Weak breath.
Maginus's vitality is truly extraordinary. The weakening breath released by the legendary spellcaster only slightly reduced the fragment. Once the time is up, it will surely transform into life force and heal once more.
With only one second remaining, the old man had no time to hesitate. He decisively executed the safest plan: since he couldn't diminish the life force, he would banish these severed limbs to other planes.
Domain Vortex!
An enormous hole was torn open in front of the old man, and a powerful suction force emanated from within, forming a hurricane that began to suck in all the unattached objects and creatures around it.
Trees, soil, rocks, and surrounding corpses were ripped up. The first thing to be sucked in was the remains of Maginus. In the final moments, they showed signs of coming together, but they were still sucked in.
The severed limbs were sucked into another dimension, which meant that Maginus could no longer utilize those life forces.
However, the surging life force on the surrounding corpses prevented the withered old man from relaxing; he could see that Maginus's soul was trying to attract the surrounding life force to protect itself.
The old man decisively raised his hand and used the last powerful spell he had prepared for this battle.
Binding spell!
Chapter 531 The Revenge Journey Gradually Drawing to a Close
Aiming at the ethereal soul, powerful magic formed a seal, attempting to completely imprison her soul.
Maginus roared silently with an angry expression, making the old man believe that his plan had succeeded.
The soul compressed, and a materialized crimson gem fell. The legendary mage, gazing at the result, relaxed, while the high-ranking members of the Bloodstained Guild and the Royal Capital couldn't help but show delight.
"we won?"
"Ahem, we won. Maginus Imperius is a tough opponent."
The legendary mage, now mummified, coughed as he stepped forward, reaching for the ruby on the ground, his eyes filled with greed and curiosity.
As the mortal being closest to the gods, Maginus has attracted the attention of many, including the old man. Whether driven by a thirst for power or curiosity about knowledge, he hopes to uncover the truth.
The mummy's fingers touched the red gem, and she picked it up and placed it in the sunlight. The pure, shimmering gem completely relaxed the legendary mage, who murmured in rapt attention:
"Gods..."
Fear Aura, Slaughter Aura!
Everyone present thought Maginus was dead. It was at this moment that the malevolent dual-colored spiritual energy below the battlefield surged up!
In a daze, the gem fell from his fingertips, and a hand emerged from the ground, waving and chanting a short incantation like a death whisper into the trembling mummy's ears.
Anti-magic field.
Everything went awry as Maginus reached for the frail, legendary mage. With all his protective gear rendered ineffective, the mummy was easily seized by Maginus.
Without giving the legendary mage any time to react, she grinned maliciously, grabbed the other side of the mummy, and with a burst of strength, tore it apart completely!
The mummy was split in two, but Maginos felt that wasn't enough. She grabbed its head and shoulders and slammed it to the ground. The supersonic attack completely smashed the legendary mage's body into a bloody pulp.
Only then did she dispel the anti-magic field; the mage's life-saving measures hadn't even been triggered, and his body was already considered dead.
Its last remaining life force was extracted, its body was completely shattered, its clothes and equipment fell to the ground, and a tiny soul tried to escape, but was easily caught in Maginos's hand.
Before the legendary mage could speak, she clenched her fist tightly, and her divinity completely annihilated the soul, leaving only the soul core. The soul energy then flowed into Maginos's soul, bringing her the legendary memories.
"Dare to kill me? You're trash."
Brushing the dirt off her long dress, Maginos, who hadn't used her full strength, was still quite unsatisfied. If it were a non-spellcaster or a spellcaster who focused on physical enhancement, she could enjoy the feeling of each punch landing solidly without casting a spell.
Unfortunately, it was a spellcaster who came. There was nothing I could do but resort to deception and then quickly defeat it.
The liquid life force swirled up the ruby and crushed it. The binding spell had not sealed her soul at all, so there was no soul energy or soul inside; it was just an empty shell.
About two seconds later, Maginus turned her attention to the pale-faced high-ranking officers and approached them with a smile:
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I became a legend yesterday."
A black and red mist filled the air, making Maginus appear tall and terrifying to the enemies, who could hardly even move their bodies.
Fear, all positive emotions disappeared, leaving them only with fear. Even anger could only be suppressed in their hearts, and they had no thought of resistance.
Approaching a struggling high-ranking warrior, Maginus raised his hand and slapped his cheek, causing his head to explode and his brains to splatter across the ground.
The first one, the second one...
The enemy she once could only look up to was easily killed by Maginus. She walked towards Ebes and the Slaughter Priest, her smile gradually turning violent:
"Ah~, there are still quite a few people on the list. After I kill you, only that traitor is worth remembering and personally dealing with, Ebeslut."
