The aged voice brought Maginus back to her senses, and she met the gaze of the old mushroom man who was speaking to her.
Its entire body is composed of black and brown, and its dry skin and numerous useless branches indicate its old age. Its thin limbs are shaky and it sways even in a light breeze.
Maginos was not fooled by appearances; she could sense that the mushroom people's vitality was connected to the giant mushroom tree.
This mushroom tree is its true form. If I'm not mistaken, this mushroom king's strength is probably already legendary.
"Is there something you need from me, Mushroom King?"
"Deadly poison" and "evil fungi" launched an invasion, attempting to accumulate power in the purple mist to spread plague and spores throughout the underground of the entire mountain range, causing the death and injury of all living beings, thereby ensuring that they could gain the upper hand in the future cataclysmic disaster.
The Fung King spoke in a riddle-like manner through telepathy, but Maginus, now well-informed, quickly understood what the Fung King was saying after slightly altering the riddle.
Two very powerful figures want to kill all the creatures in this underground area in order to gain power and ensure that they can survive the period of the fall of the saints.
Highly poisonous and malevolent fungi...
Goddess of Poison and Plague? Zul'Gurub, the Demon Lord and Fungal Lady?
As expected, those with greater strength are more likely to encounter these difficult tasks. It hasn't been long since Maginus arrived, and she has already encountered a task that could cause the destruction of a nation.
“One of them is Zul'Gurub, right? You can’t do certain things… Oh, I forgot, your physical body can’t move. Did you notify the dwarves?”
Without revealing the identity of the Goddess of Plague, Maginos spoke the name of the Demon Lord, and her subsequent inquiries left the Mushroom King somewhat discouraged and saddened.
We were being monitored. All the mushrooms we sent out were killed by the creatures summoned by the two of them before they even left the area. As mushrooms, we were completely isolated and helpless.
If you hadn't come here from the ground, our people would probably have disappeared without a trace.
"Understood. I'll deal with what's in that purple mist. Wait for my good news."
No, I want you to inform the dwarves that, as a high-level professional, you can't defeat the many monsters inside, but the mushroom people can hold them off for a while.
With a wave of her hand, Maginus stopped the mushroom people from speaking, unleashing a strong and manic aura that caused the surrounding mushroom people to retreat in a stress response.
Sensing her true strength, the Mushroom King had nothing more to say. His withered body bowed slightly, as if in a salute.
Thank you for your help. My name is Kit.
"Tirini, just call me Tirini."
With cracking sounds from her bones, Maginus was eager for her first battle since arriving in the Underworld!
Chapter 546 The Wandering Dragon - One update today, coo coo coo
Becoming a streak of red light, it rushed toward the territory covered by purple mist, and Maginus, who was getting close, jumped onto a large mushroom.
Looking around, the purple mist was made up of a large number of spores, and many thin, wriggling mushrooms floated inside, which was quite disgusting.
Some corpses covered in mushrooms wandered around, mostly dwarves and gnomes, with one or two humans and elves mixed in, presumably also from the surface.
Parasitic monsters...
Maginus looked disgusted. Although her life force field could effectively prevent these parasitic monsters from entering her body through breathing or sticking to her skin to try to burrow in, she was still disgusted.
With one hand, Maginus drew the black iron greatsword modified by Rachel Burroughs. She gently ran her palm over the blade, chanting an activation spell. The blade became scorching hot, and the next second it absorbed the surrounding magic, bursting into intense flames.
Emerald Flame Sword!
Emerald green flames coiled around the black iron greatsword. Rachel had helped permanently imbue the greatsword with the magic emerald flames, so as long as Maginus infused it with life force, the flames on the blade would continue to burn.
With a swing of her greatsword, she created a ring of fire, and the flames spread outwards. Maginus tore apart a spell scroll, forming a fire armor around her body, completely eliminating any possibility of fungal parasitism.
"Ahhhh!"
Berserker and bloodthirsty!
With a deafening roar, Maginus, naturally wanting to convincingly portray a barbarian, activated his bloodlust by channeling his life force, making him appear no different from a raging madman.
The roar attracted the attention of the fungal monsters near the purple mist, and those disgusting corpses covered in mushrooms gathered towards her.
Wielding the greatsword in one hand, she unleashed all her power, shattering the ground within a five-meter radius with a single step. Maginus ignored the minions and charged directly into the purple mist.
The weak monsters didn't need her to target them at all; they would naturally die in the aftermath of the battle.
The emerald green flames tore a gap straight through the mist, and the flames continued to spread outward through the dense spores in the air, burning inexhaustibly.
As the spore circle was about to turn into a sea of fire, the spores in the mist began to retreat on their own, separating a portion of the mist and forming an isolation zone between the two to ensure that the flames would not continue to spread.
However, this only prevented the fire rings from spreading behind him. Maginus, charging straight ahead, continued his charge and had already penetrated deep into the purple mist.
Poisonous fog and fungi have no effect on her. Not only would they burn her if they got close, but even if they entered her body, her powerful vitality would be enough to solve any problem.
Everything that tried to stop her was cleaved in two by the greatsword, and then flames burned the remaining debris.
