The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

"King of the Gnolls, I have arrived. I hope you can bring me some fun."

With a flash of red light in her eyes, Maginus stomped on it, and the avatar that flew backward even created a sonic boom cloud. Even though she deliberately kicked it diagonally upward, quite a few Northlanders and gnolls were still affected.

He abandoned the idea of ​​eliminating all the gnolls with a single move; if he actually did that, the gnoll king might destroy the entire Iceflower City.

Just as the Gnoll King couldn't stop her from slaughtering her people, she might not be able to stop the Gnoll King's actions either.

Of course, most importantly, Maginus did not want to expend her divine power to protect Iceflower City.

Focused on flying away, her figure disappeared from everyone's sight, and in an instant she appeared in front of the King of the Gnolls, already holding the Githyanki Silver Sword in her hand.

Chapter 601 Grab it in one go, refine it in an instant!

Kicking the gnoll king into the air, the huge size difference between them, despite their equal strength, had no positive effect; on the contrary, it was extremely negative. Maginus turned around and moved away from under the arm that the avatar had swung, spread his dragon wings and flapped them, appearing behind the gnoll.

Using its claws to block the giant sword, it stared at Maginos with cold eyes, its gaze filled with suspicion and uncertainty, before tearing its left claw, which was wreathed in flames, fiercely towards her chest.

Blood splattered, and the toxins on the claws were almost instantly covered by a stronger life force. What was even more concerning was that the flames did not linger on the flesh for even a second.

Having withstood the power of the greatsword, the gnoll fell towards the snow. Just as its body was about to crash into the ground, it used advanced teleportation to move itself away and reappear above Maginus, using the powerful thrust to launch an attack.

The claws slammed into Maginus's arm. Just like before, the gnoll king felt that the grip wasn't quite right. Her defense shouldn't be that strong, yet some damage was somehow lost out of nowhere.

As Maginus casually wiped the wound on his chest, he stuck out his tongue and licked his own blood, his muscles bulging as the intensity of the battle increased.

"Stop testing each other, Demon Lord, let's have a real fight!"

Bloodlust False Armor Overload: Amplify Life Boil!

Divine power, the blood of Imperius!

Wounds appeared all over his body, and terrifying blood energy soared into the sky. The dissipated life force instantly spread throughout the entire Ice Flower City, which was tens of thousands of meters away. The blizzard was mixed with blood, and the corpses on the ground that showed signs of resurrection due to the magic of the abyss were all drained of their life force.

More life force coiled around Maginus's body, a long robe covered the girl's dragon scales, and claws much smaller than the gnoll king's pressed down on its neck, the Gith Yankee silver sword completely stained with blood.

Psionic Power: Demonic Weapon - Soul-Eroding Blade - Soul-Eroding Psionic Power: Penetration Amplification.

The silver sword, imbued with life force, stretched out. As the blade pierced through the avatar's chest and emerged from the body, the hundreds of meters of dissipated blood energy left an extremely smooth cross-section in the snow, cutting through the ice of the northern lands.

"Humph!"

The avatar's eyes were filled with madness. Its flesh and blood, which had almost been cut in two, writhed rapidly. Just like it had done to the barbarian, the life force belonging to Maginus attached to the flesh and blood was hindering its recovery. It would take more effort to dispel the violent and greedy external life force.

As one of the results of divine transformation through the blood of Imperius, Maginus, named after her surname, has her originally corrosive and aggressive life force become even more threatening.

It can actively devour the life force of others, gnawing on flesh and bone marrow, just like a true maggot clinging to bones.

Realizing the problem, the avatar of the Gnoll King transferred the toxins he could control directly to his own flesh and blood. At the same time, Maginus appeared before him again, and his silver sword slammed down on the avatar's head.

It seemed that she was about to completely destroy it, but Maginus could sense that this avatar was an opponent who could fight her to a standstill without using her divine power, and it would definitely not be so easy to deal with.

The gnoll king blocked with his claws, and when the reinforced silver sword slashed into his arm, he twisted it forcefully, deflecting the blade and causing it to strike his body, sending him plummeting to the ground.