The thrill of revenge made Maginot hold her forehead. The intense energy fluctuations affected everything around her. Rocks floated up, and corpses trembled as if they were about to come alive. Even her subtle emotions could influence her surroundings.
"Now, prepare for your death. Rest assured, I will not spare your wife and relatives; they will soon join you in death."
"As for you, priest of the Church of Slaughter, although I have many questions for you, you may have a backup plan from the God of Slaughter, so it's better to just kill you directly."
Despair spread. The killing priest, who had been hiding under a black robe, had his cloak blown off by a strong wind, revealing a body as thin as an undead creature. It seemed that he had indeed been blessed by the god of slaughter, and his undead form had granted him a long lifespan.
Approaching the two, Maginus raised her hand to touch Ebes's head, but at that moment, the expected accident occurred.
"Ahhh!"
Ebes roared, and the bone ring on her fingertip, realizing that the wearer was in danger, burst out with an extremely strong light, completely enveloping the two of them.
Even with her fastest and strongest attack, Maginus was unable to break through the light barrier, so she cast the anti-magic field and spatial anchor again.
Surprisingly, the white light did not disappear, and the spatial fluctuations continued.
Seeing this, she narrowed her eyes, spreading her life senses to surround the entire royal city and a large grassland, in order to confirm where they were going.
To her delight, the violent spatial fluctuations eventually subsided, and when the white light faded, Abes and the Killing Priest remained in the same spot.
"That's impossible! You did it!"
"Ibes cried out in disbelief. He looked up at the woman in front of him, seeking an answer, but he and the killing priest beside him were utterly shattered."
Blood and flesh splattered in a fan shape. Maginus swung his hand, grasped the souls of both, and cut the soul of the Slaughter Priest into pieces. He had no intention of absorbing it and chose to discard it directly.
He crushed Ebes's soul, absorbed the soul energy into his body, and some of his past memories flooded into his mind.
Without time to tidy up, Maginus used her life force to pick up the bone ring, feeling the killing energy on it, and gradually exerted her power.
As if sensing that it was about to be crushed, an irresistible temptation emanated from it, urging Maginus to put it on.
Having attained divinity, she completely ignored this temptation. The bone ring let out a wail, releasing a massive amount of negative energy, and after a moment, it shattered into dust.
Having settled the beginning and the end, Maginus raised a hand and lightly tapped his temple, praising Neco:
Well done.
Sending Neko and the others into the capital to seal off the cemetery and the area around the temple was indeed the right choice.
After the graveyard guards were lured away, Neko led the tree spirits, fairies, and most importantly, the book spirit Rachel Bert to the graveyard. Rachel Bert analyzed the situation briefly and found what appeared to be a spell used by the Bone Ring for location tracking during the time Maginus was under control.
This bone ring can allow its owner to escape to the location indicated by the spell, ignoring spatial blockades, anti-magic fields, and even time stop. However, it becomes useless once the spell is erased.
Chapter 532 Whereabouts and Letting Go
"Alright, it's time to deal with those soldiers."
Both the armies of Nesser and the army of the capital were waiting for the outcome of their battle. Maginus wanted everyone to know for sure that she had won, and won easily.
With his palm raised upwards, life force emerged from the cracked wound, forming a red mist that quickly solidified into a human shape. The enormous blood-red giant stood on the earth, a sight even witnessed by the people in the capital.
“I am Maginus Imperius. They are dead. I am the final victor. Now all soldiers, lay down your weapons and surrender. Do so and you will have a chance to live. Otherwise, you will all become my nourishment.”
The towering giant bent down and looked down at everyone. The army of Neserys erupted in cheers like a tsunami. The soldiers of the capital trembled, put down their weapons, and knelt down, bowing their heads in sincere respect.
The officers felt the same way, and many of them actually breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had no grudges against Maginus and were simply following orders. Judging from her past treatment of surrendered nobles and officers, they would at most become commoners.
That being said, those involved in the destruction of Nesser were terrified, fearing that Maginus would find out what they, these insignificant people, had done.
Gazing at the figures below, the giant raised his head and looked towards the capital city ahead. Maginus was filled with emotion, and murmured the names of his loved ones:
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister... I'm back."
The giant collapsed, and crimson mist drifted into the capital. The Bloody Hunt immediately locked onto certain people who were trying to escape but were trapped by the magic array that Rachel had already set up, and who were anxious because they could not open the teleportation array.
Every single one of them was radiating an extremely intense scarlet aura.
The aura signifies that all these nobles and officials are enemies of Maginus; none of them are innocent.
One of the effects of the Bloody Hunt is finding someone with whom you have a blood feud, and no matter what their appearance or soul has been altered, they cannot escape.
Keeping them around is pointless; the Windward Territory, along with the officers and nobles who have surrendered and joined in the last six years, is more than enough to fill the vacancies.
