Chapter 64: Burning Flame Kill
A series of roars with a slimy feel, together with the stench of rotting mold, attacked from all directions at the same time.
Brian stared at the densest group of spore slaves. The flames danced and swayed in his hands, crackling like flowers in the dark.
——“Third-level spell: Fireball!”
——“Metamagic feat: powerful spell!”
——"Arcane Explosion!"
A fireball as big as an ogre's head exploded in five swamp bear slaves and six drow slaves, and countless scorching flames spread everywhere. Flying.
Looking at the experience gauge that was constantly beating like a code, Brian nodded with satisfaction and quickly prepared another spell.
Although the fireball has no effect on the myconid leader of the Master Association, it does not mean that it will not be effective on these ordinary spore slaves, nor will it prevent him from cleaning up the mobs.
On the contrary, what these slaves, whose bodies are covered with various molds, fear most is the blazing flames in front of them.
The scorching flames forced Hesiah on the other side to cover her face with one of her free palms to resist the waves of air.
Due to the explosion caused by the fireball, even the two Dreadclaw minions near her were involved.
It only takes a moment.
The fireballs released by Brian made burning and crackling sounds, and apart from the fire that continued to burn, there was nothing else in Hesiah's field of vision.
Smelling the disgusting stench in the air, as well as the stench of burning flesh and mold, she immediately forced herself to turn her attention to the mutated myconid.
The corrupt leader of the association stood in the distance and saw that the spore slaves he summoned were wiped out so quickly.
No expression fluctuations could be seen on its festering face. It still stood in place, constantly giggling as if it were mocking, and dancing an unknown and weird dance.
In a daze, she felt that her consciousness was beginning to blur.
Hesiah shuddered suddenly and immediately looked away.
The moment a blood-red light appeared strangely in the eyes of the mutant myconid, Brian noticed something was wrong. His expression changed, and he quickly pulled Hesiah away from the few people around him without caring about the reminder. A corpse.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several relatively complete bodies of the swamp bearmen exploded without warning, splattering out disgusting clouds of gore, viscera, and strong acid.
“This is too disgusting.”
Hisaya, who was lucky enough to escape, said to herself luckily, suppressing the tumbling in her stomach.
If you look closely, you can find that her beautiful face is blackened by the smoke produced by the fireballs released by Brian. Only white marks can be seen where the sweat has fallen.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down, controlled her voice, and said to Brian, "That mutated myconid. How should we deal with it."
Although she was nauseated after just experiencing the horror fight, but she quickly regained her composure.
She looked at Brian seriously, waiting for the next words, hoping that the knowledge he learned from the book could help them overcome the difficulties at hand.
"Since fire is useless to it, let's try lightning spells."
Brian looked at the crazy mutant mushroom man in front of him, and began to mutter to himself, something like Some horrific ritual is brewing.
He knew that if they didn't kill the other party as soon as possible, it would be impossible for them to pass through this place and successfully go to the place where the Fungus Queen held her wedding.
——"Corrosion Spores!"
——"Infection Spores!"
——"Psychedelic Spores!"
Just two During the brief exchange between people, the mutated myconids spewed out a large cloud of colorful spores one after another, sweeping toward them like sand carried by a strong wind.
Knowing the characteristics of the myconids, Brian was always on guard against their best attack methods.
——"Second-level spell: wind creation!"
Almost at the moment when the mutant myconid spewed out the spore cloud, his spell was also ready in the blink of an eye.
The howling wind, carrying the spore cloud that looked like substance and the ashes burned by the flames on the ground, swept towards each other.
——“Thunder explodes!”
Not to be outdone, Hesiah held up the rune sword in her right hand, the blade glowing with mithril, and in the humming tremor, dark purple lightning runes were outlined.
"Boom!"
With the roar of thunder, a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness. Under the guidance of Hesiah's rune sword, it fell like a waterfall of noise, falling with a bang. The top of the mutated myconid's head.
The mutated myconid that was spitting out spore clouds suddenly had crackling arcs of electricity all over its body. Along with bursts of explosions, its festering body became charred as it convulsed and trembled.
"Damn it! You enemies who dare to desecrate the 'Mrs.' wedding must pay the price."
The mutated myconid, which was billowing smoke, had no idea what pain was. Seeing that its attacks were useless, it screamed angrily: "Welcome the wrath of the great sower!"
A strange energy Surging on the ground, several corpses not far from the mutant myconids quickly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The body of the mutated myconid, which was scorched by electricity, also grew densely packed with molds and tiny mushrooms in the blink of an eye, rejuvenating itself with new vitality.
"It's the dirt-absorbing ability of the abyssal mold. As long as there are corpses nearby, it can continuously recover from injuries." Seeing the mutant myconid that had recovered as before, Brian was surprised, "I didn't expect this guy. There are still two brushes, it seems that we must fight quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet moving.
Immediately afterwards, many thick and sharp root tendrils broke out from the ground, and in the weird dance of the mutant myconids, they twisted wildly towards the two people.
At the same time, many slimy roars and heavy footsteps came from the deep darkness.
A large group of spore slaves and corrupted myconid guards of various races, following the loud shouts of the mutated myconid, all emerged from the darkness and rushed towards Brian and Hesiah together. "Look there!"