Snowflakes flew up, and the legends in the distance only reacted after the two had exchanged more than ten blows. The gnolls were just thinking about going over to see if they could help the gnoll king when a destructive beam of magic shot out from the mage tower once again.

The attack struck a distracted legendary warrior, the ferocious magic tearing its body apart. The snow elf's calm, even indifferent, voice echoed throughout the surroundings:

"All able-bodied warriors, take up your weapons and slaughter these gnolls!"

"Move forth, all of you, and bring victory to the great Gnoll King!"

With the enemy making their move, the jackals naturally had to fight back. The two sides once again engaged in a chaotic battle around Iceflower City. But as soon as the weapons of the first melee soldiers from both sides clashed, a sense of fear emanated from afar and enveloped everyone.

Landing back on the ground, the feeling of solid ground reassured the avatar; it really shouldn't have fought with a winged creature in the air.

He twisted his neck, making a sound, and the portal in his heart began to transmit more magic power. He turned around and punched the silver sword blade. The magic power emanating from his fist blocked the blade from getting closer. The air between them gradually heated up and flames ignited out of thin air.

The repeated clashes caused loud noises and impacts, the frozen earth began to melt, and the high temperature and pressure caused all the wind and snow within a few hundred meters of the two to disappear completely.

The frozen ground beneath their feet cracked, and snowmelt sprayed out, turning into mist before it even reached them, only to freeze into ice crystals as they moved away.

Law: Deterrence!

With a loud wolf howl, everyone in Iceflower City was immobilized, but Maginus, who was right next to them, showed no signs of being affected and did not pause at all.

Previously, she had always relied on her powerful mental strength to withstand the attacks, but this time, facing an enemy of the same level, Maginus seemed to be completely unaffected.

No, this body has no weapons, so its strength will be reduced by at least one-third.

The avatar, entangled by Maginos, thought to herself, and with another strike, she severed the gnoll king's wrist. The tip of her silver sword rested on the ground, and the attack slowed down because of this blow.

It's now.

Advanced dispel magic.

With a light emanating from its left claw, the Gnoll King chanted incantations, easily destroying the spatial anchor that Maginus had set up during the battle. It then activated a high-level teleportation spell, teleporting directly back to the edge of the camp and arriving near several heavily wounded high-ranking Gnolls.

"Give me your lives!"

His right hand regenerated, and he directly grabbed the bewildered gnoll. Infernal flames rose around him, and the screams of several high-ranking gnolls echoed across the icy plains.

Dodging the silver sword, the gnoll king's body shrank. Its massive size made it harder to dodge Maginus's attacks, so it had to shrink.

Shrinking to only half a head taller than Maginos, its left hand continuously drew in the air, and the sign of weakness was projected into the air and imprinted directly onto Maginos's body.

It was still no use. Its weakening mark could affect even its mortal enemies, yet Maginus, who did not make any defenses, did not show any decrease in life force. Clearly, it was not using life force to forcibly negate the magic.

She was truly unaffected, a situation that unsettled the gnoll king, who seemed to have encountered similar situations before.

With screams of weakness, the limbs of the high-ranking gnolls he held in his hands withered, their spines fused together. As Maginus's longsword fell, he used these gnolls to ram into the sharp silver sword!

Chapter 602 Natural Disaster

clang!

The corpse and the silver sword clashed with a crisp sound, the silver sword trembling continuously, demonstrating just how hard the weapon in the avatar's hand, forged from the body of a high-ranking gnoll, truly was.

Using so many high-level corpses, the Gnoll King directly crafted a high-level weapon without any enchantments.

The weapon made of corpses was also shattered by the recoil, with unwanted parts falling off, charred flesh and brittle bones, revealing a pale white three-headed flail in the hands of the gnoll king, each head tipped with serrated blades.

It swung its flail, the handle pressing against the greatsword, while the serrated blades swayed with the bone chains, stabbing fiercely into Maginos's body.

