Chapter 857 -842: Not the Main Body

Countless tendrils, each as thick as an arm, exploded simultaneously from the Fungus Giant, overwhelming the sky and surging toward Link and the Demon King.

The [Soul Touch] couldn’t be blocked by any ordinary defense, forcing Link and the Demon King to dodge the tidal wave of tendrils separately.

Link’s sword flashed with brilliance, cutting through the forest of tendrils at high speed. With each slash, the tendrils were severed in swathes, continuing to writhe on the ground.

Around the Demon King, ice clashed with fire, earth surged, and various elemental attacks blasted out in turn, freezing, burning, and crushing the layers of tendrils, but every act of purging only brought a denser wave of coverage.

The Royal Guard Puki stored a large amount of Water of Life within itself, and under such reckless consumption, the destroyed tendrils could regrow in mere seconds, endlessly.

Meanwhile, those Royal Guard Puki embedded on the surface of the fungus monster weren’t idle either. Frost, flame, poison, lightning, and acid mist combined into a deadly five-colored storm, filling the entire cavern with nowhere to hide.

In just a few minutes of confrontation, Link sustained injuries, and the Demon King had consumed considerable magic power.

The cavern echoed with constant roaring. If it hadn’t been specially reinforced, it would have likely collapsed by now.

“What’s the matter, what’s the matter? Just now, you seemed intent on exterminating me. You keep dodging, but you can’t finish me off like this!” Overlapping voices echoed in the cavern, and the Fungus Giant’s attacks grew increasingly frenzied.

Then, a bolt of lightning struck, finally breaking through the seal of Thunder Punishment.

However, the Demon King spoke again: “Lightning here, temporarily restrain your power.”

But this time, [Honesty]’s effect seemed less powerful than before, as a second bolt of lightning still formed and crashed against the Demon King’s Magic Shield, evaporating a considerable amount of his magic power.

Facing the frenzied and brutal fungus monster, the Demon King knew he couldn’t delay any longer.

“Link, cover me for a moment!”

Intending to push forward forcibly, Link heard and danced his longsword, fighting back in front of the Demon King and blocking countless tendrils ten steps away.

The Demon King stood in place, data swirling and twisting around him, clearly preparing something.

Lin Jun naturally couldn’t ignore.

The surging tendrils not only carried [Soul Touch], but each one was wrapped in various elemental magic. Even if severed, the residual magic either exploded on the spot or continued to release spells.

Even if accidentally injuring the Fungus Giant itself was deemed worthwhile.

Under such relentless bombardment, Link finally bore scars on his body.

The Demon King’s shield also flickered more unpredictably, fading from deep blue to light blue, then to transparent, and finally bursting silently like a bubble stretched to its limit!

“Die! Slime!”

At this moment, the yellow-covered book in the Demon King’s hands activated, its golden pages lighting up one by one.

The earth suddenly rose and enveloped the Demon King within the rock wall. A gust of wind swept away the pervasive poison mist.

Those powerful skills once consumed by the pages reappeared on the battlefield one by one.

Although the rock wall only supported for a dozen seconds, the poison mist continued to surge after the wind, the yellow-covered book still managed to buy the Demon King an additional minute with the stored skills.

“Thanks for your effort.” As the Demon King spoke, everything suddenly fell into stasis.

The flipping pages of Ah Huang, the instantaneous thousand slashes of Link, and the pervasive attacks of the Fungus Giant, all halted in place.

Not the kind of spatial stillness, but from a data perspective, even consciousness froze.

The Demon King’s right arm no longer maintained the human form, transforming slime into a Magic Wand as the remaining magic power constantly poured toward the tip.

Tier Ten Magic — Aurora.

“It’s over.”

As the wand swung, the gathered magic power transformed into a light circle that continuously expanded, reducing the touched mycelium to ashes.

The layers of the Fungus Giant were annihilated, and the embedded Royal Guard Puki fell one by one, ultimately revealing the core—a red-caped Puki wrapped around itself.

Just as Marshal Puki was about to be annihilated, a glimmer of consciousness streamed along the fungal mat from outside the stasis range, instantly reactivating everything.

The Demon King’s ability to regionally suspend time was indeed impressive, but even he couldn’t freeze the entire world. His stasis couldn’t cover the fungal mats and Puki across the world, allowing Lin Jun to awaken himself in this manner.

Similarly, Link self-awakened after a brief pause, thanks to his Soul Cloak.

Thus, within mere seconds, the yellow-covered book remained the only one still static, oblivious.

However, even these few seconds completely changed the situation.

Aurora was blocked by the timely erected Magic Shield, but now there was no more obstruction between Marshal Puki and the Demon King Link.

While given half a minute, Lin Jun could repair the Fungus Giant mostly, but before the Demon King and Marshal Puki, that was evidently impossible.

“Hmph!” Marshal Puki enveloped in the core snorted coldly, turned gracefully, and the vivid red cloak fluttered, “Impressive, you managed to draw out this move from me.”

Then it suddenly bounced and drilled into the remains of the Fungus Giant.

“Don’t let it escape!” After this strike, the recovering Demon King could only leave the pursuit to Link.

“It won’t get away.”

Covered in scars, Link’s reaction speed remained unaffected as he shattered the earth beneath his feet, instantly dashing toward the position where Marshal Puki drilled into, reaching in without hesitation despite potential [Soul Touch] attacks.

Squelch—

Link’s hand pierced through Marshal Puki’s rounded mushroom body, grasping the Green Mushroom within.

“You…” An edge of despair transmitted from the mushroom.

Finally…

Link’s palm gradually applied pressure, ready to crush the panel-bearing Green Mushroom and end this battle, when suddenly the Demon King shouted urgently from behind.

“Link, return!”

For the first time, Link heard the Demon King’s voice so anxious, and as he shifted his focus from the Green Mushroom, he abruptly noticed the surrounding scene had mysteriously changed.

No Fungus Giant, no cavern filled with Glowing Mushrooms, green vitality surrounded him, trees flourished, apart from the mushroom in his hand and the already dead Marshal Puki hanging from his arm, he felt teleported.

He finally realized something and turned sharply, seeing a Spatial Rift continuously shrinking.

Beyond the rift, the Demon King could be seen hastily rushing forward.

However, a loud bang on the other side of the rift engulfed the Demon King’s figure, and a surge of violent energy even partially spilled through the rift.

As the energy surge settled, the rift had significantly diminished, severing Link’s path back.

At this moment, the mushroom in his hand transmitted another intention, now devoid of despair but filled with unabashed glee.

“You have finally been separated!”

Link’s face turned cold, palm subtly applying pressure as the stalk of the Green Mushroom cracked: “So what, as long as you’re still in my hand…”

Yet Lin Jun retorted: “What do you mean is in your hand?”

[Race: Mushroom – Mushroom Lord (Split Body)]

[Skills: Split Body Level 1]

Seeing the distinctly different panel, Link’s face showed confusion.

Across the forest floor, countless Royal Guard Puki emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, opening their mouths, “Squeak-kok-ko-ko, ha-ha-ha-ha—Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”

Amid Lin Jun’s cheers, while Link was momentarily stunned by the abrupt shift in the situation, a Little Pig gleaming with Demon Crystal brilliance was plummeting toward Link from high above, carrying Ming swiftly!
