However, before he could even make a move, a figure suddenly appeared in front, causing some chaos among the Imperial Guards.
They discovered that the one blocking their way was the former legion commander, the strongest Salt Crystal Guardian, Katherel.
That's right, Benedict went to this high-ranking warrior, and after some time, the warrior agreed to help Benedict.
Chapter 197 Energy Vortex
A scene even more chaotic than Nessere unfolded before Maginus.
After leaving the palace, the girl seemed to have broken free of shackles and cages, and continued to move forward through the streets, with all sorts of chaotic scenes coming into view along the way.
The people somehow learned that a lord was about to rebel and lead an army to attack the capital. Panic ensued, and people frantically packed up their belongings to flee.
This capital city lacked the massive military force of Netheril to maintain order, and the rats in the gutter seized the opportunity to come out.
Thieves or thugs disguised as robbers steal the property that ordinary families depend on for survival. When they see a beautiful woman or even a man, they will pounce on her to satisfy their desires before they die.
That's considered good; if someone harbors extreme malice, even ordinary people wouldn't survive.
Originally harmonious neighbors fought each other, each trying to kill the other and take their valuables and food. In the end, a third party profited from the conflict, and both died and lost everything.
No one knows who started the fire, but whether intentional or unintentional, raging flames spread throughout the residential area.
This fire is completely different from the one caused by cults. Previously, only a small area was affected by fire, and the army was able to extinguish it in an organized and timely manner.
However, the fire is now spreading in all directions, with the fire sources being extremely scattered. No one is organizing firefighting efforts; everyone is focused on preserving their own property and lives, and no one cares how much the flames will actually burn.
In the chaos, everyone's malice was activated.
Besides, Maginus also saw the shadows of demons, devils, and undead creatures, who had also joined the feast. Although demons hated chaos, they would not give up such an opportunity to obtain souls.
"Conflict and slaughter..."
Taking a deep breath of the smoky air, Maginus, who was running, opened her closed eyes, and a substantial crimson light flowed in them!
Food Souls!
An imperceptible psychic energy fluctuation spread out, and within a huge spherical area centered on her, all the corpses trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the blood flowing on the ground began to "evaporate," and wisps of visible red mist rose from the corpses and pools of blood, drawn by psychic energy towards Maginus.
This strange phenomenon has drawn the attention of many. However, it's not just vitality that's affected; souls that haven't yet made it to the underworld are also dissipating at an accelerated rate, as are the residual soul energy on the corpses.
Some of the corpses and souls harbored resentment and should have transformed into undead creatures to continue destroying the capital and killing even more lives.
However, the remaining souls within the corpse, which had not yet solidified and were filled with resentment, collapsed. The dissipated soul energy, along with the red mist, swept towards the center of the vortex!
A massive vortex of life force and soul energy appeared inside the royal capital. Spellcasters and creatures from the lower realms noticed it, their faces showing apprehension, and they dared not get too close.
"What on earth happened over there!" A paladin stared wide-eyed, very nervous as he remained at the church.
The churches are currently the only places that haven't experienced major chaos. The good faction churches have sent many people out to bring back more residents and ensure their safety.
The neutral churches went to rescue their own believers, and refused to accept other people who were pleading outside their doors.
As for the churches of the evil faction? Due to the policies of the Crystal Salt Kingdom, the churches of the evil faction dare not appear openly, as they are breaking the law.
Currently, the only evil church in the city is the Blood Clan of Heretics.
In short, the vortex caused a huge reaction. This energy vortex moved with Maginus's movements, and she, standing at the center, had a very strange and special feeling.
The killing intent in her heart had not diminished in the slightest, but the girl was certain that she could suppress this bloodlust influenced by the evil god.
Under the influence of the immense soul energy, her consciousness transformed from the fatigue of suppressing desires to a state of euphoria.
"Ah... this is really enjoyable."
Majinus savored the sense of security, and after a few seconds, having adjusted, she clapped her hands gently, causing the life force mist surrounding her body, which could not be contained, to spread outwards.
After wandering around the city absorbing an unknown amount of soul energy, she casually found a dilapidated house to sit down and took out the Gissilver Sword, holding it in her hand.
"what happened!?"
"Miss Human, what's the status of your psychic abilities?"
The Gisyanki and the Mind Flayer asked in astonishment, but the girl ignored them, closed her eyes, and entered a deep dream.
She first wanted to try to use her immense soul energy to completely kill the evil god's will, which was weak to the evil god himself but very powerful to her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the crimson space. Maginus casually conjured a mind blade and gently swung the short sword in her hand. A vast amount of soul energy flowed in from outside the mental dream and quickly reshaped it.
A "protector of flowers" appeared in her hand. She looked up at the place where the skeleton crawled out, took a deep breath, and drew more energy to envelop her body, forming something like armor.
