The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"Arrange for a virtual avatar to come with me, dressed up as a maid."

"Hmph, you just want to see me dressed as a maid, don't you?" Maginus curled her lips. "No thanks. But if you really want to see me in a maid outfit, that's fine too, but you'll have to wear the clothes I gave you, okay?"

Lenia, who had originally intended to invite Maginus to a tea party to relax, was immediately swayed to a different topic. After making promises to each other, they happily went to the tea party for married people with their guards and maids.

After sending Lenya away, she looked at the cleaned-up desk in front of her, closed her eyes, and began to organize her goals.

"Speaking of which, although my strength is constantly increasing, I still haven't settled anything about matters related to divine power."

Alone, Maginus murmured to herself. Possessing a vast amount of knowledge of high-level mages, she was constantly analyzing spells and adding new magic to her spellbook, even though she was multitasking.

She might not need it, or she might be too lazy to use it, but at least she has it.

At the same time, she also incorporated the skills of warriors and barbarians into the profession of survivors she created, so their strength is definitely constantly increasing.

Unfortunately, it's impossible for all the legendary warriors to attack her at once, so it's still impossible to know how many legendary professionals would be needed to put her to a standstill and allow her to unleash her full power.

She has become stronger, but these are only for dealing with mortals. What she needs is never to be invincible among mortals, but to enter the realm of battles against gods.

Chapter 584 Divine Power Amplification

How do gods fight?

Myths and the things conveyed by bards are a mix of truth and falsehood. In the current material plane, no gods have fallen, and demon lords will not come to the material plane. Maginus simply cannot find a suitable opponent to fight.

As for going to the temple to inquire about the gods... Maginus felt that he was not that close to them.

She could only explore and try to understand the effects of divine power on her own; she couldn't just leave the treasure untapped and take it all out when she needed to make a wish.

This kind of action is too extravagant. Maginus also realized that the horde of gods doesn't have that much divine power to squander, so they need to be careful with their resources.

Sitting alone in her study, Maginus fiddled with her fingers, then rose and disappeared from the study, entering the demiplane she had created herself.

The demiplane is developing well so far. After consulting with many druids, she successfully built a simple ecosystem in the demiplane and even built a castle with magic, and had her maids make some furniture for her.

Emerging from his study, Maginus gazed at the vast expanse of flat ground, ignoring the dust on the ground, and sat down, assuming a thoughtful posture, remaining motionless.

An open space is conducive to thinking, and Maginus can take action directly if he wants to. In any case, the expansion rate of the demiplane is relatively fast, and it is now about one-hundredth the size of the Frey.

Raising her finger and shaking it, a crimson light tinged with black appeared in Maginus's hand. It was small but extremely bright. Under its illumination, the surrounding plants prostrated themselves on the ground, and all the plants within a hundred meters of Maginus withered.

That's right, that's her divine power. Maginus mobilized just a little bit, and the surrounding plants couldn't withstand it.

"It's time to use divine power to conduct experiments."

She muttered to herself, theoretically speaking, she was already a quasi-god. If she wanted to advance to demigod, should she inject divine power into her body and change the state of her physical form?

Maginus's soul and body are separate. After the Blood Lake incident, her soul and body were separated. For her, her body could be discarded at will, which is indeed very close to the state of a god.

If they want to walk on the material plane, they either need to rely on some kind of symbol or use their power to create a body and infuse it with their own consciousness.

These are all pieces of information that Maginus pieced together from information provided by Bennia and two legendary mages; whether they are true or not is unknown.

In short, her soul is already far stronger than her body, and now she wants to try to inject divine power into her body to strengthen her current physical form.

Pressing her finger between her eyebrows was just a habitual action; in reality, the moment Maginus had a thought, divine power surged from her soul and flowed throughout her body.

I want to strengthen my body.

Once this idea emerged, the subtle divine power flowing within Maginus's body began to optimize it, causing changes from microscopic particles to macroscopic flesh and blood.

These changes were perceptible to Maginos.

To become stronger, lighter, and more robust... to be unafraid of elements, to resist the effects of external magic on one's body, and to reduce all harm to oneself...

As if her wishes were granted, Maginus's body underwent a transformation. This transformation did not require much knowledge from her; she only needed to provide the general direction, and divine power would strengthen her body in accordance with the laws of the prime material plane.

The use of divine power was so simple that it surprised Maginos. But that made sense, since it was her own divine power, there were naturally no issues with control.

Sensing the changes in her body, Maginus memorized them so that she could recreate the same body in the future, even without using divine power.

Once a "transformation" is completed using divine power, the amplification becomes permanent. Therefore, she deliberately slowed down the changes to allow herself to see the whole picture.

"call……"

Without indulging in the sublimation of life, Maginus paused the evolution of her body, swung her divine power and pondered a question: could her divine abilities still be improved?

For example, in the Blood Hunt, as long as the target is in the same plane and Maginus has relevant information about him, his location can be successfully tracked down.

This is still without using divine power. What if we use divine power to observe?

Maginus raised her hand again and touched her brow. She used her divine power to enhance Blood Pursuit. Her already powerful soul throbbed slightly. Immersed in the divine power, Blood Pursuit's ability extended to a stronger effect.