Hisaya's expression changed, and she reminded Brian while swinging her sword to slash the root tendrils attacking the two of them.
Where she looked, there was a group of mushroom men who looked like Zekemu fungus. Like the activated tree men on the surface, they took heavy steps and charged towards the two of them menacingly.
"Already noticed."
Brian's expression became solemn. He took out a handful of dust and a few drops of water, and said to the sword mage quickly, "You don't need these monsters. No matter what, just cover me and cast the spell.”
The battle at this time has entered a very serious moment, and the mutant myconids are controlling the root tendrils from a distance, trying to trap them.
On both sides were a large number of spore slaves and activated Zekemu mushroom men, rushing over at a visible speed, preparing to surround them.
Hesiah stood in front of Brian, her rune sword shining with mithril, dancing out sword shadows, accurately and quickly cutting off all the root tentacles twisting like snakes.
Brian held his breath and concentrated, and after clearing the interference on the battlefield as quickly as possible, he began to cast spells calmly.
——"Three-ring spell: Ice Storm!"
As his fingers danced lightly in front of him, strong magical hail fell from the sky, carrying biting cold rain and snow and sharp knives. The howling wind enveloped all the spore slaves within a diameter of thirty meters.
Suddenly, a large number of deep roars sounded one after another.
A few direclaws and swamp bear slaves that had not been completely killed in the blizzard were also crawling forward like turtles under the condensation of frost.
Brian took a deep breath to calm down the brief confusion after casting the spell. He immediately took out a small handful of white phosphorus and sprinkled it on the approaching group of Zekemu Mushroom Men.
——"Fourth Ring Spell: Wall of Fire!"
The moment he spit out the last syllable of the spell, a curtain of purple flames jumped out.
The wall of fire exudes scorching heat, blocking the path of the mushroom man, and continuously sprays out waves of hot fire, which quickly spreads to the dry mushroom stalk and cap of the mushroom man.
The threat of flames instantly caused panic and commotion among the mushroom crowd, hindering their progress.
“Use “Flame Kill” to deal with mutant myconids. Brian, who was guiding the fire wall, told Hesiah, "You don't have to worry about it here." "
After saying that, with a thought, the gilded hilt of the 'Dawn Messenger' appeared out of thin air in his hand, and at the same time a bright light blade flashed out, cutting off the wildly twisting roots in front of him one by one.
"Flame Kill" is a supernatural ability that the sword mage can only use once a day.
Although the myconids have high fire resistance, the flames of "Flame Kill" are elemental fires from the Fey Wilds. While burning their flesh and blood, they will also burn their souls.
For this mutated mushroom man, you will definitely receive unexpected miraculous effects.
Originally, he planned to let Hesiah keep this move until the end to deal with the twelve fungus bridesmaids and six fungus stewards of the fungus queen.
But seeing how troublesome the mutant myconid was, he immediately changed his mind.
Hearing Brian's instructions, Hesiah put away her sword without any hesitation.
After all, the moves and spells she has mastered have been clearly understood by Brian through various methods such as guessing and inference.
During their travels together, she had understood the importance of obeying orders and following orders in battle.
Of course she carried out Brian's instructions without hesitation.
So, she calmed down, and under the cover of Brian, she quickly chanted a spell to transmit the spell, and in the blink of an eye, she stepped on the six-pointed star array and appeared behind the mutant myconid.
——"Burning flames to kill!"
Her silver-gray eyes were slightly condensed, and a golden flame flashed.
Immediately afterwards, the rune sword blade she brushed quickly with her left hand suddenly burst out with flames, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding void to slightly distort.
The mutated myconid instantly noticed something strange behind him.
The moment it turned around, it was greeted by a rune sword that sprayed thin flames.
Hisaya swung his sword flexibly and slashed out horizontally. The rune sword filled with flames made a 'puff' sound, leaving a long and deep flame scar on the mutated myconid's festering fungal body.
The soul-like burning caused the myconids to scream sharply.
Many tiny flames appeared from the sword wounds on its body, burning between its flesh and blood, and spreading throughout its body at an extremely fast speed, showing no signs of failure at all.
Hisaya jumped up, distanced herself from the myconid, and stared at it warily.
When the wailing mutant myconid saw the enemy retreating, he immediately recovered and used his ability to absorb dirt, quickly recovering his physical strength to resist the burning elemental fire.
Just when the spread of the Myconid's flames was alleviated, a lightsaber wrapped in electric light came through the air and penetrated its festering body with precision.
As the gold-plated sword hilt inserted into the mutated myconid's body trembled slightly, electric light suddenly spurted out from the inside out.
A moment!
Amidst the violent explosions, the myconid's body was blown to pieces, completely losing its vitality.
After accepting the 5,000 experience with satisfaction, Brian made a thought, and the ‘Dawnbringer’ flew back into his hand.
At the same time, as the mutated myconids died, the remaining spore servants fell to the ground one after another, turning into disgusting pus like deflated rubber balls and blending into the sparkling bacteria.
The Zekemu Mushroom people who were blocked by the flames were also in panic, dispersed in a hurry, and disappeared deep into the dark forest.
"Let's go!"
Brian gave Hesiah a thumbs up with a smile, and immediately followed her, speeding up towards the mist-shrouded land in the distance.