"I need growth, growth in all aspects."
Maginus muttered incantations, hypnotizing himself, recalling the battle between the Githyanki and the Mind Flayers.
At that moment, the skeleton had already trampled the ground and was rushing towards her. Maginos knelt on one knee, silently grabbed a handful of soil, and while smelling the blood on it, imagined the original rotten smell of the soil.
As the skeleton drew near, Maginus, who had been relentlessly killed by it, opened her eyes, which emitted both black and red light.
She stared at the skeleton leaping towards her, and finally, the usual indifferent expression on her face changed.
It wasn't a smile, it was anger!
She instantly stood up, placed the protector at her waist, and her soul energy coiled around it, transforming the protector into the shape of the Gith Silver Sword.
Meeting the flickering soul fire within the skull's eye sockets, Maginus roared in fury:
"This is my spiritual world, this is the abode of my soul!"
A shockwave carrying both black and red colors spread out from her center. For a fleeting moment, the mental dreamscape swept by the shockwave was no longer scarlet, but a normal color.
The skull turned deathly pale, the sky turned azure blue, and the soil turned brownish-gray...
The only things that were crimson and deep black were Maginus's long hair and her eyes, and the blood that was about to flow from her!
The last golden particles left in Chapter 198
boom!
The silver sword, roughly the size of Maginot's height, was easily swung by her and struck the skeleton, its color briefly returning to crimson before vanishing again.
The skeleton, which had been swatted away, let out a sharp roar from somewhere. Its limbs landed on the ground, its body pulled back, and it leaped again, sending countless rocks and dirt flying up from the ground.
Recalling the Mind Flayer's moves, Maginus raised her hand, attempting to use her powers to block the skeleton. She activated her powers to the fullest extent and exhausted her soul energy. The skeleton paused for about a second before falling again.
My own potential remains the same; the Silver Sword of Geese is just for show, its essence is still a Nen Blade.
Watching the falling skeleton, Maggie deliberately did not retaliate, her eyes gleaming with excitement, knowing that success or failure hinged on this moment.
The girl's body was smashed to pieces by the skeleton, but the dream was not destroyed as it had been with countless previous deaths. A massive amount of soul energy surged into the mental dream once more, and Maginus reappeared in front of the skeleton.
Looking at the uneven ground behind the skeleton, Maginus couldn't help but cover his forehead and burst into laughter. He was shattered by another blow from the skeleton, and then regenerated again!
"Hahahahaha!!"
The girl laughed wildly, raised her mind blade, poured all her soul energy into it, and slashed out, sending the blood-red skeleton flying once again.
The immense soul energy, the spiritual dreamscape that wouldn't cause soul death, and the special force field from the external Gith Silver Sword that accelerated the entry of spiritual energy into the body...
Maginus achieved a certain degree of immortality in this dream; as long as there is enough soul energy provided by the outside world, she can be reborn continuously within it!
At this moment, the offense and defense completely reversed. Feeling her spiritual energy surge once again, the girl hurled the silver sword at the skeleton, striking it and cracking its body.
However, the moment she threw the psychic blade, her psychic energy surged again.
The girl excitedly created another silver sword, then poured a huge amount of spiritual energy into it and threw it out.
An inexhaustible supply of psychic energy was flowing into her body. Maginus clenched her fist, raised it above her head, and then released it. The silver sword Gith appeared and then transformed into a more easily wielded protector.
With a powerful stomp on the ground, she accomplished something similar to the Giese Yankees and the skeleton, causing the ground to crack extensively, and she herself leaped high into the air and pounced on the skeleton.
Attack, attack without worrying about any injuries!
Having confirmed that he could survive countless deaths, Maginus completely abandoned defense or evasion and engaged the skeleton in direct combat.
The body will recover the moment it is torn apart, and the soul energy will be quickly replenished after it has been fully released.
In this constant struggle, most of the psionic energy was used to attack the skeletons formed by the killing intent, but a small portion was used to attack the environment.
In this situation, the color of the environment will always change towards the normal color of the prime material plane within a very small range.
Soul energy can indeed cleanse deeper levels of evil god power. Maginus could keenly sense that whenever the energy wave swept over her, she felt her uncontrollable bloodlust lessen.
She didn't have time to worry about her own changes, so she stopped attacking and retreated, while looking at the skeleton that had already been attacked multiple times.
At this point, the skeleton was in a terrible state, with two legs and one arm shattered, the broken bones showing no sign of coming back, and its body was disintegrating further.
Even so, the skeleton, dragging its mangled body, colliding with Maginus, and if she were not careful, she would still be directly crushed by the skeleton's impact.
After this battle, Maginus realized that the clash between mental dreams is a clash between souls and wills. Even if the body is damaged, as long as there is enough soul energy and the will remains, the battle may not end.
