did not conceal her appearance at all, but tied her long hair into a ponytail behind her back. However, she changed her name when she entered the caravan to prevent others from refusing to let her join.

"Young Master Primia, not everyone has arrived yet; it will probably take about two hours."

Some familiar names reached her ears. She thought about it carefully and realized that she seemed to have met the owner of this caravan once before, probably during the time when they were traveling from River City to White Dove City.

The chamber of commerce he was in was called the Swan Chamber of Commerce back then. Did the name of the chamber of commerce change or was a separate chamber of commerce established?

Maginos glanced curiously at the carriage in front of her, ignoring the stares of those around her as she lay on the wagon.

She was going to leave the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum with the caravan. The news that Blood Lake had completely disappeared would probably spread soon. Oh, it might have already spread by now. Anyway, Maginus wasn't afraid at all. If they dared to come, they would all die here.

I should be considered a near-god level now, right?

Stroking the seemingly ordinary silver sword, she carefully considered her current situation. More than ten days had passed, and she still hadn't been able to confirm her physical condition.

After all, Maginus's life essence had undergone a tremendous leap, which even she herself couldn't quite understand and needed to analyze slowly.

To be honest, I thought we were going to be stuck in the lake forever. But I never expected that, Your Majesty Maginos, you actually managed to do it.

The Mind Flayer in the silver sword, like a sycophant, showered Maginus with praise and showed her heartfelt respect.

Having transcended life and death, and with the physical body no longer a limitation, Maginos was no longer an ordinary being. Although it's unknown whether she had reached the threshold of divinity, she was at least no longer a "weak human."

The Gisyanki didn't say much, only respectfully addressing Maginus as Your Majesty.

Maginus's immense power allowed her to completely control the silver sword. With her psionic energy focused, it became like an ordinary weapon, attracting only a few glances because it was made of silver. Maginus herself did not arouse any curiosity.

"Ok?"

As soon as she left the city, Maginos froze, staring up at a certain place in the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum, her calm mind, which had been at peace since her resurrection, stirred slightly.

An acquaintance came, one of the people she both hated and loved the most.

Since that's the case, let's resolve it as soon as possible.

She got up and left the caravan. Once she was completely out of sight of everyone, she quickened her pace, walked out of the capital and came to the wilderness. She raised her hand and used her life force to create a bird, watching it fly further and further away.

"Inser..."

two days ago.

"The Blood Lake has disappeared!?"

Inser turned to look at his subordinates, his extremely gloomy expression shifting for a moment before he covered his face with his hands and burst into tears of joy. After crying for only a few seconds, he roared hoarsely:

"Take all the spellcasters I can bring with me, I want them, I want them..."

I'll try one last time.

Confined by the past, Inser didn't know if she could succeed, but she knew she had to do it.

Having spent two days gathering the spellcasters she needed, Inser was just about to leave the palace when a stern, authoritative voice rang out behind her:

"Inserluti, I'm saying this for the last time, don't go to Maginos Imperis!"

Abes stared at her wayward, crazy daughter with cold indifference. With each of her willful acts, Abes' affection for her began to wane.

More importantly, he now has other children, and although Inser is a genius, he is not irreplaceable.

Inser glanced at his father, his throat dry, and said nothing. He just swallowed and walked out without a care.

Watching her departing figure, Abes took a deep breath, while the advisor beside her hesitated, "Your Majesty, should we..."

"No need. Since she wants to die, then let her die."

The king turned and left, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes. Just how powerful was Maginus now? No one knew, and no one dared to organize an army to besiege Maginus anymore.

It is said that some countries had asked the legends for help, but they refused to make any demands regarding Maginus, saying they had more important matters to attend to.

……

Using a high-level teleportation spell, Inser arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum with a group of spellcasters. Just as she was about to head to the palace to ask Kersia about the whereabouts of Maginus, a bird suddenly landed in front of her and stared at her with a cold gaze.

The next second, the bird exploded completely, and a line of blood-red words fell to the ground and quickly evaporated, but she could still see the contents of the blood-red words.

Come to the wasteland outside the city gate, I'll be waiting for you.

“Maggie…”

The canine teeth pierced the skin of her thumb. Inser was extremely excited and quickly rushed to the wilderness with his men. Soon they saw the ponytail girl sitting on a rock.