I need... I need to find the person directly related to my loved one who killed them.

By now, most of the people who directly killed her parents, siblings, and other relatives have been killed. There are a few who escaped the net but have not met with her or dared to cause her any trouble.

The ancient tree of wisdom only gave her a name; asking her to find it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the original bloody hunt wouldn't be very effective.

What happens after one gains divine power?

The results are in: the bloody pursuit, which was originally a divine ability, has undergone a transformation under the blessing of divine power, and has truly been tracked according to the rules.

Maginus, located in the demiplane, emitted a powerful wave that pierced the barrier between the astral plane and the prime material plane, falling onto the continent of Knoil.

The next second, a scene of more than ten people appeared in front of her, some thin and some tall, and there were several familiar faces and familiar scenery.

Looking at them, Maginus read out their names from the Death Note, shrunk their location, and stretched the distance in her mind, allowing Maginus to see the specific scenery.

Zooming out again, the country's territory appears. Zooming out further, on a map of the known areas of the continent of Knoil, many points of light are marked.

"Excellent, now that's what a bloody hunt looks like!"

No medium is needed, no two planes need to be in the same plane, no specific details need to be known, and it will not be hindered by divination magic.

Under the influence of divine power, Maginos firmly grasped the positions of mortal objects.

Unfortunately, after losing the blessing of divine power, Blood Hunt regressed completely, without any permanent enhancement.

But Maginus was not discouraged. She could sense that the reason for the regression was that she had not become a false god. Once she became a false god, the effect would be permanent.

As for her other divine abilities, well, as the Goddess of the Dead, it's not easy for her to experiment with them. They're all used on living beings, but there aren't any living beings that can move in the demiplane, and plants aren't strong enough. Let's talk about them later.

"In that case, let's start by modifying our bodies to utilize divine power."

After leaving the demiplane, Maginus took some time to enhance her power.

Chapter 585 Heading to the North

"The north is really quite cold."

A cold wind howled, and Tireni, dressed in a thick fur coat, stood at the northern border of Nesserai, rubbing her hands together from time to time as if she were very cold.

Besides a greatsword, Maginus also carried the Blood Gathering Technique, which the Flower Protector had reforged, on her waist. Maginus planned to use it to fight more battles and drink in enough blood and life force.

"Isn't your performance a bit too exaggerated? After all, as a high-ranking barbarian, even the cold near the center of the North shouldn't have any effect on you."

Rachel, who was almost a homebody, also came with Maginos this time. She flipped through the spellbook in her hand and asked a question. She was not wearing a robe that looked like pajamas, but a large and heavy robe that was obviously a mage's robe.

She was dragged out by Maginus, who was originally going to go to the North alone. After all, everyone had something to do, and only Rachel could use her emulation magic to create a clone and travel around with her.

"Really? I don't think it's that bad. After all, if you put an ice cube on your neck, you'll instinctively shudder, won't you?"

Maginus answered Rachel's question, then turned to look beside her: "Speaking of which, I didn't know there were cities in the North besides Silvermoon City. I thought they were all tribal."

Laura, who was standing to the side, wrapped herself tightly in her mink coat and exhaled mist from her mouth: "It's not that backward. There are quite a few spellcasters in the North, so some cities are still very strong."

Due to its climate, the northern region has always been known for its "simple and honest people." Except for a few cities, it is basically in a state of barbarity and violence, with many people living in tribal ways.

The largest of these cities is called Silvermoon City, which seems to be a replica of Silvermoon City, a northern city on a continent in an unknown universe, and uses the same name.

The only difference is that the Silvermoon City there has little to do with the goddess Silvermoon, but the Silvermoon City on the continent of Noir was originally established by the followers of the Silvermoon.

Laura followed along. The Gnoll King was attempting to manipulate the Gnoll tribe to attack human nations, a serious matter that she had to get involved in, ideally working with Maginus to thwart K's plan.

After all, if they really went to fight, Maginus might encounter the incarnation of the Gnoll King, or a powerful legend possessed by it.

In this way, he might actually be evenly matched with Maginus. If the gnoll tribe were to separate during their fight, they would be impossible to find afterward. They would be left to kill him bit by bit in the desolate northern lands, and the unprofitable hunting would end quickly.

The gnolls, having weathered the storm, will regroup and form tribes once everything settles down. If they were to invade other countries, it would still allow the gnoll king's plan to succeed to some extent, at least giving the gnolls the foundation for establishing a nation.

In short, the succubus lady who came with them was going to the northern cities to explain the situation to the high-ranking officials and nobles, and to ask them to send troops to wipe out the gnoll tribe.

Oh, it wasn't Laura who came along; it should be said that Maginus went with her.

"So what are our identities? High Barbarian Tyrene, High Mage, and what about you?"

Maginus pointed to herself and Rachel, asking what Laura was. She held up her specially permed curls, examining their color.

"Lola, the person in charge of the Lusty Lips Ball, what else could it be? We are a continental organization, and in terms of reputation, we are much bigger than your little country of Nesery."