A cold glint flashed in Maginot's eyes as she suppressed her tyrannical nature, clenching her fist to command her life force.
The officers and nobles who were planning to escape stood frozen in place, their bodies resisting the control of their brains. They were in excruciating pain and could not speak, but could only silently endure everything.
The reason for killing Abes as quickly as possible was to avoid any unforeseen complications; for now, they could only vent their anger on the weak.
Only four or five seconds had passed, and Maginus did not find it very comfortable. She sighed, ending the torture, and opened her five fingers, turned her palm slightly, and then clenched it again.
Everyone she targeted vanished instantly, leaving behind only shocked and weeping family members.
"It's time to go home, Yiqi's dad, 07.6?"
Looking at the capital city that she had not seen for a long time, Maginus, the victor, felt both joy and sorrow. She had avenged her great enemy, but the dead could never return.
"All residents must stay at home and are not allowed to leave their homes! Anyone who violates this rule will be considered a traitor!"
"To reiterate, all residents... are not allowed to leave their homes until the lockdown is lifted. The lockdown will likely last for one to two days. If you do not have any food at home, you can ask the soldiers on the streets for rations!"
Maginos walked down the street, surrounded by a group of guards who were more for show than for practical use.
More than ten years have passed, and the entire capital has undergone tremendous changes. There are some places she no longer recognizes, while some streets have retained their original structure.
Instead of heading to the palace immediately, she went to the back of the slum, gazing silently at the wasteland, where life force gently enveloped several skeletons.
Carrying the skeleton back to the palace, Maginus was annoyed by the palace that Ebes had demolished and rebuilt. Neko, who had been waiting patiently, rushed up, slowing her pace and cautiously asking, sensing her mistress's complex emotions:
“Master, we also found some servants captured by Abes in the palace. The head guard seemed to intend to kill them after the failure, but I stopped him. What should we do?”
"Give the servants some money and release them all. As for the guards... lock them up for now. Interrogate them when Mira arrives. Kill the evil ones and let the good ones go."
"it is good."
"Take me to the cemetery."
Leaving the affairs of the palace to the officials, Maginus followed Rachel and Neco to the cemetery. Standing before the cemetery, which was filled with negative energy, she unhesitatingly poured all her life force into it.
The intense vitality and negative energy clashed, and Maginus and they were locked in a stalemate for several minutes, during which time all the negative energy accumulated in the entire cemetery was cleared away.
Upon entering, the chaotic tomb did not attract her attention. She walked to the only path leading to the Temple of Slaughter, and a strange attraction emanated from within the path.
"Seal this place up and notify the people outside to invite the Church of the Three Gods and the Church of the Sleeping Ones to come here."
Rachel Bai acted like a secretary, noting down her instructions and then casting a spell to seal off the entire Longdao Road. At the same time, she used magic to notify the soldiers outside.
Withdrawing her gaze, Maginus carried the remains away from below and buried the remains of her family members in the cemetery above. She stood before the cemetery for a long time without saying a word.
"Everyone, please leave. I need some peace and quiet."
After a long pause, Maginus spoke. Neko wanted to say something more, but looked at Maginus with concern, turning back to look at her every step she took.
After they left, Maginus placed her hand on the soil and resumed her bloody hunt, staring at the glowing red skeletons before her, searching for their long-gone souls.
With a shift in perspective, Maginos's consciousness traversed space and arrived at a place she was not quite used to. Everything before her was gentle and beautiful, with the sacred mountain towering into the sky, standing alone in a boundless ocean of holy water.
The plane of Heaven, composed of order and goodness.
Maginus already had a guess as to who it might be. She followed the trail of blood that extended from the hunt, entered the first level of the Silver Paradise shrouded in eternal night, and found the person she was looking for.
A female avatar, whose appearance was completely different from that of her mother Hilda Imperius, was smiling and talking with another angel.
Maginos watched her silently, and she seemed to sense something and turned to look around, but saw nothing.
Turning her gaze away, Maginus followed the souls of the others, most of whom had gone to a more benevolent plane, the Blissful Wilderness...
According to popular opinion, the worst case would probably be the father of the king, who went to a secluded paradise, became neutral and leaned towards goodness, and met a new confidante.
It has to be said that family members tend to be kind and orderly, and I would probably feel the same way if I hadn't experienced these things myself.
"Let's stop here then. You all get some rest."
Are they still considered family?
From a spiritual perspective, since they are living well, Maginos has no need to dwell on it. She doesn't want to disturb them and can simply consider them as her loved ones who are completely dead.
Chapter 533 Su Sheng's Astral Visitor
With her inner turmoil resolved, Maginus's serious expression softened into a smile. Those waiting outside could sense her improved mood and smiled as well, throwing themselves into Maginus's arms.
What should be done with this palace?