"It's been a long time. This is probably the first time we've gathered together with so few people."

Maginus's calm voice rang out as she jumped down from the boulder to meet the gaze of the one she once loved, seeing in Inser's eyes the same twisted love that had not changed at all.

Unfortunately, the people standing here are no longer princesses and young ladies, but princesses and adventurers.

Inser didn't reply at all, and instead cast an enhanced petrification spell on Maginos. This might be the last time; she was well prepared.

She wasn't the only one casting spells; her other minions were also simultaneously casting petrification spells or spells that weakened Maginus's resistances, while offensive spells instantly struck her head, leaving a huge gash.

Meanwhile, Inser had a container at his waist that looked like a pot, which began to draw life force from Maginus's body like a water pump.

This was indeed different from a normal petrification spell. Maginus's limbs were turning to stone, her heart was withering, and the life force within her body was flowing continuously into the jar-shaped vessel under the guidance of the spell.

She seemed oblivious to what had happened two years ago, believing that these spellcasters could control Maginus, while the spellcasters she had summoned were all serious-looking, ready to use teleportation to leave at any moment.

"I've been preparing for our reunion for two years. You absolutely cannot escape, you absolutely cannot escape!"

Inser seemed to be hypnotizing herself, trying to convince herself that she could capture Maginos.

Looking at her, who remained motionless, a mix of emotions flashed in her eyes. Inser slapped Maginus across the face one last time, opening her mouth to roar, "Why...why won't you be with me!?"

Without any response, bound by the petrification spell, she merely met Inser's gaze indifferently, past memories flashing through her mind, and emotions welling up within her.

Chapter 448 Death Ends the Karmic Bond

Inser, her face full of tenderness, lifted the adventurer's face and stroked Maginus, her eyes filled with genuine, fervent love: "Magninus, my love, you will be my most precious treasure, let us be together forever!"

Maginos remained silent, her gaze towards her lover filled with sorrow, yet the suppressed anger and murderous intent surged forth from her chest.

"Since you love me...why, why!"

In the end, they still couldn't get the answer out of her: why did she cooperate with her father to kill her own family?

Maginus knew the answer: Inser wanted everything of hers, and naturally wanted to completely control Maginus, making her dependent solely on Inser.

Even after being resurrected, she still became agitated; as expected, hatred is something that cannot be suppressed.

Her blood-covered face gradually contorted into a grotesque grimace. The life force she had been absorbing from the vessel began to surge violently and flow back into her body. She took deep breaths, as if trying to break free from her restraints.

"Petrification Reinforcement Technique!"

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Inser retreated, simultaneously ordering the mages behind him to intensify the petrification, but to no avail.

The petrification spells cast by these mages had no effect, and other spells that applied abnormal statuses were equally ineffective. The petrification on Maginus was fading, and the red-haired girl's eyes were shining with golden light... like a priest possessed by a god.

One of the mages seemed to recognize the situation. He stopped casting spells in fear and tried to use spatial magic to leave, but to no avail. Before this, Inser had already cut off Maginus's escape route to prevent her from leaving.

No, she's just here to die!

"Inserluti!"

The spellcaster roared in exasperation and turned to run away, while Maginus, who had been petrified, had completely broken free of the magical restraints and pounced on the group of mages like a wild beast.

Instead of easily channeling their life force to completely crush them, Maginus, whose emotions were now fully agitated, inflicted pain upon them with his silver sword, and with a flash of silver light, all of them died.

Only Inserluti remained unharmed. She offered no resistance and showed no fear as Maginus approached, awaiting the pain and death she deserved.

A faint aura of purplish-black and scarlet emanated from the area. Maginus looked down at Inser, opened his arms to embrace her, and kissed the blonde girl.

A terrifying pain began to spread throughout Inser's body; it was the boundless suffering that Maginus had endured, encompassing his body, soul, and spirit.

Inser's body and soul began to melt away little by little, slowly merging into Maginos's body. Despite the pain, the emotions in her eyes remained unchanged, without any regret, and she was even quite happy.

This is exactly what she wants. Since she can no longer have the person she loves all to herself, she'll let the person she loves kill her.

I love you, I love you, I love you...

Even until her complete destruction, Inserluti continued to express her love.