She arrived at the perfect time; no legendary-level monsters had appeared yet.
Rushing to the very back, Maginus saw the culprit behind all this: a ten-meter-tall purple mushroom with a concave center of its cap stood amidst the many monsters, its body trembling and spewing out thick spores from the concave part.
As she stepped onto the ground, the fiery armor burned the fungus that tried to entwine her legs, and Maginus's gloves flashed with magical light.
Its effect is simple, and it's the first magical effect many warriors apply, allowing warrior-type professionals to spread the force they apply.
The original giant sword could only penetrate the soil it hit and a radius of less than a meter, leaving the remaining power nowhere to go. But this magical effect can completely disperse the remaining force.
All his strength was concentrated in his right hand, and the greatsword slammed into the ground. The flames on the sword were extinguished due to lack of air. After a brief pause, a terrifying scene unfolded.
Centered on the spot where the sword struck, the ground cracked and soil splattered everywhere. The cracks spread forward in a fan shape, and wherever they passed, they exploded and collapsed, just like the soil struck by the sword.
Within a fan-shaped area with a radius of several hundred meters, everything was overturned. The giant purple mushroom rooted in the earth trembled, and the place where it connected with the ground was also torn open by the enormous force, with juice spurting out from the wound, while it unconsciously let out a cry that sounded like a wail.
The other weaker monsters were all thrown into the air by the explosion, and were hit by more rocks and soil in mid-air, basically breaking in two.
The swirling winds caused the purple mist to spread to the surrounding areas, which was not a good thing. If the spore concentration in the air did not reach a certain level before dispersing, the underground ecosystem would be able to clear out the purple fungus and other invasive species.
boom!
As she swung her sword and caused devastating damage, immense pressure suddenly descended from the void, and two gazes, through the bodies of believers, stared at Maginus across countless worlds.
Anger rose from two beings: a severed purple mushroom and a shattered priest. The spores that were about to be blown away paused, then converged on the two. The giant purple mushroom shrank, transferring its life force to the believer.
The Poisonous Lady and the Fungal Lady used an underhanded tactic, mixing the power of faith they had accumulated over the past few days with spores and infusing it into the two believers who were killed before they could even react.
The purple mushrooms, which are the source of pollution, can be regenerated. If Maginus hadn't died here, and had escaped with the dwarf army or successfully cleaned up the area, the outcome would have been even worse for the Ks.
"Well done!"
Gripping the greatsword with both hands, Maginus raised it above her head, channeling her life force into the blade. The extinguished flames reignited, and the life force generated more and more magical power.
More incantations coiled around the sword, causing the ethereal flames to solidify and become a seven-meter-long blade attached to the greatsword.
Leaning forward, she dragged the giant sword across hundreds of meters, leaving behind straight, scorched lines that permanently altered the surrounding landscape.
With her longsword held high and tilted slightly, before the two believers could complete their transformation, Maginus spun around and slashed diagonally, instantly spinning five times in the air, sweeping away the approaching mist and simultaneously dividing the believers' bodies into many pieces.
A scream of impotent rage echoed in her mind. Tyrene raised her middle finger and gestured in the air, continuing to swing her greatsword to clear away the remaining spores.
After spending two or three minutes dealing with the large number of spores, the mushroom people's telepathic connection made her stop. The mushroom people who came out to check the situation squatted down, picked up the scorched soil, and nodded slightly to each other.
Your Excellency, thank you for your help. The Mushroom King has prepared a gift for you; please go and collect it.
I haven't even mentioned payment yet, and it's already prepared!
Maginos became interested and wanted to know what the seemingly penniless mushroom man could possibly have to offer.
Chapter 547 The Useless Staff
Back on the giant mushroom tree, the Mushroom King slowly turned around and bowed to Maginus once more to thank her for her help.
Before the Mushroom King, a spiral-shaped mushroom cap opened, and a small platform rose up in front of the two. Maginus looked down at the mushroom staff on the platform and raised his eyebrows:
"This is for me, but I'm not a spellcaster!"
It can be used even by non-spellcasters; it's very simple. By the way, its name is "Kite's Hand".
The Mushroom King explained to Maginos in detail that, simply put, this is a staff that is almost at the high level of the mid-tier. Its material is comparable to high-tier melee equipment. It is made from the core part of its body, hence the name "Hand of Kit," which is essentially an extension of its body.
It's very tough and won't break. You can use it to hit people all you want. Even if it gets damaged, just put it in a place with water, and it will definitely repair itself by the next morning.
Secondly, there are the magical effects mentioned above. One of these abilities is called Erosion Spores. Anyone directly hit by this weapon will be infected with spores. If their physical condition is not good enough, the spores will grow inside their body, hindering their movement.
The second ability is called Hallucinogenic Spores. When waving it, it can spray out a large number of spores according to Maginus's will. Anyone who remains in the spray range needs to undergo a will test every once in a while.
If they fail the test, they will experience many hallucinations, and in severe cases, they will lie down on the ground.
The third ability is to directly summon two mushrooms to help. You can choose the type of mushrooms you summon, which are mainly divided into tanks, ranged attackers, and support.