Looking back, a convoy was preparing, the vehicles bearing the logo of the Lusty Lips Ball. The composition of the people was not what Maginus had imagined, consisting of a large number of succubi and human slaves, but rather entirely composed of normal people.

That's true. If everyone were to use succubi, they'd probably be exposed immediately if they ran into paladins on the road.

After the convoy was organized, it headed towards the massive mountain range.

Nesery does not directly border the Northlands; a massive mountain range separates the two areas, making it difficult for ordinary people to cross unless they are part of a very powerful adventurer team.

Besides the mountains, there was only the sea, and the ocean stretched out and separated the two sides again. To cross it, one had to use a ship.

Gnolls are creatures accustomed to cold and harsh environments, so they are naturally not worried about crossing the mountains and will definitely attack from the mountains. Therefore, if you need help from a city, it must be a city near the mountains.

If traveling simply to the north, it would be faster by boat than by going through the mountains; however, Maginus needed to seek help from a city near the mountains.

So after arriving in the north by boat, they still had to travel from the port to the city, and in the end, going through the mountains was still faster.

Sitting in the carriage, Laura quite enjoyed lighting the fireplace, and smoke billowed out from the specially made opening in the carriage. She even lit some aromatherapy in the carriage.

Patting the tiger skin under his buttocks, Maginos shook his head. He could only say that succubi knew how to indulge in luxury. Everything inside the carriage could greatly induce negative emotions and sin in people, including Laura herself.

"Your Majesty, you won't have time to enjoy it, will you?" Seeing through her thoughts, Laura took a puff of her fragrant tobacco, a mocking smile on her face. "I'm sure that once Netherland becomes wealthy, you'll enjoy it even more than I have."

"That's right, but I don't know when that day will arrive."

Maginos did not deny it; she was looking forward to that day.

“Ms. Laura,” Rachel interjected, pointing to the chimney, “isn’t this unsafe? The smoke will attract all sorts of creatures, and we can’t rule out the possibility of robbers.”

“The convoy has enough members to handle the bandits. Even if an entire mountain stronghold came, it wouldn’t make a difference. Miss Rachel, you overestimate the strength of the monsters or people in the mountains.”

The convoy consisted entirely of low-level professionals, ranging from mages to assassins.

There were even priests from the Temple of Wealth there; they had been hired to join the operation and were also heading to the North to take up their posts, so they were earning some extra money on the way.

This team of over thirty people could handle virtually no bandits or ordinary monsters deep in the mountains and forests. They might encounter some mid-level monsters, but the chances of finding them were slim.

For caravans traveling between the Northlands and Nesserre, and in and out of the mountains, bad weather was the biggest obstacle.

At first it was fine, but after a few days, as they crossed the mountains, the harsh weather slowed the carriage down considerably, and a blizzard suddenly intensified.

The strong packhorses sank their hooves into the snow, slowly pulling themselves out of the snowdrifts and taking one step forward. Each step was taken carefully and slowly. The caravan entered the mountains, where evergreen trees provided much-needed shelter from the wind and snow.

As night fell, Maginus and Rachel got out of the carriage, took out the warm food from the demiplane and ate it as quickly as possible to prevent it from getting cold. Then they used their house staffs to open the invisible villa.

Leomond's cabin.

The spellcasters also used magic to build houses, so the caravans wouldn't have to spend the night in the blizzard.

Chapter 586 Romantic Comedy?

The days in the mountains were uneventful, and the caravan did not encounter any gnolls. They were clearly still in the preparation stage and had not launched an immediate attack, or even migrated from the north to the vicinity of the mountains.

Just as they were about to leave the mountains, something interesting happened. The caravan found two people who were almost frozen to death, a man and a woman. Judging from their clothes, they were from wealthy families, wearing woven cotton-padded jackets rarely seen in the north. They were probably the children of a chieftain from a nearby small tribe.

What's interesting is that Laura became interested when she saw the little boy and wanted to chase him away in a big cart.

"Are you awake?"

The warmth gradually roused the boy and girl, and the gentle voice relaxed their initially wary hearts. When they opened their eyes, a blonde beauty dressed in gorgeous clothes looked at them, surrounded by guards and servants.

"Oh, by the goddess of winter~".

The boy swallowed hard. The girl reacted first, glancing around to find that they were still in the mountains and that the people around them were not hostile. In other words, they were the ones who had saved her.

Then she coughed, pulled the boy up to perform the northern etiquette, introduced herself, and inquired about Laura and the others' origins, acting more like an elder sister:

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Muna, and this is Ralph. We come from the Snow Eagle tribe, which is located near the mountains in the North..."

Half a day ago, the two of them went deep into the mountains for hunting, but a sudden blizzard made them lose their way. They eventually collapsed in the snowdrift due to exhaustion and were rescued just as they were about to die.

"Hello, Miss Muna, and Brother Ralph, we are a caravan from the country of Nesery, which is located on the other side of the mountains. We are heading to the city of Iceflower."

Laura parted her red lips slightly, without deliberately displaying her charm, yet Ralph was completely captivated by her posture and expression.

“Master, that succubus seems interested in the little guy from the North,” Rachel said, glancing at him.