Looking at the remaining mutilated body, Maginus's eyes flickered, and a different thought began to form in her mind.
She resumed fighting the skeleton, and as she shaved off another bone, she instantly raised her hand and released her spiritual energy, creating a hollow sphere based on the Mind Flayer's appearance in her memory, which enveloped the falling bone.
Ceasing her attack on the skeleton, Maginus channeled a massive amount of psionic energy into the hollow sphere, turning the bones inside into powder, and then setting the powder ablaze!
A sharp cry rang out, and Maginus's eyes widened as she felt a resistance to completely removing the powder.
This feeling is really wrong, and that's exactly what's wrong.
I felt this resistance when psionic fluctuations caused changes in the color of the environment, but the resistance was mild, probably because I hadn't cleansed enough.
After the skeletons and the Dark Guardians were killed, the will of the evil god was not completely eliminated, but weakened. It took about three weakenings for Maginus to be free from severe control.
The first time was from the killing and fear of her own bloodline. The black hand emitting green light and the huge scarlet skull, the two strongest wills completely collapsed at that time, giving the girl a preliminary freedom.
The second time, two entities were absorbed: the Crimson Skull and the Dark Guardian. They killed each other but did not completely eliminate one another. Instead, they merged into the purplish-black environment and went into complete hiding.
The concealment has become more advanced, but correspondingly, the ability to exert coercive control has decreased, and it can only barely affect the girl's perception.
If she were a warrior or didn't value spiritual matters, she would likely be outmaneuvered even if she survived to the end.
Remembering what the Mind Flayer had said about the fate of a god's offspring in another universe who had experienced the same thing, the girl suppressed this strange feeling and increased the amount of soul energy she poured in.
As the sphere exploded, the powder in the bone completely disappeared, and a blood-red golden particle flowed into the girl's current spiritual body.
The light was extremely small, not even the size of a grain of sand, but for some reason, she still saw it.
Unaware of any specific changes within herself, she turned her gaze to the skeleton and raised her weapon.
"If only the real world could be like the dream world."
After about an hour, Maginus finally managed to grind the skeleton to death.
Upon waking from the dream, Maginus couldn't help but sigh coldly, for the energy of the soul in dreams was not comparable to that in reality.
Well, it's mainly due to the girl's own issues. The prime material plane has to deal with the physical and spiritual aspects of bearing and compatibility, so it's impossible to manipulate soul energy at will like in a dream.
When fighting skeletons, she actually has the same upper limit, but the continuous flow of soul energy can replenish her soul, so she doesn't have to worry about physical stress.
Ultimately, she used her immense soul energy to grind the skeleton to death. Every move she made unleashed the maximum amount of soul energy she could muster, pounding the skeleton until it was worn down.
Every move and every step he took while running on the ground was imbued with intense spiritual energy.
Chapter 199 is complete.
Having dealt with the skeleton in her dream, Maginos stepped out of the dilapidated room and looked up at the enormous energy that was still surging towards her.
As Maginus stepped out of the room, pondering how to find her blood relatives, a sudden fluctuation from the lower realm drew her attention.
Judging from the location, it's not Benedict, which means that his cultist relatives are summoning creatures from the underworld again?
It looks like they've already started fighting; I need to get there quickly...
Having confirmed the location, the girl temporarily stopped absorbing spiritual energy and life force, minimizing the impact she caused as much as possible, and rushed towards that direction.
Along the way, she calmly checked her condition, recalling the process of continuously shaping her mind blade in her mental dream. In an instant, a short sword appeared in her hand.
As she infused it with her soul energy, the short sword transformed into a long sword, no longer in the shape of a protector, but still controlled by the skull and claws.
There was an unexpected bonus this time: the Soul Blade Techniques, which were being trained, have been completed in terms of timely materialization and mind blade shaping.
"The next technique is to enhance the mind blade and the speed of mind movement... a technique that greatly enhances the combat power of a Soul Blade user."
Having put that matter aside, the girl focused on her journey, constantly adjusting herself.
At the source of the Lower Realm Wave Alliance "Xx Zero Blame = Another Dance Dam Movement, Maginus's three blood relatives have arrived. In addition to them, there is a group of soldiers with indifferent eyes. All of these soldiers have special magical runes in their eyes.
At this moment, the soldiers were exceptionally fearless, fighting to the death with the monsters that emerged from the summoning circle beside the cult bishop, showing no intention of fleeing.
Under Marku's command, they even managed to suppress the monster, ensuring that Marku and Erla could fight two against one. Currently, there are even idle individuals who can launch attacks on the cult bishop, posing a certain threat.
"Hehe, my brother, we finally meet. Looks like you're confident you can defeat me?"
The cult bishop had now revealed his true colors; having lived in darkness for so long, he was pale and emaciated.