As she tried to tilt her head back to avoid the attack, the chain extended and sliced ​​across her cheek.

The serrated blades sliced ​​through flesh and blood, but as soon as they left their original location, Maginus's wounds began to regenerate, and the toxins they carried had no effect on her.

With a flick of his wrist, the silver sword pressed down, and the immense blood energy transformed into tentacles that overlapped and slammed down fiercely, creating a huge crack in the entire snowfield. The tremor could be felt even by people far away.

Seeing that Maginus's skull had been cut open, the attack did not stop at all. The avatar realized that it had to imprison Maginus's soul while completely destroying her body, or use its massive magic to collide with her life force.

Fortunately, as a demon lord, it still possesses magic power, with the entire abyss serving as its backing. It's just that its only offensive capability is a small area like the portal at its heart.

The brute strength of an ox!

With its legs planted firmly on the ground, the form roared, its muscles becoming even more perfect. This also meant it could withstand more abyssal magic, which emanated from its pores and wounds, clashing with Maginus's life force.

On her side, there were sharp, tangible tentacles made of life force, and the blood mist tried to envelop the gnoll king, while on her side, the air was ignited out of thin air, and flames from the abyss spread out completely.

If it weren't for the lack of vegetation and the fact that the ground was covered in ice, the area might have already become a lifeless wasteland.

Their domains expanded during the struggle, and the thawing ice water formed a lake. The two stood on the deliberately maintained ice crystals, their weapons clashing, and hurricanes and shockwaves stirred up the tides in the lake.

With neither side able to gain the upper hand, the gnoll king spoke during the battle, his eyes filled with greed and hunger, and deep down, fear:

“I can feel that all your flesh and blood have reached their peak, your body is in the most perfect state, and it will continue to be so.”

"Faced with my command: Intimidate, it seems you are not affected at all, not even your mental energy has been depleted."

"Some of the damage from my attack on you has mysteriously disappeared, and I can't find any reason why."

"The Weakness Symbol has no effect on you either, and I suspect any spell that reduces your power will be the same. I'm afraid spells with the negative effect of shapeshifting also have no effect on you?"

"And your resistance to fire and poison has stopped working on you."

After recounting what it had discovered, it vigorously swung its flail to pull Maginos away from its side.

“I underestimated you, Maginos Imperius, no.”

Extending its slender tongue to lick the corner of its mouth, it uttered the divine name of Maginos, acknowledging K's identity:

"Goddess of Death, you have become a quasi-god and are on your way to becoming a demigod."

This is all the result of divine transformation; Maginus is now indeed close to the level of a god.

Coincidentally, there is a type of dragon that can become a quasi-god, a divine dragon whose "evolution" relies more on the magical treasures accumulated over a long period of time.

They are much slower than Maginus's ascension to godhood, but if we simply describe them in terms of legendary skills and specializations, the skills she adds are basically similar to those of the dragons that ascend to godhood.

Increased life force to keep the body at its peak, damage reduction, life barrier that ignores the ability to weaken the body and soul, steel soul that ignores mental effects, and fire resistance and poison resistance that reduce the effects of toxins and fire.

And most importantly, it protects the body, soul, and will from the effects of time.

immortal!

Maginus was unaware of her own predicament, but the gnoll, as a demon lord, knew all too well.

Greed and desire took hold. Before it appeared a newly born god, the gnoll king was closest to killing a god, and it couldn't wait to taste the god.

If I could truly slay the Goddess of Death, seize K's divinity, occupy K's kingdom, and take the legacy left by the God of Slaughter...

Its path to godhood is absolutely unparalleled, allowing it to overcome countless difficulties in one step, enabling the jackals under its protection to occupy a larger position among the myriad races of the multiverse!

It drew out more magic from the abyss, and for a moment even overwhelmed Maginus, shouting excitedly as it charged toward Maginus.

Maginus was overjoyed to learn from the Abyss Lord that he had become a quasi-god and was on his way to becoming a demigod. The mental blade attached to his silver sword shattered with a roar, turning into a large number of flying blades that accompanied the greatsword as they surged toward the gnoll god in front of him.