In addition, there is an effect that Maginus can hardly use: when using spells or divine spells related to spores and fungi, they can receive an effect similar to Hyper Magic: instant spell casting.
Well, the last one is the only one that looks somewhat like a staff. Excluding the last one's ability, it's more like a melee stick than a staff.
To be honest, the Hand of Kit isn't a very useful weapon for Maginus. Few high-level enemies can withstand her attacks for even a minute or two, and legendary enemies are mostly useless, so the first two abilities are basically unusable.
The latter two abilities are also quite useless. If the summoned mushrooms were to join the battlefield, they might not even last a single hit, and "Tirini," being a barbarian, is also unable to cast spells.
Forget it, I'll ask Cosimoia later if there are any druid cults that deal with mushrooms, and then I can use this staff to trade for useful equipment.
After thanking the Mushroom King, Maginus learned the route to Emerald City from its mouth—no, from its telepathy—and set off for Emerald City.
As she moved forward, she became slightly distracted, thinking about her previous experiences.
The evil god and the abyss lord have both appeared. I have offended the Plague Lady, and there may be problems in my territory. I need to disperse the druids who have joined Netheril as soon as possible and let them set up their own sect branches.
As for Lady Fungus, there's no need to worry. Her influence on the Prime Material Plane is practically nonexistent. Compared to the goddess Lady Plague, the Abyss Lord is nothing.
boom!
The greatsword severed the tyrant's head, and Maginus dragged the bear carcass and the tyrant's head to the village chief's feet. They gazed at the enormous corpse and thanked Maginus profusely.
A month has passed since she entered the underground of the mountains, during which time she has visited many dwarf villages and towns.
Her demonstrated high-level professional skills, coupled with her willingness to accept commissions and help others, have made her quite famous in the underworld.
The bards' legend is that tall, red-haired barbarians from the surface are heading towards Emerald City in search of stronger weapons.
Aside from being wild in battle, "Tirini" is usually quite helpful. If a village or town is in danger, and Maginus resolves the request, she will reduce the reward if the town cannot afford it.
Of course, some towns tried to renege on their debts, so Maginus would simply enter the village chief's or town mayor's house and rob them by force. Anyone who dared to stop him was killed on the spot, and those who refused to pay were dealt with as well.
Are you kidding me? Would a high-ranking warrior put up with this? She's not some punching bag for a paladin.
After a month of trying to expand her reputation, she finally arrived in Jade City, where the wonder stood before her.
Before them stood a city wall at least several hundred meters high, with openings in the wall leading to several gun emplacements, ready to fire cannonballs at any time. Magical runes also flashed across the surface of the wall.
Maginus's intuition told her that even if she took action, it would be difficult to destroy the wall, which could withstand attacks from legendary-level professionals.
There are only a few dwarf kingdoms, and as the capital, its strength is to be expected.
Compared to the city walls, there is an even more striking spectacle: the royal capital, which should be a dark underground world, is bathed in sunlight.
Maginus could see clearly that the "sun" hanging high in the sky, illuminating the entire capital, was some kind of magical object filled with a large amount of magic power, which was why it could continuously emit light and heat.
Sigh, when will Doflamingo become like this?
Maginus thought she should join the back of the line, but her tall, red-haired figure immediately caught the guards' attention. The dwarven city guards looked up and asked her after she approached:
"You wouldn't happen to be Ms. Tireni, would you?"
"It's me. I didn't know I was so famous."
Maginus made no attempt to conceal her identity, and after her identification was checked, she was quickly allowed inside.
As for causing riots or anything like that, it's unlikely. This royal city is full of high-level players, after all, there are so many legendary figures among them.
Only the nobles in the city would observe her, and as long as Maginus didn't make any big moves, the dwarves didn't bother to care what she was doing.
Upon entering the capital, she saw more than a dozen mage towers of varying sizes, and the sound of hammering metal echoed in her ears as always.
Despite being called the capital, there is no royal family in this city. The king is elected by various clans, which is somewhat similar to the situation in the north.
After booking a room at the inn, Maginus asked about the location of Godessiev's workshop and hurried there without stopping.
A scorching workshop appeared before her, bustling with dusty-faced dwarves carrying various blacksmithing tools. Each one was muscular and even taller than many other dwarves.
"Excuse me, where is Master Godesifer? Please tell him I am Tyrene, who was introduced here by Archmage Bennia!!!"
The sound of hammering drowned out most of the noise, so all the dwarves had to shout. Maginus grabbed a dwarf by the shoulder and his voice boomed like thunder.
Chapter 548 The Proud Legendary Blacksmiths
The roar deafened the blacksmith she was holding, and the dwarf couldn't help but pick at his ear, about to unleash a torrent of curses, when a rough voice echoed from deeper within the vast workshop:
"I've been here for a while. I heard someone was coming to see me. At first, I thought it was just some random nobody. Turns out it was Grand Mage Nia who sent me. Come on over!"
It is clear from Godessiev's words that he originally did not take Maginus seriously, but his attitude changed immediately when he learned that it was Bennia who recommended him.
How long has she lived? The dwarf seemed to treat her with great respect.