The clothes fell to the ground, and the core of the soul broke free from Maginot's unconsciously raised hand, falling from her fingertips and returning to the River Styx.

With Inser's death, Maginus felt a complete release from her complex feelings for Inser, and the emptiness in her heart was partially filled, and normal tears streamed down her face.

"I once loved you."

Pressing her hand to her heart, Maginos responded, took a deep breath, and smiled again, feeling as if the weather was sunny and bright.

On the swaying carriage, Primia calmly sipped her tea, her expression more composed than her mood.

In reality, he was very wary. This trade journey was destined to be anything but safe. His brothers and sisters, as well as the old guard in the Swan Merchant Guild, were all hoping for his death or the failure of this trip.

I have to be extremely careful. And those professionals in the caravan, there might be spies mixed in. I have to find a way to deal with them.

Primia picked up the roster and looked at the list of new professionals, but she didn't pay any attention to the name "Maggie".

"Enemy attack!"

Just as he was looking at the roster, a shout of enemy attack made him look up sharply, lift the carriage curtain and look outside. Fortunately, all he saw was a group of jackals.

Maginus, lying on the carriage, slightly opened her eyes. After realizing that they were gnolls, she had no intention of making a move. After all, she wasn't there to work; she had paid to be a passenger. She would wait until they couldn't hold on any longer.

Maginus, having consumed Inser, filled a void within himself and thus entered a period of lethargy. For a time, he didn't want to do much, only wanting to quietly admire the scenery and watch ordinary professionals fight valiantly.

After I've finished my revenge, I hope I won't end up in the same situation as some legendary mages.

She sighed, patted the veil on her face to prevent it from falling off, and slowly closed her eyes amidst the clash of weapons, as if she could never get enough sleep.

Unfortunately, she was constantly disturbed. Maginus, who did not deliberately conceal her aura, was very conspicuous in the eyes of the gnolls. After breaking through the defenses, they went after Maginus first.

Perhaps it was because Maginus's carriage was a food storage room, anyway, they rushed towards this side.

Helpless, she pointed at the charging gnolls, made a gun gesture with her hand, and made the sound effects: "Bang, bang, bang..."

The gnolls' heads were being blown off one after another, leaving everyone around in a daze, including the mage apprentices, completely baffled as to how Maginus had managed to do it.

With the gnoll threat eliminated, Maginot stopped, closed her eyes, and lay down in the carriage. Just as she was about to fall asleep, inhaling the aroma and pungent smell of wheat and cured meat beside her, a mounted caravan guard came to her side:

“Miss Maggie, our young master requests your presence.”

"Let him come over here himself." She was too lazy to even move, and very rudely told her master to come over here.

Just kidding, you're already at the intermediate level, can't you be a little arrogant?

Now, Maginus seems to be returning all the grievances she suffered over the past few years. She has become completely arrogant and haughty, no longer suppressing any of her emotions or true nature.

Looking at the veiled lady before him, the guard frowned, wanting to tell Maginus not to push his luck, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the shadow of death loomed over him. His premonition told him that if he dared to say anything offensive, he would die.

Instinctively stepping back, the guard stumbled forward, still shaken, while Maginus continued to admire the surrounding scenery.

Being alone is fine too. I'll bring Neko with me when I come back.

Twisting the threads of faith, Maginos hesitated whether to "call" Neko; she hadn't sent a message yet.

Chapter 449 A Long-Awaited Reunion

"Hello, Miss Maggie."

Primia bowed respectfully to the girl before her, her gaze lingering on the face veiled by a semi-transparent scarf, unsure whether she was truly "that person."

Maginus turned around, looked at the familiar Primmia, and asked, "Young Master Primmia, what brings you here?"

Fortune favors the bold. With her by his side, the dangers brought by his brothers and sisters along the way would be nothing, but she might also attract even more terrifying crises...

Primia guessed where she came from, and she certainly didn't dare to drive her away. What she was thinking about was whether to ask Maginus for help and establish a deeper cooperative relationship with her.

"The journey ahead may be dangerous, and I hope you can help us hold off the enemies we cannot stop."

As the leader of the caravan, he cautiously made his request. Maginos glanced at him, her golden-red pupils radiating an oppressive aura that froze him in place, his breathing becoming rapid.