Blade storm!

The area, having been baptized by life force and abyssal magic, expanded once again, even engulfing the entire gnoll camp and approaching Iceflower City, which was tens of thousands of meters away—a scale akin to a natural disaster.

A massive lake is taking shape, and the already lifeless ice field is now completely devoid of life.

"God."

The chaotic magic and life force affected everyone; even the legends stopped fighting each other and watched the calamity as they tried to resist it.

As the disaster spread, the weak gnolls finally lost their frenzy due to the unintentional aura of fear emanating from Maginus. Fear rose in their hearts, and they screamed as they fled into the distance.

Even the legendary Gnolls, isolated and helpless, could only glare hatefully at Iceflower City before choosing to withdraw from the battlefield and temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

The outcome now depends on the outcome of the battle between the two sides; the current situation is beyond the control of ordinary mortals.

The Gnoll King wins, and the Gnolls are able to conquer Iceflower City. Maginus wins, and Iceflower City is able to annihilate the Gnolls.

"All warriors near Iceflower City, hurry into the city. Those who are far apart should stick together and protect yourselves together with the spellcasters."

"The snow elf commanded," the weather tower flashed with magical light, and a beam of light swept across the battlefield, invigorating all non-gnoll beings touched by the light.

Rainbow Light Magic Wall, Earth Wall Magic, Fire Wall Magic, Water Wall Magic, Anti-Magic Field, Holy Abode, Holy Aura...

"Come closer, everyone!"

Gathering the warriors outside Ice Flower City who belonged to their side, some of whom were too far away from Ice Flower City and, as low-ranking individuals, could not reach them in time, the people of Ice Flower City chose to establish a defensive line there.

The terrifying storm is still raging, and everyone is watching the situation closely.

Chapter 603 Opportunity for Victory

An ice floe swayed with the rolling waves of the lake. Each clash between Maginus and the King of the Gnolls caused energy disturbances in the air, triggering a chain reaction that led to environmental upheaval.

Neither of them attempted to use magic, and even though Maginus had initially tried to use his life force tentacles to interfere with the gnoll king, he had now completely given up on that approach.

Given her magical prowess, it would be better for her to focus on the battle against the avatar rather than waste her energy casting spells. That way, she would be more likely to win.

Most of her spells are useless against the Gnoll King; a single more strike from her is more effective than any other damaging spell.

The same goes for the avatar on the other side. Having become a quasi-god and on the verge of becoming a demigod, Maginus is basically immune to spell effects, and her spell resistance has been raised to an extremely terrifying level.

They are all just skilled at making progress and happen to have a little bit of "magic". It's quite useful for crushing weaker opponents, but when they really fight against people of the same level, they still have to fight a real battle with swords and spears.

In the chaotic energy field, space was distorted, and the floating ice under their feet became smaller and smaller as the conflict progressed. When the ice under their feet completely disappeared, Maginus lifted his leg and lightly stepped into the water, and his life force automatically solidified under his feet to form a foothold.

Summon the demon!

The ice floes shattered, and the incarnation naturally didn't have the same convenient abilities as Maginus, but with a flick of her left hand, several bird-like Flomos instantly appeared beneath her feet.

The gnoll king stomped his feet directly on the two Floods, his claws springing out from between his toes and piercing their backs. The two Floods howled and fell into the water, providing the avatar with a temporary foothold.

boom!

The flail struck the silver sword again, and the resulting magical shockwave killed the Flomo beneath its feet. At the same time, the gnoll king roared, "Turn the ground beneath your feet into the earth!"

The remaining large birds that had been summoned dared not utter a word of complaint about the death of their companion. They uttered incantations and shaped the ground beneath the two people's feet.

But they were too fragile. A large area of ​​flat ground had just been created, and the incarnation stomped on it with force, creating a hole. It could only spare a little energy to control its strength.

With another stomp, the force dissipated, causing the soft ground to crack instantly. It successfully charged towards Maginus, shouting, "I need harder ground!"
