Siderius opened the map of the area that he had bought from Erin a while ago. On the map were the locations of the Smiling Redcaps and also the One-Eyed Green.
There were many places that the One-Eyed Green had appeared before and Foglight Forest was one of them. Though, Siderius didn't expect to find the One-Eyed Green in this journey as it was rare.
He stopped at the outskirts of the Foglight Forest and planned on where to go next.
"Ruben's soldiers gave me the locations where the Chaos Beast usually appears.
According to them, the Chaos Beast was a vulture. The eyes of the vulture have really good long-range magnification. Maybe it is suitable to be the third mutation for Ocula?
I need to examine it closer to know."
Siderius rolled the map and put it away. He gently commanded Red to move forward. Lycan was running around on the ground, looking left and right.
Siderius had decided to go find the Smiling Redcaps to upgrade the <Vertigo> Sigil first.
The Smiling Redcaps were presented in the Long Cave, a natural cave system inside the Foglight Forest.
"I should think about registering the fourth Sigil as well.
Vertigo can stun the enemy. Parare to protect me. Dispellera to disrupt magic. A fourth offensive sigil can fill the gaps.
Celera is a good utility sigil that boosts my speed for a few seconds. But I don't think it is suitable for me at the moment.
Acuto makes my weapon sharper, making it more dangerous. It is very suitable to be used with Blazing Soul since Dull Steel lacks this aspect.
Piryo can also be considered since I have unlocked the Sulfur Storage. Its fire damage can be very damaging.
Ventuso is also a good one since it can knock enemies back or create distance for me.
Which to pick, I wonder?"
The Foglight Forest consists of a thick foliage of wet evergreen. It stayed true to its name with fog covering most of the area.
The sun was already high but the forest was still covered in fog.
Soon, Siderius found himself in front of a big cave entrance with a high roof.
The hunter released Red and let it wander in the low grass area. The horse could feed itself whenever it wanted.
Siderius and Lycan entered the cave. Darkness covered the area but Siderius' pupils expanded, activating his night vision.
"This must be the Redcaps."
It didn't take Siderius that much time to find the Smiling Redcaps. It was a red mushroom with many white star-shaped spots around its body.
Siderius carefully extracted some of them.
"If these mushrooms do have the mind-altering effect like I want, Esturo should be easy to obtain."
The Long Cave was a complex cave system with many entrances and tunnels. Siderius went inside it for a little more and saw the vast space underground.
However, he didn't have any business in exploring it at the moment so Siderius left. This type of biome was the home of many rare cave-dweller plants. Maybe he would return to it in the near future if he wanted some new plants.
Siderius returned to the last place he had set up camp and began to examine the Smiling Redcaps.
With a Body Revelation Seal created from Salt, Siderius examined the elements and properties of the mushrooms.
It was, surprisingly, an Earth-element plant with a very high psychoactive ability. The red mushroom literally made anyone who absorbed it to smile non-stop and feel a tingling happiness inside.
"Esturo doesn't simply stun the enemy. It can also be used to influence them, making them easier to convince. That is why a positive psychoactive plant is needed. The Smiling Redcaps is perfect for this."
Now that Siderius confirmed the mushroom was compatible, he started to upgrade Vertigo.
The process was similar to how he upgraded Parave to Parare last time. Siderius called forth the sigil inside the silver bracer and modified it, adding on the capable of the Redcaps.

"Next. I should engrave the fourth sigil also. I'm conflicted between Piryo and Ventuso.
Ventuso can create a gust of wind that knocks enemies imbalance.
Piryo can create a wave of flame that burns the enemies.
Both can be used against one or multiple enemies. But I think I will pick Piryo. The Slagpaste Bomb has become very useless lately. Using it in combination with the Phosphorus Bomb or Explosive Bomb is a deathly combo.
But it costs me time to set it up. I have to slot the Slagpaste Bomb in the sling first. Hurls it at the enemy. Then slot the second bomb for it to take effect.
But with Piryo, after dousing the enemy in the slagpaste oil, I can immediately set them on fire with Piryo."
After deciding on his fourth sigil, Siderius began to engrave it onto the black mirror of the bracer.
The sigil was simple to create. A Sulfur Seal combined with a Fire-element agent, which Siderius had a lot of.
In the end, he chose the Firevein plant as it was the most destructive Fire-element plant he had.
The symbol for Piryo was an upside-down Y with a circle around it. To activate it, Siderius simply needed to draw the upside-down Y in the air.

Once Siderius was done, he came to a lonely tree that didn't have much grass around it. Siderius drew an upside-down Y with his left hand. Then he pushed his palm forward.
The floating upside-down Y turned into a wave of fire that engulfed the body of a tree.
"Not bad. With this, I have even more tools to damage my enemies."
Siderius suddenly thought about his arsenal. He had a flaming blade, many explosives, and now a flame sigil. If he kept going like this, the witches of this kingdom would mistake him for an actual Fire Witch for sure.
"Now. Let's go find this vulture."
